does it actually work with audio or it just turns on? I'm trying this with my V1.5 but it only turns on, BT does not really connect.

I'm using Motorola S7-HD. What BT are you using? Can you confirm this? And what version are you using, 1.4 or earlier?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jamesjf:
Well, it connected to the computer earlier, but now won't do anything other than turn on. I didn't get to testing it with a headset though as mine's in the car. :|
[HD2 Android SD Development] Buster3616:
Edited. nvmd got it
[HD2 Android SD Development] bangsters:
Thanks! Would you mind testing it with your headset? I want to check if it's only with my headset that's causing issues, or it's something in general with the EVO and CM6 builds.
[HD2 Android SD Development] tinuz97:
I think it is also driver related,i did see in the desire build other drivers,and settings in the config file,it is not only kernel related i think.
[HD2 Android SD Development] carhigh:
Bluetooth won't even turn on for me. It just goes to turning on Bluetooth and then says turn on Bluetooth again. Any ideas to fix?

Reporting Back

Hastarin I told you I would report back about the extended battery. Your kernel works great with stock battery I ran it for a few days and all was well except the known issues of course. I went and put my HTC 2300 mah extended battery in today and it reboots when it hits the preparing sd card and loading android. In fact it corrupted my data.img and I had to reinstall everything so in essence with my setup ext bat not working. I have Chucky Droid rom, Mattc 1.8 with your kernel and 2.12.50.02 radio.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Sorry to hear that. It sounds like some people can use the extended battery fine with my kernel and others get the reboot. I'm wondering if the reboot is related to the OC/UV/AXI. I'll try to produce a solution that is based on git with ONLY my extended battery change at some stage so people can test that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
The 2nd part you've quoted is unlikely related. I have no idea if reverting that particular change will help, but I have noticed the git tree has been updated with audio fixes so I'll try a new build against that first before I try with anything reverted.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to work on things late today.
[HD2 Android SD Development] famewolf:
On the opposite end....I installed your version with no problem on a generic extended battery from ebay. Had written a thank you post but xda's database glitch seems to have eaten it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] noellenchris:
I tried the new kernel and I can't get it to boot...:(
[HD2 Android SD Development] bangsters:
you're the second one who informed me hehe... my brother also had issues with kernel....

so i will pass on testing that :)

thanks noel
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
I'm wondering if I have the same problem here. I'm currently staring at the logo.rle and have been for about 20 mins. That said I am working on a modified version but I didn't think it would cause this. Either it's corrupted my data.img (of course I was silly enough not to back it up) and it's busy recreating it or it's hung entirely.

I think I might enable the fb console until I've got the issue, whatever it is sorted, but it looks like I might have to try a format and start again.

Perhaps I'll check out one of the other Desire HD builds while I'm at it.

Going to wait another 10 mins or so first. *crosses fingers*
[HD2 Android SD Development] tmorgan4:
Thanks so much for this Kernel. I am running Mattc 1.8 with the 2.12.50.02 2 Radio and the 1.72 Telstra ROM. Yes I haven't changed my WinMo ROM yet. Still got it there just incase I have to revert back while at work as I rely on my Mobile.

Currently with Exchange Push Sync enabled and all the other syncs (like Fabebook etc) setup for every few hour plus Bluetooth I am on -10mA. Was like -21mA before your kernel.

WARNING: git tree now tries to NAND boot by default

Alright, anyone trying to use a kernel based on the latest tree this may help you...

OK so by reading commit logs and chatting to Rajko on IRC I've found out what I needed to do. It seems the main tree now support NAND by default, so you need to modify the startup.txt for your build to include a cmdline with "nand_boot=0" on the end.

I'm hoping to get a new kernel built based on this soon, but I may not get it out today.

I've set myself up with my own clone to work off:

http://gitorious.org/~hastarin/linux-on-wince-htc/hastarins-linux_on_wince_htc

I'm planning to keep things as close to the main tree as I can for now by leaving out all the extra bits I couldn't follow from gauner1986s patch.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dragion:
I'm wondering if any else is experiencing a problem with the hard buttons not lighting up?

Appears fine in Windows, but as soon as it launches into Android, the buttons don't ever light up.

Any assistance in resolving this issue will be greatly appreciated!

*UPDATE...Solved by installing "lights.htcleo.so" by gauner1986 into system/lib :)

[HD2 Android SD Development] wannafly:
with 8.5.3, the phone can't establish gprs data after I connected and then disconnected wifi, even I turn airplane mode on and off.

I check the info in the setting interface "*#*#4636#*#*". It reports

8.5.1 works fine
[HD2 Android SD Development] captainhakan:
Acording to my personal experience MDJ 4.4 with 8.5.3 hastarin kernel rocks compared to all other combinations i tried ! I believe it's because MDJ 4.4 build is based on superior DesireHD version. I was going to try CoreDroid HD 0.3 as i like the icon modifications but i changed my mind after i recognised how trouble free the combination i am using right at the moment

I have no problem with Angry birds icon. Maybe it's because i moved on to MDJ build with a fresh install creating data.img file from the scratch. I just could not transfer the unlocked game stages into my new build from the previous one.
[HD2 Android SD Development] somebully:
I'd also like a link til 8.5.1 kernel as I'm still on 18.11.10 MDJ FroYo Sense Clean v. 2.4 [kernel: MDJ S6.1]

(HTC Desire builds still more stable than HD in my experiene)

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] captainhakan:
hastarin_r8.5.1_eb download link

I agree Desire Builds are still faster and more stable if you can bare with less features
[HD2 Android SD Development] somebully:
Thank you.

Downloaded and readme says

*****************************************

* Kernel hastarin r8.3b_eb - 17/11/2010 *

*****************************************

is that the correct one?

edit:

I think I'm asking for Release r8.5.1 from 26/11/2010
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Why? The latest kernel should work fine on that if you manually install the modules.

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 Android SD Development] CR5N:
8.5.3 works with MDJ 2.4, data is excellent too. You just have to copy the modules manually as that build does not auto update from root folder.

Phone: HD2

WINMO: Stock 1.72 + HSPL

Radio: 2.15

ANDROID: MDJ Clean 2.4

Kernel: Hastarin 8.5.3
[HD2 Android SD Development] somebully:
Ok, I read that you (hastarin) didnt know if the latest kernel would work on HTC Desire builds.

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] somebully:
So moving cifs.ko, bcm4329.ko and turn.ko to

/system/lib/modules/

with chmod 755 on all of them?
[HD2 Android SD Development] stumbleine:
Thanks hastarin.

Anyway, just to let you know, the problem has been solved after changing to the cedesmith's HD buid you're using. I think there was something weird with the 4.4 buid for me.

Now I have almost the same battery consumption as with the old mdejjay clean build I used. Speed is also good enough to not complain about it. I feel it's smoother than the HD 4.4 from mdeejay. I've used a new data.img.

The only issue I'm suffering is about strange characters on files and folders on the SD card.

I'm from spain and here we use some not international characters, like accents and there are not showing ok, there looks like chinese characters. So I can't open files that are inside folders with those characters.

I've seen there's is and update about utf8 charset or something like this.

I'll investigate a little as I'd like to stay with cedesmith build.

Maybe I'll ask in his thread.

Thanks again for all your work. Really appreciated here!

Greetings.
[HD2 Android SD Development] slbenz:
Yes, I did the same but from time to time, the Angry Birds icon goes to the green Market logo but still works. Like you, I lost all the previous game information but wanted to go with a fresh start since with my previous experiences on MDJ's builds, it is not as smooth or fluid without a clean data.img file. Thanks for sharing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] neonstorm:
First call = robot voice, then dialer freeze and phone FC

Hey guys, I found a few mentions from a few weeks ago with similar issues, but no resolution. I've put the 8.5.3 in a few different HD builds (MCCM, cedesmith, and one of the m-deejays) and get robovoice on the first call, and all subsequent calls have a VERY slow dialer and once the call is placed, the recipient's phone rings but I get no sound at all. The dialer stays practically unresponsive, and eventually I get a phone FC and the notification bar still flashes green to indicate I'm on a call. Occasionally after a reboot I can dial again, but I've been forced to drop to WM to place calls.

This is running a stock WM ROM, which I need to replace but I'm having some hardware probs that might require a warranty swap.

I am trying to drop back to 8.5.1 to verify if it's a kernel issue and need to track down a DL link.

Anyone else have the issue, or does anyone have any input or suggestions?

Thanks!

Ryan
[HD2 Android SD Development] themadproducer:
I get the RobotVoice or Robo voice with 8.5.3 and Codesmith HD build. That's a first for me. The FC and freezing etc., as well. Not usable at all. My stable setup is 8.5 with with Mdj 2.3.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
r8.5.4 Extreme and Optional Undervolting update

Just thought I'd get this done during my lunch break.

I'll try to get the other versions done tonight and update the first post, but I've been using this myself so thought I'd get it out there.

This is an Extreme Overclock enabled version of my normal kernel.

It is overclocked (from 768MHz to 998MHz) on bootup which means it may not even boot for some people. I've included all the overclock values from mdeejay's kernel for those wanting to go that high.

Personally I DO NOT run that high, I have crashed my phone just experimenting with them. I generally overclock to 1113MHz.

NOTE: BACKUP your /etc/calibration file before starting (just in case).

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! - update.kernel.hastarin.EX.15.12.2010 - Overclocking could damage your phone

NOTE: This does not extract to it's own folder so you can extract it directly to your builds folder if you want. This is more consistent with cedesmith's other updates packages.

I've also made available a simple update to enable undervolting this kernel. It should be able to be used with any of my recent kernels with the undervolting patch. Values used are based on the 925mV undervolt, but you can always edit them to suit your own needs. Again...

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! - update.kernel.hastarin.undervolt925mV.15.12.2010
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
dear sir hastarin,

are there any setcpu settings u recommend?
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
The only "safe" thing I can recommend is to stick with the defaults. ;)

That said, I'm currently running a main profile only with smartass governor, 245 Min, 1305 Max.
[HD2 Android SD Development] D69K:
well it didn't boot for me :D:D

what can i do to get this working ?? (using cedesmith DHD build)

EDIT: oh btw , i saw your post over at cedesmith thread about building your own build, so is there any WIP ?? i mean can we except a hastarin build in the near future ??

(that would be awesome :)) since cedesmith is not updating his build !!
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
If it doesn't boot you probably can't use it. You'll have to wait until I get a normal version out (that isn't overclocked on bootup). I'm trying to confirm another patch first, but of course the people I need to chat to aren't on IRC. :(

No. I don't have the time to make a build at the moment.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Thanks Hastarin. In view of the many caveats in red I will wait for you to give this kernel further touches with your experienced hands and give it a clean bill of health... ;)

A build from the master of the kernels would be awesome but I guess that would drive other cooks out of "business" :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrington:
Hi Hastarin, Hi Guys,

Wanted to get the insights of the people using Cedesmiths's Desire HD Build. Looking into trying it out myself as this will be my first time trying an HD build.

Wanted to know, are you guys using the "Cedesmith Desire HD 1.32.405.6 untouched system" (which is in his first post), not as stable but way faster, or "Cedesmith Desire HD2- all Fixes Included" version in his fourth post, which says its more stable but sacrifices speed?

Thanks would just like to know your experiences and hope it's ok to write this subject here.

Warrington
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
I've got a headache, so no other versions tonight, maybe tomorrow night if all goes well.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
I'm personally using the version from his first post with updates from the 2nd. Though I don't have his latest initrd, I may have to grab that.

The version I've been using is async and I haven't had any issues with corruption. I make sure I use the restart option when needed.

The red bits are mainly due to the overclocking. If that kernel boots for you (there is a minor overclock on bootup) and you don't overclock it you should be fine. ;)

The 925mV update should be fine for most people too, but it's separate, and optional.
[HD2 Android SD Development] d3l1:
just for clarification and out of curiosity: why shouldn't it boot? what's the reason that it may boot but it can also fail to boot? do some builds not work with the overclocking at boot or is it because of the startup routine (old rootfs.img vs. new initrd)? I didn't try it yet, but I'm really curious as to why it should be a problem.
[HD2 Android SD Development] GDT:
can't boot. Stay forever on green HTC screen, cedesmith build here too.
[HD2 Android SD Development] greg17477:
Typo?

hey Hastarin,

i looked into you update.kernel.sh script, not sure but i think there is a typo, check this:

mv /system/lib/hw/lights.qsd8k.so /syste/lib/hw/lights.`getprop ro.board.platform`.so

did you miss the "m" in system or is it supposed to be like that?

cheers
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
Yep, that's a typo.

I'll fix it in the next version I put up, meanwhile it's easy enough to edit and essentially stops the line working at all, so not a huge deal thankfully.

Thanks for checking.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
I've mentioned it multiple times already. It's overclocked on bootup!! From 768MHz to 998MHz Some phones can't handle that for some reason.

I've uploaded an updated version and changed the link to it. Thanks again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] law16:
just updated to hastarin r8.5.4EX with cedesmith's desire hd2 works like a charm booted up perfectly i did edit the update.kernel.sh script were there any other updates hastarin?
[HD2 Android SD Development] GDT:
fixed version works well. Now I'm not stuck at the HTC screen anymore.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
No I just fixed the typo.

I've caught darkstone on IRC and I don't think I'll patch the other line people were asking about just yet.

So I'll get the other versions out after work tomorrow if all goes well.
[HD2 Android SD Development] d3l1:
I know it's overclocked on bootup, my only question was why it sometimes fails (I was wondering about the reason in "for some reason") not more or less. I know it may fail, but I wanted to understand why it can fail.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
No idea. It could be any number if things. Build quality variations or SD card differences perhaps.

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 Android SD Development] Macelangelo77:
Don't take it personal, hastarin's got a headache today :rolleyes:. It appears that not all HD2 are internally the same due to small variations in manufacturing. Because of that not every HD2 is suitable for overclocking. Both of my HD2's handle it perfectly (up to 1190 Mhz), but apparently a lot of them will become unstable when overclocked. So, that's basically the reason why they just might not even boot. As far as I know there's no way to find out, other then trying...

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 Android SD Development] law16:
attempted to over clock using your settings but android just freezes and then crashes. The kernel has increased my speeds so i guess default is good enough for now
[HD2 Android SD Development] bobmarsh72:
Ive recently started using PSFreedom through the HD2.

The problem is the PSAndroid Kernel is based on your 7.7, I want to use your latest work and psfreedom all in one build. I currently have a build just for jailbreaking, and then my everyday build with your latest kernel, and its time consuming rebooting from build to build depending on what I'm doing.

I don't where you would stand on maybe adding the PSFreedom patch to your kernels?

I also believe their are many other people out there that would benefit from this.

And thanks for all your great work!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] d3l1:
Hey no problem, I wasn't offended in any way! I was just curious and wanted to explain my curiosity :)

Maybe I'll give the experimental kernel a try this weekend, just to see if it works or not.
[HD2 Android SD Development] 2udCrRAZdK:
This is interesting, I've never put these two together before.

On a similar note, I have a (slight) issue where I am at home using Wifi and I also have BT running.

I get in my car and BT connects and works fine. As soon as I drive out of Wifi range, BT disconnects also and remains disconnected until I cycle BT on either the phone or the car. It took me a while to figure this out and I think it has been the source of most of my bluetooth complaints looking back.

This is a very minor problem for me now that I know, but I don't recall seeing it posted anywhere, so perhaps it is of use to someone.

Also, this is NOT unique to this kernel, it happens with mdj as well. (and probably others, I just don't remember that well)
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
moment of frustration (fixed)

So i have always used mdeejay builds, currently on clean sense (desire).

So last night i decided to use hastarins latest kernel, and i was getting an amazing 2mA in standby and was satisfied. untill today i noticed the cameras didnt work, even after updating the apk and libs to the ones you have in the OP, it still does not work.

am i doing something wrong?

thanks

EDIT: i am trying the old cam version now, will post back

EDIT 2: worked :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] captainhakan:
Can u please enlight me what does overvoting and undervolting stand for ?

As an average user i am not into those electronic terms.

Overvolting for higher speed and greater cpu damage risk and undervolting for less speed and less risk ?

If that's the point then how does standart kernels perform compared to those undervolted kernels ? faster or slower ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jose makalolot:
under/overvolting and under/overclocking are two different things and shouldn't be confused with each other.

volting is for electric power while clocking is for cpu speed.

When you say under/overvolting, it means you are changing the voltage that powers the cpu.

When you say, on the other hand, under/overclocking, it means you are changing the max clock speed of the cpu.
[HD2 Android SD Development] CR5N:
Another way to look at it is that to make the CPU run faster, you overclock it but that uses more electrical power. To reduce the power you then reduce the voltage (undervoltage).

Phone: HD2

[HD2 Android SD Development] dortok:
I noticed with the 8.5.4 kernel, when I lock the device, the screen goes black but it doesn't actually turn off. This causes high battery consumption. Has anyone ever had this happen? I don't know how to fix this.

You can tell if your screen is actually turned off by going in a dark room. If the screen glows, it is still on.

Edit: Realized there must be an error in the update script because the lights file is now named "lights..so"...so it messed up naming it dynamically based on the board name.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
You're quite right.

For some reason when I use adb shell the getprop line works but it's presumably not working at the stage the update script runs. :(

You can edit the update script to remove or comment out (put a # in front of the line) these two lines:

mv /system/lib/hw/lights.qsd8k.so /system/lib/hw/lights.`getprop ro.board.platform`.so

chmod 0644 /system/lib/hw/lights.`getprop ro.board.platform`.so

Or I updated the link:

http://www.multiupload.com/2K5OCQUCXW

People with other lights file names will just have to manually move/copy it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Hastarin, shouldn't the next release be 8.6 instead of 8.5.4? I thought you have made great strides forward to merit a .6 or what criteria are you using to name the kernels....... Thx for great work buddy.

[HD2 Android SD Development] hongchan2000:
Dear hastarin,

Hello, this is Mic from HK, sorry for my english is not good, here i have 1 question, i cannot update the weather in home tab after i update kernel from r8.5.1 oldcam to r8.5.3 oldcam, i am using Mdeejay_eVo_Sense_v._2.3Revolution, please help to solve this little problem. thank you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
The same as any other kernel.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9694245&postcount=3310

I've noticed I've lost weather today too, but it was working yesterday. I do not think this is due to the kernel!

Looking at logcat the Current Conditions are returning 0. So I am presuming it's an issue with the HTC Weather Widget/service.

The updates have been quite minor so far, but you're probably right, this one probably warrants being 8.6 given the changes. Perhaps I'll do that when I release the versions tonight. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] hongchan2000:
Oh~~IC, just wait to HTC solve it, thank you very much for your reply.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrington:
my first boot on Cedesmith Build took a while (quite a few minutes), so you might have to wait longer.

I also assume that you have made a folder "Desire_hd2" instead of the accustomed "Android" folder? many people had this issue with Cedesmith build. Either change the folder name to "desire_hd2" or change the rel_path in startup.txt to "Android"
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
r8.6 released

If you're using r8.5.4EX this is the same as the standard version except it's not overclocked on bootup.

Feel free to click the thanks button folks. :)
