First of all, I said that you should test the GPS without using the applications that you had problems with. Using GPS Status at least allows you to do this. You say that you think you saw GPS dropping but that it recovered. There are a number of reasons why GPS can drop but the important point is how quickly it recovers. From what you state, the GPS recovered by itself. This would imply that the GPS is ok although I would suggest you try a few times and also possibly use GPS Logger which I posted previously. Although this only plots points, it will indicate where GPS was lost by a gap in the points and time (you can save the file as a kml and then view in Google Earth). Use this on a journey you do regularly and compare results after each trip. Again, if GPS does drop but recover then I would suggest that your GPS is OK and that the problem may lie elsewhere. It is possible that Navigon is not good at "recovering" when GPS is lost and that is what you are seeing but I am only guessing. You would have to research more on Navigon and any potential problems. I will see what I can find out as well. In the meantime, do as I suggest over the next couple of days and post your results. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] atavares:
Meanwhile I searched the all forum and found other users complaining about GPS and blaming the kernel version 0.1.8 for this. I just updated mine to the version 0.2.1. Tomorrow I’ll test it and post the results. Regards.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Sorry I'm dead tired and I'm not reading all new posts now just quickly replying to this one:

GPS works very well with Tytung's RPC Libs combined with Crypted's config.

the NMEA Libs cause occasional device lock-ups. They should not be used. RPC is included in the ROM by default.

The config has to be fetched from crypted's thread (see my faq for a link).

Navigational applications and my experience: gmaps works most of the time, occasional GPS loss. Sygic Aura works almost always, Navigon select keeps losing GPS all the time, slightly better with the modded config from crypted. Have tried Copilot only once very shortly as I think it is a very ugly and bad designed app, but it was working then.

IGO works always. Have not had one single signal-drop.

[EDIT]

Regarding Navigon: although it has the best ergonomic design for driver's use, it is not designed for gingerbread. This I have read on some of their own pages. It was originally made for froyo and works well there so if I use that I don't expect it to work well and I don't blame the GPS. Listen to sandy! Check GPS without the apps!

so my installation of v3.6 got semi-corrupted on sunday night. my messages database got corrupted, causing the sms/mms app and dialer to enter a cycle of FCs. i DO have a lot of messages (10k+) but the rom DID last me about 6 weeks of smooth running (no FCs at all in that time period and stretches of 200+ hours of up time) :D

so i decided to switch immediately to v3.7 that very minute. i was done setting up and restoring my messages and my apps (always download fresh from play store) that night. whole thing took 4 hours :D

v3.7 feels GREAT! as smooth as v3.6, if not smoother.

i was hoping this update would fix my battery drain issues...it didn't :eek:

but its all good, nice and snappy rom.

and to all those facing a laggy experience, i have made several posts in this thread about my observations. long story short, i avoid laggy behavior by doing two things on EVERY reboot:

1. go into 4EXT and check/repair the sdcard FAT32 partition

2. when the lock screen comes up on reboot, KEEP THE SCREEN AWAKE until sense loads. i usually wait for the "alarm" icon to appear in the notification bar before i start using my device.

great work dan, you da man!

about MTTY APP

Hi guys!!

when the next update of the rom comes up i'm thinking about performing a hard-ass wipe to my hd2...

i've read something about MTTY that beside performing a full wipe to the phone also corrects bad blocks that exist on the unit.

after some flashing on my hd2 i got to know the bad blocks situation.

what do you guys think about the use of such app?? :confused:

looking forward to hear from you guys,

Cheers!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RCOO:
I'm actually afraid of using MTTY. I'm scared about what I might found. xD

Hi Guys and Girls I am having a problem where the market Updates my Maps and Titanium Backup to the Updated version and upon restarting it shows 2 Updates available and its the same Updates, i check and its using the old version again, Anybody else have a similar problem? Thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
This is the same exact partition I have on my recovery. Im also using the 8gb class 4 SD card. I created the SDEXT in fact I mistakenly created 2 of them:D.

I have 0 problems just a Wifi tether prob but that can be corrected using a 3rd party app. You SD card should be fine. I did make one change and that I use 4ext recovery. I converted my SD card to EXT4 and then repaired all bad blocks then I wiped everything on down. Lastly I flashed the ROM and all has been well. No problem here mate.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
You just go into the zip file, click on Parts1/apps_s and that has all the ROM apks in there. Delete at your own discretion.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
Have you checked your MD5 sum of your ROM against the link you downloaded it from. You might have a bad copy. Either that or you just need to do a whole new install. Are you coming from another ROM to this one or are you upgrading from v3.6 to v3.7??
[HD2 Android NAND Development] techguy29:
the md5 Is the same, I am using 3.7 have been using the Rom since it was released it just started doing it,

how do I convert my SD card to EXT4? btw the ROM is getting smoother now, i feel like my phone has a HDD instead of a SD card lol cause it feels like its being defrag and getting used to the ROM idk.. :D but i saw improvement

It's in the advanced menu if cwm. "Partition sd card"
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mrpierrec:
thanks...

Dan and team,

I have installed stock 3.7 on my EU HD2 and all works perfectly.

The version is stable and smooth.

For me it is smoother thant 3.5..

This ROM is perfect...

Great job team...

Definitly, with this ROM, I will keep my HD2 for a long time...

Many thanks again for the great job

is there any application that makes full back up. i mean with application cashes, mail, settingsm programs, contacts everything.! titanium back up is not a good on that manner, or at least i couldnt manage to make a full back up with it..

any sugestions..

meanwhile i am on 3.6 stock and for a month usage seems still stable and smooth. no problems.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
The ROM converts the sd-ext to EXT4. Using cwm will create an sd-ext but as EXT3. You do not need to format your sd-ext to EXT4. ;)

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

I have personally never experienced that problem. What you can do is use Titanium to clean up the Dalvik cache (settings/more). This should remove any redundant entries and advise you. You can also try Market Tools within Titanium. ;)

Could be a contact problem but never, never remove the battery if you can avoid it. You will damage the contacts. Always use the red reset button. ;)

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------

If you want to add your own apk's to the ROM before flashing then place them in /data/app. This is where you will also find any additional apks that Dan has included and which you may wish to remove. ;)

tether-hotspot

Can everybody use Tether and Hotspot?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
no, noone can. You need to use a third-party app like Barnacle Wifi Tether for that purpose. The built-in HTC Hotspot still does not work.

Unsure about the USB tether though. Never tried, but i think i read somewhere it also doesn't work natively, you might need a usb tether app for that.

TBD Sensation v3.7 Stock Colour Icon Set & Honeycomb Battery

All,

I have updated my colour icon set to version 1.4 which can be used on the TBD Stock v3.7 for all of you who like a bit of colour on Dan's Stock version. See my signature for the link and the attached for an example of the icons :D

Remember to backup your ROM before installing and enjoy :D

Whenever i listen to music and i want to change the song the lockscreen restarts itself continuously. It hardly lets me even unlock it. This happens very often. When I'm not listening to music this also happens but not as often. Does anyone else get this problem.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] SagaPer:
Try the app MyBackup Root (which is free) from Google Play (Market). I use it and it takes care of most of your needs. And; you have to copy the backup-catalogues from your SD card to your computer now and then...

strange behavior

when I rotate my phone, the display is not rotated.

I have tested using Dolphin browser, galerie to display picture and always the same behavior: display is not rotated.

I check quicksetting in notification menu and auto-rotate is checked. I unchecked it and check it again but still same behavior.

Anyone having the same behavior.

Note: I perform a complete install for 3.7. Before 3.7, I was running 3.5 and rotation was working.

Any help welcome.

@ mrpierrec

I had the same a few days ago. Try a restart... It makes sometimes wonders :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ccbm3:
No one gets this problem? Then is there something that can be do
[HD2 Android NAND Development] OwenHD2:
i followed these instructions, idk which one is for the ROM (still a noob lol)

Tmobile Configuration:

recovery = 7 MB

misc = 1 MB

boot = 5 MB

system =277 MB

cache =7 MB

Then Important select COMMIT and yes to confirm then phone will reboot then select recovery!

Then select recovery it will reboot into CWR or hold the home button down for the recovery !

Then for Tmobile "optional sd ext" create the sd ext of minimum 1024mb then transfer ROM to sd card then install zip from sd card!

Hey guys, I have tested new marc kernel 0.2.1 with 3.7 TBD stock and unfortunately i had to go back to 0.2.0. My phone had few freezes and I had to remove battery to do a restart. I'm using small OC to 1.2Ghz only and have no problem on previous kernel. Is anyone else experiencing similar thing ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mrpierrec:
I retart phone and problem is fixed..Thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] siakhan:
I didn't have any problem since i had installed the 3.7.

But from yesterday,my screen turn on and turns off every 1-5 minute!!!

i thought maybe it's some apps i have installed recently,i uninstalled them.but the problem remains!!! do u have any idea what it is?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
1113600 Hz used to be the highest possible oc, yet idk about the newer kernel. I have the 0.2.1 running with 1344000 Hz now for testing purposes and it seems rock stable since two days under various conditions, also high load.

Still, your freezes might well be due to your oc as it's a known fact that the CPU's in the HD2 vary greatly in their oc-capabilities. There's quite a few devices out there that cannot well be overclocked.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Maybe your instal is corrupted. With issues like that, I tend to reflash and setup the ROM a few times to see where it comes from. Only when it occurs after each flash and right from the beginning, before you add anything of your own stuff or remove anything I would come and ask here.

If you had removed some apps which you installed before it is highly advisable to also clean both caches (app-cache and Dalvik) do the phone had to rebuild it under the new, changed conditions. If this odd behaviour remains, reflash and check again. This time, pay attention to when it starts happening and what you did prior to that.

I am currently sitting at the doctor's, waiting for one of my clients and I am shocked to notice extremely high battery drain while using a very solid 3G signal here. I have everything that affects battery condition set to as low as possible but the battery went down 10% within 20 minutes...

[EDIT]

Possibly the high OC is using up so much juice, the CPU seems not to scale down while only using Tapatalk. It looks like running on max while typing...

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cheech1976:
It makes a difference which of both you plug in first, the phone or the pc.

F.E. if i plug the cable in the pc and after that in the phone, my pc doesn´t set the connection up as USB 2.0 but USB 1.1.

Don´t ask me why, but i had that problem and found out, that the first thing to plug in is the phone itself and after that the pc.

If you didn´t do it that way already, you might try it, maybe it´ll work.

And to your response about being silly or not, sometimes the biggest problem has the tiniest cause, so there is no harm is asking if you did that or not, i don´t think Gabriel implied you being silly.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] dipaolnv:
Just so you know, I've had a couple of issues with this where the phone seems to disconnect itself. I think it may be due to worn/cheap usb cables, so this may be part of your issue. Honestly you may be better off getting a cheap USB SD adapter and taking the SD card out of the phone. I've found this to be faster and more reliable every time I've done it.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] chrisrj28:
Let me know if it works for you, didn't for me.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Nemesis1278:
Blurry mms is just because tmous needs to see a tmous phone in order to recieve non blurry mms. On cm7 this option can be changed in your message settings. In sense this has to be changed in the system/customize/DNS/default.xml file. As you can see it states my phone is a mytouch but am running runnymede.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] chrisrj28:
Interesting, I was under the impression that it had to do with the xml strings in Mms.apk. I know this has always been a problem with Tmo and MMS, having to trick Tmo into thinking it's coming on an "approved" device. Will try that now and see

**Looked and I don't have DNS under system/customize?

copy ROM and CLK kernel to sd-card

hd2 toolkit should do the trick, just pick a size that 250 M or larger say 260,

[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Sneaky, I agree, by overclocking, you do suffer from heavy battery use. I have pushed mine to the limit and found this to be the case. Since moving dalvik to NAND, I have stopped overclocking and can say that I can't see a difference as far as speed and smoothness is concerned. As I am a heavy user, it also helps with battery life no end. :D

Bottom line is that by moving dalvik to NAND, not only do you reduce the hit on the SD Card but you also gain from not needing to overclock. ;)

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

I have never had a problem with SMS but assuming that everything else is OK, all I can only suggest is that you delete Dalvik Cache (you will have to use Total Commander to do this as it resides on the sd-ext by default) and reboot into CWM. Then clear the cache and reboot. This may help, assuming your problem is not network related. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] zboq:
Yes You are right, but my HD2 oveclocks to 1.4GHz without problem. Normally I use 1.2GHz because phone doesn't get to hot under high load and it's quite fast at it. Also I have used TBD since 3.5 with marc 0.1.8 to 0.2.0 with that speed and never had single freeze. I don't even play games. It just freezes with normal use (browsing with opera, watching a movie)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
I still feel like noob sometimes even though I've been doing this for 2 years now.

All that looks good OwenHD2. You did everything I did and used the same partition I'm using now. Only difference is I don't have a single problem (knocks on wood). In fact it was recommended that I change my partition in the future to make more room by using 7/156/7. I will in the future but I have this ROM purring and the battery life is great. It uses 1ma per hour in standby. I would say check MD5 if that is good then scrap it all and redo everything. Yes, it's a pain in the arse but man this themed ROM is extremely worth it.

---------- Post added at 06:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 AM ----------

As you can see from my sig what I use. I keep mine at 1.15mhz and sleep at 384mhz and have only experienced 1 freeze in 5 weeks. That happened I gather from my phone being 116 degrees fahrenheit and having a lot of apps running in the background. Since then I leave auto sync off, weather update to manual, auto update off. Check your update and sync settings. That can freeze any phone fast.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
I would certainly highly recommend that the partition be changed to what mentalityx is recommending given that you have an sd-ext. You are effectively using the EU structure which means that dalvik cache and all apps are on the sd-ext. What you can both do in the meantime is to use Brush2's DalvikMover to move dalvik back to NAND which will reduce sd read/writes and should make the phone even smoother. ;)
