[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Incanity:
I have a question:

For all of you who still use the HD2 with Artemis v66 on a regular basis, what is your average battery life?

And with that, do you still use the original battery, or do you have a extended battery?

I wonder, because my HD2 doesn't even last a whole day on a full battery charge...:(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kuzibri:
Hi Incanity,

before I'm able to answer your question as good as possible, I have a a few questions for you with regards to battery life:

1. How do you use your HD2, e.g. intensively with a lot of videos, games, etc?

2. How old is your battery

3. When was the last time you formatted your SD Card??

very best regards, KUzibri
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mauro.mmm:
talking 1-2 hours per day and the rest on standby it lives 3 days, without other connection.

If you use wifi, gps or other, only 10-12 hours:

it's important turn off all you don't need.

My battery is 28 month old, but there isn't much difference between it was new and now.

I always recharge it when battery is lower then 10%...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Wanchope2k:
Running v65 ROM I get 2-3 days of battery life.

I dont phone much maybe 10mins per day + 10sms per day (3G is always off).

I check my email 2-3 times per day & read BBC news while on the john ;)

However, sometimes maybe once a month or so I have a problem that the battery just dissapears in a few hours.

There seem to be several things which can cause this (all sense 1.0 bugs I guess):

- Audio Player starting on its own but with 0% volume

- Cyberon Voice dialer going crazy and randomly dialing numbers

Usually I carry a spare battery with my when I know Ill be away from home just in case.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kuzibri:
Ok my friend,

here are some tips to save your battery:

1. Recharge your battery when it is about 20% and not lower (10% is too low).

2. Drain battery once a month completely a recharge it. When it's full deconnect.

3. Format your SD Card on a regular basis, i.e. every two weeks or so, cause a malfunctioning SD Card drains your battery like hell

4. Use a battery saving program like Advanced Config. You can find it here: http://www.touchxperience.com/appli...ownloads&Itemid=95&task=viewcategory&catid=11. If you need help with that (settings), PM me and I will send you the settings I found by trial and error to be the best for our HD2.

To answer your question: My battery lasts for at leasts two to three days with normal usage and all data constantly on, e.g. 3G, weather updates, etc. I do not disable anything. I also use a normal and not extended battery.

very best regards, Kuzibri

Hi,

no my friend, it's not Audio Player or Cyberon Voice, but your SD Card. Format it every two weeks and your problem is solved :)

I sometimes find Activesync goes mad with very high CPU usage with phone disconnected from Computer. Only happens on occasions, not sure of the cause, must be a bad sync or something, but when it happens battery drains in a few hours.

If I suspect a bad sync, I now use task manager to check activesync cpu usage, if high I kill activesync and then no issues with battery life.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] colint3:
Just get into the bootloader screen (hold volume down and press start button). The ruu file needs to be on your computer not on your sd crad. Do not rename it. Just double click and follow the prompts it will install the hd2 rom and reboot.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Studebaker72:
Same here. If activesync is used the battery gets very hot and the device dies within one hour. I use it just for a quick sync, the I switch activesync off and re-charge the battery. Sometimes a reboot is required.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mauro.mmm:
Hi Colint

So when I am into the bootloader screen I must connect usb cable ("serial" become "USB") and I can double click the file RUU_Leo_S_HTC_ITA_3.14.408.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship

and installation starts?

I solved by SD Card formatting it in FAT32, but I like what you say...

Thanks, mauro

Activesync

Same here.... and as stated before>> we have to wait to v.67 ;)

My HD2 auto. start activesync and just ran out off battery sometimes :)

Happy summer to all :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kuzibri:
Hi Mauro,

if you have the leoimg.nbh file in the root of your SD Card, the only thing you have to do is enter bootloader screen en follow instructions on tne screen, no USB connection needed.

very best regards, Kuzibri

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Incanity:
Hi Kuzibri,

at first, thanks for the response. :)

When I use my HD2 it's merely to check email, use TomTom Navigator, and browse for a bit. all in all about 1 - 2 hours of real use.

My HD2 is 1,5 years old, and the battery about 2 - 2,5 years (phone was replaced after repair, had to keep original battery)

My SD Card is formatted 1 day before I last used it.

Maybe it's because i use 3G and WiFi alot..

When using TomTom I already expect the battery to die fast seeing that GPS sucks massive amounts of power.. :o

But I also expect that the LCD screen on the HD2 isn't very power-friendly..:( When on android, the battery report shows the screen to be a large consumer of battery power.

What do you think?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kuzibri:
Yep, you're right - Android is battery hungry.

Do you use battery saving software? I use since ages Advanced Config for that and I works very good. Just Google it. If after installing, you need help with the most optimal settings for your HD2, just PM me and I will send you the settings I also use for ages and found out by trial and error.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kuzibri:
I understand your frustration, but be patient my dear friend :) It's becoming more and more difficult, even, for our great friend to release a new version since MS has totally stopped the support for WinMo 6. So, he has to retrieve his sources from other OS's and developers.

Graphicproblem after using Sense

hi Sir Kuzibri,

I know you are the great specialist.

My question: After I recently activated sense, I got a great video issue. No idea what happens,and after which Rom version. But the fact is, I must sense switch off and restart then all runs Back to normal. Do you have a tip?

i tried CoOkiesHometab both versions but found no solution.

Warm regards Heiner
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kuzibri:
Hi my dear friend,

Thanks for the compliment :)

I have with Artemis Sense always activated without any probs and use since ages CHT 1.8.5.1.

What do you mean exactly with " which ROM version"?? Before I can try to help you, I really need some more info. My Artemis runs with Sense on videos normally, so no prob at all. Regarding CHT: you know my point of view with regards to CHT and Artemis: version 1.8.5.1 .

very best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] heiner1111:
Sense issue

hi Kuzibri, thanks for quick reply:)

It is not a big problem but since I activated sense after a long time again I was very surprised about this error. The graphic is completely destroyed and only a softreset bring my phone back:). I have spb mobile shell from time to time in use but sense is a little bit more intuitive to operate.

perhaps i should flash my machine again and see what happens. waiting till comes a new version from our master:)

Have a nice day heiner

ps: using an android SD-Version from wis. runs very good. i see that you also running sd-version. What,s in your opinion the best?

bye
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kuzibri:
Hi Heiner,

A HR would indeed solve your problem and, if I were you, I would do it today cause it's still uncertain when V67 will be released (can take a few weeks IMO).

Regarding Android, this is the best version: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7q1trs6zobzgy1a

It's very fast, smooth as butter and reliable. Only disadvantage is that you have to install the PIN code unlock, otherwise you will be stuck on the pincode screen (see attachment). Unzip it and install METAINF and system folders to \ics\root and zlimage to \ics and reboot.

There are many kernels floating around for this version, but I would recommend one of the many Tytung Kernels (f.i. 2.5 /2.6 RWA - see page 1 Kernels).

very best regards, Kuzibri

hi Kuzibri,where can i find installation instructions of this rom?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kuzibri:
Hi my friend,

on page 1 of this particular thread, it's a bit of scrolling through this page but it's all there. If you cannot find it or are in doubt, do not hesitate to contact me again ("Well you know just extract everything and put the ics folder in your root of sd card, you know the rest..) !!

BTW, AOKP V39 is released today, but I still would advice you to install the version I linked cause it's superfast, smooth, satble and reliable. WiFi, BT and 3G are all working in this particular version. The fastest I ever installed on my SD Card :good:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ares93:
Pardon if this has been asked before, but 4000 pages is quite a bit to read.

Is there a way to have the old style menu? The one on the top. The new one (bottom menu) bugs the hell out of me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kuzibri:
Can you post a screenshot of how it is now??

best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ares93:
I haven't used WM in over four years. So sorry, no. But it looks exactly like the screenshots in the first post.

What I want is the old style start menu that is located on the top portion of the screen. (WM2002, WM2003, WM5, WM6.1)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kuzibri:
If I understand you well, you want the start button of WM on top of the screen instead of the bottom of the screen. Right? If yes, you have to go back to an older WinMo version than 6.5.5, which is unfortunately not compatible with the latest Artemis Versions, who needs WinMo 6.5.5.

You can achieve this by downloading the official HTC 3.14 Rom with your S/N from the official HTC Wesbsite, but unfortunately after that you cannot install anymore the latest Artemis versions. It's whatever you want.

What's the problem of having the start menu of Windows on the bottom of the screen????

very best regards, Kuzibri
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ares93:
Nah, I just grew up with windows mobile 2002 and 2003 and I wanted to keep the layout. Its a habit I suppose.

I'll try out the stock rom and see which one i like more. Stock roms are usually rubbish, so i might just tolerate the bottom status bar instead.

Ta for the help, mate!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kuzibri:
Hi,

with the stock ROM 3.14 from HTC itself, you will have the start button where you want it: on top. But the latest Artemis ROM's will not work with that.

Hi Mikempower

Open your ICS folder and look at start.txt and make sure that the following line is there:set cmdline "rel_path=ICS nand_boot=0"

If it says Android then change it to ICS it will then boot into android and not WM

one other thing if there is another folder inside of the ICS folder called ICS then your need to remove one of the ICS folders. There should only be the individual entirs inside ie Haret.exe, clrcad.exe ect.

Hi mikempower

Go to Settings/Personal/Phone/GSM/UMTS Service and from there disable PIN/PIN2.

Other way is to find sim unlock fix in the Android thread and instal it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mikempower:
ok,this is my startup file:

set mtype 2524

set ramaddr 0x11800000

set ramsize 0x1e400000

set initrd_offset 0x00a00000

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "rel_path=hstr data_size=256 lcd_density=240 gps_zone=sg"

boot

### Leave cmdline as default if you don't know what you are doing ###

# default: set cmdline "rel_path=Android"

# sample: set cmdline "rel_path=Android data_size=512 lcd_density=200 gps_zone=us"

### Meaning of Variable ##################################################

# rel_path: folder name of the build	#

# data_size: size of data.img, 1024 means 1024MB	#

# lcd_density: default value for android is 240

# gps_zone: country code, us, fr, jp, etc.

### Leave cmdline as default if you don't know what you are doing ###

what i have to do?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] spetrie:
Change: set cmdline "rel_path=hstr data_size=256 lcd_density=240 gps_zone=sg"

to

set cmdline "rel_path=ICS data_size=256 lcd_density=240 gps_zone=it"

rel_path= you put in the name of the folder you saved your Android SD files in. From previous post you stated ICS folder

gps_zone= change to your country code, will make sat acquisition a little quicker on startup
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] serc:
can I change

this

set cmdline "rel_path=hstr data_size=256 lcd_density=240 gps_zone=sg"

to

set cmdline "rel_path=Andro\ICS data_size=1024 lcd_density=240 gps_zone=de"

most important for me

this

rel_path=Andro\ICS

because i dont want so much sub folders in on the root
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kuzibri:
Reading all the last posts to solve Mike's problem with the ICS Android version, confuses me. All the posted solutions are, yet right, too tedious (let it be clear, this is no personal offense, cause it can be easier!!!!!).

If you want to install the working Android version I posted to Mike (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?7q1trs6zobzgy1a), follow the followings steps:

1. Download the file from the thread (see link)

2. Extract the file on your desktop and you will get a folder with the same name

3. Copy this folder with WinMo explorer to anywhere on your SD Card

4. Go to the folder where you copied this folder and open it.

5. You will see a folder called ics

6. Copy/Cut this folder by using menu - options

7. Paste it in the root of your SD Card.

8. Download the PinCode fix from the thread on page one (see also attachment).

9. Extract this also onto desktop and copy (with WinMo explorer) the METAINF and system folders to \ics\root before booting the ICS version.

10. Open WinMo explorer and go to storage card\ics

11. Press clrcad (nothing happens) and thereafter on Haret

12. Android will be booted on your device. Let it boot and after that reboot 3 times to give it the oppotunity to build all the extra folders on your SD Card you need.

When these 12 steps go well, you have a fast running Android build, which you can customize the way you want with Settings/Rom Control and the Playstore/Marketplace.

Hope this information/"manual" helps everybody who wants to experiment with the best Android ROM for our beloved HD2:good:

Android on SD

Hello Kuzibri,

first thanks for your great guide!

But I have two questions concerning Android on SD with WinMo:

a) There are serveral programms which start Android with just pressing one icon (in WinMo). Do know the best of these little "Android SD starters"? Maybe you can add this to your guide?

b) When I shutdown Android, is the entire HD2 off or I am back on WinMo?

Thanks in advance!

question b is already answered by my dear friend SB2003. In addition to his answer, you can also do the following: long press power key and choose reboot and the HD2 will reboot to WinMO.

regarding question one: which programs are you pointing at? My advice to start Android properly would be: go to storage card\ics and press first clrcad en than Haret.

Android loader

I use the Exceller Multiple Build Loader for Android/Ubuntu

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=737001
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] RobE.:
Hi my friend Kuzibri. Let me step in and volunteer some info... These are practical little utilities. They consume no (real) resources... and I strongly consider an android/WinMo loader a necessity.

I've used them all. Both of those you've linked will do the job. The android loader by mskip, and the Exceller bootloader are similar but different. Try each or pick one... whichever seems easier for you to install. The point is to give a choice of default OS (which to boot), and a countdown delay to change one's mind on the fly.

I'll throw you a gentle curve... Here's a third choice. Rundroid ... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=973921. My personal preference; IMHO it's the most flexible, the easiest to install, and offers the most options. I have android boot by default, with a countdown delay of a few seconds. If for some reason I want to boot WinMo instead... it's one screen tap (when the bootloader appears). The reverse - of course - is also true...i.e., booting WinMo by default.

Regards,

Rob
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kuzibri:
Hi Rob,

if I were lehrerbuch, I would choose the Exceller one, cause it just replaces the functions of clrcad and Haret. Regarding myself: I use Android too little to install within WinMo an app to start Android (see earlier posts). For personal use, I use Android only once a week, for XDA purposes and to answer questions, I just start it the way I always do, but I will have a look into your suggestion. Who knows, maybe I'm going to use it :)

My friend, I live in android, but I'm not giving-up WinMo anytime soon. We all have our own ways of and reasons for doing things. Trust me (IMHO); You of all people - should be using Rundroid, because it's the only one... given a large enough SD Card; that will allow you to leave your ICT B36 (p)SR v1.1 installation pristine, unchanged & intact, while trying out 'other' or newer builds in different directories.

Read through the thread I linked. It's an easy installation and setup once you understand how it works.
