True, I see the benefits to running your version and I've infact just reloaded V4, due to the instability problems of the Froyo build.

Is there a way to utilize the Froyo messaging interface? It uses a smaller font base and is generally more pleasing to the eyes to use.

I'll also say while Flash isn't the greatest thing ever, it is nice to have on Froyo.

Once again the latest zimage from cotulla has greatly improved performance. Working almost perfectly. Only one issue has anyone else noticed a weaker signal while running android. I rebooted to win mo and and had full strength signal, immediately restarted and booted into android and only had between 1 and 2 bars. Other than that I have been using this daily with minimal problems. Thks devs.

I have seen no stability issues with the froyo build. I ran it all day today with no signigicant problems at all and pretty good battery life. At first I thought the desire build was faster, but here are my observation after a few days of fiddling with them:

Pros for Froyo (dan1 with latest cotulla zimage):

1. Desire seems faster at first (2d scrolling in particular). However if you try it with animated wallpaper it seems more laggy. Apples to apples. Try froyo with a static wallpaper and desire with the default froyo (neural wallpaper). Froyo is definitely snappier than desire across the board when you test with the same wallpapers. The wallpaper matters.

2. Froyo is definitely faster scrolling through apps like marketplace, etc. Faster processing in apps as well.

3. The FPS scores in Quadrant are quite a bit higher with the froyo build. CPU score is doubled thanks to froyo optimizations.

4. OS/UI in froyo.

Pros for Desire build:

1. It runs openGL apps full screen.

2. It runs openGL titles like Asphalt (unplayable though) and neocore.

no Charging WM

Anyone besides me having a really hard time trying to charge their phone when going back to Wm??? its aggravating i have to hold the phone in my hand on a certain angle for the charge light and charging icon to go on, if i let it go it will stop charging. But when plugged to the Pc its normal..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] coolbeer1990:
True true ! you r right. when i asked people they told me that your sound feels like you r near a waterfall or a windy place and a lot of disturbance could be heard by them . but still they said its audible ! it will be surely solved when new zimages appears and drivers are updated :)

Ok so I may have missed it but since the last time I looked at this forum the was 45 less pages to read lol.. so this question I may have missed trying to catch upo but I copied this from like pg 452 or something.. but how to get htis resloved:

Gen.Y DualBoot does work with with hd2 android dual booting. Only it doesn't autoload clrcad which will be unnecessary in the future. Jmz dual boot supports clrcad.exe but does not support froyo launch under android folder.

does anyone know if gen.y dualboot can be manipulated to load clrcad?? it has a much sweeter ui than jmz.. anyone??

edit: also im using dan's froyo with the latest cotulla zimage... and dam its sweet!!! talk about a daily driver!

no gsod or green when backlight goes away.. plus market works normal speed..

Also I just started using my new 8gn class 6 card and dam its sweet!! major difference in performance in loading and using Android. THANK YOU SO MUCH DEVS FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Knucklessg1:
OMG that would be so awesome! so it would be a dualbooting ROM? would you create an app in either OS to choose which one autoboots and such?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pandnaka:
Ok cool at lease am not the only one have windy sound when people hear me talk, I know the dev team must have a lot of fun coding the Droid to run on hd2, I hope some day we"ll see the the cab to flash on the main Rom, winmo suck but hd2 hardware are all that

Is there anyway to back up all apps and/or settings from Android Danj build? Is it stored in "zImage" file or another file i can simply copy to my computer and save it as a back up for all my settings and apps?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kendric84:
I would like to join in, thanking all that have put in countless hours on this project.

I've been running the Froyo build (my preference thus far) for 24+ hours without a single crash or need to reboot.

Since all the hard work has so quickly gotten us to the point of nearly perfect (beta) builds, able to be used day-to-day, I'm interested if there is a way to tell how long since your last reboot? Something like CPU time in Windows task manager? Could help identify configurations that seem to play nice with the available builds...

Thanks again. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reocej:
For those having performance issues (lag) with the latest builds, it is probably related to the type of sd card you are using. Ie, I'm using a 4gb class 6 card and both desire and froyo builds are quite responsive with no (unusual) lag or freezes. Everything is running from the sd card, so your card might be the bottleneck. Get yourselves a quality sd card so you can really enjoy all that Android goodness!;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xanderdad:
Actually, even with the latest zImage, I experienced SOD problems along with random freezes which seemed to be mostly related to the accelerometer.

I completely prefer the Froyo interface and performance, but it's not usable in that state currently. I don't have any of those issues with V4.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mobilelew:
Yeah that would be nice.

Also, I just loaded Miri's latest xtralight rom and it seems to make Android a little bit snappier.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dangerously:
The problems you are having are corrected by using the Desire V4 build. No need to flash to another ROM. My steps only correct the "robotic voice" people are reporting. Sleep of death is a known issue and can be corrected by changing the backlight to 30min in WinMo on the older test builds.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ATomCZ:
I have small questions.

In latest version of Desire v4 are not arrows keys on HTC keyboard as was in older version is possible turn it back?

And is possible to get root acces? I found some preinstalled app "Superuser permission" but this do nothing. I also tried to call "su" command from terminal and it write "Permission denied". How to give it? On google I found only method for concrete device.

Ans is possible run this Android in recovery mode?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] wulfn:
hmm, your all over the place lol. But from what i believe is that you cannot use the root access function yet cause we are running the OS off of the mem stick, not the device itself, all thou it would be nice to try to use the overclock app in the app store (use it on my mytouch 3g with eclair) :)

Check out the Kingston Class 10 micro SD!

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=50066&vpn=SDC10/16GB-2ADPCR&manufacture=Kingston

This is not a typo as new classes were introduced a while ago. Never thought class 10 would be seen for the little guys as the the "big brother" is always first and the "little one" is years behind.

Would love to see the performance with this card running android. Not really digging the price though...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
I have just put Android (2.2) with the 7-19 zImage on my HD2, and am pleased to report this.

Proximity sensor works beautifully.

Screen rotates as well, and as fast as the Nexus One's.

Camera works very well.

Calls in both ways work as they should with no echo or robot noise.

Battery drain is only a bit more than in WM, 4% in about 10 minutes of heavy use.

I have had no slowdowns or problems so far except I have run into the sleep of death, which is a shame because I was going to switch to this tomorrow, but oh well.

Amazing job devs, only a few more things to fix.

EDIT : Battery charges, albeit a little slowly...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tundra84:
Thanks and yeah, that helps a bit. And is sniper shot included in the rom or did you download that yourself? Because for me abduction and teeter work perfectly...?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jinan:
In my case, battery only charges when I am using the AC charger. Android does not charge the battery when connected to PC via USB, although the charging indicator shows as charging. This is acceptable though, as the "Leo/status" page on the forum shows as "Battery charging" at "testing" stage... Anxiously waiting for the tests to finish and released to public.

Ok so I am running Desire v4 works great, I searched all through this thread for this and cant find anything. On first boot you can pick between sense and non sense, I know it says it permanently stays on what you pick (sense non-sense) but if I wanted to go back to sense? is there an easy way or do i need to delete all files and reload and start over? Thanks in advance

also what file or folders does android store all of your settings and information? could not find it on a search either.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Carliz89:
How do i do that?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zenith601:
First of all thanks to all developers for amazing work they are doing. It's just incredible how fast these builds have been developed and improved after haret was patched last month.

My configuration is:

Froyo Dan1j3l V.1 release with the last cotulla image (19/07)

WM custom ROM CleanEX DSE (last version)

Radio 2.12.50.02

Android installed on MicroSd SanDisk UltraII 2gb

After one day testing these are my impressions:

WORKING

Wifi

3g (apn to be set manually, but it's a fault from my service provider)

audio (but volume level is quite low compared to WM)

sleep mode

camera

sensors/rotation

battery indication

battery charging (only with "connect before launch haret" trick)

programs installation

NOT WORKING

video mode (it hangs up the camera application)

gps

Bluetooth (can be switched ON, but the device isn't discoverable and cannot find other devices)

Generally speaking this release is working really well, I'm impressed.

All the menus, gestures, transitions work very smooth and flawlessy. It looks like sometimes doesn't save my google account password and I have to put it on again when I switch off/on.

I would say I'm quite near to an everyday stable build with this configuration.

I have tried also the Sense V4 build, it works good that one as well, but power consumption looks higher and it warms up the phone, so for the moment I'll stick with froyo release.

And by the way, I have never used an Android phone before (just played with some friends' models) but I really like this OS and I hope we'll see a full dual boot in the future.

:D

I personally have been using the Desire v3 Build since it was released, no real "desire" to switch to v4 until I can figure out how to transfer all of my current settings and apps and whatnot over with it... Any help to someone semi-new to android here? Would keeping the old data.img do the trick?

Anyway, a few 'non-issues' I've discovered with my intense use of this build...

1: When I have a new message, it takes 2 presses of the end key to return from sleep.

2: after the phone has been asleep for about 5 minutes, battery consumption lowers and drains slower. This is even with WiFi and 3g on.(checking messages every 2-3 minutes even when entering/exiting sleep and it drains just as fast as with sleep off/30 minutes, even with wifi/3g/sound/backlight turned off)

i.e. normal, WiFi/3G on, medium backlight, sound, and no sleep = 15%/hour

after sleeping for about 5 minutes, any setting = 2%/hour

3: Occasionally leaving phone asleep for 1/2 hour+ triggers SOD

4: When battery is <10% it's hard to wake from sleep, and <5% almost always SOD

Even with these issues, I've been using this build instead of WinMo for the past like 5 days, and only switched back to WinMo about 10-15 times due to freeze or zImage update.

There is an app in the market called Astro file manager.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cavemaneca:
I'm saying, is there a simple way of just keeping everything EXACTLY as it is, but have a newer build? Like, where are the settings stored for everything? That's what I was asking about the data.img. Or are these things tied with the important parts of the build being updated anyway?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
Unfortunately though, it's an opinion which makes no sense, if you excuse the pun. Remember, the Nexus One is also made by HTC. Sense is no more 'adaptive' to the HD2 as it would be to the Nexus One if someone decided to install it on one.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MarDor:
alright I misunderstood you then.

I'm affraid I can't help you.

The only thing I know is My Backup pro. It backs up all of your settings and also apps, but it is a paid app. I used it with my Hero and worked great, but I don't know if it works with these builds.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zenith601:
I think he was referring just to the fact that if you have used Sense on WM, you should have less problem to use Sense on Android rather than stock Android. Even if I'm not totally sure of that... I still prefer the stock Android, at least with froyo. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] arifqur:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Beefheart:
Agreed, I find Froyo better than the Desire builds myself. But Darkstone is regularly updating the Desire builds where as Dan hasn't made an update to Froyo since last Wednesday. I will probably swap over to the Desire build today if Darkstone updates as promised earlier, especially if he manages to sort the proper charging and button backlight issues out.

One thing I did notice though, I briefly run the Desire build last night and my phone was considerably hotter than it ever gets with the Froyo build. This might have something to do with the apps running full screen and the Qualcomm accelerated drivers working.

Hi, I am currently running the Desire V4. Everything started well when I first boot it up. But since I restarted my HD2 and boot into Android again, now I get the error message saying "Process android.process.acore is not responding" and prompting for a choice of "Force close" or "Wait". No matter what I choose, it will come up with another error message "The process andriod.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." with the only button "Force close" to click on. After this, the same message will appear every minute or so. Is there a way to solve this problem?
