Question RE: zImage

I've been trying to get Android on my HD2 for a few days now, and finally had some success with Darkstone's.

Everything runs really great!... For a while. Until:

-Screen death when trying to unlock phone after manually locking it.

-Battery charge reading -- There is none. Battery tray icon AND battery widget both read 0% at all times, even while the phone is plugged in and charging.

I'm told I need to download a zImage that fixes both Screen Death and battery issues. Does anyone know which zImage this might be?

I was using the Nexus One version last night, and changing the zImage sent it into a permanent green screen of death whenever I'd try to boot Android. So this is why I'm a little nervous about changing my zImage abruptly for that reason. ;P

Any help or answers would be much appreciated. I know it may be a noobish question, but I appreciate any advice! :)

If it helps, I'm using:

Miri & Steve's Elegancia 1.0

Radio 2.10.50.26

Darkstone's HD2 FroYo 1.7 (which I hope to make my day-to-day OS after I figure all this craziness out! ;D)

I keep getting sleep of death, ive tried using both zimages, all builds and countless fat32 reformats. When i put my phone into sleep while running android with any build it never comes out. I have hspl3 installed with a energy rom. I currently have matfroyo with sense installed with the 1gb custom image.

Been running [mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense RC1.4][Kernel: Cotulla 2.6.32.9 #103] for a few days now and loving it.

I'm curious as to how exactly these builds are running using the current method off the SD card. What I mean is, is Windows Mobile still running in the background? Is there anything we can do in WM that will optimise the performance of Android?

I notice that Advanced Task Killer Pro reports only around 75-100MB of available memory...why is this?

Sorry for the noob questions, but I'm keen to learn more about the workings of it...:)

Guys,

I'm using Android 2.2 froyo. How will I be able to put picture in my own account so there will a picture of me in all my conversations in the threaded messages? I can only add pictures in the contacts but not in my own account. Thanks.

[Question]Disable MS Exchange Password Policy

Hey guys,

Anyone know how to disable MS Exchange Password Policy on Froyo (Android 2.2)?

"LockPicker" from the Markets used to work with Android 2.1. But this isn't working on Froyo. Anyone else have alternative?

I'm using mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense RC1.4.

It shuts down WM's when in you in the DOS mode (White writing with black background) before launching Android OS.

People are saying, you should load Haret as soon as you reboot your device to optimise Android. So reboot prior loading Haret is recommended.

Current build does not use full 576mb of RAM, instead it only uses 256mb of RAM. The Android OS uses around 150mb of RAM, hence the 75-100mb available for users.

Backing up contacts and sms

Hello,

Ive searched high and low but cant seem to find a solution. Ive started to use android as my day to day OS now that battery life is great and its stable enuff. I used sprite migrate to get everything from winmo to Android. Now what i need is something like PIM backup but for android so that i can easily transfer contacts "and" sms everytime a new build comes out. :)

Any help will be much appreciated!

The only concepts i dont get are ubuntu and zimage.

1) how do you install zimage or change it.

2) what is ubuntu? i have no idea what that is at all.

Use gmail for email/contacts/calendar backup.

Use mybackup for rom settings/sms/alarms/dictionary etc to a remote server.

Use Titanium backup for apps to sd card.

Backup apps can be automated for nightly backup.

Hey there,

I got a tiny question:

I played with android for several days, found it quite nice and downloaded lots of stuff from the market. most of the stuff I would like to keep. is there any chance to save the apps, in case I switch my rom? I cannot find any *.cab equivalent files :) so, where are my downloads and apps so I can install them after hardresetting the device.

thanks in advance!

How to upgrade

I've searched and know other people have asked this question but no definitive answer:

Every couple of days a new build comes out (brilliant - the devs here are amazing) but to install new means losing all settings / apps etc.

What parts from the new build do we need to upgrade? zimage? rootfs? or the whole lot?

What about the userdata image can we copy that back?

Any help much appreciated - by a few I'm sure.

Advice needed

Dear All,

Was away for sometime as busy with work, but i really wanted to try out the Andi on my HD2 last time before the new breakthroughs i was able to boot Android, but since last night i'm trying to boot different android versions but typically iam faced with an infinite loop at boot process which reads something - "Cluster 55xxx out of range", i tried to look for similar situations but failed to fined any answers or questions related to this so thought of taking our members advice. Just to inform i have formated my card several times but no luck. Kindly advice as to what;s need to be done.

Iam on Leo_cloudy rom with radio 2.12.50

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zephr5:
On the setup I have NRGZ Aug1 rom 2.12.50 tmob usa with the shubcraft version when in adroid settings go to settings/cyanogenmodsettings/appsettings/install location set to automatic that might help. My setup runs pretty smooth just about everything works no echo in calls. Sometimes gets alittle laggy but all versions do at this point. Hope it helps!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zephr5:
I see you are from Dubai so first off iam from tmobile usa (California) to be exact but the only advice i can give is that maybe it could be rom related possible try another rom i use nrgy rom Aug 1 radio 2.12.50 and running shubcraft android. Just be careful not to flash a rom or radio not compatible with your area Dubai. Make sure the sd card has enough memory i have a 2gb that works but just put the Android folder in the root of the sd card and if you use a dual boot like jmz dual boot helps start android alot faster and better i think. It might not work the first time or green screen or blue or black or whatever just pull battery and try it like 5 or 6 time before you quit it has taken me a few tries sometimes. Even erase any files that android created in the sd card probably any you dont recognize. Then boot again. You will get it!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] imtiyazee:
In-fact i have done wht has been advice by use but no use, i changed my rom and radio still the problem remains, when boot sequence starts linux it just goes on scrolling n scrolling no stop. I have run android earlier without any problem but don't know whats wrong this time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bingoig11:
It may be a silly question or that has been asked for million times already, but I'm juste wondering:

Is there a chance that we could, someday, flash our Leo with a fully Android ROM like we do with Winmo? I mean simply replacing the Winmo ROM with an Android one? For the moment, Android is running on the SD but it slows down the OS.

Not really, but if you're in a bind and cant do anything to make it boot, you can flash the stock rom from the development forum and reset your phone back to factory defaults.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] rpearl:
Flash the leaked radio etc from before? No, you need to do that first; it can't be packed in.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rpearl:
Just so you know, all engineering bootloaders are leaks from people inside HTC / Providers. They are not developed in any way by people. All of Toastcfh's stuff for the Evo? That is fantastic and a great tool to have, but it is not something that Toast developed.

On the other hand, we are working on a way to obtain S-OFF on shipped builds.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gbenj:
I mean as of now I know we need to use the OTA to get the radio then flash this, but if we can wait a bit can both be updated in one shot like a patched OTA so we can update and not have to do a clean wipe?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] g00s3y:
ok so if i already have the leaked OTA from before, all i have to do is flash this over with a full wipe?

can anybody confirm that once this is all installed the correct way that there are no issues with AAC+ music playback?

i flashed this right over 2.1 without the other leaked OTA and the new radio, without wiping and i can not play aac+ streams in XiiaLive and the aac+ files i have saved on my phone do not play correctly.

will it work fine once i do it the correct way?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] SifonX:
Couple of Tweaks

H'ok, so I've been messing with the ROM for a little bit and I have a couple of things to report.

First things first you CAN remove CityID through the usual method of adb shell. If you don't know what that is, I don't suggest trying it. I assume this is true of other stock apps, though I haven't tried to kill any other ones.

Secondly, I tried to apply adrynalyne's fingerprint.zip patch to attempt to get all the apps to show up in market. (I noticed this glitch pretty quickly when I went to go download a few apps). Unfortunately, it just bootloops the phone. This isn't surprising considering it was engineered for 2.1, but I figured I'd give it a go.

That's all folks! Thanks again OP!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ckirkp79:
LOL. I started to read this thread and it was only 15 pages. I am now done reading all 19 pages and I have cracked up consistently. Thanks for the Rom. I'm going to try it out here soon. Gotta unroot my phone though. I am a newbie with Android and I just googled and searched on XDA and all the answers were here.

Gotta love all the comments though (the smart a** ones are even funnier)

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kipphh:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] SifonX:
You must be rooted to apply this ROM. It's been said a thousand times in the thread. Please read before you ask.

Step 1: Apply OTA leak from two weeks ago.

Step 2: Use Unrevoked 3.1 to root and obtain clockworkmod recovery.

Step 3: Place the downloaded .zip file from the OP to the root of your sdcard

Step 4: Reboot into recovery (Either through ROM Manager, or by holding down the volume down button and power button simultaneously when the phone is off and selecting recovery)

Step 5: Select both the "Wipe Data" and "Wipe Cache" options in Clockworkmod or ROM Manager.

Step 6: Choose the "Install from SDcard" option in Clockworkmod, then select the .zip file you placed on the card earlier.

Step 7: Profit.

Can someone please post a list of detailed instructions on how to do this with an unrooted stock 2.1 Incredible. I've tried all the instructions i can find and i can't even get the leaked OTA update installed. Please help.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Θmega:
You'll have to reinstall all your apps and settings but anything you've bought through the Market can *always* be reinstalled without having to pay again.

Install it as-is and then remove them, or wait until someone finishes making a version with Sense UI removed.

Do you still have to do the payload update after running Unrevoked 3.1 like the instructions for installing OTA say?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cantare:
possible dumb question re:radio version

OK, when the earlier "leaked OTA" came across, we were warned that if VZW upgraded the radio further in the official release, people who installed the leak would be "screwed" as they would not be able to update their radios. (I can't post links, but that warning came from the OP of this thread.)

Today, we're talking as if this is an advance copy of the official 2.2/Sense update rumored for 8/6, with root added. Seems reasonable enough...but doesn't the same caution apply? Imagine that the 'official' 2.2/Sense comes out a week late with an unanticipated last-minute radio update: won't those of us now flashing this leaked 2.2 plus the older leaked radio also be "screwed"?

I'm not speaking from a position of authority or knowledge here...just wanting to clear up something that seems fairly important.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Juicy Jones:
So if u can't use stock recovery then how is this a stock rom?
