hey how did u get that clock on Froyo? :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] da_prophit:
(Froyo) Yea thought i was the only one. I figured it must be the radio so i changed from 2.12.50.02.2 to 2.10.50.26 no change. I can make and receive calls but the sound is garbled. Music on the other hand plays properly. Might it be my Rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bodybuild14:
Can you download Android apps? I can get on the app store but it just says downloading and never downloads. Sorry if I missed this in an earlier post.

it's an app on the market, picked it up when i had my dream, still there when i logged on from the hd2

Which Radio ROMS are you guys using?

I'm using 2.12.50.02_2 radio with a Dutty Rom. I always format 2Gb SD card and disable Sense in Windows Mobile. Use the default explorer to open Haret.exe.

I get with HTC Desire V3 and Froyo build a good startup but it freezes in Android. The screen hangs and does nothing. I can use Android most of the time for 5 minutes. A reboot will not get things better :(

Maybe it's because of my Radio.

Hi folks, I don't want to be noobish, or seem lazy, but I'm not sure where I can find the Froyo build for my HD2. I checked the first page and saw Cotulla's build. Is this the Froyo build, the HTC Desire build or a custom build? Is there a depository of all of the Android builds?

Also, I keep hearing about Droid builds. Is this pulled from "The Motorola Droid/Droid X" or is it just a shortening of the word Android?

Thanks for the response below! I didn't want to create a new post to add to the number of posts.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bodybuild14:
Go to page 363. It has a link. Sorry forgot quote...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aceo07:
I just tried the froyo build, from a couple of pages back, and it seems to have messed up the power consumption readout in WM.

After I tried Froyo once and rebooted back into WM, the batclock app was showing consumption of 450mAh! It did settle down to around 250mA, but the numbers still look bigger than they used to be. It's usually 200mA or less. Battery is at 99% now and when recharging it's usually 35mA before, now it shows 183mA. Seems like the numbers are inflated by 100-150mA.

Hopefully it's just the readings that are wrong and nothing else has been changed.

update: it seems like the numbers are settling down as it got to 100% charge. I'll see how it behaves when I use it normally tomorrow.

read the readme file, it saids not to put it in the root of the folder, and to keep all the files in the /android folder. the rootfs file needs to be in root/android/

+1 same issue for me, it dropped 20% overnight (~8hrs)!

battery needs recalibration i guess...

the latest leofroyo1.0 rom has 3g issues and may not download sometimes, you can download from wifi with no issues. otherwise, just keep trying and it will eventually download. took me about 5 tries when i was at a restaurant trying to download foursquare via wifi

the july-10 cotulla rom does not have working calling capabilities, if you want to have that ability, you have to use "dan1j3l-LeoFroyo-1.0.zip". search the thread for the link. make sure you enable sound in android by activating CLRCAD.exe before HaRET.exe
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Morpheus0800:
I'm using this version of Foyo...

but I think the CLRCAD is the problem - how can i "activate" it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voiceofid:
just tap the .exe once or twice, nothing will happen on screen. i was able to call a pizza place and place an order. and make sure you have the vol turn up in winmo and android
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Morpheus0800:
man, thx for the hint...the reason was the "vibrate" mode in WINMO ... now it works" :)

Desire Rom v3 test

[VIDEO]: http://htc.hdblog.it/2010/07/14/android-rom-del-desire-con-htc-sense-sul-htc-hd2-video/
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cavemaneca:
This is just android running in "hyper mode" as some call it. it takes all of like 5 seconds for "30" seconds to pass by for the phone. As well, you have to tap REALLY fast for it to count as just a regular tap, instead of holding it to either bring up the options menu or use alternate keys.

Trying a soft-reset or wipe and reinstall to get it to work at normal speed and you won't see those problems. As for the autolock, try running a background program that disables screen lock like a media player. I left Meridian on playing white noise in the background and it ran fine for hours without input to keep it active.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pashaa1:
First of all, big shout to the devs for their hard work, whatever version they are working on, it's just amazing ...

I have a HTC HD2 with a version 2.10 radio and i tried the 3 android builds i was able to find:

- The one by cotulla and it keep freezing and very unstable so i will wait for more progress and will try it later.

- The one called HTC Desire v3.0 that i really like but is very unstable also and keep freezing as well on my phone.

- The Froyo v2.2 posted by somebody in this thread. This is in my case a dream come true as it is very stable. I am able to use WIFI as it supposed to be, 3G, SMS and MMS, mail with my gmail, comcast and hotmail accounts, call and receive calls with sound and the mic working. Went on Market Place and downloaded a bunch of freebies and had lot of fun. GPS, Compass, Screen Rotation are very smooth. I really LOVE the LIVE Wallpapers using OpenGL objects, it just blow away anything else on the market ( try the aquarium with the fishes you can feed and touch with finger for interaction ...).

:( Still a major issue with this Froyo is the battery as it just wont charge for me and die after a couple of hours. I tried 4 different apps for battery management and they all show 0 % at all time ... Also some apps or widgets crash randomly but not too often and i didn't get the dead screen as i downloaded a "clock" widget that has a night option and dimm the screen ....

Overall it is a great experience for me as i love my HTC HD2 but not a big fan of WM 6.5 at all ... :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nawcho:
got the froyo running now and ... WOW AMAZING this is already more stable than my crappy win mo stock rom.

All i need now is for you to enable the headphones so i can jam to my music and fix the phone calls bro and im gtg...

I'll be donating for sure once it gets to this point.

Keep up the great work, love you guys.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nawcho:
vibrate in winmo mode? what exactly do you mean? all my calls in froyo are mumbled and i cannot recognize whats being said.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cavemaneca:
Have you tried this? Plug into a power source in WinMo, and it keeps the battery charged even if the battery status says '!', and i heard as long as you booted into Android with the phone plugged in you can unplug it and plug it back in it keeps the battery charged. Tested and worked on mine, plugged it in and booted with 30% and half an hour later or so soft-reset back into WinMo showed 80%.

I've got Desire v3, very stable so far, js.

Radio is 2.10.50.x, stock rom ver idk right now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Morpheus0800:
the speakers were turned off in winmo - the phone only vibrates when an call comes in - changed that to "sound on" in winmo and than also the sound in android works....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] markfostersbeer:
Strange?

Hi everyone i find it weird that the latest froyo build worked fine first 2-3 hours i could put it in and out of sleep and use all functions ie phone, messaging wireless etc but then once its freezes, from there after it is very unreliable crashing all the time, wont come out of sleep.. bla bla bla. I have even formatted the sd card and tried copying the files again from scratch but it has never been the same as the first time i tried. But when back to windows mobile it works fine?

What the hell is that about?

PS keep up the great work!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kendragon:
gps works?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] markfostersbeer:
no gps is not working
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
It definitely wouldn't work currently but it's a very interesting point. Would it be possible, with a change in how the builds work, to have a tiny version of Windows Mobile installed purely so Haret can be executed and the Android build be stored in the phone memory? I strongly suspect this would result in a considerable speed and stability increase.

With the internal memory the HD2 has surely this is a possibility. Has it ever been looked into?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] markfostersbeer:
Also if when running Android it closes all windows services etc why do they recommend turning of auto back light before running it? Makes me belive it is more a windows mobile problem
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eddieul:
Me to, but U dont need to wipe SD card, only delete ".android_secure" folder or every folders made by Android in ROOT of SD card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] toshindou:
Got a Question. Actually I wanted to buy the Desire or any newer android phone later. But now im thinking about to buy a HD 2 becaue I really like the WiMo Sense. Maybe more than the Desire Sense. But i also want to use Android with sense. How good is the Desire Rom working now on the HD 2?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GbrilliantQ:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] markfostersbeer:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dthporro:
got home just 15 minutes ago, no batt, now charging and i'll give it a try!

right now i'm looking for a ultra light version of WinMO ;) anyway i don't know how to do such changes in haret configuration, so i don't think this would work, but just for trying!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] toshindou:
thank you, then I will think about it again ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
It simply won't work currently but, although I'm no expert in this, I can't see why with some work it wouldn't be a possibility. I'm fairly certain it would lead to an increase in stability, speed and, due to less accessing of the memory card, battery life.

However, I can't believe such a thing hasn't been thought of previously but not many Windows Mobile phones have the amount of internal memory the HD2 has so perhaps it hasn't been possible before.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slackersink:
I tried the newest froyo build and it worked great. I had fun playing in a mobile google earth for a while. When I exited and went back to WM, sense wouldn't load and I had to restore it with a backup I made. I guess I'll have to wait for a newer version for that. Otherwise, the same basic concerns. In about an hour I used up about 30% of the battery. Phone sounded terrible. 3G was very slow. Running the stock TMOUS 2.13 rom with the newest cht.

I already miss using it... Can't wait for a public beta!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] antaed:
i'm wondering.. is it possible to ever have an android build optimized for sd card to be good enough for everyday use?

honestly, i would prefer the flexibility of a dual-boot option but unfortunately we don't have sufficient internal memory to accomodate both. so for me, windows on the internal memory and android on the sd card would be perfect...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
It's a good question, and one I have certainly wondered about and have posted about on here previously (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7140269&postcount=287).

I have my doubts about the full time usability of a phone OS where absolutely everything is run and accessed from removable storage, the life of the card is reduced and the speed and reliability is never going to match the internal memory. Maybe it happens but I can't, for example, envision running a phone for a week with no issues or restarts with this configuration.

As for my preference, I would happily lose Windows Mobile tomorrow if a usable and reliable version of Android became available.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dthporro:
found a WinMO ROM that leaves me just after installing 240mb so... if i need just 183mb for Froyo build, why not? :)

now copying files... i'll tell u later the resoults
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
My Froyo Android folder is now 490mb and I only started using it yesterday. It won't stay at under 200mb for very long as everything you do will be saved into that folder by default.

It won't boot anyway but even if it did a lot of work will need to be done before it was usable.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dthporro:
ok sorry for repost but, it DOES work from the main memory, and it booted between 30 and 50 seconds, very fast!! everything works fine, except the known issues, like power BUT i've got to say that the "sleep to death" problem is solved, at least for me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
Really? Wow.

Could you check your memory stick to make sure nothing has been copied accross. It's possible it booted from the main memory but it's now running from the memory card. Also, could you check the memory in settings.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dthporro:
i swear, i would make a video but my hd2 is the only camera i have.

why is your android folder so big? a lot of use? because freshly extracted files are 183mb...

and... something weird it's happening here, in android, i got to "free internal space" and it says 182mb... its pretty good isn't it? also in sd it says 6.94gb free, so maybe all data is saved in sd and just the SO is in the internal memory.

i don't really know, i just know that now this is working!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
Anything that is done with the current configuration is saved to the Android folder as far as I'm aware and I downloaded a few games from the Marketplace as well as the usual changes to the configuration. Also, on first boot, a lot of what is in the Android folder is uncompressed I think which is why it takes a lot longer to boot the first time than the subsequent boots. If you exit Android now and go back into Windows Mobile - that Android folder will now be a bigger.

This looks good though as surely it means with a few alterations the core of the Android build can be run from internal memory.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mccmjoon76:
Wow ! u mean if install in main memory solve the deep sleep problem. we can on and off screen any time we want ? :confused: i'm using the Floyo build :D thanks..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dthporro:
i'm using that build too. in my case, YES, it solved the problem, it wont be bad to someone else to try it. let's see if it's a real solution or if it was something aleatory!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Gimly81:
Is the deep sleep problem you're talking about the screen getting all dark and no way to get it back? I get that with the Froyo build on my HD2 (running from the SD), is there any way to fix that?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dthporro:
yes, i think, and i reapeat, in my case it worked, give it a try, just install a ULTRALIGHT WinMO ROM and then copy android folder in MAIN MEMORY, then run haret.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
Have you checked the size of the Android folder now and how much internal memory you have left after that initial boot?

Shut down, go back into WM and check this. Also, boot again and see if there are any issues, I suspect you might get an error regarding root file system.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ashrak_22:
Which HD2 do you have?

Standard HD2 or TMOUS HD2? (doesn't TMOUS version have 1GiB of internal memory?)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mmbika:
Ubuntu - Please try it out! it is fantastic!

Finally got a work around for USB Host for HD2 and got ubuntu running very well with mouse (haven't yet got USB keyboard for this setup). Looks very promising and changes the whole meaning of having a full blown OS on a 800x480 screen device (HD2) compared to mobile OS like WM or Android etc. Some feedback,

(1) BT doesn't turn on (no device found). I have Logitech Dinovo Mini BT keyboard and if BT works, will like to use that.

(2) Sound & audio doesn't work

(3) Couldn't test WiFI as without USB keyboard coundn't set up network, but BTW, does WiFi work (i.e. internet)? How do you get it online?

(4) Videos plays fantastic (tried some .flv) but w/o sound.

(5) Does 'Landscpe' mode for display work? Does G-Sensor (auto rotate) work?

(6) It seems auto stepping from 245Mhz to 998MHz processor speed based on application/s running and load so it should give a very long battery life.

(7) What happens when it is connected to PC or if other devices are added viaUSB once ubuntu is booted on HD2? I tried to add USB flash drive but it didn't recognize it.

(8) In similar way, what happens if you remove power to USB hub/charger etc.. because so far USB Host mode is powered (I am going to get OTG cable and may be it should work) where power is injected (uplinked) so it is still not a mobile mode because you can't find power point everywhere. Hope this will be solved soon.

Now, will this be able to use inbuilt mobile phone WWAN (i.e. mobile networks to connect to wireless mobile boradbands)? Anyone?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
What was the size of the Android folder? I suspect with only 55mb free you're going to run into issues. Changes will need to be made to the build so just the core of Android runs from the internal memory.

We need someone in the know to comment on this, I know a bit about Unix but this is over my head.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ashrak_22:
Seems Android cannot access your internal storage directly, instead of it it creates file which has x megabytes from start and you have 173 megabytes of free storage in that file.

Can you list which files are on your internal storage a nd which on the card?

And also which WinMo ROM are you using?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dthporro:
yes, i've got issues, it's crashing too much, now booted and it were like 2 minutes working and then crashed.

now i realised that backlight settings wasn't made, i'm gonna try now, with backlight settings off.

ps. in the next post i'll tell you the size of android folder. i forgot, now i'm in android!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
That is my thinking too, a bit like how Virtualbox and VMWare create the file system of a virtual OS.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dthporro:
maybe thats why it crashes 2 o 3 minutes after booting....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
I doubt it. It needs to be remembered that these builds are designed for use totally on the removable storage. It might currently work on the internal memory but I doubt it will be as reliable.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
How big is the Android folder on the SD? As I said earlier, it's possible the extracted files out of the Android folder in the internal memory have been copied to the SD card on the initial boot and you're actually still running from the card instead of the internal.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ashrak_22:
Now what is in your ANdroid folder on Internal memory and what is on Storage Card? (sorry for asking theese dumb questions :) )
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dthporro:
now formated the sd and it does not boot, so i think that it is like Pagnell says, it was copied on first boot or something. Now i'm going to reinstall all againd and see if it really that what's happening.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dthporro:
nope, it doesnt boot. i think the first time i forgot to erase Android folder from SD, i'm gonna try to boot from SD but leaving the files of Android folder in main memory too. maybe this solves the problem anyway!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
The first time you booted from the internal memory, did it boot as if it was the initial boot? In other words, did you get the setup wizard when Android booted?

It's possible it makes no difference where Haret is executed from - it looks at the Android folder on the SD regardless. And therefore what you thought was booting from the internal was actually just your old build off the SD.
