I also had link2sd problems when upgrading from 2.3 to 2.4

I integrated the link2sd script from my 2.3 install into the ZIP-File of the 2.4 version.

Then cleaned dalvik and flashed the 2.4 over the 2.3

But i got force closes, many programms not starting, couln´t start link2sd...

So i had to do a fresh install from scratch. Now all is running again with 2.4 and link2sd - but i have to install all my apps again. Don´t know how to backup all my apps and settings from old version. But thats no big problem. So i now have a fresh installed device.

Would be nice, if someone could help me and tell me where i made the error? Is only copy the link2sd-script to the new install file not the right way?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] vasil.domuschiev:
For backing up use MyBackupRoot. Its a very simple and friendly program.

After upgrade from 2.3 to 2.4 you should have to Recreate mounting scripts after first reboot.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Jeebos:
In 2.4 there is the option in the notificationdrawer to change the buttons (wifi, gps, bluetooth, etc). So i select some, change the order. But it doesn't change.

What do i miss?

MTP

Terrific ROM!!!.......many thanks from my wife

Would like to know if there is an MTP applicatication that i can install, ie, when i connect the HD2 to a PC that it will open up the HD2 file manager instantly without having to press additional buttons/menus?

Hi tytung,

I can confirm that bt drain is fixed. I'm going to test it all day.

Also, sometimes opera closes (no force close shutdowns immediately). If i can find anything on logcat i will paste here.

Again, thank you.

I've wipe dalvik cache and flash the 2.4 this afternoon with lots of unexpectedly quit prompt. I decided to clean wiped it and reinstall the whole ROM again. It was ok for the first few hours then now i receive "unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped". it prompt like every 15sec and terminate everything I'm on so my phone is basically not usable now. i thought of clean wipe and re install the ROM again later on. Just wanna confirm the steps to make sure i flash it the right way.

1. wipe task29 with HD2 Toolkit

2. re install magldr then flash recovery with system ya 200M cache ya 10M

3. partition the sd card 1024M/256M

4. install rom from CWM

Am I doing it right?

Is there a way to increase Font size within the ROM ?

or is there a specific apk that i can install in this ROM?

Upgraded from 2.2 > 2.4 today. Increase in speed is obvious, nice work!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] maneken25:
you don need so big cache size, 5mb is enough.

ext partition put atleast 500mb.

check your sdcard for errors, use cmd chkdsk command on windows. use latest cwm for hd2.

try this time not to use any ext scripts instead try link2sd app.

redownload rom zip file and dont use any download acceleration program.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dominicpcl:
Meaning I need to partition my SD card with 1024M / and swap larger than 500M?

sorry for my noobness, what do you mean by link2sd app? Is this 1 of the flashing ROM process I miss out?

Earlier you mentioned Task29 - not needed.

Your partitions are fine. You can reduce the 200 MB system a little if you want to but it should not do any harm.

You do not need the 256M swap partition - this ROM does not use/need it.

How did you format the 1024 partition on the card? Did you use ext4? What is your intended purpose for it? This ROM will not use it without additional steps. I would suggest you install nothing but the ROM first, boot it and make sure all is working before moving on to additional steps.

If you do decide to make use of the sd-ext partition there are various ways to accomplish that.

This thread

has a lot of information about this topic. My own way of using the ext partition - which may not work for everyone - is posted

here

Check your settings again. I have no problems with BT connecting to the car and maintaining the connection for hours.

Hello Tytung

I've recently updated to 2.4 from 2.2 and now I have an issue with led - not a major one, but still. While charging it is always red. Even when charging is done, it stays red.

But I must notice that fast charging is really a great thing, and if it is fast charging that causes led problem - then it's totally worth it :)

I still have the problem that after a clean install Google Play Store crashes. All other apps and functions works fine. Only Google Play Store strikes.

I can install it with Droid Explorer and then the store works, but after a restart I get the message again "Play store crashed".

I tried to fix permissions, did many re-installs, but nothing helps really.

The issue is in version 2.1-2.4.

Anybody has an idea and can help?

I use magldr (200/5) and ad2sd script (1024/0). (Without ad2sd I get the same issue.)

Edit:

Here is a log entry from aLogcat: http://pastebin.com/thkrdKzH

Could that be a reason?

Dear tytung,

thank you for this great update! I am so glad you added fast charge, this makes the phone much more usable!!!

Two thinks are missing before I'd call the rom better than you GB roms: Facebook support (what's the problem here from the technical point of view? With 2.1- it was working fine) and getting rid of the looong delay when starting some system apps (e.g. telephone).

Battery Life with 2.4?

Is anyone experiencing diminished battery life with 2.4?

On 2.3 with tytung's kernel 20120623_08_41 I was getting to 60% after 12 hours of "Typical" use. My usage doesn't vary much from day to day - almost no phone calls, a few text messages, and reading feeds from the Interent for about 1/2 hour in the morning and again in the afternoon. Pretty consistent from day to day. With 2.4, in the same 12 hours I have been below 40% for two days running. Based on the graphs from Battery Snap, it looks like most of the discharge is during the times I am using WIFI.

I'm about to flash back to the 2.3 configuration for a couple of days to see if it goes back to what I was experiencing before.

I wonder if the "Fast Charging" routine has any effect, or if the WIFI configuration has been changed in any way.

I don't have a cellular data provider, and it is turned off in Settings, so any programs that need Internet access must do so with WIFI; I have WIFI turned off when the HD2 is sleeping.

More to come as I learn more.....

[HD2 Android NAND Development] arizmin:
2 days running now, battery life is not a problem for me, with clean install (start w Task29 and reformat SD), 97% before sleep midnite, at 7am down to 92%, day average use with ~30 SMS, 30mins talk time, surf ~30mins, 3G always ON, still at 40% by 7pm.. not bad at all...

@walts

Maybe some of your sync settings have changed.

Have a look at all the apps you have on your phone that do some sort of syncing with the internet. Some Apps do that like every 15minutes as standard setup. With a couple of those running your phone will never really go into standby an therefore drain your battery pretty fast.

What are the settings of your wifi concerning phone standby? Does it switch off or stay active all the time?

Use the app current widget and check how high the drain is when you turn on your screen. That way you can see if something is draining your phone during standby

Hey guys,

I have an issue. My display turns on in my pocket, and so the battery drains very fast. Sometimes it´s also in the emergency call dailing pad.

Always get the message "Google Play Store has stopped unexpectedly" and this in each version (2.0,2.1,2.2,2.3,2.4).

I really don't have an answer for this. From the log I only have this info:

E( 1446) Dex cache directory isn't writable: /data/dalvik-cache (dalvikvm)
I( 1446) Unable to open or create cache for /system/app/Vending.apk (/data/dalvik-cache/system@app@Vending.apk@classes.dex) (dalvikvm)

[HD2 Android NAND Development] walts:
WIFI is set to "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep - Only when plugged in."

Typically on wake-up, it is running 3-4 Ma. which is reasonable and consistent with past experience.

Those apps that I can change, I have set to Manual Sync.

In Settings/Accounts & sync/ the only choice for auto-sync is on or off; I don't see an option to change the time interval.

With all of that said, the excess battery drain seems to happen while I am

actively

using the Internet - reading blogs, surfing the web and so on. I deduce that by looking at the battery charge % graph, and comparing the steepness of the graph with what I know I was generally doing at the time.

I have used Current Widget to log applications, but the log file is very difficult to parse, in that it simply lists all the apps that are running at the time the snapshot is taken. You would need to compare each reading with its neighbor and look at which apps started/stopped running to get an idea of which is the culprit, and even that won't tell you if a given app increased or decreased its current draw.

Walt
[HD2 Android NAND Development] The BLION Corp.:
It's not really the good topic to discuss about that issue as it's related to A2SD.

From my own experience, the bugs appears depending on the way you move dalvik-cache to sd-card.

If the A2SD script creates a symbolic link (ln -s), you will face several issues, ringtone volume, and so on.

If the A2SD script uses soft mount (mount --bind), it won't create any issues.

That means that we need to dig into the script to know if an A2SD script will work or not on our HD2... or try it blindly.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] moav:
That's quite the opposite of what I always believed, how did you trim down this ROM ? Or better yet, can you post a link for me ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] shamez23:
@walts

Weird. What about screen brightness? Since you think the draining is happening during use of the phone the screen would be one of the things that uses the most energy.

Have you experimented with different cpu (frequency, governor) settings?

Some people think the fast charge option is messing with the battery. I have no idea what that fast charge thing does exactly but I will keep an eye on further development in that area.

My HD2 seems to run OK so far, concerning drain.

With the switch from my old, trusted Gingerbread ROM I noticed that my phone was getting quite a bit warmer with the ICS ROM. Battery life however didn't change. After

updating to the latest build yesterday temperature is back to normal.

After only one full charge so far I can't say if battery life is OK or not. It seems to be.

I remember reading that during updates the battery stats file can get messed up and that you should wipe that file if battery life takes an unexpected and unexplainable dive. Maybe you could try that.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] marc1706:
Fast charging only allows your phone to charge with more than 500mA on USB ports, so your phone tries to charge the same way it would charge on the normal AC charger. While charging the current will slowly decrease until it reaches 0 mA at 100%.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] shamez23:
I'm quite happy with the link2sd app that is mentioned in the first post.

Works like a charm.

The ability to freeze unwanted apps is a nice bonus.

Didn't work so well with updating the build though. Had to factory reset but that may be just me.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Nigeldg:
It's quite easy to trim the ROM down. If you have the ROM downloaded to your PC, just use 7Zip or WinZip to unzip the ROM. There are loads of things which can be deleted to cut the ROM size down. The best places are in /system/app and /system/media, where you can find unnecessary apps (e.g. Google Talk, some live wallpapers) and ringtones/alarms/notification sounds which you never use. You can then reduce your system partition by however much you cut the ROM down by before flashing. I did this so that I didn't have to change the partition size between v2.1 and v2.2. If you plan on doing the same, don't forget to cut it down each time before you flash.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Evil_enc:
What are you using now? Link2sd?
