Correct :D

You will need the /superuser/(x)bin/su that was exchanged in the V1.00a build.

V1.00 had an old one as, as far as I know, currently it is in mattc build AND you will need the new rootfs.img as in the old one there was some stupid scripting like "overlink su in system with su from rootfs for everyone that was too lazy to make all busybox links in system folder again".

Btw. the old one gave superuser to anynone without asking, so even with this old version I think people should be happy with their apps.

Used Root Explorer without any problem BEFORE this was fixed!!!

Anyway, I am a fan of programs that ask me for my permission to do what they want to do.

By the way, I don't like SetCPU as my opinion is "if it's not meant to be this way then DO NOT FORCE IT THAT WAY".

But as I heard from some people having problems with this build I will try my luck with this.

ok, so i can just replace the old root file that i overwrote and everything will be fine. i just won't get asked for it use it. i get it. thx for the quick reply!

After a full day of trying out all the other builds, I'm happy to say that I am back to this one. There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that this build is just as fast as the others and much, MUCH more stable. I just had more force closes in an hour on shubCraft 1.4d than I had in 5 days running this build.

Once again. Amazing job.

lockscreen, new build

i have problems with the lockscreen, sometimes when the hd2 is in my pocket and a call comes in it doesn't lock. any alternatives?

xcelsior, there are some major update i read in mattc's thread. do you plan to make an update? your build is the most stable, i don't have any freezes or issues. only battery drain ittle bit higher, but no problem... ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Crusoe86:
I know this problem with the lock when you got a incoming call...

But that is normal that the screen isn't locked in this situation.

In WM it is the same...

Ahhhh... Xcelsoir... Be careful with updates... The new mattc 1.6 is quit unstable and misses no chance to crash :D

The SU does not work (again), no ringtones (there is a workaround), SetCPU is not working (SU problem), BT is not working (no pairing to other devices) and some other little issues which we have not find out at the moment :D

But if you want something to update... :D

OpenVPN is not working properly, it connects to the Server but don't get an IP address... Something is wrong with the busybox and/or the links to ifconfig and route which should be linked to busybox...

Since my globe is out of order I have to find another way to identify the problem. Maybe I should read the all and meaningless saying logs of OpenVPN, maybe I'll find some hints...

[SOLVED]

I've repaired my globe and found a solution for OpenVPN.

Take a look at my OpenVPN Tutorial :)

It's made for this ROM :)

And...

The flashlight is not working :D

The notifacation LED don't show if I charge the battery :D (but that can be a result of the kernel update I've done)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sandman2025:
HI all,

I was having a problem running this so I tried another micro sd card and it finally worked. Since this happened does that mean I need to format my micro sd card? I do not want to use the one that worked because it is only 2gb. And if this is the case could anyone recommend a way to backup that data on it because every time I try to copy everything to a folder on my hard drive I get an error. Thanks in advance

More specifically I am getting an error about invalid characters.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] antaed:
i said it before and i say it again, this is by far the most stable android build i have ever tried on my phone. it is also very fast and it has sense ui, so it's easily my favorite of 'em all.

the only important issue for me was the wifi error with 1.00a. i even ugraded to the latest zimage but the issue persisted. the only way i could solve it was to revert to the zimage from 1.00 so i'm happy now :).

thanks xcelsior and keep up the excellent work.

antaed
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] phatsua:
also for me this is the most stable build, the battery life is ok considering i get through a full day only with small wifi usage (not "playing with the phone").

i am on the basic build but would like to switch on the sense one for facebook contact integration even though i love the cleaness of the basic build. hope the sense one compares in terms of speed with the basic one
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ofoe2:
Love this build. Hardly any screen freezes for me. Very fast and the fon is usually very cool. Updated with latest zImage, pushed wifi modules and it works perfectly. What I love most is the battery life, amazing!

Trying to find something to complain about and just drawing blanks! Oh, yeah! Call volume in received calls really sucks like all other builds. Any fix for that yet?

Use PHM Registry Editor v0.70
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ofoe2:
Did it work for you? Couldn't find "initvolume" in "soundcategories". Could it be because the chuckydroidrom is based on winmo 6.1 the registry elements are different?

Gotta know so maybe I'll just change to chuck Rom lite.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] @itsboiboi:
I'm actually using ChuckyRom and either the 'Lite' or Tabtastic' version woks great on this android build:D

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Crusoe86:
[SARCASM]

No... I think the ROM must be based on Windows Mobile 5.0.

[/SARCASM]

Otherwise it couldn't be so fast :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ofoe2:
Yeah yeah. Lol. Set them.

First call I made was kinda loud with volume at less than half. Was in a quite place so I can't pass judgment with that. Yet to receive any calls. Will keep you updated.

Call me greedy but how about media volume? Video sound is virtually nonexistent in the bus even with headset.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
Yeah, there were several kernel updates and so on. I have refused to push out another release with the LATEST kernel as I am feeling that this is running fine as it is.

I thought of fixing some major problems first like the Superuser and built in audio before going to update or add anything.

Will have a look at your tut and implement fixes as needed for others to have this working at its best.

Thanx for the tut anyway.

Currently working on an update process using an tar.gz image containing apps/settings for apps/update script which possibly can do ANYTHING during boot time.

So far this is already working, only issue is that it seems that during VERY FIRST BOOT the settings for apps get overwritten/deleted. I am currently thinking of letting the phone reboot after first init. :rolleyes:

As above if this is fully working I am thinking of update packages with features (apks/settings/update scripts) to be released seperately. So you would be able to add the features you like by simply putting a tar.gz in your Android folder.

Will try that on my phone and make a cab out of it if it succeeds.

Will have a look at media volume, too. Have not played even one media file, neither MP3 nor video on Android :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ofoe2:
Didn't seem to work for me. I'm at work where I need it the most and received call volume still seem pretty low.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] louie317:
Which or whom ROM and RADIO are you using?

My: Miri HD2 WM6.5 (21914) ROM V 18.0 - Base ROM: 2.13.531.1 - Sense 2.5 with Swype

My: Stock RADIO 2.10.50.26

My: USA T-Mobile 1024LEO HTC HD2

My only issue is battery drain = 4 to 5% per hour, even with SetCPU and tweaks. But that is okay because android on HD2 is at an early stage, and I alway carry the charge. It's a worthy trade off.

Please alls, show encouragement to builders (by nicely suggestion), appreciation (by donation - buy them beer once in a while), and patience.

Trial and error!!!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
Trial and error, yep, that's what I'm living with at the moment :D

Android has some very strange boot behaviors.

But the good news is: My updater stuff is finally working!

By the way, I am really using the boot very first time, reboot before logo, boot a second time and do what you were intent to do on first boot :rolleyes:

This allows some very cool stuff for the future:

Installing apps AND settings as well as themes and so on

Updating, deleting, renaming and everything else you could imagine doing via shell script

Kernel update packages that are automatically installed along the needed modules in the correct version (not tested, but should be possible, too)

Multiple Update/Install/DoWhateverYouCouldImagine packages automatically processed one after another in the correct order

Plans for the far far away future ? Updater app for the internet! :D

Thanx, very appreciated.

just use ROM: Miri HD2 WM6.5.X V17.6 XtraLight, its great for this ROM ... i only see it when i have to boot android.. very fast

"Kernel update packages that are automatically installed along the needed modules in the correct version"

Wow, you are the man, can't wait for the update build.

Regarding volume, I use RockPlayer_ARMv7_1.0.31 to view Transformer 2, and music mp3 files. With those setting, they are definitely louder than my friend HD2 (same Miri's ROM, RADIO, and your android build) without.

Thank for make my HD2 more enjoyable.

Hi,

Very nice build, very stable... Thx a lot for all the good work!!

I've got an issue that i didn't hear from you guys, so it seems i'm the only one experimenting it :/ I can't download my emails from Hotmail... I configured everything like i've always did with all my cells, but here nothing, and i have to say that i 've got this issue with every Android build i've tested so far...

Anyone got an idea? Pleeeeeease :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dusdus:
I was using non sense builds so far, as other builds would mess up my connection, freeze like ice and made it a crappy phone...

Thanks! !!

New release at the weekend

Hello guys,

New release planned to be released at the weekend.

Everyone reporting problems with apps or widgets included in the BASIC or SENSE build, please report a way to reproduce, too!!!

Everything reproduceable that I can see for myself will be investigated at the weekend!

As for now the basic functions such as Superuser and built in audio files are working and permissions should be fixed as well.

Therefore I am trying to fix as much as possible for the next release to concentrate on new features and development after.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] @itsboiboi:
nice one man! been using this build..i just love it:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Crusoe86:
Ok... Then I will start :D

Wallpaper issue:

If you are on home screen and tap the Windows-button (menu) and try so set "Wallpaper" and then "HTC-Wallpapers", there are no wallpapers. Don't know where they are, so I have to use a Live wallpaper.

Data connection issue:

Low uplink connection on "rmnet" device.

Maybe you want to try the new "ppp" support?!

But with "ppp" the arrows below the "H" or "3G" logo in the taskbar are not working.

But the speed will raise extremly:

rmnet:

Downlink: 2,83Mbit/s, Uplink: 0,08Mbit/s

ppp (runs stable for me):

Downlink: 6.23Mbit/s, Uplink: 1,13Mbit/s

I know some of us having problems with "ppp", but I think that Android is not right configured for "ppp".

[SARCASM]

You should search (in the source for e.g.) for "rmnet" and replace it with "ppp".

Maybe the arrows below the "H" and "3G" logo works then, too.

[/SARCASM]
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dusdus:
I'm not a fan (yet) of ppp. Yes it's faster, but at the moment it's unstable.

The best thing about this rom (imo) is the stability. I'd suggest to keep it that way.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qipengart:
Hey there Xcelsior,

Awesome job and it is bright and nice. Battery life I am testing using the ChuckyROM and hopefully next build can extend it for sure. I love the HTC Sense for it. Thanks again!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] c1-p8:
I found that flashlight doesn't work, the camera has only 3mega and the zoom doesn't work, footprint can't catch new photo... and I'd prefer the new kernell with Htc Sync and tethering usb support :)

...and, can you remove Advanced task killer? I don't use it but I cannot uninstall if it's in rom :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
I noticed the issue with static wallpapers before. Changed to a live wallpaper for testing and wasn't able to change back to default one.

Yep, this build shall be stable. The default settings will keep designed for stability.

I will have a look at ppp and how far it is working for me. If it's good enough to be an option I will make it a packet for my new updater which will be included in the new version, so you are able to choose what to use by simply putting an installer packet into a folder on your SD card before starting Android.

If this is the plan I will create two installer packets, one to change to ppp and one to change back to rmnet.

Added.

For Advanced Task Killer, this has been already removed from my current development build and will be an installer package, so with the new release you can choose if you want it or not.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SMS92:
I'm really looking forward to this weekends release!

Your rom was the first Android build I tried on my HD2 a couple of weeks ago and it blew me away. I changed to Mattc 1.5b a few days ago due to curiousity but preferred your Sense rom, so will install the new release once its available. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LondonTownGuy:
I've never been able to use my bluetooth headset, plantronic 815 in any build, it shows connected but there is no audio and it then crashes the phone requiring a re boot. Shubcrafts uses different drivers but it still doesn't work for all people. I don't know if this is a kernel or driver problem it seems only car kits work well even though plantronics is listed in the btaudio csv.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Crusoe86:
I think there is no need to make it more complicated as it have to be...

Take a look at mattcs ROM. He released two "rootfs"'s. One for "rmnet" and one for "ppp". Maybe you can ask him how he have done that?! :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
Yeah, but that's mattc's way of doing this.

The Xcelsior way may be a bit more complex, but does not need the user to know anymore than using mattc's way.

I just like the flexibility gained using my way as this makes it possible to have ONE rootfs.img which is able to have multiple configurations.

My kitchen is designed to build the needed image files in every build completely automatically.

Current development process is based on the following steps:

- Using base image with garbage stripped out

- Creating a new image for every build like BASIC or SENSE

- Adding packages depending on build from a repository folder

This way I can make sure that every build is changed in exactly the changes that are listed in the changelogs.

For adding features process is similar:

- Using latest build on my device

- Adding/testing features by exchanging files directly on device

- If change was good, make a package out of it or implement it into base image if there is thought of being a bad change.

- Testing new feature on device with new automatically build version

This is the way I am doing my tests and releases and as long as there is no other reasonable way which improves quality of my releases I will stick to this policy.

I think the biggest advantage of using packages for this is that I can reproduce problems more precisely if I know which packages have been applied.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Crusoe86:
Oh... Sorry... I won't insult you... :o

I've been enjoying the BASIC version for a while now. But I'm getting curious about the SENSE version.

How easy is it to switch without losing all that I've done in the BASIC version? Titanium Backup? Will it corrupt things?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
To be true, I do not know if this will work without corrupting anything, so please make a backup of your Android folder before.

In general, you can use the system.ext2 from the SENSE version and you should be fine if you did not mess with files in the /system folder in Android.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
What exactly do you mean by this ?

Never had problems with APN settings and so on.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LondonTownGuy:
There is a bug in sense Roms the apns contain 7 or so errors. when you go to settings/wireless and networks/ mobile networks/ APN it crashes the phone.

A solution is to use apn backup and restore to delete apns and then restore them

(after backup)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aenima64:
I can confirm this. I also used apn backup to restore the apns without the 7 faulty apns. Afterwords I could edit my apn settings in Android which I could not do before removing the faulty ones.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ragelord:
I really like the stability of your build so please do not make compromises with the stability in order to speed up the build a little bit. Undervolted and overclocked kernel is a no go for me as well and I think it wont help stability either.

Better volume for incoming calls or better camera would be great though. Downloading apps from the market is really slow as well - about 10kb/sec.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] birkoffsjunk:
There is already a fix, you just need to replace telephony.db as it has became corrupted.

EDIT - Can you make this tip a sticky in Post #1? It might be handy for other users that want to switch (I guess it also works the other way round?). I have to admit, I really like SENSE now!

That's exactly my thought, too.

Should not be needed with new build. If APN config file in system image is correct this should not be necessary afterwards.

The new release was scheduled for this weekend, but as I got ill during the last few days there were more sleeping than debugging during the past days.

Status so far:

- VPN requirements should be fixed as far as needed to be working (thanx to Crusoe86)

- Removed all additional apps from system image, will be added as packages so the user can remove it more easily like any other regular installed app

- APN problem with T-Mobile APNs should be fixed

- Calendar added to BASIC build

- FM Radio added to BASIC build

- Latest official kernel added

Complete release will follow within this week.

It is my main concern with the build as well but i think that it is because of the kernel and cant be fixed yet. Current versions of the kernel are simply not supporting standby and the phone is actually constantly on.

However my hd2 lasts for a day at most on winmob with heavy syncing and android lasts for 15 hours so it is the same for me ... afterall we have to get some sleep :)
