Is there a way yet for the hang up/power button to end a call?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
Just a heads-up for Xcelsior users - it doesn't come with a flashlight app and I discovered it doesn't need one. If you install the SwitchPro app and select Flashlight for one of the buttons...I use a seperate single transparent background button...and go into Other Options and check the "Use Camera Flash" box, it will activate the camera flash as a flashlight and it works better than an app. It turns the LED on immediately rather than booting an app and tapping two times for the light.

Outstanding! Purely outstanding Android build.

This may well work in the other Android builds as well, but I haven't tried them yet.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
Thanks, donations very appreciated. As some might have read on twitter my touch is never touching again.

I am getting my new HD2 this evening, so donations are invested directly into development equipment :D

Look at the original HTC Desire, it doesnt have a hang up button either.

So i think there might not be such functionality. Is anyone aware of other builds for HD2 that support this feature? It's an issue I recognized before.

Will try this too as soon as I have my new hardware. If it does a good work I will add it into the build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Psygnosis84:
You can hang up with the power button on the nexus builds but not on sense builds for some reason.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xanion:
Did anyone else have spontaneous reboots with this ROM? In the last 2 days my phone rebooted 3 times. (which is really scary as it boots then into Windows Mobile :))

Could it be that there is a problem because I took over the settings from my old version? Maybe it's better to configure it again?

Will try on next version of the ROM, was coming this night or so?

Question here!

Why can't i copy and paste in this build with Astro filemanager & ES FileExplorer??

Thnx in advance!

No birthdays HTC Calender widget.

Hi there,

I have birthdays of friends and family in my (Google)agenda as a all day appointment, in my HTC calendar the birthdays are visible, but not in the small HTC calender widget on my homescreen!?

The small widget does show the the birthdays/appoitments the day before, but not on the day it's self?

How can i fix this?

Thnx in advance!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
Yeah, had a little delay due to touch screen not touching anymore (never again). Will get my new HD2 in a couple of hours.

Then I will check what I have done without hardware so far.

I think thats because they don't support root access. You will have to have a rooted image AND a filemanager which is capable of this feature (I think capable of switching users to use root instead of normal user rights).

Will have a look into this.

STatus of the new release

As some of you might have noticed through twitter I damaged my HD2 and rendered it useless.

I already have a new one and will continue with the build tomorrow.

Plan is to have a semi-fixed version (basic sounds in build rather than SDCARD and Superuser app working) by tomorrow (Thursday evening German timezone) and having a build that is more updated the day after or at the weekend.

It's now after 3 in the morning in Germany, my HD2 runs Android again and now it's time to make that thing standing in the bedroom having a use.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tordek:
i can't wait ffs... This is by far the most stable and smooth build i tried :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 11calcal:
Hope your new hd² is workin ok. Give is a new build when you've got chance I do like aspects of yours and I think its a quite stable build.

Thanx ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] w0LfNiNja:
agreed, nice and stable. this has found a perma spot on my sdcard for now. i like sense and missed that on shub's build... even thou i found alternatives for most of the sense apps i like so much.

keep up the GREAT work! btw, what happened to your HD2? heh
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnlebaron:
Thank you for this great build. It seems to have the least amount of screen freezes (when the touch screen stops working). Most everything works and it is also fairly fast.

Looking forward to even better. It would be great to get the WiFi hotspot working but Android on my HD2 makes it a phone (and not a WinMo brick) that is worth using (I hate WinMo).

Thanks again

battery life

last night i lost 20% of battery, although wifi and data was switched off and running apps were killed with advanced task killer.

how about your battery life with this build? anybody using setcpu?

btw, i've installed lots of apps, maybe there could be the reason... but it's too nice to search apps in the market :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] b4lduin:
For me its the best Android build for hd2 i have used so far. Because it's the only one where I didn't have touchscreen freezes ....

Battery usage is for me 0.75-1% per Hour in Standby with only one or two apps installed and SetCPU.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
R.I.P. my 1st HD2 => maybe Zombie with new touch and LCD ?

Let me say, if you try to open/repair something that seems easy as the plastic over the flashlight keep two things in mind:

- Do NOT use a screwdriver for getting the touch and LCD out of the rest

- Do NOT pull on the touchscreen (the plastik screen before the actual LCD)

This touch screen is touching never again!

New HD2 is running well, already flashed and everything else done. So back to dev.

I have the feel that the new touch is a lot more responsive than the old one, can someone agree to that?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
I reckon mine is about 2 to 4 % an hour (when not being used) and that is with advanced task killer and juicedefender.

I turn mine off at night and charge.

Xcelsior, can you add the cpu scaling stuff and kernel updates that is going into other builds?

Also can you swap the flashlight app for the nexus one version I mentioned before?

I like sense and I like your build, I would prefer to stick with it (or learn to cook :)

John
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DocteurN:
I'm using SetCPU with a ScreenOff Profiles (245 MHz) and I'm about 1% per hour during night with AirPlane mode (No Data and No WiFi)

During the day with 3G Data ON it's around 3-4 % per jour in Idle.

All this results are obtained when I kill 'Advanced Task Manager' that comes with Xcelsior's Kitchen. If I don't kill it my battery drains a lot more faster (around 2-3% per hour during night for example)

Have you noticed that too ?

By the way : is there a way to uninstall 'Advanced Task Killer Free' ? Cause I can't do it through Settings > Applications :(

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
I just reverted back to Xcelsior after a run with the latest shubCRAFT. shub is great and all and ranks at the top, but it isn't as smooth or stable as Xcelsior.

Also just installed setCPU and APN-On/Off. Maybe they will help make this Xcelsior build the supreme ruler of of all things Android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dornstar:
Testing my battery life and it's been off the charger since 12:14am yesterday. It's now 3:55am, so nearly 28 hours later and I am at 45% battery life.... and that's with running the Vibrant's Ocean Waves live wallpaper.

My only issues are...

1. Can't hang up the call with the hard end button. Have to use the touchscreen button to end.

2. My volume is a little low.

3. Sometimes when I pull down the lock screen to access the phone, but bottom half of my wallpaper is missing. It's just black where the lock screen slide to unlock thing was at.

Outside of those three which aren't major issues, this build has been amazing. I haven't restarted my phone or gone back to WinMo since the first time I loaded this up.

WELL DONE!

new version

Xcelsior I just love your build. I'm using it for 3 days non stop now and it is really fantastic! It freezes for a few second here and there and the volume of the incoming calls is very very low but other than that is just awesome ! Havent seen win mob for a while :)

I cant wait more for a newer version with better volume of the incoming calls may be or wifi tethering or 5mp camera ... sweet dreams :) - please xcelsior dont make us beg :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] phatsua:
@ragelord, are you using the basic build or the sense one ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ragelord:
sense version :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Psygnosis84:
Not to sound mean or anything but if you want your builds to be used by more and more people then you need to release them as quick as the other builders. You mentioned Thursday but now its past that date with no release.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
Yeah yeah yeah, and if you want to have a stable and tested build then you will have to wait for it.

I have decided to take my time and to leave this thread alone, no reading, no posting, just spending my whole time to investigate the "Superuser Permissions" problem which, by the way, until now has not been solved in mattc build if even noticed from the posts in the builds thread.

I don't want to make you beg for new versions as said some posts ago but investigation of some problems is not really easy.

By the way as I haven't done a new release on thursday i said to my myself to make a release with at least ringtones and other sounds in image fixed.

I have canceled this plan as I had the feel to get it to work completely today.

It's now 4 in the night, time to go to bed.

Plans are to ake the new release in somewhat 5 hours from now including ringtones fixed and Superuser Whitelist app working.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pandnaka:
Take your time man!! Just ignore what other think, if they don't like it there whole bunch of other build to try.

:p;):D:):cool:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vilcretswat:
Completely second that! True, some builders take out builds faster but with no "true" results. Take your time and get it right the first time. Great Job Xceislor! Your build regardless that it is a week old is still the best one I have.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dornstar:
Yes, 3G was on the entire time. I never turn it off on any of my phones. I'm also using the Vibrant's Ocean Waves live wallpaper as well. My WM ROM is Kumar's "Reference" (TMOUS) with Radio 2.12.50.02.2. The only modification I've done is BSB Tweak's Power Saving mode. I got just shy of 40 hours on the charge with no charging or even trickle charge. I took it off the charger 12:14am on what would be Thursday morning and it died at 3:57 Friday afternoon, so I guess that would be 39 hours and 43 minutes on the single battery charge.

I'm doing another battery test with GPS on and the phone booted up at 3:59pm after replacing the battery and I'm now at 27% at 4:08, so I've used 73% after just over 12 hours. This battery usually doesn't last quite as long as the other does though.

Also, it's worth noting that I really focused on conditioning my batteries from the start. I have 3 batteries and cycled them out since I got the phone. I don't trickle charge or plug in. When one battery gets down to 10%, I rotate another in, so in general, I get better battery life than most users. I'm kind of anal about my batteries if you can't tell. lol.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dornstar:
I agree 100% as well. I am so impressed with Xcelsior's work. It may be marginally slower than some of the others (Quadrant average is right around 1300) , but the stability is amazing. I haven't had any force closes or major issues at all and that's something I can't say about my G1 or even my EVO.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dornstar:
I'm with you on the volume. It's not a fatal flaw, but something that I would like to see fixed as well. In a noisy environment, it becomes an issue. My talk volume is low as well.

@Xcelsior

Is there any chance you could tell us how to fix Superuser Whitelist app in v1? Would save me updating the system ext2 file ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pi_mento:
http://download.xcelsior.info/ seems te be down?.....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LondonTownGuy:
This is a very smooth running ROM congrats.

The ringtones etc, are already there but they have been placed in a system-media-sounds. sub folder they simply need to be moved directly into the media folder. The CHMOD needs to be changed to 777 for system and files instead of 755 and you need to unmount the system first, this may be also causing some superuser problems.

I always up the sound level in windows and this seems to help android for me. HCKU-Control panel-sound categories- init volume, change to 10.

Take your time Xcelsior, not much happening with the kernel lately anyway =) I´m getting better and better battery life with your build, don´t know why but I´m not complaining =D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
In general:

- Connect thru adb

- Delete old Superuser app and /system/bin/su and /system/xbin/su

- Use ChainsDD Superuser Whitelist app

- push su to /system/xbin/su

- do a ln -s /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su to create a symbolic link

- chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su

- adb install the new Superuser APK

It's not down, simply needs a little longer to connect the first time.

is there something new and or different in 1.00a except for the superuser privileges and system audio sounds?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
Same as in 1.0, no changes since then, but I am trying out different camera apps as I am not really happy with the included one.

No, as I am trying to keep the BASIC build as clean as possible.

I will think of a method to let the user choose whether they want to have this or not. *Added to wishlist*

As the first post says I will try to add the calendar to the BASIC build in the next version.

However V1.00a is a fixed version of the previous release.

The next version number will most likely have the calendar attached.

*Added to list of investigations*

Done.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
Only new revision according to the following naming convention:

1.00 = Full version

1.00a = Fix for this numbered version, no new features

1.01 = New full version including fixes and changed features

So, nothing really new in this "fix".
