I'm using the non-sense version. It runs amazingly fast and smooth. Battery life seems to be the best of any builds I've tried. The main issues I've run into are using my BT headset, low call volumes, and speakerphone doesn't work (I know most of these are known issues that are being worked on). Apps and games run especially smooth.

The other issue I have is some sort of screen lag. Every so often it seems like my phone falls behind and the touchscreen won't respond for about 10 seconds. If I hit the sleep button, bring it back out and then unlock it that seems to fix it faster. I'm wondering if this is an issue related to my SD card (stock 16 GB class 2) or my SetCPU settings (maybe I'm throttling the processor down too much).

My stats:

TMO USA

Energy Rom

HSPL3

Radio: 2.12.50.2_2

stock 16 GB class 2 SD card

Its a known issue with the zimage. Problem is that on irc they are more bothered about the leds than the screen actually working....priorities a bit mixed up i think

darkstone HD2Froyo v1 STILL MY FAVORITE BUILD

already tried FroYostone...didn't like it =(

loved the black notification bar, hate sense icons

sometimes very slow wake from sleep...

just my humble opinion, really appreciate your work!!

thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] xfinrodx:
Same story here. The 10 second phone pause is quite a downer on an otherwise very fluid build.

One thing I am missing a LOT out of the straight Froyo builds is the numeric battery gauge in the "About Phone" settings area. Is there some sort of reason why we couldn't have our frozen yogurt AND eat it too? ;)

-T-Mo US

Any way to speed up the market? takes for ever to load:(
[HD2 Android SD Development] pack21:
Berhh.....i never load the market, I search in the web the best review of the type of app I want, them just put the name on search bar of market, and give the app in a second.

Choose a app in catalog market of any SO is not the best choice to found what we want.
[HD2 Android SD Development] crocks:
Probobly a dumb question but is there any way to gain root access in this build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] 11calcal:
It already has root access ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] DarkStone1337:
Did you notice a file named READ_ME_OR_ELSE_THIS_BUILD_WILL_NOT_WORK.txt when you downloaded this build? Did you read the Readme on the first post?

There is a reason that these are there you know...

Anyway, tomorrow I have an exam, once thats done and over with, I can get back to full speed on improving these builds. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] suua:
Thanks a lot Darkstone!, great work, really great work.

I hope u will reles a this build with the Nexus Verison, like u did with DarkstoneFroyo :)

Im still using DarkstoneFroyo :)

Thanks man :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] crocks:
hmmm. Yea it was a dumb question. I thought the reason my binary files weren't loading up for tethering because i didnt have root access. Guess not. Is PDAnet the only way to tether?
[HD2 Android SD Development] cezzarmicu:
darkstonefroyo v2?

same here suua. though both froyostone builds run superbly, i really do miss the looks and interface of the vanilla version aka darkstonefroyo v1.

let's hope darkstone makes an upgrade of it :) @darkstone, please? :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] 11calcal:
Good luck on the exam front. Speed is peachy on this build imo but can always be faster ;) a nice clean build would go down a treat right now also.

Cheers thanx bud.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Jammie_1989:
Sorry if this has already been answered but tired and need go sleep and wont wake up unless this is sorted :p Alarm doesnt have a sound and cant add new alarm. Any fix or is it going to be an alarm app?

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] Chitown021:
+1

Excellent work. Thanks for all of the hard work and good luck on your exam!
[HD2 Android SD Development] naps1saps:
Great work!
[HD2 Android SD Development] louie23:
I've been using this ROM for a couple of hours and one thing I noticed is that it doesn't sound during incoming calls and text. I already set the volume to max and still no ringtone and notification sound. When I was using darkstonefroyo I don't experience this. Need your help guys. Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] drey4211:
ok i have the astros premium ROM for android and i still have problems with the speaker.. the robot voice is still there.. what did i do wrong?
[HD2 Android SD Development] SeanX:
download http://gamesquare.co.uk/media.zip and unzip. Copy the media folder into your Android folder.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dj_ghosie:
Hats off, great build!

Been using it for a day and problems I encountered are as below (some might duplicate with the already-found issues but I'll still list them out for clarity and stats.):

1. Screen freezes periodically, unfreeze can be done after turning the screen off and back on

2. Heating at the lower back of phone, really hot when using 3G, wifi and charging together (haven't check them in different combonation)

3. Need to delete the "Android" folder every time when boot from WM, or Android will not boot up (stuck an seemingly infinite boot-up loop)

4. Battery drain fast! (am trying Juice Defender to see if it helps, passively)

5. Chinese character not supported within OS (my mp3 has chinese filenames and details, can't have them displayed as proper character)

6. Occasional shuttering when scrolling OS menus

7. System reboot when starting up wifi hotspot

8. Maps' pinch-zoom multi-touch feature not working properly (always zoom out when pinching either way)

All in all, everything ran mostly smoothly, definitely better than Liquid with 2.1 !

Keep it up, man!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bonobow:
Thank you for this..! just moved from win to android! OMFG

is this Froyostone the best to have?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bonobow:
Definately...
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
You must be really unlucky or something. I've only had problem #7 on your list... (I don't use Chinese so that isn't a problem either)

My battery yesterday lasted 14 hours (with 20% left) with 2 hours of Pandora and wifi, moderate use, and a few texts and calls.
[HD2 Android SD Development] pongster:
You could change your ROM to ones that have shown not to have the Robot voice.

Cleanex ROM's

VBN ROM's

Energy ROM's

Miri's ROM's

ChuckyROM's

Check out the threads discussing "Robot Voice" and you should find a ROM for your Android. :)

I personally use my own HyperROM NextGEN (Unreleased) but do not actively develop and support it at the moment.
[HD2 Android SD Development] lemonspeakers:
How do I get into my system settings if it doesnt even load? After sliding to unlock the device, it says launcher pro stopped unxpectdly. That's it. I cant' press anything else besides the power button.

How do I get back in?AHHahAhAHhaRGggghhhhhhhhhhh:mad:
[HD2 Android SD Development] mattfmartin:
Try to hold down the home button and see if something pops up
[HD2 Android SD Development] pongster:
If you're on FroyoStone v1, the launcherpro.apk is located in the "Android Apps" folder...

You could boot into WinMo to access that folder and delete the launcherpro.apk. (com.fede.launcher.apk) :)

Then it would allow you to enter your system to download the latest launcherpro (no crashes or FC'ing to date) from the market.

Alternatively, you could use "adb install" or "adb push" when you are at the android lockscreen.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bonobow:
How do i back up stuff like i used to with Microsoft My Phone?

how can i move my things from winmo to android...?
[HD2 Android SD Development] vak1811:
battery life is great (froyos v1 series sence build)

a) APN settings crash, I will fix this asap.

b) USB Storage mode is disabled, I have done this on purpose. File corruption seems to occur when using android to transfer files. Are you really suprised though? You're running the O/S off the memory card too remember...

c) The touchscreen issue where it freezes is known, I acknowledge this and will be investigating it.

d) Battery may not be at its finest yet due to the kernel. I may change the kernel if it is an extreme issue.

first of all thank to darkstone and other developers for this great build..

a,b,c i dont have any complaint, i know he will fixed that soon..

for d:

i don't have any battery issue, i think this build is perfect.. the battery is way better than the previous build, even better than the samsung vibrant and evo 4g..

been using this new build since friday night until now..never have death screen or what so ever.. no robotic sound, text and mms work great.. i notice the 3g is little bit faster compare to zimage july 23rd..

[HD2 Android SD Development] Metastable:
Wanted to add that the HTC flash light app is not working for me, even on the third power setting.
[HD2 Android SD Development] razorpixel:
Darkstone, Just to report, I am using the betakernel, so far zero freeze and this kernel seem stable of cos this kernel not speedy as the 384ram kernel.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Segnaro:
Thanks! This phone just looks so beasty when froyostone is running on it. :D

The touch screen problem is the only thing that irks me :P Sometimes it barely happens, but other times it happens every few mins. Other than that, everything is working just fine for me :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bonobow:
Please anyone...?
[HD2 Android SD Development] imakul8:
I tried the same thing with no success.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dj_ghosie:
More to report:

Bluetooth pairing with headset works, can adjust volume, end call. BUT no sound!

Auto screen-off function when phone in use don't work 100%, usually follows with temp screen freeze.
[HD2 Android SD Development] noellenchris:
I don't know why, but I don't have any TS problems. My son has HD2 and his has TS problems like crazy. Who knows. Maybe try to recreate data.img again and it will work. We have almost identical setup. Except, I'm running on 8gb class 6 SD and he's on 16gb class 2. But I also use that card on mine for other builds...
[HD2 Android SD Development] dragion:
FYI: I decided to go back to "mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense" since he has 1.5 out now...all I can say is that his build has primarily everything that is here in DarkStone's build including the bluetooth fix.

The speaker volume is a tad louder too, so that too is a plus for me.

The nice thing about DarkStone's is that the "flashlight" app works and doesn't on mattc's...something I can live without at the moment.

I hope that DarkStone will have a resolution regarding a bluetooth fix soon since a lot of us members seem to have this problem.

Both builds are excellent and I'm happy with either one, but for now it looks like I'm sticking with mattc's until DarkStone comes up with a fix for these issues. :o

Keep up the great work! :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] velcrobandits:
Ok so the mhz is clear right? You wanna clock down to get more out of battery life (supposedly...). When i read the original darkstone thread people recommended the ondemand/userspace governors but if you go to the website the dev says ondemand actually takes more cycles/power to figure out the nec. clockspeed and userspace doesn't work at all so the dev recommends for true underclocking to set it really low and put it on performance. performance keeps it more or less at your max mhz, but if you underclock you know that clockspeed is gunna be superlow.

EDIT:

I have NO idea how people get their battery life 20+ hrs with setcpu @ ondemand min 449 max 998. I don't even come close and I underclock to 499 max (which has never affected performance, ever. i thought the screen freeze was cuz of underclock but seems its a known issue)
[HD2 Android SD Development] jojo_angelov:
funny ;) thanks for the reply though. However, it does not answer my question...the previous dakrstone froyo came with the stock voice button on the keyboard...I am wondering if anyone has figures a way to revert to the old style keyboard somehow? it was a great future to be able to write text messages and emails with your voice wow... Anyone??
[HD2 Android SD Development] ixitrippin:
Agreed, i like the darkstone also..all this sense business isn't me, over all good build thanks DEV team! for all your hard work
[HD2 Android SD Development] naps1saps:
To tell you the truth, I hate sense too.

Other note: I would like to know how others are getting 20+ hours out of their phones also. I'm getting 10-12 hours with stock 2.10
[HD2 Android SD Development] schoei1:
Does this build have the 3D app menu & the right & left lock menu keys, to give it that original froyo look?
[HD2 Android SD Development] zagzag99:
It does, but in the "clean" version
[HD2 Android SD Development] zagzag99:
"clean" version has a bug with alarm clock.

Once turned you won't be able to snooze or dismiss.

The alarm window is simply not there.

Only power off will silence the alarm.

"Sense" version doesn't have this problem. And it's very sweet looking.

Only need to get used to the size, it's kind of too BIG on the screen.

I guess nothing can be done to the resolution,right?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kingston2513:
language support for Simplified Chinese

This is an awesome build. But could you please add language support for Simplified Chinese? Thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] halo117:
Try the Nexus One Torch by Ben Buxton. Crazy bright and uses the flash light LED.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jays3l33t:
everything works great except bluetooth.

my BT headset SE MW600 is able to play music

but phone call with it isn't possible.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Caligirl2828:
I read the forum often and decided to test this build... Been using it all day! runs nicely...a few hiccups here and there, but all in all very nice! very excited for future releases! i'm using elegance rom on my hd2 tmous...booting froyo w/sense from 16gb sd.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dj_ghosie:
Just a bit of observation regarding the screen freeze issue...

The screen freezes very frequently when I was using it while in motion (need to turn screen off and on to rectify the problem), yet when I'm still and use the phone, the screen rarely freeze.

Seems like it might have something to do with the g sensor. Can anyone else please confirm this for further debugging?

Cheers!
[HD2 Android SD Development] prudviraj:
Bluetooth calling buggy.. i tried calling couldn't hear the other person also got the BSOD once i end the call..
[HD2 Android SD Development] Tico.ASandoval14:
Great build, been using it for a couple of days now. The only problem i have is the screen wont respond sometimes and i have to click the home button a few times for it to respond, but im sure everyones aware of that:) Nonetheless, I cant wait for the future updates.
[HD2 Android SD Development] KelvinSo:
I did exactly what you told me but it still doesn't work

please help me

Anyone facing gsensors problem in this build.

You know we love froyo on hd2 !
[HD2 Android SD Development] azzzz:
loving this build so far...having issues creating a new alarm or modifying the existing alarm...modify/add and then click done....nothing but the same three alarm...I did do a titanium restore so that might be the cause...can someone verify this? much thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] emotionalhaze:
yeah...me to....is it about micro sd class problem???

my micro sd is class 2...anyone here using class 2 have a problem like me??

sorry for my bad english...
[HD2 Android SD Development] victorscarlo:
having the same freezing issues as well.. Texting is different, and having freezing issues where I have to turn screen off then on and hit send on texts. Also, it will not mount the sd card so i can transfer files from the computer to the phone. It wont even show up in windows explorer.. hmmmmm
[HD2 Android SD Development] basst85:
And me too.
[HD2 Android SD Development] MartyLK:
I will be donating to the cause when I have an income. This Froyostone Sense build is purely outstanding. I haven't come across anything that doesn't work and it remains buttery smooth and fast as any factory installed mobile OS.

I tried the "Clean" build and like all of them with Launcher Pro, it eventually start having touch issues where it seems to take an initializing touch before the screen will freely scroll. It isn't with just the Froyostone build, it happens on all of them and any that have had LP added in.

But this Sense build is pure perfection. This one is now sitting at the tip top of the pack of excellent builds.

Im getting failed to find rootfs on root of sd card how do i fix it though its in the root! =( help me! the first boot is fine when i go back to win mo then reboot into android does the fail thing
[HD2 Android SD Development] aveores:
I'm using this build for a couple of day and it's amazing! Great work Darkstone !

Nevertheless, i have noticed some bugs :)

- When we setup the alarm clock, it's impossible to change the hour (hopefully, i get up at 8h00 o'clock :))

- With several applications, i have an error message afer 2 days of use: "Sorry, closure of application (name). Thx to try again. (translate from french so not exactly the good one).

Here the apps i have got this problem: Aptoide, htc calendar, market enabler).

- Impossible to download app from market without wifi. But i could downloaded from aptoide when it was working.

Continue your work mate!
[HD2 Android SD Development] mattfmartin:
Are all you files in an Android folder
[HD2 Android SD Development] MartyLK:
Delete the Android folder. With the system files directly on the root of the card, if an Android folder is present, the boot-up will try to find rootfs inside it and will stop booting because it can't find it. Without the Android folder, the boot-up will look directly at the root of the card and find all it needs to boot.

You'll need to delete the folder each time you boot back into Android because Google Maps creates it for its data files. But it is safe to delete it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mattfmartin:
I keep seeing about peoples alarm clock not working. Mine works on both clean and sense. Weird.
[HD2 Android SD Development] tomasz:
Or you could of course move rootfs, data.img and system img to android folder. Saves quite a bit of hassle if you reboot frequently :-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] MartyLK:
I prefer running the files on the root because I have experienced a much smoother and faster operation of these builds when the files are directly on the root.

It's really a small annoyance considering these are actually preliminary builds leading to fully flashable ROMs. And I use this Froyostone Sense build as a daily driver anyway. I rarely boot into WinMo anymore.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kchris:
Just for notice: I had some trouble with Bluetooth. Disconnected, then I had to remove the battery completeley to switch BT again on... Even WinMo (reboot) said that it's unable to initialize the BT stack.

Another thing: I cannot connect the HD2 in HTC Sync mode. Is it normal or it is not implemented yet?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kchris:
another important thing: I can not search for mobile networks to select the operator manually. It says error during search.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rctman12:
o wow thanks! =):D
[HD2 Android SD Development] mattfmartin:
I second that. I've tried numerous times on root and android folder to see if i could tell a difference and everytime it was faster on straight root.
[HD2 Android SD Development] MartyLK:
Another thing I've experienced is if I immediately move all of the files from the Android folder to the root just after they have been unzipped on the card and before first boot, I get the smoothest, most reliable operation. If I boot into Android and allow the data store to develop while the files are in the Android folder, and then, later, move all files from the folder to the root, I experience bugs and such...non-smooth operation.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Bonobow:
Can anyone help please...
[HD2 Android SD Development] chalid:
had this android version running overnight and am surprised with the really nice standby time. battery was 96% charged, removed every widget (except fancy widget, some shortcuts and powermanager) and went to bed. 7 hours later only 7% battery was drained, so 89% left, which means only ~1% per hour. phone was on 3G the whole night, but sync was off. still pretty amazing.

oh and I wasn't using setcpu.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Worpor:
First off thankyou for your great work. This build is great :)

Has anyone got a fix for the no ring tone. Im unable to select a tone from the drop down menu. There's none there to pick.

Ive moved ringtones to android foder and the media folder to the same. No luck :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] kchris:
sounds have to be moved to the /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones folder! ( and notifications etc...) maybe a reboot is needed to make the device to rescan the files.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Worpor:
Thanks man :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] webjunky:

I have the same issue too, just turn the auto off and adjust it yourself.

Tiny problem, can definitely live with it! :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Brunkage:
wow

Thank-you so much for your hard work darkstone. Tried the sense Rom and It's amazing how fast it is... but I think the worst bug is the momentary screen freeze, but that you can live with. I'm amassed how smooth it runs... :-) darkstone = god
[HD2 Android SD Development] ess2k:
Yes, well cought out, i believe its the same for me, screen freezes more when moving around,

Also isnt g sensor a known issue or is that the compass? or are they both interlinked???

Great work Darkstone.
[HD2 Android SD Development] laneh:
Everything is working great. Best build out so far.

One issue. When I hit the phone icon, it says, "Application is not installed on the phone". How do I get the phone icon to work?
[HD2 Android SD Development] sicdroid:
I found that only does that when using Launcher tap the home button and choose Launcher Pro.
