but 3G data conn. works with nrgz lite wm-rom.

strange.:confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bonobow:
The way to put things on your sd card is by dropbox.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hashnon:
If you just want standart Android lock screen you can simply delete file in /system/app/HtcLockScreen.apk and backup it first.

And no need for any additional apps and whistles.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mmorisa:
Bonobow,

besides using dropbox, you can also transfer file to your SDCard usinf bluetooh transfee. I've been using this many times already.

after transfer, use any file explorer/manager from the market (freely available) and browse to the "downloads/bluetooh" folder.

all the files transferred via bluetooh will be there.

regards,

morisa

sms undelivered

Hi, I hope this hasnt been covered already, if it has...then sorry for being a pain...

When I try to send a text msg it takes around about 5 attempts on occasions to actually send the text...all the other times it just says that the msg couldnt be sent...

Keep up the amazing work dude!
[HD2 Android SD Development] mayouranj_88:
Also, about the putting things in dropbox...how do you access stuff that you have saved from your dropbox?
[HD2 Android SD Development] JWhipple:
Someone with HD2 and Vibrant please answer this!

I have a Vibrant but have had an HD2 in the past. There are some things about the HD2 that I miss though!

That having been said, my Vibrant scores 864 on Quadrant, but we all know that real-life results may not neccessarily be reflected by benchmarks!

So, can anyone here tell me how does the Vibrant's day to day operation speeds compare with this FroyoStone build? I have the chance to get a brand new HD2 swap with my Vibrant and I'm half-way considering it so that I could have both WinMo and Android at the same time!

Thanks!

I have had this issue also.
[HD2 Android SD Development] pda_crazy:
Hi, I am also in same boat. Did you find the solution to map end button to disconnect call.

I am also using Sense build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] z_rudy:
Yeah I guess no one knows what to do with it :P
[HD2 Android SD Development] Sheraz150:
Yup this worked perfectly, thanks. When's the new version of this rom coming out?
[HD2 Android SD Development] imatrix:
the new version isnt far away I guess, I think darkstone is having some users testing the bluetooth function.
[HD2 Android SD Development] eenbox:
I think Im gonna have to re-fromat my sd card, and get it back on - the only thing is my card is loaded with stuff so I am not sure if I can clone it somehow...

I booted Froyo 2.2 once (august version) and after that it won't boot reporting that I have to unpack rootfs - but everything is on root of my sd card... gotta try again...

Other than that - I think froyo did a lot in sense of Android - can't wait until I get it to work...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Shawn_230:
This is the only Android ROM I've tried so I don't know if it's specific to this one, but anyone else notice some real bad colour banding issues?

I know 16M colours hasn't been unlocked yet and possibly might never be, but banding is much worse in Android than WM even as far as I can tell.

Sorry if this has been brought up, just wondering what the status is on that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] markerichanson:
I had that problem. Read the readme carefully. You can't unpack the build onto the SD card root or it doesn't work. You have to put it in a folder called "Android". Once I did that, it works wonderfully.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
These builds are as fast as a stock vibrant however a rooted vibrant with ramdisk mod is faster (scores 2500+ in quadrant) also the gpu in the vibrant is around 3x better(hence the quadrant score) so if you use a lot of 3d intensive apps i would recomend sticking to the vibrant, if not then you should go for it :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] uniqs:
This build works excellent for me, excluding strange WiFi behavior on boot - WiFi cannot connect neither secured network at my work nor unsecured at home and shows "error" status in Settings page after system is booted. However when I retry to connect to WiFi manually it connects immediately without any problem. I use ROM Miri v17 and Radio 2.12.

Does somebody know why it happens? Thanks in advance for your help.
[HD2 Android SD Development] eenbox:
I am using Tmobile US Stock ROM and phone is still GSM locked to the carrier - I have got my hands on FroyoStone Sense and I am running it without the problems.

I have set everything to my likings and am now running froyo as my primary OS :)

GO ANDROID (on my HD2) :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] pw1388:
When I turn my screen off to standby mode. the phone seems to freeze up so I cant not go back to my phone since the screen is just blank. I have to wait a couple of mins to get the phone working again. Is anyone else having this issue?

If I'm lucky I can manage a whole day, which is a bit sad :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] relic:
After more than 15min I can't seem to pass "jumping to Kernel" when installing Android. Even after formatting the SD card.

There's alot of suggestions on the forum but noone is giving a clear answer, it's very confusing.

Does anyone know if this issue is common and what would be the cause of it?

I followed the instructions on Froyostone page to the letter. Not sure I missed anything.

Appreciate the help!
[HD2 Android SD Development] mattfmartin:
Your startup.txt is messed up.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mattfmartin:
Also, is your stuff in an android folder
[HD2 Android SD Development] relic:
I tried the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7632459&postcount=8531

But after Jumping to Kernel the screen becomes completely black and it hangs.

What do you think is the solution?
[HD2 Android SD Development] prudviraj:
Hey Naeem,

I typed your commands thru terminal emulator but still couldnt get my WIFI working.. it hits Error
[HD2 Android SD Development] krook6023:
This works great...nice work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Segnaro:
I think wi-fi works at startup if you disable it in Windows Mobile.
[HD2 Android SD Development] zoth:
It's a known issue but it's not a couple min. believe me. But it sure feels like it. It's about 10-15 sec. tops for me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uniqs:
Good catch! Disabling WiFi in WM indeed solves the problem. Thank you very much!
[HD2 Android SD Development] mattfmartin:
Hey relic that is the right startup.txt but at the bottom were it says boot. Change that to bootlinux. That should fix it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Ashrak_22:
WM doesn't have that much banding because it is natively 65k OS, but as Android has 16M colours you will experience much more banding on 65k screen such as the HD2 has (therefore there will be no 16M unlocking)
[HD2 Android SD Development] vexus:
This is probably just me being a retard, but how long is it supposed take to install after clicking the haRET file? It seems it's taking forever after the 8th line (where it says "Jumping to kernel")
[HD2 Android SD Development] z_rudy:
Your startup.txt is bad, not pointing to the relative path of Android. Check your downloaded package, did you modify anything, installed a newer kernel by yourself? Try formatting your SD card and retrying :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Apache0c:
Thank you for all your hard work

Darkstone1337, thank you sir for your diligent efforts in releasing new builds. They are much appreciated.

I'm now running your FroyoStone-Aug7-Clean rom for 24/7 use. The battery usage is fantastic! It uses less power than WM and even running from the SD card, this rom is faster and more responsive than WM. I've never been able to get this phone to run an entire day without charging on any OS/rom but this is as close as I've come so far so I'm excited for the future of Android on the HD2.

I've tested about 5 or 6 different rom builds for the HD2 1024 and this is the first one that I've been able to get almost everything working. Everything that I need for day to day usage and to switch away from WM anyway. Of course I'm still excited for further developments and watching every day for developments too though :-)

For anyone that is having the blank screen issue, kind of like an sod but where the phone is alive and the display is on, it just stays blank after going to sleep. I had this too and was not able to get it to wake up without pulling the battery but I have since realized that I have to unmount and remount the SD card from within Android twice every time after I install applications before I let the phone sleep and it prevents the issue from happening. DarkStone mentions this in the readme txt and I've found that doing it twice after installs before the phone is put to sleep completely eliminates any problems.

Very small price to pay for daily use of android on a phone that wasnt designed for it. And it takes less than a minute. Heck, even WM freezes on me but FroyoStone-Aug7-Clean doesnt!
[HD2 Android SD Development] imakul8:
Guys, please suggest me Memmaid-like apps for Android. Thanks.

I am pretty sure the only thing your gonna find is a cache cleaning app. Check out CacheMate and I think there is even one called Cache Cleaner.
[HD2 Android SD Development] velcrobandits:
used this build for a while. 3-4 days in, screen locking up became a chronic issue ie every 2-3 min making it completely unusable. mattc's sense build is faster (unfortunately, im a huge darkstone fan) but I got the same issue within a few days. Had to switch back to darkstone cotulla. Anyone have any luck with ameliorating the screen lock at least a little?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Shawn_230:
That sucks that the banding is even worse than in Windows Mobile... thanks for the reply though, at least now I know why.

So does the EVO 4G have really bad colour banding as well? Since that also only has a 65k colour screen.
[HD2 Android SD Development] imakul8:
You did, you did, but thanks for the suggestions. Trying CacheMate now.:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] reymunoz:
Im very excited about using android on my htc hd2...and when this works, it is outstanding...the only problem,besides the small MMS messages,is that after I turn my phone on and off, for whatever and load it back on, it will work for about ten-twenty mintutes before i get a black screen when I try to wake it up. The green LED is still flashing but nothing pops up on the screen...this has happened with two ROMS, the MIRI one recommended and the Elegencia version as well. ANy ideas on how to get around this because I would really like to use it as my primary OS on HTC HD2. Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] relic:
still getting the same result. It just hangs on jumping to Kernel...

I am really not sure what I am doing wrong, I am following everything to the letter. Am I suppose to run a certain version of winmo?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Dblfstr:
Did you try this???

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

Editing startup.txt

1) The following lines are needed in startup.txt to make GIT kernels work in any build !

set mtype 2524

set ramaddr 0x11800000

set ramsize 0x1E400000

set initrd_offset 0x00a00000

set kernel zImage

<ADDITIONAL PARAMTERS GO HERE!!!!!!!!1 Remove this line.>

bootlinux

2)Additionally you need to specify the following. Those parameters are dependent on the build you use. Look them up in your present startup.txt

*Initial ram disk filename (set initrd initrd.gz)

*Command line paramters (set cmdline "foo=bar google=android" )

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

Keep in mind that this is for the full ram kernal, also the most up-to-date

Post your current startup.txt so we can have a look:

Also list the build you are using and the actual zImage that you have. Maybe there is a slight typo or something.

Here is what mine looks like, but keep in mind the kernal version and build I am using. (noted in my sig)

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

set mtype 2524

set ramaddr 0x20000000

set ramsize 0x0fc00000

set initrd_offset 0x00a00000

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "lpj=638976"

boot

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[HD2 Android SD Development] relic:
I had this in my txt and used the zImage provided by here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7632459&postcount=8531

set mtype 2524

set ramaddr 0x18000000

set ramsize 0x0fc00000

set initrd_offset 0x00a00000

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "rel_path=Android"

bootlinux

my root folder is "Android"
[HD2 Android SD Development] Dblfstr:
What is the date of your zImage, that is a dynamic link that directs you to the latest, so todays latest will not be the same as last week.

Is this the startup.txt that came with your build? If not, also post the original.

Also, are you using this Froyostone series? Or what build?

I see a typo though: (set ramaddr 0x18000000) should be( set ramaddr 0x11800000) and (set ramsize 0x0fc00000) should be (set ramsize 0x1E400000)

That is for the zImages with full ram ( we will know if you have this when you can provide the date of the zImage)
[HD2 Android SD Development] relic:
zImage date downloaded today from http://oe.netripper.com/files/htcleo_autobuild/zImage-htcleo-latest

The original startup.txt was as follows:

set mtype 2524

set ramaddr 0x18000000

set ramsize 0x0fc00000

set initrd_offset 0x00a00000

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline ""

boot

I am using the latest build from Froyostone sense:

FroyoStone Series - Version 1 (07-Aug-2010)

http://www.multiupload.com/OFQCVS1ZXR
[HD2 Android SD Development] Dblfstr:
Try this:

set mtype 2524

set ramaddr 0x11800000

set ramsize 0x1E400000

set initrd_offset 0x00a00000

set kernel zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline ""

bootlinux

If that doesn't work... o.O

change set cmdline to this: set cmdline "foo=bar google=android"

I didn't know if this was a joke by dcordes or what...
[HD2 Android SD Development] xxJAYELxx:
So far everything is good on my HD2 with this build. I cant understand so many people having so many problems. Im no phone guru, I did my first ROM update and android install on the same day, for the first time by following the directions posted.

The only problem I see is battery life, my guess is because its running off the SD card.

Eh...hope you all get it running smooth.
[HD2 Android SD Development] relic:
i get to Jumping to Kernel

Then text starts fading and I get black screen.

Is that normal?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Dblfstr:
I don't know about this... Maybe there should be a better guide here? Or someone with the same setup as you should post the startup.txt they have... someone...

Anyone using Froyostone (sense) V1 with the latest 8/14 zImage post your startup.txt
[HD2 Android SD Development] mattfmartin:
Try formatting your card. You said you got it to work last night. Just because it boots fine one night doesn't mean a file got messed up somewhere on the initial launch. Just start over the same way you did last night.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Dblfstr:
relic had it working last night?

Dang dude, I must have missed that! What is the deal then???

Also, do you currently use this setup? If so, please post your startup.txt anyway. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] relic:
no I think you're mistaking me with someone else.

I am formatting my card everytime I do this.

I never got it working so far.

I am sure something is missing or wrong but I am making sure to follow every instructions correctly.

I am puzzled why it is hanging after Jumping to Kernel

AHHHHA im on edge waiting for the next version of master darkstones series!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Dblfstr:
Did the txt in the pm not work? I don't know man. Do you just have to have sense?

If not, the stuff in my sig is very stable.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Dblfstr:
Can you post your startup.txt?
[HD2 Android SD Development] relic:
not necessarily

I even tried shubcrat version and I get the same problem, black screen after Jumping to Kernel

I am going to try the clean version now see if it works but i suspect it.

Something wrong with my startup.txt or zImage i dont know its pissing the hell out of me now

Update: clean version also same problem. After Jumping to Kernel it hangs
[HD2 Android SD Development] johnboatcat:
I will just get on my "High Horse" here again and suggest to

I will just get on my "High Horse" here again and suggest to some of you that you spend a few minutes of the hours you are wasting "mukking about" going into the User CP and putting your current phone set-up information in your sig. It is a simple WYSIWYG word processer. Also put what country you are from and what carrier you are on so the folks that are trying to help you have at least the basic information to base their answers on.

Otherwise is it is like getting a text message that says, "Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!", but we don't know where you are and what your situation is so we can come and help.

Take a few minutes to help those that are trying to help you have a chance to get your phone systems working. Look ar the sigs of the people that are here helping you. We were all here asking questions in the beginning.

Wait a minute. I still am!:)

for the most part this release is working well and boots up much faster

one issue I've founf though is that when connecting USB only charging is available.. I don't get the android splashscreen to enable mass storage and even in settings>Connect to PC when setting it to disk drive it also doesn't show on the computer as a removeable drive

only charging; this is in both the sense and clean builds and with a fresh formatted SD card

the old froyo from the 26th did have mass storage mode and it worked fine :confused:

The rom is the fastest Ive used so far and Ive tried them all... Unfortunately I am catching a hspa signal but the speed of the internet is slow. Its unbearable (probably close to edge speeds). Based on the fact that im rarely near a wifi spot I can't use this build. It sucks because I really really like it.

Thank for your hard work on this.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bangsters:
hi.

Nice build that's the first thing I can say!!! nice camera and camcorder app! although facebook htc is not included in the clean build, and installing facebook for android has some compatibility issues where the contact pictures (if linking facebook and using the fcebook contact image) do not show up. And when synced multiple times, the facebook contact multiplies as well, exampleL I have 130 facebook contacts, then after syncing , it shows 260, then 390 then so on)...

Also, the sense version gives me 1100 quadrant score while th clean version gives me 1200. however, it's still no 2 below the nexus 1 (and I'm using class 10 card).

wifi hotspot not working, which is expected. sdcard mounting not working although i thought it was supposed to be working.

anyhow, this is by far the best build.

Is there a way to delete the clock on the upper right of the taskbar, similar to the cyanogen build where the taskbar contents (battery and clock) can be modified? and can the pull down lock screen be copied to the clean build as well?

I can't complain on this build and it's very smooth. the sense build is so smooth it seems like the OS is the default OS of this phone.

nice job!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] gdog1977:
The full ram zImage does free up ram, not sure if it's as much as it should be. I'm using the clean sense and with the 384 kernel I had 178 free, now with the full z kernal I have 254. I did notice that I had more free ram running full sense with the 384 kernal vs clean sense. Haven't tried the new zImage with full sense. I've also noticed that full sense was smoking fast with app switching and transitions, where the clean sense is a fair bit slower. I'm going to now run full sense with the full ram zImage and see what I get.

you don't like the dialer? that is actually the only thing (or one of the few things) i like with the htc sense thing as it allows t9 searching. but then to each his own.
