Hard keys not working

I have had a similar issue with trying to use android.

I have a euro hd2 with 2_12_50_02_2, using chucky gtx rom, installed following task 29.

The rom seems to work well in windows with the problem of non-functioning hard key buttons in the WINMO also. It seems impossible to assign functions to the hard keys via the windows settings - only the send key option is displayed. The send key (green) button works fine for bringing up the dial pad and the end key (red) works fine also. The start button appropriately brings up the windows menu in this rom, though i have noticed that it does not work on other roms. Currently my home key and back key do not appear to do anything in the WINMO under chucky gtx rom!!

This presents no problems in WINMO as htc sense is easily navigated use touchscreen only and to be honest i never even touch the hard keys. However, this presents a massive problem in ANDROID - the android becomes impossible to navigate as I cannot ever go back or use the home key to get to the main screen. This is the same in sense or launcher mode.

I am using a clean fat 32 4gb class 2 micro sd, desire build v 5.7 from gamesquare and tried all the latest zimage files from cotulla and others but always the same problem. the send key is working fine but then i cannot get out of the dial pad. pressing the end key puts the sense in lock and screen off and i can long press this to power down but if i unlock then i am just stuck at dialpad or where ever i was when i locked. the windows key seems to bring up context menu fine and long press brings up key board in android. The home button does seem to wake from sleep sometimes i think, back button does not seem to work at all.

I have tried changing the rootcfs as well but this did not do anything. I had the same problem on FROYO build so im guessing it might not be an android problem. I am using JMZ dual boot on new rom installs without any other programs on windows or anything else other than android on the microsd.

I have not tried any stock roms to see if they solve the button issue in WINMO but cant really understand why they dont work so well in ANDROID or are they linked as android is ontop of windows?

Ihave found a workaround by installing "soft home key" app from market place which is helpful. but still looking for a fix. All very frustrating!!!

Searched everywhere on xda for answers to no avail. even googling for days!!!

PLEASE HELP. I think im not alone if above post is anything to go by
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HotShotAzn:
Yeah, I'm trying it with an extended life battery.

I took it out of the desktop charger, put it in, and booted Android. It shows it at 97%. I rebooted into WM, shows 100%.

If I connect it to a regular charger (so the phone charges it), it'll hit 100%.

Whatever, not a big deal to me, but you asked...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] makavelitha:
ok i've tested darkstones latest froyo build for one day now, this is the result

Positiv:

+ Calls working (good quality, no echo)

+ Ringtones Working (u need the media file from Darkstone)

+ Akku Charging via USB and AC Working (i've already charged it to 98%)

+ USB Storage Working

+ Wifi Working

+ 3G/UMTS/GPRS Data Working (but still with some problems)

+ Camera with Flash Working

+ G-Sensor Working (but i don't know if it works 100% precise)

+ Standby and Wake-Up Working (there was only 1x screen of death)

+ Compass Working (but it seems with wrong direction)

+ Hard Keys Working (but u can't end a call with the hang up key, this key seems to be only for standby)

Negative:

- Bluetooth not Working (but it was already working on other Android builds)

- Keypad Backlight not working

- LED's not working (the Green and Orange LED is only working on AC Charging)

- GPS not working (i know it isn't in the kernel yet)

- Camcorder not working (only tried it with the original HTC Camcorder)

- Ambient Light Sensor not working

- Contacts from SIM Card not working (but it was working in another older Android build, i can't remember which one...)

- Sometimes a bit laggy and slow because it runs from SD Card

Lame, I actually thought something had happened
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Stech1987:
any news...?

ps: i only want to say that my device has a 8250B processor too
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Drakknar:
Oh okay man, thanks for the clarification. :) When I read that I thought that the changes were already in the process of being integrated into the kernel (and that such a kernel could be used as a better base to port Android on our HD2 :) )

Somehow I don't feel surprised that msm7 support was dropped. Afaik mr. Torvalds like his kernel to be as lightweight as possible so probably he thought that msm7 or qsd* support wasn't mature enough to be kept in the kernel
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tsamolotoff:
Guys, on processor model - you can determine it only via QPST/QXDM or SKTools' phone info (which inquires the modem, which provides 100% real information).

Dcordes, is there any fb driver as of yet?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] OrionBG:
I've been thinking... is it possible (in general, not only for the HD2) to put the android rom inside the nand flash in place of the WM rom? With some kind of loader to start the linux kernel оf course!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zepiii:
Would it help if I know someone with a HTC EVO 4G ?

sadly no

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bartkevin:
i have the evo 4g @ work, only its CDMA only so that doesnt help very much
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cablekevin:
To my knowledge it isn't a problem loading into it and such, the problem is the drivers etc.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] miguel.netreg:
hasn't the DESIRE got very similar hardware to be able to leverage on drives, config, etc?..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ultimaex:
Questions?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Stech1987:
can you make a point of the situation? i don't understand what's the difference between android porting on hd2 and android porting to all the other windows phones (like diamond, hd, etc...), even if hd2 has an hardware more similar to new android devices like nexus, evo, droid incredible, desire, galaxy s, etc...

don't misunderstand me: i'm not criticising, i only want to understand...!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ultimaex:
Keep in mind that the old windows mobile devices needed like one year of development before the kernel was ready to run android more or less stable. Furthermore the development isnt done and many things dont work well on that devices, too. I speak about 8 hours battery life no gps, ****ty bluetooth and no camera.

We will need to wait some time before we will see the first running android package on hd2.

If im up to date the touchscreen driver for HD2 is still the biggest problem. Many other things seem to work well.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcordes:
Could a moderator please make the thread sticky?

It is annoying to see it moving back and forth in the forum as it is permanently active.

Hi I just realised I downloaded from the market a very useful tool, ho knows even for development its called android system info and tells you everything there is to know about your hardware ands software, mark can you add this one to the list, I don't think its in there yet. ;)

Today I noticed that while using Darkstones Froyo build, that the time kept on changing on me. I"d set the correct time and about 30 min. later it would show that the time is about 45 min or 50 min ahead of what the right should be. Anyone else having these problems? In the mean time I'm going back to Dan's rom. Maybe it might be my sd card, who knows.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattiebee99:
your phone may be working in a fast state. test the stop watch to see whether it is working properly. I suffered from this and had to use cotullas zimage
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kilroy672:
How do you test the stop watch? And which zimage do you use?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azazellov:
if u don't have one built in, look in the market for a stopwatch. I remember there's a stopwatch tab in the clock app but i think it's in the Sense version only and i use this zImage to prevent "turbo mode" :

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azazellov:
new gps lib....

I updated the gps lib in my froyo build, Im going to test it.

"BTW: you have to substitute /system/lib/libgps.so (on system.ext2) with the one from the previous link. Or wait for cooks to update ROMs :) "

Here's the link if anyone wants to test it....

Yeah there is little background noise and echo at the other end if you make a call but normal at my end with every rom I have tried.Also, the audio quality is not loud when you play the mp3.Lets hope they do something about this
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] flummie:
any dev or senior around?

new on Cutulla index:

libgps.so 28-Jul-2010 03:08 17K

any idea?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azazellov:
gps lib....

Read my post in the previous page, it's the updated gps lib, gps is finally working....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] flummie:
ive read ur post.. so.. what do we do with the files?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bestmodel03:
yeah what to do with them?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kcaj32:
Read the prev 2 pages again.

These are library files. Rom Chefs will take them and include it in their Roms. You can download the Roms later.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Breakthecycle2:
Normally you would push these via ADB, but with this type of Android setup, I'm not sure.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bestmodel03:
so we just wait for new realese from Darkstone
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] flummie:
yes... there lib files.. thats what i said so time ago.. but where does it say that the devs will convert them into roms??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] flummie:
hold the phone! found it! :) sorry..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RaiderX303:
you can push them with ADB to /system/lib, you may need to remount the system, you can only remount if the system is on an ext2 image, squashFS wont work as its a readonly image

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bangsters:
do we need to push just the .so file to /system.lib or also the tar.gz one as well? the tar.gz which folder should that go?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] grusy:
Just push the libgps.so to /system/lib
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aussiebum:
Just run the app, select "Autodetect Speeds", then select "ondemand" for the Governor dropdown and "Set at Boot" to have the settings applied on rom startup. Only works on a rooted rom of course.

It's working fine with Darkstone's build.

ok gonna switch to darkstone in a bit. my only concern is the camera flash being delayed since I use the camera often, hence using xtrarantula's.

anyway, thanks for the update devs.

second post is just the rar version so only a 64mb download.

Dont have account setup anywhere for download service so if someone else could host or post on the usual sites that would be good.
