There is some good news? :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
Bad news: Too late to do anything now :(

Good news: I'm back in business and continue work on the build tomorrow :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] catchmeu:
Sounds all GREAT to me :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hummy15:
Waiting anxiously for a fantastic rom as usual
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
O.K. as I'm feeling this is leading to nowhere with the current dev speed caused by illness and too much to do the last few days/weeks I decided to go another way.

Time schedule:

Today: Collect items for ToDo list from previous posts

This evening till release: Work and hopefully solve at least one item per day. Status can then be seen on first posts ToDo list.

Besides I'm all time with an Android with totally crippled software, no phone book and so on as I didn't even setup my phone after the last big testing.

Thats a mess and has to solved ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] suzaku:
well i won't rush you cuz i know our waiting will be eventually rewarded :D the more you work on it the better it'll be, just don't take too long cuz we are all eagerly waiting :)

but i noticed one problem these last couple of days; when i switch to winmo, the battery drainage is a catastrophe, waaay worse than android...i lost ~28% overnight :confused: can running android be affecting or damaging the battery this far?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
Yeah, no rushing, stable testing first :cool:

But as said before I'm using a totally crippled build at the moment, so it's my own wish to push this forward :D

Regarding the battery drain in WinMo, I'm experiencing the same and I think the battery back is getting a lot warmer then whilst using Android.

As I'm using Miri Xtralight this might even be because of no patches in this build (don't know for sure).

Which WinMo build are you using ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] suzaku:
i can wait no problems :D the current build gives me a lot to play with so i'm not bored lol.

o my bad sorry :o i should've included the details

ROM: stock 1.66.415.4

radio: 2.10.50.08

SD card (don't know if this can help): sandisk class 6 8GB (used as primary SD card with winmo too)

it suddenly dropped this way, used to be much better. and yea i noticed the heat when using winmo too :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hummy15:
I hope the chef is working hard as usual. How is it spanning out Chef?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
As usual, currently working on this damn updater and app preferences not working as expected.

I could hammer my head on the desk every time I have to do something that has to do with the Android app/package indexing.

Package is installed by my updater routine but settings are not recognized until playing with the app settings on my own.

Then app is re-indexed and settings are gone :mad:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hummy15:
Never mind. Take a break. Dont rush it. Thank you for your hard work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] david_beholder:
Xcelsior i really like the 'basic' build and using it since it's out. Basically, it's fast and nice.

Would it be possible to suggest use more non-htc components in basic, especially browser. Sence version supports only 3 opened windows and android native version give no limitation like this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] w0LfNiNja:
how things are going well and you are feeling better. just want to get this off page 3 and back on page where it belongs. lol.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] birkoffsjunk:
Looking forward to an upgrade too :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] arifqur:
I hope you are well man have not got any problems.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xanion:
Sorry to tell, but I don;t believe we are getting any more updates on this Rom. Takes to much time and almost no updates from the Chef on what he is doing. I believe the ROM was good when it came out, but other Chefs are in the meantime lightyears ahead. So, I switched to another ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] birkoffsjunk:
I'm sorry there isn't any need for that kind of post... He's already stated what it is he's working on, plus you have to take life into consideration, things never ever go as planned.

Okay so you've moved on, good for you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] suzaku:
+1 on that

this build was (and in my opinion still is) one of the best out there, though it's old.

i admit the update is taking too much time, but chef promised it soon so we only have to wait :D and the fact that it's taking lots of time should assure you that it's gonna come out really solid and as bug free as possible.

and as you said, we can never predict life.

so for Xanion, good thing you moved on, as for me, i'm gonna stick with Xcelsior :D keep up the good work chef :cool:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xanion:
I was not trying to be rude or whatever. I really expect the hard work the chefs are putting into their ROMS. And yes, this one was really good. But if a chef wants to get followers and build his own community, I think he should do a little bit more.

So, yes. I moved on now. But will surely keep an eye on this one. And for the Chef, keep on the good work! :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] antaed:
i do not agree with you mate. this is a wonderful build, still very stable and also pretty fast. i use it from day one and never had any crash or important issue with it.

it even passed my "test of fire" during my vacation when i had to watch all the practice sessions and two motogp races on my phone using wifi connection. that is a total of 8 sessions (cca 1 hour each) of live video streaming in flash 10.1 on the official site. my girlfriend has an htc desire and guess what, the streaming didn't even start on hers.

i tried all the other sense builds and a few of the others but i'm not convinced any of them is better, at least not for me. maybe in terms of features or benchmark results but not for everyday use. so your statement that other builds are "lightyears ahead" is a gross exageration.

i will continue to use this build until a newer version will become available. i don't see the point of installing builds based on their release dates, i prefer to wait for big steps in functionality rather than try all the form factor updates.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
Hell, yeah, never realized this before :eek:

I will schedule this for the version next to the upcoming.

I'd like to have a stable base for further modifications first.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sysu3peat:
Here's to Xcelsior and to a nice stable build....I'm tired of having dropped data connection and Xcelsior's build is the only one that gives me some nice continuous and quick data...We love what you and all the other chefs do for this community :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mb:
What's the problem? It's not as if you've paid! (I have donated). I'd much rather a rock-solid build for everyday use, which this definitely is, than a build which is "light years ahead" and crashing all the time.

Keep up the good work Xcelsior. Looking forward to something soon. Don't let ungrateful trolls like this get you down.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] david_beholder:
Omg, there should be some filter on xda against idiots and trolls. Like ability to ban idiots on certain amount of dislike clicks. When I'm saying idiots and trolls, i mean you Xanion.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] david_beholder:
Actually i took Browser.apk from darkstone and installed it instead of Internet.apk. The only problem -- buttons on url bar are black while the rest of UI is grey. :) But it's okay.

I did the same with Calendar.apk too. And it's also working.

P.S. Don't listen to whining idiots.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xanion:
Yes, you're right. There should be a filter, against people who deliberately try to offend other people, like you.

This is a forum and people can also tell their opinions here. I was just giving my opinion and as far as I know in a normal and friendly way. So, please act normal.

I've used this rom for a month and my phone restarted every other day. So, for some it may be a perfect ROM, for me it was not because of that. And I stayed with the ROM because everything else was perfect. My bluetooth headset worked, my WIFI and 3G always worked. So, Yes, i'm a little bit disappointed that after a month there is still no update for this ROM. But im not blaming the chef for it!!! Í just draw my conclusion and wanted to hint the chef that a little bit more interaction with your users is important if you want to build your own community. And with that I mean more updates on what he's working on and how thing are progressing. I was waiting for an update that would (hopefully) solve my instability problem, but really had no clue when something would pop up.

But, I now installed Froyo senseV2. Works good most of the time, I no longer have reboots. But everytime I want to use the Internet I have to turn off WIFI and put it back on again. So, not perfect either. But at least i'm always available now on the phone. But believe me, as soon as their is a new update here from the chef. I will install.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
Whoooooo, firy discussion.

To say one thing, yes, this build may be a little outdated but testing all the stuff takes its time.

As said before I am using a very crippled kind of this build at the moment as I am busy with testing and testing only (haven't even synchronised with my exchange server once since began with testing which means no push mail, no contacts and nothing).

The problem is that Android is a fairly new system and I am aware that other chefs are using the latest features in their builds. My opinion is and always was that I (and therefore my build) do not need them.

This build was planned and will ever be a good starting point to have either a stable build or a good starting point for your own builds or everyday Android usage.

To be honest, I even missed the discussion that was ongoing before because I simply missed the discussion between working and developing/testing this build.

At the same time I would like to thank all that have donated in the meantime, will update the frontpage soon, no time for that either.

Besides as some were asking to make some non standard apps like TaskKiller uninstallable I am scheduling at least this to be available for the weekend meaning updated rootfs.img with updater capabilities and an updater package that will move those apps into the data partition rather than being in the system image.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sknorrell:
Hi,

i used you build since one week.

All works fine, except the USB and compass.

I hope you can fix the compassproblem.

As i try the NexusOne-Rom the compass works but i like to work with you build.

Thank you for your build

Yours sincerely,

Sknorrell
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] david_beholder:
Wow wow "opinion" "friendly way" don't make me laugh. You just came and start whine about how outdated your build and how you're switching. You presented not an opinion, but description of action and motivation of an action. You presented it in very unfriendly way to the guy who's doing a build, and instead of showing a respect to him. Therefore check your behavior, if you want others to "act normal".

And look, if you're using different rom, what's the idea to write here -- every rom has it's own forum.

If you want to report the problem or suggest new feature, why you don't write about problem/feature with as much description as possible instead of whining like this:

The quote above is of course a part of precious feedback on some v1.0a malfunction or it's a suggestion?

And this one clearly shows that you haven't spent time to read updates from Xcelsior.

You better say excuses to him instead of arguing to me.

P.S. My gf has everyday reboots too, but it was some program from marketplace; and we found it out ourselfs on day two.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
USB is fixed with the new kernel I am currently using for development (from official GIT repository).

Thanks for pointing to the Nexus ROM. If there is a compass app that is already working I will have a look at it.

Thanks for donating as well.

Just forget about it. I have seen many people complaining about this and that but as said before, I don't really care.

Everyone is free to switch to another build anytime and maybe come back to this one later. It's just my way to give something back to the community.

As already said way too many times: Supporting a whole build which includes new features, testing for bugs, investigating bugs, fixing bugs and keeping everything in a good state without destroying another part is very time consuming.

At this stage, after I have seen many small problems such as super user permissions automatically granted the wrong way and apps not working the correct way because of this very tiny problem, I think it's worth the time I am investing into investigation of these problems to avoid having one stupid release after the other because of fixing one problem.

Even the step from V1.00 to V1.00a (built in sounds and superuser absolutely not working fixed) was something which could have been avoided with good testing before releasing the first built.

After this, testing procedure for new builds has increased by some items to avoid this kind of problem again (in this case simply being called on the phone is test enough but has simply not been tested with first release).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] david_beholder:
Сan be a beta tester if some. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] suzaku:
i agree with that, i'd be glad to be a beta tester :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] birkoffsjunk:
Xcelsior is there any way to enable ppp manually on our current build? New EVO Kernel looks to have resolved a great many issues but Android without data is like well being on WM.

Sent from my HD2 using the XDA App
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] birkoffsjunk:
Xcelsior any update on that release you mentioned yesterday before the xda hardware failure?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
YESSSSSSSS, had to restructure something to avoid problems in the future but now it's working like it should.

Just uploaded the new files to my build server. Tomorrow (Monday), I will give the beta some tests and will make it available. Hopefully from there it will be a short way to the next full release :D

So, tomorrow's the big day, beta release (fixed: default backgroundimages available, moved everything additional like Task Killer to data packages so they can be uninstalled, updater system) AND update files (V1.00a -> V1.01).

Note:

Odd version numbers will be beta releases, even ones will be full releases, canonical additions to a version are fixes of the release without features removed or added.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] david_beholder:
Beta testers would be happy :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mb:
BUMP! Any news?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
BUMP! Great news!

First plan was to release a beta with very little changes to demonstrate what has been done so far (in general the new update system I was working on).

As there were some problems (basic wallpapers not showing in HTC wallpaper group, to say at least one problem) that I was not able to get fixed using the existing packages, I did a little diff of the original FroYo OTA update for the Desire and the existing Desire builds that were based upon Eclaire first.

The result seems to be more stability and some generic problems fixed.

As planned before, this will be available as package for complete reinstall (in any case) and as big update package using the new update system to patch your existing installation (currently in testing, depends on how much trouble this will make).

Currently there is one big limitation on the new version I can see so far: NO CAMERA!

In general this should be a rather little problem to fix as I think there are some libs or the camera app that has to be exchanged against a compatible one.

Depending on how well this is processing the next version will be released either beta (camera not working) or as full release (everything is working so far).

I will try to have a bug reporting system setup on my server as well as I have experienced that reporting bugs in a forum between discussions are rather confusing and tend to get lost between other discussions.

Looking at these milestones I think there's nothing that would avoid at least a beta release this weekend.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] arifqur:
Good for you. Nice to see you back in the saddle
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] w0LfNiNja:
can't wait. i keep your build on a second sdcard right now because of how stable it is. i use another sd to test all the other builds i wanna try.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] david_beholder:
Good news. Nice to see you back. And I (or say lot of us) can't wait to became q&a.

P.S. I found out, that new builds are getting stuck if used together with wifi-reconnect widget or losing wifi during the sleep. But it works perfectly wiht your current build. May be there's other way instead wifi reconnect widget how to keep wifi alive, but i don't know them so far :) Hope it would work in 1.1
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sysu3peat:
Any more news on your status???

Sorry i am just so anxious for your release because I love how stable your builds are as compared to others!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
Just to say, it got really late yesterday due to testing a lot with what shall be the new beta (camera is working now).

I have to grab some packages out of other builds as with the current status (recorder app is not recording, flashlight is doing nothing, ...) no one is happy.

This is a little side effect by using packages from official OTA update of desire, the hardware is just different.

Besides that I will have to write a detailed ReadMe.txt for those who install the new version from scratch as there is ONE nifty little trap one can damage its build right from the start (Android not behaving that smart in this case).

Everything else is working as expected as far as I can see.

I am currently collecting the "better" packages and as I have some more time today trying to get this thing done for now.

UPDATE:

This is getting very frustrating. Did a check with the latest kernels (EVO and NEXUS). What happens is the following:

- Latest NEXUS kernel: Buttons act weird (menu and back act as up and down key)

- Latest EVO kernel: Gives me a scrambled logo on first start, afterwards I am in an endless loop ending in a bluescreen

Will test these kernels on some other builds tomorrow. If it's a generic problem then no problem for release, if it's a problem with my build I will have to check this first.

Current open problems:

- Check kernel compatibility (updating kernel, modules and WiFi firmware through update system works)

- Flashlight not working (exchange with an app that works)

- W-LAN tethering will restart build (hopefully fixed with correct kernel)

- Exchanging camera and recorder app to some better versions that fit more to this hardware
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] antaed:
Take your time Xcelsior, we'll wait as long as it takes because we know the quality of your builds is guaranteed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] w0LfNiNja:
yeah, if you aren't happy with your own build... how are we gonna be happy? lol. no hurry. useable and stable are the key. heh
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] c1-p8:
Last evo kernel is fantastic but it has only a buggy ppp.. can you make it with rmnet? :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Ironsave:
I prefer PPP. If anything; option for either......

Please do take your time..... I have a stable build running right now......

I can wait. ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sknorrell:
It's so quiet here.

Is there any news?

Of all tested builds that I think is the best.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] antaed:
kernel related issues, i think...

perhaps newer nexus and evo kernels don't work very well with desire builds.

coincidence maybe but since cotulla & co. are working on wp7, android development seemed to hit a wall.

oh and let's not forget about wm development and the critical need for hspl 3.03...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] david_beholder:
I've tried FRG83+Hastarin 7.6. Works pretty decent - no sods and almost stock build.

Plus G2 + Desire Z kernels are released - more developent gonna happen soon

WiFi not work! I have change zimage and bcm4329.ko. Now id work. Bue
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rocheau:
Ok, we will have to do the same as we did before in other BUILDs in order to make WIFI work. BTW, Could you confirm me if the HTC FM RADIO have been included in this version?

Ty
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kelvin_swe:
To make wifi work. I guess u guys have to do this.

here is the link i got this from.

http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leo/UpdateKernel

Create this folder structure under winmo:

STORAGE CARD\Android\root\system\lib\modules

copy the bcm4329.ko file in it. It will look like this:

STORAGE CARD\Android\root\system\lib\modules\bcm4329.ko

Boot Android and the file gets copied to the protected Android file system. (/system/lib/modules)

If you do this from within Android, reboot to take effect.
