Cool got it to boot. Nothing I can really give back as feedback since Im sure you know all the things that do and don't work. It's really slow when using it. I mean things like opening the program selection screen. The home screen. The Unlock screen. They kind of "lag" as far as performance. Still cool to see it working on the HD2 finally. Hope you all get it working 100%. Thanks for all the effort.

Team- I just have a very silly question, Once this Android build ROM gets perfected, will it always have to boot from windows? Is there a way to have the HD2 completely android even with restart / battery pull?

it will never be perfect port :-) ... but yes, in future you will not need to use HARET (AFAIK)

Who wants to test Android 2.2 (Alpha 2) out?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] allenaero:
how long does this process take !!!!!!!!

Hi ..I extracted the file to the SD card ....and ran the executable file ...but it seems like it going on for ever.....how long did it take u guyz to get it booted on your phones?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DarkStone1337:
Hey guys, here's a couple of tips for using the sense build if you're having trouble booting it,

Use 7-zip to extract the contents of the folder directly to the SD card by using the extract button and specifying the drive letter of the SD card. Drag and dropping will cause the files to be copied to a temp folder before being copied to the SD card.

-

Before running the Sense build, set data.img and system.sqsh to READ-ONLY by right clicking them and ticking the read only box. This prevents the files from corrupting if there is a crash, you can boot android again after a crash without worrying about a corrupt file system! Doing this will cause android not to save changes to the OS whilst it was being used.

-

Don't bother completing the boot of Android if the ticker on the kernel load is ticking much faster than usual, you'll just crash into a BSOD!

Hopefully this will help those who are having issues booting :)

P.S, try out the Nexus one live wallpaper, its awsome!

Hey Guys,

I was able to boot to Android after the second Attempt.

I don't know if this will help those who have problems booting but I usually use SPB Mobileshell as my main interface and after copying all the files to my SD(Without formatting) and tried to boot it gave me a BSOD.

So for the second attempt,I swiched To HTC sense before trying to boot and it WORKED!

I am On kwbr 2.1 and 2.12 radio.

Thanks for your efforts.

Hey folks,

Can you test this build for me and report back if its any more stable than the first Sense build?

I've replaced the file on http://gamesquare.co.uk

Visit the site and redownload the package

Extract the contents to your sd card

Run haret, plug in USB cable connected to charger/pc only AFTER led flashes during haret boot.

Please let me know if there is any improvement :)

CHT

Just experienced some really strange behaviour of Cookies Home Tab.

After testing the Android Build without Sense yesterday i noticed CHT not working anymore.

In the evening I tried Ubuntu, same again.

Today with the Sense Build, guess? Yes the same.

The problem occurs if and only if android got booted, having a bluescreen or some failure before doesn't bring it up.

The really strange think is, that impoting a backup with CHT-Editor or restoring standard values won't change anything.

After reinstalling CHT it will work again but I'm again not able to import my backup (thus "rebuilding" my settings works)

Quite annoying and disturbing as it takes some time to reinstall and reconfigure CHT everytime.

Can anybody confirm a strange behaviour of CHT after trying android?

This might be important because this would proof, that there is some interaction between WM and Linux

edit: problem resists after Hard Reset and changing Radio

Please excuse my novice, I know this is a developer thread but would love to be a guinea pig and help report issues any way possible....

Will this entire process work on US T-Mobile HD2, or only European versions now?

Also, will anyone be kind enough to post a step-by-step from the beginning to load linux kernel then one of the Android builds?

Thanks much and congrats on your incredible work
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] curiousGeorge:
I checked out the USB getup for Ubuntu. The need for an external power supply, though, is the one thing that stands in the way of a truly portable mini-computer. A foldable USB keyboard and mini-mouse would otherwise be great with this -- does anyone know how much (if any) power the HD2 is capable of supplying with its USB-out? Or is the hardware such that there is necessarily none? If that's the case, has anyone even heard of a self-powered (battery powered) USB keyboard and mouse? That would solve the power problem, but I can't seem to find any leads.

Speaking of leads, KDE SC 4.5 reportedly compiles for ARM "out of the box" with very usable vanilla configuration. Can the kernel be provided the custom boot commandline "mem=512mb" or the like? Or is haret also in charge of allotting the kernel the appropriate memory? (Apologies, haret is still new to me.) Assuming the latest radio, the extra RAM should theoretically be accessible, so 512 (or 510mb) shouldn't be off the table. This would ensure much smoother computer-like operation with multitasking, all in the absence of swap (which I have just found to be quite slow on SD cards anyway).

Got a BSOD after a short screen requesting for charger
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cookiesowns:
Yes, there is infact some interation between haret and WM, or linux. My OS ( Stock TMOUSA ) was corrupted after running haret and facing a bluescreen.. It just seems like it mis-writes something, or when haret loads the linux kernal, it corrupts something in WM.

Just my assumption, but yes I have had this issue, did several hard-resets, but it was worth it because it caused me to flash my rom to energy's :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
A quick suggestion from past experience with other HTC devices and porting to android:

1. disable Sense / Manila etc.

2. disable wifi/bluetooth (unless testing needed in further builds)

3. Try turning phone to airplane mode when testing

You can also see if running haret when you have an active GPS signal or wifi or bluetooth enabled, in later builds this may be necessary to get drivers working.

Anyhow, I would always disable Sense/Manila as it can somehow mess it up sometimes and you'll have to hard reset.:(

Good luck and keep reading...:)

thats nasty, had it too, but didnt install anything from this thread yet, I think *..suspicious..* CHT or swype messes up your system.. I couldn't re-enable eighter, soft reset, wait longer between menu selecting and eventually it works. just a little bug, don't worry

Radio: 2.08.50.08_2

SPL : 2.08.0000 <= Sorry, I don't know the difference between HSPL/SPL, but if it helps this was stock (never installed any other)

WM 6.5

Manila 2.5.2015

(Don't know what these following two are, but if its helpful)

G: 15.34.50.07U

D: 2.10.82076

First time it bluescreened, then boot succesfully twice in a row.

Each boot WaveSecure Beta falls, assuming because i have to internet.

It crashes when doing pretty much anything (choosing wallpaper, pressing a key on the keypad).

Its all laggy and flashes and crashes and stuff, but still, great work. Thanks alot for this!

EDIT:

I got an interesting half BSOD.

I booted by instruction with the charger thing (i put it in only after the LED flashed, before i just had it on the whole time), and then it BSOD'ed on the HTC screen when loading, except the screen wasnt all blue, it was semi-transparent and a part of the blue wasn't there all together.

You guys are doing awesome! I tested the latest build and was working okay, I changed the wallpaper to one from my memory card. I was able to pull up the program list and look at programs. Things went weird when I opened the camera application. It showed the camera icon in white on a black screen, then it stretched out and I had to press home. When I got to the home screen, it was upside down, and you had to touch on the opposite, mirrored horizontally side of the screen to select what you want. I tried opening the camera app to see if it would fix it and it BSOD. I had it running for like five minutes though!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Viper Matrix Wireless:
I see that you have no Modules yet. I was thinking about adding a modules to it to see if it fixed the BSOD.

Also adding modules will possibly give u a network connection.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Phenomenon:
Weird enough it's random as to WHEN you get a successful boot to Android and unsuccessful. Haven't really seen a pattern that best works when wanting to boot to Android. For example: I thought that booting it from a fresh restart it would give you a better chance of booting Android without getting a blue screen. While I think the chances are better it's not 100% sure. I did get blue screen even after restarting.

Another thing is the screen brightness on some boots I get a nice bright screen and on others I get a darker screen. Both are visible, but the variation is odd and again random. Still cool as hell to see the progress though.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Viper Matrix Wireless:
