I said I "patent"(maybe grammar and spelling isnt your thing either) my self on being a pretty smart guy, meaning I dont know everything......Computers is one of my weak points ..... I just want android homie Im not trying to waste my time bickering with someone online I got waaaaaaay more important things to do like studying and making good grades on this FULL scholarship I have, and whether my grammar and spelling is perfect or not Im about to have a degree and graduate school with 0 loans and when I get drafted Im sure I can get some one to put android on my hd2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lockb05:
lets say I do all those steps posted in those links....does android work good yet? All those steps and stuff overwhelm me
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vdawg7:
Actually, grammar and spelling is my thing. I'm a court reporter, and when I see your post it drives me bananas. You should seriously focus more on your schooling.

So, let me get this straight...

You want android on your phone, but you don't want to do anything? Think about that for a second.

Nobody here can help you because you are basically asking someone to physically do it for you. The guides provided on this website are more than enough.

As I stated before, I didn't even know what a ROM was last week. If you are so impatient, then just move on. This is not for the computer illiterate.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RJackson:
First thing I'm doing to say: Don't rush into it. I've put down some simple steps, but learn a bit about each stage before you do it. I'm not going to accept responsibility if you do something wrong.

Step 1: HSPL your device. Follow this guide with this HSPL.

Step 2: Flash a radio. I'm using 2.12.50.02_2.

Step 3: Download an Android build. I use Darkstone Froyo v1 with Cotulla's latest zImage (as of 03/08 [DD/MM])..

Step 4: Stick the build on your SD card, and replace the old zImage with the new one.

Step 5: Via WM, run clrcad (nothing will show up, it's normal) and then haret.

Put the apk on your SD card and use the app "File Manager" to locate and run the file.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] palosjr:
alright bro, check it out... HD2 Forum is not the only place to learn about android. There are plenty of forums on XDA that will provide an ample amount of information about what you are looking for. As far as a cab, there is no such thing as a simple cab to just install android as an app.

Easiest thing to do is to read and search. If you dont know a term, google is your friend. here is a start thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728813

FWIW (for what its worth) I will post my setup -

Base ROM - NRG Barebones WinMo

Radio - 2.10.50.26

Android Build - shubi-CyanogenRC2

SDcard - Class 10 4GB

DualBoot app - depends which one i am testing

Please read the information on flashing a radio and a ROM before you ask how to do it or come back and say that your phone wont power on. All information is here on XDA, if you dont bother to read, I wont bother to help (sounds rude, but I can only do so much via a PC).

Best of luck, and if you are still completely lost, hit me up via gtalk - palosjr@gmail.com

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] wilwilwel:
If your willing to pay ... Why dont you buy a HTC Desire it has Andriod 2.1 fully working .. No bugs .. You even get support ... And it has simular hardware as HD2

Or wait till Motorolla launches its "almost same as IgayPad thing" wich runs Andriod 3.0

Really changing your HD2 wont work without spending some hours reading into stuff. Because when you **** it up .. And believe me it will happen at least once .. You do need to know how to handle and get you phone back to working.

And stop flaming. Trivial questions are asked all the time and we (if i may speak onbehave others) are getting a lil sick of it. It fills up good dev threats till its hardly readable.

Btw sorry for my bad englisch its not my native language :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LvDisturbed1:
Uhh, you might want to just stick to the Samsung Vibrant buddy. IMO the hardware in the Vibrant is superior overall. Sure the HD2 has an extra 64MB of RAM, and an extra .3" of screen space, but the Galaxy S series of phones (what the Vibrant is part of) have that nice SAMOLED screen, 802.11 b/g/n, bluetooth 3.0 support, 720p video recording (which WM cannot do, regardless if the camera CAN support it), and a large storage capacity...16GB I think. Then there is Samsung's Hummingbird processor vs Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor, and more importantly, The PowerVR SGX540 GPU (in the Vibrant, and all other Galaxy S devices) vs the Adreno 200 GPU (formerly AMD z430 and the GPU for the current Snapdragon CPU's, which the HD2 uses). You should research it yourself, but I'll go ahead and tell you Samsung's Hummingbird wins.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mantis_2k:
OK...to shut you up and do the reading for you... it doesnt take long to work out.

1) Download HSPL

2) Download Radio

3) Download ROM

4) Format SD Card

5) Download Android or Froyo Build to SD Card

Android - Straight on SD card

Froyo - Put in Android folder on root

Take the leap/risk, its totally worth it.

I asked process questions 2 days ago, but I did the homework and reading behind it rather than moaning. Nobody cares if you play American handball.

READ the forums and advice people are giving you! It takes NO MORE than 10minutes for complete the whole process.

PS. Extra advice. Create a folder on your desktop with sub folders for each section (HSPL, Radio, ROM, Build). Makes things a little bit easier to follow.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mantis_2k:
@wilwilwel

He wilwilwel,

I have to disagree with you. If you read the forums and understand the process of it (read my previous reply on this forum) it doesnt take any time at all. There is no risk at all, Android works absolutly fine on the HD2, granted its still early days and development still needs to take place on the software.

Take the risk, the worst that could happen to your HD2 is you have an awesome ROM on it which is much much better than the original HD2 software.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ttownfeen:
I empathize completely with the OP. There is a lot of technobabble that is thrown around on the forums. It is something that can be intimidating to a newcomer. It doesn't help that everything on here comes with warnings about potential destroying your very expensive device.

I don't know about others, but reading all the documentation in the world won't help me learn a process unless I see an example of it being done. Luckily, there are tons of videos on YouTube showing you in real time how to flash a new custom ROM and Android on your HD2.

The methods of getting Android on your phone really are made for dummies, you just have to cut through the jargon.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 11calcal:
Good wordage mantis you've learned quickly instead of asking for everything to be spoon fed you've listened to others and read up details before asking for someone to do it for you. The op who started it can't be arsed now he's got the info off everyone & not even a thnx ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mantis_2k:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] darkt123:
No need to be pompous. The only thing that can be said is that people need to read because the guides are newb friendly and pretty detailed. I never went to school for programming, but through patience and reading I'm now familiar with most of the terms and know what to do.

It's not about having a huge gpa or being a college boy. It's about patience and learning. Not instant gratification.

Hi,

I just rooted my N1 and put on the CM 6.0.0 RC2 ROM.

It has a lot of nice things, but has 2 big issues for me;

1. Bluetooth voice dialling does not work right. When you press the headset button the N1 no longer says "speak now". If there is more than one match on a search, it does not say the choices back, so you can pick right one. Total show stopper for me as I need to use this often.

2. I don't like ADWL as much as stock and it is not as smooth either.

Is there a version of the stock ROM, but rooted, so I can put this on until the above is fixed?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DreamHazard:
Today my friend got his HTC Desire, attempted update to 2.2 (I think that's what he tried)...

before the update started, the screen went black. He cancelled the update and hard rebooted the device. Still no luck. there's nothing appearing on the screen at all.

The other features of the device all work, the phone works, and the touch screen is registering input, the reboot key combination appears to work, but the screen isn't displaying anything, and the backlight isn't coming on at all.

Any ideas as to why this is happening, and what can be done to make the Desire desirable once more?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanTehManUK:
Have you tried rooting it?

is it a branded or debranded Desire?

It's a UK o2 branded Desire, he was attempting to debrand at the time.

We have tried both warm and cold reboots
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adjei7:
This sounds like a hardware problem. I am facing the same issue, but it's sporadic. For me it started before I rooted (so I don't think it's related), and the screen went blank with a single pixel width white line at the top. After a while the screen would gradually go green. I found that it fixed itself after either taking the battery out or waiting a while. I'm gonna return my handset after I unroot it (t-mobile uk, locked), but will have to wait till I get back from abroad. I'm hoping the t-mobile update won't be out when I get back cos I want to be able to root it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DreamHazard:
he's had it replaced by o2... thankfully he hadn't rooted it before the problem occurred, and they straight up swapped it for him

Here is the RUU for 3.26.651.6

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A9AI5RM9

Ok, I have had my Evo for a while and have had it rooted with NAND unlocked and eng bootloader running cyanogenmod nightly builds. That is until yesterday when I got all willy nilly about trying to go to the stock froyo ota.

So this is a description of my willy nilly as far as I remember.

I figured I had to downgrade to 651.1 so that I could apply the incremental update so I followed an unroot back to stock tutorial and reflashed with this guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715915

But when I tried to get the update and apply it, it failed on signature.

So I tried to follow this guide. So now I am trying to downgrade with RUU method and HTC sync.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743192

This keeps on failing even after several tries but eventually I boot back up to the rom (651.1) and the signature works and I get upgraded to 2.2!

Yay, so now I am at 2.2 with a different (locked) bootloader that comes with this OTA update. I also have stock recovery and no root now. But I also have SU app that I cant remove and some stuff just gets wonky. Like when I try to update google maps, the phone just reboots.

So what do I want?

I want some signed way of just loading the full update 651.6 without root and using the stock recovery. Or maybe an RUU file for this update that will just get me to stock froyo, no SU app none of it.

See the rom I upgraded from probably was modified more than I thought it was and thats why I am having issues.

I have certain MKV files which can be played and ones which cannot be played on my SGS, after a little searching i found it can be due to certain codecs not being supported by the sgs natively.

does anyone know a decent quick converting windows application?

example the MKV file i have is 6 channel audio, which i believe is not supported. i need to convert the audio codec of this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dipac:
You need three separate applications to convert your DTS audio to AC3 format that SGS can read. Note that 1080p is not supported so i can't help you there.

The applications you need are:

1. MKV Extract GUI - to extract the dts audio

2. DTS2AC3 - To convert the DTS audio to AC3 audio

3. MKV Merge GUI - to merge the newly created AC3 audio with your mkv file

You can do a good search to find these apps and instruction on how to use

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sany:
check 'popcorn mkv audio converter' - it does all by itself using the tools mentioned by dipac. No hazzle for us, it takes less than a minute to convert a video song without modifying the video quality.

Suggest me an app to do the same for mp4s please.

FKG Froyo killed my Swype, several times.

The 1st thing I noticed after the upgrade, was Swype not working. It was trashed. So I re-run the installation program again.

It worked, but then I noticed all my stored words were gone. Hundreds of words I added to the fkng dictionary were gone.

Then, Swype stopped working again. When I swype, it draws the path, but the word won't be typed. If I type it key by key it works.

So it's garbage after Froyo.

I have seen the weirdest things after the upgrade. I had 3G and full bars, and yet I got the message "Network not available", for about 1 hour. I couldn't send or receive email, I couldn't surf. I could make phone calls only. The 3G indicator, and full bars, and no network error.
