[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] markymunkeypants:
Hi, I'm thinking of trying out Android, preferably Froyo, on my UK o2 HD2 which I've had for almost a year now.

My current ROM (1.72.206.3) is the most recent, stock o2 upgrade from the HTC Europe site which came with radio version 2.07.51.22_2.

Have any other o2 users tried, hopefully with some success, to run Android from their SD card using just the above ROM and radio versions? If so, what build of Android would you recommend?

Alternatively, if only a flashed non-stock ROM and HSPL installation will make this work, what would be my best way forward to safeguard my warranty and ensure I dont brick my beloved HD2?

Soz to sound like a noob but I've searched this forum but can't find any o2 specific threads like this one - plus I've been looking around XDA, HTCPedia, YouTube (where I can only find people with US T-Mobile handsets, not the European/UK model) et al for a few days now and feel like I'm just going in circles!

Many thanks for any help that might be forthcoming.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jamesjf:
I'm on O2 UK.

I couldn't get Android to boot on Radio 2.07, so I installed HSPL 2.08 and flashed Radio 2.15. I kept the stock O2 1.72 ROM from the HTC website, and it works fine.

I'd recommend Bangsters build if you don't want a Sense-based build, or either FroyoStone or mdeejay's Froyo HD or Froyo Sense builds if you do want Sense.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] markymunkeypants:
Blimey, I didn't expect such a prompt reply but that's brilliant.

I wish I had raised my question a couple of days ago, as I've been trawling the internet for suggestions for a few days now, so many thanks for that.

I've already installed a dual-boot app so will install your recommended software tomorrow.

PS - I hope this is of help to others out there too.

:)

Hi, I have a HTC HD2 but mine is out of warranty anyway so here it goes,

HSPL 2.08,

Windows ROM "Miri and Dinik V19",

radio 2.12,

sense android rom Mdeejay Evo warm V1.1 with the latest r7.6 kernel,

Non-sense android rom latest Biff froyo rom based on CM6 V1.0 with the same r7.6 kernel,

I do bump into some occasional problems with android but nothing major, hope this helps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] crawlingcity:
it's all over the forum, but keep in mind you need at least a radio 2.08 to run android. oh, and for a non-sense build, i'd like to recommend hyperdroid v1.6 ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tytanium:
welcome to android! The way the HD2 is meant to be :)

latest radio is 2.15, update your hspl to the highest.

This might be personal preferrence but i find desire roms run better on my phone than evo roms

Im using NDeeJays 3.6 Desire HD rom, this rom is now fast and stable with the latest features, it is however lacking the camera and ereader...if you can live with out these, its the best option in my opinion.

If you need your camera have a look at shu8is SHUBcraft 1.5 CM6 final.It is due an update soon as dev has been away for a while but that rom is rock solid and i used as my only rom until i upgraded to the desire HD rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] markymunkeypants:
Okay, so at the expense of sounding like a numpty, it appears I need to do the following:

1. Sync my phone with my PC as usual.

2. Copy a version of my current 1.72 o2 ROM to my SD card (not sure where in particular though - in the root maybe?) having renamed it leoimg.nbh so that I can uninstall HSLP should I brick my phone and need to return it to o2 under warranty.

3. Install HSPL 2.08 or higher. I have HSLP3-PKG on my desktop ready for this purpose, so hope this should suffice.

4. Once the HD2 restarts then install a new radio ROM, version 2.08 or higher (I have 2.15 ready to go)

5. Reboot the phone again and create a folder called Android in the root of my SD card, and copy over my choice of Android software to same.

6. Restart the phone yet again, navigate using file explorer to the Android folder then run CLRCAD.EXE and thereafter run HaRet.exe, then wait a few mins for android to launch on my HD2.

It all sounds (too) straightforward in hindsight. Even though I've managed to install the brilliant CHTEditor and more on my phone and tweak the registry to some extent, somehow the installation of android seemed quite daunting until now. But I'll give it a go asap and, in the meantime, thanks to those of you who have taken the trouble to contribute to this thread and help me out.

Cheers! :)

Hey

I am like yourself on HD2 O2 UK. My current setup is in my signature. What I have found though is no matter what setup/android rom I use, I always get regular drop in data. I don't know if any other setup has worked for any of the users where they have no interruptions with data.

May I also suggest getting a task killer and setcpu from market for help with decent battery life.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dazzyb2k3:
Up until recently I always used RMNET builds as the data is much more reliable. However, i upgraded to 2.15 radio and this seems to have virtually eliminated PPP disconnects for me.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] markymunkeypants:
Hi, just to say that I managed to install HSPL and radio ROM 2.15 and FroYo was running v.nicely thank you... up until I had an error message advising that "LauncherPro beta has expired" and asks that I download an updated version - which is not easy given that all the phone will let me do is go into either Silent or Airplane mode, reboot or power off (!)

I see that other FroYo users have reported this issue as a major pain in the arse, so I'm trying to see how I can overcome this issue at the mo. However, I'd suggest that others bear this in mind when choosin which Android software to download (plus the fact that, at the mo, I still prefer my HD2's WinMo 6.5, HTC Sense and CHTEditor after all!)

:rolleyes:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jonny4911:
Yes! This is all correct! except don't name it leoimg.nbh, until you want to flash it back to stock (rare ;P) otherwise it will flash it everytime you enter bootloader!

Sorry, should have mentioned earlier that I was using a download called Mattcfroyosense1.7ppp for my Android set-up, and I presume this incorporates an (out-of-date?) loader to kick-start things.

I only installed it late Weds evening and all seemed fine for 36hrs till this confounded error msg started appearing.

Any suggestions? (my first thought is to delete the Andoid folders from my SD card and start from scratch, and maybe download the LauncherPro upgrade asap from Marketplace should it srin back to life..?)

Although I haven't used any other build than darkstones sense builds so never used launcher pro, can you not uninstall launcher pro and use sense as mattc's is a sense build?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] markymunkeypants:
Btw, I have looked up that link you kindly supplied and it looks promising (in fact I have found LauncherPro-0.8.1.1 which I hops should be up to the job) but I'm sorry to say that I'm dumbfounded as to where to install it on my device or storage card - the link supplied suggests I need to "make a new directory named "app" in your /root/system/ directory, then copy the Launcher Pro app that I attached to this message to your /root/system/app/ directory. Then reboot and everything should be OK" but I just cannot locate the appropriate folders to drop this .apk file into... :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nealhowden:
i only stumbled across this today trying to fix the HTC camera issue.

The way i accessed it was to download "super manager" from the market place and used its file manager. The root is actually a higher level than the sd card which can only be accessed with a root file manager.

There is another way to "push" it but thats a bit beyond my knowledge if i'm honest.

Yay! People from the UK on O2 :)

Its such a pain that the search won't let you use 'UK' and 'O2' :(

What are people using at the moment then?

I'm using,

radio: 2.15.50.14

wm: Energy Rom 21683

Android: FroyoStone Sense - V3.2

I get music stuttering with the above, regular data drops and BSOD every so often on a restart :(

I then upgraded the kernel to hastarin r8

The only thing I get now is absolutly no data! everything else is perfect though :confused:

I tried this ril wrapper for pppd disconnections, new v0.3 but now I get no data and no signal either :eek:

What have you guys got?

I would have posted links to all the above but apparently I''m not allowed :rolleyes:

Sorry to change subjects

Fellow O2 UK User

Radio 2.14.50.04 - Hastarin Kernel and Mdeejay Froyo sense v.1.1 clean

Setcpu for the battery issues - has not crashed once yet ( fingers crossed)

This is what the HD2 was designed for loving every minute of it.

Winmo permanently in the trash can lol.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Gushfevah:
o2 User here too.

Radio 2.14.50.04

Android Rom = Mdeejay Evo Sense 2.3 Revolution - Harastin 7.7

Win Rom = Energy 6.5 Oct 08

When i first loaded Android i got Data Disconnects, but i went in to APN's in the settings, and it had been configured to o2 UK (mobile.o2.co.uk)

I changed this to the second option o2 UK postpay MMS (wap.o2.co.uk) and not had a data drop since.

Everything seems to work as i want on this ROM, its fast, battery seems good (don't use setCPU anymore) and get 4-8mA on Current Widget on standby.

Just had a couple of random restarts in the couple of weeks ive been running it, but when it does seem to slow down a "hot restart" included in the ROM sorts it out without booting back into windows.

Running on a Class 6, 8GB Samsung SD Card

Hi, I must say that I'm 90% happy running darkstone HD2Froyo v1 (FroYo 2.2) ROM, radio version 2.15 and HSPL 2 - but the gps is unable to get a lock on my position and update certain apps (social network and weather ones for example) so I still use my good old WinMo 6.5/HTC Sense/CHTE set-up a lot of the time and switch between the two operating systems as and when the mood takes me - sorry but, for me, the novelty of having a dual boot HD2 still hasn't worn off yet.

My first reaction is to update the radio, maybe the HSLP too - but what does everyone else think?

PS - any suggestions how I can stop thumbnail pics appearing in my WinMo gallery and my android ringtones appearing on my Sense music player when I switch back to WinMo 6.5..?

o2 contract but no data subscription

Hi guys

I'm on an o2 contract (in the UK) for my calls and texts but I use a mo-fi device (which is another type of wi-fi device) for my internet. I have configured my Win6.5 on my HD2 so that it will only use the mo-fi and wi-fi for the data (I have set up my data connection to a non-existent Virgin connection just in case some program tries to make a data connection without my prior knowledge).

I would like to try using Android from the SD card on my HD2 but without an o2 data contract I am worried that I may get charged o2's daily data connection charge if I can't disable any default data connections from within Android. Has anyone on here come across this situation? And if so, would you please post any help for me?

I have never used Android before so I am very curious. I use Dutty's excellent v9 rom for my Win6.5 and I must say that after suffering the default HTC rom for far too long, Dutty's will take some beating.

Thanks

Ian

I received the JI6 update today, and all went well with the installation, but for some reason my vibrant can't read my sd card or the phone storage. I never rooted it or put any lag fix or any hacking like that. Everything is stock, including the sd card. When I turn it on, it says "internal storage damaged", and then the message disappears shortly after. It also says "unable to mount external sd card" with a red triangle notification. When I press mount in the phone storage settings, it does nothing.

I have rebooted the phone many times, and nothing has worked.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my first post, so I am not sure if this is in the right "category". Thanks in advance.

-Choose music from SD card

-Tegs, lyrics

-Skins, 2 in beta version

-Fast scan of files ( in 1 second 1000files, depends on phone speed)

-EQ

Looking forward to future updates, this is the best music experience you can get on android atm (at least according to myself :) )...

[Android Apps and Games] m2thedeep:
These are a few gripes I have with the app, the first one being the most important:

When going through the library of artists, once you pick an artist you are taken to all songs by the artist and not to a list of the albums by the artist. Sometimes when pressing the back button, the app closes to the homescreen instead of showing the previous screen. If you're playing a song and are browsing your playlist, album list, etc. there's no quick way to return to the player screen that shows the current song that's playing.

I read the quotes. I know what he said. No learning required. I also know what you said. Joking or not, you seem to have a vendetta against Americans based on your replies. Sure, what he did was a bit childish, but you miss the point.

Just like you were clowning him for saying learnt wasn't a word, allow me to clown you for the same thing. How could he possibly have knowledge that it was an English word used exclusively by Brits. He is American. Is is not an American English word. He was correct in stating that "learned" is proper for him. He was a bit naive for thinking US English was the be all, end all but still...

Are you saying that British English (i.e. "learnt") is the more "correct" form?

You are doing the same thing you called him out for.

I am liking it so far.

I am undecided wether I prefer the WinAmp app or the PowerAMP app better so I just have both installed and switch between them everyday.

I did notice like others that if you unplug your headphones while playing music it just continues, but if I pause then unplug it will then resume when I plug my headphones back in.

Also, I have noticed quite an improvement in sound using PowerAMP (and winamp for that matter) over the stock or the musicMod players.

a big thumbs up to the developer, working very well thus far.

only thing i see missing is the sleep feature.
