Mmmmm strange thing happened, originally installed froyostone sense (wifi would connect to router but no data would transfer) I then moved the android folder from SD card to my laptop and installed hd2froyo v2 (wifi worked but not great) I couldn't get used to the basic OS so deleted the android folder and copied back the sense android folder back from my laptop. WiFi now works perfectly on the original sense build so am pretty happy. Anyone who had issues with WiFi in this build could try doing what I did to see if it works for you.

Hello Darkstone,

Just wanted to say that this is awesome work, when I first tried this over a week ago I was blown away with how well it worked. And this is with the 16gb calss 2 card that came with my phone. My only issue has been the occasional screen freeze but putting the phone to sleep and then waking up clears that up.

I don't know if it's releated but when my internet connection is fluctuating or losing connection completely is when the screen freezes. Don't know if that happens to anyone else but otherwise awesome work. Used Android for a few days straight before switching back to WinMo

If V2 improves on this then that's awesome, if not then I am happy with the current

i've tried it with google maps and it works through out the entire time. then, I tried it with my PAPAGO navigation software, the same result.

so, for me, GPS works all the time and GPS lock time is pretty fast, less than 10s under open sky.

I am running the darkstone HD2Froyo V2.1 build from 17-August. I got the latest zImage and Modules today in an attempt to update it. Everything works great except bluetooth.

Bluetooth worked perfectly before (except the first call after a boot had no audio) but now won't turn on.

I assume this is because the build from 17-August had the bluetooth driver tweaked by ElBartoME. Is there a way to get that and how/where would I put it?

Or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,

Jim
[HD2 Android SD Development] jimmcghee:
FWIW, I'm running the version from 17-Aug and the first call I make after booting has no sound but after that everything works great! This is with either a handset or in my car.

BTW, I LOVE the bluetooth button on the phone screen so I can make a phone call in my car without everyone in the car hearing.

[HD2 Android SD Development] mmorisa:
hello Jim.

First and foremost, this is the Froyostone build V1 and not the HD2Froyo V2 or V2.1

in this build, it is a known fact that bluetooth for handsfree is not working yet. YES, you can successfully pair it but the audio won't go through. the bluetooth connection is ok if you want to transfer file to and from your device to others.

Maybe you can direct your question to the relevant HD2Froyo V2.1 build so that forumers there can assist you.

in this Froyostone V1, the keypad light also not resolved yet. but we will wait for the new build to come as for me, this Froyostone V1 with sense is the most stable build for me. wifi and 3g works right out of the box. just make sure to set the SSID correctly with the WEP code and the APN for your telco.

SMS and MMS also works like a charm. no problemos.

for battery conservation, do no set auto sync.

for touch freeze problem, minimize moving or tilting your device while using it.

just for anybody to try, shake your device like crazy and then try touch your screen. there you go, screen freeze issue. not a real problem though, just power off then on, or lock then unlock. solve.

best regards,

morisa

I have this feeling as well! With the most recent z images I love this build I use it every single day and about 98% of the features I mainly used are working, and luckily that other 2% are minor things!!

So yer I wouldn't advise anyone to expect an update anytime soon but believe me I'm sure old dark stone will blow us away with version two!! Froyostone series ftw
[HD2 Android SD Development] CoupedUp:
Excellent ROM, I am running ChuckyROMs 23132 on my US TMO HD2.

I noticed when going into apps that have "new feature" pop ups on first use are always showing up. Not a big deal, I figure its something simple like not remembering it's been opened once. I'll try powering down and then on to see if it will rectify the issue. I know you know of the blinking Green LED, it would just be nice to have the other colors and the functionality of that LED. :D

Great, ROM. It runs excellent here.

EDIT: The first use pop-ups went away on re-boot.

The 'darkstone HD2Froyo V2.1 (18-August-2010)' web page at

points to this thread which might be why you sometimes get people here posting about the wrong build.

Let me know where the proper thread is and I'll repost there.

And, BTW, the afore mentioned build has a bluetooth that works great with a headset. Except for the first bluetooth call.

Hi everyone, and thanks DarkStone for the excellent ROM.

I was very surprised that everything was working fine but

then I started getting SOD but I disabled Google's

email notification an it seems that this fixed it.

unfortunately my bluetooth earpiece is not working, and the

camera and camcorder are not working to their full potential.

Excellent HTC Sense integration.

Again, Thanks DarkStone!

having read the .txt file and all 185 pages, AND used the froyostone with sense for bout 2 days i have to agree that this is byfar the most stable version there is as of now...

there are issues which have been mentioned in the build notes as "known issues". however, i've been trying to send and receive files thru bluetooth but it keeps failing... any ideas on how i can get past this? fyi, i did format the card before putting android folder on there...

thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] mmorisa:
Hi morphosin,

For me, the bluetooth works very easy. I just switched the BT on, pair it with my Laptop, select a file then transfer. A simple as that.

The file will be transferred into: "/sdcard/downloads/bluetooth/" folder. been doing it for many times as I don't prefer dropbox. When I use the usb cable, i use DroidExplorer, which is far easier.

Please try and report your findings,

select it by tapping the check mark on the left

then you will get options at the bottom, choose copy

navigate to the "phone storage" by using the green return navigation key above the files list and tap it a few times until there's no more levels up

then go to system/lib/modules and paste

ppctester somehow makes this less of a challenge.

Only thing, I cannot find Android Mate or Root Explorer via Market.

I have an HD2 with froyostone by darkstone, every thing seems to work perfectly with miris's rom but out of no where my phone sometimes reboots all by itself and starts back in windows, once i run android again it always erases all my contacts, does anyone know the solution to this? btw at some random times the touch doesnt work and i have to press end and unlock for it to keep working... does anyone know how to fix this? btw has the rom been updated to record in 720p yet? :D

Hi relic,

this is my HD2 Config;

WM ROM Version: Mr Vandalay Leo Lite ROM (9 March 2010) - Final version 2.10 base in order to get that xtra RAM :-)

Radio: HD2_Leo_Radio_2.12.50.02

Been using it till today since it gives me stability and performance that suit my needs.

Android Version:

Build: FroyoStone Series V1 with SENSE

Zimage and ko: Yes, using the one that comes with the build.

SetCPU: Yes, min=245 and max=768

Appkiller: Task Manager by Rhythm Software (download from Market = free :-) )

RingingTones/Alarms/Notifications: Just download the 'media ' folder and copy it to the root of sdcard.

Wifi: working out of the box. Just get the WEP code and voila.

Bluetooth: File Transfer Only. Pair with headset but no sound (this is a known problem); no big deal for me, I use the wired headset while driving.

Phone: Superb and no problem. No robotic voice whatsoever.

SMS: working out of the box. superb.

MMS: just input the right APN of your telco then MMS is working

3G data connection: just inout the right APN of your telco then 3G connection is working.

Android market: all the apps that i tried installed successfully. so no complaint here.

My location for the weather: working out of the box ;-)

GPS: Superb. working out of the box with google maps and also with my PAPAGO navigation program. No complain here. Satellites lock under 10s and sometimes faster.

WSOD: Never

SOD: Never

Occasional Freeze: Yes, especially when moving a lot. Solution: try to minimize moving and tilting of the machine.

Connection with PC: working out of the box;

a) with bluetooth paired with my laptop

b) with USB cable using DroidExplorer

Battery: I set my HD2 like these (to conserve power);

a) static wallpaper

b) no autosync - manual update only as when I want it for the Facebook and twitter

c) autosync for K9 mail

d) lights off after 2minutes

e) screen brightness at 60% only (enough to see in the dark and during the day)

hope the above info can help you finetune your HD2's android.

best regards,

morisa

I call my HD2 as HDroid2 in the bluetooth setting, so my laptop will see it as "HDroid2".
[HD2 Android SD Development] adamvanner:
Excellent work. This really is the most stable and fully featured ROM well done!

A few items of note:

1. The (documented) Touchscreen freezes- for 10 seconds or more-- seems like not everyone has these. Please, if you used to have them, and then they stopped by some procedure / build / ROM, perhaps you could post? Thx!!

2. Very very rare GL FB issues (only really noticed on galactic swirl LW) Framebuffer blocks are missing at random.

3. MMS not receiving properly - always states "Generic Network Error"

4. Cant set APN Names - throws an exception.

5. GUI performance is good (18-25, 30fps), occasionally silky(40+ fps). Quadrant score of 1319

Otherwise, Ive had no SODs, resets or permanent hangs. Very stable and totally usable in day to day use- if you dont mind waiting for the TS freezes to recover!

Aside, and looking ahead, will it be long before a RUU ROM for this project is available? Is someone working on an Assembler based bootstrapper rather than the current WM6.5 based one (Haret)? Is the only issue to running from main RAM, or does the kernel actually rely on WM drivers during run time? Is there any reason why the Build has to run from the SD card, why cant it be run from the root of the WM device? Questions, questions!!

Thanks

Quick question for those who are more advanced: There is a new zImage and Module for Aug 24th.

I want to use those but don't know how to copy over the module .tgz file over. I mean, do i extract ONLY the bcm4329.ko file? What about all those other files such as "modules.ieee1394map" in the 2.x.xxxx.xxxx folder? DO I copy them over as well? And if so, how do I do it?

All searches only tell me how to copy over the bcm file which I can do using an su command.

rebump. what are all other other files in the downloaded .tgz file besides bcm4329,ko and tun.ko? DO we need them?

Our settings are not exactly the same but the phone stopped SODed after I turned off screen auto rotation feature. It has been 48 hours. Battery drains fast but only slightly faster than my 3GS. I am gonna switch some features to manual for more power saving. For me personally for what I use the phone for, Android 2.2 is ready for prime time on SD Card. I am one of those who favor a dual boot. If a smarty could set up a voting thread for Android on main memory or SD card option, that would be great. Just my penny thought!

"For better performance and better battery life change wallpaper to a static one."

What does that mean change it to a 'static wallpaper'? :confused:

Not Live Wallpaper.

In the personalise section under settings you can choose your wallpaper. Live wallpaper is animated. It works really well, but it uses more juice.

[HD2 Android SD Development] mda4man:
ok bro heres what i do, it might sound long but its simple once you get the hang of it

1) download the latest zimage and MATCHING modules and save them in a file somewhere on your computer

2) make sure the zimage is just 'zimage' not something like zimage-htcleolatest or whatever the ones from GIT say

3)put the modules.tgz file in a sub folder called modules

4) use 7zip to extract the tgz file, i extract it then get a similar but larger file, still zipped, so extract it again and youll get the folder you want, usually named by many random numbers and letters or 'lib' cant remember which one comes first

5) basically all the .ko files are setup in an organised directory under the extracted file, search through it and cut out ALL the .ko files into the modules folder, usually there is around 8

6) i then delete the compressed files so i end up with a folder called Zimage (followed by the date) then in the folder is the zimage then another folder called modules with ALL the .ko files

7)copy the zimage folder over to your phone (in windows mobile of course)

8) overwrite the zimage and boot android....make sure you have the correct GIT startup.txt.....check decordes thread if your not sure

9) boot android, at this time the only thing thats obviously not working is wifi

10) i the use root explorer navigate to system/lib/modules and delete everything in there and copy over all the new .ko files into that folder

im not sure if u need all of them but i do just to be on the safe side, may sound long but it is really simple, root explorer is a paid app but personally i think its the best one as you dont get any messages like you dont have permission to overwrite like i did on linda file manager, only 2.50.

i hope this helped some people...

[HD2 Android SD Development] jpmalum:
This might have been asked and answered before, - So forgive me for the duplication.

Is the battery drainage a problem with all the radios or am i doing something terribly wrong.

I mean i loose about 5% battery life in 30 minutes, is this normal?

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
I am also experiencing some battery drainage issues with FroyoStone build. I was getting about 1/2 day with moderate use. I'm actually trying out the ShubCraft build, which seems to have much better battery life using the same radio (2_12_50_02_2). So... in my case it seems that the build/kernel is more critical to battery life than the radio itself.

I'm hoping / expecting that the next FroyoStone build will have much improved battery life. (I prefer Darkstone's builds due to their stability - awesome work dude! :cool:)

BTW: Does anybody know how if it is possible to add the power control widget from the ShubCraft build to FroyoStone? It is configurable by adding additional buttons to the widget for instance to toggle Mobile Data etc. (ShubCraft use the CyanogenMod base if I'm not mistaken).

I would love to be able to combine elements from both Sense and CyanogenMod into a single interface (eg. Cyaonogen Mod's status bar tweaks, with LauncherPro and some of the Sense Widgets) .... I like the Sense Widets, but not the Sense Dock - Launcher Pro's launcher and dock has a much cleaner feel/look. If anyone can steer me in the right direction, I'd be grateful.

Screen Freeze Workaround for LauncherPro Users

Just something I have noticed ...

When Screen Freezes, simply scroll left or right on the Lock Tab (this action seems to be available at time of Screen Freeze), and immediately screen will 'unfreeze'.

If this doesn't work, press the Home button to launch the mulltiple screens, and press Home button again.

In any event the Freeze will clear very soon after pressing Home button twice.

Cool (no pun intended)

Hope this may help.
