FroyoStone V1 (Sense)... does it really need a new zImage?

Interestingly enough... I just deleted all android files and reinstalled a clean version of FroyoStone V1 (Sense), including the zImage that came with it, and the WiFi works just fine.

I'm not exactly sure why anyone would have to replace the kernel with one that requires a patch if the one that is distributed with the build already works fine.

I personally intend to wait until the dev's come up with a zImage that includes the patch before changing my zImage.

Full RAM questions...

Could somebody please clarify what is meant by "Full RAM"?

Unfortunately that is not the only question I have :)

I did search, but I could not find any definitive answer to all my questions. It would be nice to have it all explained in one place. And since it relates to HD2 Android port, it would be nice to have it explained here.

Current setting of 0x1E400000 sets the memory to 484MB, is it the highest ever possible value? Is 0x11800000 the lowest possible value for ramaddr?

Where does the rest 92MB go? Is it all claimed by Radio and Graphics and maybe SPL, HaRET?

Btw, how do these layers work, and what controls what, i.e. first comes SPL, then Radio(?), Graphics(?), then Windows kernel with HaRET replacing it with Linux kernel(?) etc...?

Are there any Windows kernel leftovers in the memory after HaRET boots?

Does the loaded by HaRET Linux kernel claim a part of 484MB or does it use some of the lower 92MB instead?

What is the actual/current and ideal/future memory allocation on HD2 Android port?

Thank you!

Hi - I was getting exactly the same message using FroyoStone v1 with Sense. I did some searching on the mount command and found that the following worked for me (from Terminal):

su

mount -o remount,rw -t ext2 /dev/block/loop1 /system

cd /system/lib/modules

cp /sdcard/bcm4329.ko .

If you type mount, it will list all your mounted devices - check the device that is mounted to the /system folder matches the one in the mount command above - just to be safe...

I'm also getting SOD issues with mine.

Froyostone clean version, 2.10 radio, stock O2 UK ROM.

I find that holding down the standby button or home button for a bit tends to make it wake up again - so no need to reset / remove battery.

I'll see if turning of auto screen rotation makes a difference.

I'm also getting a random reboot every so often, i.e. I put my phone in my pocket when it's running Android, then I get it out later and it's in Winmo! Anyone else getting this problem?

Hey guys no luck searching, my winmo sense has crapped it :(

Running Elegancia GTX Final - Radio 2.10 using Froyostone Sense which Ive used before, just quuckly booted into Android to show a friend. Boot back into Winmo and Sense wont load...

I remember reading somewhere a possible fix is to disable Sense, reboot and remove Cookies and restart Sense, trouble is Cookies is cooked into the ROM so I can't remove it...

Any ideas? I really don't want to Hard Reset.

WinMo Sense problem on re-boot

WinMo Sense problem on re-boot seems to be a random problem with several builds. I experience it every once in a while. I restore my WinMo from Sprite BU using the "del all files" and do a full restore, no merge. Only way I have found to solve it. If you just want to go to Android just hit the Start, and start your launcher or go to file manager and run Android files. Android runs fine over a stuck WinMo sense.

Searched for this issue but can't find it, anyone else having this problem:

running FroyoStone Series - Version 1 (07-Aug-2010)-Clean, downloaded from gamesquare, not made any changes to it. Runs fine, stock WM ROM, Radio 2.12.

I have two issues that i see no reference to on here/document:

1) on start up get the "sim card changed prompt", when clicking it get an error - force close.

2) Looking to add Facebook sync into contacts, in settings click Add account - Facebook - but phone doesn't do anything (it's NOT frozen, just doesn't go on to an add creditials screen)??

I was previously running Dan's Nexus build with no problems whatsoever.

Anyone had anything similar?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cjallison:
Hi - Each line is a seperate command, you need to hit enter after each line, for example:

cp /sdcard/bcm4329.ko . <enter>

So my last question wasn´t really well elaborated. Let me try again: :)

How can I connect my HD2 android Froyostone_sense to my computer and get it recognized as HTC Desire so I can use HTC Sync or use it as a flashdrive?

Hi all, I've tried froyostone and liked it but wanted to have a truly clean version of Froyo. So i wanted to try some of Cotulla's builds but he only has the zimages. I tried replacing the froyostone zimage with Cotulla's but it wont boot. It starts and locks up right away.

So my question is what build do I use for Cotulla's zimage?

I tried searching but nothing helpful came up.

Thanks

My favorite (and I think is the best so far) is Darkstone FroyoHD V1. I prefer the 8/3 zImage as it has the least problems (for me). You will have to apply a gps fix also, but it is easy.

If you want a clean version of Froyo, you can try DarkStone's v1 build located here:

This is a pretty solid build. I've been running it for a couple weeks now.

Or, you can wait a lil longer b/c he's working on v2 of that same build. It's in beta testing right now and will hopefully be out very soon :)

I believe that Cotulla is only working on the Kernel, and hasn't made a build...public anyway.

But, on Froyostone, does anybody else have a problem with restarting it?

End-Call, USB Storage, Wifi Hotspot Issues

I am running Darkstones's Froyo 2.2 and I was wondering if there is a way to end calls with the "Power" Button on the phone rather than using the "End Call" feature.

1. I went into Settings> Accessibility to check for the feature as reported on

http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/5909/nexus-one-use-the-power-button-to-end-calls but on my phone it was all blank. Any ideas why ?

2. Also, while in android( same build), how come I cannot access my SD card on my PC via USB ? I don't seem to find the option to "Mount SDCard". I always have to reboot the phone to WM to view/transfer files and then boot back to ANDROID. ANY solutions?

3. How can I make use of the "Wi-FI Hotspot" app. When I launch the app. I accept defaults and Try to check the box that turns on the Portable Wi-FI Hotspot, starts processing , after which the device soft-resets to ANDROID(Not WM as I would think if its really restarting). This happens every time and I can't get the app to work.
