[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkhopper:
Getting the latest version of Swype is hard to come by. I've searched for the latest beta and no one seems to have it, or if they do post it, it's yanked off line pretty quickly.

From what I've gathered, Swype is trying to position themselves into including the app as a default keyboard for as many upcoming Android phones as it can. Having a contract like that will net them a heap more money than just releasing the app into the Market. So they've really been on top of shutting down any non-sanctioned copies of the latest version.

I like the Swype keyboard and hope to use it again one day, but in the meantime, I've just been using SlideIT. It's a decent enough app that mimics Swype, though it's a bit more non-forgiving of sliding over incorrect keys. Just takes some getting used to I suppose.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpeachey:
I had the same issue, and then gave up on Swype and installed SliteIt. I've actually found that I prefer SlideIt over Swype after getting used to it. The hint line and other UI features are more intuitive.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arodey:
swype is pretty easy to find if you now where to look. just google it with some common file sharing terms and you'll find it. the current version im pretty sure is 2.4.44, at least thats what im rocking.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
1. I think Cyanogen Snap is a Froyo kernel, but I also know it should be easy to find them on the first page of the Development forum if they're here. They'll start with [KERNEL] in the thread title. You didn't mean ROM, did you?

2. ClockworkMod Recovery or Amon Ra will back up everything as a system image, but Titanium Backup will back everything up more modularly AND allow you to restore things into different ROMs. This means you can flash, say, Fresh 1.0.1 and then restore your accounts, apps, app data, even scenes. Just know that it may be safer to only restore what you need, piece by piece as much as possible, rather than restoring everything all at once, unless you're using a Sense ROM. I didn't have any trouble when I restored everything, but I've seen some people say it's safer to be conservative.

3. I don't think it matters, but I always do my flashing work from the recovery boot, not while booted into Android. It's the same reason I turn off the engine in my car before I try working on it. I could probably do some stuff safely, but it's easier to just reboot into recovery. :)

ATTENTION!!

I am looking for someone willing to start and maintain a DETAILED FAQ post at the beginning of this thread. The person who chooses to take on this undertaking will assume the roll of OP in this thread. I will re-assign this post to the user who decides to do it.

If you are interested in taking on this assignment, please send me a PM.

I am also aware that there may be other FAQ's elsewhere but I do think that this is really the best place for it. What better place to have all the most frequently asked questions plus their answers then the top of the Q&A thread?

Hope to hear from you guys soon!​

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tobiascrystal:
hopefully not the stupidist question that will be asked here!

do i have to have hspl in order to run the Android on my hd2?

if so, what is the advantage, other than being able to change roms and void my warranty (if i can't remove it) of having hspl on my phone.

also, if i install hspl does it wipe out my stock ROM?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] android4hd2:
1.you technically dont need hspl for android.

2. about what you said. changing roms and radios. it can be removed for warranty. search it.

3. hspl doesnt wipe anything. just kinda "unlocks" the possibility to change roms and radios.

hope this helps :)

what is the difference between Android and the normal hd2 os.?

what benefits do u get .?

sorry to ask but don't know anything about Android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
Honestly the difference Is dependant on who you talk to. Winmo is considered to be for professionals.

Android has an active market. A lot of people consider windows mobile 6.5 to be dying as microsoft is coming out with windows phone 7.

As for benefits everyones likes are different. winmo doesnt have a twitter widget like android does. Also the android interface is easier for me to navigate. Winmo isnt hard I just prefer android.

The biggest thing is Windows mobile is really ugly. Sense is all over the phone to hide winmo's windows ce look.

Froyo_26.07.2010_by_DarkStone & HD2

Hello,

I downloaded the froyo build and the dual boot program.

I can boot one time into android, and when i try to boot again the device will never finish. I only see the boot screen with the linux logo and many lines....

It takes hours but it never boots into android.

After i completely removed the dualboot progam and all android files from my sd-card I can boot it one time.

My HD2 (with latest NRG ROM") freezes when i press the restart button in android.

Does anybody have a solution for this strange behavior?

Thanks for you quick respones in advance...

I have installed andoid on htc hd2 6 different versions

my question is after u get the program up and running and its running good the whole day, the next day i reboot or turn the device on the program will not run again. I did notice that every time i install android the next day it will not boot up

So what makes me so crazy is i know its not fully ready but Man it ran great for the whole day. So all it does now is just hang with all the number and letters scrolling down and after a min or so will keep repeating the same line of numbers over and over again and the penguin at the top of the screen just like fall the others did with the black screen background.

the last build i tried was ----

HTC Leo: HD2HD2 Android Development

[BUILD] [27.07.2010] [mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense RC1.1] [Kernel: Cotulla 2.6.32.9 #71] Radio is 2.10.50.26 g15.39.50.7u D2 egergy 8G on my tmobile phone now.

To me it just looks like every time i reboot the phone i lose android. so now i am going to reboot every single time install something in android i will reboot and see which one of the programs i install is messing me up.

Wow i just wish i could figure this out and i am having a great time trying all of the different versions from day to day. i know if not fully ready but man two different version ran just great on my phone for one whole day. any thing i left out just ask me and i will try to explain what i mean or what i didnt remember to say here. But man this is great and i am Great-full for all the people here doing all of this great work on this project, I think these people here are the best of the best... Thank YOU!!!!!:):D

Hi guys I tried Android on my HD2 for the first time yesterday. I saw this youtube video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK3AlYnGUwU ) and downloaded his zip file. I ran the sound clcrad file and then the android haret file. It booted up within 5 minutes. it ran everything but was sluggish. I rebooted it to see what happens if you have to redo the clcrad file and haret everytime, and you did. it booted up into windows.

I tried again and now my phone won't boot into android. it stays on the matrixy screen. showing battery information mainly I think. I've left it on for an hour now and no luck.

Can someone please help me? I'm provding with as much information as I can. Youtube link and two screenshots. I pressed volume down + power and took a picture of the hslpda screen.

I rebooted and now it gets stuck in an infinite loop of the "ANDROID" screen. The unlock screen will appear but when I unlock it, process.acore. stops and force closes, then "ANDROID" Screen again. and again and...

I love the very stable froyosense just released this August 2010. However, I can't use both versions because both run from the Android\ folder.
