Ok, This is to any one who has questions.

I have been running android without any problems since the 6th.

Been using Cotulla's build and haven't had any stability issues.

Just switched to dan1j3l-LeoFroyo-1.0 and the zImage from Cotulla that was released on 7-19-10.

Every thing is working except for the gps.

When hooked up to my laptop, in WM i put the computer to sleep, then ran CLRCAD twice and then haret.

Charging works.

Back light works

Hardware keys turn off in stand by and sleep!!

LCD shuts off in sleep.

Sleep seems to work good. 5% loss over 75 mins of it being in a sleep state.

Camera works, would like to have more settings tho ;)

Auto rotation works

Phone calls work

3g works

Wifi works

Sound is normal, albeit a little low.

Downloaded 18 apps and have live wallpapers going, music going and still stable.

Feel free to ask me anything regarding what i have on the phone.

Also a question to you all, what is considered a good donation? JW

Im just glad HTC hasn't seen this thread(im sure they have;))and made their own android version and had it up for sale. with their own support and backing im sure they could do it inside of a week and be making lots of money on this.

If it wasn't for the developers, we would be lost,they are the ones who have made this happen, worked long hard and stressful hours/days, possibly upset wives and kids, friends and coworkers, just to be able to do it, and make it available for us. IT ALL SHOULD GO TO THE DEVELOPERS HERE!!!

These are my current specs and hopefully this will help people with issues.

USA TMOBILE HD2

HSPL2, I know HSPL3 is/has been out and is recommended, but is there any advantage in using it, i don't want to change if i don't need to

Radio 2.10.50.26

O.S. 5.2.21908 (21908.5.0.93)

Manila 2.5.20161332.0

Energy.Leo.21908.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.16 (absolutely love the energy roms, always updated and he includes the program to back up all settings making the update flashes a pleasant experience)

i ALWAYS TASK 29 before all roms!

CLASS 6 8gb sd card with 6gb full (original 16gb card sucked and lost sucky replacement sd card.

Have not formatted sd card between any of the different android roms, and currently have ubuntu on it as well working with my wireless keyboard and mouse. Have yet to find a working usb network adapter that works

resolution is limited to 3Mp, do you confirm?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Julian2103:
interesting. i have the new zimage as well as the froyo 1.0. After flashing new image, i feel the only thing that has changed is the accelerometer. other than that, hardware keys still remain lit when i put device to sleep and orange led shows. And I think there is no sound.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
I'm sure I read somewhere in this thread someone complaining that the end key in a call put the phone into standby instead of ending the call. This is an option in Settings -> Accessibility. Tick 'Power Button Ends Call'.

The only things that need sorting now are:-

- Charging as normal instead of having to charge in WM or run Haret with USB connected.

- Power management improvements - there is still a slight warming of the device when playing a game or if the backlight is on for 10 minutes+.

- Video recording - currently hangs the camera app if selected.

- Hard button backlight needs to be set to only be on when screen backlight is lit. This is a very small issue though.

Once the first two issues are addressed this will be an OS that can be used 100% of the time in my view. The 3rd and 4th issues are merely niggles.

Kudos to all the developers, looking forward to the next Cotulla zimage.

As a question.. Is USB syncing working? Not much point using it if I can't sync mny contacts...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] acessford101:
Did you remove all the files created by android before u used the new zimage? I removed all the files in the cache folder, folder called android and bascially anything that would not be there when you first copy a build on to the sdcard.

On first boot, the lights stayed on but on second boot they turned off.

Wifi and Marketplace; no reliable connection?!

Is anyone able to download and install apps with marketplace and wifi? I've got wifi working and marketplace still gives an error for not having a reliable connection!? I've read some posts about downloading and installing succesfully onto storage card. It seems not a lot of people use this as I don't see a lot of posts about it..

Great work with desire v4. I love this new OS. So many great apps compared with WM6.5 and much more user freindly.

I have a question for you all though becuase I don't see it talked about much.

What kind of battery life are you getting from andriod?

Currently getting around 7 hours out of andriod with very lighth use. compared to 40 on windows mobile with regular use.

If I have it fully charged going to bed it is always dead by the morning.

Is this the same for everyone else?

Just for confirmation here, are you talking about the hardware button LEDs or the screen backlight? If the buttons, are you saying the backlight on your buttons goes out when you put the phone into standby?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elgar:
Hello, I am new to android, but still decided to try it out. I have used Extra Smooth Cotulla android set. It started ok, but I couldn't get the phone out of sleep mode (after pressing the power button the phone didn't come back to life). I also couldn't find an option to change the keyboard language in the settings (I managed to switch the phone system language to Russian, but no success for the keyboard). What do I need to do to solve these issues?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Julian2103:
Good question. What I have been thinking about exactly. After the new zimage, the screen backlight goes off but the hardware button LEDs stay on. As well as the orange led.

This is my first post here.

I am using dans froyo + cotulla zimage.

My question is

1. How to get root access.

Second there are 2 limitations of android os.

1. Apps dont install to sd card. for this I want root access.

2. I want to access my adhoc network, which all phones can to but android cant.

For this I mounted system.ext2 using linux using mount command and edited config files in wifi directory, but still no success.

After I mounted system.ext2 and made changes, i again generated modified system.ext2 using genext2fs command. Changes were successful and android is running fine. Am again going to try to get root and implement adhoc and activate apps2sd... leoparts is apparantly not being able to. My sd card doesnt have ext2 partition.

I am very new to android so will appreciate all feedback.

Again my question is

1. how to root

2. how to use app2sd

3. How to use adhoc wifi

4. Which is better, dans froyo or desire 4.

once this is implemented our device will be better than original nexus even!

If I am successful, I will post a step-by-step here as well as system.ext2 and or other files.

Thanks

What build and zimage are you using? Im using froyo and coutellas laitest zimage. Its charging, sleeping, and both the screen and keys turn off. :)

If you are also using the same, try either removing all the files that are there now and just leaving the basic ones there that would be there when you first put them on your sd card, or if you are not worried about any saved settings or programs you ave in android already, just to be safe, extract your laitest build of choice and overwrite the zimige with the latest build from coutella

The screen backlight isn't an issue anyway, I just wanted to avoid confusion between it and the buttons. So you're saying the hardware button LEDs are not lit when in standby mode?

Are you loading android with the phone plugged in BEFORE you start clrcad and hariet?

If not try that, its in several posts.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
People need to start reading the thread before posting, this thread would be half the size if they did.

This is a known bug that has been discussed on numerous occasions - you currently cannot charge the phone in Android unless the USB is connected when you run Haret. The irony is when you do this the phone is charging but doesn't say it is. But if you remove the cable then reinsert it, the phone says it's charging but isn't.

Need a page or link in the beggining with detailed instructions, and what to expect and not to expect while progress is being made. Since i have all of the posts, and i will agree, its not fun by any means, there is an overload of posts that could be avoided bu using the search function

Anyone have more information on this?

Other notes:

1. Battery dropped ~50% in 6 hours with WIFI on and on standby. This is similar to WM...I havn't tried with WIFI OFF where WM drops 1-2%/hour standby.

2. As others have stated the charging LED stays on whether plugged in or not. Charging indicator in Android seems to work perfectly though.

First of all thanks again for all of your hard work on android!

The new desire v4 build is stable and works great, and screen turnes of. Data also workes great :D It seems to be the first build that is usable for every day use.

But I have a weird thing while charging with the new desire v4 build.

It does recognize it's charging but if i watch the battery status with an app it stil says it's slowly going down. So while it is hanging on power with the default htc charger it doesn't actually charge! I turned off the screen and closed all apps, but it's still discharging..
