could that be due to 256 data added? I do not use included one as it is too large for me.

By the way, it boots well with 2.1 init
[HD2 Android SD Development] tytung:
I just tried it.

Add new event using PC browser.

Then open calendar app in the Android.

New event is there.

So calendar sync works well for me.

anyone working this rom without swapping any files or sth? Just unpacking 7z and copying on SD?

ver 2.1 its last version which working correctly.

Maybe i do it wrong? In folder named Android have all unpacking files from ICS folder. Booting from MAGLDR menu

Its the same procedure like other roms - its very simple.

@clio94 and I , didnt make it clear . This build and the previous one canot download our existing calendar data from our google account while we see our contacts ...

is something wrong with the calendar.apk :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] cerial23:
I also have this strange calendar-sync issue here.

On 2.1, everything was ok; the problem started with 2.2 and is still present in 2.3.

I tried everything, from cleaning the dalvik-cache, removing the data for the calendar, completely removing and re-adding the Google-account from the device (though I have the problem with 2 different Google-account) to seemingly desperate things like adding "GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk" to "/system/app/" (I noticed that this apk is missing, is this right - or has the functionaly been moved to another apk?).

Everything else from these Google-accounts sync perfectly.

I also noticed that it doesn't even try to sync - even the Calendar-sync-service name is missing, as you may see in the following screenshot. Only com.android.calendar is being displayed (and no, this isn't a side-effect of the possibly superfluous "GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk").

hxxp://img840.imageshack.us/img840/6113/screenshot2012061100544.png

(Couldn't embed the picture properly, no 10 posts yet...sorry for that)

Didn't try a logcat yet, though.

Any ideas about this? I really need the calendar working... :/

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------

I also had these issues, but I found a way to have a perfectly smooth system (at least these steps perfectly worked for me, it never was faster than this!):

* In System/Developer-Settings, limit the background-processes to a maximum of 2 (you have to do this after every boot, didn't find a way to automatically set this after rebooting)

* In System/Performance/Processor, choose the SmartAssV2 CPU-Guard (I configured min. 245Mhz to max. 998Mhz and checked the checkbox) <- I think this also could be the default guard and settings? Not 100% sure right now.

* In System/Memory Management, set zRam to 18% (default, but wasn't chosen here by default), also check the 2 other options here (free resources and KSM)

* Install "ROM Toolbox Lite" from the market, and set the Kernel-IO-Scheduler to "noop" and check the "set on boot" checkbox there.

This way I really get a perfectly fast and smooth system, no more hangs or FCs now!

Thank you tytung!

Stupid question... did you extracted data.ext4 from archive?
[HD2 Android SD Development] rr02:
Many Thanks! 2.3 works beautifully. I copied the files and used the data.img from 2.1. Works really well, is really fast and responsive. The best I've seen so far!

The only problem which I have seen (from earlier builds as well) is that the first time I launch an application, there is a lag of atleast 15-20 secs. I presume this is the time taken to load the app from the sd card. Is there any way to speed this up?

I also got a new Class 10 card, tried to format it with 32gb and 64gb cluster size, but the effect is the same. Any pointers?
[HD2 Android SD Development] tytung:
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk is not included in v2.0, v2.1, v2.2, and v2.3.

If v2.1 works for you, there's no reason that GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk is required.

I/ActivityManager(154): Start proc com.google.android.calendar for service com.google.android.calendar/com.google.android.syncadapters.calendar.[B]CalendarSyncAdapterService[/B]: pid=2846 uid=10056 gids={3003}

CalendarSyncAdapterService is included in CalendarGoogle.apk.

CalendarGoogle.apk and CalendarProvider.apk in all v2.x ROM are from the stock Nexus S 4.0.4 and are never been changed.

They are not from CM9.
[HD2 Android SD Development] tytung:
I still don't understand.
[HD2 Android SD Development] tytung:
Calendar.apk

and CalendarProvider.apk in your downloaded file are AOSP/CM9 ones.

That's why it needs GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk.

But it's not my case that I included

CalendarGoogle.apk

and CalendarProvider.apk from stock Nexus S 4.0.4.

No idea so far because I don't have calendar sync issue.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mahir555:
excuse me ..

... am sorry to see this comment from u .. i did extract the data from its zip.. and i was intending to apologize for the developer now.. but i cant believe that you said " stupid " on my question!! we are al learning here .. we have to respect each other please ..

I've tried all these setting but still kindda laggy. When I press the application button bottom center it takes 3 sec before the applications page shows up.

What other things can I try to get it moving quicker.

I've also switched to performance option from CPU governor.

Thanks for your help.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ChitownWingMan:
2.x builds slow and laggy

I have also experienced the slow down problem with all of the 2.x builds.

Even with nearly 200 mb RAM free I still have this problem. It can be so bad that installing apps from the market or titanium backup will time out due to the slowness.

I created a 512MB swap partition on the SD card but I don't know how to get this build to use it. I have tried all of the cpu, memory and kernel tweaks mentioned here and many not mentioned here.

Has anyone had any success installing the dorimanx kernel with this build? If so, how do I install it?

Any and all ideas would be gratefully appreciated,

Thanks...
[HD2 Android SD Development] lord revan:
sorry guys i have a problem how i can install this rom? i have the v2.1 version please help me is an update or not?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ChitownWingMan:
Unzip the .7z file into the ICS directory on your SD card. If you are starting from Windows run clrcad and then haret.

If you are using magldr, configure magldr to boot from the sd card ICS directory and then select boot AD from SD.

Your SD card ICS directory should look like this:

sdcard/ICS/

clrcad.exe

haret.exe

system.ext4

data.ext4 (this may not exist if you are doing a fresh install and then will be created by haret)

initrd.gz

startup.txt

zImage

I hope this helps.

I just falshed this rom and its fast.

2 questions though:

i can't add a contact to favorite, when i press of the star it's not adding it to the favorite list

when charging, the light is green and the battery is not full...is this normal?

the rom is very stable and fast, still in the beginning of testing thouhg

Super work from Tytung....:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] WeissenbornC:
My HD2 keeps rebooting with this rom. I unzipped it into the ICS\ folder and when I run clrcat and then haret, I see the green HTC logo for a short time and then it reboots to WM. Donwloaded it twice from different Locations in tytungs startpost. SD Card was formatted before I copied the files.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Dr.Jamil:
Unzip the data image file inside the ICS folder and then reboot:)

Great rom, great work on the best Android sytem I've seen. It's near to be perfect if lag problems are solved.

Running V.2.3 from the first day and, apart from lags, the only problem for me is A2DP (bluetooth play controls in headset) not working. Is somebody getting it working? Or not, like me?

Thanks tytung.

[HD2 Android SD Development] BBCreativo:
Maybe I´m a dumbass, but i dont get Android running. I´ve formatted a 4GB SD Card, put the complete ICS and the mysterious SD_Boot file on it. Then I started clrcad than haret. I see a very little typing on screen, than HTC Logo becomes green, than the device does a reset...

What am I doing wrong?!

Whats about the battery life? Mine is less than 24h. Mobile Data is always enabled, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth are disabled.
[HD2 Android SD Development] drmodify:
with mobile data enabled that will really drain your battery. With all disabled its about > 24 hours, minimal use. Moderate use is less than 24 hours
[HD2 Android SD Development] k8108:
I have been using this rom since January. Love it! Until this last update. As others have said, my HD2 is very, very slow. I have applied all the tweaks and suggestions, but they have not helped much. I think I will have to revert back until a new update.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kosmarnik:
It was running smooth until I put some apps,contacts, photos, music etc from my old rom.

Than it became unsuable. It would stall for 30 sec, work for 10, stall again.

Everything is working though (data, wifi, gps, camera, etc), but it's stalling all the way.

Just answering a phone call is an exercise in patience, some of the time I can't even answer the phone call cause the phone in unresponsive.

Battery life is good while it's not stalling :|

All this mounts to an unusable rom, so I'm going back to GB. I waited 4 days for the rom to settle, but it only got a bit better, no sense in being without a usable phone.

I'll backup this rom, in case someone has any suggestions on how to make it work.

GB+Sense was running normally even with 50% more apps and widgets and animated wallpapers.
[HD2 Android SD Development] benlm72:
Hi,

I exactly have the same behaviour : installing this build seems OK, runs fast an smooth, but when I backup my favourites app (about 70), then the build become laggy. I've noticed a little better behaviour by changing the sd speed to 2048kb with Rom Toolbox, but not enough to make it usable.

I've noticed the same problem with another 4.0.4 ics-based build (from wis1152) : could it be due to the 4.0.4 instead of 4.0.3 ics version ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kosmarnik:
Well backing up as I type this. Hope the issue gets resolved.

Tytung, do you have any idea what is causing this issue?

Off topic, this was my first non-sense build. It made me appreciate Sense more (except Sense launcher, ugh, ADW FTW). So much effort and apps to get functionality I took for granted.

It seems to drain battery very fast... Mmmm... I wonder what it could be.

So far, the Display seems to be the culprit, but I'm a noob regarding Android (2 days, but who's counting!).
[HD2 Android SD Development] kosmarnik:
Is your phone sleeping while the screen is off? You need to read a bit more about those apps :D

BBS will tell you what is keep your phone awake, and BWP will visualize battery drain.

Look at BWP history, what is the average drain while you're not using the phone?

While sleeping with wifi/gps off it should be ~5mA.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Virage:
So, any solution for heating device? I feel kinda warm when put it in my pants' pocket...
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmazingIceman:
Great tip, I'll look into that.

I am still wondering thought the ROM Avenue trying to decide which ROM works best for my HD2, as I do notice ICS takes a lot of RAM compared to GB.

And some ROMs have good features but lag other important features.

This SD ROM happens to be great but laggy... I read that 4.0.3 performed better despite of some bugs. This is driving me nuts! Still, thanks to the Devs, as without them we would have nothing.:cool:

---------- Post added at 12:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------

Well, as Kosmarnik said above, make sure your phone sleeps when not being used.

Check under Developer settings, I think I saw a setting to disable Sleep on the device, and there could be other settings I am not yet aware of.
[HD2 Android SD Development] tharche:
In my situation, When HD2 doing extreme I/O(SD Card R/W). Then the phone got warm(even high to 41+C).

So I think you should try previous post use BBS & BWP to find out which apps that extreme I/O access cause the warn and drains battery.

Wish this helps!

My ICS doesn't run and reboot to WM 6.5

Hi,

I searched in many pages but i found nothing...:confused:

I have a HTC HD 2 with Costum ROM (Energy Leo 29022 Sense 2.5 Cookie 2.0 Jul.04). i had another SD Android (Nexus HD2 FRG83D V1.8 Froyo 2.2.1). after backing up my memory card and deleting last android files; i copied the 'ICS' folder and 'SD_Boot' from (NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA-SD_v2.3) to root. then plug out USB cable and restart WM. after WM boot up, and run 'clrcad' then 'haret' the black screen with white text appears, then green 'HTC' logo appears. after about 15 seconds screen goes black and device reboot and go to WM 6.5.

some people at the first pages had same problem, but i didn't found any solution they got!:eek:

so what should i do? any idea...:cowboy:

- should i replace 'initrd.gz'? (i do with one, but it doesn't work, would u give me another or your 'initrd.gz'?)

- should i do something about change image size? how?

- should i format my SD card? (i did once, Quick format to FAT32 with Allocation unit size: 4096 bytes)

My SD Card: SanDisk 8GB Class 2 (oh:silly:! i thought it is Class 4! i should buy a new one with higher class! which class do you offer:cool:?)

(i tried to ask a perfect question with most details, and i think i done it :D )

Thanks,

[HD2 Android SD Development] BBCreativo:
Unzip the file !!

Unzip the only Zip File "data.ext4.zip" into the ICS Folder. So that you have a file called "data.ext4" in the ICS Folder. After that, you can delete the "data.ext4.zip"-file.
