Having been keeping quite on the sidelines for a bit I feel the need to also flag this as an issue.

Also I have discovered a slightly more irritating feature. If you make a call - say to voicemail to pick up a message - then later boot back into Windows Mobile, then the phone freezes if you attempt to use the phone dialler. No matter what I can not get it to work and I have to do a hard reset to use the phone again.

I have tried all the builds (currently on the Desire V4 with the latest zImage from Cottula) and all computations but it appears to afflict everyone. Getting bored now as I do a re-set again… lol

Anyone else have this issue???

Try Dan's build with Cotulla's zImage, camera is working (no video), battery indicator works.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] digitalhater:
Will do. Thanks a lot! Off-topic question: are in in Ro? if yes, have you seen the extended battery somewhere? I'd like to try and keep android (any of the builds) for a whole day and I'm afraid of running out of battery as I'm expecting some important calls this week.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bangsters:
That is the thing.... with the froyo build all files are there when extracted to sdcard. But with the desire build, it comes with the ROM when extracted. The files contained in the 7zip file are:

system.sqsh

rootfs.img

Readme - Instructions.txt

LEOIMG.nbh

Leo_SoftwareUpgrade.exe

data.img

No zImage, Haret, CLRCAD. In order for me to isntall desire, I have to install the ROM..... so now how do I replace the ROM when it's part of the Desire Build?? If I try to install Miri after I run the previous ROM, the desire no longer runs....

PS: I downloaded the 7zip file today and is the latest from gamesquare.co.uk
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cavemaneca:
For those unwilling to take 15 minutes to download the Desire energy ROM, It still uses the SD card. DATA.img, rootfs.img, and system.sqsh are on the card, as well I assume all of the installed programs will go to the card as well.

Works great tho, and I love going straight to android with no prompt. Already gave up on WinMo anyway.

Rocking Android for 24hrs+

Hi all,

Been following this thread from the beginning, and would like to just say Thanks to all the devs working so hard to get this working :)

I have a class 2 card, only 2gb and have used Dan's Froyo build with Cotulla's zimage from 19/7.

I put this on last night and booted the phone into Winmo. As soon as it started I ran CLRC (or whatever it is) and then Haret, all with the charger plugged in.

I've been using this build for nearly 25 hours and it is totally amazing! Calls work fine, sleeps fine, wakes up fine, apps load from market, contacts sync from Google, it even charges!

I haven't had to reset it once, and it has so far not frozen or done anything odd.

I'm using a 2.xx.50 radio and the Artemis v22 ROM/

Many thanks again to all the developers.

Chris.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mike infinity:
To optimize all of these builds you really need to turn off the animated wallpaper. In dan's build as in desire it makes a big difference. You also need to tweak the settings in dan's build so that the swipes, etc work well. I set app drawer to 3 columns and disable 'horizontal drawer'. I also use the dotted buttons on the home screen to 'swipe'...its blazing fast. The froyo build also has finger friendly flipping for emails and several browser optimizations.

My wishlist includes:

-improved 2D scrolling (in browser and maps, etc) in all the builds

-full screen openGL apps in dan's build.

-speed improvements to bring to par with the Nexus (its a wish...maybe not possible on this kind of port)

Honestly...excellent work by all who have worked on this. I have a couple of things that I want to keep from WM (GPS nav, etc). This allows the best of both worlds.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
Please do not bump posts as it is considered spam and you only left it 50 minutes before reposting the same question.

In answer to your question, if you didnt find it already is that the only pre-requisites before flashing NRG's rom is to delete all references to Android from your storage card. When the Rom is flashed it will write 3 Android files (data.img, rootfs.img, and system.sqsh) to the storage card so the card is still being accessed all the time. This means that you wont get any noticeable improvement on performance or battery drain. The only advantage is that your phone will boot straight into Android but this means you wont be able to get back into Windows Mobile without flashing a WinMo Rom.

As Android in all its forms is still very much in a beta stage you will probably find yourself having to flash a new Rom relatively quickly but if you want to give it a go then have fun :)

@DaneCooksy, I think I know what's going on..... If I download the desire build from http://gamesquare.co.uk/desire.html I get a WinMo ROM with the Desire sortoff cooked in, with ONLY the following files (system.sqsh, rootfs.img, Readme, LEOIMG.nbh, Leo_SoftwareUpgrade.exe, data.img)?? However, if I download from http://robsbay.co.uk/ I get the standard fileset (AndroidApps folder, initrd.gz, CLRCAD.exe, data.img, haret.exe rootfs.img, startup.txt, system sqsh, darkstone file, ts-calibration, zImage.

So what is the difference?? Both actually work, but the one from gamesquare.co.uk does not have zImage or haret or CLRCAD yet it works (It even runs Android autiomatically at boot up).....

Can someone clarify the difference between these two download sources please.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
Because there is not yet a FULLY working port and so its best to keep development confined to a single thread rather creating a forum which would soon be flooded with hundreds of posts asking why things arent working..

Once the port is complete then im sure an Android Forum will be created so that Roms and ports can be shared in a more orderly form.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cavemaneca:
Testing a bit with the Desire ROM I found something out...

Changing ANY of the three files that came with the ROM (data.img, rootfs.img, system.sqsh) brings up a "SD card not found" error.

BUT, and this is a big one, it will work with whatever build you put into the root of the SD card the first time you boot it.

So after placing my original Desire build onto my root, and a hard reset, works fine.

Anyone want to test with Froyo? Placing the entire android folder contents in root, before first boot with android ROM...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
I dont know whats happening when you download the desire build from gamesquare but I just downloaded it again to double check and the contents of the compressed file are exactly the same as on robsbay (8 files that you copy to the ROOT of your storage card and run to load Android).

As far as im aware the only rom that has been made is from NRG which boots straight into Android and when flashed it writes 3 android files to the storage card and everything else to device memory.

The only thing I can assume is that you are getting your download links or your downloaded contents mixed up.

failed to mount sd card

Android 2.1 worked well before on my HD2, but after i used the Desire Based ROM with Sense cooked in ive been having an error come up in the terminal while loading...

the error reads

"mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: invalid argument

Failed

Failed to mount the SD card. Cannot continue.

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

/#"

is there anyway to fix this?

on every build i try to use whether it be Stock Android 2.1 or 2.2 or the Desire Based ROM (v3 and v4) this error always comes up.

Thanks. I'm trying to download from gameaquare again. You are getting a 7z file right?

Update:

Ok just finished downloading.... now it's displaying the correct files...

Weird... so where did the previous one come from... When extracted it was extracted to a folder named: Energy.Leo.Desire.Android.Jul.20.7z Folder with a complete WinMo ROM (NRG) and just 3 files for android. It does not have zImage or haret or CLRCAD but it works and runs android right after boot up ( it does not even load windows fully)....

I'm confused now lol...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
Im not exactly sure what your point is with this post..

Are you trying to say that Android works after a hard Reset, that you can run any Android build from the root of your storage card or that you can swap files between builds?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mobilelew:
Cool. I have already flashed. There are no prerequisites. Just flash and go. It will boot into desire as before. As for the bump, just didn't want it it get lost in the shuffle. I asked a question yesterday and it never got answered. Thanks again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
Yes the downloaded file from GameSquare is desirebuild_v4.7z which is 160,189KB and contains 8 files which are copied to the root of your storage card.

Mark.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
The main issue I can see with the NRG rom would be if Cotulla was to update the zimage file which he has been doing quite a lot recently. Normally this sits in the root of the memory stick with the Desire rom but I can only assume with the lack of it, it now sits in the phone memory. How would this therefore be updated if he was to release any improvements?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hirnteri:
If i start v4 after wm-booting, then its verrrrry slow. But if i wait ca. 30 minutes after wm-booting, then v4 is fast.

i don't know why.

And Energy-Rom: Here it starts directly after wm-booting and android is verrrry slow.

hey mark im trying to run the latest desire v4 but it stuck on the linux boot screen.i have replaced the zimage.rar thats in the desire v4 with the latest zimage.rar from http://cotulla.pp.ru/leo/Android/

i have the dual boot but i did it manually by tapping CLRCAD then HARET from the desire v4 file.

any suggestions.thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cavemaneca:
Yes, normally swapping files between builds causes an error, but it works after a hard reset.

Also, anyone else having this problem with the Energy ROM? After the first time or two booting, it won't autoboot anymore. Had to go into startup and add CLRCAD and HaRET shortcuts... wonder if this is related to my file swapping on the card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bangsters:
Thanks. It appears that the previous one I downloaded was from hotfile.com.

It installed the energy rom, and required me to copy 3 files to the sdcard (no zimage or haret and sdcard is newly formatted). After the ROM is installed phone reboots straight to Android Desire (I didn't need to run haret or anything else).

battery icon works, but there is echo in audio.....

.... now which build is this that I'm using?? It's definitely different from the other builds in terms of files in the sdcard and on how to get into android....

hopefully someone can shed some light to this, it's driving me nuts

Also, if I go to phone software info:

Firmware version 2.1-update1

That's a build by nrgz that writes some of the files to your phone. you no longer boot into windows. you need to reflash to get into windows again
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] trmacdonal:
When you wait longer to start android are you in hyper mode? I know if I don't boot android right after WM boots Android runs too fast. The clock will gain time and it is hard to do short presses. It drains the battery like crazy and eventually freezes. It can't be good for the phone. If 5 minutes pass on your phone for every real life minute, you are in hyper mode. The slowness you are experiencing is probably the combination of your SD Card and the Sense launcher. Try using the ADW launcher from the market. I find it works great with the Desire V4 or dan's FroYo build.

other then that this is a perfect build to me
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
The zImage file (no extension) in the Desire v4 build is the latest one that cotulla has released so theres really no reason or point in copying across another version.

When the haret loads Android where exactly does it get stuck and what is the last text displayed on the screen? If it crashes at the text display screen then that can usually give you the best indication of whats gone wrong.

Have you successfully ran Desire v4 before?

Do you have ALL 8 files copied to the ROOT of your storage card?

Have you deleted any files or folders created by previous versions or builds before running the clrad and haret files?

I had the same problem to start with. I just deleted all the android files from the SD Card and re-copied them over again. Then loaded from the dual boot. It worked fine after that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
Which is why is said it does not have ram 'hack' It is default! The point was to clarify that the original post was referring to custom roms and not stock roms. the 576mb ram point is moot, however, due to inconsistent results from multiple users of many different roms with or w/o the 'hack'. I was simply asking a legitimate question. Now, Jokes... those are funny.

It is just that I find it hard to believe the amount of ram could drastically alter call clarity. Whats more, provide inconsistent results. I suspect this is not the case.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
You are correct in that the amount of free ram has no bearing on the problems with sound. Duttys Holy Grail rom has more free Ram after flashing than Miris Standard v17 Rom and yet Duttys Rom always gave me the robot voice on calls.

Whats more probably is the OEM drivers used by the different chefs when cooking the Roms. I dont know the drivers used by Miri but there are soo many different versions that its the more obvious answer than a lack of ram. It might also explain why some people are having varied results with Miri's Roms as he might have changed various drivers between versions or different series.

Speaking for myself I was using Duttys Leo Nu Era v1 with robot sound. Yesterday I flashed Miri HD2 WM6.5 (21908) ROM :: Sense 2.5 :: V 17.0 and the sound is now fine, apart from being quiet but im sure that can be improved.

Mark, besides the sound issue, did you notice more improvements after you changed the WM ROM? For instance, less freezes / sleeps of death, less battery drain, etc.?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cookiesowns:
I just noticed something running android Desire V4.

Everything is extremely smooth, no freezes on sleep.

Though there is some concerns, still a tad bit slow, it "hangs" on programs that uses more RAM or CPU for about couple seconds, then resumes what it was doing.

But this is forseen due to the Alpha nature of the builds.

CPU clock, it seems to be that When I'm in android with a normal "clock", the CPU only runs at 768mhz. Haven't tested fast timers yet though.

It also seems that when WMM goes into some sort of "sleep, or standby" or downclock of the cpu, then you boot using haret, that causes the Fast clock issue.

PS: using energy, no dual boot app.

PSS: Charging still doesn't seem to work on my end, with the phone on and mild usage, the battery drains even with the power connected. allthough android says it is in fact charging :/

I have never had freezes or SOD on Duttys or Miri's Roms as the latest zimage file solves those problems, well it did for me anyway.

The HD2 running Windows Mobile only runs at 768MHz in normal operation. When needed it steps up to the full 1GHz speed to conserve on power consumption. This is probably the same in Android and the processor will be stepped up when its required so I wouldnt worry too much about that.
