New update!

New update 2.8.1.1

If someone already installed the update before my change log, please redownload and install. (made changes)

I have gathered tweaks from all pages that many of you posted for me :)

So big thanks to all developers that gathered them and created posts about them! (left thanks in all posts)

And HUGE Thanks to all members that found the posts and posted them here!!! :)

Its was not easy to adapt some of them to our ROM but eventually i added many of them!

So what's new :)

***Added older google framework that worked better then new one. (will effect google apps)

***Added libaudio from latest tytung r12 beta3 with audio boost!

i hear so good that i have to lower the volume when some one calls me! :)

no need any MIC gain fix, every one hear me ok :)

***Added lots of system tweaks to build.prop

***Now icon of usb debug will not be shown! it's working but no icon! (just useless icon!)

***Now in call volume can be changed, but if you use full screen caller id, you must set in options to close it after pickup. this app prevent use of volume keys!

***Added GPU processor activation for home screen and menu. more smoother transitions!

***Tuned the turn screen on when you remove it from ear when on call, now it's super fast!

***Tuned the ring timeout delay to 0 when you place call.

***Tuned the wifi scan in every 180 sec to save battery!

***Added new updated AD block! (hosts)

***Added DATA speed tweaks and tuned existing.

***Added database vacuum cleaner :) to reduce the DB size and memory use and add performance! (will run on each boot, after 1 minutes, so boot time will not be affected)

***Added tweak to reduce priority for internal RAM process to allow more smooth work of all the rest system services! it's was taking all the power to it self!

***Tuned RAM tweaks to increase I/O

***Tuned the EXT partition, removed the journal and added write back buffer! will increase apps performance!

***Tuned the Advanced settings for CPU ondemand!

it's now

90000

60

0

0

***uploaded new CRON tasks

Tuned the RENICE for system services and added some common apps to list.

Highly recommended to update! (version 2.1)

I have deleted the hieros 1.7.5 kernels for now, till the camera will be fixed.

i am using the 1.7.4 with bt fix and it's perfect for me.

And here is the conclusion! (OOO ****!!! :) )
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Visentinel:
Hi DM so after the failure using 16m Dalvik VM 24mb is great, I even have seem my swap use go down sometimes woohoo !. After late-night heavy use and running many apps and this morning using my phone for music and GPS the phone isn't slower than 64mb Dalvik and memory use had been so much better.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
thanks for this info.

i will reduce wright away my dalvik vm to 24 and let it run for some time.

and test, if all cool then it's will be set as standard.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] chillywillyhoe:
i upgraded to hier 1.7.5 without the bt fix and i have no problems at all, camera works, wifi has the usual weak signal but no problems, maybe its the one with the fix
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
Hey your first thanks from me! :)

good job providing that info!

i will upload only the with no BT fix, for all to test!

---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------

go for 28m

the 24m reduce the 2D performance! lower PFS!

with 28 all max again!

Edit 28 is still losing some performance

trying 38m

EDIT 2

38m = HOT BOOT!! no go!

i think it's must jump in 4mb each time!

so i am testing 36,40,44,48,.....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MystaMagoo:
It's video that has the problem,camera works ok.

@Dorimanx

Flashing 2.8.1.1 now and new cron.

I make your thanks to 1000 :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
Cool! :)

1000 thanks it's real honor! i am honored by getting so many from all of you!

Thanks, it's really mean much to me!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dublus:
Was real excited to try 2.8.1.1 but after trying it (light) my wifi no longer connects.

I'll start over and if it happens again will revert.

Thanks for the hours of effort, though!

*Edit* - Turns out it was because my wifi connection became very weak like others have mentioned. Once I moved within a few feet of the WAP it connected no problem. First time it happened to me. I will revert until it gets worked out.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kypeth:
dataswap250, safe to up levels from 250000 to 500000 instead right? on a fresh sd with no other swap.

I believe you may have already deemed this safe but I just want to reconfirm before I run the script.

Also, did you not stipulate that it's probably better for our swap to all be in one source? I had the triple swap going on for awhile, sd-extswap, swap partition of it's own and dataswap, but was wondering if I might have a more stable system if I concede to just one swap partition.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MystaMagoo:
For Me 2.8.1.1 flies.

wifi is great and phone seems a lot faster,smoother and more responsive.

I'll be trying data tomorrow at work.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Bologna:
You deserve 1000 thanks every minute for what you have done and are doing to our hd2!

Dorimanx have never tried to set a vpn with your rom?

I can't anymore...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rashidkn:

please friends try vpn pptp connection and get result here

i cannot connect in any version of dorimanx rom.:mad::(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dmunseyautotech:
duh....

Just flashed rom for the first time...after about 30 minutes I'm sittin here asking myself why I haven't broke down and tried it b4 now. Lovin it fast, smooth, and so far it all works. Thanks Dorimanx
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Pens and DreamS:
how do I bring back the stock transition animations?!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Hammerfest:
so now that about 10~ people have said they have noticed the WEAK WiFi signal issue... can you PLEASE take a look into it... I can stand across the house looking at my AP and signal indicator is RED... all my other devices 95%...

I put WinMo back on it and same thing, 95% signal strength (or in WM terms, 4 full wifi bars) return to 2.8.1... WiFi = ****...

thanks... (also 1GB Swap is monstrous... 68 programs open, 90% Swap usage, PWNAGE!!!!

also.. i hate to say it... but the FTP setup is HORRID for downloads... there is no sort by date... and sorting by name doesnt work either... such a hassle to find the latest stuff or even the right stuff... soo confusing... go go real FTP hosting...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Visentinel:
I appreciate that you have tested. the issue is balance. Performance vs enough space to prevent hot reboots or FC vs garbage buildup. If 28 doesn't work and 32 is a big step so 24 it is lol.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] letrain02:
Does CRON affect data? Because I cant change change time zone just by editing in astro. Do I have to unpack and repack or use something else? Maybe this is producing my data problems during the day, but causing my alerts to go off all nh night with emails,etc. Any thoughts?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Hammerfest:
performance vs space... ill take performance thanks... (ESPECIALLY since this concerns 2D acceleration performance... Id rather not revert to Win 3.11...)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] smuvman:
cron

i edit cron using notepad++ on my pc but u may be able to edit it on ur phone using the app called root explorer. as far as data cron shouldnt affect that at all.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] letrain02:
Well I was curious on what cron did. I know its effected by the time. So was curious if it controlled data. I did edit with root. But I had to unzip and re-zip it. But now after setting time zone right my data connection works but it could also be the fact I am on 1.7.4 and not 1.7.5.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MystaMagoo:
You can always edit the file once you have installed cron,then there's no need for unzipping and rezipping.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] piplewis:
I also do this. Much easier.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Doemer:
hi guys

since I flashed the 2.8.1.1 fix my notification led is constantly on (green) anyone has the same behaviour?

Greetz
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Howell:
Nope, not on mine.

1st boot was loooong (4mn18s) and after led stood green for an additional 3mn but turned off after blinking as usual.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Doemer:
hmm ok the light turned off as well on mine but it took about 15 minutes. :D No other issues so maybe it just needed a little more time than usually.

thx
[HD2 Android NAND Development] moti1elash:
In the mail apk was an option to select all the mails in the inbox now it isn't appears when i push the search bottom. Is it because the apk replaced? How i reten to the old apk?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rashidkn:
hi friend!!

what's this "vm heap size"???

what's recommend value???
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Hinnne:
Hi dorimanx do you use the modified (battery drain solved) email.apk mentioned earlier in System apps in your New roms or do i have to replace IT in every New Version.thank you
[HD2 Android NAND Development] brunoavrocha:
he switched to the modified one a few releases back.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
New Update!

New Update 2.8.1.2

***Added new RIL driver from tytung wifi calling pack, it's show better reception!

***Tweaked DATA and WIFI settings.

I don't have any problems with wifi signal! i can sit in my car, not far from my home and i have red/yellow reception!

all that matter that wifi not loosing connection!

***Tweaked the boot time to be faster, and fixed boot time after you clear dalvik cache, (no need to do that! only if you have problems with apps FC)

***The VM dalvim RAM stays 64MB it's the best for performance!

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

No problem with WIFI!

No Problem with FTP. (no change will be made)

[HD2 Android NAND Development] rsmex:
Hi all sorry to be a noob but do I need to configure cron or just install and leave it alone and if I'm running the high not light rom do I need swap if I've still got 53mb internal left thanks for any help and a big thanks to dorimanx for the best rom oh and if anyone ever needs to send there phone in to HTC for repair I can really recommend the repair service I just got a fully refurbished phone back with new battery and back door which r spares because they told me to send them the phone without battery and back door so result
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
you gave me direct info! you told me that all was OK in 2.7.9 so I took the google framework from it and added to new update! problem solved :D

No Signal

Hi there,

after installing the Fix 2.8.1.2 i wasn't asked for my SimLock. I cant activate my SIM. :(

Any Ideas.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Bologna:
useful reading opening posts

CROND TASKER! MODULE!

I have finally cooked the CROND task service configuration, Thanks to LIT!

I have uploaded file CRON-TASKS.zip to mirror.

Cron will start 2 minutes after Full BOOT!!!

SO HOW TO CONFIGURE IT BEFORE INSTALL!!!!

Open the zip!

in folder /system/etc/int.d

open file 08wcron with notepad ++ of EditPlus (not with notepad)

find this:

TZ=IDT-3

This is the TIME ZONE! it's important!

PUSH THIS LINK!

Find you country in that LINK!

Example!

I see for Israel

Friday, August 12, 2011 at 01:44:22 IDT

Current time zone offset:UTC/GMT +3 hours

So i need to SET! opposite! -3 (WHY? have no idea, but this is the only way)

TZ=IDT-3

Then save and install

both hieros 1.7.5 not working with video

Hi dorimanx even the hieros 1.7.5 without bt fix is not working with both camera video function.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rsmex:
Hi thanks for the help I configured cron with the info above and installed as for the swap do u think I need to bother if I've still got 53mb of internal left and is it best to partion the sd card for the phone to run at its best
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Bologna:
best is to read and read again opening post...you now have the best rom, but is the hardest to understand

partition as described there
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
bummer :'(

then we need to wait till it will be fixed.

when I will have some time I will dig in logs to see what's the problem.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
I agree, ROM is very cool, but its not for starters, sorry. I am running forward and if its hard to keepup then just read more deaply the explanations.

also not always all super, I make mistakes too...

but my great team support me and help to solve them. :D

I have discovered that one of the modules that took from Samsung Rom eat cpu with no reason.

so if all of you want to correct it, take file system_server from bin folder in 2.8.0 ROM and copy it to bin inside update 2.8.1.2

then install,

fix is

more performance + less battery drain!

I will do that in next update.

I'm using this rom for 1 week now..near a perfect one:)

Thanks a lot for this job.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Hammerfest:
WiFi signal is also weak for me as well compared to when I have it running WinMo!

I have to agree with the FTP, its really bad, If I want to find any updates or anything I have to do Ctrl+F (Find) and manually type in the string I am looking for! On any SANE FTP site you can sort by Name +/- Date and it makes finding the important files fast and easy! Then again, your file naming convention leaves much to be desired as well.

I was considering throwing up an FTP mirror as well since I have 20TB a month to burn and only manage to use >1TB for myself, but I would NOT be using your FTP format OR file naming format to do so, it just so horrible it makes me ashamed to be a long time user of your ROM (well your tweaks before the fallout and your own rom creation).
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gerardroid:
with the new update here the videorecording is working, didnt in the previous version:):)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MystaMagoo:
@Dorimanx

Can we not just copy system _server file into phone and then reboot?

Or is it necessary to insert into 2.8.1.2 and flash?

@ the ftp whiners

Put up or shut up,jeez.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Traukoman:
+ 1 I went back to HierOS 1.7.2 + 2.8.1.2 fix and videocording is working, also camera
[HD2 Android NAND Development] krook6023:
dorimanx,

If I made a update zip from the CLK files to revert to the system_server from 2.8.0 would that update zip work the same for MAG...or would the MAG update need to be specific for MAG? I am asking because I can whip up a quick fix for this and post it...but I don't want to download all the MAG stuff if I don't need to. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MystaMagoo:
Here's the light mag fix.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Hammerfest:
I seem to have encountered an ODD and RARE seeming bug!

I am on 2.8.0, I have taken out my SIM because its inactive while my new SIM is being activated. Now knowing those factors, I am on WiFi, I went into Gallery selected a picture, hit share, hit GMail, put in the info, and it said "sending" then vanished, waited 10min, no eMail in inbox, so I opened up the "Outbox" on my GMail and I can see the mail sitting in there but all it says is "Sending"

(at the time of writing this its been 30min and the file is >1MB)

Can someone else try and replicate this for me?

WITH your SIM card: Go into Gallery, select a picture, hit more then share, then GMail, send it to yourself :::: Do you get it?

WITHOUT your SIM card (WiFi): do the same, do you get it?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Belzebuth.:
I did the same for High-End MAG...;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dublus:
I haven't done your experiment but I have had the exact same behavior where an email sits forever in the "sending" mode while receiving emails without problem. The first time it happened I tried a few things and ultimately ended up redoing the whole phone.

The next time I was a little more methodical and one of the first things I did was uninstall and re-install gmail. It worked. I don't know what goes wrong or what gets messed up but I've had to do the uninstall re-install about three times now and each time it works. You don't lose anything (except maybe the email that is sending) so it can't hurt to try.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Belzebuth.:
If this doesn't work, look at your screen locker:

Agile and Ripple Lock made it too on my phone.

Just STOP your screen locker and the PIN Code screen will appear...:p

One minor issue after installed 2.8.1.2 fix: data stops working. No data signal.

I'm the only one with this issue? It was ok with 2.8.1.1.

I'm using 2.15 radio.

Besides that, this ROM is amazing.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MystaMagoo:
I've been using data all day,listening to Bassdrive and reading forum etc.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] hpawel:
I've downloaded 2.8.1.2 using 3g. After install, no data signal anymore...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Belzebuth.:
Download it again (or try our modified Fix, with "system_server" from 2.8.0) and flash it again...;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
Dude just go back to winmobile and leave us in peace.

who wants to find files in http mirror, he find, there are only like 20 files.

leave me to my work, wifi signal is a power save mode. why you need full signal close to router? -60db is all you need to use wifi.

so why waste power?

its android, a custom one, get used to it, or leave it.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] krook6023:
My guess is that the file is the same for CLK, MAG, HIGH END and Light...if so here is an update zip that will delete the file system_server from bin and replace it with the the one from 2.8.0.

mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
delete("/system/bin/system_server");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");

Tested and working on CLK High End but should work for all versions, maybe dorimanx or someone can confirm that the files are the same.

Edit: Confirmed by dorimanx...should work for ALL
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MystaMagoo:
That's exactly what I did.

Try and download 2.8.1.2 fixed above.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
all updates are good,

clk and mag updates works the same, difference in update config only for boot image, all the rest the same.

(boot needed on kernel install or full rom)

not for updates.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Hinnne:
are you sure? i tried it did not work. i installed 2.8.1.2 clk light and then 1.7.5. in video mode no freeze like before but no moving pictures with miui. and the other camera does not start.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dublus:
Apparently this breaks t-mobile wifi calling because the app never thinks the wifi signal is strong enough to allow itself to enable (unless you stand near the WAP for a minute). Up until a few days ago, wifi calling was working perfect, now at home it's fine but at work it's never enabled for lack of a strong enough signal.

Could you please let us know what to change so wifi is allowed to idle at a higher power? Your ROM is the best and I don't want to change to any other but this would be a deal breaker for me.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Visentinel:
LOL you obviously don't understand what is been discussed because you just contradicted yourself while also receding to the wrong thing as been the performance part hahaha.

The performance is gained by increasing the VM wich you quoted space vs performance part of my context, problem is increasing the VM increases space within a Dalvik virtual machine not free space in ram. Space within the virtual machine for the system wich is the balance to prevent hot reboots not adjust 2d performance or free space in ram.

2d performance has not been affected for.my phone with 24m Dalvik cache.

Windows 3.11 was based on a ms-dos kernel and Windows ran native 16bit x-86 code.

Android is based on a unix kernel and runs java Dalvik virtual machines running bytecode.

There is no common ground for a comparison here.

Anyways moving on... I have more feedback now.

This morning I had 6 New app updates. I ran them all at once and monitored my memory and swap.

My swap filled from 120mb free to 0 (lol)

after the updates completed I was amazed at what happened next...

never before has my swap then free'd up without needing to reboot, slowly over 5 minutes the swap reached 80mb free before resettling.

Amazing. 24m Dalvik FTW.

Dont change the default DM, I will change this myself along with screen DPI as my personal choice.

Powerful Rom and tweaky smart users = bound to have a few strange people like me who adjust and experiment :)

Also yesterday I used GPS twice, and in the afternoon I didn't realize my phone got so hot, but I nearly burned my fingers taking it.out of the windscreen holder, battery monitor was reporting 53 celcius !!!! Omg I nearly fried my phone =0

Also I loved your reply to the Guy to go back to winmo, I nearly fell of my chair :D

I loose the possibility to select a button in notification bar.

It was impossible to scroll the buttons list and to select an action.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Conny:
question

Hi Dorimanx,

easy question.. Do U really think EXT4 compared to EXT3 will be so HUGE improvement in speed? These file systems are nearly the same in speed I think..

So what could bring increasement up to 4 times?

I use EXT4 on my laptop with Kubuntu and I was having ones a problem whan laptop freezed and the file system after powerup was corrupted, so I hope it won't happened on system partition :) :)

Standard e-mail client not full screen

This ROM is the best a have used so far. Keep up the good work!!!!

The only problem I have since a few updates ago: the standard e-mail client is not shown in full screen (I use 169 as screen DPI).

I tried other e-mail clients (that are shown in full screen, like K-9 Mail), but was not able to configure all my e-mail clients there (I have 2 exchange clients, 1 POP3 en 1 IMAP).

Does somebody have a solution (get my old and original back to fullscreen, or an good alternative).

Thanks in advance!!!

for sdcard ext4 is faster, not much but faster.

about the overheat, you must set profile to reduce the oc to lower state when heat reach 42, then phone will be saved.

but 53! damm its hot, i set my airconditioner on phone when drive, its hot in israel, then no more then 43 with gps and full screen brightness and power plugged.
