New Mattc build

Im pretty sure majority have already picked out their favorite Android build for daily use. But for those of who are still kinda going back and forth betwn different builds I recommend the new Mattc build http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=736545.

Majority of the issues are fixed and it includes the newest kernel and .ko driver for wifi (so no need to manually place the bcm.ko file to /system/lib/modules folder)

Battery life is definitely great with following Setcpu setting I have:

1. Main tab:

883/245 on demande

set on boot

2. Profiles

a. batter <50% 768/245 on demand priority 100

b. temp>50.0 Celcius 768/245 on demand priority 100

c. Screen off 245/245 on demand priority 100

d. battery <25% 652/245 priority 0

3. Adance

a. sampling rate: 20000

b. up threshold 30%

c. Ignore 0

d. Powersave bias 0

Set on boot checked

With the setting I still have about 93-95 percent left on battery (non-aggressive usage during 5-6 hrs time frame).

Replacing the PPP rootfs file with this rmnet roofs: http://www.multiupload.com/MOZ9UZKFJF

the reception and the data connection, not sure if i am imagining, got better and faster. I get reception at places where I normally dont with other builds.

(although Matt indicated to do it only if you have connectivity issue with PPP, but i still did it anyway and that's what I found out)

Good additional gadgets:

ChompSMS Very nice app for sms!! 10/10

dxTop for customizable home screen 10/10

Thanks for reading

I have same problem, the bottom keys are dead, only the Power button works.

But USB is still not working for me with this latest zimage and modules, on ubuntu 0.2 usb works nice on my hd2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tknudsen:
Oh that irony LOL..

Ok, so if I now want to have the latest zImage, I just paste it in when the android is finished with the setup and all checks ok, or is it better to wait for a new build to be released that has the new zImage?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
I'm with you, this ROM is freaking awesome!

thx for the setCPU settings, just entered them in, let's see how my battery does.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dneto:
Same here. :D

Once imported modules, can I revert? :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Agoattamer:
You have to copy over the zImage file to the Android folder before you start android. Also the last few zImages have issues either with charging or the hard buttons not working (last 10 of 15 posts say this). Also you will have to copy other driver files over using a more difficult method and change your startup text as indicated by another response to your post earlier. As you are having much issues installing, and have not read the first post of this thread which answers your questions, it might be a good idea to wait for an updated build. Newer zImages do not have that much to gain since this release.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tknudsen:
But a new kernel will? Is there any guide to install a new kernel?

I the first post there is, but it says I need to go into the GNU and do a normal tar on the file and mount, but I cannot seem to find anyware to log into the linux terminal

So my question, is this done in Linux?

I am pretty sure that a new kernal is most awarding, but if I am not mistaken that is either in zImage or rootFS
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] josias16:
buttons not working

I have a question, everything was working fine on my android until i installed the new zImage......the problem is that the new one made all of my buttons stop working...is there a fix to this or wat?

im talking about the volume button, home, menu and call button...the only one that works is the lock button and the touch screen works too

Android: shubCRAFT 1.4d

it like stays active if im using it but only for a bit then if i put it on standby it just loses service lol i rather have my phone service 24/7 rather than android T_T
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] miyamoto1027:
That would be zimage and the bcm.ko files I believe. Then this is what need to b done:

From my experience the zimage is self explanatory just replace with the older one. You r able to extract the .ko files by using rar or 7z program (if u don't know what 7 z is just Google it, often times its ur best friend). note: I had to unzip the file twice to have the folder extracted. Then go into the folder and copy and paste the bcm.ko, tune.ko, and yaff.ko to the root of the SD card(don't remember name of those files specifically but u will know when u see them). Then just follow method b at the first page of the forum to place .ko files. Or just spend a little money to get root manager as its faster way to do it I find. Hope that helps.

but after over 90% charging become slow and device temp become normal

is that normal?

this is after my experience charging several times using new kernel

thanks

and with newest build using PPP data routing seem not really good, using shu8i 1.4d connection icon there but cannot access internet.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] naeem151287:
I've looked everywhere for the solution and it seems I am the only one with this problem. I've faced this problem only while running the Desire builds. The problem is when I leave my phone for a while, it shuts down on its own and reboots into Windows. This happens randomly and I've not been able to figure it out. First I had the problem with FroyoStone v1 and now with Mattc 1.6b. Anyone else facing this problem?

I've used different radios and ROMs as well. Could this be some thing related to the SD card? I am not so sure since it never happens in WinMo. Phone cannot be overheating as well since it reboots on idle and not while I am charging or using it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fivefingerdeathpunch:
i would agree. same radio. dans v1 froyo, kumars gtx 2.5
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcordes:
why would you want to edit cpu things ? I recommend using git kernel. It has save clock voltage settings etc within the specified limits.

nothing about these things changed in git recently.

please explain what you are connecting.

10 sec freeze on sence froyo by darkstone

Hi,

Sometimes the screen freezes for about 10 secs on my hd2.

Running the latest zImages and latest modules.

Anyone else experiencing this or just me?

Cheers,

freabe
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Agoattamer:
I like others are about to scream if one more person posts about their screen freezing. This has to be mentioned on at least every page of this thread. Does not anybody try to read at all?? :mad:

Disable screen rotation in your android's settings. It is a bug with the g-sensor on all builds. I know, I have tried all builds.

And before someone else asks why they get a rootfs error on their second boot of android....read the readme file that came with your build. When you extract the build if it extracts to an android folder then copy the android folder to the root of your card. Don't just copy the files inside the android folder to the root of your card.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Agoattamer:
Read the first 3 posts of this thread. Info you will find is how to get the newest zImage. How to update the drivers for the zImage. And what to change your startup text to.

If everyone read the first few posts of this thread then this thread would only be 25% as long.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcordes:
Hi all,

eventually

You're welcome

Please read the kernel upgrade instructions in post #3 carefully, thanks.

In case you updated your kernel please double check the process and see if you installed the modules correctly. See post #3.

Problem about WiFi tethering is you need to have a WiFi driver that can handle master mode (act like an access point). We have a known working driver but we didn't push it to git yet. I will update you once it's done.

You are able to regulate backlight in non-android userspace like ubuntu, meego, etc. after installing the GNU/Linux zImage and modules.

In that case -whatever todays rom may be- you are not using the latest kernel. Please see post #3 to install the latest Linux kernel image and modules.

Yes buttons are back to normal. zImage-latest will give you normal button mapping, zImage-usbhost-latest will give you dpad mapping. During the process of adding the optional dpad mapping something went wrong but that is fixed now.

cheers

I'm running shubcraft 1.4d. After updating to the latest kernel and modules I booted into android fine but after changing the brightness down the phone went into sleep of death. Upon booting android now after the cyanogenmod screen appears the phone goes into the sleep of death. I tried moving deleting android of the SD card and putting it back as well as formatting the SD card. Any other suggestions? I'm certain the phone is sleeping to death and the brightness isn't just very low because I tried calling it. Also updated radio to 2.12 from 2.10 and it didn't help.

g2 build

I tried searching the forum but wasn't able to find if the question had already been asked. But I was wondering if there would be anyway to get the new G2 build ported over for our HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcordes:
Yes, since it uses the same ARM version. Question is where is the advantage. Of course marketing suggests you each new device has the best-polished-super-modded-extra-android.

Fact is this device is more different from the Leo than the machines we steal from now (supersonic, bravo, nexus) so it will add more work to get things going smoothly.

Of course you can cherry pick bits and pieces you like from the UI and add them on a different code base.

My aim now is to establish a unified Android codebase for Leo, based on the most recent google code. All the source code will be publicly viewable and everybody will have the possibility to check in contributions.

Just like for the Linux kernel code we are using now on the Leo.

The reason is there are way too many builds around. And the documentation situation is questionable in most cases. This confuses users and prevents cooperation between developers. Problem is not many seem to view the situation from this point of view so I will have to do it on my own.

cheers
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Chitown021:
Thanks for all of your hard work and your willingness to answer our questions Decordes. I think I've finally got the procedure down for upgrading zImage files. I was getting frustrated b/c I kept losing wifi w/ each change but it was user error (wasn't upgrading the .ko files along with the image).

I am looking forward to the next version of Froyostone and will be ecstatic when a NAND version of android is released.

Thanks to this site and the brilliant work of all of the devs I am getting so much more value out of my HD2 than I ever thought.

Honestly IMHO I could live with WM 6.5 (esp with all of the available custom roms that remove the bloat & improve performance) but the complete lack of quality apps killed it for me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Apache0c:
Sounds like a fantastic idea. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. You are laying the groundwork for continual development and improvement for the HD2 that will affect the day to day lives of hundreds if not thousands of people.

My biggest fear in buying this device was that the constant flood of new devices would cause developers to loose interest in the HD2 before Android was fully developed for this particular device.

But I felt like the form factor and hardware feature set of the HD2 at a $99 price point would remain competitive for long enough to hold sustained interest.

Your efforts are encouraging because I think this device could last me several years easily based on the hardware quality and now it appears that the software will be keeping up.

So again, hats off to you sir.

I haven't used the 8/28 kernel, but I have had this problems with some widgets that control brightness. One was quick settings, when you turn it down it doesn't not leave a minimum backlight and instead turns it off completely, so you can't see anything even though everything is still running as normal. Don't know if they're related but it happened long before 8/28.

My keypad lights dont turn on either but i dont think its supported yet anyways.

All if not most of your issues have answers and they are on post #3
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Apache0c:
Keypad lights DO work correctly in Mattc's build 1.5b.

I think they work in the newer build as well but 1.5b is the only one of his that I've tried. It's also the first build where I've been able to get everything working that is needed for day to day use. I'd say it's about 90% complete if I had to guesstimate from my limited knowledge.

I used Darkstone Froyo Series Aug7 before that and I would guess that it was 85% complete as far as having everything working.

But yeah, before you come in here crying "please help me" you'd better of read every single word of every thread on this topic. I'm not super smart and I havent asked for help even once. I just sit my tail down in my chair and read.

After trying 6 different Android roms and changing my winmo rom and radio, I'm at the point now that I'm not going to upgrade again until I feel like another major breakthrough has been made since I am now using it as my day to day operating system. Havent seen winmo in a couple weeks now, thats how well it's working.

And thats how good the xda developers are at what they do. Cheers to them.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sydneybelinda:
Actually It's not as simple as you think... I had the same problem eveytime I tried to extract the modules it would open up WinRAR and just extract a single file rather than the directory structure.
