pongster i see your around so i'll try and ask again but i really do miss maps in 1.7 its not in the build and won't install from the market, i used the gps directions regularly, granted it took a while to find the gps signal but once it did the directions were spot on any idea how to get this back ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
I have Maps and Navigation in 1.7 :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jamizzal:
its not there, do you think moving over my old data.img from the version before this one could be the culprit? is there a way to get it back without having to start clean?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
if you're getting echo's, it means you haven't searched enough... others are on PPP without the echo...

Must have removed RMNET from the Title when I updated. The kernel I use is optimized for RMNET (Michy's R11) so until the default kernel changes, this is an RMNET build. (Why would people be talking about patching to get PPP if this were actually a PPP build) :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rumsey:
I just got the HD2 today on the cheap as an upgrade to my g1. This was the first ROM I tried as it looked promising. Seems to work great except it randomly reboots every 4-5 minutes on its own. Also my data drops in, out, and all about. Its constantly switching between H and 3G. What does H stand for? HSPA? Isn't that the same as 3G?

I thought maybe I need a different radio but the OP doesn't suggest one, I looked in the "definitive hd2 radio rom thread" or whatever it was but it was just a list of like 20 different radio firmwares with no notes or suggestions. I only got the phone as an android replacement for my G1 but for the time being since it reboots constantly and can't stay on any of the data networks for more than a minute I'm it looks like I'm stuck in Windows Mobile land until I have more time to test different roms. :(

edit: I see PPP patch being mentioned a lot but not mentioned anywhere in the OP. Its also not mentioned in the "Definitive guide to android on HD2" or the "Android HD2 Faq". All the documentation in this forum is sorely lacking and it seems everyone is assumed to be following the HD2 Android scene if they want to know anything about what people are talking about. Why aren't these things mentioned in the rom notes or put in the stickied faqs and so called "definitive guides"? I don't have time to read this whole forum to figure it out (this thread alone is 600pages!), and I am no noob to Android on any other (native) Android sets at all. This whole "android dev" section is in need of some serious housekeeping for the people just getting to the HD2 party.

If any kind people out there want to help handhold me through getting around all the HD2's BS and straight to the Android goodness it would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone have any luck installing the new youtube release? I've tried installing it with the sd card mounted and unmounted, uninstalled the current youtube. Still no luck... :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
I really can't give any tips if I'm not getting the same problem "Mister"...

I use this as my daily build... mine doesn't get random freezes. I wish it did so I could do a logcat myself and follow the prescribed bug report method on my sig...

Try disabling autorotate in all apps that want this (launcher, cmsettings, etc.)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RobertsDF:
I don't know why you are having reboot problems, the radio shouldn't affect that.

You should try the Radio 2.14.50.04.

Also have you flashed HSPL3?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
Have you tried adb pushing it to system/app to replace the current youtube app? (backup your current app first)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rumsey:
Thank you for your suggestion, I am currently flashing Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2.

I have had the phone about 2hrs now. I bought it only with the intention of running Android on it. So far all I have done is format the SD card, copied this rom to it, installed HSPL3, flash chunkydroid, booted in hyperdroid, waited 5mins while the data partition was created, and thats it.

Like I said it keeps rebooting A LOT, no longer than 6 minutes. It never reboots in WinMo. I will try this radio and then the one you suggested.

Do you know the difference between H and 3G, and why it keeps switching? Do you know what the PPP patch is, why it isn't mentioned anywhere in the front page or any faqs, and where I can get more info on it?

Thank you

edit:

Trying to update gmapps now but I have never gotten past 30% so far without the phone restarting. It downloads quit too, I'm in the DFW metroplex.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Ynotx3:
I'm trying to test out HyperDroid and I just did a fresh install and its stuck on starting up Android for the first time... Like its still on Standard battery found for the last 30 minutes.. like it just keeps going with it findings.. Usually on first boot on most builds stop under 5 mins..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rumsey:
Here is a logcat from when the phone rebooted last time

http://pastebin.com/gssNAyGy

edit:

another crash, ends the same way

http://pastebin.com/EkhFJpQN

also the new radio did not stop it from switching from H to 3G constantly
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RobertsDF:
H stands for HSPA which is faster then regular 3g. If it keeps switching between the two, you could be in an area where the signal stregth is not that strong. The new radio might help with that.

Builds are either PPP or RMNET. PPP is faster then RMNET, especially with upload, but not as stable. The PPP kernels also may have more features as they have been based on EVO, which has been updated more recently. The Hyperdroid builds is RMNET, so the PPP patch is to patch it to work with a EVO based kernel.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rumsey:
Thanks again for your help. The radio I tried did not help so I am now flashing the one you suggested. I am also formatting the sd card and starting fresh with this build. Do you know where I can get the PPP patch? Where do you find all the available kernels for HD2, their different features, and compatibility with different ROMs?

I see a HastarinEVOKernelPatch folder, do I just copy this over the root of the ROM folder and hope for the best, or is there something more? Is this even the elusive (and poorly documented / referenced) PPP patch?

Again thanks for answers and suggestions.

Edit:

Is the H what the Evo would call "4G". If so, is there a way to disable 4G it seems like the constant searching and switching of the radio would be a huge battery murderer not to mention its not even working properly, really.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cruise284:
hey

I tired to change the resolution to 200 using Droid explorer but, after reboot the resolution changes back to 180...any other way to change the resolution 180 is too small for me...:eek:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
CHeck if you renamed the startup.txt to reflect the name of the buildfolder.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RobertsDF:
That should be the folder, copy to root and replace anything it asks about. After using the patch, use the latest hastarin kernal (7.6r) .
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
it doesn't show when the device rebooted in the logcat... when does it reboot for you? what ROM are you on?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] apeatan:
-try the build.prop in the /system folder. it should remain to 200 after reboot.:)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RobertsDF:
If I could get the youtube.apk I would try it. The apps downloaded from the market do not appear to stay in the download folder like they used to. It shows up when downloading but after trying to install it disappears.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] apeatan:
-did you try changing winmo rom? I had reboots when I was using stock rom.:p
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cdub2499:
is anyone having problems using the browser and downloading from the market? The weird thing is the twitter and facebook apps work, just cant download apps or use the browser, any ideas?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rumsey:
Hi,

What you are seeing is the last command before it reboots. It looks like it was freeing memory both times, then subsequently just hard crashed and booted back in to WinMo.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RobertsDF:
Forgot to try a reboot after uninstalling it with titanium backup. Doing that now and then will try to install it again.

EDIT: That worked! can't believe I forgot to do that.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Ynotx3:
Thanks that fixed it. Since I read README and it stated to name the folder "HyperDroid". But apparently didn't know would require to change startup. Thanks will post my review and see if this is good enough to replace bangsters :].
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cruise284:
Thanks for the prompt reply...actually I did edit build.prop in /system folder, to double check I tried it again but after reboot it has changed back to 180...:(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rumsey:
I have been trying with chunkydroid WM rom from the start. It seemed to have the best compatibility from what little I read on that.

edit:

Good news. After another SD card format and fresh ROM copy, its been up and running for over 10 minutes now - longer than ever before :)

It is still however constantly switching from H to 3G and if this is anything like the Evo's I've used that means its draining the battery like a mad man. Now, with the Evo you can disable 4G, however that option does not exist in this rom. Is there ANY way to lock this in to 3g and not have it search for a HSPA signal?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RobertsDF:
Well thats good that the reboot is taken care of.

What radio are you on right now?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rumsey:
The latest one you suggested. Yes, there must have been some corruption with the ext file system of either data or system. Either way its fixed now and I'm ecstatic, the though of potentially having to use WinMo was about to make me go back to my G1.

This is actually fairly common in my area, though. I've seen Evos do the same thing and most Evo users just disable 4G here to save the battery life.

edit: I just bought this phone because someone offered it new to me in box for 180 - not a bad price :) However last I was looking in to android on HD2 was a couple months back and at that time I believe it was only possible to use half the system RAM (I think half was reserved for WinMo or something like that), is that still the case now?

edit2: Noooooooooooooooooooooo the phone just crashed again after about 15-20 minutes uptime.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mwebb76:
It's not your fault. I've seen a dozen posts answering the LCD density question and all either get it wrong (their suggestions won't last past your first reboot) or are so ambiguous that it's easy to find the wrong build.prop file.

For the record, the following methods DO NOT WORK past the first reboot, and some not at all:

-using LCD Density changer from the market

-editing build.prop in / or /system or the Stockify folder.

The following method DOES work:

-editing build.prop in /mnt/sdcard/HyperDroidv1.x/root/system

Editing /sdcard/HyperDroidv1.x/root/system/build.prop might work but I've only used the path above.

Pongster, could I suggest altering the instructions to use the full path? The current instructions leave enough room for error that a LOT of people have trouble with this.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RobertsDF:
I believe android uses all 576 MB of RAM now.

I don't believe there is a way to just use 3g. I know there is an option use 2g only but you don't want that ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RobertsDF:
Download setcpu and use that to see what temp your battery is at. does your phone feel hot?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] apeatan:
-ah, ok...hhmm...some guys here successfully changed their dpi but I can't remember which build.prop they edited. if you are on to it, try search the thread, it is only a few pages back. if not, try editing all 3 build.prop, if you have those 3.:D

EDIT: I'm at 240 now. I only edited build.prop in /system....hhhmm....I guess build difference?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rumsey:
Nope the phones not even warm. I was downloading setcpu when it crashed :(

P.S. - It crashed again. It seems to be lasting 10-15 minutes now instead of 5. The phone really isn't heating up at all, I'm having a hard time thinking of anything that would cause this
[HD2 Android NAND Development] apeatan:
-did you try re-extracting the hyperdroid folder from the zip? or redownloading it? it fixed my problem ones but in a different build. or if you have another sd you can try it there?:)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mattfmartin:
Yea simple as that. Either its bad sd card, or corrupt build.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rumsey:
Alright thank both you guys for the suggestion. I will try a known good sd card since I just got this one. If that doesn't work I will redownload the ROM even though I've never had a corrupt ROM or download before. I was leaning toward the sd card too, but secretly wishing that wasn't the case because its a brand new 16gb sd card I just got and I don't want to drop back down to a 4giger :(

These tests will have to wait til tomorrow, thank everyone for their suggestions.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mmduluth:
Do you mean the led light? Mine always does that with every build after I restart. Just send yourself a text message and you'll be good.

v1.7 thin font

The font for HyperDroid v1.7 is much smaller/thinner than v1.6.

I checked \<Android Folder>\root\system\build.prop on the previous and current version--The DPIs are both set to 180. How come the font for v1.7 is much smaller?

I also checked the font settings in "Spare Parts" and it was both set to "Normal" for either versions. So i changed the current HyperDroid v1.7 to "Larger", but it doesn't look the same.

Anybody else noticed this? Thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] stratplayer:
Yes I've noticed, something doesn't look quite right. I wear glasses and even find it hard to read the font, especially in the status bar at the top.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] apeatan:
-I haven't seen the hyperdroid 1.7, I think it is with the font file itself, the ".ttf" font files. If you like the font of the previous hyperdroid you are using just get the fonts of the previous and and use it in the 1.7.:)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jmmmmm:
Indeed the actual font files are different. Do as the previous post said and you will be fine. You can even go out and grab a custom font and try that if you want.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jembot:
@apeatan

Thanks! So the font file is the reason? The font in v1.7 is hard to read.

Btw, which font do i replace? It's in \<Android folder>\root\system\fonts right? :confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] stratplayer:
I love the Hyperdroid rom, but I have the same issue with my data connection, it is either just not connected at all, or it will switch between 3g/H etc.

I was using the build below with the Hastarin v7.6 kernel, and had no issues at all with the data connection.

[BUILD] [18.Oct.10] phireMOD Froyo-On-Phire v1.2 | CM6

Is anyone else having the same problem?

P.S I need to update my signature!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] apeatan:
-You have an idea where I can get other fonts? Cause If thats the case, I want to use the font I am using in my winmo. I just forgot the name, but it is included in chuckyrom. Thank you...

-yep, put the ".tiff" files in that folder, it will automatically be installed when you boot to android. You might have to replace some of your widgets in your desktop after this.

-am, I didn't had problems like that with the default files of hyperdroid. Are you using the PPP patch with your hyperdroid? or could it be your network? cause this past few weeks I'm having problems with 3g, but in to 2g I'm fine. I thought it is with my android, but when I checked on my mom's iphone she also has weak and fluctuating 3g signal she even has a weaker signal than me.:P
[HD2 Android NAND Development] stratplayer:
Ah.. PPP patch... now you mention it, i do remember reading something about that, but no I haven't got it installed. I guess it's worth a try then, I will try and find a post linking to it.

fonts

Pongster,

Hi, is there a way I can use the fonts in "kd fonts" in winmo? i tried opening the kdfont.cab but there are no ".ttf" files in there.

Edit: I saw a library of fonts here from the thread http://www.dafont.com/new.phpof kliptik (kd fonts) and they are ".ttf" can I use them directly to androidmeda? I already installed "typefresh" fresh app for changing my fonts.

-why is there a number of fonts in hyperdroidultimatev1.1, does all them being applied to android except for the ones that I think for the language.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Qais55:
Hey guys,

Im running 1.6 right now with hastrians 7.6 kernel and I am very satisfied with the data transfer, plus the screen wake up time, and also everything seems much more snappier(i dont use BT anyway).

So my question is if I upgrade to 1.7 will I have to revert to michy R11 kernel or can I just stick with the kernel + PPP patch I have now?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] apeatan:
-You still can use that kernel with 1.7 if you want.:)

first attempt at installing android on my hd2 and i used this build and everything came out perfect

i am not going to try any other builds as installing android was confusing enough

but great job but if i were updating this build how would i do it? well i dont need to now since i have the latest but im sure there will be other versions
[HD2 Android NAND Development] apeatan:
-IF, Pongster makes a small update, you can just copy your data.img to the new hyperdroid release. but IF, he makes big changes, it is better to make a fresh install.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] DavidMc0:
I've not been able to change the LCD density either - I've tried a number of times, and stockify doesn't work as the instructions would suggest.

Does anyone know how to get it to work?

I've tried putting the files in the root directory, and the "root" directory within the HyperDroid folder, and in the "root/system" directory within the HyperDroid folder, and tried editing the build.prop, and nothing has worked.

I'm still on HyperDroid 1.2 because of this issue, and now I'm hoping to get it sorted, as I'm sure it's something simple :rolleyes:
