I am getting very irritated and impatient with booting haret. It keeps telling me that it cannot find rootfs and that I need to unzip it to my SD Card. I have already moved the Android folder to my SD Card and did everything I was told to. But I don't understand. Also, is there anyway that I could use the files for new v5 build and put it to the NRG Android ROM? Will it help with the battery charging?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
Froyo is on gamesquare (there is a link in post 4)

"that file that's suppose to enable sound when run before Haret" is there, in post 4

It says: "I recommend you run this program before running HaRET"... the word 'program' is a link ;)

Besides, the builds on gamesquare come with said program

LED Notification

I won't add any thing I think when I say that LED notifications are not working on Desire Byild with sense, but I want to add that LED state on WinMo before booting Android will stay the same and will be stuck after Android is started, example:

- I was charging my HD2 while I'm running Windows mobile, notification LED was orange.

- while the charger connected I started Android.

- I removed the charger, but the LED is still Orange all the time without the charging.

root makes you doing special things that requires root user (superuser).

This is basically done by adding permissions to "su" executable. Without this system brings you back permission denied.

I found that desire v5 was not rooted because I needed to do a screenshot (operation that needs su access)

Hey, i tryed the Desire v5 this morning. ran great from 9 am to around 4 pm with 60% battery loss which i thought was pretty good. But after that i couldnt wake the screen. then every time i boot android after it goes to sleep 2 or 3 times it wont wake up. anyone else having this issue. im using the miri v17 rom. could it be because i havent reformatted my sd card after trying a bunch of different android ports the last few days?

simply overwrite in your sd. nothing else.

Ok, new prob for me and I have not sen it here yet.

I made a call (still robot voice) just to check if robot voice was there.

I tried putting it on speaker to see if that helped (don't know why)

The speaker began to constantly buzz very quietly (is still buzzing)

I could no longer "end call" from the notification bar or call status.

still buzzing... powering off now lol

On another note, when I hit home I go into 'helicopter view' never noticed before. Possibly is supposed to happen? (this was in launcher, not sense).

Desire V5

welcome. hope this helps someone else also :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
Alright.

I have ran Desire V5 for nearly a full day now and here is my report.

There is still the sleep of death (My class 6 microSD comes on Friday, so just gotta wait. :( )

Desire V5 is noticeable faster and I really enjoy having all the widgets up and still running smooth.

Batteries still drain relatively quickly :( I got about 5 hours off 1 charge (2 hours in airplane mode)

WiFi works.

Camera works.

Nearly everything works :)

One thing...

Why is it that when I run cleanRAM in WM right before I boot Linux, it says I have ~350mb of free memory, when I am at ATK in Android, it says I only have ~100mb, why such a dramatic drop?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] numeria:
Okay. So What I tried to do was instead of have an Android folder, I just copied the files to my SD Card and it went past the rootfs.img file. But now it's stuck on the HTC Bootscreen and just keeps redoing that. Any suggestions as to what might cause this? I would really like to try Desire v5.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DarkStone1337:
OK guys, this goes against my better judgement...

I need people to report bugs that cause MAJOR issues in my build (v5).

Things that aren't already known.

I'm not looking for things like "CAMERA IS ONLY 3MP" or "ROBOT VOICE IN CALLS" or "feature X is not working". That stuff is known already and may already have a fix.

I'm talking about things that make the phone crash completely or unstable.

If you can state what Windows Mobile rom you are running along with the radio on your phone with the description of the bug that would be helpful. :) Thanks!

I can't find your Paypal donation link. Please leave it. Yesterday, I was a bit disappointed with v5, but today things went really nice, so thank you for your time and effort!

A little bug I found is the alarm clock: I can set the time I want it to "ring", but after I do that, it doesn't assume it or become active.

For those struggling with robot voice (ONCE AGAIN), try Miri's ROM. I've changed to it (from Dutty's) and now it's all ok.

Is there a way to plug the usb into your laptop and still to able to use the sd card on the hd2? When i plug in my hd2 into my laptop and try to look at the sd card its not there only when i unplug it can i use the sd card.

the only reason im asking is im trying to find a way to charge my hd2 while on android (Froyo) using my laptop and the only way to run it by going on the sd card and opening the android folder and then running the haret file.

I'm sure if I was using the Desire 5 and had dualboot i should be able to charge my phone using my laptop. (I havent tested this out, just saying it sounds logical) But was wondering for Froyo. Thank you.

Again it works fine when I'm using a reg power plug on WB and then loading Android. I am able to charge the phone this way. Just trying to findout how on the laptop using the USB cable.

I can also confirm that there is no alarm.

I cannot speak about the default alarms, but you cannot edit or add an alarm. When you hit 'done' the systems acts as if nothing has changed.

Still cant figure out the constant buzzing I get through speaker phone, and why I can no longer end calls after this happens.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mike infinity:
If I may...as someone who stumbled onto this thread...made a few mistakes...and have since understood a few things.

The trouble with all this is that many people are running cooked ROMs, various radios, etc, etc.... More, the stability of the android system...at least to the uninitiated...is going to seem like it depends on a very complex set of variables. Thats why we keep getting posts on robotic voice, boot problems and everything else.

May I suggest, with all due respect to everyone working so hard on this, that the FAQ's/instructions, etc on the OPs really need to be updated and simplified. If we can treat the OPs as up to date as possible it would really help.

Take for example this one from post #2:

I would say this won't work for many...if not most...people trying things out for the first time. It certainly didn't work for me as I had several problems until I got it running without random freezes and turbo mode. At first I thought the system was simply extreme beta until I realized that the startup conditions for the HD2 are so crucial to the stability. The only thing that consitently works for me is to boot load as soon as the button appears otherwise turbo and random crashes become likely. I have tried lots of the other suggestions on this to no avail....thats why people saying 'just search the thread' is not always appropriate when someone posts a problem.

Moreover, we can cure lots of the 'backlight, battery' questions that are still coming up simply by modifing Dan1's build with the latest zimage so that it doesn't have to be done manually by NOOBs downloading for the first time. if the primary download link for dan1 on the OPs already had updated Zimage it would eliminate several of these repeated posts.

It would also be nice to to have a clearer list of known issues...there aren't really that many once you get it up and running. The video camera, incorrectly sized apps in OPENGL froyo. Stability issues VANISH once the sytem is properly booted.

Finally, it would be nice on the OPs to have a list of known ROMs/Radios that work (ie no robotic voice, etc).

Don't get me wrong...I'm just offering a humble suggestion. I really appreciate what has been done so far and don't wan't anyone who has worked on the OPs to take it the wrong way. They deserve nothing but kudos.

I just don't know which is worse...all the posters repeating the same issues...or the posters repeatedly complaining about these posts.

MMS Port: 8080

MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

APN Type: (leave this blank)

2nd - To be able to record video - download qik from market- works great and saves your videos to the phone so can be played back in any player...

Just trying to help as much as I can Thanks so much to all the devs.

Everything else working great battery last about 4 hours at full play and take about the same to rechARGE iM LOVING IT..

Wifi died

I have found with Desire V5, when my phone goes to sleep, deep sleep - not just a couple of seconds - the Wifi disconnects. This, I would think is normal. However, upon awakening from said sleep, the Wifi does not reconnect nor do I get a notification that networks are around (there are multiple open networks around my house). Bug? maybe... or is it by design.

On that note, I noticed this after I added the media to my SD card, unrelated?.. likely.

how do u over clock the CPU
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mike infinity:
Which is very helpful. :)

Still, many newcomers are going to be thrown by the fact that the instruction to simply extract the build to the root of the SD card and run HARET on post 2 probably won't work.

More, your instructions for dan1j3l build on post 4 will cause several people to install a zImage with the battery charging and backlight problems since the download link includes an older zImage. After they follow those instructions they will have to come back to the FAQ and realize they should have read further and updated the zImage manually first. Once they do that they will likely run into the data.img boot problem next time they run Haret, etc, etc. Some won't think of coming back to the FAQ and start posting the same questions instead.

When you build lego you start at the begininng and follow the assembly instructions. It would be a cruel trick to have known faulty instructions on page 2 that aren't revealed until you get to the trouble-shooting section.

Same thing here. It doesn't help that the first instructions in this thread are almost certainly setting everyone up for instability when they first execute Haret (esp for the froyo build).

Worse is that the list of known issues is out of date...so that if you get instability you might (like I did) believe this was normal in the current state of the builds when actually they are now extremely stable and the instabilities were caused by boot conditions.

Given all this, its not hard to see why the questions are repeated ad infinitum.

Again...these are just my humble observations and my suggestions for cutting down on some of the frustrations...I am VERY happy to be near a stable froyo on my HD2.
