At the very least, that would be nice. The Devs would be able to work with a purpose build fully compatible version of android for the HD2, instead of starting from the ground up. And it'd already be a ROM version.

On the same note... not trying to burst anyone's bubble, since this kinda old news.

Not sure how good it is anymore since it's about 9 months back.

http://www.forbes.com/2009/10/28/google-verizon-android-technology-wireless-htc.html

Anyway, companies like this tend to not go back on their word.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bugarim:
Yeah they wont :/ If they were this big of a scoop would be all over the android community ( hd2 would be one of the best android gsm phones )..

But if they did, xda devs would prob drop this project and work over the other rom. It's easier to tinker over a complete rom than making all the drives and stuff =)

Had not read cavemaneca answear =p Btw, they did make the evo after what he said =)

is there any way to sync all your contacts from hd2 to android? because all my contacts are stored in my phone and not in the sim card.. I've read about syncing from social networks but not the stored in the phone.. if I do have to manually move my contacts to sim, how can I? thanks!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
I used Sprite Migrate (available in Android Market). There's 3 parts to it. One cab to install on MW device. Run it and it creates a file. 2nd part installs on pc, take file from step 1 and run it through the pc. Copy the converted file back to storage card. The 3rd step is to run Sprite Migrate on the Android device which then loads all contacts. Works well

the other option is of course to sync all contacts and calendar entries etc to Google and then sync these down to your device again.

Another good info from TP2 Android project.

It's working fine on Desire V5 with rootsf from Michyprima.

Value to be used in Set Custom tab : 310012 (thanks to Ludacrisvp)

It's just f***ing thr data connection until next reboot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] renegadEEE:
The problem here is that no one knows what's going on. Da_G clearly says what he's doing and what still needs to be done. People believe in the project cause they know how it's been done. Here not many people really believe that we ever gonna get a fully working version of android so people won't donate.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HD2Owner:
get yourself a paypal account and get your money out of your wallet instead of asking others to do so.....

I just donated something to dcordes for his work.

I will donate more as soon as i can use android on my hd2.

For now, all we can do is playing a video and watch kernel text flow...

@dcordes:

you will be one of the heads that made android possible on our hd2's.

you will receive many donations as soon as it's working.

so... we want to see it booting..

what do you need? still elan b81_3 datasheet?

why is there no progress since eight days?

word... we want to see every progress and what's needed/next steps. make it as transparent as possible and maybe list all donations (to get us a overview).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FrenchTart:
I've just donated 10 EUR. I'll donate more soon :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ElBartoME:
Same here. Just donated 10€. And more to come! I really want to see Android on the HD2. WP7 really disappointed me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnny88xxx:
I think that too. I also donated dcordes just so money for his work.

You take the words out of my lips ;-)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ozkaya:
hd2owner,

maybe you should direct another donation act ;) I would be the first to donate.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HD2Owner:
that would be no problem at all.. but:

dcordes only wants personal donations (no hd2-android-project donations).

da_g is providing us rollups of wm6.5.X and many info's tutorials.

he deserves many donations just for that.

besides that we gave him the possibility to work on porting wp7 (wp7-fund).

he is also providing very precise informations on what needs to be done

and he is giving us daily status updates.

i really have no idea of the current android project status.

dcordes only shows a changelog that most don't even understand.

@dcordes:

please provide us with precise informations about the current project status.

please show us what's still needed to get it working.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Drakknar:
dcordes, I'll send you a donation to say thanks for your effort, and I will donate extra money when the Android port will be done or will be at least in a functional state.

You know... What started to be an effort to port Android on our phones now is just a generic Linux thread. So the goal could be Ubuntu, MeeGo, Android, Debian, a simple command line interpreter or whatever else... Most of us are wishing to see an Android port sooner or later made by you guys, and right now we just don't know if you're focusing on that anymore :)

Da_G on his side clearly said that he wants to try to port WP7 on our HD2, what he needs, what he is going to do, what are all the difficulties that he is experiencing along the way and he always keeps us updated. Plus, as Blade0rz said, we know for sure that he is a man who delivers. And so, as everyone would love to have our dying OS updated with the latest and greatest WP version, we donated to the project even if we can't be sure that the port will ever work.

I think that if we could just have a clearer picture of what's going on in this specific project, what are the goals, what are the issues, etc., more people will donate as we'll understand what you guys are doing and what to expect from this project... A Debian, Ubuntu or GNU/Linux port, an Android port or whatever...

Just my 0.02
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
1) Most people won't donate for effort that they dont have tangible proof of. A Linux media player is nice, but it won't convince the average joe that Android is coming.

2) Da_G required equipment to be able to progress his work. You're just asking for personal donations.

3) Da_G is a man who delivers. We know that. For all I know I'll donate $50 and you give up the project tomorrow :)

Paypal

I tried to donate a few times but keep getting "You cannot use this credit card for this transaction. Please use another funding source.

* You will need to add and confirm your bank account. Once your bank account has been added and confirmed, you can continue this payment. Add your bank account information below."

I have no interest in passing my bank account details to paypal. I'm in the UK for work is this the cause of this issue?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] massradius:
I can get them for 350 US on craigslist. They've come down a lot. PM me and maybe I can send one over
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jaedolla:
the majority of the people will donate as soon as some type of android port is accomplished. I really dont care for a linux media player that doesnt guarantee an android port. I do appreciate all your hard work and effort, but I will reward when the object at hand is some what complete.

like every one has said android might not ever make it to our hd2. so why donate to something that we have no faith it will actually get accomplished...

.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HotShotAzn:
FIRST

You all need to understand that this is the chicken/egg scenario. Does dcordes start developing and ask for donations when its done? Or does he ask for donations as a motivation for developing? No one will be satisfied.

SECOND

Respect the man for what dcordes has done. Da_G has received lots of donations and therefore as a DUTY and OBLIGATION to update XDA with his progress. dcordes has not received nearly the amount Da_G has but has still produced results and provided updates.

THIRD

I would agree that we need requirements to see what the next steps are. If dcordes needs the data sheet to continue, than that's a requirement. Requirements drive projects (any guesses what I do for a living?)

Shoot, I'll even coordinate the project if you want. Gantt charts, critical paths, etc ;)

I wont donate to the WP7 project but I would to this in a heart beat. We wouldn't be this far with out dcordes and I'll stand behind him.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jorghd2:
Honestly I think its your own fault for not promoting donations for the project. If you really want people to donate, change the first two posts:

Provide

updated

pictures

of your work

Create a list of

things accomplished

and a

to do list

(in layman terms) that is updated as soon as something has been accomplished

And add something about you would highly appreciate any donations for the work you have done.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bigberta:
Obviously dcordes should have some money coming his way, but did he do everything so far by himself or are there more people who deserve donations for their work?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sultan1993:
Da_G didn't promise that WP7 will be working on our devices. He said that he needs 2 things to start working and people donated

Dcordes already did awesome work, Android is Linux, kind of, without Linux there would be no Android, that's why he is working on Linux first
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] canthonyza:
I think we can stop comparing donations between WP7 and Android.

WP7 is new. So it's exciting and to know that there might be a small chance that WP7 could POSSIBLY run on an HD2 has got people very interested.

Android on the other hand has been seen ported to other HTC Devices, so it will only make sense that members would wait to see proof of a running Android before their wallets are opened :)

Android on HD2 is inevitable now that we have a working Kernel thanks to dcordes! Big UPs to you ma man!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aceo07:
dcordes, and everybody else involved, thanks for all your efforts. What you guys do is certainly not easy and we're grateful you're doing it.

I'd like to believe that all the talented developers on this forum (and others) are/will be also recognized and highly rewarded for their skills outside of the forums.

I'm a little surprised by all the money raised for the wp7 porting too. (This was for all the hardware?) I guess a different approach and good timing (people itching for WP7 for some odd reason) make it possible. With those donations comes great responsibility and high expectations.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] anders_keis:

Hi all!

I have followed this android HD2 development close for some weeks now. And I must say that I love the progress, and it's close to a fully working system (GPS, PM and NAND are the missing parts in my opinion).

One thing I miss from my Desire though is the search button. Would it be possible to remap the dial (left most button) to search? The dial button is not very important (the Desire does not have on either).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ATomCZ:
And when I can get modified rootfs.img? I have installed Desire V5, but it has no root access. I tried now re-dawnload v5 from torrent and it is the same.

EDIT: I already found it, sorry for the question
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ATomCZ:
I agree this would be great, HW call button caused only non wanted call if I don't lock screen. Ideal would be use dial button also as trackball button (it is usefull for example in foto application). For example short push as trackball button and long push as search.

HD2 Robot Voice On Calls

Hello guys, so far I have tested both the Desire v5 and Dan Froyo roms with zimage 7-23. I must say both are fast and very stable. Charging, sleep, backlight, 3G, wifi, etc... The only problem I have is that I can not seem to get rid of the robot voice on calls. Which is why I can't use it as a daily phone. Is flashing to a custom rom the only way of fixing this problem. Would Hard Spl help? Thanks for any assistance. Keep up the good work devs. I personally think there has more effort and progress in the devolopment in Android port than windows mobile. :-):)

USB Host OTG

Did anyone tried USB host mode successfully on Android? I tried Toshiba TG-01 USB OTG cable (plugged it into HD2 before Android boot) but it never boots with this USB OTG cable plugged in. In WM, when I plug this USB OTG cable, it changes to car kit mode. Do I need to inject power first before booting Android or in WM?

Also, I find that a lot of irrelevant applications in Android wants or have access to personal information, phone call history etc. which is hard to understand as to why a flash light application wants to read personal information or even read phone call history etc..!! it is very weird and dampness the spirit to use this as a regular phone if even a flash light provider is encroaching such blatantly into privacy? How do you majority guys take it, very lightly or just ignore it?

Hello guys,

I followed the developement for the last few weeks and tested almost every build of kernel and rom. At the moment I think it is save to say: Desire V5 + latest Cotulla zImage is the fastest, stable and best working combination!

Btw: I had robotic voice using a 3.01 WM ROM. Now using RTT's newest 3.04 based ROM I have no problems with robotic voice on calls.

But I have a question:

Is Bluetooth headset already implemented? I can connect to my car, but I don't get any sound.

Try the new Rootfs img. Just copy/replace it into the android folder in your SD card. The link is floating around here in the last 20 pages. If you have a T-Mobile hd2 make sure your Apn name and actual Apn is the epc.tmobile.com

Dedicated Android forum for HD2

Just wanted to let everyone on here know about the NEW Android Forum for the HD2.

Last night I messaged Svetius to ask for the creation of an Android Sub Forum for the HD2 since the project is coming along at lightening speeds and we needed a place for people to post questions regarding Android without them getting lost in other forums.

This afternoon he has followed my recomendation and created a new forum specifically for Android Development *HERE* so now you can feel free to post and read posts all about Android.

PLEASE use the new forum responsibly and it will become a great place to develop Android on the HD2 and share thoughts and apps. Disrespect it and there will be consequences.

Thanks for all your help in making this thread a much better place to be and have fun in the new forum.
