[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] michyprima:
The only thing that windows mobile affects is how hardware is initialized.

That's why with some rom voice calls works and with some other rom not.

After haret is launched windows and windows drivers are definitively shut down.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zamurai:
ok, so it runs from sdcard, does that mean if I copy all the files from the sdcard to a new sdcard, will it work the same?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DavidMc0:
Yes - as long as the card you're copying the files to is blank.

This is pretty cool, as you can just back up your Android installation by copying your whole SD card to PC. When installing a new build, it's not as risky as when flashing a ROM because if it's rubbish you can easily revert back by copying the files from your previous build back to your SD card, or better - use multiple SD cards.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] michyprima:
no need for card to be blank. I've multiple android builds in one sd, separated in different folder. It's enough to change rel_path parameter in startup.txt.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] whynot66:
Or just rename original android folder to say frojo then pop new android folder on root and run from that one just swap the names round when you fancy a change

Some bootloaders like in Maesus WinMo actually let you choose a folder to boot from if you have multiple android builds on one card.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smeddy:
Just extending this thread in a logical direction. I'm sure these are being discussed elsewhere but they seem sensible Qs within this thread. Does anyone have any opinions on...

1) Would it ever be likely that there will be a way to boot back to Windows from Android (I know it's only a soft-reset away, but what the hell :))

2) As WM is completely killed when Android is launched, does this mean that at some point, we are likely to see battery life become similar to what we expect from WM at some point?

3) Is it technically possible that, in the future, ROMs will come which are pure Android - with no need for Windows to boot first to launch Haret etc?

Again, flame me if these are innappropriate/already-well-discussed questions, but these are the three things which seem to follow on from the OP's thread :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] poeticwun:
Thanks for asking (and the answer however rude)

I've been wondering this as well and i always search but sometimes members here make me think twice before asking anything!

Also i was wondering if i may ask,

Since the AndroidOS runs off te SDCard, is it CONSTANTLY reading the sdcard or just using the SDC as the jump off point and the phone itself is actually running the OS from an image but referring back the SDC as a hardware point?

hi, what is the best stripped down winmo rom that compatible with android?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dneto:
Perfect question.

No flames, yes good discussions. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] whynot66:
As far as I know the battery consumption is due to android running fron SD card. A full flash from nand.would improve battery life.

From what I've read it is totally possible and is not far away. Cotulla said that he expects to have a fully flashable android rom in September,

Obviously we need 100% stable android builds before we start flashing full rom's.

Windows mobile I'm sure will be history for HD2 owners.... well atleast for the ones that know how

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordanjackthomas:
Sprint HTC Hero

DarchDroid v2.8

Recovery: RA-Darchstar (v1.7... I think)

PRL: 60667

I bought this phone last week, rooted it, and attempted three or four different ROMs before settling on DarchDroid (which is awesome, by the way!). I was initially having issues with multiple FCs and it eventually became unusable until I read up that my device might not be able to handle the OC to 710mhz. I installed the OC widget and throttled it down and now it works like a champ and is still WAY faster than the stock 2.1 ROM. I am still having issues though, that hopefully, somebody can help me with or point me in the right direction. I've spent the last hour scouring almost all parts of the forum and can't find any answers to these issues. Forgive me if I looked them over...

1) All incoming calls go directly to VM. I can make calls and send / receive texts, but no incoming voice calls.

The next one is a two-parter...

2a) The phone will occasionally become so sluggish (borderline non-operational) that I need to reboot it. When I do, I clear the cache and it will reboot then function normally. Could this be a result of a widget that I have installed? (OC widget, battery monitor?)

2b) When I reboot the phone without booting into recovery (normal reboot) it goes into a continuous boot loop. When I try to restore my Nandroid, it still boot loops and I have to wipe and re-flash the ROM. Is this normal?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Have you tried re-flashing the ROM? Sometimes that fixes some of these kinds of issues....occasionally a ROM install won't go perfectly and simply wiping everything then reinstalling can correct some issues.

2b) Those bootloops you're getting are almost definitely because your phone can't boot at OC speeds. Even though you've scaled down the CPU with the OC widget, that doesn't actually take effect until after the phone has already booted and gone through its start-up processes. So until then, the kernel is making the phone boot at 710 or maybe even 768mhz, which it looks like your phone can't handle. Search through the Development forum and look for one of the 691mhz kernels -- flashing that may fix these bootloops for you.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teedo757:
I had the same issue with the latest Fresh Rom so I ended up switching to Zen Hero and have never had a FC on an incoming call since. I tried all the fixes for Fresh and never had any luck. I would suggest trying another rom.

p.s. I was able to OC the rom also and it still works fine.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordanjackthomas:
Thanks for the advice. I ended up biting the bullet and calling Sprint and it turns out all that was needed was a refresh on my account, the phone works like a champ now! I'm using the OC widget and throttled it down to 595mhz, and even OC'd that little bit, it still BLAZES when compared to the Pre that I came from. No hitches or waiting - when I open a program or app, IT ACTUALLY OPENS QUICKLY... an amazing concept!

One more question though: in case I need to reboot, is there a way to save all of my phone settings? I already moved all of my apps to the SD card so I don't have to download them again, but it would be really helpful if I could just load a save file that would re-set my settings to the way I had them before. Is there an app or setting in the ROM for that?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
Make a nandroid backup through recovery. It saves every little detail of your phone and if you ever need to go back to that you can simply restore that backup. Titanium Backup is another popular tool but I've never used it myself so I don't know anything about it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzaiderman:
this is a hot topic in the dev section, you're not alone
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
The reason there's not going to be 4G until CM6.1 is because:

1) A lot of people got the encryption certificates (the magical files which tell Clearwire to let your phone connect) screwed up when they updated with the second OTA,

2) HTC has not released the source code for anything relating to 4G,

3) 4G doesn't work like WiFi, which is mostly managed in the kernel, but is instead managed in "userspace" (think of it as the equivalent of the System account vs. your account on Windows) which is all the harder to reverse engineer.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
ok, if i understand you, you want to downgrade from teh official 2.13 rom to the official 2.10 rom?

If so, go to the tmous section, find the 'test and stock roms' thread, download 2.10.0 rom (not 2.10.1) and flash it. Job done.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ChiGGz:
There is a Desire thread that talks about calibrating your battery whenever you flash the ROM. Basically try to charge it up multiple times in a row after it just finishes, reset the phone data, and charge it up again.

But my situation, I have 3 batteries that I cycle through, and they get charged from an external battery charger (so not in the phone).

So does calibrating my battery really matter in this case?

Should I ideally just use one battery and charge that one inside the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
there is a SGS topic as well for the same thing

no, it wont matter, since our batteries always starts at 100%

it only matters if you charge the battery inside the phone.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jason1978:
Hi,

Not sure if this is mean't to go in here, so apologies firstly if it isn't.

My friend has a Samsung Galaxy S Android phone and from Stock 2.1 he gets a score of about 800 from Quadrant. He looked on the forums and noticed a post for a fix to do with application lagging here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=760571

This is an APK which appears to install a EXT2 partition on the internal SD card/memory. This increased the Quadrant score to over 2100, not so far from 3 times the score without the fix. The ROM itself has not changed, he still has stock installed, but his phone was rooted to do this.

My Desire now looks feeble in comparison to the Galaxy, with a score of around 1100 in Quadrant. I am running the LeeDroid ROM and have the latest radio installed.

I don't know enough about the make up of the two phones or enough experience of Linux to know if this is possible on the Desire. If someone can get a similar performance increase in the Desire, that would be amazing.... Any ideas?

Thanks

Jason
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeandjaimie:
are you using Lee's 1.9a ROM? if so, it addded a new default governeur(sp?) for setCPU that's interactive.. when you first run quadrant, it'll always show a low score cause the CPU runs slow, then ramps up as it's needed.. Run the test a few times back to back, and see the score rise. I'm getting into the mid to high 1300's steady after running it a couple times to get the CPU up there.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpSpin:
Have you read the FAQ?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7620940&postcount=2

There he explains what this fix is and why it works and why it probably only really works on the Galaxy

PS: your Quadrant score is pretty low, I get about 1500-1600 without overclocking. However the Galaxy S haas a faster hardware.

Tried to downgrade to original SPL ( h ttp://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Downgrade_Guide_-_HTC_Dream ) after installing Cyanogen, uploaded it on the phone and applied. After a reebot the phone wouldn't boot. Just the ROGERS logo. Can't get to recovery mod either. The phone is not dead, charges perfectly normal. What could be the problem and how to fix it?
[G1 General] ezterry:
The "original" T-Mobile "g1" spl nor the adp1 spl has nothing to do with the original rogers spl..

Since the other original spls don't work on a 3.x radio you now are the proud owner of a brick..

The correct way to unroot a rogers dream is with the official nbh for the 911 upgrade.. and the spl of the update is 1.33.0010 (with the same partition layout as danger 1.33.2005)

Oh and it can be fixed.. see jtag links in my sig. You will be an expert of the dream/magic boot chain after reading all of the wiki and all of the threads it links to posts in..

Hey,

Really thinking of getting this phone. I'm in the UK, had an iPhone 2g then 3g and just generally sick of how slow it is now.

I'm really liking the idea of Android and how creative you can be with the customisation, so figured I'd switch. I'd like to try out creating some Apps, haven't delved into programming for a year or two.

1) Is the GPS thing really that bad? I only really use it for finding shops near where I am, such as Starbucks or wherever.

2) Are there any emulators that work on the SGS and what's the performance like? I have one on my 3G and it's not too bad provided I restart every 5minutes. :(

3) I really like the look of LauncherPro, and the default Android interface, over TouchWiz. Is there anyway to get rid of it? Or are you stuck with it?

4) What's the battery life like?

5) And the music player? :o Well, media in general. I'd like to throw some movies/tv shows on it, what's the codec support like?

Thank youu!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
1. GPS works, if you are not picky about point blank accuracy

2. Gameboy, Playstation, Sega, Nintendo family, Master System, etc, yes they all work very nicely see App Section topics

3. yes you can swap it for whatever you like

4. Not so great if you are like me, i keep all the features on, the battery last 1/2 a day

5. superb out of the box, mkv, avi, mp3, mp4, divX, etc, etc, etc....

will see what happens.. if successful then will try to do the Tomahawk Rom.. (Many thanks for your hard work!)

but each and every time... after applying a ROM, I would do a reset and it would lock up.. after the bar reached 100% last night it sat overnight..

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dgourd:
I have been trying to spoof my mac address on my phone. I am a pen tester so please don't lecture me on the ethics behind this because I know. It is very simple to do on linux, so I thought it would be possible on Android.

I installed busybox and terminal emulator and ran the su command. So far, i can run 'busybox ip link set eth0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX' 'busybox ip link set eth0 broadcast XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX'. Everytime I do this, it changes the mac address, but breaks the wifi functionality. The only way to fix the wifi was to disable, then re-enable it, but that resets the wifi. I was wondering if we could colaborate on this and maybe get somewhere.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dgourd:
I have also seen this somewhere, but am not sure if it will work.

ip link set address NEWMAC dev eth0
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] skorm:
Sorry for digging out this old thread, but I was trying the same and failing in the same way as you were.

The only difference is, I do not change the broadcast address, because imo this should remain on "all FF" (please tell me, why the broadcast should be set to the new MAC).

If I change it and fire up 'ip link show eth0', it shows the changed MAC.

The settings menu still shows the real MAC.

As in your case, the WiFi-connection (naturally) terminates (the router (access point) cannot know about the change). If I try to reconnect to the router, I get the error that my password is wrong. When checking the router's log, I see an entry about a failed connection attempt from the changed MAC address.

The only explanation I have is that the WPA2 encryption somehow incorporates the actual "real" MAC address so the encryption fails and as a consequence the connection is refused.

So-far, I haven't tried it without encryption.

Another question would be, what exactly is executed, when you activate WIFI on the phone? Which script?

I know that the network device (in my case "eth0") is created at this point.

If WIFI is down, no such device exists.

I would suspect some script that creates the interface, activates it and starts a demon that handles the connection stuff.

Maybe it would help to inject the spoof code after the interface was created, but before it is activated? So-far, I couldn't identify the correct script/command. Does anyone know?

Knowing the command that creates the network interfaces would also help when searching for the script.
