wrong installation still works

Hi, I got android 2.2 running on my htc hd2. BUt I copied the Android folder to E:\android instead of copieng the files itself to the root directory of the sdcard. However my installation still works. But what is the difference between in these two settings?

What can go wrong if I don't have android on the top root dir of the sdcard? How do I copy my music to my android install if I cna't mount my sdcard?

thanks in advance
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
Android can see everything that is on your SD card. You just cant transfer to/from while in android.

Put whatever you want on the SD card while in WinMo or put the SD card in your PC and transfer that way. When you boot android, they will be there.

And, maybe I misunderstand you first question.

But you have SDcard/android/files

This is how it is supposed to be.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ginbuntu:
then my instllation is correct. I have one small problem with my install.

On the first boot of Android, everything worked fine. But when I shutdown my phone and turn it back on to android, I only get sound when it "speakers" are turned on. So when I make a normal call I don't hear anything. If I turn on the speaker, it works. it seems this is a new problem. Can't find anything about it in the forum. Also after restarting android, I get "sim card changed" in the notification area. When I click on it, I get an error message stating that the application "settings" has crashed.

Any help will be appreciated.

Have you got the files on the root of your sd card? if so you'll need to have a folder on root called android and all the files in that folder.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] htcfan87:
yes i have that. as of right now its running. but if i restart my phone it will say cant read the rootsf. and when i call ppl they sound like robots. i think i installed the radio wrong. what should i do?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 11calcal:
you need a newer zimage from herechoose volume sr and copy/paste over the original zimage that will sort out robovoice ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ginbuntu:
I think it should be E:\Android\, so download the Android build (I use the latest Darkstone relase) and extract the files then copy the folder Android to the root directory of the sdcard. make sure you don't have android files on the root directory. I also got that error message when I copy all android files to the root dir of the sd card instead of the folder containing the files.

hope it helps.

thanx ginbuntu and 11calcal!! i will try it and let u guys know.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] b1ackhawk:
The only link for zimage (in the 3rd post) is one that is described as "not stable" and the link doesnt work anyway. I think i may need a newer zimage for my desire build, not 100% sure but i have some slight issues that are supposed to be fixed in newer zimages. If someone knows how i can check the version of my zimage i suppose that would be helpful too. Oh yeah, and where can i find newest zimage, supposed to be in 3rd post but doesnt work.

Hey everyone. I tried to get the Froyo on my HD2 without success. I have a few questions. When I download the froyo .7z file, there are no other files with it. do I need a program to extract? I tried running the haret and it came up with "launch script file. Default path is the same where the executable lives." it shows a default.txt and when i click "run" it says "cannot open script file \storage\Android\default.txt" please help.

Stable build

First time trying Android, easy install with Darkstone's sense build using set up in my sig. I also tried his no sense version first.

I just followed the tips in this thread, did some searching when not sure and sifted thru the other 800 page tread, cutting and pasting info.

Been using WinMo for 6+ years and guess I'm used it's quirks.

Thanks to CHT and the generous screen, the HD2 is by far the best,

but slowly coming around to android's flavor. Liking it lots :p

Took me a while to find extra settings by pressing the windows key!

Bluetooth Motorola stereo headset works brilliantly,

web browsing nice and smooth, better than opera.

Ran for 6 days daily use, stable as.

Battery use was only slightly above WM useage.

There's a few things sucking bandwidth you can turn off, but it's mostly me downloading aps :)

The usual known issues (read) - I read the forums HEAPS, post few. Thanks to all the Develovers, much appreciate your work.

After a quick play and watching the incredible pace of development, I'm seriously looking forward to Cottula's release in september :eek:

HTC HD2 Android Extended Battery Bug

Hey all,

Great to have this forum for open discussion and latest news on Android Development.

I have come across one issue that no one i can see has brought up, i have purchased an extended battery (those cool ones with a kick out stand so you can watch movies) and when i was initially trying to boot up in Android via HTC Rom (Chucky Rom) the Android logo would come up and then near the entry screen and then reset it self, i tried this several times and always the same answer...

Is there something voltage related with the latest Android Froyo 2.2 release?? because i tried the original battery and then it worked!!?

Many Thanks

I have a stock T-Mobile (uk) phone, done the hspl3 thing, so what do i need to do now to finally get android to work?

would love some help to get this running on my phone so i could swap between the 2

thanks in advance for any help

Anyone figured this out yet?

I've wanted to give android a go for a while and finally got round to it today, using ChuckyROM-23128-Tabtastic.Jul.23 and Radio 2.11.50.20 with Desire v5, and it works well, freezes a bit and sometimes lags, but not bad overall!

The one thing I do crave is a way to get back to Win from Droid, couldn't find any solution yet, so has anyone found a way?

Hi all,

I got a question.. In the future, will it be possible for Android to overwrite all windows files so Windows Mobile wil ee deleted and the only OS running on my mobile is Android? One other thing, if i connect my phone to the computer using my USB cable the phone lights up but it doesnt show on the phone wich mode i want, ex. diskdrive or HTC sync. On my computer i see a drive, but i cannot acces it.

Also my battery is running out of power very hard. I need to reload my phone every day, is this normal? Further i like to say that the ppl who made it possible to run android on a WM phone kick ass!! Android 2.2 runs very smooth and i feel sorry for the ppl who bought a htc desire for andoid, the HD2 got a bigger screen and android kicks ass!

One other thing, i cant find my wifi router, the phone detects other signals but mine it doesnt reconize.

Also the hard buttons, underneath the screen dont light up.

And is it possbile to see how many percent the battery is?

Sorry for my bad english, firefox wont let me install the english library lol.

Thnx ppl for android!!

Extract the Android folder with all files in in to the root of your SD Card. Well what is the root of the SD card and how do I install there? Normally when I download a program to my HD2 it asks if I was to save it to SD card or internal memory. How is to the root of the SD card different and what are the steps to accomplishing this?

Thanks,

SD CARD\Android

in Windows

1) connect your HD2 and choose option to use as a disk drive. run windows explorer, locate your HD2 listed among the PC drives. click it then right click on it and choose option to create new folder. write Android as the name of the new folder and copy the required Android files. once files are copied right click on HD2 drive and choose option to eject. then unplug HD2 from pc

OR

choose option to use as a disk drive and copy the extracted Android folder to the SD card of the HD2

BUT, After I run CLRCAD and Haret the sound only works in like 2-3 minutes and than it disappears. When I restart the phone, i dont get sound at all. Without sound i cant make calls, therefor its a big problem

Does anyone have the same problem?

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

i ran three versions of Android but all of them presented the same problem for me: the touchscreen becomes unresponsive from time to time. Is it because of the phone or radio/win rom? Is it a known behaviour or is it just mine issue? Last android build that i use is the Shubcraft.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jigners:
your post is contradicting, difficult to understand what happened first

your first line states "android works perfect" which entails that you already run CLRCAD and Haret.

then your second line states "BUT, After I run CLRCAD and Haret . . ."

you can look at my steps here

random screen freezes is a common occurrence, i noticed this as well on various

builds, you can still use the hardware keys though.

hi there and thanks 11calcal for your help, now have android running on my phone the darkstone desire v5 i think it called. Just a couple more questions, how do i transfer contacts from the sim to actually store on the phone as i hate storing the contacts on the sim, know how to do it when i create a new contact, but can't see anyway like the sim manager in windows to copy all across. Also where does android store apps etc, is it on storage card or on the phone memory and is there any way to get it to store downloads and apps to the storage card rather than phone memory? i know this may cause a slow down or problem as android running off card, but just thought i would ask?
