Thanks for the explanation, thought it was just a shortcut for reboot.

Anyways, figured i'll update regarding the data issue. Per your last tip by removing the password, it didn't work for me. However, another guy mentioned above saying have to connect to wifi first before set up the APN so I connect to wifi at home and then just re-saved the APN setting and data is now working!

after couple of hours of play after flashing your ROM and got the following issues:

1. screen auto rotate is not working. (it's enabled in the setting)

2. not sure if this is a bug or i missed something, I turned off all the feedback settings but still not sure how to remove the haptic feed back from keyboard/dial pad.

besides those, everything is great!

i want to use michyprima kernel but theres no system folder in this rom to put the files to have wifi working can someone help.
[HD2 Android SD Development] gwbard:
I assume you're referring to michy's r1? Easy:

In the download there are 3 module files; make a new folder tree sdcard\Android\root\system\lib\modules and copy the *.ko files there.

\sdcard:
└──Android
└──root
└──system
└──lib
└──modules
├ bcm4329.ko
├ tun.ko
└ yaffs.ko

Then copy the zImage to sdcard\Android & reboot. Worked OK for me...
[HD2 Android SD Development] DAP420:
Why not r11

But I think I used his evo based because I didn't get the camera flash to work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] gwbard:
sure, that's worth a try too -- either way the same principle applies; if a kernel comes with modules the Android/root/system/lib/modules method works to apply 'em.

the flash doesn't bother me much 'cuz I don't use the camera often -- the ppp data and gps/compass fixes are more important to me.

so far, michy's r1 has been the smoothest. just a few data 'stalls' here & there, and the gps does seem to fix a bit faster.

wifi & bluetooth work just fine, too.
[HD2 Android SD Development] m0j09987:
this could be a dumb question but how do i get the gps to work... whenever i turn the gps on and open google map.... it takes forever to load and then in the end it says unable to get location... help?:confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] sumflipnol:
I'm still testing, but I can tell I love this build already!:D It's very smooth, it's fast, it's light, it's great!

Thanks for your work.:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] ktran1588:
Hey Phire,

What version of kernel you are using, is it the 4.1? Because if you use SetSPU it will skip the 998mhz step. That is what I usually set to...
[HD2 Android SD Development] G1rome:
Do I have to flash the spl before flash the rom or I can just flash it right away? Im trying to port my bro hd2 to android. Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android SD Development] nobnut:
What always works for me is simply over-write everything except data.img. Back up first!
[HD2 Android SD Development] nobnut:
Short answer - yes. But read the relevant ROM threads for specific instructions.
[HD2 Android SD Development] asomnath:
Superb!!

Superb Built ... Installed it yesterday and its working well .....

The only one issue i faced was when i got a phone call , when i was speaking on Nimbuzz , the whole OS hanged and i had to pull out the battery and reboot ....

Till now very satisfied ... will keep you updated ...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Carnivore9:
I can't receive image texts!
[HD2 Android SD Development] peepsnet:
I'll give it a try.

Thanks,

Don
[HD2 Android SD Development] nobnut:
Really!!

Oh no!!

How's about you search the intertubes for your provider's MMS settings? Maybe that is an idea?

And then... maybe you could put them into your phone...

I would give you a step by step but it'll be more entertaining for me this way.

:p
[HD2 Android SD Development] peepsnet:
Upgrading 1.2 to 1.3

I tried to upgrade the files(all except data.img) and the wifi would not work.

I am now trying to replace the data.img and see what we get...

I will update and let you know...

Don

p.s.: Cant wait to download and reinstall all the apps and setup them all up again!!! Away goes another 5-7 hours of my life!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] nobnut:
Nightmare. Did you try to turn wifi and get the errror message? That is normal, if you toggle it, all should be ok.

I haven't had your particular problem before.

Unlucky :(

EDIT: Still, that's all part of the fun of running Android on an HD2 :)

PS Next time, copy the new build to a second SD card and boot up. Then copy your data.img to the new card and boot again. All should be good. I do that every time.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mumbo_jumbo:
the only build without data drop, fast n stable, thank you
[HD2 Android SD Development] silvscorp:
can anyone disable the haptic feed back on keyboard and dialpad? I've disabled both vibrat and haptic feed back option under setting - sound but no difference.

Also, when I wake up the device from sleep, i have to press the power key twice. Is it normal with this build?

Not a major deal but I found the when connected in USB storage mode, the transfer speed is very slow. takes 7 mins to copy over a 350MB file. just want to know if this is normal with current build as well.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nobnut:
Download Spare Parts from Market and disable through there.

:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] nickolaskg:
Thanks alot! This is the fastest Rom one ever had!
[HD2 Android SD Development] nobnut:
None of those behaviours are normal. If I were you, I'd reformat the SD card and start again, making sure I was using a sensible WinMo ROM and radio. The alternative is to put the phone in the blender. Option 1 is better.
[HD2 Android SD Development] gejenn:
This is the most fastest and stable for me!!

only problem for me is how to hide sim contacts?
[HD2 Android SD Development] nobnut:
Open 'People', hit menu, select 'view', then uncheck everything apart from 'phone'.
[HD2 Android SD Development] wardh:
Holy smokes this one is really great! Smooth! Many thanks! :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] silvscorp:
will try per your advise.

I am using Miri's v17 rom and radio 2.12.50 so I guess these are "sensible" ?

would it work if I copy all the files from SD to computer, reformat then copy everything back again or I should reinstall the android from scratch after format?

Also, for reformat, is there a specific cluster size I should use?

thanks,
[HD2 Android SD Development] nobnut:
If you have a second SD card, try with that first...

I use this ROM and this radio

As for formatting, use FAT 32kb clusters.

Format your card from your PC, not from your HD2.

Good luck.

EDIT: Yes, it would work the way you describe in terms of copying from device to PC and back again after format.
[HD2 Android SD Development] fuego77:
no matter what i do i CANNOT get data to wokr ugh =[
[HD2 Android SD Development] nobnut:
Have you tried inputting your provider's APN settings correctly? Using this?
[HD2 Android SD Development] CB620:
only problem is music skips how can I fix this. Best build I have used. Ten thumbs up man. Cant wait for future updates
[HD2 Android SD Development] eddyy:
:D

Hey all,

to make is short...

thanks so much for you build...after 10 mins using i can say wow,

but what i will say

LOCK SCREEN IS WORKING !!!!!!!!!!

i mean when u try to unlock the device after pressing the lock button....no waiting to unlock screen..

i tryed really alot of android builds and i need to say this one is the best for now and "for me"
[HD2 Android SD Development] rlmjpfll:
some help needed...

after I run haret.exe it starts to boot like normal android then just goes to the white HTC screen and stays on it. I cannot get

any andriod to boot now. any ideals or help is greatful/
[HD2 Android SD Development] themaster1978:
Phiredrop,

Any reason why the USA English language option was removed from the earlier builds? I am on tmous and all my apps like amazon mp3 are giving me UK pricing and options. Is there a patch to readd USA English? Thank you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] motoman234:
Your suppose to see the white HTC screen, be patient.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rlmjpfll:
Thank you... it was not that way on my other builds.
[HD2 Android SD Development] fuego77:
yes ive tried everything -_-

even says "E" but no data whatsoever
[HD2 Android SD Development] Anoon86:
I don't have any of those problems, also my data works flawlessly. Once I walk out of my house and out of the range of wifi, my data is enabled and running in under 30 secs. I never get how people mess up their phones so much nothing works right for them. I'm a noob believe me and as long as you follow the instructions of how to install everything, you shouldn't have problems.
[HD2 Android SD Development] peepsnet:
this I can try... I installed 1.3 on a new SD card just by chance!!

Don
[HD2 Android SD Development] nobnut:
Have you changed kernels? Some do not support PPP. You might need a RMNET compatible kernel.

Where do you live in the world? It is possible that your provider doesn't support your existing setup with PPP.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nobnut:
Have you run any previous Android builds successfully? (Do you know what you are doing?)

Was this after a clean install? Have you messed around with kernel files?

Are you using a compatible WinMo ROM and radio?

A little more information will help us help you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] BornStylez:
Where can i activate the delivery-report for SMS on this build?

I don't mean the SEND-report ... !

The delivery-report reports me the date and the time when the SMS is arrived on the other mobile!

Pls help me
[HD2 Android SD Development] devabhishek:
is there any proper 100% fix for the dialing issue (011) on this build ??????????????????????????????????

edit:- solved (replace the com.android.phone_preferences.xml file in /data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs with the com.android.phone_preferences.xml file from the folder gscript using root explorer )
[HD2 Android SD Development] nobnut:
Calm down, I have pm'd you the fix. It is mentioned earlier in this thread, next time, read and learn before the tantrum. :p
[HD2 Android SD Development] nobnut:
You have posted this 4 times now.

That feature is network/operator dependant. Ask them.

You don't even say which country you are in, let alone which operator has the misfortune of being your supplier. How is anyone supposed to answer your question without being a mind-reader? :mad:
[HD2 Android SD Development] BornStylez:
I'm from germany...

My Operator supports this...on other Builds it works ... :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] devabhishek:
hey thanx 4 the help.. nobnut... :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] belenguer:
is the best sense build!
[HD2 Android SD Development] devabhishek:
without any doubt ..... the best build so far. if you try it once i bet you will never want to go back to any other builds or the windows on ur hd2 :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] norpan111:
can you actually change the kernel BEFORE you put the android folder on your phone?
[HD2 Android SD Development] norpan111:
Where is the file I need to replace for dial fix? Can't find it in Android folder

Edit: there is no file I can add under load in gscript either?
[HD2 Android SD Development] norpan111:
Edit: lol...accidentally downloaded v1.2 instead of the newest... too bad I have to set everything up again :( got everything working. Gsensor+camera with flash etc.. oh well
[HD2 Android SD Development] dashrink:
This Build is tha BOMB (1.3). Everything is smooth as butter and the battery life is great, BUT im having this issue in 1.3 build. I wake up my phone from standby, and all of a sudden its asking me to put in my PIN??? Any kind soul helpful with a solution, coz this is the only thing thats preventing me to use it every day!

Thank you.

EDIT: sorry. I wasnt specific anough. I have added the APN succesfully, but the com.android.phone service keeps resetting itself. Suddenly i have no service and i have to punch in the PIN again. Have tried to restart several times. Have tried to build up a data.img from scratch. Didnt help. It could be the PPP vs RMNET issue perhaps???
[HD2 Android SD Development] dashrink:
Dood its easy to find if you search! Took me 5 seconds.

Here is the fix:

replace the com.android.phone_preferences.xml file in /data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs with the com.android.phone_preferences.xml file from the folder gscript using root explorer

The file is in the gscript folder (version 1.3)

Hi guys. WIFI and USB tethering doesnt work in this build? And I cant seem to switch between GSM and WCDMA.
[HD2 Android SD Development] norpan111:
Yeah if you took the time to read my whole post you would know I do not run the latest version and there is no file there. But I searched and found that file. I did know how to fix it.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Carnivore9:
Thanks for being an asshole for that response but I did search on the forum before posting.....

It seems that tweaking the settings before the first-time boot does mess up general settings.
[HD2 Android SD Development] norpan111:
I tried this with recommended kernel r11 and I get freezes and sods :( I can't have wifi on because then it will freeze on lockscreen. Random freezes here and there. But the camera is working good with flash and the data is freaking stable!

Yea my GPS is not working as well. It keeps 'waiting for gps'. Tried waiting for about 25 mins and it didn't lock in yet.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jackstraxx:
Right, have tried the standard route in Settings and using "Spare Parts", but I cannot seem to disable the haptic feedback for the keyboard...

Have also tried reformatting, rebooting, you name it.

What's going on?!?!? :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] silvscorp:
same here, i can't disable the haptic feedback in both dial pad and keyboard.

I had some other problems before but everything is fixed after reformat the SD and reinstalled the android. But the haptic feedback problem still exist though I've unchecked this under the display setting.

I've tried Mdeejay foryo HD 3.41 built and I am able to disable under dial pad but not the keyboard part. I guess this is a common problem?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jackstraxx:
It's not a problem I've encountered on other builds, but in every other respect this is probably the best build I've used. If there's a fix for the vibrations I would be very happy indeed!
[HD2 Android SD Development] sumflipnol:
I don't get any music skipping/lagging/speeding up.:cool:
[HD2 Android SD Development] phiredrop:
Hello all,

For those unable to disable vibrate on keyboard, I was able to successfully disable it in 1.3 by going to Settings > Language & Keyboard > Text input > Uncheck "Vibrate when typing"

If your problem still persists, I would recommend a format and fresh install.

Hope you all are enjoying SkinnyEVO!

-phiredrop
[HD2 Android SD Development] silvscorp:
Thanks!! that worked. Is there a setting for the dial pad as well? I couldn't find this setting.

Also, is there a way to keep the screen on while plugged in? I checked this setting but screen still goes black after a set time. I Know there is app for it but I'd rather use the built-in function if possible.
[HD2 Android SD Development] gwbard:
@phiredrop:

really diggin' this build -- fantastic -- but can't wait to see what you do with a "themed" version :D

if I may make one request/suggestion, please include battery % increments... changing icons/graphics directly to the framework is easy enough, but I have so far been unsuccessful in getting the extra % increments to work :o

if you could figure that out for the next build it would truly be wonderful :)

thanks again -- superb work!
[HD2 Android SD Development] dashrink:
Didnt do the trick. Still having issues. Woke up this mornin and the phone said 'enter pin'. Damn! Other ideas?
[HD2 Android SD Development] vplaza96:
Decided to give Android a try and used this build. Running it on top of Kumar's V2.9 Premium ROM and Radio 2.15.50.14.

Everything appears to be working but my main issue is that it seems to have a hard time staying on the T-Mo network. In WinMo with Kumar's ROM, my HD2 can stay on the network while at home fairly consistently. In Android, it drops the connection randomly and sometimes has a difficult time getting back on the T-Mo network.

Are there any tweaks to try and get a more consistent lock on the signal?

Oh, and battery life seems to be a quite a bit shorter in Android than in WinMo. I've had to charge it in the mid-afternoon two days in a row now. I've never had to do that when all I ran was WinMo, even when I first got the phone.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mio75:
Hi all,

This is really a nice smoooooooth build - thanks!

I have however one problem - I can't get the dialfix to run :(

The dial_fix file says: mv /sd/GScript/com.android.phone_preferences.xml /data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs/

But I don't see a /sd folder and the /data folder is empty when I browse with ASTRO.... :confused:

Please explain what to do and how. GScript says 'no such file...' when changed /sd to /sdcard/ it still wont run says 'cross-device link' ??

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] richpin2000:
Re-type the script like this: cp /sdcard/GScript/com.android.phone_preferences.xml /data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs/

then reboot.

worked 100% on mine without the need for the root explorer. hope this helps.

hey when i try to download a mms it says generic network failure and wont download is there a way to fix this?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dashrink:
did u enter your apn mms settings?

try that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] victorfungcy:
this would be a very good build,

if there weren't dashes in the telephone numbers
[HD2 Android SD Development] norpan111:
Does that affect calling etc?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dashrink:
I was thinking that the radio could have something to do with the phone service restarting itself.

Is anyone running this build with the 2.15 radio?
[HD2 Android SD Development] fresh2dafullest:
yeah i have t mo us i used these:

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MMS PROXY: 216.155.165.50 <--------- THE .50 is the major change i found.

MMS PORT: Blank

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

AUTH TYPE: NONE <--this is another changed setting. do not leave blank.

APN TYPE: default,supl,mms <-- This also seems to be important.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Hi Phire.

Thank you for this beautiful rom. It is the perfect gift especially for those using HD2 away from the USA so no Sprint crap all over. Thank you so much for cooking the Reboot option. However when I long press the power key and then Reboot I get only 3 options Normal, Bootloader, Recovery. If I try either Normal or Bootloader booting takes me back to Windows. I was hoping one of the options would allow us to reboot directly back to Android..... :D Is that that possible ;)

By the way to get the goodies in 1.3 coming from 1.2b you dont have to do a clean install. Data from 1.2b copied into 1.3 makes the jump to 1.3 without having to redownload all apps, customisations, contacts etc. Perfect coz theres like a new rom coming out every 7 days or less. Once more thx buddy. Ed
[HD2 Android SD Development] sandmanz:
GPS

Hey

I have two issues when running this build:

1. GPS: Is anyone else having GPS issues. It doesn't connect on mine, it keeps 'waiting for gps'. I would appreciate any help.

2: MMS: I have checked this forum, searched the internet and other forums on xda-developers, but nothing works. Firstly, when i try to tweak APN settings I get an error saying " the process com.android has stopped working, please try again" and I have to Force Close. Data works fine though just that mms doesn't go through. I get a message saying 'unable to send message: generic network failure'

Other than that this build is great. Battery life is much much better, no data connection drops, no freeze-ups etc. I just wish I could get the gps to work :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] rOCK4LIGHT:
please disregard. i posted to the wrong version

I am running it on radio version 2.15.50.14. This weekend, I had a problem when over Saturday night, the phone stopped connecting to the T-Mobile network. I couldn't get it restarted by disabling and re-enabling the wireless connection in Android. Even enabline WiFi couldn't get me on the Internet.

After a couple of reboots, once into WinMo and then another into Android, the phone started connecting again. This morning, it was still connected to the T-Mobile network. We'll see how long it goes before it drops again.

I noticed that the battery drain is quite a bit more than when I had the old stock radio in WinMo. I have not been in WinMo on the 2.15.50.14 radio long enough to make a good comparison between Android and WinMo on the current radio.
[HD2 Android SD Development] vplaza96:
FYI, GPS is working fine for me. Used the Navigation app this morning and over the weekend and it found teh GPS just fine.

Haven't tried to receive MMS yet. Will try later.

I noticed you mention battery life is good. What radio are you running and what WinMo ROM are you using?
[HD2 Android SD Development] sandmanz:
I am using Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2 as my radio and the energy series WM ROM.
