[HD2 Android SD Development] spimonkey34:
mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.8

Quick Changes:

New EVO kernel

Wifi tethering now works

Light sensor works

PPP reliability improved dramatically

No more hard freezes switching from Wifi to mobile data

MMS size fixed for T-Mobile US

Touch screen and G-Sensor freezes practically eliminated

Green line in YouTube HQ is gone, picture quality is improved

Based on the official HTC Desire Froyo update.

READ THIS!! You will see a strange screen at boot. It may have different images or lines in black/white and will appear to be frozen. This is normal, just be patient and it will move past this. Also, there is no RMNET - not even an option - for this build. PPP is stable and no longer freezes.

Random notes on the build:

Kernel is not overclockable. You can always replace with an overclockable kernel if you wish.

On PPP build, make sure all of your APN settings are correct. It may not work if they are not.

Instructions:

Download zip file.

Extract contents of zip file into a folder on your SD card named 'Android'.

Using a file explorer in Windows Mobile, inside the 'Android' folder run CLRCAD.exe. Don't worry, it will appear to do nothing, that is normal.

Run Haret.exe.

Enjoy Android.

Known problems:

It is easier to list what I know doesn't work.

Certain apps from the market won't install. Neocore is one for example. You have 2 options to get them to work. A) Copy the .apk to your SD card then run it from your phone or B) Unmount your SD card first (Settings > SD Card > Unmount SD Card).

Notification LEDs are flaky, sometimes work, sometimes not

Camera flashes prematurely.

Some items you may want that are indeed WORKING!

Bluetooth - Works completely on my Ford Sync system. A2DP, streaming audio, answering and ending calls, etc. BT Keyboards don't work yet.

Camera

3G. I get ~1000kbps down in Ft Worth. My EDGE speeds have increased in RC1.4.

WIFI. Confirmed working with WEP and WPA.

GPS. Takes some time to pickup on first use, works great.

SIM contacts are working. (edit: some people have had issues, I have not).

I have included Automount (a free app) to mount your SD Card. Simply open Automount, set it to mount, then plug in your USB cable.

FM Radio

Camcorder!

Added Voice Dialer and Voice Search apps. They work great.

RC1.2:

Added Cotulla's and dan1j3l's GPS fix. I don't think it has been tested 100% so just know it is experimental right now. Thanks to the devs for getting us that!

Cleaned some unnecessary files to (hopefully) improve speed a little.

Testing improved stability of the filesystem.

If you transfer files to your device (music, etc.) as a USB device, make sure to safely eject the device before removing the USB cable.

If you improperly remove the device, you may experience some strange issues.
