[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] suzaku:
you're welcome :)

well wifi instability is a general issue, you gotta note that it's still work in progress so it's still not perfect, though the point we got to this far is impressive.

but i don't experience network problems, have you been having these issues in all builds?

mmm dunno about sending sms, to be honest i never tried sending them but i receive them without problems

so far i'm very pleased with this build. i installed it last night. i was able to get a 100% battery charge the next morning. yay! i unplugged my hd2 around 9am and it is now 7pm. it has 34% battery left still. i did all my set up today. installed all the programs i use and wanted to test. i played alot of different games today to see what i wanted to keep. i'm sure i was on the phone for at least 2 hours straight doing all of that. i checked facebook, twitter, and some txt msgs just about every 30minutes. no calls today thou. still, with all i did on this build, i'm very happy with the battery life.

i'm gonna give this build 1 more of testing and fooling around. then i'll decide with build i will keep. my current set up in my sig and i've been very happy with it... this might replace it! =)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
Hello all,

thanks for giving this build a try.

Just for information, this is my curent ToDo list:

Debugging:

- Superuser app not working (permissions problem?)

- Facebook/Flickr in contacts not working (not tested yet due to not having Flickr or Facebook account yet :p )

- Gmail app crashes (not yet tried)

- Ringtones are (!) in the system.ext2 (not available due to perissions problem, currently trying to modify my kitchen for fixing all permission problems)

Wishes:

- Build with original FroYo "stock" theme

- Better recording (720p)

- Calendar app for BASIC (most likely in next release)

So far these are my next steps, I hope to get the new build assembled tomorrow with at least Ringtones built in image, Superuser app working as expected and Calendar app in BASIC build.

Does anyone have a version with FULL RAM support?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
You're already looking at the right spot :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Psygnosis84:
Ok sorry, i just thought builders didn't support FULL RAM just yet and only released the 384mb version instead.

Installing now and hopefully it's better than the mattc which was better than the Froyostone, but its constant rebooting wasn't quite good.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
384 MB of RAM is the max amount you will have, the rest is reserved by the system and graphics memory.

By the way, I never experienced rebooting with mattc build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Psygnosis84:
Yeah it's a weird issue and it doesn't seem to be just me either, a few other people complained about the issue aswell.

It was odd having the phone restart while talking to someone on the phone.

I've formatted the card but it still rebooted.

I've put your build on and hoping it runs fine :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] OrionBG:
Why then I have 422796KB RAM on my HD2 according to SetCPU's info page?

This is with the latest FULLRAM OC'ed 950mV zImage! on a mattc 1.5 Build!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] birkoffsjunk:
Hey Xcelsior, I've been trying out some (all) Android builds this last couple of days, I have to say your basic one is right up my street even though I'm getting some serious stability issues with launcher pro, sense (on the full sense build) all crashing. Anyway I'm sure it's probably my sd card just taking a fit or something :D

Right my request :eek: any chance you could include the HTC news widget/app in the Basic version too? or the apk to manually install it? :D Cheers
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
I usually find stability issues running Launcher Pro with many builds. But on this build it seems to be the most stable I have tried yet. I did have to change the memory usage settings and not use the "Hide Icon Names" setting. If I enabled the Hide Icon Names, it would crash. But setting memory usage to Medium with Compressed Cache and unchecking Build Cache As Needed has managed to make this the most stable and smoothest build out there.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] birkoffsjunk:
"Hide Icon Names" was one of the things I changed before everything went under ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ragelord:
I'm testing this build for day and a half non stop now and I'm very impressed! By far the best build for me. It IS my full time OS already :) Thanks to all the developers and rom chiefs !

I havent encountered even a single major problem. It is just fantastic! :) There is some little problems but they are not deal breakers :) 5MP camera and usb file transfer would make this build flawless and I know that it wont be so far away in time when this would be reality.

Thank you people ! XDA rules ! :)

I don't get a GPS signal. Has anybody the same problem?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mb:
Took a few reboots now finally working. It's very fast!

Biggest problem so far is that the Gmail app doesn't work. It crashes with process com.google.android.gm has stopped working.

EDIT - Fixed it thanks to Google's own website. "Fixed it by going into "Settings>Manage Applications" and selecting Google Apps and Clearing Data and then do the same for GMail and any other Google App you are having a problem with. After this you will have to re-enter your account info again and everything should sync back up without problem."

i use copilot and get a gps fix within 20 secs
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] snozze:
Okay, WiFi?

So, I've been trying all these Android-builds for the HD2 and I'm really pleased with how smooth everything works. Of course there are still some minor issues left to deal with until the phone really is an Android phone!

However me, myself still can't get the WiFi to connect. I've been trying FroyoStone Clean & Sense, shubCRAFT_v1.2,_v1.2b & _v1.3 and now Xcelsior's Android.

I've entered the correct WiFi-key, it connects it takes some seconds and then it disconnects. Have already set the WiFi-policy to never switch from WiFi to Mobileconnection. Any ideas on what to do?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pietrucci:
Underrated

I really think this build is underrated since everybody is posting in Darkstone's and spimonkey's threads...

It's the first build I'm using which is stable (no freezes yet!), fast and in which EVERYTHING (of my needs) works: Sense, GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth calls (carkit), 3G/HSDPA, Phone, Market, Navigon, Gmail sync ect ect. (Nearly) perfect!

Only minors are the volume (just a bit too low) and no PC connection.

Very good Xcelsior :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] phankhi:
definitely agree with you here, this build is the most stable, prior i was using spimonkey v1.5. Do you mean the PC connection with the SD card? if its that I use Auto mount from the market.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] _tangent:
Great work!

But unfortunately I'm having the same problem with this build as i have with the froyostone v1 build: on running for the first time it pops up with com.android.settings process has to be stopped when it tries to set the carrier. Then, i get the same error if i go to the apn page and try and set one manually myself.

The only way to fix it, is to install an app called APN Backup and restore to delete all apn data on the device, then i can get to the settings page and add the right apn manually. However, doing this causes sound to stop working, as if the CLR file thingy hasn't been run prior to booting android. Also, the manual APN is lost on a restart.

Is there really no one else suffering this problem? I get it with an entirely fresh versions of these builds (i.e. from format)?

Cheers

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] arifqur:
Hey Xcelsior.

Try a build with the new Kernel with Keypad Lights and charging light like the new Darkstone's Rom.

Maybe a Froyo version would be nice.

But BT in calls has to be there like in your current builds.

Ciao

+1 on that!

Keep up the good work!

This might not be the right thread to ask but it's one of the few I found that talked about the FM Radio.

Is there a way to pull the radio out as an APK and install it on stock Froyo?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nawcho:
is wifi tethering working in this build?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xcelsior:
Added to the wishlist, I think this should not be a too big problem.

Good point, was too lazy to test it during the weekend but will test before next release.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mb:
Absolutely +1 from me. Have been using it all day. Battery drain looks a bit fast compared to WinMo, but this is by far the best build of Android I've used to date.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kelvin_swe:
Can i get startup.txt please?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kelvin_swe:

Does anybody have an issue with sound? I have no ringtones at all.... when i select it then it shows nothing.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
missing ringtones

I have this too.

I diff'ed my sd card with another android I tried, it is missing a folder with the following sub directories:

sd card root

media

alarms

notifications

ringtones

ui

The sub folders contain mp3 files, if you create this structure on your sd card (root) you could trim and add an mp3.

I copied the folder and rebooted the phone, at first nothing, then after a second attempt, the ringtones show up.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] premikkoci:
Do not know why I can not access the system files? I use other zImage, but when I copy the file to a folder wifi functional modules. It writes Insufficient permission.

To Suzaku!

Hi, i think i didnt have this problem(network signal) with other builds, just tested Nrgz, other i dont remember and this...and this is the most stable i tried, its up and going since yesterday 13H, allways runing!

When the network bar is empty i called with another phone and it was all ok!!

Wifi same thing!

Couldnt install google sky maps.

For Sms im using adcent sms from market.

for next days i will not have to much time to try it at 100% !

But it will be on my phone until another one is released!

By the way...im going to buy a desire..... :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sarrabico:
Read some of the older posts, i had the same problem, Suzaku has the link to ringtones.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] suzaku:
totally agree, +1 on that

this build is faar better then any of these
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] suzaku:
i haven't been experiencing any problems with network or wifi, though sometimes the wifi shows no bars but still works fine.

i'm using the stock ROM, till now no probs at all.

yup i agree with you, most stable build out there. i'm running it since yesterday which is the longest time i kept on android :D

still seeing how development goes, if they successfully manage to install it on main memory to be the primary OS i'll do it, otherwise i'm gonna switch to an android phone too :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Psygnosis84:
Any ETA on the new kernal with the backlight keys and so on?

This has to be the most stable build i've used!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tomylee79:
nothing for me. I tried google maps and waze but nothing.

yesterday I noticed that it kinda freezes for about 10sec from time to time. I can go back with the back button but the touch will not work for this time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] denso1:
Working well for me, smoothest I've tried so far... Great Job, lemme buy you a beer for your efforts!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mb:
An Incredible Piece Of Work!

This is just such an incredible build. I've been using this for a day now and EVERYTHING works with NO crashes. Even the Slingbox software worked first time.

Also fixed is the "Locate Me" GPS button in the National Rail app (it used to crash on other builds, even when GPS was supposedly fixed). Google Sky Map wouldn't install, but that was the only thing that complained.

I will certainly switch to Android full-time now and only pop back to WinMo for TomTom.

Only lost 16% battery overnight from a full charge with Exchange running, which I think is pretty good considering the dramatic losses reported on other builds.

Just did a Bluetooth File Transfer from my laptop to the device. It worked first time. This has never worked with Windows Mobile!

Well done - astonishing work! Have some beer money 2M259234TW388712K.

setcpu?

i'm using it for 2 days now without any crashes, everything fine so far.

is anybody using setcpu and get more battery life or any other improvements? which settings are you using with this build?

Stay tuned (watch first post or follow on twitter) as the new version is planned to come tonight.

Great ! 'cause I have the same issue : no ringtone or notification :( I've imported some but I miss some HTC notification.

And by the way : thanks for your very good work ! I've changed from Mattc 1.5 to your kitchen and I'm glad to have made that choice ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
lack of sound

I guess you have it sorted, but I did mention a few posts back how to solve this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] plbelanger:
It's nothing fancy. Just a simple notepad application with added features that I think would be useful. It's still a work in progress and I'm mainly using it to learn more about android sdk and java. You can do a market search for pub: plb and it's called "extensive notes". Please give me feedback on features I should add, what I should change etc. Look forward to hearing from you!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] plbelanger:
Added some UI tweaks and added features in the latest version.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bryanchapman9999:
How do you import notes? Don't see an menu option for it, or export for that matter.

Like it though, simple and looks good.

Any chance of a widget?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] plbelanger:
Thanks, I actually just finished adding todo's but I renamed the app to extensive notes since the original (notes) is pretty common but search for pub : plb. Anyway export you long press a note and click export. Import create a new note and click import from menu and then just type the path to the file on the sd card e.g. /Notes/note.txt. I'm going to work on widget support next.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] plbelanger:
Homescreen widget/shortcut support added. You can also import text files from URL now.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] plbelanger:
Pro version with account & pw management added along with a bunch of other features. Still a WIP so more features coming soon.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bryanchapman9999:
Can't seem to find this in the market anymore...

Edit: Sorry, found it on Appbrain

Looking good!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bryanchapman9999:
Looking really good. Have bought the pro version more to support you as the free version seemed to have all I need.

Couple of things...

Would like to see a really widget with perhaps a summary of notes / to-dos like at the top of the main app

Ability to change the icon of a shortcut

Sticky the status bar notes/icons - after clearing from the notification drop down, the notes disappear.

A change log, as you seem to update daily!!

Good work.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gpz1100:
Is there a comparison table that shows the differences between pro and free versions?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] UglyKidJoel:
I installed the free version of this and absolutely loved it. I then bought the pro and have since been trying to work out, how do I merge my old notes with the pro version and how come every time i upgrade my phone software or do a system reset the free version keeps all my notes but anything that I've done on the pro version all disappears?:confused:

Sorry wrong note app...I was going on about extensive notes.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] greeced:
I'm starting a new thread because it doesn't necessarily fall in to unlocking of the phone (as I've been asked).

I'm guessing any new purchases of this phone will have the recovery/download 3 button combo feature completely disabled.

The reason why I say this is that I've been to 5 different stores between yesterday and today (with the most recent one having a stock amount of 9 phones) and here are my findings:

Every single boxed up phone has the feature disabled. (All I did was have them install the battery (no sim or anything) and pass the phone to me).

However, every one of those 5 stores that I went to, I did it flawlessly on their demo phones.

So my guess is, as the demo phones would have been the first batch Bell provided (and some being on display before any actual product released to the public), all subsequent batches of these phones will have this feature disabled.

I went to 2 different best buys that have ample stock of the phones because it is onsale this week, and none of them worked... nor did they work at the future shop I attended or the 2 bell stores (including the one I purchased and returned initially).

But every single demo did.

So if anyone got their hands on the very first batch of phones and it works then you're a lucky one. For the rest of us, I think we are S.O.L.

There's got to be a way to do it... Anyone know a Bell Representative or better yet a person inside samsung that will leak that info to you?

Heck I don't even want to unlock the phone. I'll stay on Bell's network, I just want to be able to load new versions of Android without any risk of bricking my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beast11:
Thank you! It was annoying reading all those posts abt this in that thread.

And I'm not too sure that the new phones don't have it. There have been a few people on the thread that have said that they got the phone at launch, and it didn't have the feature, but when they went to return it and get a new one (from the new shipment) it was fine...

So really I dont think its very easy to tell if its gonna work or not...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] greeced:
I think I'll wait til september to buy the phone.

I don't care too much about custom roms and the like, the stock one is fine, but Bell has a history (See the i7500L) of not updating their firmwares in a timely fashion. The i7500L is still on 1.5. Terrible if you ask me, considering the "open-source" feel of android.

So there are rumours, I don't know if its true or not, that bell is going to have an official 2.2 update in september. Maybe then I'll buy it and by then all phones will have the 3 button combo on them.

I just went to a local future shop here, and the phone representative contacted their Bell Rep, who was at another store, he couldn't do it on the phones they had there, but promised to call Samsung on Monday to find out if their is an alternate way.

Maybe you have to hit a reset button along with it. I remember doing something similar on my old HTC diamond phone, maybe this is the same thing (sort of).

Too bad, I loved this phone all the 4 days I had it (up until reading about the 3 button combo). I sort of miss it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] greeced:
I just put a call in to Samsung to find out why some work and some don't, they said because the phone was so new that I had to call a number specifically set up for support on the Galaxy S but they are only open Monday to friday..

So hopefully with all this calling around I'm doing something will be figured out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] arr0ww:
I got my Vibrant on launch day, 3 button combo didn't work. Swapped it out for a new one, from a new shipment last Thursday (august 12th) 3 button combo works.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] greeced:
arr0ww,

Can you confirm what i've been reading on wiki then?

It states:

"Note: There are many Bell I9000M floating around with this feature disabled, without the Download Mode enable you wont be able to restore from a failed firmware flash. We highly recommend you to take it back and exchange it for a model that can work properly with the 3 button combination. The first batch from around Aug 5 or Serial # ending with 6000000 have the 3 buttons combo disabled, the new batch after Aug 11 with Serial # ending with 6500000 have the working 3 buttons.

example of full Serial # 89302610202006500000"

Do your last 7 digits end with 65 and not 60?

Also, where did you get yours exactly? I think if its close to me, I'll just pop by that store and get it (assuming your somewhere in the GTA).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Electroz:
I got mine first thing Launch morning. My serial is 59XXXXX. 3 button combo IS working.
