Using the dual boot app migh give you a better chance of booting into android properly so I would recommend it.

Also you could try changing your radio to the 2.10.50.08_2 radio as that gives good results.

Gmail access

I've read upon similar posts to mine but none of their solutions have worked for me so now I post. Hopefully someone shall respond in this ever-growing thread. The issue is that I seem unable to access android market or the gmail app. The weather, news, browser and gtalk apps all worked while I was connected to wifi yet whenever I go into the android market it justs say "loading" and in gmail it says "your email will appear shortly", which thus far has appeared to be nothing more than a blatant lie. Now, I am aware of android market not being available in certain countries and as of the moment I am currently in Sudan for personal reasons so I suspected that may have been why the market isn't working. But I doubt it would just say "loading" forever without giving some sort of message regarding market availability. In addition to this, gmail doesn't appear to be region locked which further reaffirms my belief this is an android issue. So in short, what suggestions do people have for the gmail app to work? I don't really care about android market on account of not being able to download anything due my location but I would like to sync my email. Any and all suggestions are welcomed! Keep in mind, I only have fleetingly available wifi access (rare and hard to come by in these parts...).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jawash22:
logout of Gmail and login using wifi and input all of your gmail info, same for market. Once it logs you in then you can exit wifi and use 3G connection. I read earlier that for some reason it makes you login with wifi, but it will remember you after that. Good luck!

Organize Android on SD card

Great Job Devs! Been following since day 1 here. I am pretty up to speed on what is happening with android and this thread, I try not to post so I don't clutter too much.

That being said, I use the desire builds radio 2.13... custom TmoUS rom. Still have no audio in calls. [non issue atm]

Sorry, my question: can I keep all android files located in and android folder instead of the root of my SD card. This would make it a lot easier when switching from build to build. It is simple at first, but when you start adding apps and what not, one winds up with a plethora of misc. files that can be trouble to sort through.

Thanks and keep it up!

If this has been addressed, and I missed it, sorry.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elgar:
Trying desire v4. It has been running for about an hour so far. But the battery drain is too big. Even with the charger, it drained battery from 50% to 12%. Wifi was always on.

How can it be solved, or is it a bug?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
Your Android build is prbably booting in Hyper Mode which affects the time. You know if you are in hyper mode as the blinking cursor at the bottom of the screen while android is loading is ectremely fast.

If thats the case then try loading Android within 30 seconds of booting into Widows Mobile or use a dual boot app as desribed in the FAQ (post#4) to speed up the boot process.

Mark.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tundra84:
Yes it is possible, I personally keep all of the files of each android build in its own folder on the root of my sd card, each labeled with the name and version of the build. Then when I want to use the build I simply copy out all the files (and in dan's froyo, I just copy out the "android" folder"). Hope that answers your question.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
PLEASE read the FAQ in future. Excessive battery drain is a known problem and im sure its being worked on by the developers.

Mark.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tundra84:
Unfortunately atm, it appears power management is still an issue being worked on. Although, I suggest using dan's froyo as it appears to have the best power management out of all the different android builds. For me, 3 hours and 9 minutes only drained 35%. Once this battery issue is resolved I imagine it shall be quite easy to use android as a day to day os.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
Thanks, for your response. And, that is what I thought. I can keep them organized in folders, but to use them they must be in root. I was hoping they could run from their respective folders. This too will be a non issue when we can flash a rom. But it is nice to have multiple builds (operating systems) on one device.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SeanX:
Yes. It works fine for me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tundra84:
I actually see it as another advantage. You don't see any other android devices with the ability to switch between multiple builds with such ease. ;)

Been following this thread everyday for a while now. Don't think this has been mentioned before.

After I take some pictures with the camera, the pictures are stored in DCIM/Camera folder on the SD card. I went to that location and deleted those pictures. But when I went back to camera, pressed menu then gallery. Those pictures are still there. Does this mean those pictures are stored in multiple locations?

Thanks.

DESIRE V4 works best and all desire builds have worked well for me. I suggest people to try Desire build with Sense because HD2 natively came with Sense and so Desire builds are more adaptive to the device compared to nexus one clones. This is however my opinion.

Have been running Desire V4 since last day and night and device works as if it has native android, Sleeps, Wakes Up, Charges and does almost everything except GPS which is not yet built in into the build. I have used it for more than 20 hours continuously and it is going on without any issue or hang ups or anything and everything is very fast compared to native WM like web browsing (pages loads in a ziff) and streaming and games (and that too when it is running from stock 16GB SD Card class 2 which came with HD2! so when it will be ported to flash, it is going to be even more excellent) Was able to get 25.2 FPS in Neocore game, so no doubt, this is very promising future. I am going to run it for days now until new build comes up. Also downloaded and installed some 50 apps and except GPS dependent ones, all run smooth.

For the next new build when it comes up (i.e. Desire V5) I have the following points,

(1) How do I keep installed applications from previous build as I don't want to download and install apps again? Is there any way to backup or re-port the installed apps to new version?

(2) Does USB Host work in current version? I mean I would like to add some flash drive and see if it does even in a similar USB Host setup required in Ubuntu.

BTW, I have also managed to run Desire V4 from a folder within a folder in SD Card (and not from the root of SD Card, i.e. without copying everything to root). I have something like SD Card\Leo Android Builds\Desire v4\ and from there I run CLRCAD.EXE and HARET.EXE for Desire v4.

Great on you Desire v4!

No, not at all! So far, I have kept it in charger and has been charging and whenever I remove the charger, battery is 100%. Even haven't noticed any significant battery drain in normal carry-with-you-during-the-day mode. I am going to let it run whole day today without charging in my pocket and I will quote again how much it drains.

The kernel is working as you can see with the media players, but it's not fully functional. Its still missing many drivers like sound, touchscreen, etc. We can maybe get a booting copy of android or ubuntu, but they won't be very functional. It would just be for proof of concept.

Getting the linux 'kernel' to work through haret was the priority, otherwise drcodes wouldn't be wanting to get Android on the phone so badly. Why the hell would you want to put Ubuntu on such a small screen? Really? You'll be killing all your phone features off.

do you think it would be working? cause N900 has resistive touch screen, and there is no devices on maemo with capacitive ones. BUT i've had N900 before HD2, and it's great! great OS, but only landscape would be very unusable with hd2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] biscuits1978:
I played with Ubuntu on my Rhodium before I moved to the Leo. It's really not that bad, and the Rhodium has a smaller screen than the Leo. I don't know what phone features you're talking about 'killing' -- they may not have been developed yet, so wouldn't getting a somewhat working Ubuntu port perpetuate developers into making phone features for it? After all, they say "Necessity is the mother of invention".

Nonetheless, both are based on Linux, and dcordes along with others are making strides into making it work on the HD2. Just grab your popcorn, relax, and let the talk of all forms of Linux-mobile take off.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Read the first post... he lists angstrom, ubuntu, android, etc.... this thread is about linux. Android may be your priority, but it doesn't mean it's everybodies. It didn't sound like dcordes has android as a priority. There's still a lot of work needed to be done for the kernel, anyways. It would be great to get a mobile version of ubuntu working or maemo. I buy my devices more for the pda/pocket pc functionality than for the phone part. I don't care if I lose phone functions while I boot ubuntu. (Personally, I still wish pocket pcs and phones were never integrated... I miss my non-phone pocket pcs.)

Don't get me wrong, I want to be able to boot into android as well... but don't say this thread is only for android. It's for anything linux.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] BLAST3RR:
It isn't open source/customizable/LINUX for no reason..

Ubuntu is very flexible.. It provides a decent base for any mobile device, as you could have seen on the page I linked to.. It's nonsense to talk about these things while you don't know where you are talking about..

There will be people working on Android, no worries there.. Just some people are suggesting other distributions too now. And they are allowed to. It isn't like Android is the only candidate to run on our beloved HD2's.

So please, don't get all cranky now, being afraid your personal preference won't be coming to your HD2..

Start a bounty or something if you want to be sure.

With that, who are you with your 14 posts (probably all non-useful for any development), to tell someone who is a 'Senior Member' to shut up? Isn't that kind of unethical? Ofcourse, you are entitled to post whatever you want here.. Voicing your opinion is not the problem, the way you present it is.

Have some respect for other users around here, who want to see Android working on their HD2 just as much as you do, but are just open to wanting to look into other distributions.

Please, give it a thought before telling anyone to shut up again in the future.

Well... post 1 of this thread hasn't been updated by dcordes and if they had a major breakthrough like a fully functional linux kernel, i'd be willing to bet it would be all over xda and the net as well.

It will be interesting regardless of which version of linux gets ported, perhaps once the first one gets finished, other builds (i.e. ubuntu) will follow pretty quickly.

My guess is that even if Linux is working, Android is still going to take a good bit of work to become even moderately functional. I think a bit of patience from all of us is in order.

BTW... Thanks to all the dcordes and all the dev's that are working on this. There are many of us that are watching and not particularly vocal... but are truly appreciative of your efforts.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Read a couple pages up. The kernel boots. It's not fully functional yet though, as it's missing a lot of drivers like sound and touchscreen. Hopefully we can boot android, but it won't be very usable until we get more drivers working. I hear that they are having trouble booting android, though. May be because of no hardware acceleration implemented in the kernel yet... i don't know. But progress is being made. It'll still be probably months before we have a functional port of android with most functionality. Could be up to a year or more before it's as functional as a phone that came with android, if it's ever gets as smooth and functional as that.

These are all just guesstimates, though. I'm not a developer and who knows what problems will come up and how many developers will work on this and for how long. Only time will tell. It will be great when we have a decently functional android port we can boot into when we want... or maemo or ubuntu. This may make the HD2 one of the most diverse devices out there.

Update: I was just reading the irc chat logs.... netripper mentioned that the HD2 linux kernel is unable to use any existing android binaries, so android will have to be built from scratch.... thats apparently why dcordes is calling out to chefs on the twitter post. So I think this means we can't use any existing roms and just port it over.... this sounds like it will make things a bit more complicated and time consuming.
