Few newb questions if i get warned im sorry.

Ok had a few newb questions i couldn't really find after /search.

1) Congrats to devs on this you guys are damn genius's keep up the good work and once i get some money ill definitely donate.

2) Once the android build has been ported so that everything works would one need to switch there t-mobile (im tmobile usa customer) internet package to android package? I ask this in regards to the app downloading.

3) When android is working completely on the HD2 do you guys think that HTC may fold in and just release hd2's with android or a patch / fix to allow installation of android through them? I ask the prior question because I feel that it would be a sort of blow to HTC to show them that the mobile phone community will overcome w/e obstacles thrown @ us if a great piece of hardware has an unwanted (by most) piece of software.

once again mods please forgive me if these questions were answered but i didnt even find them asked anywhere. thanks dev's like I said once i get some money ill send a round of beer on me.

Ok folks, check out http://gamesquare.co.uk/froyo.html for information about the build!

I've had good reports from beta testers about the fluidity and speed of the build :)

(thanks to dan1j3l for allowing me to use his rootfs!)

Should we update the zImage on the Darkstone Froyo since the one in there is the july 22nd one?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DarkStone1337:
Try the one included first, if you're not happy then try the newest one :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stealthdragonb:
anyone know what is the best way of removing an android version without formatting the sd card or doing any hard reset on the phone so that we can put another version of android on the sd card?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] A11-STAR:
It's true!

And what if we say we like one over the other??? Then, Darkstone will be mad at me, or Dan will get up in my face!

O DEAR GOD!!!1!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
-seems fast and fluid

-title bar does not hide with browser

-occasional green screen of death (gsod) while booting (this also occasionally happened in the past)

-camera flash pictures come out overexposed (white) (dans froyo sense rc1 has proper exposure with flash)

-camcorder and turning on flash led doesn't work. (dans froyo sense rc1 can turn on camera flash constantly)

-frequent network error occured retry

with 3g (also happens with dans froyo sense rc1)

-have dans froyo without sense v1 level flash performance. (about %10 slower flash than dans never builds, but 2.5x faster than eclair builds.)

Oh man, every build has cons and pros. There still is no all in one build. Some have camcorder/flash working, some have title bar hidden with browser, some are fast, some have usb storage working, some have root, some have more reliable 3g data.

Currently it seems, if you select some build, then you have to give up some functions.

Given what is currently available, the best build would have:

-froyo

-camcorder flash

-camera with proper exposure

-hidden title bar with browser

-high adobe flash and javascript performance

-working usb storage

-root

-reliable 3g data

-smooth app drawer animation

(This list is not meant for darkstones build but all working functions with all builds in total)

I was hopeful, darkstones froyo would be like that, but not yet. Still, good work.

But I think it is not correct to say that basically everything works. This build is still missing functions that other builds have. (I have stated above)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Julian713:
Did you mean try "with" the one included first? Just double checking, not trying to be rude or anything.

Also your work is AMAZING!!!! :)

Probs to dan1j3l and Cotulla also!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DarkStone1337:
If you're unhappy with what you have now, then make your own build if you think it's easy enough.

You know, making a build isn't easy. Don't expect EVERYTHING to work, this is still a WIP. You must always keep this in mind or else you WILL be disappointed. And no, bugging devs for features isn't going to help.

Anyway, if you actually checked my site, you would see me mention that camcorder isn't working (and I gave some advice about that)

Photo's do not come over exposed to me, I don't know why this happens to you.

3G is the same, I have no issue with 3g, are you sure you put in the right settings?

Root is enabled (check readme)

USB Storage works

Flash is not my highest concern, my concern is making a STABLE build, not the one with the latest features.

I hope everyone understands that.

Ah typo! Yep I mean with :P

Stellar reviews you have going on here....

Please keep it up. I know there are a ton of lurkers who really would love to know what you just typed. Thank you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kilroy672:
With all of us using these Androids builds. I got to thinking. Is there anyway of T-Mobile knowing that we are using Android instead of WM? I'm aware that its rooted in the sd card, but still wonder. Also I've re-downloaded a app that I used when I had my G1, its called Sportstap. It gives me live notifications of all the baseball scores. I'm hoping that does not go against my text messages, only have 500. I know when I had the Android package before it did not go against my total amount. Anyone know about this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
I am having only one problem with the new Darkstone Froyo build. It does not want to work with my Wifi. Data works fine and I'm getting 3G but it won't obtain an IP address from my router... any ideas?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
You got me wrong Darkstone. But that is my fault. It is because the way I write.

What I am trying to accomplish is, test all available combinations, write about them so people don't ask before trying. I appreciate what you are doing.

I do test every build throughly. I know what is in the readme. I meant camcorder flash was not working. (3rd party torch apps and camcorder app itself could enable led constantly with dans) I was trying to point out missing features that are available with other builds so you can do them with your next version. Adobe Flash with this version is good. Its still 2.5x faster than 2.1 desire builds. Dans build also have weaknesses, which your build excels at. Combining these features would be the goal.

Try shooting in close range with yours and dans build. You will get white over exposures with yours.

Please don't put me in the same basket with noobs. I am trying to help the community and trying to help future builds better. I see people appreciate my reviews. I am in NO WAY complaining, I am just REPORTING, GIVING FEEDBACK. I am not disappointed with the build, I am disappointed the way I am treated. But that is, again, my fault. I actually checked your site. I wrote again for hundreds of people who WON'T ACTUALLY check your site. Do an advanced search on my user name and see my previous posts.

I did not say no root OR no usb storage. You didn't read my post properly. I was talking about a theoretical build at the end of my post, they are not related to your build.

Usb storage sometimes doesn't work. I disable USB debugging and the letter comes up in my computer but I cannot access its contents. The mount animation does NOT END in Android, maybe it is conflicting with running Market. When newly booted, it works.

The sim cards of my operator has fixed settings for 3g apn user name etc, and no configuration is needed. All builds 3g data directly work. The network retry error is probably because of 3g-2g transition happening too often, and timeout value is too low for ip.

A %10 slower flash performance might mean something is using the cpu by default. It is consistent.

There is no competition, no build is better than another in every way.

Hey Darkstone are you still gonna be doing a sense build? I'm kinda disappointed the HTC widgets aren't there in v5 any plans on adding them again, like having a full Rom & lite Rom?

Hi,guys

I found a new promble here,when I used fully charged 2300mah bat,it caused the Froyo(both dan and ) auto-shutdown after seeing interface,when I changed to 1230 mah one,verything seems fine,did anyone have same issue?

DesireV5 build is ok.

Just installed darkstone's froyo.

First, tks for the hard work =)

One thing that bugged the hell out of me was that hitting the windows key twice, would unlock the phone, it's solved in this version =)

I thought I didnt like sense (cuz I was always using launcherpro) , but I actually enjoyed it's dialer, any suggestions?

To the ones wanting sense widgets, launcherpro "plus" is going to get it. It's only 3usd ( right now, the only difference is the "people widget" which I dont really like/need but I think was worth donating cuz of the launcher itself)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DarkStone1337:
Sorry my friend, it's 3am and I was a bit agitated to say the least hehe

All were valid points, I just got a bit ticked off due to so many people PMing on here and on IRC telling me to add features or telling me build sucks because something doesn't work. It doesn't help motivation!

But sorry if I was too hard on you, you are perfectly right to comment on the build as you want :)

Let's forget about that post :D

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Julian713:
I think this an issue in general with all builds (again I THINK)....Its pretty much robo voice, bad quality...but if you change your rom you can get it where we can hear the other person clearly but they will hear us with background noise. Again this is what has happened with me testing different ROM and Builds. I havent gotten it to were I hear clear AND loud and the other person hears me clearly without static. The other person can hear everything we say and you will be able to have a convo, its just that there is some static/background noise.

Please if anyone has it where they can hear clear and loud plus the other person hears everything fine please let us all know thank you.

Darn...I thought my donations were done. ;)

This build is excellent.

What I like (compared to dan1 vanilla froyo)

1. 3D scrolling in app drawer...very smooth

2. Full screen apps

3. screen wakes properly (I tried the re-download and install cotulla on dan1...still get wake to blank screen)

4. Snappy GUI, VERY smooth. :)

Issues (compared to dan1) discovered so far:

1. Games like 'raging thunder 2' fail to load...this is a first for me on any build

2. Wifi download speed was slower (~7Mbps dan1, ~3Mbps on Darkstone)

Excellent start on froyo!

I may have mixed up the A/B thing. I was remembering that the reference was not a pure 8250 and that leo was the only one with it. I thought it was A, but mine says B.

Hi guys, does any of you got both Dan's and Darkstone's build loaded on your SD card without problem, base on the fact that Dan's build is stored inside the "android" folder on root?

I too thought it is possible, but Dan's build is actually creating files on the root. It is conflicting what is already exist on the root which belongs to Darkstone's build. Any thoughts?

just loaded everything on to a class 4 sd card right now. I know its been posted in here but again... HIGHLY recommended... much faster and smoother...

also i no long have the hard button lights staying on in sleep...

My set up....

Froyo (Android 2.2) by dan1j3l - Current version is V1

7/23 zimage.

Patched RootFS files

Jmz android dual boot

ROM: Energy.Leo.23673.Sense2.5.Cookie.DinikGlass.Jul.24

Radio: 2.10.50.26

freshly formated 4GB class 4 sd card

I followed everything from the first page... except step 3....

it says copy the android folder plus everything inside the folder to the sd card.

I skipped putting everything inside of the folder. i just opened the android folder to make sure everything was the.

download the 7/23 zimage. move it to the android folder on root of sd card. click yes copy and overwrite. download the patched rootfs and do the same. reboot. hit boot android if you have the dual boot....

everything is running smoothly before the new class 4 sd card. issues were... no gps the hard button lights stayed on when in sleep... led flashed slowly green charging or not. battery drainage. calls sometimes were not the best. but im in Phoenix and t mobile is crap here... never could get H to show instead of 3g... did with desire build.

after new class 4 sd card....

runs smoother and faster.. the hard button lights go off now in sleep.

calls are pretty good. others wise still same problems...

just my 2 cents

great job on all the builds... keep it up
