You can put haret.exe (our bootloader), startup.txt (bootloader script), initrd.cpio.gz (initial rootfilesystem) and the zImage (Linux kernel binary) into the phone's memory. These files are all loaded from within WinCE.

You can not put the large .ext2 file (containg the 'rootfilesystem' with android, ubuntu or whatever) into the phone's memory. This file must be somewhere, where Linux can access it.

We do not have a driver enabled that provides the Linux kernel with access to the phone's internal memory (aka NAND) currently. So this is impossible at this point.

cheers

edit: note: the rootfilesystem is like the thing called C:\ in your windows computer (just FYI)

Thank you!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcordes:
Here you have the full dose of detail. It assumes you are able to get to a command line with root permissions.

Every distribution of Linux has an 'app for this' included. ;) It is called "echo".

Type the following on the command line to set your CPU settings with it to

get into performance mode (automatic high clock):

get into powersaving mode (automatic low clock):

get into ondemand mode (automatic clock adaption to system load):

get into manual mode (set your own clock frequency):

find out what frequencies in MHz you can set (another app called 'cat' must be used here):

set your own clock frequency in MHz

Hope this will shed some light.

If you want to become a smart a** like me one day, just read the documentation of your operating system.

If ideal is a good combination of battery life and performance you might chose the ondemand governor.

If this is a HW limit, so why can I see this image in UBUNTU(on HD2) very well? I think it supports 16 million colors.

Just compare this image in ANDROID and UBUNTU:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slackersink:
Because it can extrapolate areas it can't show properly, pretty much faking the colors. I notice a difference in my HDR shots from on the computer and on my phone. Like when you drop the depth to 256 colors, it can diffuse the colors to appear to blend or find its closest match.

bit of a side note, but for all of you people out there having SOD issues try this out.

recently i got a sod and had to reset. every boot after that regardless i would get gray screens and sods without fail after loading android. finally after enough resets i got into android and what i did was hold the end call button down, shut down the phone from within android, booted back up and then ran haret.exe again.

since then i haven't gotten sods. all be it a couple hours, but still. i went from every time i booted into android to being able to lock and unlock just fine like before.

i'll post back if i get another one. oddly enough for three days or so i didn't get one even after i put the new zimage. then after locking the phone and removing the usb cord from my pc i sod'ed.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] digitalhater:
how about anyone explains in a thread named "Date - ultimate versions" the ultimate version available as of that date for the Android on HD2? It's really tiresome to search info on all these threads out there.

Thank you very much!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
Sure, here are two ways.. (I did not write either of these two posts)

1) Install it (from the Market I guess, but it was already installed for me. ) if you don't have it.

Edit: couldn't find it in the Market but it was already installed in dan1j3l Froyo v1.0 for me.

2) Download the new file. http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Android/libgps.so

3) Load Leo Parts, go into Quick Commands, Remount /System:

Tap Read-Write. This will allow you to replace the file.

4) Then use a file manager (Linda File Manager or File Manager) to copy the new file and paste into System/lib overwriting the old file.

5) Don't forget to remount the system directory as read only in Leo Parts.

6) Reboot Android (not sure if it's necessary).

# cp /sdcard/libgps.so /system/lib

- reboot

- voilá

so anyone who else have this problem, now u have two option to try =)

I used the second method and it worked fine, the first time connecting to the satellites took a while but it works good now.

I found these by searching GPS and libgps.so and this is what I came up with. Hope it helps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aenedor:
But the situation changes most days so would be a PITA to maintain...

Plus the process on deciding which build is more 'ulimate' than any other is subjective.

Now Cortulla has gifted his sourcecode to the community I think things will simplify a lot over the coming weeks.

For now the dated new / updated build posts in this forum are as good a guide as any.

Read the feedback replies posted and make your choice :)

Visit Cotulla's Site

I agree, this thread is becoming jam packed with all sorts stuff not making it too easy to follow the development. The first page is overloaded & probably one of the reason's why a facebook page was made for this project.

Anyways if you want check out Cotulla's site. It lists the latest source files (dated) http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Android/

I get permission denied when i type "su" in the terminal emulator?? anyone know what I'm doing wrong??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
Which build are you using? It sounds like you do not have root permission.

You will need a patched rootfs.img for your specific build. You can find them here:

Patched RootFS files (thanks to michyprima) to gain Root access to your Android Build:

DarkStones DesireV5 build - *HERE*

dan1j3l's Froyo V1 build - *HERE*

dan1j3l's Froyo with Sense PR1 build - *HERE*

XTarantula's Eclair V1 build without Sense - *HERE*

Usage: Copy the required file across to the right place on your Storage Card, overwrite the existing file. Load Android and thats it.

This information is on the first page, like most of the information you need

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
You are welcome, but the REAL thanks goes to the original posters of the process and to Cotulla for creating and uploading the files.

This is good information that I would like to see In the FAQ, but it is probably not necessary since the gps files are really for the devs and chefs to include in their builds. Then we will not need this information.

Battery level must still be very inaccurate or at some point last night my phone went into mega drain mode. When I went to bed my phone showed around 30% left.

I loaded up with the 8/3 zimage and dan's froyo early yesterday ontop of a fresh chucky WM rom and radio 2.10.50. i installed setCPU and away i went. everything went great (with a very acceptable day-to-day battery life and near perfect call quality) except for a few things: the GPS never quite kicked in, a few apps from the market gave me install errors (FB, Radiant), and then after my first restart of android the SOD came back. the backlight would turn on, but no image would come up.

would setCPU profiles cause the SOD or is this a zimage/build error? i can live with the rest of the issues.

You're welcome.

You can use this publicly editable wiki page to list android builds for hd2:

I finally got to download the Android Froyo 2.2 for the HD2, everything works great except for the app market, I can get in, but whenever I want to download something, there will be an error telling me "The download was unsuccessful" what should I do? should I re-download the Android port and do it over?

Try using/starting the 'Talk' app, it should activate a service that Market needs. This was something that I had to do once in a while on my Android phone to get it to download from the Market. Or restart. Maybe this will work for you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Chitown021:

SOD

For the most part everything works. Can let it sit for a while with screen off and it powers back on MOST of the time. I seem to be getting the SOD issue more frequently than before though. One of the solutions to this on the FAQ is formatting the SD card, does that really do anything? I don't see how reformatting the card would effect the SOD issue.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Annashmi:
Some games like hero of sparta, Dungeon hunter, and sandstorm are not working after installation I think they need more ram. How can I fix this problem, how much ram are we using here, and how can I make it more. Is true that zimage here using only 256 and not 380 or more
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] donkeypunch85:
Yes it can help. It makes the card read much smoother which can help Android to run smoother. Another option is to remove the files from your card then using a card reader re-load them into the SD via PC.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcordes:
Annashmi,

In the last cotulla Linux kernel binary (zImage) you get the old/low memory.

The git source code will let you compile a kernel image with the 380MB memory accessible. But then you lose all of the recent patches from cotulla like the battery driver, audio, etc.

I am currently working on merging all of the stuff together so you can get plenty of kernel images with lots of mem, stabled 3g data, good audio, and all the other new features enabled at a time.

cheers

Use darkstone froyo v.1.0. Here usb works. Apart from that in my opinion still the best ROM. Everything works smooth and fast, no stuttering as with other ROMS (mattc). FPS 27,1 in Neocore performance test = nearly as fast as a desire with a cooked in Android. Even 3D games as NOVA function smooth.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Agoattamer:
I have issues with the 8/03 zImage file. First boot (Darkstone froyo) with the new zImage and it loads fine. If I boot into android again it takes forever to boot and after the HTC logo it goes to a WSOD. No matter how many times I reboot I get the same result.

If I switch back to the 7/23 zImage android loads everytime with no SOD.

After loading with the 7/23 zImage I can then boot android with the 8/03 zImage file. But even after a successful boot at sometime the screen will go almost white (contrast issue?) and nothing fixxes it except for to soft reset the phone. Might have something to do with using a T9193??

I really like the call volume with the new zImage but the WSODs are driving me crazy. I can go days without a lockup with the 7/23 zImage. Almost seems with the 8/03 version, when it boots that it is going through some error checking process. Takes about 10 minutes or more before HTC logo then WSOD.

Guess I am staying with the 7/23 zImage for now.
