Backlight

For working backlight, put your finguer directly over light sensor (at top left of the screen) at same time that you are launching Haret. Wait for "Init panel" text line on linux kernel boot with yout finger over the light sensor. After it you can use Android normaly with backlight workfing.

Sorry for my english.

Hi copualt3

What about running android on the phone rather than my SD card, because when I reboot, I get back to windows again. I'm definitely doing something wrong and I'm new to this.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Luka92:
How does this work exactly, is it just a folder on my sd card and when i want to, i open the .exe file or what? Does it save the last state, with all the changes i made on the android? What type of radio rom do i have to have? Does it need HSPL or SPL?

Thx :)

P.S. If you are going to ban me, for breaking some rule, because i see it is a very strict topic, pls tell me the answer first.. xD
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] copualt3:
per instructions...you will need at least a class 4 or better with 2 gigabytes of free memory so running it on your phone is a no go. also make sure your rom is 2.08 or higher. see post 3 for more rules.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] copualt3:
yes it's just a folder on your sd card. haret is an exe. see some more info in my post above this...it will save your last sate in android since the minimum 2gigs free on the sd card is required. you need rom 2.08 or higher. and i am on stock tmobile hd2 so no regular spl for me.

Continuous Text

Hi,

I have a problem, i am sorry if this has already been mentioned but forgive me for not looking through the whole thread for the answer

Problem:

I have downloaded the latest rar file and i have extracted the files to the device correctly, when i run haret,exe the screen turns black momentarily and then it boots into a test form with white text for about 5-10 seconds, then some lines appear on the side of the screen (left) and then more text begins to scroll. this then continues to scroll for a very long time (45mins + ) and then stops telling me that it cannot find the rootfs.img file, i have placed this file in the same directory as the haret.exe but to no effect

Help me please

Thanks for all the great work

Android 2.x Rom??

Does anyone know if they will successfully fix a android 2.x installation of a rom? cause i mean, that would improve performance and much much stuff,

I mean, it looks like htc hd2 has the most attention and fastest development in android porting history.. i hope it wont take 1 year for them to fix a rom with android, Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rexzooly:
Is you mean can you run it without windows I don't think this will happen, The HD2's CPU was not made for the androids strane I don't think I will ever become a supper Rom I think we more likey to see 7 Rom before we see a real Android rom, I could be wrong but they even changed the CPU in the evo to cope with android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sim36:
I loaded the

http://oe.netripper.com/files/Cotulla_LEO_Android21_HW3D_BT_WLAN_DATA.rar

on my HD2.

Loaded well. Alas, no sound. No Google Connection. Slaughtered the battery - 50 minutes 50%. No camera, no MArket.

Screen not as reponsive as I might expect. Looks

great

flows well. As you might expect, I'm new to Android on HD2 but I've played with the work being done here on Android for WM devices since my Diamond and HTC HD. Any suggestions on builds to play with are appreciated.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Incoherent:
Clear and Organized?

I am definitely a "noob", I will admit that.

But is there any thread or site that lays out what to do in easy to read steps?

This is all so exciting, but honestly it is a bit overwhelming on this site just because there are so many different threads for each thing you need to do, and soooo many posts within in thread as well! 385 pages is crazy! LOL I can't read them all!!

I tried getting Android 2.1 on my phone, it works sometimes, but it has constant flicker, EXTREMELY slow and delayed (like swipe a page and it takes 5+ seconds to change), and other things that are not present in the videos shown. Plus I blue screen about 7/10 times just booting.

I know I need to do a few things, change my radio rom to something, and change something else, and also start something else before I do HaRet.exe LOL (I feel like the ditzy girl who comes in the store asking for "That thing for the other thing?")

I am looking for something that has all the download links to all the files I need.

Step 1: Download this file

Step 2: Install this file

Step 3: Go into this setting>blah>blah>blah

Step 4: Change "bloopity" to "blappity"

etc. etc.

I tried searching other sites, and one of them has 5 steps, but it just says put HaRet.exe and run..it doesn't explain all the other steps!! LOL

If someone could PM a private message with this help, or direct me to a link with what I am looking for that would be awesome!!

x2. i had the same experience. Dan1j3l-LeoFroyo-1.0 is by far the most stable for me. however, i am using a class 6 microsd card 8gb..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mike infinity:
Great work!

I have downloaded the reccommended files from the OP. As others have noted, Android seems to work for a few minutes then I get a blank screen and a system hang. I tried the 3D version labyrinth (teeter)...awesome. Buttery smooth. Then my system crashed again. I can't seem to get wifi going either. Phone dials correctly and makes connection but no audio either way.

I'm not sure if the HD2 hardware is tweaked for android but it sure seems to run at a snappy speed now. (at least for a few moments). Thanks for this. I will continue playing with it. I know that I, for one, would be willing to donate for a stable version.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] erick10:
I also think that Dan1j3l-LeoFroyo-1.0 is the most stable of all. I am using an 8gb class 2 micro sd and It is very smooth and stable but my scrolling is not on point where I access the programs/apps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ryan562:
do your speakers work on froyo? i have read some mixed results on this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] erick10:
Bro just download Dan1j3l-LeoFroyo-1.0 build. Extract the android folder and copy it to your Root of your SD card. It helps if you use an SD card that has a CLASS 4 or better. Class 2 is said to be slower.

Please post Android/Froyo builds in .RAR format only

I would like to request to developers to please post their any new builds in .RAR format only because .7Z format doesn't open on HD2's native WM OS and sometimes you would like to download the new Android/Froyo biuld directly to your HD2 and extract the same on HD2 on the go over 3G/WiFi on HD2. All biulds uploaded in .7Z format requires you to be in front of PC to extract it on PC and tranfering it to HD2 via PC. This is a big put off while on the go. I have tried all options to open .7Z on HD2 (in WM OS) and it has failed.

My 0.02

-winmo 6.5 is garbage. Quite unintuitive. Buttons everywhere that all have Basically the same functionality. How did ms keep in business why selling this junk? (/end rant)

- I appreciate All of your work here on android for the HD2. I also agree with the above post that I would like to replace my winmo with android.

- I am currently running it on a 8gb class 6 card and a 16gb class 2 card. theres is almost no difference between them.

Now why there will be a full port to the hd2

Nexus One vs HD2

*Both have QSD8250 Snapdragon 1ghz processors

*Both have 512mb of ram

*Both have 512mb of rom

(cant find the information about the gpu)

Finally with Android 3.0 out in October, the hd2 matches every requirement.

Bottom line: Thank you!

(I am a little excited for the winmo 7 port, but not nearly as I am for android)

First of all, THANK YOU do the developers, your hard work is much appreciated by all of us.

Okay, now I have a couple questions here.

Linux seems to be the reason it's running now, is there a way to pull that out later on and dual-boot as WM 6.5 and Android 2.2 without going through Linux for Android?

Most of the guys working on this seem to be European, will there be a big problem in making a ROM version for the TMOUSA HD2 that has the 1024mb ROM and 576mb RAM?

Some Italian guys seem to have made some progress, there was an Engadget article about it today, how does this affect the XDA team here and their work?

In a week when I get back home from vacation and tell you guys what happens with Android on my phone (if TMOUSA version won't die from taking the Android pill. Tell me if I just plain shouldn't try it.)

Once again, thank you to all devs, your work is appreciated.

Can somebody tell me - is there any solution with backlight which everytime is on and freezing when trying to turn display off? Im running T-mobile HD2 official rom, radio 2.10
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dangerously:
The videos are the work from the developers here... Why do you think that there is another team from Italy competing with our XDA guys? Anyone can make a video to show off stuff. The first video shows the Desire Build V3 from darkstone's site. The second video is dan1j3l's Froyo build.

There will be no problem with the Tmobile USA devices running Android. You can do it now. The only thing that needs to be changed (as with every custom ROM) is the way to address the NAND flash space. That is the only difference with your device. The guys are aware of that and it will be worked on when they decide it is time to write code for NAND access (physical flash to device, no more WinMo). As for memory, all HTC HD2 devices have the same memory size. Don't read the specs, as it is hidden on Euro/Ausie devices. The T-MoUS radio (and a hack or two) unlocks the hidden memory for us.

Linux is the reason for Android... With out Linux, no Android. It is like saying "now that we have a car, let's remove the engine". As for dual-boot, it is not possible as the size of both are too large to fit in flash memory. Now you might be lucky owning a T-MoUS HD2 due to the 1GB flash size but you are the smaller group of users so the current dev team may not look into putting in the effort. Besides, if you are running Android 2.1 (Eclair), there will be no room to install your apps. 2.2 (Froyo) on the other hand, you can install your apps on to your memory card...

Disable auto backlight in WinMo first then launch HaRET.

infos of the 3 builds

okay so I managed to download all 3 builds.. froyo, v3 desire, and cotulla.. and here's what I get..

TMOUSHD2 version. original stock

ROM: 2.10

Radio: 2.08.50

sd card memory : 1gb

FROYO: everything works perfectly except the camera.. yes the mic works and you can recieve calls as well.. same as messaging.. 3g some what works.. (web browser really slow but market works). very very stable, haven't froze on me or anything similar to that. by far the best working android build.

Time used: 5+ hours and no freeze whatsoever. however this build has the most chance of getting a green screen when you boot up.

DESIRE V3: very similar specs to the froyo version but mic doesn't work.

meaning no calls.. however messaging works fine.. 3g works beautifully.. as in same speed as your regular browser. no camera. however the screen like home etc etc is somewhat choppy..

Time used : 2+ hours no black screen or anything similar.

COTULLA: exactly the same specs as the desire v3. however the screen works with no lag.. also 3g is similar to the froyo build.

Time used : 2+ hours no black screen or anything similar.
