[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cookiesowns:
Well, I'm actually not quite happy because I got several BSOD's, but hey!! I still got into the android setup menu. :) Now, I'm flashing HARDSPL3 onto my phone, and retrying android again. But I'm just confused on why my WINMO passwords got deleted, and now it doesn't save my passwords like facebook or AIM. Nothing that a hardreset won't fix, When i got this phone i knew this was bound to happen.

Once again, Can't wait for a working Android build with phone and GPS :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheRockXXL:
why does every one think, rip off the battery is the best way to reboot ?

some guys reported they cant charge theyr phones after several times.....

ladies never heard about a reset button in your hd2 ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
I've always wondered that, too. Everyone says to take the battery out, but the reset button is right there. I actually drilled a hole in my back cover so that I never need to take it off and can just poke the reset button. I'm thinking of drilling a hole in my leather case, too, so I don't even have to bother sliding it out of the case... especially if I'm gonna be playing with android and having to reboot it all the time.

What version of Ubuntu is this? 8.04? 10.04? Does wifi work?

[Edit] Ubuntu is 9.10, Karmic Koala.

This has the potential to be a great little computer (with keyboard and mouse)!

Now to get the new touch-friendly KDE 4.5 ready for whenever a touchscreen driver will be released.

got the same probleme and i don't know how to solve it :/
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RaiderX303:
running rather well for a first working version, just had it running gallery 3D, im using the OI File Manager to install apps from SD card and there running fine, only issue is slow graphics performance and the blue screen that stops it being usable to basic tasks, wifi would make it a great net OS, and radio for great all round.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] curiousGeorge:
Yeah, for real. I wonder if anyone has attempted a setup like the one in the pic (with the soldered, battery powered setup)?

can I use this adabter to connect Keyboard/Mouse to my HD2??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] arkayi:
I had the same issue after I ran Haret. It somehow changed/corrupted the password I was using for the keylock; forced me into a hard reset.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DavidMc0:
The reset button has been craply designed so you need something pointy to press it. As there is no stylus included it's easier to just pull the battery out - I've been doing this for months whenever WM crashed and it's been fine.

But yeah, if you're experimenting with early Android builds having to do this 50 times a day, it's worth looking around for a pointy object to do the resetting to avoid damaging the battery contacts :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bladiest:
OK.. so i managed to get Android up n running albeit for only a lil while until BSOD...

Flashed with HSPL3 and radio 2.10... before this i was getting the fade-out during the boot-up and the vertical lines..crash out..

To Flash HSPL or any other Flashable s/w... u have to have Microsoft Activesync initiated.. Flashing softwares will flash through ActiveSync, so u must have this loaded on and running prior to flashing!

If u do manage to get thru the full boot-up stage... keep the phone still on the flat surface.. Remember the BSOD only appears when the software encounters an error or routine it cant deal with.. i/e the in-built positioning/tilt device and any other routines that are not catered for...

This way u will get a few mins of play from the software.. and thats all u want right now.. shows how much commitment is given to this project by the developers working on the project..and insight of what is to come.... believe me its hard work ( as a systems developer myself)..

Also try to boot-up phone without your sim in it... as its one less headache the software has to deal with..

Irrelevant is the size of the microSD as 2GB is sufficient as long their a lil room left on the card for file creation..1 GB is plenty enuff... it is always best to have a fresh format though so FAT layout is clean and quickly accessed (defragmented).

YOU will not lose Windows software or any other files stored on the phone!.. just to clear up for people who are worried, Haret will only create necessary files on the SD card and use it as the main memory source.. Once you get the BSOD.. theres really nothing u can do as the software will hang.. SO.. just flip off the back cover and nip out the battery and reboot.. and winmo will boot as normal!

Good luck and enjoy the few minutes u get from Android on your HD2...god knows i did ;)

ubuntu 0.1

Yep it's karmic koala. Added it in the build info.

Be aware that although it has initial touchscreen support, it is not intended for touch use cause the present TS support is very wonky. I am working on improving it ..

If you run into trouble, make sure the folder location is

\Storage Card\ubuntu

If the files are directly copied to the root of the sd card or anywhere else it won't work. They must remain inside the ubuntu folder which must be inside the root of the sd card.

Let me know if you get it working. If you are using usb setup show us some pics!

edit: It would be very nice if somebody could mirror the zip. I don't want to force linuxtogo.org down with my traffic ! PM link if you can help.

yep looks good. same as OTG cable just in adapter style. added pic to the usb host wiki page

I was having no problems running but then I started getting the following on all my sdcards:

and then the following just loops:

and a bunch of other stuff I'd get tired to type.

I'm pretty sure that the can't mount sd is the culprit.

I'm using the download on 2nd post as is. I used it before and it worked, then it just stopped.

I'm using Energy Sense rom date 06/26/10, radio 2.12.50.02_2, HSPL2 (both HSPL 2 and 3 are exactly the same bootloader (2.08...) anyway).

Any hints?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] b1ackplague:
Try this...

I'm using Kumars ROM 2.13 with 2.10.50.8_2 radio and HSPL3 and i was having a similar problem; the solution for me was to extract all the files to the root of my SD card rather than in a folder on the sd card (i had all the files on the sd card in a folder titled "android").
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jubeh:
my files are all at the root, so that's not it. there's the chance that the files are corrupt, but on more than 1 sd and after re downloading? dont think so.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pappasmurfsharem:
any reason i get no response from touchscreen in ubuntu? everything appears to load normally, volume rockers work laggy, but work.

also probably answered, but im on gprs sometimes edge, how do get it into landscape
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] curiousGeorge:
Thanks! Anyway, I gave it a shot. I don't have the necessary USB dongles (don't want to buy anything--I got the HD2 free, too), so I can't use the mouse/keyboard. BUT I figured out how to click with the touchscreen. Basically, position one finger above and the other below the spot the pointer appears to be when swiped normally. Then click with both fingers. You're right about wonky, though! The same happened when I tried to put linux on the Vaio UX. The solution there was some EV-dev and hal tweaking to set up the proper calibration coordinates--I think it was also possible via xorg.conf directly. Since you use haret for the initialization, I doubt I browsed through the files (mplayer is NOT the default player for MP4's, silly dcordes :D It "failed to open a 1x1 buffer"), etc but the system was VERY slow. I'd use the CPU widget, but GNOME informed me that it "failed to load." I'm blaming my ridiculously slow stock class 2 MicroSD.

Openoffice...I clicked it 10 minutes ago, and the loading bar has made it about 1/3 way to the end. The screen blanked out a couple times (screensaver?) which was resolved my moving the mouse (with my finger).

Attached is a screenshot of some GNOME/metacity error triangle (it appears to indicate system instability, but being a KDE 4.5 man, I don't keep up with the latest GNOME nonsense).

Screenies: http://yfrog.com/msimg00092djx

Also, did you give this thing a swap partition? I don't think so, seeing how the filesystem is pure virtual ext2. Another question: does it actually try to write back to the 2GB partition? If so, that explains a lot of the sluggishness. Mounting ro with ramdisk is MUCH faster (a la liveCD), especially with squashFS for those with slow memory cards (decompression via zlib ARM is ridiculously fast on snapdragon, so the overhead is negligible). But then we might face RAM limitation, though stock karmic x86 works fine in 256 (as does 8.04 on the TP2/X1).

PS: Openoffice is still loading. XD The bar seems to have reached the end, but that's it. The mouse pointer is moving very sluggishly, too.

after i finished setting for the andriod,my hd2 got blue screen,anybody getting the same issue as me?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hendr1k:
^ you need to disable some setting,

disable sound, disable animation, disable bluetooth, disable wifi, change sleep screen timer into 30 minutes.

because sound can cause bsod , no sound driver atm.

3D animation can cause Bsod, there is problem with the driver. ( cotulla try to fix it)

how 2 unlock, lock screen, just press home button.

ps at tje 1rst time, i u didn't have touch screen image from cotulla it will BSOD within couple second

I added the GSM test version to the server:

NOTE: This version is VERY unstable!!! So if you don’t want any more blue screens then there is already, don’t use this version.

thanks alot,can you tell me how to disable the settings that you said?on the WM side or the andriod side?if on the andriod side,how to disable them?i can't even get into the home screen(it crashed after i touch the unlock button),please tell me,thanks~~~~

Can anybody give me a good update on how far we got so far? I no we was at the blue screen after like 5 minutes of use last time did we fix and bugs proublems? Im a donate when said and done thats why
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] curiousGeorge:
Update 2: Apparently, the first boot was simply too slow because of all the writing the filesystem did to the unionfs (again, assuming it's not just an expanded system in virtual ext2).

After a soft reset, the system picked up where I left off, the cpu indicator appeared, and I was able to load OpenOffice (took 3-4 minutes, but loaded completely) and then GIMP (took much less time to load). The portrait oreintation is not too helpful with GIMP, for sure. :p

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcordes:
curiousGeorge,

thanks for the detailed reply!

If you have a usb hub handy, you only need to get the micro-b usb cable/adapter (or geneder bender with shipped usb cable) and Y cable to power. You can get this for few bucks on ebay.. Of course I do see that not everybody feels the need to use their hd2 as a laptop :D I am just trying to show the potential of the device..

I am also hoping TS can be fixed by configuration. I asked tslib guys about it. In case you feel like trying anything let others know if you get anywhere. Just cleaned up http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leo_Ts page and added stuff on the matter.

Regarding the slowness, I think you need to blame your class 2 card and the fact you can't set the high clock using CPU widget. I have the same ubuntu folder on a Kingston class 4 card and it is really working ok here. When I use it for a while I forget I am on my mobile phone. Of course this assumes the keyboard, mouse and usb network device :)

oowriter also works for me just like anything else you can start from the panels.

I suspect you get the errors ans warnings due to timeouts caused by the super slow rootfs access so that e.g. panel thinks a widget went MIA although it's just not ready.

You should really retry with a better card. Regarding the video just rename the file extension e.g. to .avi.. seems like I forgot to add mp4 in the 'open with mplayer list'

Oh and yes the rootfilesystem is a 2GB blob with ext2 written to it and it is mounted rw. I thought about swap but had bad feeling regarding Storage Card wear level ...

hey has anyone tryed the GSM android yet and are you able to text or anything im trying to load it up now it just went into the haret but not into linux
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dangerously:
The Android that is being used will work just like on any other device. So why ask "will this install, or will that install?". The only issue that we might see is sound issues with programs/games. At the moment we do not have sound and that may lead to various apps crashing when initializing the audio.

A quick question on the Touchscreen: How can you tell what version of screen you have? Is it if you have the "TOUCH 2A" the touch function works and if you have one of the others, it will not work?

Soon as I figure out how the heck to boot android (this is very different from using the AOSP ramdisk) and what haret and the available kernel expect for boot, I'll see if I can make a leo vendor so that other people can build/modify this off of AOSP, that means froyo!.

I'm not promising anything. I don't even have an idea why it's not booting on my device anymore. So, yeah.... wish there were better documentation...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jubeh:
That's fixed with the right device property at build.prop
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hendr1k:
its on android side, when the 1rst time booted android you'll get lock screen -> just press home button then it'll go to home, pass the lockscreen, press home - setting - and just tick the the sound off, animation off, make sure all the thing off 1rst such as wifi, bluetooth. because our leo still missing a lot of driver, so when you lunch application that corresponded to specific driver mostly it will BSOD/frozen.

there is unknow problem such as when you booted android the time going to fast, just reboot it again caused it will make BSOD/frozen.

meanwhile just wait for another build, I think cotulla still working to resolve bsod problem, and power management.

Figured out the problem. The card were formatted weirdly for some reason and the filesystem was in mmcblk0p5!

I just had to remove all partitions, move the fs back to p1 and that did the trick.

I'm trying to boot the sense build again but now it's failing sqfs checks, so I'll try to change it to either a yaffs or just a regular ext2 system and try to boot that.
