[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Embalmer:
must say, havent played with android since the early releases. since the reports were it was stable and nearly if not everything working, figure id try it. must say love the fact ive used schubcraft 1.4d for 2 and a half days continous, and absolutely love it. calls are clear on both ends, use the 2g network option, as seems more stable than the 3g, even bought the weather toggle widget to have the original HD2 style flip clock with working weather, so now android is all my phone is running now.

Only issue is the touch screen goes unresponsive after a while of use, which I remedy by locking and unlocking the screen.

great job guys

low sound, what zimage??

Guys a simple question! (i've searched a lot but didnt find an answer!)

I am using FROYOSTONE V1 daily for over a week now. Tried other builds too, but this is perfect.

Only two issues here! Kinda low volume (system and in call-specially the second!-) and battery life.. Battery life problem dissapeared now, my only trick was using non-live wallpaper, using task manager for killing apps, and funally the best of them..an overclock app! (which i used for under clock) Found in the market.I set the cpu to 485 max and auto 284 when screen off!Sometime it auto adjust it in the middle, 380something speed!! No lags at or glitches at all!!!

AND NOW I GET EXACTLY THE SAME BATTERY LIFE AS WITH WINMO!! A full day, with heavy usage..Plus 10-15 min to the charger give it an extra 20-30% charge capable of holding 2 hours more..

Only the sound problem to be corrected and i have a perfect build of android with everything i need to work beeing far better than ok!

Cotulla released a zimage that suposed to correct the low sound issue..I tried to use it, but adroid would not boot..

Do you know WHICH EXACTLY ZIMAGE will work with froystone's V1 and correct the low sound issue??

Thank you in advance!!:D

MattcFroyo v1.6b VERY STABLE!

Hi!

I downloaded the Froyo2.2 with Sense (1.6b) from MattC yesterday. It runs very stable and smooth. Perhaps the most stable release I've tried so far. Only for info on how fast it is: I ran Mandelbrot flight mode which finished in 24,5 sec!! that's faster than HTC Desire with REAL Android. Still, I have not overclocked the cpu :-)

Anyway, the release that is available for download uses PPP data. On my handset this was not working at all since I got no 3G/internet connection. Then I got this link: http://www.multiupload.com/MOZ9UZKFJF

which is the RMNET version. This works absolutely perfect!

But I don't know what the difference is... anyone care to tell me?

I can really recommend this ROM since it is the best working (for me) up til now.

Even battery life performance is near authentic.

Cheers!

Download the Android SDK and make it install all available packages out there. Once that's done install Droid Explorer. It should recognize the phone (has to be in USB debugging mode) and from there you can drop your files into the /system folder.

is it possible to connect USB devices on HD2 Android?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcordes:
Yes. Follow these instructions to install the GNU/Linux kernel and modules: (1b) It will give you the necessary drivers.

http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leo/UpdateKernel

Be aware you need to supply power externally. See following page to learn more:

usb host problems

I've made my own usb host cable (using the scheme from cotulla). I started with ubuntu V0.2 and a new zImage.

Attaching an usb device didn't work. It has power, but ubuntu just didn't see my device(s).

I tried to install latest modules. It gave me lots of permission problems. I tried this using the wiki. I did a su first. It just didn't give me the right permissions. Am I doing something wrong?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tknudsen:
Different issues

Dear all, these things bother me a lot.

first, some background info:

I have HTC HD2 flashed with RADIO 2.12.50.2_2

I am running version 1.66 (forget what it is)

and CustomRUU

Anyway..

I am using right now the FroyoStone Series - Version 1 (07-Aug-2010) Clean version

Here is the issue explained:

Works

1. Everything works fine just after install of new build

2. I can install all applications from Market

3. I have excellent voice, wireless, bluetooth etc.

Works not

Here is my primary issue

1. If I turn the phone off and restart Winmo and then CLRCAD and Haret the linux page runs to a point where then the linux page just stands forever and list different lines of text without anything happening, nothing starts after this point.

Last thing it says, I need to unzipp a rootfs file to /bin/ something

2. If I do not shutdown or restart my Android after install, it last about 2-3 days, even with re-charge. But at some point it either restarts it self or the screen goes white. With the last issue I can still see icons and etc. But it is just all colored white.

Sulution each time

1. Battery off (if the phone is on)

2. Re-format memory card

3. copy back the FroyoStone Series - Version 1 (07-Aug-2010) pack to memerycard

4. run the installation again with all the setup situations

5. install all needed applications that i want

A good and long process that bugs the hell out of me.

I know all is not yet completet in porting HTC HD2 to Android and it is a Windows Mobile phone, but hopefully there is a solution out there so that I can use my phone far more than now.

My suggestion is that I use something for LEO Desire build (that i used initial) and I need to either flash with a new rom or the last thingy version 1.66 (customRUU ??? )

Nevertheless, I will do follow up any suggestion

Please help

You just need to edit your startup.txt file to point to where your installation is, which I assume is in the "Android" folder on your sd card. Add the following line to your startup.txt file -->set cmdline "rel_path=Android" Let me know if this helped.

PS. Should look something like this if you're using latest kernel

set mtype 2524

set ramaddr 0x11800000

set ramsize 0x1e400000

set initrd_offset 0x00a00000

I suggest using the stock ubuntu V0.2 to test this. USB host is 100% known working on it. Tested on many systems. That way you can figure if your hardware is OK (most likely the issue)

See more information on usb host hardware here

http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Msm_Usb_Host

let me know if you get it working.

There is nothing exciting. All I did is adding a different keymap for GNU/Linux (with direction).

Only the usbhost-zImage changed.

edit:

Be aware the autobuild will produce kernel and modules even on the smallest change. I will announce any relevant updates worth to install
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bartju94:
I've fixed the problem by using your scheme (adding the 3 way point for 5V+ & -). I followed the scheme from cotulla (only D+ and D- to usb with external power ofc ;) ) first (for WM usb host), but that didn't work. I've added this to the wiki.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Agoattamer:
You do not need to edit your startup text if you have not installed an updated kernal (zImage). Your issues with the rootfs not being extracted error is because you have all the files placed on the root of the storage card. Those files all need to be in the Android folder. The readme file included with the build download tells you this.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gjizaqin:
I experienced the same issue like you did twice. I think the problem is when you shutdown android you have to give it some seconds after the screen goes off for system to turn off completely. after some seconds about 10 you can press power key to boot into Winmo.

After waiting a while I'm not experiencing this issue anymore on the same build.

Hope im right and this helps you.

Best regards. Gjizaqin
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Agoattamer:
NO. You download the firmware. Extract the firmware with winrar or you zip program. There will be an Android folder with all the files in it. Copy the android folder to the root of your card. Do not copy just the files to the root of your card.

I did reverse engineer those quite a bit but the stuff is really hard to understand, due to virtual addresses and loads of really hairy code. Anyway, the protocol is there, and pretty easy to find by following debug output string tables in IDA :-), but someone should point out where are the drivers for I2C: and GPIO: file handlers (yes, the stuff seems to use those in addition to some obscure IO ports). I could not find those anywhere and they're crucial to find in order to fully decode the protocol.

I'll check in the weekend if I still have my IDA files around and upload those somewhere if found.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mikolas:
Yeah, and I forgot, they also use window messages to communicate, but I still couldn't find the DLL that registers itself for the events. Touch DLLs do, but there has to be something else also consuming the messages - it's kinda pointless otherwise to send messages. The DLL that consumes messages from touch DLLs is also something I could not find.
