You did check the same question and answer on the previous page, didn't you?

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CenturyBreak:
Thanks Mac. :)

Now... to read up on the safe use of task29... I've loaded a couple of android builds on top of the stock(-ish) WM ROM, but I'm running into performance issues, so this will be my first ROM install. :eek:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Macelangelo77:
Task29 is safe to use, just don't disconnect while doing it :) I've probably done it about a thousand times now, never had an issue. If you still have a stock ROM, don't forget the read up on the use of HSPL ;)

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CenturyBreak:
Thanks again.

That's why I wrote "stock(-ish)"... HSPL is already loaded... but I'm not sure which version. Of course, I didn't think I'd have been able to load various radios over the last few days without HSPL! ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Macelangelo77:
If you want to check what version you have, power up your phone with volume down pressed. If you see the tri-colour screen it'll show you what version of HSPL is installed.

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tdmosk:
Thanks for confirming my question was stupid! I kept searching 1024leo and not alternate orders, because I thought that was the standard name.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Macelangelo77:
You're welcome :D

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CenturyBreak:
Thanks. :D

This discussion of task29 got me thinking: since my performance problem seems to stem from overwriting radio files, and task29 wipes everything other than the radio squeaky-clean, is there something analogous that wipes the radio portion(s) of ROM similarly squeaky-clean?

Another thought: is it worthwhile to update HSPL to a later version, and under what circumstances?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tdmosk:
Noob here -

My phone boots into OzDroid fine. I'm trying to get it to load into [BUILD]UPD(27.11.2010)MCCM SE V3.4(FroyoStone Sense)[kernel hastarin r8.5]

After I select it, it gets stuck at the HTC screen. Here's what I've tried:

-reformat SD card to FAT32

-Update Radio to Leo 2.11.50.20

-Repair Android bootup - get an error message "can't modify startup.txt"

What else should I try?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Macelangelo77:
No, there isn't. As far as I know it isn't necessary, as the new radio overwrites the old one completely.

If you're planning on flashing another ROM, always check the chefs' advise for what version of HSPL you should use.

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Macelangelo77:
I think you'd be better off asking your question in the builds thread, as OzDroid is booting fine. This can't be ROM related (afaik), it has something to do with your install of the build. You did give it 10-15 minutes at first boot to complete, didn't you? Otherwise you can always try to do it all over, format your SD Card with SD formatter (select Full), copy the Android Folder and give it another try. I've never experienced something like that and I've did quite some installs by now :)

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tdmosk:
I actually didn't let it go for 15 minutes. Maybe only 5 or 10. I'll try it again though. Is the SD formatter built into OzDroid the right one?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Macelangelo77:
If I run into trouble, I use the SD Formatter tool as found on this website. If you're running Windows 7, download version 3 from the menu bar at the left. This tool does a more thorough format then the built-in format tool in WinMo.

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tdmosk:
Worked now! Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CenturyBreak:
As mentioned earlier (quoted above), my current (pun intended) issue seems to have arisen from overwriting radio files, implying that something has been left behind!

Here's the circumstances leading to recommendations to try OzDROID:

Using stock(-ish) 2.10 WM ROM and MCCM v3.4 continuation of FroysStone, trying different radios to improve battery life:

radio 2.08: ~55ma on standby or airplane mode

radio 2.14: 5-7ma on standby, 3-5ma in airplane mode :D

radio 2.15: ~55ma on standby or airplane mode :(

reinstall radio 2.14: still ~55ma on standby or airplane mode :eek:

try the process from the start, rolling back to 2.08 and then 2.14, still ~55ma on standby or airplane mode :mad:

Thus the presumption on my part that 2.15 left something behind that isn't being fixed by other radios, including the previous best, 2.14.

And yes, it was my mistake trying 2.15, but I was still getting occasional data disconnects with 2.14 and was seeking to eliminate that one remaining blemish on MCCM v3.4...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kraz_zay:
got a question ....why cant i get the contact from sim card.... open contact no people. please help. what i missed?

cant import contact from sim. Sim manager cab not found in my document folder.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Macelangelo77:
That's not caused by the radio... It takes a few reboots and an initial sync before a build settles down. A lot of (CPU-consuming) processes are running in the background. I'm using 2.15.50.14 (see sig for details) and I'm having 3-7ma in standby. But it takes some patience... Regarding the data drops: everyone has them, so it's not purely radio related. It's just not completely fixed, although it's getting better and better. However, the drain can off course be stimulated when you have a bad reception in general, which causes the radio to work harder.

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Correct :)

That 55mA is because something is running in the background...try leaving it for a little while and rebooting, then try again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] weka101:
Hi mate I'm a noob to this stuff too but one thing I've picked up is if you extract one of the data.img files, either 512 MB or the 1GB data.img into your android folder, your first startup time is greatly reduced.

Happy flashing
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gomax:
Thanks Dave for this ROM, running with MCCM HD V1.1 Beta2. Very happy convert from WinMob.

Hi Scotsman. Does the latest version of OZdroid work with US Tmobile HD2? I just purchased one but im in Australia. Im still wondering why i purchased it :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hastarin:
If you're not on Telstra it's cheaper and has more memory. So not such a bad purchase in that case.

He's already answered this more than once so don't be surprised if he ignores you. ;)

Use customruu.exe (I've atttached it for you).

Gidday Dave, Which 'droids can you recommend? Only tried 2 HD versions by MCCM and cedesmith. The MCCM works fine but cedesmith fails on second boot

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] poma_2:
many thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CenturyBreak:
Thanks folks. :D

One more reboot (along with formatting the uSD card with Panasonic's SDFormatter) got the current draw to settle back to 5-7ma on standby... much of the time. It still jumps to ~60ma for long periods before dropping to ~20 for shorter periods and finally settling back to 5-7.

So... obviously it wasn't an issue with radio overwrites! As I wrote, it was a newbie wild-ass-guess based on apparent cause and effect. ;)

The issue with the data drops is still annoying, particularly given its frequency. What happens is that wifi appears to still be connected, but after anywhere from 30 to 120 minutes, the connection isn't really there... wifi needs to be stopped and restarted. That said, it's annoying, but I can live with it...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Macelangelo77:
I have no issue with WiFi at all with the build I'm using (see my sig), neither with Hastarin's 8.5 which is supplied with MCCM 3.4 or with the newer release.. The best advice I can give you is to make sure, if you installed a different kernel, to push the module for WiFi (bcm4329.ko) which came with the kernel, to the appropriate location (/system/lib/modules). You could for instance try Hastarin's 8.5.1 as alternative, or a different build. Data drops for 3G are common, but for WiFi they shouldn't occur as frequently as you describe.

Sincerely,

Mac

CleanDroid Bootloader - auto boot

First of all: big thanks to the_scotsman! Was using OzROM for some time and now switched to this fine ROM to use android. Works like a charm :)

Just one question remains: can the CleanDroid bootloader be configured to automatically boot android without asking? Some command line argument maybe?

Hi

I'm having a problem that i can't figure out.

I have just installed HardSPL so that I could use this ROM and then I tried formatting my memory card and now I'm trying to put in a clean Android installation.

Then i have restarted my phone and used the CleanDroid app to choose to start my Android installation.

But it just hang's there with the tiny font.

I have tried many different methods and searched the forum for help.

I have used android alot with OE ROM. and never had a problem.

I have tried 2 different Android build's. both hang's. and both have been let alone for approx 15min's.

No change in file's on memorycard.

I even tried the fix solution.... but no luck.

Any Ideas?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Macelangelo77:
Both of you, welcome to the wonderful world of XDA.

This thread is a good starting point to read when you're about to flash a custom ROM. You'll need CUSTOMRUU.exe which is explained at paragraph 3, section 4b of the thread mentioned above, but make sure you don't skip the previous paragraphs.

Sincerely,

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] TekniskM:
Ok, since nobody had any suggestions I removed the HardSPL and installed RUU_Leo_HTC_NOR_1.66.409.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship, tried to start up the Android I knew should start.

No luck...

I then upgraded everything to RUU_Leo_S_HTC_NOR_3.14.409.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship,

Then suddenly Android would boot again.

So it looks to me that no other SPL than 3.14 would work with android... how did everyone of you get Android started?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kbluearmor7:
Hi Scottsman,

To start off I am a noob. Just added android to my HD2 loving it...except battery. 12hrs on standby with SetCPU and SuperPower running. avg 60mah on standby. Jumps to 100-300 on games and web browsing/market dowloads.

Before anyone jumps on me, yes I have read the entire thread and knows that Scottsman explained WM ROM has nothing to do with battery usage, but I have seen people recommending this OZDRoid rom for 5-7 mah, so wondering if this is true.

Currently I have

3.14 Stock Rom

2.15 Radio

Nexus HD2 Android build
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Macelangelo77:
I have 3-7mA on standby. If you still have 60mA, try switching Airplane mode on in WM before booting Android and make sure you have BT turned off in Android. You can additionally download Currentwidget, enable logging every 60 secs with apps running to see what is causing this drainage. Also: hows network coverage at your place? A radio which constantly struggling to keep a connection will eat your juice too...

Sincerely,

Mac

Biggest difference Ive found so far is using an auto boot loader such as EBL and setting it to 3 seconds and restarting the hd2 and letting it boot from a fresh restart everytime.

I use the 21916 version for my HD2

I use win + spb shell

And android CM7 2.3.3

I found one problem at mail app.

When you get mails you see them but you cant enter the massage!

Or compose new one!

this what need to be added to registry to fix this!

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Inbox\Templates\IPM\Note]

"Read"="\\Windows\\read_note.htm"

"Compose"="\\Windows\\Compose_note.htm"

Thanks for your work!

If you can give me the source of the rom, it's can be fantastic!!!

I will cook my own rom!!! just for me with your base!

I will never post it here or take any credit.

Missing HTC Phone Functions - NOT HTC interface

Many thanks Scottsman !!

This is a wonderful light, stable, very fast ROM, actually the most stable and issue free WM ROM I have tried so far with very few freezes

I use it solely in WM with Radio 15.50, quite heavily for my work, managing a database of about 3.000 contacts and 6.000 appointments with Pocket Informant 9

The only functionality I missed was: A) muting incoming call phone ringer without rejecting call, either with volume hard button or through the touch screen and B) screen off when putting phone near ear

I somehow managed to solve both by installing Volumex 2.6.3.0 and Marzen's TouchInCallScreenTweak

Still I'm wondering if there is a simpler / easier / better way to bring back the original HTC phone functionality either by a Registry tweak and/or some other program(s), file(s) or cab(s)

Many Thanks again

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Diem:
Hello Scotsman,

Very nice ROM! I'm a critical user who likes both worlds. WM and Android. Your ROM has enough flexibility (for me at least) to be used in daily situations although I really(!) think the keyboard provided in the ROM is not usable. It would be the best ROM for Android (the autoloader is just plain wonderful) and WM usage if you include a large keyboard with auto rotation (wishful thinking ..haha) none the less, damn fine ROM.

Thanks,

Diem (NL)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mstrk242:
I really like this rom. It boots up faster than ChunkyDroidrom did for me. (I'm always tinkering with things, and reboot a lot, so I appreciate that quite a bit :)) Plus with titanium it makes wm usable when I do have to boot into windows (which is rarely ever anymore). Thanks very much!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wiinds:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ricko2169:
Not to mention NRG rom also has a barebones WM build here too.

Once you have an Android build to go with it, you'll have an Android "suite" that just would not belong anywhere else. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
This might be possible, I'll speak to the creator ;)

Yea, I was trying to decide if I should include it...I might...the only thing is that it adds another 8MB to the size of the ROM...and I'm trying to keep it as low as possible...

What do other people think? Should I include the larger HTC keyboard?

Glad you're liking it :D

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mimote:
I would support your intent of keeping the ROM as bare as possible, it is always possible to install additional keyboards if possible. Maybe provide a cab for the HTC keyboard.

+1 for building in an option for auto loading Android after XX seconds.

Having been a WM user for years I have transformed in the past week to an Android lover, just hoping that one of my favourite apps is ported.
