Kuzibri - how true. I did have v1.2 B37 working very nicely buuut - the psuedo SR v1.1 B36 is still the fastest & smoothest... so I put it back. :D

I'm getting tired of this upgrading, downgrading, and side-grading. Time to be sensible again. Then I installed over it the 1.1a upgrade - because it's further enhanced and responsiveness is the same. Then (of course) I had to put back the alarms, notifications & ringtones.

Btw... I'm not sure if the Barcode Scanner was part of the build, or if I'd already had it, but (you know) it's not functional... the upgraded replacement (in the market) from the same dev, is working just fine. Everything now is working just fine. - but I still like DM's kernel better. :)

...just wanted you to know. :cool:

Best,

Rob

^ so which is the download link for the "pseudo" version again? I'm starting to get confused now lol :p
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
First page, Post #2. the line that reads, "Users have reported that the "so called" SRAM version (that wasn't) is very fast and stable with tytungs r2.4 kernel, it is the lite version. Here is the link http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7q1trs6zobzgy1a Thanks kuzibri et al."
[HD2 Android SD Development] zevele:
Hi RobE (and everybody else),

Just a suggestion, I think it would be best posting a link to the original post where the link was posted - just for the sake of order - lets say if the original poster changes the link (or wish to remove it for some reason...).

just my 2c.

This rom is awesome, only problem is the oncall screen. Anyone knows how to fix it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] z_harris:
Hi to all.

I try to install: IceCreamTostidroid V1.1(and v1.1a SRAM) B36, but I have a problem with doing that.

1. Extract the folder on your desktop.

2. Copy the extracted folder to somewhere on SD Card.

3. Go to SD card and that specific folder and open the extracted folder. There is a folder "ics".

4. Copy this folder and paste iit in the ROOT of the SD card.

5. Go to the ics folder and press clrad.

When I have to tape the pin code nothing happened. Start to loading again.

Anyone with same problem or how to solve it?

hi robbie & wis, all,

here some feedback after using 1.2 b37 (normal) since 4 days on a daily (heavy) basis:

rom: 1.2 b37 (normal)

kernel: dori 6.9 hwa

magldr

speed: faster than 1.1a b36 (normal)

wifi/3g/wifi tethering/bluetooth - working

camera, google maps, youtube - working great

chrome - working

70 apps - daily use

data ext4 reused from 1.1a b36

no runtime/uptime effects so far - rom does not get slower according to my impression (also not in benchmark tools)

some settings, do not survive reboot (e.g. background process level)

seldom reboots

no FC

great battery life on dori 6.9 hwa, even better than 1.1a b36

for me it is not beta at all!!

the more disappointing is the on-hold status in the parent thread, is that xylo takes a break! :(

hope this helps!

Cheers!
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi my friend,

usually someone takes a break after a serious offense by a user (this is based on his reaction to a user which he called - BRO), who probably takes him responsible that his kernel does not work or bricked his phone, while you are always personally responsible for instalilng it and not the developer. In the last case, it can always be revived (done that a lot of times). Hopefully Xylograph can get over that very soon, cause it would be a pity when he stops developing these beautiful Kernels.

best regards, Kuzibri

Barcode Scanners work properly when you switch Softkeys=OFF
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Did you finish reading to the end of that post? Upgrading the app solved all problems. There was a lot of horizontal/diagonal green banding... And the camera wouldn't focus at all. I've no clue why, but it's now a non-issue.

Btw - I've changed builds (again). :) You can see in my Sig. Also, reused my existing data.ext4 file. You know what? So far, so good. I haven't tested everything, but after reading your comment... I did test the Barcode Scanner, and it's working... with the Softkeys ON.

Thanks for the well-intended advice.
[HD2 Android SD Development] HTCHD2V:
With many versions of ROM, I fail to catch your mind :)

Yes, on Paranoid, barcode scanner work with sofkeys in hybrid mode. I haven't tried in Phone mode on last version, but on previous version is not working with Softkeys like all other ICS/AOKP builds.
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
At the time, using IceCreamTostidroid SR v1.1a, I'd noticed that the Barcode Scanner didn't work (as described earlier) - I uninstalled the old(er) version I'd had, and then reinstalled from the market a newer release of the same app from the same dev. The App then functioned perfectly well.

I'm unaware of the state of the soft keys when I tested the newly installed app. I'm sure I hadn't turned them off. I'm sure the (new) app was working. I'm equally certain the softkeys weren't the cause of the dysfunctional app, as I hadn't changed their state.

It's possible that something I did, in the course of modifying/upgrading/changing the build (at the time) may have cause the issue in the first place... I don't know. It really doesn't matter to me. The Barcode Scanner was again working in ICTosti, and life goes on. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] patlak:
Alot of apps are missing in this rom. There is no browser for instance.
[HD2 Android SD Development] LinChina:
You can pull the missing ones out of a non SR ROM, their are in system/app, then you copy them into your current build also into system/app and reboot.

Cheers.....LinChina

You can DL a weather widget from Playstore. Do not DL the 3D Digital Weather Clock widget cause this is incompatible with this version.

MIUI Digital clock is a good one.

sdcard not mounting in "pseudo" v.1.1

I started using the nonSR version 1.2 and encountered a lot of problems, slow response, hanging and and even restarts. As recommended a few posts before, I wanted to use the "pseudo" version (Icecream Tostidroid V1.1 AOKP B36) Tytung HWA_ r2.4 uniMac and Haret to boot. I found out that even on a clean install it does not mount the sdcard on /mnt/sdcard (but intead on bootsdcard) and because of it, when replacing the data.ext4 file a lot of applications are not working. What do I do wrong?

EDIT - I found out what my problem is: I am an haret user and the dori kernel does not mount the sdcard. I changed to tyung2.5 kernel as explained by kusibri (Thanks!) in #2755 and all is OK.
[HD2 Android SD Development] gazzacbr:
On 1.1 b36 and tried tytung 2.4. All working ok but "slaggy".

[HD2 Android SD Development] zevele:
Hi,

For all those using tytung's kernel, just noticed he released v3 (here). He also updated his ROM (here).

edit:

If anyone feels adventurous here's an update I've made

MediaFire

Dev-Host

Just replace zImage under ICS folder and put the rest into ICS/root folder - don't forget to make a backup before :p (I haven't tried it myself yet, too late for tests now...)

Z.
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Not that I'm using this build anymore, but in general, I agree. Tytung's r2.5 (I think), is better than r2.4 - but Dorimanx's V6.9 is the more responsive, higher performance kernel. The standby battery drain differences are minimal, but DM's Kernel might pull a bit more juice.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi,

will try the new Kernel tomorrow for the same reason as you mentioned.

best regards and thanks, Kuzibri

EDIT: already did it: seems a bit slower in gaining ROM cotrol, etc access tov Superuser, further OK. Maybe some reboots needed.

[HD2 Android SD Development] poyensa:
I have tried but something is not OK as the meta-inf & system folders stay after reboot, and rom is much slower :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Hmmm, interesting (I suspect something's not right)... supposedly he greatly improved & refined this Kernel.

Fwiw, if upgrading only Kernel - for SD build(s) - replace zImage, and use just the System folder - no need to use META-INF.

Rob
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi Rob,

already installed the new Tytung Kernel, untill now this is my opinion about it:

"seems a bit slower in gaining ROM control, etc access to Superuser, further OK. Maybe some reboots needed".

EDIT: after two reboots, it works very fine, Fast access to Superuser!!!

very best regards, Kuzibri

[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Sorry to hear (I was hoping it would be better), and so I guess it's back to r2.5.

Ever try DM's V6.9 with your build? Many folks prefer it... but whatever the case. Enjoy my friend.

Best,

Rob
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi Rob, after a few reboots, it works fine!!!!!!!!!

very best regards, Kuzibri

BTW: DM's versions always have the problem that the SD card is not mounted, so that's no real option for me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
So it's good. Good! - Is it better?

How's the standby battery drain in mA? (w/radio on, but WiFi & Data off)? Please if you can, let me know.

Thanks,

Rob
[HD2 Android SD Development] zevele:
That is not right, usually when I get this behaviour it means those files were not updated - usually the paths are wrong. If this is the case it means that you use your old modules with the new kernel.

Thanks Rob, I'll keep this in mind for the next.

Z.
[HD2 Android SD Development] makuu:
Thanks, I'm actually using FancyWidget since I like the Sense clock like.

But in this rom I like to have the weather via the notification bar, and I didn't find other app to do so.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
MIUI weather widget has also the Sense like look and you can even customize the hours and minutes to start a certain program when you press them.

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] boulek:
Which Kernel do you think guys i should try with the pseudo Rom ??
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi Rob,

it's better after several reboots. Could not test yet the battery drainage, but seems the same (Android always drains the battery more than Artemis :)).

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Thanks zevele, next time I get recurring upgrades on reboot and root folder has contents, I shall be checking /system to see if new modules are present. Thought

it was just another android quirk:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi Zevele,

I do not really know if this is true and I do not doubt your opinion, but I have had the same issue once before and just deleted the files in \ics\root and rebooted several times. When I then went to settings - info about device, there was the new kernel visible and the behaviour was other than before changing kernels :((So what's the truth, I do not know - do you??)

very best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
Robbie i think Dorimanx has released a new hwa kernel:-):-)

EDIT: confirmed 7.2 HWA on his site for download:-):-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] zevele:
I'm no pro, but, as I said when I got the folders wrong (for example putting the app folder directly under the root folder) the files were not deleted - from this behavior I assume that if something is wrong the files are not deleted.

As for the kernel version, zImage is the kernel, when you upgrade you first overwrite zImage, so the kernel is updated and that's what you see the kernel version, under the about device info.

About the lib files not getting updated, I can only assume that sometimes the update of the libs is not required.

As I said I'm no pro, and this is my understanding from the behavior I see, and then again I might be completely wrong here...

Z.
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
I know what you mean. Artemis or no, a Nand build is always going to be more battery friendly than an SD build. Still... If and when you have the time to test and take notice... Please let me know the average/approximate/lowest mAH drain #'s.

Thanks, Rob
[HD2 Android SD Development] boulek:
Guys sorry for the threadcrapping but i just downladed the Full zip from Dorimanx site..But the zip has a lot of files..Where i can find the META INF and System files??The Zimage i think i found lol...
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
For a Kernel upgrade, just delete the old zImage and copy over the new... zImage is located in the kernel folder.

Create a system folder.

put the lib folder (located in kernel-libs) into it.

Put this system folder into the (empty) root folder (sdcard)/ics/root/

system

Forget the META-INF. You don't need to use it.

Power Off.

Restart... you're done.

[HD2 Android SD Development] boulek:
What is the correct way??I tried it though booted but when i unlocked the phone FC all the way..So i guess Dorimanx will update this..
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Edit : additional complete instructions...

My most sincere apologies to the forum.

The above instructions still apply but with a small amount of additional work.

Create a bin folder. Put all of the files from the kernel folder (except for zImage) into this bin folder. Put the bin folder into the system folder (as above).

Create an etc folder. Put the init.d folder from the 4-ics-system folder into this (newly created) etc folder.

Put the etc folder into the system folder as above.

Now you'll have a system folder with subordinate folders inside; bin, etc, lib

Power Off.

Restart... you're done.

Again - my apologies mea culpa... Trust me folks. This will work.

Final edit - This is the correct procedure, but is not working. I'm guessing this newest DM 7.2 HWA kernel isn't ready for prime time.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
To all with Kernel upgrade problems

Do it just the way we used to when we update a kernel:

METAINF to \ics\root

system to \ics\root

Zlimage to \ics

and therafter reboot. Works fine for me. These file are not for nothing in the downloaded Kernels ;)

very best regards, Kuzibri

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

Hi Rob,

IMHO, this is to much a work around. See my previous post.

BTW, why should we suddenly change our kernel upgrade policy? It always worked in the "old fashioned" way. I updated to the latest Tytung kernei in this old fashioned way without any problems.

very best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Sorry Robbie. Corrected post #2719.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Thanks RobE, that's what I did, still got FCs. If anyone tries, please backup system first. Sorry not had much more time since my last post:)

Edit; @kuzibri, we wouldn't post a kernel in the old fashioned way (sd compatable) without testing first would we?;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Thanks Robbie. That's the correct procedure as I understand it... and I'm glad you agree. - So I've done it (again). I'm not getting any FC's ...but my launchers have stopped, (Lol) - I'm not really laughing.:(

I just don't get it. Everything loads but something's killing my launchers, and I'm stuck.

Will report back.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
That's what I meant by FCs, launcher and originally system. Sorry, should have been clearer. "Nova Launcher not responding...would you like to close it?", not FC.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boulek:
Guys i am having the excact same problem...
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Some of the /lib/modules files have changed. All others appear the same to me. I know nothing about (what's been done to) zImage.

I think this is a Dorimanx issue, and I'm kind of surprised but don't know what else to do, other than restore my older setup (which works great). Not a big loss...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
I think you are right about it being a kernel issue, just tried it on miui-us sd and miui-home is not responding, so can't be this build. Unless it is due to the porting process. IDK. night all.
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
My friend (with all due respect)... I think, in this particular scenario - you're not really 'getting' it. This is not a work-around. It's different from Tytung's releases.

Dorimanx kernel release is more a universal release for multiple android versions whether Nand or SD. The question remains for those who don't know... Which files to use? Where to put them? How does this work? Etc.

Often (meaning: usually) for a particular build... someone will gather the appropriate files for that build, and post (just those files), in the proper build thread. In which case what you'd typically do (as noted above) applies. This is still the same old-fashioned way. :)

In this case - I'm guessing - with people's enthusiasm to upgrade to the newest, latest & greatest (myself included)... there were many questions on what to do, which files to use? The appropriate files weren't yet prepared by anyone for use with a particular build.

Craig (wis1152), gave typical proper instruction. I posted such, but something wasn't right as Robbie P., noted... so I re-examined past procedure and posted updated full instructions (as would typically be prepared for download for a particular build). Still... correctly done - It was/is a FAIL.

So the assumption is... that something is not right with DM's newly released kernel.

Fwiw, if you'd like... take a look for yourself http://dorimanx.com/ at the "Ready HWA Kernels List" and d/l one of the kernel files... take a look at the contents - and you'll understand what I'm saying. :)

And... hopefully we now understand one another. :)

Best,

Rob
