No. Min'es been up for half a day now and I still have 50% charge. I've been playing around with the phone all morning though, so I guess bettery's good, comparable perhaps to winmo's battery usage

Not being funny but did you see the bit at the top of every page on this thread which says "[Discussion]Linux and Android on the HD2 *READ POST4 BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS*" ?

I can asssure you your question will be answered there. Hint: You (probably) need to HardSPL and update your radio :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cavemaneca:
First suggestion, search.

Second suggestion(one that was posted), set the phone to not lock, but display darken after 10 seconds or so, and when screen goes dark the buttons turn off. then touch the screen, and the lights don't turn on but you can go to file manager/whatever and start haret.

third, search google for some patch or cab to disable hardware button backlights.

Try a different rom. I've had the backlight issue with a couple different custom roms. Now I'm using Energy.Leo.23121.Sense2.5.Reference.Jul.21 and not having backlight buttons issue. You should be fine with any Energy rom. There is a setting in winmo to disable backlights on startup, but can't remeber. You'll have to search for it if you want to keep your current setup.

Don't mean to be a nuisance, i appreciate the work and this guide, BUT,

Links in the origninal post (to the android builds) are torrents.

It's open source material, can we please get real links (RS; Hotfile, Deposit, Zippy?)

Hell, i will upload them to RS premium, if you want.

I just don't think torrents are the safest/most efficient way to download data.

thank you for your time.

You probably have location services on which uses IP addresses and other networking data to determine your location. Mine puts me within ~70m without GPS which is more than enough for the apps that just need a general location like weather, etc.

Apps that just check GPS data don't work in any of these builds AFAIK.

That's really funny.

I believe he would be referring to your bad grammar while criticizing the guy that's at least trying to speak English.

The saying goes, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Those who are vulnerable should not attack others. The proverb has been traced back to Geoffrey Chaucer's 'Troilus and Criseyde' (1385).

George Herbert wrote in 1651: 'Whose house is of glass, must not throw stones at another.' This saying is first cited in the United States in 'William & Mary College Quarterly' (1710).

Twenty-six years later Benjamin Franklin wrote, 'Don't throw stones at your neighbors', if your own windows are glass.' 'To live in a glass house' is used as a figure of speech referring to vulnerability." From "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" (1996) by Gregory Y. Titelman (Random House, New York, 1996).

Yes, Energy Roms turn off backlight. I just switched to Energy because with some other Roms your backlight will never turn off and thus, eat battery.

Ok, a problem here.

First what i am running.

NRG.WM. barebones.ROM. Radio: 2.08.50.08_2. HSPL_2

JMZ Dualboot installed.

Now my problem.

I have been running Darkstone DesireV5 build off one of my 3 SD cards for the past 3/4 days without any problems whatsoever. And have pretty much used it as mu primary phone.

However, when I tried installing his Froyo build I keep getting this error message in linux boot

/ failed to mount the sd card. cannot continue

/ bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

/

I get a similar message when trying to install Dan's froyo build too (though not in the exact same words) but its still a SD card mount issue. I have reformatted both my other Sd cards at least five times each and tried again but nothing. And I know the Sd cards work cause everything else can read them including the phone when I am in winmo mode. I don't get what the problem could be as the desireV5 build still boots up flawlessly every time.

I'm going to try and put the exat same desireV5 build I copied to my primary Sd card and try it with one of the other Sd cards to make sure its really not the cards.

Some help will be much appreciated. thanks.

Yh I am having a similar problem. i really don't get what is going on. Especially considering I just tried putting the rom that I am currently using on another Sd card and it still won't boot past linux. I have been doing my formatting using a mac though so I will try and windows PC. I can only imagine that the card is the problem.

I would have thought that maybe these new builds can't run off a class 2 SD card (which is what I think I have thanks to the 2 written on it) but I am and having been running DV5 on one such scandisk class 2 8Gb card. The other two are also scandisk and 8Gb.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reocej:
This is pretty much standard with any combo, but I think it is less common with better sd cards. Try a class 4 or higher card if you aren't already. Also, search for and set up setcpu on your phone and a good task manager/killer. This will help until devs get a the wrinkles ironed out. Right now, I think the best thing you can do (performance wise) if you're just a tester is get a good class 4 or better card to test with.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jawash22:
We need more info like which version you are trying to boot. It takes up to 5 minutes to boot anyways. Also, what are you running in Winmo? Also, don't use a bootloader as they don't work for everyone.

Please look at my post on the previous page I provided sufficient info... and i have tried not using JMZ too and to boot directly from FE. But even that doesn't work. And whats funny is that even trying to use the same copy of the working rom I have on my primary SD card I still run into the same issue. With or without JMZ. But the android DV5 I have on my primary sd card still works every time. All three Sd cards are Scandisk Class 2 8Gb cards.

I wasn't trying to flame or start an off-topic grammar war or anything. The guy was obviously just trying to get some answers and derisively pointing out that his grammar was lacking didn't seem like the best way to help, and doing so while in turn using bad grammar seemed humorously ironic. It's all good man we're all here to help each other get a stable/working/awesome build on our HD2s, no harm meant.

You have to admit it was kinda funny.

This is a great format and maybe a Mod could standardize this as the way to present your issues since we are all on different radios, ROMs, and builds.

hey guys, i been following this development for quit some time now and i been trying out the new builds as they are released, i have tried desire V5, and i liked it very much only thing was the facebook contacts didn't synce, so i started using dan1j31 build and i loved it, everything works perfectly, smooth, fast, no lag, occasionally the screen wouldn't come on but after putting it back to sleep it would work fine again, i am using, the standard energy ROM, HSPL3, with 2.10.50.26 radio, i get no echo, no robo voice, just good quality clear calls. i'm also using the NOSPEEDY zimage. however the only issue i ran into is this ROOTFS, if i have to restart my phone and try to boot back into android it doesn't allow me to, while in linux it say "failed to find ROOTFS, unzip to root of SD but i already did that, i searched the threads and it seems like other have been having the same issue, i read that i should rename the ROOTFS to ROOTFS.img and i tried that with no success. can someone help me with this issue, i would appreciate it, and as you can see i already searched the post, so please don't flame me for this, i obviously tried and have hit a brick wall. thanks in advance.
