SystemUI patches for softkeys

I've repackaged the patches and attached them below, they can be installed via ROM Toolbox from the market, copy the zip don't extract it into /sdcard/romtoolbox/ThemeManager/UserThemes ; then open the app and navigate to Interface -> Theme Manager -> User Themes and install it.

The folders will be created automatically if you open theme manager in rom toolbox before copying the zips

I haven't tested them all but they should work.

Edit These also seem to work for 1.4a (keep a copy of SystemUI.apk just in case) and added the latest one.

Edit These are working fine with 1.5 and I can't see there being any major changes made to SystemUi.apk in future builds so these should work for the forseeable future

Edit Adding latest patch, adds menus when long pressing back and recents. All patches should work with 1.5b (even though its odexed, I believe all that's changed is classes.dex is removed from the app and optimised; file names and locations for these patches remain unchanged).

Edit roomtoolbox.zip contains all the patches just unzip it to /sdcard and all mods can be applied in ROM Toolbox

Edit Romtoolbox.zip doesn't appear to be downloading so have uploaded it additionally to dev-host

Note: I already updated the hidden power patch referenced at the top and in the thread it explains how...
[HD2 Android SD Development] NYSEAN1:
Yes it happened to me too and sadly with other ics roms too. The device freezes up and won't wake up no matter what you press except pulling battery. Sometimes I get the blank/black screen when I receive a call while using an app....can't even answer the call...unfortunately ics roms are still very buggy and unstable:(
[HD2 Android SD Development] LinChina:
The zip file contain a meta.inf and system folder, so put the the system folder into root and re-boot, you don't need meta.inf.....that should work !

Only "PA_v1.2a_tablet_hidden_power_button.7z" is for 1.2a......for the other as e.g. power button I'm not sure whether that work too.

Cheers......LinChina

Problems with 1.2a

I am still having problems with the phone rebooting (all the way back to magldr) when installing or deleting apps.

I am using Google Play to install and Go Launcher to delete apps.

I have tried turning all performance options off and on. I have tried limiting background processes to 2. I have turned off all hybrid and tablet options.

Any ideas???
[HD2 Android SD Development] vibbuz:
Hd2 ics and go launcher have lots of problems together, i had the same you report while using that launcher months ago. you should give apex launcher a try, i never had a reboot or a freeze. Autokiller is also something to use very carefully!

It's working well for me (so far). In the process of pushing my old data files into a new one, I can add/DM a dropbox link for my system.ext4 (the important part) but I think it best to wait for someone who knows what they are doing to update this thread.

[HD2 Android SD Development] melando:
Port 1.4a

2 quick questions on 1.4a

- can we update rather than clean install?

- will it run in any directory on SD card (under MAGLDR, which ignores startup.txt)? Had trouble with this with 1.2a
[HD2 Android SD Development] c1cl0n:
1. Yes you can. Because v1.2a and v1.4a have duplicate configs in startup.txt (rel_path, data_size)

2. No, you need to change rel_path -n startup.txt before use in diffirent subfolder

About magldr I don't know it, never tested

I'm just a 2 days using magldr :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
AFAIK magldr ignores startup.txt, thats why 512mb data.ext4 is always made if none included. I usually change the build folder name, but care should be taken, 8 chars or less and no non-alphanumeric characters should be ok.

Hi to all.

I instal v1.4a and after that I have data problem. Install the fix from post#2 but the android can not start. Starting to load and the screen stay on the logo and noting happened. Can anyone help me to solve this problem.
[HD2 Android SD Development] c1cl0n:
Hi z_harris

About your problems:

- Are your magldr or Haret start

- What is data issue you get by install v1.4a (no data or no mobile data)

- What is fix you install
[HD2 Android SD Development] z_harris:
I use Haret start,

no mobile data,

PARA_hd2_cLK_datafix. I guess this is not the fix I have to use or the problem is something else, so I instal the Android again. (still no mobile data)

Thanks for the quick reply

Please check your APN settings, because I'm too magldr user and mobile data is ok for me :)

Download one of this Kernel archive

Extract archive to your pc/sdcard

Copy extracted folders "META-INF" and "system" to your PA root folder (like /ICS/root/)

Copy extracted zImage file to your PA main foolers (like /ICS/) with overwite confirm

Reboot device :)

haret user = my first time using this rom. the wifi works so far, i am not sure about data yet since where i work it is bad signal anyways. once i am on the road, i will find out and test my bluetooth. right now i am also adding my main apps that i do use.

will report back any findings later. it is a bit laggy and i will see what the results are after changing to 2 process.

Feels a lot smoother than previous...wifi and mobile data working nicely. I am using topram class 10 16gb sd card with dutty's rom....also using previous 1gb data(getting tired of trying every single build and installing all my apps over and over again....). So far no problem except

for couple of "process system is not responding" and hope these message go away......nice and smooth so far
[HD2 Android SD Development] pana22:
Well, is faster than previous release. At the moment everything works fine. But, in this release (v.1.4a) and earlier releases (v1.2) every time i install an app boot automatically. Only v.1.1a don´t do that, but have the black screen or deep sleep issue (call him what you want)

found some issues. my data does not work at all. i have to use wifi just to get anything to load up. another thing i found weird is that the music player likes to just stop working after like a minute. i haven't tested anything else out yet but that alone makes me want to go back to what i was using.

bluetooth seems to work fine but i can't even listen to my music without it apollo shutting off on me. and the whole data thing? i checked settings and everything seems ok so idk what the deal is.

i did a fresh install of your latest version and didn't change anything on it.

[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
My first time using this rom magldr dual boot with WP7 Tango. I have 2 issues to report.

# 1 For some reason my network keeps on loosing connection after a few minutes. I have to key in the security code very often whenever the network vanishes and comes back. Dont know whether its my network connection problems but even then there should be no need to ask for pin input. Unless thats a specific feature of the rom....

# 2 is that the rom does not show my purchased applications at the Market. Its like I have to purchase all my apps afresh when using the rom. As a result I have not played much with the rom of course coz I dont want to purchase my apps afresh at Google Play.... :eek:
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
You never have to repurchase your Market apps. You should clear your market (app) data on the device, and sometimes, but not always, the services framework, and be sure your Google acct/settings login is properly setup. After you log back in to the market... do a search for your apps... they'll come-up listed as purchased and you can re-download them.

can you show me how to change softkey size, it too big :D:D:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] twinn20:
Awesome system performance improvement from v1.2 to v1.4. Everything is working well. Had to change a few app dpi but nothing tedious.

Background process: 2

Over clocked to 1113
[HD2 Android SD Development] HypoTurtle:
You just need to change the framework-res DPI in paranoid settings.

It seems that it's SystemUI's DPI also has an effect on softkeys, just play about with both.

One may apply to tablet mode and one to phone mode, not sure as of yet.

i popped in the 1.4a build on to the mem card, directed magldr and it booted up and started running just fine. a few hours in, a few phone calls and app used and it's running great.

You can probably access your sd contents in /bootsdcard.

A full format of sd card can solve this problem.

First make sure that BOTH partitions on sd card are set as Primary (use minitool partition wizard)
[HD2 Android SD Development] psychocyst:
before i switched ROMs, i backed up my old build, formatted the card and booted up the new build like it's supposed to be done but my applications can't detect the sd card within the phone. my app (gallery, mx player, file explorer, etc.) show that the sd is missing or not inserted and the storage option on the settings page says the same thing.

i booted up the old build and that works well so i'm guessing it's build specific?

[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
Can you try something;) try change to dori 6.9 hwa kernel from post 4 now see if SD card is mounted.I think it will but if you want to use tytung r3 kernel you will need to follow robbie advice and make sure both partition are set to primary:)

change of kernel did the trick. my sd space is visible but the lag with this one is terrible. i'll have to mix and match some other ones tomorrow since it's late her and i have to call it a night.

thanks again for your help, wis1152.
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Sometimes... just a different choice of Governor, and/or I/O scheduler (built-in to the kernel) using that same kernel, will eliminate or markedly reduce lag... and increase performance. Kernels have 'stock' settings that can be changed... every rom/device they're used in is different.
[HD2 Android SD Development] psychocyst:
okay, i tried all of tytung's kernels out and couldn't get any of them to read my sd card but the dorimanx 7.2 worked like a charm. running smooth so far, unlike the 6.9 which had terrible lag. gonna put the ROM through it's paces to check out the performance.

thanks again, folks.

Moving on up

Hello,

Semi-nube here. Was on ACA SD for awhile 'till their progress died and ICS caught my attention.

PA took a couple weeks and fresh formatting a SD card to get a familiar with, I like the options it offers, and the people who post here are great. However, when using Google "My Tracks" the GPS voice was lowwww and slooooow. Also, It seems that LBE Privacy and Comodo security seem to slow it down a lot too. Background services is limited to three, if that helps. I've read that NAND is the faster way to go.

Either way it's time to learn something new and progress (I hope), something similar to what's on someone's signature line here. The next level looks like PA MAGLDR, as Data access is critical for my job. The comparison I found said that while CLK boots faster, it has issues with PPP (whatever that is) leaving MAGLDR as the best option. Also, it seems like a good step to ultimately a fully NAND setup. Please let me know if my misunderstanding is correct or if things have changed. :)

Found the following site:

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-magldr-and-how-to-install-and-use-it-on-htc-hd2/ which, barring other people's comments, will be this weekends project.

Any tips other sites, tips, etc to get me up to speed quickly running Paranoid Android MAGLDR?

PS Thanks for reading the long post (sorry) and the help in advance.
