[HD2 General] RandyWatson:
Well, i flashed up to the latest energy rom from the 23138 and it still happens.

S2U2 did not work either. theres a couple of posts on that thread about the bug.

I reckon it must be to do with Manila 2018 because anything prior to this and it does not do it.

Is eveybody getting this problems...with other ROMS etc.
[HD2 General] dimitar_htc:
i dont have this problem since i bought the phone
[HD2 General] RandyWatson:
this seems to be confirmed as a problem native to the lastest Manila build 2018.

Just wondering, what are the risks? I mean, other than voiding your guarantee.

Is it possible to use SD for everything, and only have android boot when the SD card is in.

Oh, and if there is 0-1% risk and it is possible to use SD (even if it will still show the duel boot loader even when SD card is out), I would please like a step by step guide to duel booting it. Everywhere I look is a "Install this bootloader here, get this ROM there, now figure it out for yourself."

To minimize risk of my device not coming back, can someone please tell me step by step, EXACTLY how to do everything.

thx for even reading it,

drnessie

This should help...

There is really no risk booting an android version from your SD card using Haret.EXE. There are some risks flashing the ROM to NAND which could leave your phone inoperable or 'bricked'. I have always flashed to NAND and have never had problems but trust me, I spent countless hours, reading and learning from many posters in the forums about how to do it properly. Using the search features in the forums, you will probably find answers and tutorials for booting Android from your SD card and flashing the ROM of your choice to NAND...

Here are a few good starting points:

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] TONKAFORCE:
So i bought this phone of a guy, an he told me he was a phone dealer an that he owned a store an that motorola sent him this phone as a gift. the phone even has on it ingraded into it"confidential motorola restricted property: not for sale" and where the meid is located it says

"motorola engineering use only not for resale

The guy told me its unlocked to any network in the world, an when i turned it on, it had android 2.1

So what i wanted to do is upgrad it to 2.2 froyo. so i figured id have to degrade it first to 2.0.1. Thing is i dont know which sbf to download when using rsd lite, like ive tried the brazillian one, but i jus keep gettin error after erasing flash memory, it would go to 100%, then go back to zero percent, wait like 5 mins, an then error. so help would greatly be appreciated to get this phone runnin 2.2
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Caz666:
it wont work.

1. it is a milestone and the boot combo must be signed by Mot.

until somebody finds a way around this or mot releases a 2.2 variant, we are screwed. some devs here have packaged 2.2 without the kernel, but some things do not work exactly like the release froyo.

2. dont buy NFR phones...they are pre-prod and not warrantied. they often have different hardware than release phones. the last Moto NFR phone i played with did not even work with RSD to flash it...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] TONKAFORCE:
thanks for the reply, an how sure are u that i wont be able to upgrade it to 2.2, because this phone seems like its already been rooted since it wont let me root it. it runs boot loader 90.78, an when i use rsd it seems to be working fine, until after the erase flash memory.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sylau90:
Hi,mate...This situation didn't happen to me...Since I'm using shubcraft v1.5...If not mistaken you are using Hyperdroid build,right?I think this problem related to the screen density...I'm using the shubcraft default screen density (which is 240),it works like charm...You may try to adjust it,since Hyperdroid build using lower screen density(so you see more spaces on the homescreen...

Here are some tips about how to change the screen DPI...click here

Hope this works...you may give it a try,see it goes...If all else failed,You can refer back to your Hyperdroid build thread...Pongsters already listed down plenty of useful tips about his build...

hi!

in order to test something, i need to replace the build.prop in root/system with a modified one. but trying to delete this file with astro manager displays an error message, and just copying the modified build.prop over the old one doesn't work too (nothing happens).

so my question is: how do you replace such a file?

thanks in advance for your help :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tuppaacc:
are you serious!?!?!?

If the build.prop is located on the Android folder IT HAS TO BE A SYSTEM FILE !!!

if you mod the system files you could break android or the system just won't let you do it, you will need R and W privileges to do that.

edit the system files from your PC or just boot up in to windows mobile.

use some common scene next time.

hope it helps!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sichroteph:
Do you use a cyanogen build?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tuppaacc:
yes and there is already a cyanogen rom posted with the proper build.prop fixed, so you won't have to edit anything, just search for it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sichroteph:
mmmh actually cyanogen made things easy to replace a system file, just copy your file into sdcard/android/root/system and reboot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hebbe:
thanks for your help / posts. but unfortunately they're not helpful.

yes, i am serious!:D and yes, of course it's a system file. i know as well that modification might brick android.

there are reasons for modifying this file. some people seem to be able to, e.g. for chaning screen point density or modify the data passthrough.

so, please tell me, how can i edit/modify a system file from pc or windows mobile when its within the data.img-file?

thanks for any tips / hints on this.

use root explorer
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eenbox:
Thank you VERY much for your help - I finally got it to work by listening your instructions. It is simply different if you have HD2 and plus CM mod. That figures why it was going back all the time to 180 instead of changing it - because it runs from sd card and that's where it needs to be replaced as well :) ...

[Droid X Android Development] benclayton:
Anyone have a stock build.prop? Everything worked fine, I just want a file to fall back on.
[Droid X Android Development] byproxy:
not what you're going to want to hear... but my score dropped. my build.prop before only had the market fix and when i ran the test (immediately after reboot) i got 1390. i pasted your build.prop in and rebooted and ran test again (immediately after reboot) and the score dropped to 1304.

not a huge drop but no where near your score and certainly not a gain.

any ideas as to why?
[Droid X Android Development] cbaty08:
Did you run it multiple times? I am able to get a wide range of scores that are over 100 points in difference each run sometimes....
[Droid X Android Development] acidbath5546:
@OP

Good post..nice one.

I was wondering if u messed with some other buil.prop.

Couple other thoughts I had to edit :

#Proximity sensor debounce time

mot.proximity.delay=450

# disable touch below 60 pixels

mot.proximity.distance=60

Seems plausible to edit the delay for quicker response .

This defines the max event window manager can

# handle in 1 s. We may adjust this # for performance

# reason later

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=55

# This defines the min duration between two pointer event

ro.min_pointer_dur=10

Messed with this at all?
[Droid X Android Development] byproxy:
ahhh... nope. just once. ran a couple more times and got the following:

1304 (first one mentioned before)

1482

1486

1481

so ya... that's good. lol. should have run it multiple times with the old build prop to see the difference. suppose i still could, but too lazy to load the old file. hehehehe. thanks for the tip!
[Droid X Android Development] cbaty08:
No sweat man, enjoy.
[Droid X Android Development] cbaty08:
I like the idea of making the sensor quicker to respond.... It isn't as bad as it was on 2.1, but I still think it could be quicker :p
[Droid X Android Development] acidbath5546:
I agree...but im not sure if it will have any adverse effects if changed.

It seems to me that as of right now ..with stock rooted 2.2 it takes about 1-2 seconds for the phone to switch between landscape and.potrait ...like counting out loud One ...Two...it switches as soon as I.say two....same for you?

EDIT :

I edited #Proximity sensor debounce time mot.proximity.delay=450

Took it down to 100....and well I really can't tell if its quicker or not ...it seems it but might be a placebo effect ...hasn't given me any issues ...someone else wanna test that and tell me what they think?
[Droid X Android Development] urufu_shinjiro:
This is why I dislike quadrant, it's really not a good benchmark tool. Too many factors can influence the score, take the lagfix for some phones, they just replace the file system with the faster ex2, offers little real world difference but because the I/O section of quadrant jumps through the roof then the total score goes much higher than other phones that are actually faster. The paid quadrant is a little better in that it shows how much of the score is from what subsytem or whatever, but the score is too easily influenced by too many factors to be really effective as a benchmark tool. Not to mention it's easy to trick.

[Droid X Android Development] outkind:
I downloaded the file with the modifications already in it, renamed it and placed it into my system folder using root explorer. Ensured it was there and rebooted phone. Phone won't start, which means I messed up somewhere and placed into a loop of some sort and bricked it for now. My question is it recoverable using adb or another method?

Update: found out how, was at work and wanted to figure out before I got home, didnt happen. I am at home now and just used rsd lite to flash the sdf file. Gotta check my work and try again.
[Droid X Android Development] v_lestat:
even though i am an EVO owner i thought i would chime in.

if you use the program from the market called "Spare Parts" and uncheck "Compatability Mode" this will fix most apps to run full screen properly instead of a windowed mode.

i dont know if this app is available on the X though.

also being an evo owner these tweaks looked nice so i checked my build.prop and none of those settings are in there except for the LCD density.

for those interested i use 215 as lcd density.

any smaller number, like 200, even on the EVO's big screen, caused web pages text to be way to small to read even when double tapping the screen to enlarge it.

now i know i could increase the font size but 215 was a nice setting for all around compatability.

Seedtest.net app is the only one so far that isnt displaying perfectly.

even though its full screen it is shifted to the left a bit. Not horribly, but noticeable.

Icons Missing?

Hi. Thanks for this terrific mod. I'm really, really loving my DX/Froyo now!

As much as I love the density tweak (I'm sporting 220 right now, which I agree seems to be the sweet spot), it makes some icons act sort of funky (to say nothing of Power Strip, which looks awful). Namely, the icons for mail accounts, text messaging, Facebook, and Twitter are all initially blank in the stock Messaging app; after a few seconds they eventually load only generic icons for the individual accounts. It's certainly not a show-stopper, but it's pretty ugly.

Is there a way around this?
[Droid X Android Development] NegativeOne:
No. The errors are caused by "improperly" coded apps. You'd have to fix each app (don't ask me how).

The LCD density is like applying a sledgehammer to an egg. You'll get an instant omelet but you'll be picking egg-shell out of your mouth.

also

I noticed before that i could actually press over the verizon logo at the bottom of the screen. I can't anymore, so maybe it's a new thing, but anyway... i think maybe if we play with this, we can make launcher apps that give us 'soft buttons' like other phones have, right above our 4 hard buttons.
