Boonbing

The great thing about Portadroid is that it is easy for noobs like me to try out different ROMs or new releases while still keeping Windows Mobile for legacy programs - in particular TomTom. It will be sad if you stop but I will then also stop and choose one to migrate to NAND boot.

I think I should have collected your signatures - these ROMs look interesting:

Android Boot 2: Portadroid Ultimate SuperRAM GB V4.0 (Cool Sensation v7.0) HTC Desire Sense 3.0 Port (Beta Stage)

Android Boot 3: Portadroid Ultimate SuperRAM GB V4.0 (Virtuous Unity v1.31.0) HTC multi-device Sense 3.0 Port (Beta Stage)

Question for the Portadroid community, although most of your signatures show you use stock ROM, would anyone recommend an alternative that works well with Portadroid? Looking at XDA HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development forum the two largest ROMs are Artemis HD2 v64.0 by sternas and Energy Series 29022 /21916 by NRGZ28. My stock WM has started getting unexpected error in ProfileCheck.exe so I need to reinstall WM and thought I would try something new. Any suggestions gratefully received,

It is so much easier with Portadroid and Titanium backup!

Cheers

I've been using Energy's ROM's for a long time, for me they are the best, fast, clean, very stable...

Edit: Nm, I see tytung nexushd2 rom supporting it.

Still using your old oxygen port without problems. thanks!

can anyone confirm whether any of the later ports (oxygen, tytung) allows wifi calling with tmobile? I really need this while at work. If not, can you try to port one of the roms that does. I only know cm7 does but that doesn't run on sd ram as far as I know.

Hi boonbing, can you help me?

I have discovered that the apn of my company where I work, it is not working with Portadroid 3.0 and 3.1 so I can use only Portadroid 1.1 but I have a problem with 2.3.5 rom. In those rom wifi don't work.

Zahurtex, thank you and sorceforge, this is a nice combination of the best of Adam G's Oxygen and Tytung's Nexus:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1246109

Considering this is dungphp's first non Sense rom - Android Ginger 2.3.5 with Kernel Tytung r12 b1 - it is right up-to-date. Portadroid v3.1 makes it really easy to try out this NAND ROM and I would recommend taking a look at v1.1 especially if you like having Screenshot in the power button and notification power widget buttons.

You might find what youre looking for here:

Or I believe tytungs rom supports wifi calling:

You should be able to port these with portadroid v 3.1.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
If you want to use the same APN configuration from Portadroid 1.1 which is good for your company environment on Portadroid 3.1, then copy the file "\Android\update\portadroid_files\system234\etc\apns-conf.xml" found in Portadroid 1.1 unzipped package and overwrite the same file in the GB2.3.5 ROM that you want to port (also in "/system/etc/apns-conf.xml".

Hope this helps.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Claus72:
Thank you for your answer.

I've tried but I'm sorry it doesn't work. With Portadroid 3.1 all the other apn are working but the one I need of my company is not working.

I think there is something else in Portadroid 1.1 that make the apn working.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
Ok. Then you might want to try replacing the attached "init.htcleo.rc" (added txt on attachment to enable uploading but remove the extension ".txt" before you use it) file found in "/system/" after porting the GB2.3.5 ROM (using Portadroid v1.1) to fix the wifi issue. Reboot Android after replacing the file.

App2SD OK with Portadroid Lite SuperRAM GB v3.0 NOT v 3.1

OK if I port using Portadroid Lite SuperRAM v3.1 then I cannot move any apps to the SD card. If I port using Portadroid Lite SuperRAM GB v3.0 then it works. This is true for both Desire (Oxygen2.2.2) and NAND (AOSP Google Android 2.3.5 - GRJ90) running on SD from WM. Boonbing when you have time you may want to look at this. I was finding v3.1 smoother than v3.0.

Thank you biker14 for recommending Energy's ROM - this has a nice Android shortcut that runs CLRDCAD and Haret in the Android folder.

Question: does anyone have any easy way to turn off HTC Sense in Windows Mobile before rebooting into Android ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] greencloudz:
You bet. In win 6.5, go to home screen to start to settings to menu(at bottom) and tap all settings to today to items, and uncheck sense box at bottom of the list, tap ok at top. :)

Sorry I don't recall who wrote that. Someone in xda or from just Googling. M

P.S. Anyone have the experience like mine recently... my hyperdroid gbx v. 12 ported by portadroid SuperRAM/SuperPartition gb v 2.0 suddenly after weeks of no probs is now freezing, or has gallery going v v slow, or having the storage card not completing its sync after reboot, etc?

(yet my second rom is giving no trouble.)

9.9.11

Handled by deleting the android folder and then using portadroid 3.1 (instead of portadroid superpartiton) to reinstall the hyperdroid v12.

Its working well. One funny thing...it wouldn't boot until I included the Rom's boot file into the portadroid's root file. Haven't needed to do that before.
[HD2 Android SD Development] biker14:
Turn off Sense

Hi Szczepanik

You're welcome. :)

I normally do what greencloudz said... I don't know any other way to switch sense on and off easier or faster, if that was what you were asking. :rolleyes:

The only way I know to turn sense on and off is to go to Settings then Home then tap on Items and just uncheck the box next to HTC Sense. I normally then check the windows default box to have a minimum on the Home Screen. I read somewhere that switching off sense helps with the battery consumption in Android, it might be a placebo effect but it does seem to work.

If you really don't want or don't need HTC sense, or CHT and all the rest, you can always install Energy's Titanium ROM, which is basically the same ROM but without sense and a bunch of other stuff, so it's lighter, a bit faster, saves space...

I hope this helps.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Szczepanik:
Turn off Sense

Thank you biker14 and greencloudz for your helful advice. I use WM and like Sense as it works well during the day. At night I turn into an~droid! Turning off Sense definitely helps with the battery consumption. Searching around I found this article in the xda Portal: Kill Any UI with UIFlex for WM which may be a possible solution as it can kill Sense whenever an app is started and restart it whenever the app was terminated. Another possibility is Artemis HD2 v64.0 by sternas as this has an Home Screen Selector application for fast switching between Artemis ROM 3xHome Screens. Artemis also has Cyberon Voice Speed Dial. I use WM TomTom to navigate home (OK really to warn me of speed traps!) and would like to be able to turn off Sense etc and reboot into Android at the push of a button as I near home so that by the time I am in, all my emails etc are received using home WiFi and I can use XDA Tapatalk to read the forums!

This is a great community - thanks to Boonbing for creating it.

Market issues with HyperDroid 3.0 NAND ROM

Hi,

I searched the thread to see if this issue was reported previously but unfortunately, didn't see any.

I am using Portadroid Lite SuperRAM v3.1 with HyperDroid-v3.0.0 NAND ROM based on CynogenMod 7.0. Everything is super smooth, including the install and boot-up etc. The *only* issue that I seem to have is that I cannot download anything from Android Market. Downloads proceed until the point where it says "Downloading.." and then it simply closes the download.

I have tried the following "tricks" to see if I can get the downloads to start:

- Rebooting multiple times

- Clear data for Google Transport, Google Framework, Google Market

Can anyone suggest something that I could possibly try? 'Cause I love the plain and simplistic look of this ROM and the features CM7 has to offer.
[HD2 Android SD Development] makuu:
I've the same problem, I was thinking of trying portadroid v3 instead of 3.1. but didn't have the time to try yet.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :

[HD2 Android SD Development] greencloudz:
I see you're using portadroid v 0.2 for the RAF (Rom). Was that Rom not porting with later versions? I ask because porting that Rom & a couple others with portadroid v. 3.1, its showing my SD card being damaged, and even reformatting doesn't handle.

Other Rom's work fine & don't show any error w SD card.

Had been trying to port that ROM with Portadroid 3.1 but without success.

Using a T-Mobile US HD2 with WP7 Mango 7720 on NAND and a 32 GB Sandisk class 4 Memory card with 3 other SD builds.

Could you please share some hints on porting this ROM?

Do you also transfer the data folder alongside with the system, META-INF and Boot folders or merge it with the system folder?

Thanks.

Finally was able to port the miui build with portadroid 3.1 the problem is that I need to use memory autokiller in aggressive in order to avoid the build not to hang, but this way it kills a lot of processes and sometimes it even kills alarms.. boonbing : how to port the build without load it in to ram? I was able to do this in the past using portadroid 1.0 and booting from win mob, but since I'm using magldr portadroid 1.0 can't port correctly the roms that i tried .. thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Claus72:
I have ported the EU version of this rom.

I have made everything as the first post except this.

Before you run for the first time portadroid, you have to move all the folders inside android\sd-ext\sys-parts in android\root\system otherwise it doesn't boot.

The first boot takes about 13 min.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iandy1:
Thanks for your answer, will try again and wait over the 13 minutes for the first boot.

To share findings, ported the Sept. 20 Energy Sense 3.0 Desire HD build.

It boots with a nice animation, but miss a lot of widgets.

The widgets are completely transparent to the point

that you can't see any outline of the widget, only the text on it but works.

Weather works but without the animation.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] yugoport:
that happened to me too, is the data folder that comes inside the rom package somewhere to work that we need to put it somewhere..i just dont now where is that somewhere..
[HD2 Android SD Development] iandy1:
Thanks for answering.

Yes, the problem is the location of the data folder. It has weather and app folders inside.

Will try merging the data folder's app folder with the app folder on system

and also add the weather folder to system.

Or may be possible to add the contents of the data folder as minor updates like root\system\app and root \system\weather?

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] yugoport:
I only saw now how bad I wrote in my las post:p

I think i tried to do that without success, but you can try and give feedback..i didnt manage to put the icons and wheather working.. so i ended deleting the build from my sd card.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
Sorry guys, have been out of touch with Portadroid for some time... been quite busy with family and work. Also spending most of my time on xda reading about kernel development, intended for Portadroid Ultimate release, but so far progress has been slow.

For those porting Sense ROM and having problem with weather animation, the weather folder should go to "/system/media/". To get a clue on how the various "out-of-system" folders should be organize, you can open the file "\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script" using a text editor and take a look at symlink("xxx" , "yyy") where "xxx" is the "un-ported" folder location and "yyy" should be the final destination of where the folder should be after porting.

L'errore era nella preparazione del Portadroid. Avevo messo il contenuto della sd-ext sotto system.

Ho inoltre notato che installando autokiller memory e settandolo su ultimate per cercare di velocizzare un pò la rom, ogni tanto non apre qualche applicazione ma bisogna insistere varie volte, quindi l'ho settato su un valore più basso e ho compensato con un pò di overclock.

Come hai risolto, tu la lentezza della build?

I changed the microsd with a new one and now I ported with no problem NDT rom. Only the storage issue.

After some test, I can say that NDT is a little faster than DHD but I don't like NDT because it has a strange resolution due to porting from Pyramid stock rom.

In DHD I have install glitches fix and in the v. 1.3 there is no more gallery bug. To make DHD faster like NDT I use 1.190mhz overclock.
