[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] engelsione:
I have been out of the scenery for a while. Is the Android development completed that is 100% working on the HD2?

I didnt want to install something that was not totally developed.

Is it running now?

although my phone is working just fine with Winmo.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KrewsialNL:
Are you serious?

Did you even read before coming back into the 'scene'??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
As of 29 August it is daily usable with these missing features/problems:

- No internal memory (NAND) boot yet.

- Auto Backlight (light sensor) is not working. (But fix is posted in git)

- There are frequent touchscreen freezes if phone is moving and autorotate is NOT disabled.

- Battery calibration might be problematic.

- PPP data is not stably working for everyone. (RMNET data is also slow beucase of mtu workaround)

- Some people still complain about some BT devices.

- Wifi hotspot not working yet. (It is made but not yet posted)

- USB tethering works with rmnet but not with ppp yet.

- Call volume/speakerphone volume may be lower than optimal.

- clrcad.exe in winmo is still required for sound in android.

- Background audio may affect call audio.

- Compass is off.

- Some people complainig about gps not locking, but is probably because of data not working properly.

I think all these are unimportant and current builds are daily usable with the workarounds. (autorotate=off most important)

Thanks.....Hmm.....as much as I love my HD2, and with Winmo is running 100% perfect! why add Android wich is at 80% functional on HD2.

Android.....might as well get an Android phone.

As for me;......my hd2 will stay with my Kumar's Rom and shell 3.5.5 and running on win 6.5.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] veda_sticks:
because android on the hd2 while not 100% perfect, is better than most native devices.

not to mention that apps like

camera 360

snap photo pro

retro camera

wide arrange of sound boards

wide range of home replacements

DB meter

Spectrum anyliser

its a complelty new and so much more fun phone, that is no longer limited to closed software that costs a fortune.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azzzz:
I honestly don't believe winmo on HD2 is 100%...If we want to say 100% working, I would boldly say that winmo is NOT 100%...It works but still got it's own set of problems...I have problems left and right, even after switching roms...HTC touchflo not working properly, messaging glitches, constant reboot to remedy lockups...I just got fed up...Put on Android...Not everything works but the majority of it work and that's good enough...I only go back to WinMo for GPS (android got this working already) and transfering BIG file (movies, tv shows, etc)...

One thing for sure about Android is not experiencing lockups...I almost NEVER reboot android. In a week, Android is used 90% of the time and 10% on WinMO...This is just the opinion of a single person (ME) but I'm sure many felt the same way too.

So to recap, there's no such thing as PERFECT. WinMO on HD2 aint perfect and so does Android on HD2, but Android on the Galaxy S, Nexus One and Droid aint perfect either.....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qipengart:
No build is ever 100% perfect not even the iPhone in fact.

The Android is pretty much 90% (or less dependent on build) for me for everyday use. I enjoy mattc's Nexus One build a lot since I can dial down the 3G to EDGE in fact.

I am testing a lot of crazy builds but I prefer the Desire and Nexus One (the latter especially) the most for the builds. Using Dutty's ROM at the moment to see whether I get extended battery life.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GbrilliantQ:
This^

I've switched to Android 2.2 on my HD2, for one reason of the Marketplace. Apps for Android are just so much better.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] OCedHrt:
Awesome summary, thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Spl4tt:
my hd2 is still heating up like **** when using android, i hate that!

im not gonna use android fulltime as long this isnt fixed :/

and the touchscreen freezes are fking up everything too, disabling autorotate is a no go, cause i dont know another way to rotate the screen, and im only writing in landscape..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] veda_sticks:
this is fixed, if yoiu would just read the damn forums.

Install setcpu. sorted, the cpu is now scaled depending on how much processiong power is needed. it ramps down to 250mhz when screen is off or when not much is needed, and it scales upto 998mhz when it needs full power.

i run android 90% of the time now, it only gets hot when im charging (which is normal) or im running something processor intensive (which is also normal, same happens in winmo) leave it alone and it cools down
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] imperiallight:
I can't wait until the HD2 boots the Android Rom natively and we can remove all traces of the archaic Windows Mobile.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Spl4tt:
im sry, im reading the forums and even saw that with setcpu, but nobody told that it fixes the heating problem :P

Hi guys first post, so no flaming. (your found of flaming here !!)

I have been running Andriod on my hd2 for 2 weeks now, and it works prefectly, Super fast, battery us lasting around 18hrs, same as on stock rom. But the most important feature is that it saved my HD2 from the bin. It really is different beast and for the first time in six months I have enjoyed being a HD2 Owner.

FroyoStone Sense - Version 3.1

i use this version without any problem everything working

and there is no touch freeze or anything

you can use it in your daily life
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mp1963:
Anyone else use this navigation software ?

I used it on my Hero without any major problems. It took them an age to get a Froyo version sorted out. Put it on my Nexus One. Its now an excellent example of how to write totally non functional code! I am unable to download maps via the built in map downloader. A definite step backwards by ALK Technologies.

As for any kind of support, that's as useless as their software!

So, unless someone here call prove to me otherwise, stay well clear of this software. Take heed of the comments on the Market about it too.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kam187:
Hmm works fine for me. You just need to turn on wifi before downloading maps through the app.

What exactly is the problem when you try?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mp1963:
My wifi is on permanently if i am at home or at the office. The maps never download. There is no indication they are downloading either, no progress bar at all. What phone are you running it on ? A Nexus One ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kam187:
Yeah a nexus one...

Once you pass all the setup screens and get into co-pilot (with no map), go menu get maps, or updates. Its one of those options. Then you'll see the progress bar.

For some reason or another the download is probably being interupted. Maybe you let your phone sleep and wifi turns off?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mp1963:
Ok will try it yet again. Thanks for the help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mp1963:
CoPilot 8 .. utterly useless!!

Ok so today I tried to reinstall CoPilot 8 on my Nexus One.

This software is awful! Firstly I was unable to install the voice I wanted, just said File Error. Sorted that out by choosing a different voice. Then tried to download UK maps. Failed every time. Made sure Wifi did not go to sleep just to make sure.

Figured it was time to send emails of complaint to Head Office in the USA. Interestingly enough every single published contact email address for that company bounces... odd eh ? Have given up on CoPilot and doubt I will ever get my money back.

To every one else, think long and hard before you waste your money.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kam187:
When you bought it through market you should have got a license/activation email from 'alkservices@alk.com'

Send them an email and it'll automatically create a trouble ticket which they'll respond to.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mp1963:
I have lost count of the number of times I have "raised a ticket" with ALK. Interestingly the moment they reply (in any way, useful or not) they close the ticket. Pointless if the problem has not been resolved. They are very difficult to get in touch with (in a sensible way), perhaps this is deliberate? Given the very poor comments on the Market about this application I can understand their desire not to communicate with the many angry people who purchased this application and are unable to use it. I guess the next step is to send them a letter and if they still choose to do nothing I will pursue my refund through the UK small claims court system. Perhaps that will make them respond ? Its a shame because on my Hero the software worked reasonably well :-(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christiankk:
I've given up on that cr*p software :mad:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espeanage:
Works fine for me. My installation and setup process went very smooth.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kam187:
Its great when it works properly. I had an issue with license keys after I had a N1 replaced and they sorted it out pretty quickly. If you reply to the email the ticket is re-opened.

Having said that i've seen many complaints on the net about them. If you bought it on a credit card just threaten to charge it back. That'll kick them into gear.

The pattern i've found is that anything 'easy' to fix they handle well, anything obscure or that might take some diagnosis or thought and they keep fobbing you off hoping you'll give up.

Luckily google market has a 24 hour refund period.. if you have problems in setup just hit the refund button. A bit late for you now tho i guess.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanetPanic:
I am sorry you are having problems but it is not bad software. I was one of the REALLY early users and had to jump through substantial hoops to get maps installed. Once everything was running correctly though it has proven reliable and I have not had a problem since not related to me upgrading to an unsupported ROM.

Navigation is nice if you are in a well covered area for data but copilot has advantages in spottier areas. I use both depending on my mood and neither is crap.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liqn7:
Are there 2010 maps out for Copilot yet? I've run the latest auto update but I'm still getting 2009 ones :( .

It told me to turn into a wall yesterday :P
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salamandar:
Could not disagree with you more, I have had a few problems with downloads and activations (I am a frequent rom swapper), and each time theyre customer support was prompt and courteous. Performing account resets or offering advice about side loading maps downloaded using the copilot desktop software (which downloads MUCH faster FYI).

But the real kicker is go off cell grid some time (like camping which i do alot). Google maps will fail on you as it requires constant connection to reload a map if you leave the map screen at any time, Copilot stores maps on the SD card allowing me to find that odd rural route to the highway and re-enable Google maps with all my layers. Its a real life saver off the grid.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] braingravyuk:
I never had any issues with moving to Co-Pilot on the Nexus One (had it installed previously on my Hero). The only gripe I have with the software is that it doesn't disable the onboard speaker when routing audio to bluetooth :mad: end up with a echo, raised a ticket.. who knows if it will be fixed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I've been using a modified 800x600 version of MotoNav that actually works very very well. I think it was yanked out of *gasp* a motorola.

The reg uses one of those 876x600 or something resolutions which will run but will cut off the bottom.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldzer0:
I decided I wanted to just run the official firmware from t-mobile so I flashed the firmware from the HTC site (1.5 RUU for t-mobile). After I installed this it asked me to update (3.4mb file). From what I have read this is the small update before it updates to 2.1. When it had downloaded it reboots my phone to the update screen. It gets to the middle of the progress bar and freezes with the hazard warning sign. When I press home and endcall I get a message saying:

E: Failure at line 1 assert file_contains("System:build.prop", ... "ro.build.fingerprint=tmeu/htc_hero/hero/hero:1.5/CUPCAKE/15Installation aborted

I have tried re-flashing and hard resetting multiple times but cannot get it to update further. Can anyone help me please?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldzer0:
If this helps I was on 1.5 then rooted to 2.1 villainrom and then installed the rom above from the HTC website. I still cannot get my phone to update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idroid84:
Just go directly to the 2.1 if you don't want to customize, I can provide links. What country are you in? Is it the English version you want?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldzer0:
If you could post me a link to 2.1 that would be great. I can't find one :S

I am in the UK and would like the english one please. I have a HTC Hero and am on T-mobile

I still haven't fixed it D:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
So you have tried going back to the 1.5 rru file from support, then updating to the file it suggests and you get the error - why have you not contacted HTC and asked about the error message? You're on official software now.

It's not really worth doing it yourself. :P
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fortune090:
There's a deodexed rom in here somewhere.... I know a few of us were trying to port the Vibrant one over to the Captivate, but the creator of the Vibrant one did it for the Captivate. Just search in the Development section.

And btw, sturmeh, your avatar is amazing... hahaha
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Google is a wonderful tool - it saves one from many misconceptions:

From Droid Forum

De-odex: Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.

In simple terms de-odexing lets you easily theme things - I have never seen it mentioned in discussions on performance.

I have pushed a custom bootanimation.zip (Android Scribbler one) to both /data/local and /system/media, but the animation of the boot that I'm getting is still HTC's default.

Can somebody tell me what I did wrong? Or is it just not possible to change the bootanimation for the stock Wildfire ROM?

I have attached the custom bootanimation that I'm trying to use if that helps to identify the problem.

Thanks in advance.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] konna280:
unless you root your wildfire, im pretty sure your very limited to what you can do, unless it is in the form of an app, and even then i dont think bootscreens are possible on the stock rom!!!
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] ryandi7:
I got it working. Apparently the real bootanimation.zip that you need to replace is stored in system/customize/resource
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] radu_brd00:
how did you replace the original bootanimation.zip ? i'm trying to replace it using AndExplorer and it won't let me ... my device is rooted with unrevoked ...
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] kevin2516:
use adb and push the bootanimation.zip (which must be in the tools folder which is inside your android-sdk folder) to /system/customize/resource, /data/local, /system/media, i think you only need to push it to the first one, but i did all 3 just in case :P
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] ryandi7:
Yes you only need to push the first one
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] megafarey:
hi,

i have rooted my htc wildfire unrevoked root.. and im usind adb to push but its not working... its not copying... i tried to push some fonts too but not workin.. anyone help plx...

thanks
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] mcpat:
I got it to work. Either use bootanimation.zip and push it via adb or go into recovery and use my update.zip.

Update.zip also removes the bootsound ;)

Regards

MCPat

PS: works on stock rom, tested it on my wildfire

PPS: pushing with adb works only when phone is in recovery mode (=rw access on \system)

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] mcpat:
use the update.zip in recovery mode, then it will work for sure!

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] techspawn:
Nope, the update.zip does not work for me. I tried replacing it with the root explorer but all it does is reset the phone after I'm done copying it. I use WilpuzzleROM 0.7 and the boot animation is in 2 locations; /system/customize/resource and /data/local. Whether i push the zip file via adb to /system/customize/resource or use the update.zip it does not matter, the boot animation is still the same. It looks like the one from /data/local overwrites the one in /system/customize/resource. It worked only after i issued the command adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] mcpat:
Ok, for custom roms like yours, you have to find the correct location. otherwise my update.zip works for "standard" location.

regards

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] TF85:
Hello,

It can't change the original cyanogen bootanimation

no changes

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] krumcake:
I am totally new to android, but I decided to try to root my phone anyway, mostly to be able to access the eduroam network at my school.

1) I succeeded in rooting my x10mini using the exploid method (this took me two whole days because I was so scared to break my phone lol), but after I updated today, through PC companion, I seem to have lost root. Should I not accept SE updates? Do I just root it again the same way I did the first time?

2) I downloaded Market Access to be able to download Wifi Config Editor. After installing Market Access, if I try to download something off the market, it takes a couple of minutes before the download starts. Even when I am in my own country's market. Is this normal?

3) How do I stop the emulation of foreign SIM card? So far I have tried emulating my original provider or restarted the phone.

4) If someone calls me while I am emulating a foreign provider, will the call be more expensive or something?

5) I tried to directly change the wifi settings with professordes instructions in the original exploid thread

I copy-pasted steps 1-5 (I pasted the last step directly after the text in the cmd window). Since I am a noob, I didn't know how to save and exit, so I just closed the cmd window and unplugged usb...

BIG MISTAKE!

...After I restarted it, my phone was completely dead. After a one hour recharge in the wall socket, the phone worked again and it seems fine now.

So, could someone make a step-by-step (noob-)guide on how to successfully change the wifi settings with this metod?

6) Thank you in advance

-krumcake
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eseb0:
1 - Updating it removes the root, but you can simply re-root it the same way.

4 - That only applies to the market. It fools it into thinking you're using a SIM from a different country.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] stcardinal:
I think that is something to be worried about, but it's no different than running off a HD. Just be sure you are using a quality disk and you should be ok.

Every HD or flashdrive I've owned have failed at one point or another. So there's no point in really worrying about it because if it happens it happens.

I agree with the post above mine. But at the same time, its a mircoSD card, I spent 21 bux on 8g one, that i wont fill up anytime soon for personal phone reasons (the usb headset crashes my phone in winmo not risking in xdandroid). But at 21 bux you will be ok if the only thing that happens is your card gets fried.
