my test results

I installed the V2 version and it's the first time I'm using Android on my HD2.

It's very nice and except some times it's slow, usually it's fast.

I have only some issues:

- I don't have any ringtone: when I have a incoming call, the phone is only vibrating.

- I was not able to set up an alarm at the time I wanted. Each time I set up for instance 8.30 am, the time remaine to the previous setting and my change was not saved

- In the quote widget, I was not able to add a new stock. It's failing to open the input setting panel. It's looking like a crash of the widget settings part.

Except that, I like this rom very much !

Thanks.

Well it's easier than that, really. You just need to remove the battery for like 30 seconds, then reboot Android. Next time you fully charge it, it will display 100%. No need to charge when in WinMo!

First time I installed android on my HD2. FroyoStone V2

Everything is working fine except that there are no led notifications for sms, email or missed calls etc.

Secondly the signals strength keeps on dropping to a straight line.

And lastly it takes couple of seconds to wake up from standby.

Overall great rom; thumbs up for the chef!

From the very first post "If you do not get any notifcation sounds, download this: http://gamesquare.co.uk/media.zip (COPY AND PASTE THIS LINK INTO YOUR WEB BROWSER, it won't work otherwise)

Extract the media folder to the Android folder on your SD card. Then boot android again and it should work "
[HD2 Android SD Development] creed:
Thanks! Made a lot more sense after reading that. Well I ended up having to start with an entirely fresh build of FroyoStone V2 to get these instructions to work and I had to use the command prompt. The apk of google maps 4.5 I had must have been corrupt because it would never install so I downloaded a fresh version from the market and.. Voila! It worked!

At last. Now I am very happy, this is the best build out there. A few screen freezes, no SOD's at all and I have said bye bye to WinMo. Battery life is acceptable for me. Only issues are slow GPS, even with GPSconf change and the poor 3G/HSDPA performance with frequent drop outs but that seems to be an Android wide problem on the HD2. And the last is not being able to sync with my outlook but hopefully this will be sorted out when hotmail upgrade my account to exchange on active sync. Still it would be nice if they'd include notes in the sync process but that's liveable.

Hello,

First I wanna thank Darkstone very much for this great release, excellent!

It's running very well on my HD2.

But I've 1 issue that I can't really understand.

Maybe this issue has been mentioned before, but I'm wondering why Android will not boot completely when installing the HTC extended High Capacity battery.

When Android started up, after 1 sec. the phone vibrates and then it totally shuts down.

With the 'stock' battery, Android is booting completly with no problems at all.

Matbe this is a known issue, but it took nearly 2 weeks to find this out...

Well, in any case, it's working fine yet, my complments to Darkstone!

updating google maps - using adb

You have got to be taking the ......!!! :confused:

Sometime I realise why I like windows (both desktop & mobile). Editing the registry may seem a bit daunting at times, especially for noobs, but it's a damn site more simple than this "adb" rubbish! :mad::p

Battery Life Change

I'm just wondering if anyone has had this problem. I've been running Darkstone's Android for a couple of weeks now as my main OS and have nothing but praise for him. Other than the delays in waking up from sleeo, its been pretty much flawless. Good riddance to winmo.

However, in the past couple of days I've started to have a batter life problem. I had prevously been able to use my phone for a day with one charge with ease, but in the last couple of days it's been a struggle just to get 12 hours out of it. I have not changed anything in the past couple of days, have setcpu all set up all the battery saving tips have been applied. I'm just confused as to what would have caused this. I seem to lose most of my charge when the phone is asleep. Syncing is turned off as well so I'm not sure what could be draining the battery in sleep mode. Any tips would be appreciated..

Once again, thank you Darkstone for your work, I think a donation is long overdue :)

hello, i have been experimenting and tried many different builds of android on my hd2 but this is by far the one i have stuck to but I just want to make a suggestion/request,

one build i tried had like twice as much ram which was really awesome and improved performance, there would always be like 300mb free while with this one i always have like 180mb free cant you possibly make it so it utilizes all the hd2's ram? that would be awesome!

Thanks for all the hard work darkstone. Just wondering though, why is the earpiece volume so low in this build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] niteowl360:
Someone posted recently, whilst in call, click on the speaker option, on and off, twice, and volume then becomes very loud in earpiece.

I can confirm this works.

2) i also having network issues, apparently my picture messages are being downgraded

[HD2 Android SD Development] VW_Factor:
Maybe once every other day, I come back to my phone and it has restarted. I've caught it a couple of times doing this. Seemingly for no reason..

At any rate, in the OP, about system crashes, it mentions that we may need to replace a file in this build for stability..

Which file is that, and what do we replace it with?

So far the only other thing I have experienced is the non responsive touch screen after a screen lock every so often. Simply just keep it awake a little long and it becomes responsive. I did not experience this, in the last build of the ROM. I have tried calibrating the GSensor in both WinMO and Droid, without success and disabling it seems to have no effect either (in both WinMO and Droid).

Excellent work however! I do very much enjoy the way this Android build works on my HD2. :)

Hello All,

I've a question about "System Software Updates" feature which is under the "About Phone" section in Settings. I've used Check Now" button and it's found an update then I started to download with Wifi. Now, I'm curious about it. Should I update or not? Do you have any idea? Does it effect working of this build? Thanks in advance.

Android automatically deletes my autorun.inf from the sd card. Is there any way to stop it doing so because this is really annoying?
[HD2 Android SD Development] anxxxious8701:
got a few questions to ask

first of all this is the best build by far. but i have a few questions to ask

1) is there a fix for gps?? it doesnt accurately pinpoint me. nor does any of the applications that use gps will use it.

2) my wifi shuts off whenever i put the phone in standby. is there a reason for that or is there a fix for it??

3) has anybody found a fix for sending mms yet?? i've gotten mixed results about this. but i've tried everything from different apns, to other methods and nothing seems to work. i can receive them but i cant send them. and if anybody got it to work please give me every detail as to how you do it from the custom rom, to radio version.

thanx for your help in advance

[HD2 Android SD Development] rahul9911:
sorry..I never tried MMS..never used it..so cant say if it works or not..
[HD2 Android SD Development] rahul9911:
I think the reason the extended battery wont work is because the current drivers are capable of supporting the stock battery. I had read somewhere that extended batteries wont work.. Lets hope there is an update to this soon. So looking forward to getting the extended battery myself and wana stick to android as well :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] rahul9911:
If your talking bout changing the Homescreen look,

You need to go to

Settings

Applications.

Manage Applications.

Under all applications, look for HTC Sense.

Select it,scroll down and you will see "Clear Defaults".

Then if u press the ''Home" key u will be prompted to choose the default Action.

Select Launcher(Froyo) or LauncherPro(download from market) and u should have it. u can check the "use by default" option so that it wont prompt u everytime u press the home key.

Follow the same steps to change back but this time, clear defaults on Launcher.

I recommend downloading LauncherPro from market place..It has the same Transparent look,very smooth,frees up alot of memory.

First of all, this is an amazing build. Kudos to you darkstone for making something this badass. I've been running it for about 9 hours and i've only encountered a couple of issues. I've trolled and haven't found any tips to resolve the issues that I'm having, thus I'm looking for some guidance. Everything works flawlessly until the phone goes to sleep or I lock the phone. If it's asleep for more than a few minutes it locks up and won't display anything on the screen. I have to remove the battery and reload android. I've flashed, reinstalled, and replaced the rootfs file to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HD2 Android SD Development] all_bets_off:
he's referring to the rootfs file in the android folder. On the OP there is a link to download that file and then all you do is replace it. I'm having the same screen lock issue that you're having it seems. If you keep it awake for a bit it becomes responsive again? I'm trying to figure out how to fix this...it is a great build though.
[HD2 Android SD Development] beto1967:
Excellent build, works like it should, fast and stable. I disabled the sense interface and the auto rotate no frees yet after 10 hours.

Better than v1 and that is a lot to say.

Thanks again darkstone.

Was using this build for a week or so rebooted phone and now it will boot top status bar is all there but stuck on white htc screen and getting error about failed com.lancher or awlancher or something like that and some failed sence messages as well. Woundering if there is a file or folder I can replace to mabye get things working without starting from scrach. Also I updated the hdfroyo darkstone build with 8/30 zimage got better data connection but lost overclock. Woundering if I can copy over zimage and patch from this build to hdfroyo, if it would be compatible or probly break it? Any sugestions would be helpfull
[HD2 Android SD Development] VW_Factor:
Yeah, using the hard keys just keep it awake for a bit longer. A most seems like maybe 10 seconds.. If not, end key to "sleep" again, rewake and try again.

Again, I did not experience this in the last build. SoD I had with the last build was fixed with getting a faster miniSD card. I really had no idea it was faster, but tried the different card, and watched Android begin booting like 3 times faster. Since that time, no more SoD.

Edit : Thanks for the clarification btw. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] htcyardie:
I just wanted to validate this setup. I have the exact combination of ROM, Radio, SD Card and of course, Android build. My phone would frequently go into the SOD while using the 2.10 radio.

I flashed my radio to 2.12.50.2 and so far, so good. I really hope it remains stable because I would like to use Android as my primary OS. Should I come across other issues I will post them here.

My data connections seems to be working really well. I am located in SW PA. I am curious to see how this radio behaves when I head back home to NY.

[HD2 Android SD Development] st40611:
The same question has been bugging me for awhile actually, because

Unless there is something said not on the first page, it seems that LED status should be WORKING in this build.

So, uh, did I misread something?
[HD2 Android SD Development] mago988:
why? how I make to activate them?
[HD2 Android SD Development] raymanx01:
OK, so I just installed this on my Core Cell Series of WinMo flavor. I've had this probably for an hour and just have been messing around with the settings, etc.

Besides the media missing (which I found in the stickies thread), the only issue I'm having is the Data connection. I've had to go into the settings, inside the mobile networks and click on "automatic" which takes finds tmo. Then it takes about a minute for all the data to start working. Not sure what's up with that, or if Tmo is actively trying to cok-blok or something.

Edit: Did this: "No Ringtones or Notifications in setup (in DarkStone's Builds): Download the following file: [I can't post website] (copy the link into your browsers address bar or it wont download). Extract the 'media' folder (make sure the folder has sub folders with the sounds inside those) to the root of your SD card. Now go to Settings, Sound and Display, Phone Ringtone or Notification Sound and they should be there." But didn't work. Anything else I can do?

I saw new software update from htc when checked from menu->Settings->About Phone->System software updates

i downloaded.. its ask for rebooting but after rebooting it goes to windows..

can you tell me how to update this?
[HD2 Android SD Development] PurL:
With G-Sensor disabled, maybe less frozen lockscreen, but the problem is always present.

With Wifi disabled (and G-Sensor disabled) it seems to be better.

I use 3G for data transmission.

Disabling the G-Sensor is not an inconvenient for me. But wifi, what a pity :(

I hope it will be corrected in future version.

[HD2 Android SD Development] kiloah:
this worked miracles for me! my battery life is GREAT! heres what you do:

get setcpu if you dont already have it its for money int he market but free on the web officially and get advanced task killer from the market

in setcpu use these settings(the phone is still super fast and i run 3d games perfectly):

Main: 806 max 245 min scaling conservative, set on boot.

Profiles: enable add profile condition screen off 384 max 245 min powersave scaling and 100 priority

Advanced: 200000 sampling rate, 80 up threshold, 20 down 0 ignore nice 5 freq step apply set on boot!

in advanced task killer! auto start auto kill level safe auto kill frequency screen off! add setcpu and advanced task killer itself to ignore list! by holding ur finger on them in the app list when theyre running and picking ignore!

and if its not important to you go to settings accounts and sync and turn background data off!

PS DONT USE LIVE BACKGROUNDS! and try keeping a lower brightness as much you can, i do that on all my phones anyway to save battery.

This did miracles on my battery life and the phone couldnt be smoother.

Verrrry rarely there are minor freezes in this build but nothing I'd sweat about... I was on a Samsung Vibrant before this and that too, despite being a native android device pretty much froze once in a blue moon..

Issues

Ok, first off let me say, this is by far my favorite android build out there. I seem to keep running in to SOD issues with it though. I have tried Chucky ROMS, Elegencia ROMS, and now to follow Darkstone and see if that helped I have Miri's ROM. The constant issue I have is froyostone(most updated version) works flawlessly, until I accidentally let the battery die. Then it is a whole slew of multi touch freezes and SOD. How can I prevent this? I do my best to watch my battery, but sometimes I just cant help it. I have the same ROM, Radio, and His newest froyostone build on his website just like he does. I use the g-script to turn off the rotate etc. I use taskiller all the time to ensure I have free memory. I just want it to work as well as others. I hate having to format and reinstall every 3 days because I missed the charger. I dont want to have to download all my stuff yet again. Please help. If I need to change my radio to 2.12, someone please link on A: where it is and B: how to do it. That is the only thing I have yet to try because I couldnt figure it out.

Its because its not a "real" rom per say. It boots what is needed to run at startup and what it sees then. Just reboot after transfer apk files to SD then they will show up.
