If your talking about the build.prop you need to copy it to your SD Card then open it with any Text editor and you should be able to find ro.sf.LCD_Density=240 change it to anything lower like 200 or 180 and the display will be smaller... you'll have more space in the home screen... Basically text are smaller and more things are viewable

Then Easest way is to copy it to your SD Card then on your computer or with android itself edit it....... If it gives you an error like cant copy.. use a terminal

su

cp /system/build.prop /sdcard/build.prop

DO NOT SIMPLY use a file brower and go to /system/ and edit the build.prop in there... chances are and i mean very likely that once you save the build.prop in this secured location... it will break android... The file will be saved as an empty file... This has happen to me

The Create this Folder Structure

SdCard: Android/root/system/ <Place the build.prop in the System Folder and restart>

The extension is .prop NOT .prop.txt ... So if you save it in windows it might add the .txt

Once Android is up and running you should notice the difference if it didnt then it didnt find it and resorted to using the one saved in Android it self

DO note that Apps will not scale to the size of the screen, Some will.. To fix this you need the Spare Parts App and at the bottom uncheck Compatibilty or Check it.. You gotta mess with it

And If your running Sense... Well it won't look right... In my experience there was space between widget buttons and the weather was off centered... I just used Launcher pro or ADW

IF it does work then you can use this yo your advantage.. In most builds this should work and some already have the folder layout.. you can save modules to kernel updates with in these folders... YOu just gotta create the folders

EX... Modules in Android are in here.. /system/lib/modules/ ... in your SD Card it would like that but with the Android Folder at the base sdcard/android/system/lib/modules/

Button says set as click on it and set your desire Ringtone as ringstones, alarm,and notifications

I hope this will help abit n give you all hope ,.this is one of the best Rom.

this work around has initially solved two issue the only few more left is camera and this rom is fully fuctional then we can concerntrate to erase windows internal memory and load android bootloader into hd2... this phone was ment to be droid.

Update for htc desire hd rom for hd2

in order to set the ringtones you want to use, in this rom the media, notification tones are build into the rom , i dont know how to edit that file that would point it to the system/media rather then sdcard/media,

if the developer can route the code after he can install two app aru ringtone and mp3 music download app from the market, that will create a media folder onthe sdcard there the ringtone link from the home screen is pointing to it.

so if they can modify it,

now if you want to copy all your ringtone as before on my earlier post you couldnt but after installing the mp3 music download app it will create media folder on the sdcard and all you have to do is dump your mp3's in there and your ready...

i hope this would help if not ask questions or email me i can then upload the whole android from my sd on here.

Hi All!

I have tried installing with the proper procedure, and each time it takes more than 45mins with the black screen.

1) Copy the Android folder to my SD card root

2) Lanuch CLRCAD.exe

3) Launch haret.exe

4) White text lines appear for 6 secs

5) Black screen with red led for ages

6) Abort by taking out batt each time round

I have tried more than 5 times and its draining my batt to min. I also change the startup.txt to:

set cmdline "rel_path=Android"

One thing to note is that I also upgraded the original HTC rom version to "ROM Version: 1.66.707.1" from the HTC website

And I have wasted half a day just to install, reinstall, reformat my SD card (more than 3 times)

Any kind soul pls point out what I have been missing in any steps pls? I am desperate!!!

issue about ur struggle with hd2

You need to have original Rom or HTC hd2 Rom 1.6 or 1.7 then download hspl 2.08 n then flash the radio 2.08 I m using 2.10.50 something

If u can run haret n .having funny screen then u only need to flash the radio as mention

That's it it will take 10mins cause will create 1gb data file

Make sure u delete the one it may have created

Thanks for the reply, I am a noobie here.

So how do I upgrade a Radio Rom?

Are there many complicated steps involved?

I installed with a HSPL 2.08 using Active Sync, and then :

1) Active Sync with my PC

2) in Windows Explorer, I go to double click on the customRuu.exe (the RUU_Signed.nbh is also in the folder)

3) then the program pops up for permission. And afterwards nothing happens? is that how I flash the Radio Rom?

After disconnecting I restart my mobile and its still 2.06 Radio Rom. Pls guide me here.

Thanks a lot!

Hi all who have helped me, I have successfully installed Desire HD rom on my phone!

however, Contacts setting seem to have some glitch, keeps crashing.

Anyone know how to auto transfer Sim contacts into Phone contacts?

Or does it have to be done manually?

Great ROM!

I'm really looking forward to more stable versions based on this one.

By the way: ringtone selection worked or me. Maybe because I have a 'separate' media folder outside the Android folder... I didn't verified that.

I had problems with energy consumption (I seemed that the ROM always worked on 1 GHz and so it really drained the battery), but SetCPU with Perflock Disabled option worked.

But removed the ROM again due to the not working camera. So waiting for a version where this is working... ;-)

Once again: a great ROM with some really nice new features!

Yeah you cant get it to boot into Android, but if you google a "HD2 dual boot" you can make it so you never really "see" WinMo, it asks you if you want to start Android while it loading

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vysus:
Tired of waiting for an upgrade of this build, today I tried to optimize and actualize it applying the following steps.

Be aware that I have an EU Leo, running latest Dutty's Family series ROM and 2.12 radio, a SD 16Gb Mobile Ultra class 4 on which mdeejay's Froyo HD build was previously running on.

- Data drops: ok, with this build it randomly happens, but IT happens and it's quite unbearable, especially when you're waiting for a mail or so. Convert this build into a RMNET one following these suggests: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829068;

- Keypad and LEDs: download latest Hastarin v8 and replace "lights.qsdko.so" only WITHOUT removing any other file from system\hw.

Restart after every change.

- Battery drain: download latest SuperPower from the Market and set it the way you like, with push mail and data always on I register 8% per hour. SetCPU? No, thanx...

Try and let me know :)

Ya i have the same question what does "might want to update the kernel to hastarin r8" mean. i am downloading this Rom link right now.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] leginag:
Simply: it means you update a couple of the files with newer ones.

Thread to Hastarin's work: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=787588

Read the instructions.

But you essentially download Hastarin v8 or 7.7 (or whichever) and use those files to replace the ones from the Android folder from the 'ROM' you download.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] geronemo:
OK so basically what you are saying is that to try "Mdeejay_FroYo_HD_v._3.7" i should 1st copy it in android folder on sd card (just like in installing any android rom) than follow instructions in readme file of Hastarins's work and that should do it right??

Also do i need to delete all the android folders and files i have of the present desire hd rom before copying Mdeejay??

thanks for helping :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kencfk:
Hi, so in order to install "Mdeejay_FroYo_HD_v._3.7"

I had made some custom ringtones thru iTunes and a ringtone app. They show up under Menu/Settings/Sound/Phone Ringtone. Most show up on the sd card under media either Ringtones (a folder I created for the iTunes one) and media/audio/ringtones.

But when I go to system/media thru Root Explorer, only the stock ones show. Using eVils 1.18 rom.

How can I delete the ones under Menu/Settings/Sound/Phone Ringtone? If I can't see them thru root explorer. Or, am I looking in wrong place?

Ken
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
Files in the /system/media folder are the system ringtones. The ones that you saved are on the sdcard under /media.

The ones you see under settings are all the ringtones from both the system and sdcard.

I personally don't use any of the system ringtones...so I delete them with Root Explorer. But, to see the effects...you must reboot. At this point...you'll only see your saved ringtones when you go back into settings. Hope that's what you were asking to solve.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
Thanks SiNJiN76,

I now understand.

Problem now is I have some ringtones in Menu/Settings/Sound/Phone Ringtone that don't show on the sd or root explorer. They don't even have the right song tied to the title. Almost like they multi duplicated.

How can I delete them. My guess is I can't unless I restore.

Thanks,

Ken
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
I'm a bit stumped here. Maybe use the search function on Root Explorer for those file names? I know that I often overlook the search function all the time. Maybe the app that you used is somehow populating the menu with those ringtones hidden in its own folder somewhere? Hope I've been able to give you clues to solve this mystery of yours. :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
No problem,

It is a wierd one, I have 7 ringtones titled Hotel California that play Gypsy. Not sure how they got there or why there is 7 of them.

They only appear on the phone dropdown menu for ringtones, nowhere else.

I'll try the search.

EDIT: Search found them. Deleted, rebooted, gone. Thanks for the tip. It is a forgotten function.

Ken
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Learnerspermit:
when I try and delete it says I can't because the file is system read only file. Checked properties, but it doesn't show that (like a normal computer property list). So how do you change this so I can delete the stock ringtones which I never use?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
Be sure to use a file explorer that has root access. If you are using the latest version of root explorer, it asks you if you temporarily want to mount as read/write (something like that). Once deleted restart the phone.

So I am really liking the aria :D, but I am wondering what more could I do with it if I root it. So can someone tell me the pros and cons of rooting. I hear that rooting takes some time so is it worth it. What roms can I run, and will I be disappointed :( when running them because they crash. Thanks
[HTC Aria General] ls377:
Rooting the Aria takes around 15 minutes if you do it right (use the unrevoked method).

Pros-custom ROMs, add your own mods, etc.

Cons-voids warranty (supposedly...I've heard HTC won't deny your claim)

There's probably more of each, but they don't apply unless you're into programming.

There are two main custom ROMs for the aria:

Liberated-removes ATT bloatware, enables sideloading...great ROM when I used it, won't crash (under normal circumstances) because its basically stock. Great if you like Sense.

Cyanogenmod-no Sense, adds new customizabillity, no bloatware/sideloading block/etc...also great, you might experience small problems with GPS and bluetooth (just from what I've heard) but nothing major.

You can check out the Aria Development forum here for more information.
[HTC Aria General] klyon:
I still haven't done it with mine, even though I had my G1 rooted and running cyanogen within a day. The difference? The G1 wasn't completely functional stock; the Aria is. As I had to go on a 5 week tour of Central Asia right after I got the Aria, all I did was unlock for a parade of strange sim cards. It falls into the "not broke, don't fix" category.

That said, now that I'm back for a little while I'll probably root and at least put liberated on it. The att apps don't take much room or cause any trouble; it's just knowing that they're there and can't be taken off...

If that makes sense to you, root.

If not, don't. The phone works great and has less, well, "idiosyncrasies," shall we say, than cyanogenmod ever did.
