Latest zImage

First, I want to say that this is my favorite build of Android for the HD2. The sense version that is used is very nice, and it's great to be able to get the extra HTC Widgets.

The only annoyances that I have found is that this does not have a English (US) language option, and when using things like TurboTax monetary values appear as GBP. The other is the screen locking during received calls (resulting in loss of communication on both ends of the call), outbound never has this problem.

Anyhow, my question is has anyone been able to merge the latest zImage with this build or can we expect a new version in the next few days?

Thank you again for this Sense build, and all of your hard work.

English (US) language option

Use MoreLocale 2 from the Android Marketplace.

Hoping our next build will bring usb tethering and 720p video like shubcrafts
[HD2 Android SD Development] dipaolnv:
I downloaded DarkStone's HD2Froyo V2 and lifted the zImage that was included with that build (DarkStone's zImage 2.6.32.9 #35) for use with FroyoStone v1 Sense. Works like a champ! I'm pretty sure that DarkStone mentioned that he was going to be working on updating FroyoStone now that HD2Froyo had been released. I don't think he mentioned timing.

DarkStone... btw, thanks for your hard work, very much appreciated! Your android builds are the best!

This is my fav Android build for hd2! Hope the next update will fix the heating issue I have when using the phone for a long period of time... Everything else im happy with! :D

Why doesn't the web browser on the new version have an option to disable mobile web pages? I hate the crippled versions of pages it forces me to use.

Mine has it, where are you looking?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Thanatospy:
Amazing performance on this release, using it 10 days so far without problems, im just waiting for the nand version and the small fixes (gps camcoder etc) you allready know, thx darkstone!

Can someone try playing back a video on the engaged app as it says it cannot play on mine and wondered if its to do with this build.

[HD2 Android SD Development] xxJAYELxx:
Same problems/observations here, mainly USB. Im running the Sense build and its SOLID. My battery life is like a normal phone, and that was my biggest issue.

Completely happy with this.

Stop paying all the attention to the clean froyo series and give us an update please :( man I feel like a child at Christmas I've been eagerly awaiting this update for so long!

Keep it up dark stone can't wait for version two
[HD2 Android SD Development] naeem151287:
+1. This is the best Sense build. Looking forwarding to v2.
[HD2 Android SD Development] imakul8:
Yet again, once auto rotation is disabled, is there a way to manually rotate it?

Great! Thanks you. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] DarkStone1337:
Now now, I can't please everyone at the same time it seems :P

You'll get FroyoStone v2, but I can't say when :)

It'll come when it comes.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Knucklessg1:
I am super confused, so this isn't froyostone v2?

http://gamesquare.co.uk/froyo.html

It is made by darkstone, and it is froyo, doesn't that make it froyostone?

no its not the same thats hd2 froyo(clean )...and this is another threat called froyostone(sense/clean)...

Touch Screen Times Out

My Froyostone rom has been working great for a couple of weeks now. I love it! but one thing i still need to figure out is why the touch screen times out. I mean the screen would be on, but it will not respond to any touches. this will occur for like 15 seconds or so. Sometimes i will have to turn the screen off and then back on in order for the touch screen to respond.

Anyone else having the same issue? any help is much appreciated.

thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] fuzzysig:
i have the screen issue but it didnt bother me that much, mine only times out for few seconds.

everything else is pretty damn stable :)

when I was using MicroSD card class 2, it happened to me quite a bit. since I switched to class 6, it happens quite rare these days.
[HD2 Android SD Development] naps1saps:
Try out the shubCRAFT build. It's based on Caynogen Mod 6. You can get the link from my forum below. It has all of the features of the FroyoStone build but seems to perform better. They just released an updated version yesterday with keypad led support.
[HD2 Android SD Development] vanyean1:
I did some research and i found that if you switch back to windows, and go into settings then system then G-Sensor. You gotta calibrate it and then restart back to android. Its working for me so far. So i hope that helps.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cavemaneca:
Hd2froyo not froyostone. And I've had the same problem in multiple builds.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Showtime7:
What is the normal boot time for first use? I am just wondering because I had something come up "failed to mount the SD card, cannot continue" and now for the past 30 minutes or so it has been compiling a list... Does it normally take this long on first boot? My only experience is with my TP2 and builds on that would load in 5 minutes so this is odd. Do I need to format and try again??

EDIT: Took a guess and stopped installation to format. The format seemed to clear this issue up... Hope all goes smooth from here on out. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] sident1972:
Thanks for this I have tried three others and whilst ok no where near as good as yours. I can confirm that the BT works but not with head sets, I tried it on my Parrot car kit and whilst it paired with the device and connected to the phone book and dialled the number it was unable to use the speakers and mic. Keep up the good work as I can't wait till all the features are working.

Cheers
[HD2 Android SD Development] Showtime7:
I am really stunned at how fast Android development has gone for the HD2. I don't think it's developed this fast for any other device. I've followed the Vogue and TP2 and judging by the rate of development on those devices, I almost had no hope of a working build in the next year. But here we are, not even a year into the release and already we have 90% of what we need fully functioning. I don't know if it's stable enough for daily use, but it sure is getting there quickly. I was ready to sell my HD2, but now I am almost sure I'm not ready to let it go. Who knows, maybe WP7 will even be in development for the HD2 sometime soon. I bought an Espresso to try Android out, and honestly Android on my HD2 is nearly as fast. I may end up selling the Espresso, lol. XDA is great.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Hojlind:
I personally use it as my daily driver :) and it does just around all i need, the screenfreeze is annoying though :/, normally i only need to boot into windows mobile when i have to use wifi tethering
[HD2 Android SD Development] Shushunmire:
Unfortunately, I am not able to use wifi for some strange reason. I figured it was just a problem that had not yet been sorted, but I see a lot of people are talking about using Wifi networks.

I have the latest zImage, using this build. Wifi just sits there and says "Error". Any ideas?
[HD2 Android SD Development] majorplayer88:
I actually had the same problem and it seems to be a common problem if you search. The solution for me was to boot into Windows and let it charge to 100% and then boot into Android with the charger still plugged in. This should show up as 100%, and anytime after that if you charge it in Android it should go all the way to 100%
[HD2 Android SD Development] Maroon:
The solution is described here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7648106&postcount=1355

It seems that it's important that you get the zImage and the bcm4329.ko files from the same version/release. At least I discovered this when I tried to use the latest zImage and a older version of bcm4329.ko I had laying around.

Some people want a great Sense version

Although this build looks nice, it does not provide all the bells and whistles that some of us want. I am a fan of HTC hardware, and I actually like sense. Darkstone was able to get a better version of sense, and personally I don't want anything without it. I also frequently use the built in FM tuner and it seems that only the Sense versions have the necessary software.
[HD2 Android SD Development] zoth:
I think it's because the HD2 is simply still one of the best hardware around. My 2 cents.
[HD2 Android SD Development] McG1:
Agreed! Simply the BEST phone - hardware wise. Imagine if it officially came with Android! But at least we have Darkstone which is the next best thing. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] carhigh:
Id rather be the way it is. We have choice and many options. I dont boot into windows much anymore, but its nice if you want to play. You can play 2 ways!

I am waiting for the update to the clean version :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Ramzidk:
Thats because the battery percentage max is the one that you left Windows Mobile with. I don't know if its actually charged 100 % and just shows 88 %, but i always charge it 100 % in Windows Mobile before i boot into Android, that way it will also charge 100 % in Android.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Showtime7:
I agree, as far as hardware goes I don't think many phones can compare to what the hd2 has to offer. And its always nice to have the option of Windows... I don't think Windows mobile is (or ever will be) in development for the evo so I think the hd2 has 1 up on evo... just my personal opinion of course.

But anyway I just wanted to say thanks to all the Android developers here... you guys are awesome.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jae-v:
that version isn't in the froyostone line

Keyboard doesn't work in landscape mode apparently, i got lost last night and i use the voice option to navigate me to a nearby mall and found my way home! Would love to have the mic on my keyboard for quick txting if anyone knows shout it out
[HD2 Android SD Development] noellenchris:
anyway to get the updated bluetooth drivers from other builds to work on this build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Maroon:
Any progress?

EDIT: Ignore this post. I've completely missed his post from yesterday.

-----------------------------

Sorry for asking, just wondering if there WILL be a new Sense build? Been quite silent from Mr Darkstone on this forum.

Just need a little sign from someone to calm down our worried souls... ;)

(PS, I know he said he's working on it and he didn't want to give any ETA yet - but that's many days ago)
[HD2 Android SD Development] stony007_de:
RESPECT!!! Super Port!

But i got one massive Problem with the bluetooth and the communication with my headset/Bluetooth-Car-Environment.

The text in the readme say: "Bluetooth Headset now supported in calls, press the Bluetooth option during the call twice, one time to disable the headset, and the second time to re-enable. After this, bluetooth headset functions."

Is there a workaround to fix it? because its very awkward to do this any time i am enter my car!

by default, the connection will established but i cant hear any think. not in mobilephone and not in car speakers...

Any body got the same issue?

How to fix it, or are there new bluetooth drivers for the android?

Hi

Just a quick and simple question may be someone can help.

Any idea when the desire sense build is due??

having had the plesure of playing with both sensed and stock foryo thanks to "DARKSTONE" i think i am turning towards the sensed desire build over the nexus 1 :S

plus am i right is thinkin that the desire roms are alot better then the nexus 1's? for 1 the graphics look alot better to me.

any input will be appreciated.

EDIT: im not even asking for possible release date, just a confirmation that a desire sense froyo build is being worked on,

any body??

beta testers??

The Man Darkstone himself???
[HD2 Android SD Development] FreakyFerret:
DarkStone has said he's working on with and withou Sense builds. He's also state in the past he prefers Sense over NoSense. So I'd say you can relax in that department. :)

As for when, no clue.

2 & 3 seem to be a lot better in the later kernel releases.

You can download autobuilds of the latest kernels at here BUT be aware that you will need to update your statrtup.txt and go through some steps to get wifi working again. Before you do anything, I'd advise searching the forum for instructions on how to do this!
[HD2 Android SD Development] jer0en72:
After a few tries I got it working and OMFG is this great or what! Thanks to all the people who have worked hard at this. Don't know about battery life and other stuff but will be testing a lot in the coming days. To be on the safe side I used every ROM, radio etc. that Darkstone used...

Android on the HD2, do smartphones get better than that?

BTW; I don't want to come off as ungreatfull (it seems that there are a lot of people like that on these forums) but does anyone know when we will be able to completely replace WM with Android (no more booting from SD and so on)?
[HD2 Android SD Development] fuzzysig:
i think it would be best to integrate both winmo and android into one system and make a cooked rom that installs both systems.

install the critical system files on the phone and the rest on the memory card...

btw im going back to this build.

i tested the HDfroyo and it seems to have more problems than this build

at least this one was more stable as far as battery life and freezing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] corlygunnz:
I wouldn't mind having android as the only OS on my phone, as long as is really stable. As far as android rom goes, I find this one to be the best one out there right now. Very stable and battery is good when using setcpu app.
[HD2 Android SD Development] s0leFUNK:
I have the exact same problem. Stock battery = no problem booting, Extended battery = phone turns off as soon as Android reaches the lockscreen.

Please investigate if you have the time. The extra juice from the extended battery would help with the battery drain..
[HD2 Android SD Development] corlygunnz:
I'm planning to get the extended battery, so keep me update with this issue please...
[HD2 Android SD Development] eenbox:
setcpu APP - qucik question on this.

I have this build and find it very stable and easily can run it as my primary OS on my HD2. Only problem I have is battery bleeds out after one day (not day and night but only day) - charged overnight (only up to 96%) then goes to like 10% by the evening - tried turning off automatic updates and stuff but it did not help.

What does setcpu App does to help this issue with battery?

Thanks much!

Is it possible to reset the battery stats in this android build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Maroon:
General HW

First off, Android on HD2 is soooo good! Thanks to all the Wizards making this possible for us!

Android has now become my primary OS on my phone. Actually, whenever I boot into WinMo I feel totally lost! Why doesn't the Win-button open a contextual menu?!? Why doesn't the back-button predictable take me to the last application/screen?!? Where is the market?!? Where is all the good stuff?!? :)

Anyway, there are still some issues (already mentioned a zillion times here and in other forums) that seems to be not 100%:

- GPS (yes, they say it work - but is it only for me it's sooo slow? I've tried to find a A-GPS software that can update the satellite positions, but hasn't succeeded yet)

- Compass (known issue, but solving this would really be the last issue that would shut up my friend with his iPhone running Layar and GeoCache...)

I know the priorities for people are different. I will not claim that my issues are more important than others. Just hope someone will manage to fix the above issues. Then there will at least be 1 happy Androholic on earth!

Sincerely,

Cato

Settings reset all the time

First off, this is a great build. I have been using it since it came out and seems to be the most stable version I have tested. The only problem I am running into is everytime I hit the end key, reboot, or a program crashes (which is very rare for a program to crash) all program settings reset ie. advanced task manager, any widgets I am running... I was just wondering if anyone else is having simular problems? I have been searching for a couple of days now and I've tried a couple of thing with no luck. other than having to spend about 30 secounds every once in awhile replying my settings, everything works great.

I am eagerly awaiting V2. Because of my impatient side I've been tempted to try some of the other builds while I wait (Cyanogen) but to me this is the best build.

It it so amazing to me how quickly all of the developers have been able to not only get Android running on the HD2 but also make it stable enough for my daily needs. I remember being so disappointed after reading a post back in May saying it would be years at best before we'd see a build stable enough for regular use...

Keep up the great work and thanks for being so helpful when noobs like me need assistance.
[HD2 Android SD Development] T.C.:
I have been using froyostone V1 since its release and i have only had 1 crash. no other issues.

I have also been using it all day every day. I can't wait till V2.

I noticed some people say they have a wifi issue. But i haven't been able to replicate that. I did notice that sometimes you have to go INTO settings and turn wifi on because the widget reports an error. but other than that wifi works perfectly.

Well here is my story: I find this A-OS the most stable out of 4 I have tried. Everything works with one huge exception and that is that battery does not last the same as with WinMo - I assume that will get better as we go along, but overall everything works and I had no problem using Froyo as my primary OS for full 3 days. Battery charging is the only reason why I do not use it yet on full time basis... keep up the good work guys - can't wait until v2 is out
