Future Kernel developement

Hello guys!

After some weeks of active developement in june and july 2010, our hd2 is running android really well, compared to other wince devices.

But in august, the active developement has somehow stopped. At least it looks like, for me. Cotulla won't release a new kernel before september, but I'm not sure if he is really working on hd2 kernel actually.

In the last weeks we had some minor achievements, like leds and ram, but nothing big (okay, RAM was big ;-). actually the devs are finetuning their variants of android. :(

But we have some serious show stoppers, like ts freeze for example :mad:. Shouldn't we focus on these problems, instead of building the 5th kernel with overclocking ability to the moon and back? I think stability is a real problem for daily use!

Only few people are able to solve these problems, but they should focus on it! And they should focus one direction...some want to develope a new kernel based on supersonic, other ppl want codeaurora. It needs to work, for us users it is unimportant what the code base is:eek:

Make the kernel stable!:)

thx,

Crashman

Hey,

i want to get root acces because i want use setCPU.

"Patched RootFS files (thanks to michyprima) to gain Root access to your Android Build:

DarkStones DesireV5 build - *HERE*

Useage: Copy the required file across to the right place on your Storage Card, overwrite the existing file. Load Android and thats it."

But I can't find a file called "ROOTFS.IMG" which i can replace on my HD2.

I am usin chuckydroidrom shubcraft1.4d and the newest radio.

I hope you can help me, thank you :)

//EDIT: The LED is blinking green again, and again i dont know what this means. i have already searched, but found nothing.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fyatwyrio:
Hi, The blinking green LED is a debug function to make sure android is still running. I's supposed to be there with these dev builds so in case it looks like android locks they can still tell if it's running.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LBJ1304:
hi ! I got some problems on my HTC HD 2 with Android: Camera doesn't work :( Any ideas ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Apache0c:
Matt C 1.5b has been working great for me for two weeks now with only minor issues.

MattC 1.5b is already rooted. I was able to just install and use root only programs like setcpu and shootme.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
FroyoStone V1 by Darkstone is very stable, although a number of additional things have been fixed since it was released. (I've found ShubCraft to be less stable than Darkstone's builds)

I would suggest that you wait for FroyoStone V2 though - it should be released any day now I hope.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dipaolnv:
+1 for FroyoStone. I am using V1 with the latest zImage and wifi drivers. Great build. V2 will be great when DarkStone releases it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcordes:
Thanks a lot guys. It's really good to hear a thank you for the continued work.

People tend to not look at the importance of what goes behind the scenes and only get excited when they see a new build they can download.

I receive hardly any donation since the hype is wearing off. I thought about uploading android builds, too cause I have the impression that is where donations go now.

But that is not my purpose in this project.

So again, I respect it a lot when people applaud the continues work because that is what I'm doing.

I have been around this project for three years now since I bought an HTC Kaiser end 2007.

I'm working on the HD2 port every day since I got it in march.

cheers

Omg how can you dare write that... I read irc logs everyday and developers are working hard (yes, even in august...) if you can so easily judge them looking at the kernel releases, I suggest you to compile you owns (you'll see its very handy) and stop crying like a stupid child.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TML1504:
possibly you got a sms in winmo (between the startup of winmo and the booting of android), therefore winmo signals you this (or a missed call) by green led blinking!

try to open sms messages (switch to conventional mode) and look for unread sms, same for call-log...

at a chance of 99% the blinking is caused by that! :)

markus
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Perez827:
I second that! Just because you don't see any major releases doesn't mean these guys aren't working on one. Keep in mind this isn't their full time job. Whenever they release anything I am grateful because I know sure as hell I can't do it. If you want stable just use Wm until all the little issues are worked out. For me Android is stable enough to not need Wm. So be patient or hire these devs to work full time for you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
perez827 and Sichroteph,

You both rock! I myself read the logs.I also laugh when I see random noobs enter the irc chat and ask questions lol.

But lets make sure we are all respectful.

woooooosa!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bryski:
Keep up the amazing work, what yourself and the rest of the devs have done so far is simply amazing and I for one cant find the words to thank you all :)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mdthompson12:
Very nice work!!

I got the image loaded and an amazed at the difference between this and the WM! Very nice work! I have not experienced any of the issues that anyone else is noting, but I do have an issue with the sound; sounds like a robot. I am very new to this so I am not really clear on how to update the radio ROM on the image. I am booting from Windows into the cyanogen mod kernel 2.6.32.9-38161. I guess I am assuming it is the radio ROM, but any direction would be a great help. This is a T-Mobile HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dneto:
As a new user of Android because you guys! Thank you so much for research, work and provide this.

Sorry for my badly english.

Keep this amazing work! You´re the best guys.

Twice now i have left my android on sleep overnight and the battery has completely drained, even though normal drain rates are around 1% per hour.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 3pcssuits:
Ba da baba baa I'm loving it!!

Running Darstone v2 and it is sweet only minor hiccups but nothing major. Problems being Unable to find rootfs img need to unzip or something like that after rebooting phone, fixed by removing android folder on root of sd card touch screen unresponsive easy fix lock phone then unlock good as gold. I don't even touch the windows side of my phone. ITS SWEET!!!:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcordes:
at the moment it is my full time job.

edit: maybe that's why I am expecting too much. I'm really wondering why people only donated when it was new.

Wifi tethering

WIFI TETHER WORKS NOW:

New change in git (changelog): http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/htc-msm-2.6.32

net: bcm4329 driver with working master (AP) mode

New kernel and module in: http://oe.netripper.com/files/htcleo_autobuild/?C=M;O=D (31/08 00:47)

I tested with shubcraft 1.5 RMNET build and wifi tethering worked with WPA. (Did not work with PPP build)

EDIT: You can even enable AP (access point - wifi tethering) with single click from shubcraft power control widget. Infact I'm writing this sentence from my pc tethered to my hd2 android over wifi with secure WPA encryption. Tethering continues to work when screen is off and lockscreen is enabled.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
Trust me, your work is very much appreciated by those of us who are not kernel experts, and i definitely would like to see you guys remunerated more. I think friendly reminders are in order here, you've made the HD2 worth keeping and in many respects more able than an Evo (I can play Zuma on my HD2 if I want).

people just fall into the habit of complaining instead of donating, it seems to happen with every major breakthrough. Just know there are those of us understand how tedious, time consuming, and frustrating task developing and OS porting can be, and appreciate it very much.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] molesaied88:
absolutely amazing work. so much respect for those who work on this project. i specifically bought the hd2 just for android. and i doubt that im the only one. Im a broke ass college student and im donating $20. i wish i had more to give.

I must admit that I am a little disappointed in the members here. I think most of them must be very young and dont really know better. I blame it on bad parenting. Either that or they really have no clue whatsoever as to what this site is, I blame it on a sense of entitlement.

Personally, I purchased this device with my hard earned money so I am thankful when you help me improve it's performance. Plus I know the developers at my work and I know that their time is valuable.

I have been trying to help you out with funds. I've been trying to do some fund raising for you, I dont know if it's helped at all though. Here is the post I made for you on my blog: http://androidontmobilehd2.wordpress.com/2010/08/15/money-bomb-for-hd2/

I made a thread about it here on the site and three people came in to make fun of me and belittle me for what I was doing while only one guy came in to back me up.

I've been trying to spread the the "Money Bomb" message on every forum I can, to see if we can get an infusion of cash for you guys that are making this happen.

Many people in this world have no gratitude and that is something that we all have to live with. But the work that you guys do is important and very appreciated and many of us are respectful and very thankful for your efforts.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] osokrayzay:
Release your build im sure everyone will want to download and donate to the man.

Count me in for $50 and im sure others will follow.

You are right the donations are going to the chefs who are releasing builds.

You need to get paid too regardless if you say you do it for fun or for a hobby.

PAYME!!

What's the difference between zImage-htcleo-latest and

zImage-20100831_003001-htcleo?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] byl233:
Does anyone notice that HD2 will disconnect to PC when the phone get into the standby mode by using the latest zImage or 29/8 zImage?

My HD2 OS is ShubCraft1.4d with 31/8 & 29/8 zImage.

My PC OS is Windows7 Ultimate 64bit.

How can I fix this bug? thx!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RSTRich:
Just to add my experiences / bugs, Firstly let me say I'm over the moon about the work that's been done here, for the most part this works better than I ever could imagined, there are 3 small issues I have noticed though, the MAC address of the card seems to be set to 00:11:22:33:44:55 instead of taking the card's actual address, also for some reason when communicating via a bluetooth headset the call seems to go dead, as in the connection is made but I can't hear other person, and they can't hear me. (As mentioned I'm not having a go, just simply bug reporting!) But as everyone else has mentioned, if this can be done as a Full ROM I too will send a few pints to the devs!

oops 3rd thing, I can't assign a static IP address... Still uses the DHCP addy when static IP is assigned, upgraded zImage this morning
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
When they have the same time stamp, they are the SAME. (they will be the same until a new kernel is built)

have u checked out the latest kernel?

I am also experiencing this same issue.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RSTRich:
yeah 31/08 (or at least I think I have, overwritten the zimage file, and copied the .ko files to the modules directory, rebooted and android's come back up, so I would presume I've done everything right if I've got this far...

O and now at work I get the H symble with 1.8 MB download.

Is it the build that made it better?

Did you read the link posted????? htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=LeoWifi

Say a couple files in the firmware thats needed.

Thats TWO files!!!

The other ONE file is the WIFI driver that we ALWAYS replace.

Thats a total of THREE

Android on My HD2

I just found out that if you use android on your HTC HD2 for a long period of time that it can corupted(I hope I spelled that right lol)window mobile OS is that true? And can it be fixed?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] poweroutlet:
No.

Android doesn't touch your internal memory, has nothing to do with windows mobile.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] beatzandrhymez:
Updating

What is the best way to update a FroYo build and keep all previous settings and apps?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Stealth Pyro:
Titanium Backup from the Market. You run it and back everything up, then restore it when you throw on an updated build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
It's not about long time. It's about how many times you launch Android (haret)

The more you start Android, the more winmo gets killed abrubtly and more likely corruptions occur.

But if you take regular winmo backups with SPB Backup, you can make it working again with a simple restore.

Strange things happen such as:

-wireless passwords get forgotten

-email settings get lost

-data connection no longer works

-activesync thinks it is connected without usb cable

-exe files no longer work.

It doesn't happen very often though, but it happened to me a lot of times.

This is not directly true. Yes Android does not touch internal memory and does not corrupt while running BUT sometimes corrupts windows exactly when haret is launched. (Winmo dies abruptly as if you pull the battery)

can we just reflash our wm rom and that is? And those hardware itself get mess up?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] poweroutlet:
Hmm..

So it's the sudden improper ending of winmo which causes this?

Is it kind of like starting windows on a desktop and then pulling the plug suddenly shutting down the OS?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonnyblazeone:
quick troubleshooting question...

i got android running perfectly, but i still get the robot sounds on calls. i have the clrcad and run it before haret.exe. ive tried to format memory card and start over and redownload the file, with no progress. any help would be delightful. its kind of a teaser to get everything else working but not be able to use the phone. Thanks, you guys are all awesome...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Stealth Pyro:
It sounds like you don't have a custom Windows ROM installed. At this time that's the only thing that can get rid of the robotic voices in calls. Energy/Miri ROMs work great and it's a very simple automated process to install either one. You pretty much connect your phone to your PC, download the HSPL installer, and ROM installer and they are installed to your phone for you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Chitown021:
That's odd, ever since I applied the updates to fix the wifi issues I was having I've started getting a lot of SOD issues. This is the first time I've had those issues since I was running the T-MO stock rom on my phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Embalmer:
The factory 2.08 rom from tmobile works fine with calls on android (other than normal echo on other end). once I updated to the 2,13 update, robot calls. went back to factory rom and works fine. radio 2.08, 2.10, 2.12 dont matter
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cyberjam:
CIFS and NFS.

Hello,

I had already asked for this in several custom build threads. But it looks like

there is no demand for CIFS and NFS support, or perhaps nobody has an expertise on compiling these modules for HD2.

Could somebody in this thread at least let me know what does it involve to make this modules work on HD2?

Does it depend on kernel version or is it possible to compile cifs.ko, nfs.ko and all their dependancies (nls_utf8, sunrpc etc.) so they work for all kernel releases made for HD2?

Oh, actually I am just realizing that it would probably be kernel dependent similar to WiFi module that needs to be updated with each kernel upgrade...

So what does it take to compile cifs and nfs modules along with bcm4329.ko and tun.ko?

If it is not an easy task at this stage, could someone provide a path to having these modules compiled? It would of course be very nice to have these modules ultimately included into GIT, similar to bcm4329, if that is all what it takes...

Thanks,

CJ
