This is really odd. Id been using the Desire build and loved it, but it was laggy, so i installed dans Froyo last night.

Im using an Elegancia ROM.

It is very very smooth, but I am having some problems.

I can log into the web using the dolphin browser, Pandora and lastfm stream music, palringo works, but not opera, or the facebook app, or marketplace. The APN is epc.tmobile.com. Twitter works. It shows that i have a 3G connection.

I've tried the 7/23 zimage and the 7/19 zimage, but it makes no difference. Just did a sim pull and rebooted, same thing.

Anyone have any ideas why Dolphin browser would access the web but not much else?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] michyprima:
Seems that froyo has some problem with 3G connection. Data is not exchanged. I cannot use internet with froyo here too.

Hi change rootfs.img for data :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mexicubaz:
Here is what I did to get my contacts from WM to Android.

All of my contacts where already sync with my deskstop Outlook. From outlook I exported my contacts to a CSV file. I then imported this file to my gmail account. Now each and every time I load a new Android or need to start over it will auto sync my contacts with gmail when I register my gmail account at first boot or in the sync settings.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] a1vinn:
Did you try deleting the data.img file and reboot android. It'll create a new one on boot up. Only thing is deleting data.img file you lose your settings, contacts, sms, etc.. just like how you first booted up on a fresh start.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] michyprima:
Yeah I know, I'm not so noob :p

By the way was not working already on first build (tried XTarantula build which doesn't include data.img)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
THANKS! I agree that these should be added, or at least link to them on the first page, which rootfs for the different builds.

Also, this was mentioned, and it may be to overwhelming, but... I might be a good idea to post which radio rom HD2/Leo versions provide no robot voice and/or echo. Such as Miri Rom with 2.XX.XX radio and such.

Edit:

I see this has kind of been done :( oops

Yeah, didn't mean to add unnecessary suggestions :confused:

On another note, an android app I LOVE is Gmote http://www.gmote.org/

It lets you control your computer from you android phone. The screen acts like a touchpad, and it has some built in functions for playing movies and music. I use it all the time and I am glad I have it back!

I'm not real sure how the cursor will work without a trackball though... but it is not really needed.

I know this a small issue, but I liked the voice control option it was pretty cool doing the search and everything by simply just speaking it. Thank you

linux

i'm not a developer not even close of such knowledge, i already saw someone asking for a ubuntu netbook remix for the hd2 what i agree with due to it being a lghtweight system mainly aimed to web browser, for what i could understand, and please correct me if i'm wrong, the zimage files are the actual kernel that makes the link between hardware and software, so if we add one of cottula zimage to a hd2 prepared netbook remix we should get something to work with?

using haret and so on...

my question is how to prepare the linux files to use it in the hd2?

thanks

:confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kasush:
After booting WM launch haret AFTER the keypad LEDs go off and they will stay off. The issue is that Android leaves the LEDs in the same state they are in when booted. I never have the lights on with mine, but I launch haret manually (no "dual booter").

For those asking about the charge LED blinking, it goes off after a short time so just ignore it and it will go away.

What I am asking is does this fix the problems we had with with Dan Froyo w/Sense issues such as it being a bit delayed and the market also being delayed. Pretty much does this make it run as smooth as the Desire v5. Thank you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Giacomo700:
Grazie infinite, Michele!

The rootfs for Froyo-Sense PR1 also works perfectly with dan1j3l's LeoFroyo 1.0 build without Sense, by the way. Having root access makes a huge difference because you can finally use Titanium Backup to restore all your settings when switching from one build to another.

Call quality issue

I have hesitated to make any comment about this, but here goes…

My callers are still getting a bad echo, and extreme background noise from my side, I have installed Miri v17.0, which I keep reading is the end all of this issue. I have also taken these steps…

1. Boot from windows mobile

2. Run "cleam ram" and kill tasks

3. run Clrcad.exe then Haret.exe[/INDENT]

Should this have gone to any of the new forums about the android? Please be Gentle;)

Window ROM Android / Good Combination

I just wanted to share a good android/windows Rom combination:

Im running the Leo T85T85 from T-mobile with the July 21st Energy Dinik Cookie Rom and the 2.12.50.02_2 Radio.

1) I installed the dan1j3l - Froyo build (android 2.2) v1 (says 1 but it's really 1.2) (http://gamesquare.co.uk/android.html),

All the files are in an Android folder that you copy to the ROOT of the SD card (so all the android files are within that android folder).

2) I set it up to dual boot

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723200)

it's just a cab, install in windows.

3) U need the latest zimg, the nospeedy one

(just replace the one from danj1j3l in the Android folder on the SD card)

(http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Android/)

4) Also replace the latest rootfs.img in that same Android folder (otherwise u can't set up a google account, 3g and wifi don't work) .

(http://www.mediafire.com/?d8d1x3795a75p2s).

With this combination, Android really works great, especially if u turn off windows animation and the live wallpaper. It's also very stable, hasn't crashed once in 2 days. Data speeds are very good too especially wifi, seems faster than windows.

Things that aren't working:

Led notifications, Camera flash, the sound is too low (also call sound quality is not very good), the battery usage seems a bit excessive. Im hoping a zimg update will fix that.

Other than that, it's very fast, the touch screen is very responsive, really nice.

I'm thinking to use that as my main OS as soon as the sound issue is fixed (might because of my radio though, will test).

Well hopefully someone finds this info useful...

No echo, good call quality, no freezing for 2 days, no turbo, data seems faster than WM, all apps downloading and working correctly.Screen is working perfectly smooth.Only issue is gps and batt lifes a bit short but apart from that spot on.

I am using Desire V5

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcordes:
android rom confusion

Mark/mskip and the fellow XDA staff,

Many people make ready to use roms/builds with android for HD2 available through XDA.

As the Linux drivers mature, android on HD2 gains more and more attention and everybody wants to roll their own rom. This is nice. We have all the possibilities with linux/android being free software so why not use them.

But I have one concern with the current situation:

Almost no android rom chef cares about documentation. Users don't know what they get. Maximum user knowledge about the roms they download is the Android version and maybe what device it's build for (like froyo desire). Possibly along with some 'features' that should be included.

This leads to a total chaos of anonymous builds floating around with users who are confused. Those users will come up

filling threads

endlessly repeating the

same old questions

. 'jack's rom has working wifi while peter's doesn't. how can I get working wifi?'

(This is not limited to the HD2 but I am using HD2 in this example as I'm posting in hd2 android/linux forum)

My recommendation to improve this situation: Make it a convention to include a readme.txt in every android build that is made available throguh XDA with following minimum information:

*What ROM version?

An internal version # that can be used to identify the authors exact release (e.g. my-rom-v0.5.zip) for easier reference for the users and fellow developers benefiting from the release.

*Which kernel image and kernel modules are used?

Where are zImage and modules.ko originally downloaded (in case the chef didn't compile on their own) and where is the kernel source code for the kernel and modules.

In case the chef did not compile on his own, he should still be able find out where the source code is.

(The license under which the Linux kernel is released requires the distribution of the source code that was used when distributing builds.)

*What rootfilesystems are used?

Where was it taken from, what does it include (android version it's based on etc) and in case of self compilation, where is the source code.

(In case of most windows mobile shipped devices that's often some rootfs file e.g. named android.ext2 and an initial ram filesystem often named initrd.cpio.gz)

If the chef is unable to obtain any of this information and thus can't make it available through included readme.txt they should be prohibited to distribute the rom.

If the chef is using an exact copy of a present release (e.g. in case of a WinCE rom that has an android 'dual boot' option) they must include the readme.txt from the original rom chef.

Let me know what you think.

Now just for clarification so I can put it in the FAQ, will the patched rootfs.img files work by simply copying them across to an existing Android build or do you have to delete the data.img file before reloading Android?

Sounds like a great idea mate I will add an 'exceptional' stickie to the top of the HD2 Android Development forum with instructions for Rom cookers. If anyone sees a Rom thread without the included txt file then they can report it to me and I will ask the chef to add it in.

Hopefully this will stop people asking alot of unneccessary questions.

Thanks for the idea I will put it into action now :)
