I agree. With the latest hastarin kernels beginning with 8.2 a number of things seem to be not compatible with this rom. my biggest problem is the huge battery drain as well as the now broken camera. i have tried installing as shown in hastarins thread without any success. I think its time Phire built us a new rom which is fully compatible with the new advances in the kernels. Please Phire dont abandon us now .....:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] socrated13:
phire!

can we look forward to an update on this build soon? :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] xuix:
Hi playstation,

i've found a solution !!! :)

just replace (after backup it) the HTCCamera.apk file in /system/app/HTCCamera.apk (using Root Explorer or another apps).

it work for me.

about the battery drainage, i'm testing it now and i will report my test after some hour of use.

PS: i always have my 5mA of drainage in standbye mode

EDIT: 75% drained in less than 7 hours, yes there is a compatibility problem with Hastarin 8.4 and this rom...

doing a last test tonight without current widget on, and post tomorow more result..
[HD2 Android SD Development] Khalidmhamedi:
CONNEXION via HD2 HOTSPOT

First Thank you phiredrop for this rom really some of the best ever, but I wonder if there is a fix for the connexion via hotspot : the PC connect to the HD2 but there is no internet:(

via cable there is no problem...

Thank you for your hard work;)

How did everyone go about getting the camera to work after installing harastin 8. 4? Getting just dark screen when I open cam or camera.
[HD2 Android SD Development] socrated13:
@perez

Just use the lib camera files(all of them) from mdeejay s6 kernel, that worked for me.

Edit: I have no battery problems with 8.4 on this build. I just replaced initrz and haret along with the kernel in this build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Perez827:
So it didn't work but it could be because I have already installed the new desire camera apk and the libs from the desire camera from the links harastin provides. I think I screwed my camara. Any other tip s? I'm going to keep trying different things.
[HD2 Android SD Development] socrated13:
I think you can just replace your system.ext2 file in the /android folder with the stock build(from the source zip) to get the old camera back.

Or you could always just use a fresh android install and save your data.img file. Then replace the kernel stuff(with libs)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Perez827:
Cool going to try this tomorrow. Thanks for the help
[HD2 Android SD Development] Perez827:
camera?

So i replaced the system ext from the backup Android folder i had of phire1.7 then i grabbed the camera libs from s6 but I still get the black screen. Am i suppose to copy anything other than these 4 files from the s6 kernel:

liboemcamera.so

libcameraservice.so

libcamera_client.so

libcamera.so
[HD2 Android SD Development] steve austin:
for some reason no build allows me to establish my yahoo mail accunt. it always "authentification fail. please verify user name and password". does anyone have a fix for this?

Also, my home screen will NOT default to launcer pro. Sense keeps pop'n up eventhough it is not set as the default. luncher pro never sticks. anybody else have this problem or know a fix? thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kashinoda:
How is the battery life on this compared to Mdeejay EVO Rev 2.3? I'm thinking of going back to Windows Mobile because with basic MP3 and some WiFi it's dead in no time at the moment.
[HD2 Android SD Development] steve austin:
i get 6 hours - even. I used to barely get 4. get juiceplotter app so you can see an estimated battery life reading.

i installed this window rom cuz it is basic and sense is stripped.

it allows you to boot into android faster. it also includes the boot loader. make sure you select the 3 second option though when you do.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mb:
Still the best - please keep it going!

Been trying a lot of new builds out of interest, but keep coming back to this. The best by far. So reliable. Everything (and I mean everything) works.

Battery life isn't bad. It's true about SetCPU - you just don't need it. 0-4% ma loss in standby.

Please Mr Phiremod, keep it going!
[HD2 Android SD Development] phiredrop:
Hey everyone!

Just wanted to drop by and say sorry for not being very vocal on the forums lately. I am currently very busy with finishing up school and job hunting. Because of this, I probably will not get a chance to update my builds until the new year. Thanks to everyone for their encouragement and support.

Until then..
[HD2 Android SD Development] the-f-master:
hey im new here!

i booted the android for the first time and after the android gui has shown the screen went black so i did reset and since then every time i get to the point that i cancel the lock it says something like process.com has stopped warking and if i click the force stop button it just shows again so i reset it again.

can someone figure out what's the problem?
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
All the best with school work and job hunting buddy. Unfortunately it looks like your rom fans will have to look elsewhere as we wait for you. Orphans we shall be! :eek: I have noticed that with the newer/latest hastarin kernels a few things appear to go wrong with this rom. The biggest problem is huge battery drain as well as broken camera. The recommended fix for the camera does not work.

Its so sad that I have to abandon my best and most desirable rom for now. I wish you could cook just one more rom which includes all the latest improvements to the android hd2 rom as am sure one more would see us through the year:rolleyes: But I understand duty calls. Once more thanks and all the best. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] phiredrop:
Thanks for the good wishes.

The battery drain was caused by certain changes in the kernel, which is now fixed (see the updated r8.5 release notes for details). As for the new camera apk and libs, I have not yet tested anything beyond hastarins modified 8.2 kernel, so I will have to take a look once I get the free time again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Thank you very much for your response. There are a number of fixes that have been achieved including Latema's fix for data drops (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824413), fix for g-sensor calibration problems etc. Whereas some of them are easy to sort out ourselves others are too complex for general user that we look forward to our chef to cook the goodies into the rom. ;) These are some of the recent developments in the roms that we are hoping you could cook for us one last one before you bury yourself in school work. :D

I shall try to fix the camera. As for the huge battery drain I have had no luck. I changed to Hastarin's latest 8.5 kernel (after beta) but I am still suffering huge battery drain with 1.7 stock. I will try and change the radio and see if there will be any change to battery drain. :mad:

Apparently Hastarin's 8.5 kernel appears to have fixed the battery drain in your Ace rom which I also boot from time to time. Can hardly wait for the day the Ace camera and ereader will be fixed! :cool:

Best regards.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kgbmagnumpi:
I had the same issue. I upgraded to Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14 and now it is working fine. No battery drain any more. (r8.2)
[HD2 Android SD Development] dazzyb2k3:
Yes, very best wishes phiredrop and thank you for providing the best sense build i've used (beleive me, i tried a LOT!)

Amazing work. You are too talanted to abandon us completely, i still hope we will see another phireMOD Skinny EVO when you have the time.

Take care and thanks again.

I lose 3g and GPRS every 10 mins. The only way to recover coms is to stop/start the data connection which is a PITA.

Can I ask for the patch you made to receive proper sized mms? Mine is too small.

But this build is the fastest so far compared to other builds.

Thanks phire.

Is it a HD based ROM?
[HD2 Android SD Development] loaferkan:
I formatted the Sd Card, and put in the Android, it was a complete new flash, upon getting the start of the Android, I got some message that the network is out...so I used my wifi to get the setting, got back and rest the phone, and again the same problem....worked for a few seconds, and the network is lost?

very fast build, but the android phone things show up, and the connection to the network is lost? any help on that...also there is another folder, what should I do with that? I mean when I extracted the download, I got two set of folders, and on in android and other is something else...what is that far?
[HD2 Android SD Development] phiredrop:
Please read the entire OP. It explains why there are two folders.

Also, it may be normal for this version to have the phone process force close upon first boot..
[HD2 Android SD Development] phiredrop:
No, see my Ace Rom in my signature if you want desire hd. For daily use, I recommend evo based as its much faster than desire hd.
[HD2 Android SD Development] phiredrop:
Thanks :)

Hi Phiremod,

I've been trying out a lot of builds lately and install yours today. I like the DesireHD builds, but they're just too 'heavy'. I have a beautiful phone and I like to experience maximum speed by using light, clean builds. That's what I've found in your build! I'm a big fan of hastarins' kernels which definitely contribute to a snappy user experience. Great build, thanks for that! Install went flawless, was pleasantly surprised by the speed! Keep up the good work!

After a third reboot I'm down to 3-6 mA, so drainage is perfect.

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 Android SD Development] rigosj:
Wifi doesnt work for me. I have restarted my hd2 many times in vain. My wifi is an open home network, but i am unable to get it. With other builds it worked fine, but not with this one. I am giving up on this build. Bye
[HD2 Android SD Development] Macelangelo77:
Hi Phiremod,

I've found one minor bug in startup.txt. You've included:

set cmdline "wifi.mac_address=00:11:22:33:44:55"

which was the parameter for v1 of the wifi.mac patch. In v2 (which is included in Hastarin 8.5.1), the parameter is changed to:

set cmdline "bt.mac=00:11:22:33:44:55 wifi.mac=00:12:23:34:45:56"

Anyone who wishes the insert the real mac-adress, should change startup.txt to the second line of code as displayed above. The bt.mac parameter is optional, wifi.mac should be change to your real mac-adress.

Sincerely,

Mac

Hi Phire,

Up to yesterday this was the best and fastest ROM I tried. with 3-8ma battery usage!

So far some bugs:

1. Call dialing issue with 1- infront of numbers ( I hope I fixed this with the helpful post above)

2. Cannot install some applications like angry birds (!)

3. Battery drain seemed to increase :(

Does tethering work on thia build? I have had no luck
[HD2 Android SD Development] mb:
So I've been away for a few days and came back to this....

THANK YOU for the early Christmas present!

This is by far the best Android build there is. I use it solidly every single day and it is ultra reliable.

Angry Birds 1.4.2 DOES work. You have to unmount the SD card. It took a few goes, including an install from the Marketplace twice, but I got there in the end.

I don't think I've found an app yet which didn't work.

Please keep up development on this. I am more than happy to donate (5YF73238T08040236).
[HD2 Android SD Development] goosertje:
I placed the file on the sd card. After that I go to the OI File manager and copied the file, but I can’t find the folder where I should place this file in. What is the folder I should place the file in? Is shared prefs the folder? I can't find this one.
[HD2 Android SD Development] goosertje:
Found the solution, with the OI File manager you can't see that directory. After installing Root Explorer I could find the folder and replace the file. Now I can make phone calls! So Vincy91 thanks for the solution. and phiredrop for this rom.
[HD2 Android SD Development] phiredrop:
Thank you very much for the kind donation.

[HD2 Android SD Development] RiffyDivine:
I am loading this up now from the first time, I hope it is as good as people say. Just want something simple and stable that can keep a stable data feed. Anything I should know well it's making the data file to make it run well?

No data, need to setup the apn. Is there a file for it so I can just keep a copy and not need to re-imput it for each build I try?

Well I keep getting weird lag, like from the very early builds used to have. I think I just need to format and reload it, and that should see if that is the issue. Maybe some junk left over from my last build I had on here.
[HD2 Android SD Development] oniddy:
android is done and smoother everyday more ..wassup with usb (ff)camera

well i was just thinking do anybody knows somebody that knows somebody that knows somebody that makes usb front facing camera for htc hd2 for video chat? Lol this would be awesome take your little usb front facing camera out and there u go because let me tell you these developers got android going smooth for me like butter with jdms 1.4 android version and vbn oct 13 (3.14) and radio 2.15 ,and of course class 6 super sandisk if that helps or just a good fast one.the jdms 1.4 u could find at http://android.hd2roms.com/ not saying this is not stable with out one single problem like i am with jdms 1.4 but i havent tried this one which should be a finish fully working build since this guy was one of my first favorite android this guy and motoman got really imprese until then of course hahaaa ,,but those bad fillings are gone,mdjay and darkstone and others because they made it better and better everyday god bless u guys,but yeah whats good with the video chat hey u never know

[HD2 Android SD Development] RiffyDivine:
Seems I got a problem now, I installed it last night and it was sluggish. So I formated and went to reinstall it again on a clean SD card, and now it loads up for the first time in about 2 mins and has all the old settings still there and shows a droid anim at boot and not the other one it did the first time I installed it. Anyone got any ideas?
[HD2 Android SD Development] mb:
You're very welcome. More donations to come if Gingerbread can be ported as a SkinnyEvo! I've just read the specs and the VoIP would be essential for me. Thank you in advance.

I've had 2.0 running for a few days now and it has not crashed once. Even the Christmas edition of Angry Birds installed fine (unmount SD card first).

I'll say it again - this is still the most perfect Android build there is for the HD2.
[HD2 Android SD Development] phiredrop:
Something is not being copied correctly or got mixed with some other files.

I would 1) reformat the sd card 2) re-download version 2 (or unzip your original download) it again straight to the SD card) and go from there.
[HD2 Android SD Development] RiffyDivine:
Okay so I was right, there should be that circle icon with the sparkes going around it when loading. I will re-download it just to make sure, cause I have formatted it 3 times now with the wm tools on the phone. Yet when it boots it does the droid thing and then it has data working (last time I had to manual do the apn) as well as all my other settings such as citys for time and weather (I deleted them all)
[HD2 Android SD Development] phiredrop:
I would recommend using either Windows or Linux to format.. I'm not convinced the formatting tool in WinMo works very well
[HD2 Android SD Development] RiffyDivine:
Kind of boned there till after I am done at the office, I can't access the format command from both windows or commmand prompt. So do you know anyway to do it just using wm?

Yeah no dice, it's loading again using the droid yellow eye. Trying the storagetools app for WM, since it will do a much better format job. Okay using the default WM program it was always leaving some hidden files behind, this new one just nuked the card clean. No left over hidden data of any kind. So let's try this again.

Damn, showed your load screen then a flash and it's droid again. I guess I maybe sol here about getting it working. Also it still goes from launch to boot in under 2 mins so I must be doing something wrong.

Should I just delete the data file that comes in the zip and see?
[HD2 Android SD Development] steve austin:
I love this build, but I can not, for the life of me, stop it from crashing from high CPU strain. I can't download more than 5 market updates without the CPU running high and if a call comes in at the same time or an mms comes in SeePU shows a bright orange in CPU activity and it an automatic reboot.

I seem to be one of the few who conststantly has this problem. So I reformatted my memory card and started from scratch to make sure it was nothing lingering from previous builds. This build is great, mms file size up to 2mb - awesome. MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.1_MDJ_S7.3HD uses a kernal that runs perfectly (for me at least) but the mms capabilities are lacking. Is there a way that I can use this kernel with this build without it crashing and if so what do I have to do? I don't want to loose the mms size window or the functionality. any help? thanks.
