Yo Bangsters!

Thanks for your great work and effort. This convinced me to switch to your build! ;)

one Q: I downloaded the 1.3a version and the 1.3b this afternoon. After I saw that the patch file was already in the 1.3a version, same time and date (31/08/2010 / 21:32) as the one in the patch. Did you already converted it in the build?

cheers

[HD2 Android SD Development] potpeye:
I am currently testing Bangster v1.3b with PPP and AXI.

So far I can say this is now the best build for Android that I have used!!!

Using PPP I am now getting the same speeds as I would if I was using Windows Mobile 6.5.x.

PPP speeds:

4000-5000kbs download

1000-1400kbs upload

RMNET speeds:

2000-3000kbs downloads

100-256kbs uploads

Intersting thing to note to those who stating that thier connections is spotty when using PPP. What I notice especially when using the phones in buildings is my connection never switches to edge and continues to see 3G\H which we all know T-mobile 3G\H has a long range but poor penetration though walls.

So I discover if you in a building with poor 3g connections PPP 3G/H would show a good conenction when in acutally it is very very poor and never switches to edge. Forcing edge connection resolves this problem for me. Hey some internet is still better than no internet.

Last thing I did experience screen lockups at time when using PPP especially when enabling and disabling 3G/H but this isnt everytime and a reboot fixes it.

Great build everything else works flawless. (I do not use bluetooth so cannot comment on that)

I tried a first time and it worked. Now I just formatted my SD Card, copied the backup I made just before upgrading 1.3a to 1.3b (no custom kernel or custom build.prop), deleted default.prop and booted. Screen resolution doesn't change even if I don't see anymore the ***BANGSTERS*** part during the boot process.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mattfmartin:
Hey Bangsters what is that patch for in 1.3b
[HD2 Android SD Development] Ynotx3:
Tried 2.10 radio with the new patch and still get mad SOD. I use the following procedure a few pages back with it. So I end up reverting it back to 2.12 and no SODs what so ever. But I experience a few freezes here and there. Nothing major.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cam_hamlin:
This build is not working well for me...keeps freezing..there is a wallpaper bug ( it wont let me load a wallpaper) launcher pro is SLOW..ADW keeps force closing...I believe I'm done with this particular build...
[HD2 Android SD Development] k3nmill3r:
This build is awesome, updated to 1.3b now and everything still seems rock solid. I never really use BT so I don't know if that is working right but I dont much care. I have a headset I will charge and see if I can get it working but that's minor to me.

WiFi tethering working like a champ, solid data connectivity even when toggling WiFi and tehtering on and off.

Only issue I have, and this is minor nitpicky stuff, I can't run the speedtest. When I do it it nearly always (it once worked but 10-15 times it won't) freezes up the phone totally about 2/3 to 2/4 of the way through the download test part. I would like to know how my speeds are now but can never get the test to finish, anyone have any ideas?

EDIT - well ok, just had a freeze trying to unlock the display, the slider froze when it was slid all the way to unlock and just stayed there. First issue I have had in a while though, still awesome build

FURTHER EDIT - rebooted and all seems fine, it appears I can speedtest to servers other than the one that is being assigned to me (odd what one that is too, there is a Milwaukee server but it keeps sending me to Chicago... that crashes) Getting around 3500 dl 700 ul right now but its kinda ugly out and I am inside, I have seen higher in the past before it would freeze..... though now the phone froze again....
[HD2 Android SD Development] bangsters:
Did you do what was adviced in this thread and on the checklist I posted?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ws6nightcat:
still can't get it to go bast the batt test on initial setup just after it says creating new data store, any suggestions guys?
[HD2 Android SD Development] bangsters:
is it a new install? the initial data store it creates is 2GB so it takes time.

Do this to try to isolate issue... go to startup.txt and change data size to 512, this way it just creates a 512mb store which should be quick. see if that works.

make sure you delete the existing data.img that was created earlier.

also is this a fresh install?

Ever since I switched to Android I've not used g sensor, ive not even had it work for a second I'm confused,

And I've never had what I think is a g sensor related sod....

Running bangsters latest

8gb class 6

I've tried with g sensor enabled roms and calibrated in wm first but still nothing also tried most Android builds and wm roms

My g sensor has never even tried to work on Android

I got the same issue. I copied ppp_wifi_router.sh to the gscript folder (created after having ran gscript I think) and it'll load it. I'm getting lines of stderr when I run it from home shortcut though. Anyway to check that it ran right? ...other than if wifi tethering works or not :p
[HD2 Android SD Development] aleunge:
Using setCPU helps the battery drain... I think the recommended setting is interactive.

With the static, did you try radio 2_10_50_26 that was suggested by captain bangster?

good evening,

i've this question: if i aplly the patch before the first boot the lcd-res remains in 180dpi. How should I apply the patch? I should make the first boot without the patch?
[HD2 Android SD Development] banesi:
for all of you having touch screen freezes try to turn of screen rotation, I choosed portrait mode only, before doing this I had terrible freezes, now it seems it's working ok
[HD2 Android SD Development] Drakknar:
Yup, I guess there is some kind of problem while applying the command line parameters... I'm sure Bangsters will fix it soon :)

240 dpi

Hi all,

I changed the startup.txt to put 240 dpi, but when I start Android is still in 180 dpi, anyone know how I can put in 240?

In advance thank you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bangsters:
post your startup.txt exactly as it shows.
[HD2 Android SD Development] princenez:
Did you get rid of the default prop file located in root/system? This helped for someone else.

[HD2 Android SD Development] jshuford:
Anyone please...

What can i do about the static that both me and my callers can hear and why does the battery drain so fully and quickly?
[HD2 Android SD Development] FreakyFerret:
So I gave this a try. Not bad. Other than the stuck in 180 dpi as someone posted, and the occasional hard freeze requiring a battery pull, this isn't a bad build.

WiFi partially works for me now. It didn't use to work at all at home. Now it works for internet browsing but won't find anything on the LAN. A step forward if you ask me.

Edit: On the 180 dpi, I deleted the default.prop file, and the system recreated it. My first install was as 1.3b. Can someone confirm installing as 1.3a and then patching to 1.3b fixes this problem? If so, Bangsters may wind up being my new favorite build.

Edit: Going to try 1.3a setup. Then patch to 1.3b. See if that helps.

Also, I uninstall LauncherPro, and it keeps coming back. O.o
[HD2 Android SD Development] cdub2499:
thank you for the quick response!
[HD2 Android SD Development] princenez:
Alright, weird one and it might have been answered already but for some reason I can only download from market using data not wifi. If wifi is on the download wont work once I turn it off it works fine just really slow. Any thoughts.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nieves53:
Same here the startup txt doesn't seem to be setting even if then one tries to edit tru. The android folder it seems to always go back to 180 and ppp the data size is ok I'm using it at 512
[HD2 Android SD Development] cdub2499:
that didnt work, the download just goes to "download paused"
[HD2 Android SD Development] FreakyFerret:
Found out why 180 dpi and default.prop keeps popping up. Look in Bangster 1.3a.zip

\bangsters_v1.3a_09142010\Android\root\system and you'll find the default.prop

Also why LauncherPro keeps reinstalling:

\bangsters_v1.3a_09142010\Android\AndroidApps has it listed along with a few other things I uninstalled.

You know, I usually hate a build that has a bunch of stuff/apps installing with it. Usually cause you can't get rid of them. Bangster's setup is great. It gives the best of both worlds once you realize what's going on.

Bangster, you are rocking this thing, man. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] bangsters:
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhtc_ril_wrapper.so should be removed from default.prop.

or you can delete default.prop altogether since it will be recreated if it's missing.

this is for 1.3b
[HD2 Android SD Development] bangsters:
delete the default.prop.... in 1.3a there's 2 lines of code there.... in 1.3b the second line is gone... the error is it's seeing the 2nd line still so it's not taking the data on the first line.

either delete the 2nd line in default.prop or delete default.prop. it will get recreated.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Drakknar:
Cool... I'll try by deleting the 2nd line, thanks! :)

Here's some more bug reports for you:

T-Mobile (US) Visual Voicemail won't work. It will install, and when you start the app it wants to setup the account. But then it fails with a "Communication Error". http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=775773 is the thread on it.

I can get wifi to work but it's flaky. If I start the phone up with wifi off, it won't work at all. I have to turn wifi on, then reboot the phone. Then wifi works. If I turn wifi off at any point, I have to reboot (after turning it back on) for it to work again. Basically, the phone has to start with wifi already on, or it will fail.
[HD2 Android SD Development] madrabbitt:
same result here with vvm.

And, i'm having issues with a stupid VM notification that wont go away, but thats just random, and I think i know why, and i dont give a damn.

Next time someone leaves me a VM it should fix itself.

I had several hard freezes earlier, generally appeared when the data connection started, i.e. i opened market or the browser.

batt pull, followed by several powercycles, and they're gone.

this occured with 1.3a, then once with 1.3b as well.

Pulling the battery is annoying when you have the phone in the big freaking defender case too.

Oh well, hasnt happened since.

I knocked my DPI up to 200, still keeping the 5 rows, as it works rather well.

Still loving it.

Battery is depleting at 6-8% an hour, under my normal usage, which is pretty heavy... i killed other phones within 12 hours as well.

stay tuned guys.... another update being worked on :)

[HD2 Android SD Development] k3nmill3r:
My earlier freezing issues seem to have resolved themselves with a battery pull and a few reboots, now it appears to be back to the same level of stability that I enjoyed with 1.3a

what is in store for us with the new update?? I can't wait to find out ha ha

did you delete the default.prop found in Android -> root folder? If not, then delete it. or edit it and delete the 2nd row.

This is actually part of the Exchange security features. The Exchange server admin can actually set some security settings on the server that overwrite what you have on your phone. For instance allowing you to install unsecure apps, how many failed unlocks you can have before phone is permanently locked, etc.

I have such an Exchange server, and Bangsters 1.3b works just fine with it.

Will give the reboot a try and see if it fixes to slow wifi transfer rates. If it doesn't do you have any other suggestions?

If i also check on bluetooth detectable, it say 120 sec and stay there...no countdown, and if i go back and forth i see that its not checked anymore....

also....

wifi is not working!

so there is no way for me to check if bluetooth working or no...

i think, if someone dont have a solution, i have to change android build.

sorry!

Your build is fantastic, but i need BT to work! :(

Much thanks bro... Solid is this v1.3a build, in my opinion! I'll still apply v1.3b next <for no other reason, than to provided feedback>!

needed to use RMNET to get internet running, so easily did via startup parameter, running 2GB Data!

Still haven't tried Tethering/hotspot

getting constant 1897 & 1898 scores <see pics>

Finally - Still wish to see H.264 Codec for VidCAM, 5MP Cam ...working ...oh so GOOD!<personally perfer CAM/VID UI from Desire>

I'm on Bangsters 1.3B, I too could not put 240 dpi, it always remained in 180.

Here is the solution, edit with notepad in:

startup.txt file: lcd_res = 240

Android and the folder / root / system change in the files with notepad and build.prop default.prop:

build.prop: ro.sf.lcd_density = 240

default.prop: ro.sf.lcd_density = 240

Thank you for this great rom, everything works, it's fast and it's pure Android without customization or skin.
[HD2 Android SD Development] d3l1:
it's been ~20 hours since my last full charge and my phone is nagging me again to charge (battery is at 15%). how can I improve it further? SetCPU is set to interactive, other settings are untouched. Background is set to 40%. Wifi, BT are off by default. Any ideas what to improve? Besides that and the painfully slow wifi speed, the build works great!
[HD2 Android SD Development] tinuz97:
Same problem here,i realy think this is a issue with this rom.

It simpely forget settings like that,also ppp to rmnet gets back to ppp after a reboot.

Also when you remove apps that are build in coming back after a reboot,that is why zedge keeps asking over and over again for a update,simpely because this build is forgetting the update or something.
[HD2 Android SD Development] whynot66:
In the android folder there is a folder called Android apps anything in here will be installed on boot so anything you don't want just delete it

Setcpu profile to screen off both on lowest

Use advanced task killer, go to options set to auto kill aggressive and frequency when screen off, go to security and click medium, use power app to turn off connections when not in use and also turn on the 2g/3g toggle and use 2g when 3g not needed, always disable connections when putting phone in standby I get 1-3mA in standby, battery is as good as wm for me
[HD2 Android SD Development] d3l1:
thx, I did all the above mentioned except the connection thing. what app do you mean exactly? there is power manager, is that the one you mean? also I can't disable connections in standby because my push-service has to be active. but switching to 2g if 3g is not needed would be a good idea.
[HD2 Android SD Development] whynot66:
Press and hold on screen, go to widgets and power control is already there, when it opens theres a list of options just read them all and select the 2g 3g toggle

Also you should change to 100 % in wm then remove battery and reboot

Then

Go to terminal and do exactly as follows

Su (hit enter)

Rm /data/system/batterystats.bin (hit enter) y (hit enter)

This will clear previous battery stats

Turn off charge till light goes green then boot up

Now phone will be 100 % charged and Android will know it

Works a treat I've just used navigation with voice for 40mins full data connection and made a 10th minute call on route and only used 11% battery
[HD2 Android SD Development] whynot66:
@bangster

Struggling keeping data stable if I control it turning it off and on as and when its fine and very fast, but if it goes off its self I have to reboot to get data

When o manually search for network operator I get error while searchimg and it won't find any.

This happens whether I have data or not are the problems related? Is there a fix

Hey Bangster, I'm a little confused here. When I fisrt installed, I was getting great (5mA) standby drain. Then I put in the patch and after several reboots it did not go below 53mA. I just went back to the 1.3a Rootfs and I'm back to getting 4mA. Do you think it is random, or could one of the changes be affecting something?
[HD2 Android SD Development] madrabbitt:
Woke up to a hard freeze.

Put the phone on the charger last night, slept, woke up, and it had a solid green light, and was HARD frozen, nothing would wake it up. black screen, unpluging the charger kept the solid green light, none of the buttons would even turn on the back light.

Battery pull, and i'll reboot it a few times to be sure.

Eh, its still a fast, stable build, so whats a few batt pulls.

I put a ZAGG on it last night because i'll probably carry it 'naked' a few days, because pulling it out of the multi part cases is getting annoying for the batt pull.

I still love the buld though.

Great Build Brotha

Bangsters is King!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of READING Some small tweaks and i got everything working Perfect NO SOD no touch freeze issues My Bluetooth works flawlessly Im Able to send and receive MMS no problems at all

Battery is great quadrant scores are super high. These android builds made me like my HD2 again. For a min there i was close to throwing this thing into the wall....

One thing i dont like and i dont mean to nit pick is that when i transfer files using mass USB storage i have to reboot my phone before i can view the newly transfered files.

Not a problem at all. Just meantioning it in case i missed something along the lines.

GREAT JOB MAN YOU DO REALLY NICE WORK
