What does this do? sorry im new and want to know whats the point of accesing this?

Worried because It might brick my phone if i did it..

+ Has anyone reported their htc hd2 messing up when they install android?

Patched RootFS files (thanks to michyprima) to gain Root access to your Android Build:

DarkStones DesireV5 build - *HERE*

dan1j3l's Froyo V1 build - *HERE*

dan1j3l's Froyo with Sense PR1 build - *HERE*

XTarantula's Eclair V1 build without Sense - *HERE*

Useage: Copy the required file across to the right place on your Storage Card, overwrite the existing file. Load Android and thats it.

Just a quick question, I back up all my contacts with imobiletool,how do i restore them into Android for when it boots up. Or do I just do a normal win restore then they will show in the Android system.

I have just tried a Android version but had no contacts so I have just re installed 6th Aug Energy leo back on.

Thanks

I'm having some issues with the 3G data on my htc, I have a TMOUS hd2 with Miri's WM6.5 v17 Rom, dan1j3l's Froyo V1 build, 2.12 radio and latest cotulla zimage

so here's the problem:

browser loads too slow, sometimes it says it can't connect to the server although I'm at full bars on 3G, I tried youtube and some other data apps and they work fine, I also tried installing another browser such as the dolphin browser HD but it still loads too slow, also when trying to download from the market, takes several minutes to start downloading. None of these happens when on wifi and I doubt it's the 3G coverage because I get a constant 3mbps when doing the speedtest and when I switch to WinM 3G speed is fast as it should be ( taking about 5-8 secs to load a full page but on android sometimes it doesn't even finish loading )

can somebody give me any info on this problem ? :(

I would like to suggest not just a Q&A thread but a subsection dedicated to this.

The reason why is because to many random questions that have been answered before I being posted in the main section. I value all the members that we have but id like to see the forum's being used more productively.

I noticed in the Q&A thread a lot of peoples questions had been skipped over. I believe this is do to the number of post that get added to this thread and that one.

I think that if we had a sub-section just for questions less flaming would go on. Also there wouldnt be a need for double post as these topics would have their own thread. I believe it would make the mods life easier to control all the unneed post without having to drop the ban hammer.

also there is a lot of information in the other threads that are about android. I think that needs to be highlighted so that the dev's dont have to deal with the I'm knew to android questions.

I have put a lot of thought into this and I would just like for us to get along.

mskip or joshkoss or dharvey would you please consider this Idea.

If anyone else supports this idea please say so. I did not give this post its own thread because I felt I would be adding to the problems of random uneeded threads. I also tried not to call anyone out so please dont be offended.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] frozn:
Hi guys, I have some questions on Android on the HD2, since I'm fairly new to this.

First of all, I'm currently using the mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.5 build, and I'm having some problems, so a switch to darkstone's new released FroyoStone V1 is expected for me.

The only problem is, I'm entirely new to this, as the mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.5 build is my first Android build, so I'm not sure how everything works.

How would I uninstall this build? I know I can just delete the Android folder in the root of my storage card, but does that wipe everything that the mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.5 installed? I've noticed some new folders in my SD card which I think is related to the build.

Also, I notice how darkstone's build has V1 in it. That must mean there are more versions to come, with updates. Is there any way I can update my build without erasing all information on it ( this question also applies to updating from the mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.5 build. )

Cheers,

Kevin

Job Control Turned Off

So i run android and it comes to the stage where it says job control turned off and the _ keeps blinking for ever...usually if i got this issues i took out all files and put android on the sd card after formating to Fat32 and it worked ok again...but this time it doesnt work like that...boots first time and on the 2nd one it just doesnt finish loading and stops on job control using FroyoStone Clean Android Build with Pretige X Rom and Running Radio 2.12

Wi-fi and 3G Under Android?

1st let me say I did a search under Wi-fi and 3G and didn't find an answer so...

I have a question about internet connectivity under Android

My Phone:

HD2, TMOUS,

Radio 2.10.50.26

ROM - Energy LEOIMG.nbh Aug-6-2010

Running Android FroyoStone_Sense Aug-6-2010

I have a home Wi-fi (WEP) and the phone appears to connect fine to it under both Android and WM. Both O.S.'s report "connected".

But I can't connect to Google maps, Market or the surf the web under Android. If I activate my 3G connection (T-Mobile US, running under the Android data plan) then the above apps are fine, provided I disable Wi-fi. If the Wi-fi is active it apparently takes priority over the 3G and I can't connect.

Is there some sort of setting or something I'm not doing correctly to use Wi-fi under Android?

I've tried Ping-Pong and other Wifi apps to try to resolve the issue. As far as I can tell I have a valid IP address, DNS and gateway.

I'm using a Belkin N router with 128 bit WEP. The phone connects fine under WM, just not under Android.

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jinharry:
I'm having a similar problem. You do need to call t-mobile and switch from the smartphone plan to the Android plan (same cost). The Android plan apparently configures T-mobile's servers to give you access to the Android marketplace and other android specific locations.

I can't get my wi-fi to work with Android (it connects but I can't connect to anything), but my 3G/edge connection does work now.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] anniehero:
not true. i still have my smartphone plan (NOT the android one) and i can access/download from the market fine over my 3g connection. i'm running nrgz's energy 2.0 rom with dan's senseless froyo build and radio 2.12. they released a new rootfs file (i think that was it anyway) that got the 3g working.

i only quoted this because once you switch to the android data plan you might run into problems on the wm side of things, and sometimes you can also run into problems getting the plans switched around.

check everything you have running on your little guy, then call tmobile as a last ditch effort. a lot of people have found some combination of roms etc that got their data connections working :]

Hi guys,

I have a question, Searched for it but did not find it anywhere.

Is the HD2 capable to make 2 connections on the same time with bleutooth.

If so, is it posible to make an app on android that connects to a carkit and an other phone and act as an hup? so when I get called on the second phone the stuff is routed to the carkit? ofcaurse it must declare phonecalls from the other phone if the carkit is already in use?

Is this posible? does it already exist? I would like such an app.

T-Mobile Data Plans

Correction - The person at T-mobile told me that it may be possible to connect to the Android Market with the standard data plan but since the Android plan is the same price it would be better to switch. In my case that took only 20 minutes and I can switch back just as quickly. I plan to get off of WM as soon as Android matures on the HD2.

Re: Data connection - I'm not having a problem with 3G/T-mobile, my problem is with wifi. I can't connect to the internet while in Android. I have tried two different hot spots in addition to my home router and I get the same result. Valid local IP address and I can ping the router but the DNS function doesn't seem to work. (Yes I have a DNS IP)

Any ideas out there?

Thanks.

Posted in another thread, but thought Id ask here too, hope you can help:

I'm having same issue as OP.

Went from Desire v5 to Froyo darkstone (7/8), and no data connection, and same error "Sorry! The application Settings (process com.android .settings) has stopped ..etc when I try to accept the "Sim card changed " notification.

When I try to play with APN settings, it just constanlty says : Connection failed due to incorrect APN settings on Mobile Network screen.

There was a warning with this build about limited or no data, but didnt think it would not work at all, I had a cracking down rate with Desire V5, but would like to carry on running this Froyo build.

Any help?

EDIT: Just seen this :

Update:

Quote:

Right, let me make something clear here, this build is NOT intended for people who like absolute stock froyo with no customizations. If you don't like sense, you probably won't like this build.

If you try this build knowing you hate sense and decide to complain anyway... then make it known that I hate you. Forever. ()

Secondly, yes I will work on HD2Froyo builds, but please don't ask for ETA's. I'm limited on time for the next few days, some major events in my calander

Thirdly, I'd like to thank everyone for their support

It seems that there is a few bugs to be worked on...

a) APN settings crash, I will fix this asap.

b) USB Storage mode is disabled, I have done this on purpose. File corruption seems to occur when using android to transfer files. Are you really suprised though? You're running the O/S off the memory card too remember...

c) The touchscreen issue where it freezes is known, I acknowledge this and will be investigating it.

d) Battery may not be at its finest yet due to the kernel. I may change the kernel if it is an extreme issue.

e) Qudrant scores will only be accurate if you keep running the benchmark a few times. This is due to the CPU scaling in effect.

A user in IRC named fakker has the following score:

This is on the Sense build.

I get an average of 28.5fps on NeoCore. I wouldn't bother with linpack scores yet, they don't reflect the full performance of the system.

I'll be looking through the thread for more bugs, don't worry, I'm keeping an eye out

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RippieUK:
I was hoping i could get someone with a lot more ROM knowledge than myself to explain what is standing in the way of getting Android 100% on HD2? so you dont have to run side by side with HD2?

Why is it Haret is needed in order to run Android? Someone told me that Haret should kill all winmo processes, so then i dont understand what is causing android not to be installed without having winmo

I have myself tried NRG bare WM and FROYO from Darkstone and that looked to be running nice, a tiny bit slow but nothing to worry about... how ever i dont like the HTC Sense skin so native froyo is preferred choice.

Hope someone can shed some light over it :)

I have a Google account setup for exchange and that meant I could copy contacts straight over when syncing with the Google exchange.

I wasn't bothered by text messages, and emails would just get pulled down again.

For using the Google exchange (providing you have a Google account), all you need to do enter m.google.com for the server when setting the exchange account up on the phone. As you use your email address and password for that address and you should be good to go.

I also synced my calender with it.
