you have to use radioversion 2.xx.50 you cant use 2.xx.51. Thats the problem

Do you really need HSPL 2 or 3?

Because i have still the first version but android works.

The only problem is that i got sometimes the dead sleep but probaly because i don't have format my SD card yet.

Don't think that dead sleep has to do with HSPL version or i'm I wrong?

nope not related to hspl but i have found that hspl 2 or 3 runs android smoother dunno if its just me or what but it does with less issues

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mavy:
Just tried the Xtarantula version. Is this actually Froyo? It says 2.1 update 1 in the settings?

Anyway. Feels very solid and snappy (although kinda basic compared to the other roms).

Couldn't get Wifi to connect. Couldn't obtain an IP address but didn't crash.

3G data was very flaky. Worked then stopped, then worked a little more. Most of the time I couldn't load a full web page before it copped out.

This version needs to be run from the root of the SD card too. (another reason I was thinking this isn't froyo)

Hi all!

I have followed this android HD2 development close for some weeks now. And I must say that I love the progress, and it's close to a fully working system (GPS, PM and NAND are the missing parts in my opinion).

One thing I miss form my Desire though is the search button. Would it be possible to remap the dial (left most button) to search? The dial button is not very important (the Desire does not have on either).

in your windows mobile ROM, the developer must have put a program in the start up folder which enabkes the leds to be always on. end the process and delete that program.

I'm using stock windows mobile from O2 and flashed HSPL just to try android. Trying the latest v5 Desire with 2.12.50 Radio. It works brilliantly however i experience a few issues and i am wondering if anyone has found a "cure".

1 - I can hear other people ok when in a call, however they say it sounds like im besides the highway, because its a bit noisy, almost like the microphone volume is too loud.

2 - Alarm doesnt seem to work, always goes back to the same (of course this is in development so im sure someone is working on it already.

3 - its getting addictive already :) i am already considering flashing a light wm rom to see the major difference.

I am so very happy to have now an HTC Leo/Evo/Desire :)

Thanks to all the amazing dedicated people working on this.

May you get all you wish for!

Question

I'm a little confused on the "zimage" file. It says to download the latest version, but there are different ones with different names. Do i just download and install the one with the latest date regardless of what it's called? Or is there one with a specific name to always keep an eye on for updates? So far I've downloaded the file on the bottom, the only says "zimage.rar"....Please help!

In Cotulla's zImage there is a .txt file...Read it and he will tell you what has been improved. I hope that Im correct but by downloading the lastest zImage you get everything working and then in the file name he puts the major improvement...Just read the .txt file in the unzipped file...

Hey guys, need a little help. These are the steps I've taken to get my dual boot to work and no luck.

Help to make Android run on your HD2

Things you need:

- The newest Jmz Android dual-boot program (Complete)

- MicroSD Card formatted to FAT32 (Complete)

- A ported Android ROM (e.g. Froyo or Desire ROM). (Complete/using Desire, placed into root of SD card)

1. Install the latest Jmz dual-boot app (v3) into the Device memory! (Complete)

2. Download the Android build and copy it into the ROOT of your memory card! ( I placed DESIRE in the root of my SD and not the device)

3. Insert the card to your HD2! (or soft reset if it’s already in) (did soft reset)

4. Restart your device!

5. When the boot-screen appears and starts, choose the "Boot Android" option! (following all these steps, I don't get these boot options)

6. Wait for the Android build to start up (it takes 2-3 minutes or more, it depends on the ROMso be patient)

I also changed the regedit that was instructed.

My phone still boots w/ the cell series logo, I don't get the option of booting Android or Win, I have to manually boot Haret from my file explorer than it'll work

Im using radio: 2.08xxx

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks a bunch!:confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zelduy:
You forgot the most important part.. your rom and your radio..

the most compatible I've known so far is miri and NRG's Rom..

and the most compatible radio is the one with 50 in it.. like 2.xx.50.xx

and if it's still not working.. try to format or change you MicroSD..

Just curious if the PS3 controller is even able to be used with the Evo. I know they got the Wii remote working lol unfortunatnly I no longer have a we remote. Plus that thing chews threw batteries like a kid with candy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skydeaner:
I would be interested in this as well. Mario 3 at work would be luv. Or super punch out
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itmustbejj:
If anyone wants to tackle this one I have done some initial research. Now that CM6 has BlueZ implemented (bluetooth HID support) all we need is a way to handle PS3 controller's unique pairing method:

Using PS3 Controller in Bluetooth Mode With Linux

PS3 Controller Driver For WindowsMobile

Play games on Nokia N900 with PS3 Sixaxis controller

Maemo package - sixad daemon

Interesting Notes:

- "The SIXAXIS apparently does not support the standard Bluetooth pairing procedure; instead, pairing is done over USB, which is arguably simpler and more secure. This command-line utility searches USB buses for SIXAXIS controllers and tells them to connect to a new Bluetooth master."

- "Once the master address is set to your phone, pressing the PS button will cause the controller to send connection requests to your phone. Listen for devices, no authentication, with hid guid on psm 17 accept the connection request, then psm 19, accept that request, then write .... something can't remember... I have to go back to my code... to set the LEDs so they stop flashing and another code to tell the controller to start sending data. Once u r successful the controller constatntly sends packets of 50 bytes continuously describing the state of the controller, tilt, which buttons are down, up, etc so you just need to check for changes react accordingly. I'm handling verything on the L2CAP layer in WinMo. sending keydown and keyup events...."

- I think the easiest way to get this done would be to make a port of the sixad package which is a daemon that handles PS3 pairing and is triggered by udev (device manager) and make a GUI for it. This is what qtsixa is for maemo. This seems to make the most sense as maemo is another linux operating system for mobile.

Check out qtsixa's github here:http://github.com/smokku/sixaxis-support/tree/master/qtsixa

[Legend General] RomNoR:
This problem also exists on the Desire.

I have tried many different 3,5mm plugs and it's a bit random, some are detected as headsets some are not, some switch and some behave abnormal.

The million dollar question is now: Is it a hardware or software issue.

This is unacceptable, even though the solution is simple: use a short extension cable or adapter. But for some audioholics, like myself, this is just a work around and it affects sound quality.

I am thinking about contacting HTC about this.
[Legend General] Gaillimh_Abú28:
I think the headphones you are using have 3 black rings instead of 2 on the jack, as the third is used for the mic, if this is the case, it will always show up as a headset!

[Legend General] RomNoR:
I appreciate the help. I didn't mean to dissrespect you, It just seemed very clear from my post that i know the difference between headsets and headphones.

It has nothing to do with that, it's a problem with the phone.

I have tried 5 different headphones and headsets.

The phone jack or software is the problem, not the plugs.

I do have a few years of electrical engineering behind me also.... ( and experience with 30+ mobile phones and PDAs)

It mightn't be sw have tried differentiering headphones both with and without mic. With mixed results..

Just got my HTC Hero, and loving it so far.

However, with VillainROM 12 running at 691MHz, Sense UI seems to force close quite frequently.

Occasionally, the phone actually freezes and becomes totally unresponsive. When this happens, the only way out is to remove the battery.

Do you know anything that could be causing these errors?

Additionally, is there anyway to get an adjustable EQ for my music?

Thanks! ;)

Also, the phone seems to keep damaging the MicroSD card, and I therefore keep having to reformat it. It seems to happen like ever other time I plug the phone into the computer. It's really annoying. :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublue:
Gratz with your new Hero. :D

Anyways, did you Wipe everything before installing the ROM? :p

Could also try to partition the SD Card from the Recovery? :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sajseven:
I did wipe everything as per the guides. And I also partitioned the SD card from recovery, once just as a straight FAT partition, and another time with a 512MB partition for Ext2 A2SD.

Really annoying that the card now lost my data again, because I was running A2SD and now all my apps have disappeared. :mad:

As such, the "love" has turned into hatred at the moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sajseven:
Okay, so it turns out the data is still somehow on the SD card after I booted the phone into Recovery Mode and mounted it that way. So it's just the phone "ignoring" the SD card if you will. It's quite annoying, really. :mad:

Update: Looking further into it, my phone was acting as a mass storage device even in "Charge only" mode. So I looked at why on earth it would be doing this and it turned out that there was an option in the DoubleTwist player, where it automatically enabled "Drive mode" regardless of the chosen method.

Could this have been causing my phone to think the card was unformatted?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublue:
It could be. :rolleyes:

DoubleTwist player is still in BETA stage right?

Anyways, you should try the ROM whitout that player. ;)

In VillianROM 12. i had some stability problems too, but after i updated the Google Maps app from the marked. The ROM worked fine. :p
