Anyone else having any problems with the alarms in the new FroyoStone? I can set it just fine, just when it goes off there's no way to snooze or dismiss it except for yanking the battery out (which works very well :D)

I'd say delete your data img and start over. I've been using this since the day he released it. the alarm works great. I don't know what to tell you. I do know that if you have any unknown problems when setting up, you will have strange issues. The same thing happens with wm roms. So I would start over again and test.

I can no longer get Android to boot...

Been having a problem the last couple of days. It started Sunday night when my screen went black and was unresponsive, so I did a reset and from that point it wouldn't boot into Android. Since then I have tried several things to try and resolve the issue.

1. Put the latest HSPL on my HD2 and a new ROM (ChuckyDroidROM) - No success

2. Formatted my SD card and put the previous build on (Darkstone 7th Aug w/sense - No success

3. Formatted my SD card and put a new build on (Shubcraft 10th Aug) - No success

The different builds had different errors or at least different manifestations of errors, Darkstone would get to the white HTC screen turn black and reset. Shubcraft would go through all the "script?" and the last message displayed was [192.821168] Rebooting in 5 seconds... Then would reboot and have not been able to boot into Android since Sunday, which is kinda gutting because it was flippin' brilliant.

So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I can't say I have found anything on this subject in this forum but I tried :-)

I've installed the FroyoStone build v1 (as of 7'th aug 2010) WITH Sense :-) and it works really really nice! Like 16 hours between recharge, gps is flawless etc...

A few problems...

I've been experimenting with Android on my HD2 and have been loving it, even using it to help other Android users. However I have a couple of problems preventing me from using it on a daily basis.

1) Robot voice - everyone says that you need to re-flash the phone with a custom ROM. However I absolutely, positively CANNOT afford to create a $500 brick. Is there any possible way to correct this issue without a custom WM ROM?

2) Slight chipmunk effect - when playing media files (video or audio) the playback is slightly accelerated, giving a chipmunk effect. This is not turbo mode - the system time stays perfectly in sync with real time. Anyone run into this or have a solution?

3) Flashing during video playback - sometimes I'll see the entire screen flash during video playback. The video then continues normally (except for effect #2).

If anyone has a solution for these issues, I'd really appreciate it. I'm currently running a TMOUS HD2, with radio 2/10, the Desire V5 build and an 8/3 zimage downloaded from Cotulla's site.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
At this point you will have to flash a custom ROM to fix robot voice. It is not that difficult, i was weary of doing this at first, but it was pretty straight forward and I have no adverse affects

I had this same setup as you. The chipmonk audio is still a problem for most if not all. Screen flash during video, I have not noticed this as of yet.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] imrazor:
Plain vanilla TMo stock ROM. I am very wary of flashing my HD2, as I can't afford to replace it if I brick it. I got the HD2 as part of a new contract, and I can't pony up full price for anything even half way decent. I think I have an old jailbroken iPhone 3G with a cracked case I could fall back on, but that would be suboptimal.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mccmjoon76:
Ok.. Thanks for the info :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
I know how you feel. If flashing a new ROM is a no-go, then waiting for a true fix is the only option. I'm sure these genius devs will figure it out eventually.

But, I installed HSPL3 and simply flashed a new radio. So I dont have a custom ROM anymore. I tried Miri'sV17 ROM but didn't care for the graphics. I switched back to a stock ROM and changed my radio. This works for me.

I suppose flashing anything on your device is a no-go? Not just a ROM?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Chitown021:
I was in the same boat. Originally I was going to stick with the stock rom until a flashable droid rom was developed for fear of bricking my phone (I also got an HD2 as part of a new contact).

I was so impressed with android and the ability to actually run apps that I finally took the plunge.

I researched the forums for info and honestly the awesome devs here have made it extremely difficult for someone, even a noob like me, to screw up so bad they brick their phone.

On my first few attempts after installing HSPL3 I made some mistakes while trying to flash a new rom but my phone always revered back to stock.

Now that I've installed energy rom and 2.12.5.2_2 radio all of the droid builds I've tried have worked great except for the known issues as outlined by the devs.

Setcpu

The best way to fix battery consumption issues is to use setcpu. Dcordes and others have provided detailed instructions on how to set it up so you have minimal drainage.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] imrazor:
The only thing I'd be willing to flash my phone with would an official update from T-Mo, since that presumably wouldn't void my warranty. If there's an update from TMOUS that would fix the problem, and I could still make a warranty claim if something goes horribly wrong, I'd do it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 11calcal:
Even if you did make an error its actually v.easy to revert back to stock rom and the process of flashing is very simple once you read up on things so the warranty would still exist. I took a while before taking the plunge,but I'm certainly glad I did and the whole thing only took @½hr from start to finish-even if you didn't want Android I would suggest doing it
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] imrazor:
Well, once the devs get the kinks out of the Android builds and kernels I may flash an "official" XDA Android ROM onto the phone, if it solved the robot voices and other problems. That's assuming that a significant number of people didn't run into problems bricking their phone. It may be best for me to wait and see. Also, I may have enough moolah to afford a replacement in the coming months. I would like a full-time Android phone Right Now(TM), but it looks like I'll have to cool my heels for a bit.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 11calcal:
Robot voices are gone now with custom roms. Read up on rom dev " how to flash for noobs" and give it some thought. You wont brick it & its really easy,I had reservations but took the plunge ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
Indeed, but if something did go horribly wrong :( you can ALWAYS go back to stock and you are able to delete all traces of any mods you have done. Thus, maintaining your warranty.

If you do decide to Install HSPL3 and flash a custom ROM with a good radio, you will be VERY happy you did. it will take about 20 minutes to do, and going back is even easier.

Think about it :) and good luck.

Issues with new zimage files released on 8/11

I would like to report some issues Ive encountered with the new zimage files running on Metleo build.

1. with the "zImage-htcleo-latest" I was able to boot up the android after running clrcad and then haret. However, wifi does not work and said error when trying to run it.

2. Ive also tried "zImage-htcleo-usbhost-latest" on the metleo build and it just freezes. Had to reset it by taking out the battery.

3. Currently using "Cotulla_zImage_VOLUME_SR_AUD" with the Metleo build with no major issues noted. More stable then the zimages mentioned above.

1) You have to replace bcm4329.ko file in your /system/lib/modules folder for wifi to work. Via Android SDK adb command or by remounting /system read/write from terminal. Download from: http://htcleo.noobhands.net/manusfreedom/?C=M;O=A

2) You need to have correct startup.txt to boot.

Try replacing these in your startup.txt

set ramaddr 0x11800000

set ramsize 0x1e400000

If you don't know what above means, don't bother and wait when someone packs new files with a new build.

Fantastic! It is good to see that these patches will be added to the, as I call it, "official" kernal. There is nothing worse than trying different kernals everyday, searching through multiple threads, adding and patching all willy-nilly, just to find one that works. Too many cooks in the kitchen...

No, there can never be too many cooks, as long as all cooks share the recipe ;)

I hope to see all future improvements added to this kernal, so I can just check one place for the most up-to-date build.

WIFI FIX for new ZIMAGE. (if you get wifi error)

Three different methods for replacing bcm4329.ko (which makes wifi work) Method B seems to be the best.

Easiest: (uses winmo, does not use third party app or commands)

A) (MAY ONLY WORK FOR SHUBCRAFT BUILD) Under winmo, create a folder named root inside your Android folder in your sdcard. This folder named root will be the actual root when Android boots up.

For example:

Create this folder structure under winmo:

STORAGE CARD\Android\root\system\lib\modules

and copy the bcm4329.ko file in it. It will look like this:

STORAGE CARD\Android\root\system\lib\modules\bcm4329.ko

Boot Android and the file gets copied to the protected Android file system. (/system/lib/modules)

If you do this from within Android, reboot to take effect.

B) Start a Terminal Emulator within Android. (Install a terminal emulator from market if not already installed) Copy bcm4329.ko to sdcard root beforehand. Filename has to be all lowercase. Enter these commands:

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

cp /sdcard/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules

you should get no response and wifi should work immediately.

you may want to make system readonly again with command

mount -o remount r /system

Delete old bcm4329.ko file if it exists at /sdcard/Android/root/system/lib/modules or it will come back on next reboot.

C) Use a third party app like Root Explorer, Droid Explorer, Root Manager, ES File Explorer and copy the bcm4239.ko file to /system/lib/modules which is mounted in read-write (RW) mode.

(DROID EXPLORER RUNS FROM WINDOWS XP/VISTA/7 and uses adb. No reboot required. Others run from within Android)

You can do A, B OR C. You don't need to do them all. Method A had only been tested in shubcraft v1.2b build.

As a fourth way you can use adb command that comes with android sdk. install usb drivers from within android sdk and connect your hd2 with usb debugging enabled. commands are same with terminal just put adb in front of it and run from folder adb is in.

If you copy an incorrect version of bcm4329.ko that is not matched to your zimage kernel wifi will say error and not work.

You can also WAIT for a new build that properly includes these files already to come out.

You can get bcm4329.ko file from http://oe.netripper.com/files/htcleo_autobuild/modules-htcleo-latest.tgz

Open the tgz file with winrar or similar program. The bcm4329.ko file is under lib\modules\2.32.xxxx\kernel\drivers\net\wireless\bcmxxx
