I went from a clean 0.2 data.img to 0.3 and all is well. But I did have this issue on a Desire build. Just couldnt solve it frustrating isnt it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] daysey:
Loving this build but started experiencing some issues with accessing internet that I really can't understand yet.

Using Wifi and cant download easily from the market, just stays on "Starting Download" or "Download Paused" for a long time, sometimes it eventually downloads maybe one app out of 3 or 4 or I eventually end it. Also, could not get weather to update too, however I can update weather using Mobile data or Internet Pass-through. Weird Stuff!!!

Anybody else experiencing something similar and any help on this? Other internet access seems to work fine meanwhile apart from market and weather as described above.

Hi Sergio,

A RAM edition as 0.4 would be nice. Are there plans to do it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] scarecrow420:
There are apks in the AndroidApps folder which get installed every reboot. So if you want 3d gallery gone you have to remove the apk from in there (i did this before even loading the ROM in the first place, so didnt even need to uninstall it). Pretty minor "last straw" considering its been mentioned in this thread how to do that. No HD based ROM will be as fast as Core .8 but they have way more features and htc stuff etc included

Yeah pretty frustrating. Ive sorted out a workaround for now - i found that the HTC ringtones/notification/alarm tones you can download by "Get More" option, get stored in

sdcard\Ringtones

sdcard\Alarms

sdcard\Notifications

So i just copied the default files from the Android\media\audio area into the respective folders, and they show up in the picker list. Obviously my current installation is still having issues reading the default ringtones from the proper place, but this at least lets me see them all in the list and use them, so it'll do me until the next ROM

Went back to core Droid v.08, core Droid v.03 is to laggy.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DaDoctor:
Sounds like your wifi has issues if you can download everything fine on data. Did you change ur kernel? If so did you update the libs?

-------------

TO ALL:

1) Please stop asking about putting HD build in RAM, its almost not possible. Do you guys see any HD build running in RAM? No, because its WAY too big.

2) If you think this build is too laggy, there is a 99.9% chance the problem is yours, not the build. Did you let the build settle in?? Probably not. If there is ANY difference in performance between the desire build and the HD build, its probably a very, very slight difference.

3) Search the thread for your questions, I am sure they have been answered. And if that comes back with no results, search the forums.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Fishawy:
1) Thanks for ending the useless argument.

2) & 3) The build is extremely awesome. I've tried MDJ's & darkstone's, and always come back here. Everything's working perfectly & flawlessly. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] amm009uk:
I also try other builds from time to time but since DHD is now quite stable it's the one to stick with. It's so much slower to bootup but so what.

I also remove gunk from /system/app but it can lead to probs so a good backup is handy.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jae-v:
I personally say the difference in performance is a little more than slight with no disrespect to the developers. There's a pretty substantial difference on day to day use I can attest to from heavy usage.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DarkAdonis:
I woke up this morning and decided to try HD v0.3 again. I updated the kernel to 8.6 and deleted the 3D gallery before first boot. Everything seems ok so far. Im not having anywhere near the hard time i was having with it yesterday. It's still a little slower than 0.8 but it's not like yesterday either

Edit 1: Ran quadrant and it was in the mid 1700s. I've gained about 100 in score. Still not in the 1800s like my buddies my touch 4g but i certainly will take the added speed. Im starting to like this build

Edit 2: Current widget shows 5mA in standby. It's official. Im keeping the build now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] omerbu1:
First,sergio this is the smoothest HD build exist!great job!

but can fix a problem?

every 10 minutes my phone started to enterd the 3g network alone.

not for sync!

that endless data connection really drains battery.

can you fix it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Fishawy:
I was gonna ask about that. Is there a possible way to control/completely terminate data connections & only use Wifi? I tried Mobile Data Controller from the market, but I still get some data connections.

Also, I've managed to set most of the automatic updates to "manual", but some things like Facebook & XDA don't have that option (Maximum is once a day with no "manual" choice).

Anybody can assist with that?
[HD2 Android SD Development] amm009uk:
May be this will help: http://curvefish.com/widgets Use the APN on/off widget.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Fishawy:
Thank you, will try it.

Edit: Excellently working! Thank you again :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] guntcent:
Hey guys hows the build when you used it for 4 or more days stable guys?
[HD2 Android SD Development] andreipga85:
i am using it for more then 4 days and it's the best tried until now!

no major issues.

it's the perfect android build for daily use for hd2.
[HD2 Android SD Development] guntcent:
Alright kool thanks im going to use it then cuz ive been using darkstone froyo sense hahaa i know its old as hell lol
[HD2 Android SD Development] andreipga85:
i'm using hisurfing from market it is working great for me!

i turn the apn off only by night because in the rest of the day i need it active.

but hisurfing it's a very handy app.

regards
[HD2 Android SD Development] Fishawy:
Excellent. For me, it needed like 48 hours & a couple WinMo-Android resets to settle down (battery-wise). Now it's smooth :)

Thank you, will check it too :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] andreipga85:
and now because we are at this chapter:

i had an issue with data connection.

i don't know why, but sometimes the data conn it's breaking down. it's just refuse to access internet. in this time all the programs are trying to sync and sync but with no data it's just syncing forever. and this is causes big batt drain, if i am not attentif and reboot my phone it will suck all my batt in just few hours.

maybe i should remember that i need to reboot more often. :) or maybe it;s just a little issue.

regards.

Phone Number Format

First of all, thanks for this great build. I am havine one little annoyance in that I cannot get the contacts to display phone numbers in anything but the US format xxx-xxxx-xxx. I am in the UK and don't want this. I have tried changing the Locale to UK and GB, and also used MoreLocales 2, but this does not have any effect.

Can anyone help?

Compass not correct

After trying other builds i noticed that in this build the compass isnt calibrated correctly. Even calibration in gps status does not work. Are there more people with this problem?
[HD2 Android SD Development] slicklu:
Hey guys, why doesnt this build have the facebook for HTC sense? Is there somewhere i can download it from?
[HD2 Android SD Development] DarkAdonis:
Go into the messages app. Press the windows button. Go to settings>notification sounds. Select your sound and click "apply" and you're all set.

For some reason it works when you do it this way.
[HD2 Android SD Development] AbdullahSZ:
WiFi doesn't work anymore on v0.3.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DaDoctor:
I wouldnt advise you going over 2GB, but you should be OK for now.

Huh? It is there. I worries me that you cannot see it. I would suggest you format SD card and start over.

Anymore? So since the last time it was working, what have you changed? Kernel, libs, etc... It shouldnt just break by itself unless some system files have changed. Help us help you ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Fishawy:
It works. You probably kept playing until you screwed something up :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] slicklu:
Oops sorry my bad, i just saw it when i went into add account in the accounts and syn settings. There are two types Facebook for Android and Facebook for HTC Sence. I think the HTC sence one is better :D

Edit: Hold up! its available on the Accounts syn screen but not in the widget screen tho :( am i missing something here?

hastarin 8.6

hallo mates,

has someone tried hastarin 8.6 with this build?

if yes, some feedback would be grat

regards
[HD2 Android SD Development] rhacy:
Hastarin r8.6 has worked well here with v0.3 to date. Plus, it runs a little faster than r8.5.3. Also, if it helps anyone, Google Maps v5 works great with v0.3.

Many thanks again Sergio76 & DaDoctor.

Best to all,

Does the auto rotate feature not work on this build? I cant get mine to auto rotate unless I set the display to landscape only?

Love the build, love the features.. just this one issue I dont know how to resolve..

Thank you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DarkAdonis:
I added hastarin 8.6 to the rom before my initial boot. Works like a charm.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jrip777:
Auto rotate works fine here. Dont know what the issue could be sorry.
[HD2 Android SD Development] studerman:
Yeah thanks, I have the auto rotate box checked on display... have completely reinstalled and formatted the sd card..everything I could think of. Didnt know if I missed something
[HD2 Android SD Development] jonny68:
great build sergio.,can i ask though if you plan on cooking a ROM like dark stones superam which has HTC sense?
[HD2 Android SD Development] DaDoctor:
Lol, you would need to download this from the market place. Search for Facebook for Android
[HD2 Android SD Development] JohnnyGipsy:
I have the same problem, but only with Facebook only contacts, my contacts from Outlook via sync are correct
[HD2 Android SD Development] ricola7:
Works fine for me...

Also auto-rotate does its job...
[HD2 Android SD Development] quyzie:
is there anyway to have my sms/mms display the incoming contacts name only without the phone number right next to it?

as of now, it displays like this: Name: M(123-456-7890) hey..

Ad-Hoc Wifi

Hi Sergio/DaDoctor,

I know you are already working on the next build and would like to appeal to you to look into Ad-Hoc wifi support in your next build.

Thanks again for this lovely build, it's been my daily ROM since it came out.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rhacy:
Ad-Hoc WiFi support would be fantastic. That said, it has been included in some past HD2 android builds. Although, I'm not sure what version of wpa_supplicant is used in v0.3? If it's 0.6.10, there's a couple modified versions that may work. Anyway, if it's possible, Ad-Hoc would sure come in handy at some weak signal locations here.

Thanks so much again Sergio76 & DaDoctor for sharing this excellent Desire HD Build.

Cheers,

R
[HD2 Android SD Development] slicklu:
Erm... im confused again lol I could swear i read somewhere that Facebook for Android is different from Facebook for HTC Sense. Does anyone know if this is wrong or right?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kurniawan77:
i'll try this one....
[HD2 Android SD Development] andreipga85:
thanks a lot for your answers mates.

i will try to upgrade if i will have time. it's a madness at work and everywhere with all this holidays.

if i will not i will just wait the Christmas present from Core team :D

all the best.

very good with 8.6 kernel !:D

but i do not have bluetooth mac adress so i can't pair my device...:confused:

any idea please

thanks in advance
[HD2 Android SD Development] rhacy:
After updating to r8.6, I still am able to get bluetooth mac address. Although, I need to turn on bluetooth twice sometimes in order for it and the BT icon to show up.

[HD2 Android SD Development] clyder:
Hi everyone. I just finished seting up this build and so far it is great. I used m-deejay's build so long and wanted to see what else is there. So far I dont have bugs, crashes, battery drain is OK (no difference than other builds I tried), data, wifi... works, and it works very smooth.

I have only two questions:

- First one is not really a problem. I switched from MDJ Desire HD 4.6 build. I deleted everything, including data.img, formatted SD card and after initial install of this build was complete (before installing any app) I opened market and saw that it was downloading all the apps that I had in previous build. I have no clue how it hot those informations. Perhaps HTC sense or HTC hub???

-Second one is also not a problem but little annoying. I keep getting tons of some cache index tmp files on root of SD card. While using MDJ's build I got that at some point but after certain update it was gone. Is there a way here to fix that?

Anyway currently I am installing Hastarin r8.6 and that is all for now...
[HD2 Android SD Development] rhacy:
1) That's normal with Desire HD, as it automatically syncs your market apps on first boot.

2) The fix is in post 4, and here it is again: * You will see a lot of temporary files on your SD card DiskCashIndex.tmp files, to get rid of them uninstall 3D Gallery app and delete it from your Android Apps folder (so it does not reinstall on next boot). Then, if any of the old tmp files are still on your card, just delete them.

Best to all,

R
[HD2 Android SD Development] clyder:
Than I love DesireHD builds even more :D

And thanx for the tip about 3D gallery. I did a quick search before posting, but I guess I should have done better. Sorry about that, it was a long day....
[HD2 Android SD Development] rhacy:
No worries and glad you like Core Droid HD. If you give it time to settle after first boot or two and autosync, it should even run better.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all,

R

Any idea ?

I have changed the kernel for the latest 8.6, could it be the reason ?

Thanks in advance

This mattedblues theme is a definite favourite of mine. Anyone know where I can get it? Thank you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] clyder:
After full day of using this build I am even more impressed. For me everything works, even the LED notification (finally). Much less lags then in MDJ 4.6, almost no wakeup lag. I cant wait new version. :D

Hi,

wanted to ask when is the next release?
[HD2 Android SD Development] johndijkstra:
Hi there,

After puting enegryrom 20dec on my hd2, i put this android releas on my sd card.

It looks nice but i have some issues (radio is 2.15.50.14)

Phone gets hot while using android.

Phone response is low, sometimes the applications take 10 to 15 sec to start or respond.

it is a diferance of 30% in speed with winmo. Any ideas what goes wrong?
[HD2 Android SD Development] scarecrow420:
how long since you put the android build on? It does heaps of stuff on first startup like download all apps from the marketplace that you have previously installed on this gmail account (even on a non HD build), syncs all data with HTC, gmail and emails etc. In general you will want to give it a few hours after startup to get all downloaded and synched up, give it a couple of reboots... charge it overnight and then see how it performs for you tomorrow.

Check the market place, are there heaps of apps downloading?
[HD2 Android SD Development] rhacy:
Fix found that enables Ad-Hoc WiFi Network Support on Core Droid HD v0.3

Please note that this Ad-Hoc fix for Core Droid HD v0.3 may work for other Desire HD and Desire Z HD2 Android builds, as well as other recent HD2 Android builds. Just remember to save your original wpa_supplicant file prior to testing this new one out.

Also, if you're going to test this on a different build. Please make sure to verify the specific wpa_supplicant version included in your build prior to testing a modified version. That said, I was able to find out that Core Droid HD v0.3 has wpa_supplicant v0.6.10 by Jouni Malinen, after running the terminal command: wpa_supplicant -v . Then I tested some Ad-Hoc modified v0.6.10 versions floating around, and found one posted by brokenworm that finally worked as intended. Many thanks & cheers to brokenworm!

Anyway, below is a link to the original post by brokenworm, as well as the steps I used to test the different modified wpa_supplicant v0.6.10 files, in order to get the Ad-Hoc WiFi network connection working on my HD2 with Core Droid HD v0.3 by Sergio76.

brokenworm original post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=866676

Ad-Hoc enabled wpa_supplicant installation guide for Core Droid HD v0.3:

1) Download the attached wpa_supplicant file to your PC or HD2.

2) Then make sure the HD2 WiFi is turned off.

2) Use Root Explorer or a similar file explorer to copy the original wpa_supplicant in /system/bin to somewhere safe on your storage card. This is so you can easily copy it back if this new file creates problems with your WiFi connection for some unknown reason.

3) This first part is optional, but I recommend booting into Windows Mobile, so you can copy & paste your entire working Core Droid HD Build Folder to your PC (just to be safe). Also, make sure to copy the new Ad-Hoc enabled wpa_supplicant file to a folder named after it or somewhere else safe on your storage card (if you haven't already).

4) Now, fire up Core Droid HD v0.3, and again make sure your WiFi is off. Then copy the new Ad-Hoc enabled wpa_supplicant file to /system/bin with Root Explorer or a similar file explorer. Close your file explorer once the task is finished.

5) Last but not least, turn on WiFi and connect to your now visible Ad-Hoc Network. Done!

6) Enjoy!

Please also note that I tested and verified the working Ad-Hoc WiFi internet connection on the HD2, by connecting to a Sprint Touch Pro 2 running in Wi-Fi Router Ad-Hoc Mode. Moreover, it's still working here after multiple full shutdowns and reboots.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all,

Battery Drain after incoming call

Heya,

yesterday I recognized a constant standby battery drain of 56-60 mA (phone and 3g on). Checked the logfile of currentwidget and found out, that this high drain (usual drain in standby 6-8) started after an incoming call.

I wasn't able to stop the drain, even after turning ALL coonections off it didn't go down.

So I searched the forum, found several solutions but none worked for me... Google is you best friend and I discovered a thread on another forum that pinned the problem down to the speaker. Seems that the speaker doesn't turn off after the call is ended and so causes the high drain. Solution is to switch to the no-sound profile and then back to normal sound profile. Worked for me.

I'm gonna spec my battery drain after calls in the next few days to see if the issue comes up again...

Did somebody else notice the similar problem??

Take care

Dom
[HD2 Android SD Development] ajape:
Hey! :)

:)I just wanted to tell you you made a beautiful thing, it's very fast and flows really well, and it also looks fantastic. I myself was not apparently knowledgeable enough to manage to connect to my wi-fi router despite the many posts and files and explanations contained herein, but I recognize this is my fault actually and not anything you haven't already addressed via fixes, of course.

Anyways, I'll go and try to find a build in which the Wi-Fi works for me now, but if you can resolve this issue in the future your build will definitely be the one I will use all the time. Thanks! :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] DaDoctor:
Thank you sir, you have extremely helpful.

Hmmm, did you change anything? Wifi works out of the box, unless you changed kernel, libs or anything else that could effect it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ajape:
No, absolutely nothing. Then I found the post you quoted, and did as explained, but still got the same results: a never ending "obtaining address" loop, and while on Windows the connection is instant, as always, so I know the router is fine. :(

Android Update

I got a notification for a system update and downloaded it but when it tries to install it wants to reboot which takes it back into WinMo, then I boot back into Android and it says it wants to install again. If I click install, it wants to reboot. Has anybody gotten this notification? Are we supposed to update? If so, how?

I tried to search but the search is down, it keeps telling to try again in 10 minutes but it's been 20 minutes.

MMS with WiFi on

anyone else having issues sending/receiving MMS? I noticed that I haven't been able to send/receive MMS with WiFi on ... can anyone else replicate this issue?
[HD2 Android SD Development] clyder:
After two days of using this build, battery is behaving great. Battery consumption in standby was always arround 6-8 mA. 26h ago I charged the phone before work and it was 92%. Now is 47% after not so heavy usage: about 15 min conversation, 10-15 SMs, few mails, 5 minutes of playing a game and constant weather, mail....syncing. Until now greatest time with android I had was about day and a half without touching the phone. So this is very good :)

Relase

please info for the next relase :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] johndijkstra:
Hi Scarecrow420,

I did not notice a heavy download. At startup i use WiFi so all stuf can be downloaded very fast, and i let it stay on overnight. I did reboot the phone several times in the last 2 day's.

Mail Sync is a big problem because i have a Kerio mailserver which is not great with Android, so i use "improver email" from marketplace.

But the lag was already there before installing the email tool.
