rootfs file

prior to swapping out these files, i wasnt able to send /receive mms text and 3G/data network DIDNT work 90% of the time......... been about 5hrs since file change and its been flawless, watching yankee game live on tv and on espn scoreboard on cell , theres about 45 sec delay so 3g speed seems fine. switching between web pages wifi on/off, bluetooth on /off no freezing issues, sent received mms texts pics sent & received normal size....THANK YOU!!!!!! finally got android back...started w/G1 and loved it. 3 weeks ago i was not sure i had the ability to flash phone and get to where i am. this site has been very helpful along with support4you.com i would not have been able to do this (im not very savvy with these types of things)sweet build thanx agn to anyone who helped me along. (sorry for lil rant)

this post was supposed to go in froyo v2 thread.....however since updating to V3 i figure id post my experiences so far been running this version for lil more than a week it seems to be most stable rom ive used. only problem ive been having and its been more recently is the data/3g connection seems to work when it wants, sending receiving mms only works when the data connection is available. only until recently ive had to disable / enable internet connection to get data to work (even outdoors). no sods, no freezing, very responsive/fast. no wifi freezing issues. bluetooth works flawlessly with my sony xplod deck streaming music and taking calls recognizes phone automatically.

i did order new 16g card from htc ( as someone posted in this thread by calling 800#), however was informed that it doesn't necessarily mean i will be receiving a class 4 it could be just a new class2 :(.

overall iam completely satisfied with this build, i use as my daily havent use3d winmo since installing.

thank you for this rom greatly appreciated awesome build.

android update?

I started android today and it said i had to download an update so when i did it told me to restart but as soon as it does that it doesnt update because it goes straight to windows. any solutions?
[HD2 Android SD Development] apallohadas:
You don't have to download that update. You can change that notification under settings.

The auto-updates for the android build aren't for us, so it's best to turn that off.

The devs will post here (usually the first thread) when they've made an update.
[HD2 Android SD Development] QuaQuaRaQuaQua:
Don't know what actually happens when changing the "rootfs" file, but still, i have a lot better signal now, and i had no problems with booting.

[edit] Only thing missing is the send & receive arrows when using GPRS, thats not a "must have" for me...

Hi, has anyone had any issues when updating the google maps app? Whenever I try to update it, the download is successful but then the installation fails...

I am running this android build and my LED notification light is not working for sms, missed calls , emails etc. I went to settings to make sure it is on and its checked. Any help?
[HD2 Android SD Development] apallohadas:
No clue, but same here.

Not that I really miss the light.

This build has been pretty good to me. Only thing else not working right is the loudspeaker. Barely audible.

1) replaced the lights.qsd8k.so file to improve battery life (a must)

2) setcpu with tweaks to improve battery life and stop the screen freezing

3) configure ADW to smooth out scrolling and reduce screen lag

With items 2 and 3, I haven't had a single screen freeze.

Item 1 I just did today. With currentwidget running, I can see that prior to the file swap, I was consuming 800+mA when not in standby and 60-200mA when in standby. After the change I'm consuming around 200mA when not in standby (application dependent of course) and 3-6mA when in standby.
[HD2 Android SD Development] firebert:
yup no notification LED for me either but its no big deal. And same for the loud speaker. Also I seem to get some sort of ghost image after taking a picture with the HTC camera.

Can you please explain how you did items 2 and 3? I would like to improve battery life as well as stop screen lags and freezing. I'm kinda a noob, sorry.
[HD2 Android SD Development] wisnia99:
Hi, could you explain little more about your settings.

Like whats the lights.qsd8k.so? where is it located on the phone and where did you get the file to replace it with.

Also about SetCpu what setting did you use?

and finally ADW what is that?

Thanks alot!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] S3BAZ10:
shouldnt you guys upgrade? why use an out dated build? theres alot morew builds to try that may have fixes to all your issues...smh
[HD2 Android SD Development] apallohadas:
Anything to help guys.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7949689&postcount=42

That's the post by Aussiebum explaining how to replace the wonky lights file that seems to drain the battery for many of us.

Get Super Manager (free) from the app store and use that to copy it to system/lib/hw/. You'll have to rename the original and keep it as a backup just in case things go wrong. After you copy the file over, you'll have to reboot for the changes to take effect.

(Just a note: there's no instructions with Super Manager, you'll have to enter settings ->Enable Root & Show Hidden Files. That way you can get to /system.)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8190078&postcount=1

That post explains the settings for setCPU.

ADW Launcher? It's a home replacement app, but you can tweak the scrolling and screens so it's smooth like a penguin's belly!

I hope I've explained clearly enough. I know as a new guy here sometimes the instructions aren't as thorough as one might need :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] apallohadas:
It's 3 weeks old. Not exactly a dinosaur and it's running really well with tweaking. Not seeing the notification light isn't a big loss, and I suspect the speaker issue is probably repairable in a fashion similar to the light/powerdrain fix.

I've been following some of the new builds, and they all have some issue or another. It's just a question of 'which issue am I willing to live with?'
[HD2 Android SD Development] rizky_p:
not sexy enough i guess, or it might be that i am more familiar with Nexus compared to Desire since i own one.

Why is it Devs are moving toward Sense Build rather than Stock Android like Nexus's Froyo? Does the Latest Froyo Desire Update a has better performance compared to Nexus's Froyo?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dawid.:
+1, Android UI looks fresh and stable
[HD2 Android SD Development] HotShotAzn:
Dude...you don't FLASH anything. Read the first four post of the Dev thread and come back.

1) Dowload the file

2) Rename the file to "Android"

3) Place the entire file on the root of your memory card

4) Open File Explorer on your phone

5) Go to the Android folder and run the CLRCAD.Nothing will happen

6) Run the Haret.exe program

7) Let the program the run. You'll see a bunch of code but eventually it'll boot Android.

Anyone else having problems with the ALARM?

I was not able to change the alarm. The default is 6 am, 7 am and 8 am Mon-Fri. I cannot add any alarms and I cannot change the existing ones.

I'm using the Sense version.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jjones1983:
Is anyone else having touch screen issues with this build? I had it very rarely on my MattC build where the touch screen would stop responding and I'd have to lock/unlock the phone and it would be back to normal, but it's happening really frequently with this build. Other than that it's beautiful though. Nice work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] thatruth132:
im getting sick and tired of people complaining about what doesnt work when its 8 out of 10 human error ..and then u blame the build ...to the point where the creator removes features bcuzz of so many false reports ....oh my so an so doesnt work...to post later oh i got and then say i found a fix ...if it wasnt broke u cant fix it
[HD2 Android SD Development] ayosopov:
already tried it

[HD2 Android SD Development] omershahab:
Yeah it's not too big of the deal since the rest of the ROM is awesome but was just wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same thing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iamgpc:
+1

There are some issue on this build.

1. Bluetooth Headset => Connect OK, A2DP OK, Headset NO OK(NO SOUND)

2. Touch screen is nonrespondent frequently.

3. Phone signal shows no-signal frequently.

This times a million.

Thanks for all the hard work but stock is for me. I don't like all of the little changes that sense comes with, even without their home screen UI.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mobi:
Anyone know how to enable the red hardware button to end call? Its been possible in other builds but I cant find it in this one. I tried to search this thread and google but cant find.

Also many thanks to all the devs for their hard work. Awsome build.

anyone have any idea?
[HD2 Android SD Development] mattfmartin:
I second that. Also people saying I don't like all the sense stuff. Then why did you download it then when you knew it had sense tied in with it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] niteowl360:
Thanks for your info on battery drain etc.

The speaker issue may be remedied by the same procedure when getting low sound in call. Simply toggle the Speaker 'On' Off' once or twice and sound becomes very loud.

Generally I only experience low volumes when receiving most calls.
[HD2 Android SD Development] raysacr:
so this build doesn't have ringtones?
[HD2 Android SD Development] rammo12:
If your ringtones and other sounds doesn't work you need to download the file at the bottom of the start-post there it says what you need to do.

Change MAC address

Hi,

I love this Android on my HD2. Nice work!

Is there a way to change the WiFi MAC address? Since I've got two HD2s with dual boot and I've got MAC filtering on my router I'd like to set the fix MAC 00:11:22:33:44:55 to the original hardware MAC of the devices. Is there a way for that? In this thread I only found the suggestion to add 00:11:22:33:44:55 to my filter list, but that seems only the second best solution. The intention of unique MAC addresses is to be unique ;-)

Thanks

Scruff.R
[HD2 Android SD Development] apallohadas:
Thanks! I'll give that a try today.
[HD2 Android SD Development] javierortiz2:
Simply, that one looks great, is very fast, stable for many days and completely functional. Some little problems must be commented for investigate it in order to have possible solutions that makes users happyer. However, all that issues and its comments, will be read by build developer and im sure that in future releases he is going to solve it.

Do you read this, Darkstone? Many of us are waiting a 3rd release "breaking the pana" (as always, getting upper point in developing), so thank you for making this dream possible and go ahead.

Come on posting mates, we are all helping us to get the perfect build.

I now got the Android on my HD2 for 2 days and before I installed Android I updated my radio version to 2.12.... but now I have ALOT of signal loss compared by the previous version (uhum version 1.44 :$).

And now i was wonderig if I just can change the radio version again without having to install android again?

Or is it important to reinstall??

And is there a minimum version I must have or can I just change it to which I want?
[HD2 Android SD Development] vagelisv:
I've tried each one of these builds every day they would come out and I have all of them in cards... however after trying all I think that froyostone is the best one out right now... It's more stable, less battery consuming (experience based)
[HD2 Android SD Development] vagelisv:
So... you got a lot of spare time huh? :p
[HD2 Android SD Development] Caste23:
I'm totally agree...

I tried a lot of builds and for me froyostone is the best one !!! no problem at all !

[HD2 Android SD Development] wisnia99:
I also tried all of them and this 1 is be far the best good job darkstone!

and by the way my battery drain is 3-5mA without any fixes just advanced task killer set on auto kill when the screen is off.

Excellent Build - Almost Complete

I had a few issues with the data connection and freezing as well as apps not installing. However, The fix for both of these issues are listed at the top of this thread.

I found a copy of HTC Sync 3.? and it works perfectly.

I am still having issues with Bluetooth. Once this is resolved, I am saying goodbye to winmo altogether.

GREAT JOB!!!!!!!

I don't know if this has been brought up already, but I'm not going to go through 360 pages to find out.

I'm getting a weird error with this build. Everytime I restart and reboot android, during the blank loading screen, I get an error saing "Failed to find rootfs". And it just stalls there until I pull the battery. The only workaround I found is to delete the "Android" folder before every boot up.

Is darkstone aware of this? And will there be a fix? Thanks.

Just thought I'd post about my recent findings about this build. It's been amazing the last week or 5 days really without any SOD's or reboots and I've not been back into wm since last weekend. Its pretty much stable apart from needing to go in and out of airplane mode every now and then to get data working and bearing with the short screen freezes I can happily use this day in day out. Not even wm stayed working this long without a soft reset so I'm chuffed with it. Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] ScruffR:
I had that same problem. Instead of reading readme.txt of the kernel download, I followed the faulty installation instructions given in a thread for a dual boot app, which stated to copy the contents of the Android folder to the root of the SD card.

Shame on me ;-) If I read the readme.txt I would have found this

What version of Radio do you have?

You need 2.08 or higher(2.12 recommended) to run Android.

I had a similar issue when i installed Android for the first time.

New radio fixed it.

You can check radio from Settings->About Phone->Software Information.

If i use the map (not the navigation) the screen switches off after the regular timeout of 1 min... This never used to happen until 5-6 days back.. any recommendations?

If you are using Froyostone Clean V1 w/ Energy rom don't upgrade to the latest version he just released yesterday (latest Energy rom that is). I did and the phone portion stopped working. It got really slow and choppy when trying to make a call and when it did connect I had the chipmunk voices. I flashed it back to the 9/20/10 Energy rom and it started working again.

[HD2 Android SD Development] tam_dukett:
hi there im still having a few problems with this build, and im guessing some1 may have fixed this problem but to be honest who has time to read all 360 pages.

well the problems are:

1. the screen freezes everytime i try to unlock it takes about 5mins to sort it self out, awhile ago i was told to put the newest zimage but that didnt do a thing. the screen also locks up in amiddle of a text.

2. when im out the 3g doesnt work at all.

3. every now and then the backlight dims to the lowest setting but when i go in to the backlight setting all setting are at 100% but a reset fixes this problem.

4. ive got two screen locks one the slide down and two the patten i want, i want to get rid of the silly slidedown bar but i cant find a way how.

i think maybe its about time a newer build should come out soon coz its been over amonth since a last android build for hd2 came out and this one is good but i can be 100 time better.

thanks

With the original rootfs, I had network connected but no data was passing thru, although I have tried all possible settings. I have replaced rootfs as per the instructions above, but still then the connection totally failed.

What do I do to fix ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] raysacr:
Thanks that worked perfectly!

ANOTHER ISSUE:

Is it just me or does a lot of games not work? Is it because we're booting from SD card that some games are not compatible to run like that? Here are some games that I'm having problems with:

Ninja Kaka - Downloads fine, install unsuccessful

Fruit Ninja - Installs fine, freezes when you try to start a new game

Bejeweled - Installs fine, freezes at opening screen

Moblox - Install unsuccessful

Tetris - Install unsuccessful

MiniSquadron - Install unsuccessful
[HD2 Android SD Development] mskip:
For an unsuccessful install try going into settings, sd card and unmount the sd card. Then try installing your app. Sometimes it helps. Remember to remount the sd card after though.

This android build is great, everything runs smoothly. The only problem that i have been having is the GPS.

Theres a setting in the menu that says something like "in the US"...oddly if you have "in the US" checked/marked it will show location in seattle...unchecked it will show actual location....not confirmed tho..that was the case with mine atleast when i was messing around with it earlier...

TMOUS MMS User-Agent Settings?

I have T-Mobile US. I am having problems with MMS. I have the settings correct and they are sending and receiving. But when they are received on the other end they are extremely small. I sent a picture that was 300x400 (147kb) and it showed up on the other end as less than 100x100 and the file size was tiny (2kb)!! Through researching this I have found it is related to the user-agent profile. T-Mobile US apparently shrinks down the message because it doesn't know what phone I have. How can I change the MMS user-agent setting and what should I use for the setting? Sorry if this information has been posted already, but it is rather difficult reading through well over 3,000 posts.

Other than that the only issue I have with this build is the battery life. Some days it seems to run down faster than others when sitting idle. I used to have SoD, but that went away after upgrading to radio 2.12.

I remember seeing a fix for this recently. Try searching for HD2 TMOUS MMS FIX and I think it will get you to the right place.

I use Elegancia ROM and when I message in there its fine. But when I am booted to Froyo Android from SD card that is when the messages go through tiny and blurry. Thats why I posted here. I am assuming it is something to do with a setting in this build.
