woow seems this version is working on my phone. i haven't seen a crash yet and it hasn't been sluggish. lets hope it stays this way
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Hi kuzibri, fix permissions (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fix_permissions) might have worked. But maybe trying to mount the sdcard manually using an android terminal emulator might do the trick (I am trying to find the exact code:o). The ROM manager is mainly for NAND users, I only mentioned it for fixing permissions. What post was "played" in? I didn't pay for it;)

Can't buy apps

Hi guys!

Still a noob when it comes to Android on HD2 so this might be a stupid question - be warned ;)

When I try to buy an app in the new Google Play-market thingy :P Apex Launcher says an error has occured and returns me the the list of avalible apps... I can download free apps with no problem! :S My theory is that Play tries to open a window for me to input my credit card number (haven't done that yet you see!) but something failes...

Any ideas for a fix? :) I'm running v10 right now with stock kernel - Tytung I believe!

/Anders
[HD2 Android SD Development] fatappel:
Vplayer works flawlessly for me on V11 Normal. I actually get no force closes on any app as long as I do not overclock. Using smartass2 governor and the stock tytung kernel. Give that a shot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi Robbie,

for this very moment I'm fed up with trying Dornimanx Kernels, none of them work. I've even thrown away 5 Euro to buy the payed version of Clockworkmod's ROM Manager :confused: On the other hand, awaiting eagerly your Android Terminal Emulator to mount SD card manually. I cannot resist the temptation to try it and I also cannot stand the fact that something does not function like it should do without knowing the cause of it ;)

P.S. On page 91 you mentioned player/market to download the ROM Manager.

very best regards, Kuzibri

Hi,

fully agree with you to use Tytung. Dornimanx is, this is a personally remark, a complete disaster for me!! None of them works, while Tytung does the job properly.

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Hi Kuzibri, in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24199853&postcount=903 I mentioned play/market, meaning google play or market, depending on whether you have upgraded to google play to access app store:) Sorry for 5euros:o

With regards to "android terminal emulator" (there are a few different ones, but all do same basic thing), it is a free app available on play/market which gives access to android at a low level (linux). It might be possible to write commands in linux to mount the sd card. If it works then a script can be written which mounts it on each reboot. I am not all that hot on Linux programming, I am not a dev;)

Can anyone help our friend Kuzibri?

I think it is something like;

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /sdcard

but I might be wrong, so don't do it.

BTW latest 6.4 (today) is posted on post#2. Dorimanx still has not given his mum his HD2, apparently:)

[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
which build are you using, version number, superRAM or normal?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ibnoor:
SuperRAM V_11
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Did you have tytung or 6.3 Dorimanx originally.

I think upgrading the superRAM versions may not be possible without loss of something.

When 6.4 settles down and seems final, I will upload a RAMv11(6.4) version.

Meantime did you copy original system.ext4 and zimage before upgrade?

Else re-install build but keep your data.ext4
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
And yet another kernel upgrade from dorimanx, 6.4c , see post#2:D:D

Hi Guys,

I just tried the normal v11 after having been a loyal ACA user for a year.

The rom is certainly nice and snappy (great work!) but the resolution is quite low as standard (ACA standard themes are far crisper) and I can't really figure out what (if any) extra advantages there are for switching "up" to ICS is?

May seem like a dump question but any guidance or insight would be appreciated!
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
It's a matter of personal choice IMO. You can install one of the normal versions in which you can set the LCD Density to 240 instead of 192. The only one who can decide whether an upgrade to ICS is of advantage for you compared to ACA, is yourself and nobody else.

[HD2 Android SD Development] YSB:
Hi, Guys,

First of all I would like to say thanks for your great job. I've tried a lot of ROMs (with Haret) and this is only which I like (concerning battery life).

Now about problems.

Normally I install all new ROMs on small SD (2GB) for testing and if everything is OK and if I like it, I transferred it to my working SD (16GB) At this time I did the same. I install Super V11 with Dor6.3 on small SD - everything was great and working well and I decide to transfer it on my 16GB card. I just copied all files from small card to big one. The ROM was working well, but File Manager did not see SD card. I tried to install another file explorers - same result - NO SD card. (But if using file manager you will click "home" and you can see "boodsdcard" folder, where you can see all files on SD). I decide to make clean install directly on 16GB card, but it doesn't help - still SD card was not seen. Then I update kernel till 6.4 on both small and big SD. On 2GB everything was OK, but on 16GB still could not see files on SD. Finely I took from my son SD card 4GB and transfer all files from 2GB card. ROM is working well and SD card could be seen. By the way - WiFi working nicely on Super V11 with Dor 6.3 as well as Dor 6.4

sd card

Your 16gb SD card must be formatted fat32 with 32kb cluster size. Give it a try
[HD2 Android SD Development] YSB:
Thanks, but unfortunately formatting doesn't help. Before it was formatted fat32 with 4kb cluster :-(
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Hi YSB, do you have any partitions on your sd card? It may persist after formatting with windows, if it is an ext partition. Use gparted to check.

Daedric, in the ROM thread, mentions an sd card recognition problem, but strange that the build works on one sd and not the other.

hi,

i want to try the super ram version....

is it significantly faster than the normal??(or should i go with normal?)

thanks,

[HD2 Android SD Development] YSB:
Normally I'm using 16GB card for my WM6.5 and additionally for android. There is no any partitions on it. Last time i just formated card on my computer with Win7 as advised by arjaylight and tried to clean install Super V11. It is normally working, but say that SD card is empty(???)
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
Use this tool http://www.mediafire.com/?3241tjhwd8o2vc3 to format sd card
[HD2 Android SD Development] walidhazem:

but i dont use 3g, so v11 will basically be the same...i guess, will report later

I don't use BT for file transfer (no BT PC, only BT headset), but I know that some files do not show up on phone using usb transfer until after the phone reboots.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Finally, finally, finally

Finally I got Dorimanx 6.4 to work on my HD2 :D:D:D:D:D

I followed a complete new strategy:

1. Format SD Card as usual

2. Install only ICS V11 superram on it

3. Directly install Dorimanx kernel version before first reboot

4. Insert SD card into device and start ICS by haret and thereafter rebooted three times. Thereafter ICS with this Kernel worked!!!

5. Copied then all of my HD2 files I need for Artemis ROM to SD Card.

6. Reinserted SD card in device and booted up ICS with Dorimanx kernel. No luck. Kept hanging on the boot screen.

7. Performed a SR and thereafter copied the "old" data file (also from V11 Superram) to the ICS folder, rebooted and now everything works fine (info from device: Kernel version= Dorimanx V6.4b ICS CM7!!!), i.e. SD card mounted, FileManager and Galery working :D:D:D:D

very best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:

hello, i have installed the v11 normal and i like it but i find it not very smooth and the battery drain is alittle bit important.

Is the dorimanx kernel better with the drain please?

thx for ur reply.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ibnoor:
Hi, next time install ICS V11 superram and then, before rebooting 3 times, install Dorimanx kernel directly and then reboot 3 times.

Hey,

Coming here from AmeriCan Android, just decided it's time to upgrade (because I lost my backup after upgrading WP7, fffffffuuuuuu-), and I'm concerned about few things:

1. I am unable to change the DPI, it stays on 240 whatever I do.

2. ICS on-screen buttons - they are nice and I use them to save hardware ones, but I don't want them to be displayed on lockscreen and after pulling the status bar. Is it possible?

3. Power Management widget isn't configurable at all.

4. And the statusbar widgets - I found lack of "lock screen" button disturbing.

5. The file manager app isn't capable of displaying all the folders on my SD card.

If these problems cannot be fixed, I shall test EvoICS and Nexus, and if there they aren't solved, I'm going back to ACA.
[HD2 Android SD Development] indergod:
Hi, is there a reason why the internal storage is only coming up as 256mb. When I look at the ICS folder the data.ext file is coming up as 1gb, but it only allows me to install around 256mb of apps?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi my internal storage comes up with 248 Mb, of which 166 is used by apps. My data.ext4 files comes up within ICS as 256 Mb. The 1Gb of your data file is far too large IMO.

Besides that, you also can install apps on SD Card.

BTW, which ICS version and Kernel are you using??

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
This is posted in post 2:)

There is no data.ext4 included, as a fresh install is recommended.

If haret booting, change startup.txt/data.size to whatever you like.

If magldr- default is 512mb. Choose a clean data.ext4 from a previous build download if you want bigger, and put in ics folder before first boot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
"Hey",

seems you're rather an impatient person, but nevertheless:

You have to give more precise information:

1. which ICS version did you install? Probably a normal one as you have LCD Density of 240, but it's important to know which ICS version it is.

2. Which Kernel do you have? The standard Tytung's one or Dorimanx.

All of these are important information, which you did not give us.

And BTW, you might be a bit more polite in the way you post problems you have with this ROM :(

Let me be clear: it's not personally meant, but I am no fan of these kinds of posts. What I mean is this: you have just dowloaded and installed this ROM and meet some problems and then you state, impatiently, "If these problems cannot be fixed, I shall test EvoICS and Nexus, and if there they aren't solved, I'm going back to ACA". IMHO, this is not the way to react to a new installed ROM.

If you feel offended by this answer, then 1. as I already stated it's not personally meant and 2. it's your own problem cause you could have stated your problems in an other way, like: "Hi, I installed this ROM just now and I have some problems with it. Can somebody help me with these problems".

[HD2 Android SD Development] Spaqin:
Hello,

I am very sorry if I offended you. I must say, I am inpatient, especially when I lose my backups and I am unable to go back now, so I wanted to settle down and try to configure things as they were ASAP.

The things I have mentioned before were the most basic stuff I needed, therefore they are making the ROM the daily driver, not a toy. It might seem weird to you, but that is because I haven't switched to ICS as soon as it came here. Few of my concerns are probably very ROM-related, like no Screen Lock button and not configurable Power Management (I think it's called like this, I use Polish language) widget.

I have read something about this ROM before I downloaded it, so I assumed that Tytung kernel + ordinary, not SuperRAM version (since there was little info about what that SuperRAM version does) was the best and the most stable and troubleless combination. It looks like I was wrong, but it might be worth asking.

Also, telling you my next steps would allow you to point out other ROMs' advantages and disadvantages, if you have tried them of course. As I stated before, settling down as soon as possible was a priority for me, but it's not a concern right now since I have configured WP7 ROM, so at least I have a working phone.

I will be very thankful for your eventual reply. I hope I haven't offended you again with this post, and again I am very sorry for the "impatient me".

[HD2 Android SD Development] kuzibri:
Hi,

you did not offend me, so apologies are not needed, but do you know the phrase: "c'est le ton qui fait la musique" ?

If you want a stable and fast ICS version, use V10 Superram with normal Tytung's kernel. The difference between Super and normal RAM is what the name says: it's faster and the LCD density is set to 192.

I would advice you to install it as instructed on page 1, play with it patiently:rolleyes: and if you (still) have problems, do not hesitate to ask me or somebody else.

Easter Eggs

MyMobiler for Android - has anyone got this working with this SD ROM? I can connect via WiFi and see my mobile (running SD IceCreamTostidroid v11.0) on my PC (Windows 7) and take screenshots of the mobile from my PC - see attached. However I cannot use the mouse or type on my PC keyboard to operate the HD2. I can do this with Windows MyMobilier and would like to be able to use a full sized keyboard with Android ICS.

http://mymobiler.com/?cat=3

Note: MyPhoneExplorer seems to work fine over WiFi for synchronizing but does not allow PC keyboard input.

http://www.fjsoft.at/

Note: TeamViewer also works fine over WiFi but is the other way round - I can control my PC from my HD2.

http://www.teamviewer.com/

I appreciate that this is all slightly off-topic but can anyone use their PC keyboard to input on Android ICS running on HTC HD2 Leo and preferably see the mobile screen on their PC ideally without cables over WiFi?

Also does anyone regularly connect via Android file explorer to Windows 7 PC. I use several Android file managers to do this such as ES File Explorer, FX File Explorer and Total Commander. All three allow me to connect to the PC and copy files via WiFI but the connection is not regular. Sometimes it works, often it does not. Any ideas from someone who uses one of these successfully on a regular basis?

Finally a big thank you to Robbie P for taking over this forum and to kuzibri for his help.

Happy Easter all

Hi Tom,

already tried out MyMobiler for you and there are two problems with it IMO:

1. It works only by USB

2. Indeed it only works when you press apps/things on your device and not on PC. The reason might be a conflict between the Windows Mobile version of MyMobiler and this one, although I cannot prove this at this very moment.

Hey again,

As suggested, I downloaded SuperRAM v10 with Tytung kernel, and I still have some problems with it:

- I'm still unable to change the density. I prefer 160 than 192, and there are market compability issues probably caused by that. Well, it's like every app isn't compatible with my phone, especially the ones I need;

- Power Control (not Management as I thought, I checked it this time) widget is still completely not configurable;

- I can't update system apps, they aren't shown on my apps tab in market,

- I see no way to hide the soft buttons bar. I wouldn't want to have it, especially when playing games.

Can any of you help me with these issues? I would be very thankful.
