Android Data structure

I tried a lot of android ROMs; they are very close each other.

Anyway , to run programs where there are some bugs (eg letter before phone number on EVO ROMs) there is very often advice saying "copy com.android.phone_preferences.xml , in /data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs folder

but Looking Data structure on SD card or Android folder , I have a Data folder but no other thing in it.

I tried to create these structures but it has no effect.

Any advice on that or a thread explaining that

Thank you

Don't work for me!!

Hey,

I need some help, I already tried many android releases for HD2 and any worked for me. :(

My HTC HD2 is TMous, now are running 2.08.HSPL, stock radio 2.10.50.26 and cooked ROM Miri Elegantia V5.

I already tried in three types of SD card, 4, 8 and 16 Gb and aways the same problem, stuck during first screen, when appears the Linux logo.

Any suggestions?

Nice looking Bootloader? :)

Hi!

Have just started to use the Android on my HD2 and looking for a nice looking boot-utility... is there only one for us HD2 owners out there?

have tried Jmz Android Dual-Boot but it's very spartan i think... :) no offence author!! It does the job but i'm a fan of bling bling... hope someone knows what i'm talking about. :)

It will allow you to put an icon on your homescreen to boot into android.

There are multiple options; boot android directly, soft reset - boot android, and a prompt to boot android immediately upon booting windows.

Thanks for the tip, i'm realy looking for a promt to boot that's nice looking with a Android picture and a WInMo picture :) I think i saw something at the XDA news for a couple of months ago, but back then i did not think i'll ever need it because i did not think it was that easy to setup :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sbarta:
OK so I tried something that seems to have worked. Although I am not sure why. I hope it helps anyone else out there with same problem. Going to settings, Wireless & networks, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names, there I found listed T-Mobile USA with epc.timobile.com written below. I tapped on this and changed the name to epc.tmobile.com and then saved this. This did not solve the problem so I went back and tapped restore to default which then brought the previous page back to the name T-Mobile USA. This then restored my data service and I have been able to connect to the internet using the data plan in addition to wireless. I hope this helps someone else that encounters the same problem.

But it does not do what you want, The other one noted was the JMZ dual boot, I do not think it does what you ask either.

The mSkip one will prompt you to choose between Android and WinMo, but it is not a very pretty screen... I actually disabled that part and just use the icon on my home screen.

You said "no matter how noobish" so here I go:

What is a kernel and how/where do you put it?

Why is there so much difficulty getting a build to run? If it's not dropping data it's running the battery down or not sending mms or having poor picture quality.

What is the difference between builds? Froyo vs some other thing? Look? Functionality?

Do I have to manually set up for TMOBUS Data link every time? In WM thats automatic.

*sigh*... I feel better now. Sorry but these are things I've been running into and so have some others. I like Android but am quickly becoming disillistioned because of all the work and maintenance involved.

Anyway:

http://208.100.42.21/showthread.php?t=790374

This is where the instructions are posted, there is a script that will do this for you.

Not to offend you, but let me explain more.

If you are browsing your SD by plugging the phone into your computer, you will not see these files. Even if your are booted into android.

You must use root explorer (etc) while in android on your phone. This way, you can access the android file structure that is held within the data.img

It is a hidden directory and is not present in sdcard. Is in root / directory and exactly in /data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thehumble1:
it's actually not that naive of a question, there isn't a lot of talk on XDA about what is what. you might want to read some Wikis about it.

The kernel is the software that controls the hardware in the phone and basically runs everything. It's what's running behind the pretty screen running the screen and everything else. Developers that work on the kernel are trying to get their versions of the Android kernel to run better with the HD2 hardware which isn't built for an Android operating system. But a lot of the components are similar to other HTC phones, so the Devs take from other phone versions of Android (Desire, EVO, Nexus One, etc.) as a starting point.

the reason that things don't work perfectly is because this is really difficult work with no roadmap of how to do it since the phone developer isn't helping along.

Froyo is just a version of Android. The most recent version. Android and Linux use sequential letter version names (Donut, Eclair, Froyo, etc.). Linux uses cute animals as their sequence and Android uses desserts (FROzen YOgurt).

If you have a standard T-Mo data plan you shouldn't have to manually set it on most builds, which automatically set epc.tmobile.com. If you have a non-conventional data plan you may have to make adjustments, yes.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rogerperk:
Thank you! A reasonable and compasionate response for which I am grateful. I"m trying to learn as I move along but there's alot to take in and Im so old...

So if I want to use a different kernel, say one everyone is talking about, do I just put it on the phone and tap in? Or is it mounted some other way?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
If you want to use a different kernal, it is pretty easy.

download the new kernal you wish to use.

Copy it to your phone where your current kernal is located.

(you can delete the current kernal first, or overwrite it with the new one).

Reboot, viola.

Now, most kernals will come with modules that have to added/replaced.

This is as easy as creating a specified files structure (the kernal will have a readme.txt to let you know) in SDcard/android/root/'specified files structure'. and placing the new modules within the folder you have created. when you boot android these files will automatically be placed in their proper locations.

That is it. Changing back is just as easy.

So, really you just overwrite the old kernal (and modules) with a new one. No mounted or anything else needed.

black htc screen after using harat.exe

Hi

so i tried installing android on my phone, though i didnt succeed.

i followed the steps, but i seems im still doing something wrong:

Currently my phone runs Windows mobile 6.5: ROM ELEGANCIA MAXSENSE

So i already have the right radio and HSPL for android.

Then, i saw Mdeejay evo sense 1.8 and decided to install this one.

I placed in on my 2gb micro sd card. first I tapped CLRCAD, then i tapped harat.exe

it shows a black screen with in the top left corner some tiny letters.

But right after that the screen turns black and only shows the HTC logo.

What am I doing wrong?

i have been trying this for 8 hours now :'(

tnx

just tap it. You wont see it but its working.

perhaps you can answer my question? :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] boomboomer:
Have you been waiting for 8hrs with the HTC logo showing? Or did you keep rebooting for 8hrs? The first time boot may take 30-40 minutes as it can be building a 1Gb image file on your SD card, leave for at least this long before giving up.

Also, formatting your SD card in your PC to FAT32 and then just add the build files gives you a better chance of success - it's usually quicker to as the image file is then not fragmented.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tahierro:
tnx for your answer.

the 8 hours i spent was because i was trying it all over again.

also i already formatted my sd card fat32.

So what you are saying is that i should leave my phone with the HTC logo, for a 30-40 minutes?

I thought that the htc logo wasn't supposed to show up because of many videos i saw on youtube. for example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u6qNzsgbxY

0-3 seconds: my phone shows the same loading bar, but after that it doesnt show the large text thing, instead it goes directly to the black HTC screen.

So actually, i should try to leave it with the HTC logo on? tnx

the screen will look exactly like this:

http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/318/splashw.png

EDIT: I tried to just leave it with the HTC screen for 40 minutes, however, it isn't working. Any other options?

Here's the story (skip to the 2nd paragraph if you don't care), my father wanted to put Android on his HD2 so I going to put HTC Sense v5 on his HD2. I downloaded the file and while I was in my room reading this thread and researching, he ran the HaRet.exe file without backing up and loading an appropriate windows rom.

So now I don't know what windows rom was running before, but HaRet.exe is running and unpacking files on the HD2. In the event that something goes wrong, how can I restore the HD2 (to factory setting) without a back up?

edit: problem solved.

CLRAD.EXE not a windows32bit application

I do not what your question is..., but I have another. What size should the clrad.exe be? It says 4k both on my PC and my device? When I tap ckrad.exe all I get is as before "This is not a Windows32bit application" and when I tap

file I get VERY small print in top-left of screen for about 5 -1omins then devices reboots and goes back to Windows.

I'm sure that's not right.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
You will get that error if you run that file on your PC as it is meant for use on the phone. You should not be plugged into the computer when trying to run android anyway.

You run it on your phone an nothing happens (which is the correct scenario). Android should boot up eventually (maybe as long as 40 minute boot time)

If it is not booting, then something else is wrong. What radio version do you have? If it is below 2.08, android will not work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] boomboomer:
Yes, leave it with the HTC logo for as long as it takes. 40 minutes should be long enough though, if it hasn't worked by then I'd suggest something is wrong.

Try another build, try one with an image file included as this will speed up first boot, have you got a compatible radio version installed?

Long time lurker etc...

I've got a HD2 unlocked for use on AT&T. It's got a fresh install of WM and Android 2.2 that I must boot into from WM. Everything works fine in WM.

1) In Android, the sensors don't work properly. In teeter the ball sticks in one corner and then wildly jerks to another. Can this be fixed?

2) Once every hour or so the phone will freeze for about 15 seconds and I cannot use the touch screen. Buttons still work...but are slow. What's that about?

Can I, at this time reflash the phone to ONLY have Android 2.2 and not have to boot in WM first?

Booting Android First ---> BigTinZ

Currently BigTinz there not a method of booting android first (from NAND). Senior members of XDA are working on it, be patient. However... you can put the dual boot .cab from XDA member "jmztaylor" into your WM ROM and then reboot and when your HD2 it will show up and give you the option of running android or WM. This saves some time booting sense and anything else you have in the start directory. :)
