[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jealousy:
Well. I looked around and solved the problem.

It seems that you have to put everything into the Android folder after you booted your fresh build once.

So did I now and now i can boot straight on, the boot process even seems to happen faster, but maybe thats a placebo :D

Try moving every file that you put into your sd root (your build install) e.g. system.ext, haret.exe, CLRCAD.exe , AndroidApps.... into the Android folder. Then you launch CLRCAD and haret from there :)

Im using Cotulla's latest Zimage, and still getting SOD. i've tried it with both the backlight on 100% in WiMo and autobacklit.

This is probably the only thing holding me back from using the Desire rom as my day to day. (always have access to charging so yay me lol)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ykman1:
The latest zimage gives me sod as well, I'm using a previous release, the one marked "NO SPEEDY" or somethin like that, u can try it n see if that works for u... oh and all other settings workin as well with that zimage (dans froyo builds)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] android4hd2:
Currently using the Zimage that comes with v5 desire build. Everything is working good. Guess the newest isnt the best lol. Someone should message Cotulla about it since it seems to be a wide spread issue. but so far everything is great.

Great work everyone!

For some reason, I can't get v5 desire to set the mms / APN settings on its own. Anyone have a working US list for Tmobile?

While I appreciate Android on the HD2, I still don't see the big issue with WinMo 6.5. Granted there are more apps on the other platforms, but WinMo does the job fine. Have CHT installed with a few other apps and the phone flies. No bugs, or major issues that I read others having. Makes me wonder how much 3rd party software you guys have installed...that's normally the root of the evil. lol

ROM plus Android Build Info

Can I please make a suggestion posted previously either in this thread or the dev's thread. Can we please format future comments with:

WM ROM:

Radio:

Android build:

zImage:

This way if someone is having issues with a certain ROM build and radio combo or Android build and image file, they can do a simple search rather than combing through pages and pages of posts looking for their combo.

Also 95% of the time this info is what we need to trouble shoot your problem.

Please take this into consideration.

My Report

Hi HD Geek,

Thank you for the efforts of consolidating this guide.

My report here:

WM ROM: Energy.Leo.21911.Titanium.Jul.14

Radio: Leo_15.40.50.07U_2.11.50.20

Android: darkstone_HD2Froyo_v1

WM ROM: Energy.Leo.23121.Sense2.5.Cookie.DinikGlass.Jul.21

Radio: 2.10.50.28_2

Android: darkstone_HD2Froyo_v1

Works flawlessly... I am still doubtful about the VM roms, if they really make any difference since Android will eventually be a fresh boot and is not actually running on top of WM right?

But I have noticed a great improvement of reception and browsing speed using the 2.11.50.20 radio compared to 2.10.50.28.2 in Singapore ;)

Cheers,

Faisal.

Hi cujoblue,

I have no idea... but HSDPA signal was never a problem for me... Actually I have yet to try WIFI :p

But browsing the net has not been a problem for me using the previously mentioned setup.

A question that I probably know the answer to...

Is there any way to get the Android side to synch (or use the same db) as WinMo for SMS messages? I'd even take some 3rd party synch where both Android & WinMo synch sms messages to a cloud somewhere.

Had a couple problems where an SMS with info I needed was on WinMo when I was using Android (and the other way around as well).

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] faisalee:
From my experience with Android on HD2 so far, it heavily depends on the Radio version.

One Radio, I can connect to Android App store, but cannot sync my Gmail, the other radio is able to sync and connect to App store but surfing the net via Browser is not working... But I do see H / 3G most of the time :o

Its very confusing at the moment, I am trying to find the radio that works best for all functions.

So far 2.10.50.28 has been very stable with ocasional Gmail sync issues.

tmous sense keeps crashing

as the title says, anytime i use android (doesn't matter which build) when i return to WM sens is, well, destroyed. only a hard reboot fixes the problem (no email, date can't get right, photos tab freezes phone.)

android works fine for what i wanted to use it for (some programs are just better on it than wm.)

i have read some people saying not running sense before running android helps. anybody have any luck? not afraid of another hard reset, just want to know if there is anything that might give me some luck!

i want to notify few things:

1. no need to flash custom roms without trying your stock rom first, just to boot android: my stock rom 1.48 wwe works flawlessly with radio 2.08.50 with darkstone's froyo 1.1v (clear voice/ working 3g/wifi and everything else...........no issues apart from those mentioned by darkstone)

2. you dont need to empty your card/ reformat as a must...i have all my winmo files on my card..and simply copied the android folder to sd card root and booted.....voila!

3. dual boot app helps in preventing turbo mode....so better if you use it

4. install the froyo versions, where the android "folder"is copied onto sd....helps in cleaner install than the other versions where you copy the "contents" of android folder to sd root: and thus lesser issues

5. people should read the stickies and references well and understand them before complaining that somethings dont work

6. read the stickies and references again and again: nothing wrong, will only help with something you missed the first or second time

I've downloaded Froyo build by dan1j3l V1.

I noticed that 3G+ didn't work (only 3G) while it seems to work with the darkstone with sense.

Why ?

I did not try everything but so far, i can tell ya that the device boot on htc sense desire build without any problem.

Rom version : netDrg 2.5 Leo HD2 FRE

Radio version is 2.08.50.08_2

3G network works fine so i can surf the web and access Android Market ( I've downloaded and installed apps without trouble...)

I'm using a 8gb sdcard and it goes well...

I didn't read the 36 pages, but it seems like usb mass storage is not supported yet or i didn't find how to handle it...

I don't know Androïd, at all... So i'm discovering it and there must be a lot of thing i didn't think about to check...

Music player works.

I got a Divx soft called Rockplayerbase. Video's perfect but i got sound issues

Well that's it. I'm sure there's a lot missing but i basically wanted to thank all people working so hard to get our devices further.

So...Thanks.

ps: as you may have noticied, i'm french, just in case some would have any "frenchies" questions :)

This is the biggest issue though i can use 3g, browser, market, movies and music.

I'm a noob in Android so i so i' don't know how to know which zimage version i got... Do you think that could be the source of my battery issues?

Also i noticied that even if my battery is 51% of charge under WM, when i switch on Android it appears empty, weird isn't it?
