Great news Bangsters, I can't wait to see what the new release contains!
[HD2 Android SD Development] flarestarwingz:
Yep, looking forward to it!
[HD2 Android SD Development] donsalari:
By far the best android ROM.

Respect.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mrbox23:
Finally 1.6! :) right on! great work 1.5 is my daily use android. mad respect for your build bangsters.........
[HD2 Android SD Development] x0a:
I can't wait the new release. ;-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] simeezee:
thanks bangsters.
[HD2 Android SD Development] michaelkecia:
Waiting for the 1.6...Can't wait...I've tried many builds and I've remained with Bangsters through it all....Thanks....Much appreciated....
[HD2 Android SD Development] k3nmill3r:
Agreed, I don't like Sense and Bangsters makes the nicest ROM without it that I have seen
[HD2 Android SD Development] donsalari:
I just have one problem. I have changed the dpi to 200. With this the font seem to be small and everything else is perfect.

If i change the font size with spare parts(to large), it doesn't make a difference. So how do i do it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dortok:
how come when I transfer files in Android via USB I have to restart the phone to actually use them, however with other builds (I've only tried sense builds), I can use the files without the need to reboot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] polo735:
Just boot wm for mass storage. One of the benefits of still having wm on device.
[HD2 Android SD Development] emanon:
Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to write a bash shell script and put in gscript to change the kornel like we do with network switch script. If so can someone give me a hand with script as I'm not good with sed or awk. Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android SD Development] zergling1:
did u "safely remove the usb from pc" i had the same problem when i did it without just unplugging it but waiting until it said it was safe to remove usb then it started working without rebooting.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bangsters:
LAUNCHING 1.6 TONIGHT. Stay tuned!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] prosumerhacks:
KOOOOL!!! :) TGIF guys!!!! :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] reubenbubu:
Wuhuww !!!!!!!!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Ironsave:
Nice. As your build has been as good as Darky's last; Hoping this is even closer to perfection...... Very excited :)

Also, I (and many others) are glad to see an update from you; Your work is consistantly top notch.

We really do appreciate the good chefs like you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mrbox23:
Bring it on baby! :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] bangsters:
yeah sorry for the delay and lack of posts.... i didn't want to release a half hearted build lol.... and add work to it and bam....

but yeah tonight's the night!!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] dortok:
tried this but doesn't work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] InitialG:
Can't wait :-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] stanleyrw:
Nice work Bangsters!!!

Just switched from Hyperdroid/AMU to try a new build and I'm loving it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DavidX_07:
what's that clock widget on third screenshot (1st post) ??
[HD2 Android SD Development] jae-v:
will you include letema's wrapper fix for ppp?
[HD2 Android SD Development] JoeSzymkowicz:
Can't wait bangsters keep up the amazing work
[HD2 Android SD Development] Mr Cadillac:
I tried almost all the Android roms from xda, now it's time to give yours a try. What's the perfect kernel for the 1.5 rom?

Succes with the 1.6 Rom!
[HD2 Android SD Development] emanon:
Hi bangster,

Do you know if it is possible to write a bash shell script and put in gscript to change the kornel like we do with network switch script. If so can you tell me the syntax. Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android SD Development] bangsters:
that'll be in 1.6 :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] bangsters:
that is vatch clock widget. it's available in vatch grey vatch white and vatch black. it's my clock of choice
[HD2 Android SD Development] mattfmartin:
What's up Bangsters. Long time no speakie. Can't wait to try out your new build later on. That is after I get three sheets to the wind:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] prosumerhacks:
isnt it already time?!!! ;):D
[HD2 Android SD Development] mrbox23:
No 1.6 yet? :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] bangsters:
lol i fell asleep lol... i'm working on finishing it today and uploading today.... sorry guys took a short nap, ended up waking in the morning
[HD2 Android SD Development] ktran1588:
.

LOL Bangsters, as much as we want the build, we also want you to be alive to keep it up to date too lol :p. Don't pressure yourself. Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] PENKO956:
still waiting for 1.6... :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Ironsave:
Seriously.....??????

Bangsters does not owe you or us ANYTHING.

Why are you posting that you are "still waiting"?

If he never uploads and updates the thread; that is HIS CHOICE; you have no right to demand or apply pressure.

Did you learn what the word "patience" means?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patience

Geez......
[HD2 Android SD Development] reubenbubu:
Calm down.... Calm down...;);)
[HD2 Android SD Development] simeezee:
lol take it easy. dude just said he's waiting. no biggie.
[HD2 Android SD Development] 619619:
Yeah, he's waiting because he cares, like me, dunno what's the problem :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] Ironsave:
We have lost various good Chefs recently.

I think in part due to posts such as "This does not work.... WAAAAHHHH!!!!" and "Still waiting"....

I would hate for one of the best (Bangsters) to stop updating as well......

I think everyone needs to be a bit more respectful to the Chefs and Devs regarding this......

Bangsters already explained what happened (He did not need to do so)..... and then to get a "still waiting".... To me it is disrespectful.

Everyone needs to remember this stuff is a HOBBY for many people..... including the Chefs and Devs......
[HD2 Android SD Development] jae-v:
wow lol...
[HD2 Android SD Development] PENKO956:
WOW! all I said was I was waiting. I know Bangsters can upload or not. I love his work. Best built out there by FAR.

but thanks for teaching me what "patience" means...LOL:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] norpan111:
I really love all of you guys xD you always make my day! The roms is just a bonus ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] PENKO956:
"still waiting" does not mean disrespectful.

"still waiting" = I can't wait!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Ironsave:
Sorry....

"Still waiting"(to most) = I have been waiting too long and am now impatient; Hurry up already; Waaahhhhhh!!!!!"

"I can't wait!"= I am excited and looking forward to this build.

I do not wish to detract from Bangster's thread further. (Also disrespectful).....

Back to topic please......
[HD2 Android SD Development] JoeSzymkowicz:
This is a good time to start a "Donate To Bangsters" run. Donate to show your appreciation. Just donated because he's the best Android-on-HD2 chef out there.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Frameshift:
QFT!

I'll donate as soon as my paycheck arrives. I've been using this build since 1.3, and its just amazing. Im finally gonna express my gratitude by making a donation. You'll see something seen bangsters!
[HD2 Android SD Development] polstein:
I've been using matt's froyo w/sense 1.8 until now. But the ppp drop lock ups are painful (even with Hastarin & ppp fix). Looking for a possible alternative now, and I see rmnet is available for this version.

I'm just looking for some comparison's while we wait for the new version, which I plan to try.

I actually use launcher pro as my home, but I do like Sense for Mail & Messaging & Contacts (you can use them even with Launcherpro). What do you guys use for contacts/mail/sms? Any way to get sense sms/mail into this version?
[HD2 Android SD Development] donsalari:
Any idea yet?
[HD2 Android SD Development] a.key:
I guess it aint gonna happen tonight....

But maybe...

Sitting at the hospital and waiting for my baby to come out but at the same time for bangster's build next incarnation...
[HD2 Android SD Development] mattfmartin:
Wow. That's dedication right there.
[HD2 Android SD Development] elFahd:
sweet! I wish your baby a healthy life, boy or girl?
[HD2 Android SD Development] mattfmartin:
I made a time capsule for my future son with directions on how to install 1.6 when it comes out.

HeHe J/K:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] tinuz97:
Bangie is back.....

Wooooooooo lol
[HD2 Android SD Development] a.key:
The baby - Matylda got out at 4:28 am uk time so...

She's First ;).

Now waiting just for Bangsters.

Big ups!
[HD2 Android SD Development] chrisrj28:
Congrats, I have two kids myself and the joy of their births was indescribable. Nice to see your priorities are straight, baby then 1.6 lol.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ronyalam:
..............
[HD2 Android SD Development] cczupich:
Thank You

Hey bangster,

Just wanted to say how much i appreciate all the hard work your doing. This is the only build that i stay with since its the most reliable. All the other devs are getting a little out of control with all these other special builds. You make it simple but powerful. Just wanted to say thank you. And any luck with the finishing touches on 1.6. Must be a doozy.
[HD2 Android SD Development] prosumerhacks:
haha!! this is as good as asking for eta? :D anyways, Bangster... pls give us an update... for all your eager fans out here in xda.... :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] adrian.mkl.86:
my heart can't handle the suspense anymore...there's only one thing that can make things better ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] dortok:
How do you update the Google Maps program? Everytime I try to update it, it restarts Android and Maps doesn't get updated.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Ironsave:
Try unmounting your SD card first; after update; remount; then reboot Android.....

If that does not work, you may need to wipe; reformat and reinstall......
[HD2 Android SD Development] dortok:
thanks, worked!
[HD2 Android SD Development] ericksan:
So, 5 days later, what happened?
[HD2 Android SD Development] whynot66:
Bet people are fighting with them selves to not jump on you and flame away for asking but everyone else me included are curios as to when we can install 1.6 so there leaving your question open :-) a heads up would be greatly appreciated Mr bangster :-)

Sent from my hd2 desire
[HD2 Android SD Development] reubenbubu:
he probably found some issues he's still fixing in his limited time...

he also probably wants to live up to his standard (and our expectation) of releasing the best build around :p

just my thoughts
[HD2 Android SD Development] PENKO956:
Waiting in suspense....Mr Bangsters please kindly update your followers...
[HD2 Android SD Development] azzzz:
I hope everything is okay with Bangsters.
[HD2 Android SD Development] polo735:
1.5, paired with the latest mdj and hastarin kernels, is near perfect. Don't rush the next release as the current version is highly usable.
[HD2 Android SD Development] x0a:
He was at last online: Yesterday 03:01 PM
[HD2 Android SD Development] thehumble1:
I don't get why people want it earlier. Maybe he should just change the font on 1.5 and call it 1.6 so people will shut up and be happy. The point is that he doesn't have a release date and doesn't need one. He's not releasing the iPhone 5.

For people that can't wait, why not buy another SD card for $12 and install other builds? I have 5 cards and can optimize and test 5 diff. builds. Bangsters is the best IMO, but I don't need to sit around whining about it not showing up because I can work on something else.

I sure hope that everyone who is asking for a release date is donating to him.
[HD2 Android SD Development] chrisrj28:
Off topic but love your Avatar, that youtube vid is pretty awesome
[HD2 Android SD Development] emanon:
My point exactly v1. 5 near perfect built with multiple kornel to choose from & you can always update the kornel of choice.

PS not bashing anybody just a thought.

Regards...
[HD2 Android SD Development] dortok:
if anyone is interested, swap the system.ext2 from here and get CM 6.1

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824601

works nice.
[HD2 Android SD Development] prosumerhacks:
been doing that my friend... :) its an excellent combination... ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] PENKO956:
do I just swap the system.ext2 file or do i have to reformat/reinstall with new system.ext2. Also what other files do I have to switch. What kernel works best with this setup. thanks in advance
[HD2 Android SD Development] dortok:
u just have to swap the file, thats all. if you made any tweaks to the system files, you may have to redo those (for example i changed some of the key mappings).

i use hastarin 8.2, it works well. hastarin 8.3 and 8.4 doesn't have a working camera for CM builds.
[HD2 Android SD Development] polo735:
I tried swapping that ext2 and it hung on white htc screen when booting. Should I wait it out or is something wrong?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dortok:
Thats strange. Which kernel? Maybe try rebooting.

I previously said Hastarin 8.4 won't work with the camera, but actually it does if you also use the camera files that Michy included in his CM6.1 build.

Just copy over the camera files from root/system/lib and root/system/app to your sdcard... Michy included them in his latest version so that the camera will work with the newest kernels.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JoeSzymkowicz:
Trying to use Bangster v1.5 with Hastarin 8.4. It just keeps restarting on boot.

Does this look correct?

set cmdline "rel_path=Android nand_boot=0 data_size=1024 lcd_res=240 conn_type=rmnet kernel_type=evo gps_zone=us"
[HD2 Android SD Development] emanon:
Try changing the kernel_type=custom
[HD2 Android SD Development] dortok:
Ya change kernel_type=custom, and also i THINK you have to do conn_type=ppp. i can't remember if there has been rmnet support for evo based kernels yet.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jae-v:
wow your right camera doesn't work...just got a reset starting up camera 360 lol
[HD2 Android SD Development] jae-v:
change kernel type to custom and make sure you recopy the files over again because not putting in custom should over write the changes
[HD2 Android SD Development] dortok:
If you use the camera files from the 6.1 build, then the camera will work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jae-v:
i'm downloading the archive right now v4 correct? i replaced the camera file in system/app/ and also the ex2 same issue...what files am i missing?
[HD2 Android SD Development] azzzz:
I just started to use my Bangster again and remembered why I switch build to MDJ. My battery dies every single time around 10%. I did the recalibrate and remove batterystat.bin to no avail. I also got a lot of TS freezes but MDJ's newest kernel solve that. I really love this Build though as it's faster IMO than MDJ's build (browsing the web anyway).

Am I the only one experiencing this battery problem? When I switch over to MDJ's build, I didn't experience any of the battery problem. Any advice? I'm thinking of re-downloading his v1.5 and start fresh, copying over the data.img only.
[HD2 Android SD Development] azzzz:
Do we know if these files work with MDJ's kernel or only MICHy's kernel? Thx
[HD2 Android SD Development] polo735:
I tried this with mdj s6 kernel. It would hang at white htc screen every time.
[HD2 Android SD Development] emanon:
You might wanna try again cause this is near perfect built. Didn't hear about any problems like that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dortok:
it's not michy's kernel. its hastarins 8.4 kernel that it works with. Its the new evo kernels that use the new camera libraries. Michy included these libraries in his latest CM6.1 build.

You also need the 5 camera lib files in system/lib/
[HD2 Android SD Development] JoeSzymkowicz:
Finally got everything sorted out. Thanks to those who helped me.

I went with Bangsters 1.5 + Hastarins 8.4 kernel + Michyprima CM6.1 fs update and camera libs and apk. So far so good. It should keep me busy while Bangsters finishes 1.6

UPDATE: NVM used "Search" button HERP DERP.
[HD2 Android SD Development] thehumble1:
hey Jay, was it as easy as it seems? Build out the SD card with Bangsters as normal, then replace the system.ext2 file with the CM61 nightly, then add Hastarin's kernel and change the startup.txt file (custom, ppp). Then move the camera apk and lib files over to the root directory, so they are merged into the system on boot. Did you do this all on one boot, or did you have parts of it running earlier? Also any idea if LaTema's wrapper ppp drop fix will work with this setup? Also I didn't think that the new camera apk and lib files work with CM builds. Have you tried the camera? Maybe the newest CM nightly is set up for this now. Maybe I should read more. . .

NOTE: don't follow these steps because they may be wrong. I'm just asking if it's as easy as it seems. Thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] ktran1588:
Lol after doing all of that, this is not a Bangsters build any more lol. The main thing about the build it the system.ext2 image. Once you swap that with Michyprima CN6.1, technically you are using that build now... FYI if you run to any problem report to Michyprima thread instead because it's a better place.

As for Bangsters, hope everything still going well. Cannot wait for your next update :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] dortok:
Yes they are the right steps. The main key is replacing the camera apk and lib files from the ones included in the CM6.1 build and NOT from hastarin's 8.4. This is how you get the working camera.
[HD2 Android SD Development] thehumble1:
Yeah I figured out that after removing the system.ext2 file it was essentially changed except for the mess with the different Kernels, which I didn't want. I wanted Hastarin's 8.4

michyprima's Autobuilder from 11/18 along with hastarin's 8.4 gives a stable build that's probably the most up to date.

@dortok Thanks for the feedback. I was stuck for a bit on which camera files to use because this is EVO, not Nexus One or Desire but in the end I didn't need to mess with the camera at all as the nightly builds now have it all in there already. I just popped in Hastarin's kernel and booted. Of course I'm not on Bangsters anymore. Essentially I just upgraded myself out of it piecemeal. I'll be back again after the update.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Blaggah:
Thanks for the apn settings mate..
[HD2 Android SD Development] azzzz:
I need some serious help. So I decided to go with MDJ's smartass kernel with my Bangster. Everything else is working properly except my camera. MDJ's camera app is for HTC camera only so it won't work on this build. Hastarin's camera is meant for EVO, will it work for this CM6 build? Anyone out there with MDJ's kernel who got the camera to work, please help! Much thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] polo735:
Im using mdj s6 with bangsters and camera works.
[HD2 Android SD Development] azzzz:
Can you please explain your step up make it work? Or explain your process of updating the kernel and which (if there's any) files you put into the system to make it work...much thx for replying...now I know there's hope...
[HD2 Android SD Development] polo735:
I just downloaded mdj kernel direct to hd2. unzipped with androzip. used root explorer to put all the files in their correct folders within the android folder. Just put everything in the right place. Backup your existing zimage and root folder.
[HD2 Android SD Development] a.key:
Hey Bangsters...

Long time no word from ya...

R u ok there?
[HD2 Android SD Development] azzzz:
Got CM6.1 on my phone. Instead of keeping Bangster's build, I Download HD2ONE and just put my data.img file into the android folder, set it to hastarin kernel. It boots up properly and all my data came up intact. Camera is working too. yay!
[HD2 Android SD Development] JoeSzymkowicz:
I was having troubles with my Bangsters + michyCM6.1 + Hastarin combo :(. So I decided to just install the whole MichyPrimaCM6.1 build; it's been amazing. Anyone bored with your Bangster 1.5 build and looking for something new but still rock solid, give it a try.
[HD2 Android SD Development] a.key:
To be honest guys...

It doesn't seem right to even mention here that you are mixing bangsters build with some one else's parts. I feel your pain but I think that its not fair to Bangsters to write about abusing his built.
[HD2 Android SD Development] holychris885:
i think it and you write it...^^
[HD2 Android SD Development] azzzz:
I feel the same but just want to let others know of ways to upgrade To cm6.1 while keeping our data intact. this is just temporary for me. Once his new version come out, I'm coming right back . :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] PENKO956:
By the way if your still using bangsters1.5 (which I am for daily use) you may want to try [KERNEL][18.11.10] MDJ s6.1... I get 3ma on idle with 3g on and with these setting:

setcpu profile I use for best battery:

main 998 max - 245 min smartass scaling

Screen off: 245 max, 245 min - Priority=100

Battery temp >104: 806 max, 245 min - Priority=90

Battery <10: 245 max, 245 min - Priority=80

Battery <20: 384 max, 245 min - Priority=70

Battery <30: 768 max, 245 min - Priority=60

Charging/Full: 998 max, 245 min - Priority=50

no need to OC works very fast and stable this way

spareparts :

windows animation set to :fast

Transition animation set to : fast

Window Rom: VBNROM *Reloaded 2*

SPL: 2.08 HSPL

Radio : 2.14.50.04
[HD2 Android SD Development] mrbox23:
F

One other thing would be delete the gmaps apk (com.google.maps.apk or whatever)from androidapps folder, if its not there itl be in system/app folder. restart and get it again from market.
[HD2 Android SD Development] polo735:
I wouldn't bother with set cpu profiles using mdj's s6 kernel with smartass governor. I'm getting 3mA standby without profiles.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Frameshift:
I have to that Im getting a little worried... Haven't heardanything from the man for quite some time now... Hope nothing bad or anything has happened to Bangsters...
[HD2 Android SD Development] emanon:
I guess it happened what happens to all men with family, no time busy life, so little time and so much to do.

PS. Happy Thanks Giving to those who’s celebrating …
[HD2 Android SD Development] Pretorianbg:
When i flash this android build and later check the version etc, it says Bangsters 1.4 and i have downloaded 1.5. What am i doing wrong ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] polo735:
Version 1.5 still says 1.4. It wasn't updated. Nothing to worry about.
[HD2 Android SD Development] x0a:
The last days I have tried many different up-to-date CM Android Roms and I came to the conclusion that Bangster is still the best and will ever be the best. ;-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] PENKO956:

[HD2 Android SD Development] zergling1:
Hey I can't get streetview in Google maps to install...any suggestions
[HD2 Android SD Development] Frameshift:
Not officialy, but I have no idea where bangsters is lately. He announced an update about a month ago, but hasnt been heard from since... Which is why Im still worried.
[HD2 Android SD Development] reubenbubu:
I used to love the bangsters build, and I truly believed that there wont be another solid non-sense ui build, however i have been shopping around some builds lately and i'm very happy with JDMS 1.6 it is really fast, 2700 on quadrant... however it comes with a black-red theme which personally i don't mind however i would understand that it might not fit some people's taste :-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] chrisrj28:
I am hoping that perhaps it's nothing bad with the chef being absent, as a dad I know how time consuming a new baby is. Perhaps he has been waiting for a Gingerbread release or new CM?

Either way the current 1.5 is still more than stable enough and I am happy with it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Gary.M:
If you want to check on Bangster send him a donation and see if he replies... also I recall his Paypal email address links to the domain of his business.
