Apps folder in sdcard

Hello,

Thanks to everybody working on this developement.

I'm nob and i've two stupid question:

I'e dowloaded a lot of apps on android market and in wimob i don't find the folder with this apps ? What is the name of the apps folder ?

And second question:is it possible to download an apps on internet and to put it in the apps folder, but how to install it ?

Hd2 is the most amazing phone!

Its in the US marketplace so you have to run MarketEnabler and set to T-Mobile before going into Marketplace and searching it...another bug is when you try to buy it that Google gives you a network error when trying to add a new credit card on the phone but when I added the card on checkout.google.com I was then able to make marketplace purchases.

~ n00b'ish query about droid rom ~ (be kind)

Prelude:

Hardware : HTC HD2

HSPL 3

RADIO ..12.. (the latest one i could find on here)

latest 2.2 froyo on 4GB card

CE rom : artemis (latest one i could find)

Loader - auto boots into droid after ce startup (one of the reg mods on here)

Ok ,, so I absolutely lurve this device (now).

The question is : (remember I mentioned "n00b-ish" ;-))

<1> is it possible to replace Primary Prog Loader / SPL - with say something like (well in PC terms what Coreboot+linux do) - quick init -> load image?

<2> get rid of the unnecessary startup utils / CE rom altogether

<3> Boot straight into droid / lin / custom loader from the very first init stages. ? no ce / no extra spl - nothin but lin/droid

I just really wanna see my fone start in under 3 seconds into droid ( i know 1 sec boot was achieved by sum linux gurus on an embedded system.)

Theoretically, it should be possible. Just wonderin if any gurus on here considered building a real "ROM" flash image, that overwrites all the other stuff and goes in clean. ?

please let me know .. thx

NICE WORK WITH THE ZIMAGE!!!

-*NOT FIXED* Charging works only when booting with usb plugged in

-*FIXED* LED blinks now instead of staying solid (I would prefer it to be off)

-G-Sensor seems to respond like normal when playing Abduction.

-First boot ended up in hyper-mode so there are still some bugs.

I'll see how the battery life improves by tonight. Previously it used 80% in 7hrs with the LED on (no phone usage).

All we need now is a new camera app that doesn't require the optical ball!

(Using Desire v5 on Stock HD2 2.10.531.1)

I LOVE THE HSDPA SUPPORT IN ANDROID!! IT'S ALMOST 4 TIMES FASTER THAN 3G!! I CLOCKED IT AT 3.76Mbps INSANE!! 4G is supposed to run at 6Mbps BTW.

My first Android post.

First of all Thanks to all the developers, think everybody should donate, they

really deserve it.

Thank you HD Geek for this new Android user thread.

I am Running Desire V5 with latest zimage, Energy ROM 23673, Radio 2.12.x,

class 2 16 Gb memory card and can't get internet data to work.

Everything else running smooth, less the known build issues of course.

On settings mobile network is selected and T-Mobile shows up as the network

operator.

Apologize if it is a noobish request but will appreciate any help to make internet

work.

Thanks again.

If it gets stuck at "jumping to kernel" then chances are you're using the old startup file. When you copied the new files over it should've came with a "default" file. What I did was rename the old startup file to "startup_old" in case i still needed it and renamed that new default file to "startup". That got me past the first few lines it was getting stuck at.

Sprite Migrate was recommended to me on this forum.

http://www.spritesoftware.com/Products/Migrate/Migrate-Your-Data-Now/How-To-Transfer

First you install a program in Windows Mobile that will create a file to migrate all your contacts, SMS, bookmarks to Android. Move that file from your SD card to your PC

Then, you install a program on your PC that converts that file you created in WM to a file that Android can load. Give the converted file a name and put it on your SD card.

Finally, you download an app on Android from the Market that reads the converted backup file and loads all your contacts, SMS, bookmarks in Android.

Hello,

I just downloaded a few different versions of Android and followed the tutorial, i ran CLRCAD.exe and nothing happened. After then i applied to Haret.exe even when the whole archive is within or without the android map, and reformatted my sd-card to make sure. But it just keeps failing the problems that i have is listed here:

- Keeps stuck at loading kernel

- During boot i get lots of code, its so smal that i cant read it. After a while i see 2 lines on the left of my screen as for the rest of the code is fading away. The 2 lines fades out after a while and nothing happens.. the screen just turned black. After a reboot im still in my Stock wm 6.5 rom.

What are my problems?

Poor Reception?

I have a TMOUSA HD2 with the 2.12.50 Radio, EnergyROM and ShuCRAFT V1.3 Android. I'm finding that my reception is not very good and I'm constantly losing my signal..both 3G and Edge. I am in an area that doesn't have a strong signal however my myTouch 3G always has at least one bar.

Is there anything I can do to help the reception?

I've also tried the FroyoStone by Darkstone build, but the battery life was so poor I didn't keep it and I'm not sure if the same reception issue existed with it.

Your startup.txt will have to match your zImage (kernal)

For each zImage/android build combination the startup.txt is a little different. Your build shoulod come with startup.txt that works fine. When you update your zImage, you will have to edit a couple of lines to match. The place where you got your zImage should include at least a link to a working startup.txt.

Since you had an updated kernal, the Cotulla_zImage_VOLUME... will not boot properly because of changes in the startup.txt.

The squeaky robot voice will not change when you change zImage, but it will when you change WM ROM. I would either downgrade back to 2.10XX or try flashing different radios to see if one works. (When you flash a new ROM usually you get a new radio).

2)Additionally you need to specify the following. Those parameters are dependent on the build you use. Look them up in your present startup.txt

*Initial ram disk filename (set initrd initrd.gz)

*Command line paramters (set cmdline "foo=bar google=android" )

this is for the most up to date kernal builds from git. Where all the kernals come from.(zImage = kernal)

I plan on getting the HTC HD2 and install Android on it. But I have a few questions:

1. Does Android run on top of WM? If so, doesn't this use more memory and consume more battery?

2. are the builds good enough for daily use?

3. what is average battery life you are getting?

4.how often does it crash?

5. It seems Android is running from the memory card. Doesn't this affect the performance of Android as the I/O of the memory card is a bit slow compared to the ROM in the device?
