I simply remove those from the ROM zip file before doing anything with it. I also remove (not recommended for everyone) cmstats.apk, dspmanager.apk, email.apk, gallery3d.apk, livewallpapers.apk, mms.apk, talk.apk and a few others which I do not use or replace with other choices. :eek:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] walts:
Yes, that is what I did also.... forgot to mention it in my previous post. :eek:

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

So, you can just add/delete .apk files from the zip before flashing? There's no checking of the integrity of the zip during the flash process?

Walt
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NYLimited:
Correct. When I download any ROM I add "_ORIGINAL" to the file name and never change it. I make a copy and use WinZip to remove whatever files I do not want or have replaced (e.g. I replace the calculator, the email, the SMS program, etc.). I save this file with the word "_TRIMMED" in the name. Last, I make a 3rd zip (a mod of the second one) where I also replace the A2SD script with my choice (the Alex-v mod of Amarullz alpha01). The second zip can be used for a clean install and the 3rd for an update. Haven't had a problem with them yet.

If you want to get truly fancy, you can add an apk to the zip and it will be installed into the /system partition. I place Chainfire's SuperSU and the SuperSUPro key there, for example. Sneaky, if you asked me. :)

By the way, you probably know already but a lot of these apps do not use their own code for the ads. When I disable the ads I find several apps which now display a message in red at the bottom as a result of my change. Note that the message is identical so all those apps, obviously, use the very same code.

I wonder what would happen if I simply removed "AdActivity" from AndroidManifest.xml.. Would it "break" all apps that use that ad engine? Never mind - that will not work since

AndroidManifest.xml

must be present in each application. As a result, they'd each have to modified, one by one, kind of defeating the purpose. :(

[HD2 Android NAND Development] famewolf:
I'm just curious....out of all the one's treating Tytung as an employee who isn't entitled to spend time with his family how many of you have donated to support his work? Realistically either be patient or try one of the alternatives like IceCreamTosti if you can't stand it but trying to push the Dev is not going to motivate him to want to rush things.

on the main page you can find several roms to flash if you get bored

[HD2 Android NAND Development] MarkAtHome:
Removing from the ROM before flashing is a more elegant solution.

I added to it when Tytung chose to omit File Manager and Market failed for me - I am surprised that I didn't go the next step.

Thanks for reminding me.

921 Error

I also have an ''could not be downloaded due to an error (921)'' problem with my HD2 when trying to download apps or update installed apps in Google play/market.

This has only occurred since Google Market was upgraded to Google Play last week.

Even tried to install via the online market. Market says it will be downloaded but the apk never arrives on my HD2!

So far I've tried:

Clearing the Google Play cache and Google Framework cache

Clearing the Dalvik cache

Fix Permissions

Deleting the Android Folder on the SD card after copy the contents

Updating the ROM from 1.4 to 1.5.

No joy.....the problem still exists

Any ideas?

Lockscreen controls for Beyond Pod and PlayerPro

I already asked this, but didn't get a usable answer.

In version 1.3 i got player controls on the lockscreen for stock music player, Beyond Pod and PlayerPro. When flashing v1.5, it disappeared for everything but the stock player. Someone mentioned the player has been changed, so no more controls for my music apps.

I wiped everything and reinstalled v1.3. No controls anymore, i tried v1.4 - nothing.

I tried other ICS roms and still i don't have any controls.

Isearched every option in all the roms, checked the settings of the apps and found nothing, besides the lockscreen add-ons of the apps, but these just don't integrate as nice into the ICS-lockscreen. Does anyone have an idea, what i might have changed or what i might have installed, but forgot about?

I'd really like to get a solution for this.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DJDrew:
Hmmm I seem to have an issue where everthing 'has stopped' when I boot up?

EDIT: It seemed to do this with 300MB partition size. I've changed it down to 250MB but for some reason it is showing up as 116MB internal storage? Any ideas what is causing it?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ppzoid:
The 116mb should be what is left after flashing the rom. If you need more space you have to either use app2sd (or a similar app) or check the A2SD thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1454962

Btw, 170mb should suffice as stated in the first post.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DJDrew:
Ok thanks I'll change it to 170MB.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ppzoid:
I'm using 5mb and it works fine.

But keep in mind when using 170mb or more, that you have little space left for apps, so you should check out the before mentioned thread and keep to one of the installation guides mentioned there. I'm using the first one: 40ad2sdx-a2Recovery.zip
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dubhaltach:
That must be your cache partition size which doesn't matter as much as the system size does.

Hmm... I had these without changing anything but I did see a setting for it somewhere.. well theres Settings>Interface>Lockscreen>Volume Music Controls and in music... Settings>Customisation>Lock Screen Controls

Hope I helped :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ppzoid:
I thought i had read something about what size the cache should be, too... weird.

Thanks for trying to help, but that is not my problem, at least i think so ;)

As mentioned i have the controls for the built-in player, but what i want and i know i had it, is to have the lockscreen controls for Beyond Pod and PlayerPro. It drives me nuts, not to find the switch to or even get the idea, why it worked in v1.3.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dubhaltach:
Yeah I think it has to be 2 mb or something, but most CWM rom's come with 10 and it doesn't make any difference *for me anyway*.... I'm sure it is important nevertheless!

WHoops, sorry about that by the way for the lockscreen controls, I need to start reading properly, especially after getting used to the same questions.. I thought yours was what everyone else was asking. It's weird that you're having the problem.. since it came from 1.4 onwards you'd think it had something to do with MeDroid BUT lockscreen controls work for custom apps like TuneIn for me :confused: I'm lost so!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ppzoid:
No problem at all. I'll try TuneIn in order to check out whether i have lockscreen controls.

Edit: I just installed TuneIn and i have lockscreen controls. I really don't get it.

I m using old gingerbread on my HD2 right now and I was thinking of upgrading and I read in the faqs that this rom runs slower than ginger bread? Is there any update that runs faster?

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_HD2/NexusHD2_ICS_CM9_FAQ
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mjordan79:
No. It's really slower. In every area you could imagine.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DJDrew:
That's what I thought unfortunately :( Is it likely to improve?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dubhaltach:
That would certainly make it sound like its a problem with the apps... Although if there are two of them..... Did you try fixing permissions? If the uid are misaligned it could cause that *maybe*. It might explain why a newly installed app was working. Worth a shot anyway!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ppzoid:
I tried fixing permissions, to install after reflashing, to restore with Titanium Backup with and without data and finally flashed v1.5 with Trebuchet launcher replaced with ICS launcher from beta 10. None of these options worked. I even wiped everything with task29. Guess what. Didn't work.

Does anyone using BeyondPod and/or PlayerPro have the same behavior.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] meezo:
Anyone have an issue with in call sound, starting to think its hardware related! :confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mjordan79:
Yes, improvements are in the air. But I'm pessimistic, for various reasons.

First of all, tytung seems the only kernel developer who actively maintain a kernel for the HD2 (not just recompiling or applying tweaks, I mean he add new code). Every other ROM is based on his kernel so the community doesn't seem to be that big (or particularly capable) around the HD2. Chefs are not developers and the HD2, actually, need developers, not chefs. This is one of the reasons you won't find many ICS roms.

Second, Medroid seems to be dead. Third, hardware acceleration is in bad shape. I guess we won't see anything anytime soon. Fourh, a2sd scripts work, if correctly installed, but are deadly slow.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] samthu:
I have been using ICS for the last 3 months as my daily, and runs goods (better than GB) for me, other than the HWA which mainly affects the camcorder & some games. I came to find out that if you read the thread and the Faq, you will learn a lot about the rom and you will have a smooth run as you go about installing.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] DJDrew:
I'm thinking of going back to ginger bread to be honest. The pattern unlock even seems to be a bit laggy.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mjordan79:
The FAQ clearly say this ROM is slower and under-developed compared to the gingerbread one. It can't be faster "for you". We're running the same phone. Sure, if you install only 10 apps without any a2sd scripts, maybe it runs decently. Note that decently doesn't mean faster than gingerbread.

Ad Blocking Host File exported to Zip

Is there anyway to get the host file used to black ads exported to zip so i can install it on GB3.2a ROM I am using?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ppzoid:
Couldn't you just save it and paste it to your flashed rom? You need Root explorer or something similar to paste it, in order to make the hosts file (over-)writable on your GB rom.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] XaMaB:
Or you can just use adfree from market

Hey folks ,

so im running this Rom for quite some time, recently the status bar clock seems to freeze randomly, has anyone the same problem?

im not quite sure what causes this but it is how should i put it , a bit inconvenient.

im running the v1.5 rom, i tried the search function, but it didn't help, just somebody on page 364 mentioned the same issue.

any sugestions?

Greetz

Edit:

Seems like relocating the clock updates the time but it stays stuck on that too ...

Only a Reboot fixes the issues .. temporarily, until the next freeze
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Ambious:
We don't 'think', we've observed. In ALL ICS Roms since ICS started appearing (and not only in HD2, btw - it's glocal to ICS all across), using an A2SD script and moving dalvik to anywhere but internal memory causes low volume issue - it's 100% confirmed.

The solution however is not - sometimes fix permissions solves it, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it's as arbitrary as rebooting X times, nobody seems to have a rock-solid solution, but the problem is 100% eminent.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] uzi2:
I don't have the issue and I don't need to run fix-permissions. This script has worked without problem on all ROMS I have tried apart from an early beta ICS and that was fixed by loading tytung's kernel.

I think people who claim this script breaks their sound or wi-fi need to look elsewhere for the cause.

You better start revising your 100% downwards.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bobjbain:
Which script? Darktremor's, Amarullz's, your own, another one??

OK, not totally scientific, but I have installed ICS from scratch 3 times.

Each time sound was great, I played around a bit and then installed one of the app2sd scrips and, *BANG*, the sound was gone!

fix-premissions and it is fine again!

Clear the dalvik and it has gone again!

So, in our best no **** Sherlock moments we put 2&2 together!

So, the question is, what does *YOUR* script do differently??
[HD2 Android NAND Development] uzi2:
Nothing. It is Amarullz' edited to move everything to sd-ext4

The only difference in the way we have done things is that I have added the script to the ROM before installing it.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Ambious:
In my experience (and I've toyed around with it ALOT) that will almost always if not eliminate the issue, make it much more solvable.

I still, however, encounter the low volume issue AT LEAST at first boot after wipe (not that 'upgrading' roms seems to 'override' the issue and 'fix' it in place, sometimes).
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bobjbain:
OK, I use amarullz's A1 script as I read that people were having problem with the A2 script and ICS (home button not working etc) so I didn't want to take the risk.

I might try it your way see what happens, I was going to when I originally installed the ROM but I forgotted (old age and all that).

I wonder at what stage in the boot process the Dalvik cache is created, is it before or after the 40a2sd (or whatever it is called) is run! Maybe it is the order of things that is causing the problems!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] w0nder:
Thanks for Info.

Nice everthing is just fine then
[HD2 Android NAND Development] uzi2:
The home button works fine. Everything works. I can see that including the script in the ROM overcomes any need to fix permissions. As you suggest, if the script is run before the dalvik-cahe is created, it will not have to be moved.

One more point that may be relevant, is that I never wipe the dalvik-cache when updating a ROM.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Ambious:

I get best results when pre-integrating script with rom, which is very easy to do (just pop open the script flashable zip, and copy the single file in there to the corresponding directory in the ROM Zip before flashing).

How I could do it ....

I was using NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.2a for a long time and wanted to try the ICS with NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich Beta10.Then I saw this ROM and went for it...

I backed up my GB and all contents on the SD card,used a new test SD card for these new ROMs.

I went like this...

Apply : the DAF with recovery_5.0.2.7_leo_CWR - 205/5 system partition (Attached) - will wipe all phone data ,you can skip if already have CWM or dont want to upgrade CWM.

Boot CWM/advanced and create ext partition in SD card - for A2SD (512 or 1GB as required) - will wipe all SD contents ; backup if required.

Wipe Data/Factory Reset in CWM

USB mount from CWM

Copy NexusHD2-ICS-CM9_V1.zip to SD card (remove or add any app to zip/system/app if want) - ROM

copy 40ad2sdx-a2Recovery.zip - A2SD

copy softkey_mod_tytung_cm9_v1.0_cwr.zip - softkey/multi utility :)

Flash the ROM from CWM

Reboot to system and make setup -skip google signin

Reboot to CWM

Flash A2SD

with out rebooting , fix permissions in CWM / advanced

Reboot - if looping in boot animation , remove battery and reboot again.If nothing works , Wipe Data/Factory Reset and flash ROM and A2SD again - follow the same procedure above.

do google account sign in and any other as required , check storage for A2SD space

Reboot to CWM and flash softkey

Reboot !.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Ambious:
Btw, anyone got a working battery % mod?

UOT still doesn't support ICS, and for good reason - it would appear that ICS takes its resources from SystemUI.apk rather than Framework-res.apk.

I tried taking a SystemUI.apk file from another device (where they have battery % mod already), decompile, extract only the battery files and put them in this rom's SystemUI.apk (after recompiling of course), but it didn't work - the new resources just wouldn't load and I had no status bar.

Anyone had any better progress?

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Ambious:
Preingerating the A2SD script to the ROM seems (in my case) to break WiFi and Power Menu toggles, and any subsequent boot goes into bootloop.

In the meantime I recant and suggest people don't preintegrate A2SD to the ROM (at least not 40ad2sdx-a2Recovery which is what I tried. I'll try other alternatives and report back :-D)
