connection issues

I had problems with data connections as well. I have tried both latest MDJ 8.0 and Hastarin 8.6. Hastarin seems a bit more stable with this build. In both of them I have come to this system crawling situation where I have to kill everything with taskiller.

Is it possible that an earlier kernel version work better with this build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dubie76:
Maybe its your task killer causing the issue. None of us use it. It has been discussed in the past that it is no good. Try removing it and give it day without and see
[HD2 Android SD Development] echardcore:
I seemed to have this issue when I first tried my current configuration (in my signature). I went back to 0.3. I tried it again and its working great.

you should:

-format your SD card

-do not use old data.img

-try installing the preferred kernel before first boot

-once you boot for the first time, take it slow and dont try to do too much.

-once it seems to have settled and you dont see data being transferred or synched, power down, wait a minute, and boot back into Android

-at this point it might still be "settling in." don't try to install any additional apps yet.

see if you can get it running smoothly before installing any other crap. I have found that these ROMs, unfortunately, work best with as least running processes as possible. Most apps have a process that runs a lot. I'm fine with working, reliable Android on this phone without a lot of apps. We are going to have to make sacrifices here since we are running WinBlo.

I'm not having any material problems with 8.6-Hasterin cloned into the Beta "Blue" Series at all. I did get one "freeze" on an app (Angry Birds) this morning that required a restart.

One request - can you put the vibrate/silent profile selections back on the END key? They're on the non-beta builds but are gone on the beta one, and that kinda bites as I use that as a quick access to the "shut up" option (e.g. when going into a meeting or movie, etc.)

This ROM series has become my "daily driver"; I like it better on-balance than my Vibrant. Just as stable IMHO and battery life is actually better than the Galaxy series Samsung stuff.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Metastable:
F'n hot stuff dude. It's not as fast as MDJs gingerbread build but leaps faster than the current SDcard builds.

Your probably seeing the dreaded smd_tty_flip_string error, check previous post for a temp fix.

Speaking of which, the newer RAM builds support the new init.gz meaning if you place Hastarin's kernels along with his update.kernel.sh file it will automatically set the kernel tweaks to prevent the error.
[HD2 Android SD Development] attractor:
There are only 5 posts in the forum refering to the smd_tty_flip_string error problem and the solution is to delete the data.img files.

I did what was asked in the previous post, that is reinstall the build and the Hastarin 8.6 but kept my data.img. If I see the problem I again I may perform a total reinstall.

visual voicemail

One functional issue I have with this build is that the visual voicemail does not work for me.

When I start it for the first time and hit the next button I get a message:

Is this service free or should I sign up for it?

Ok...so I have been messing around with the latest darkstone build and will not be posting what I have. I am not happy with the build at all and there are too many weird things not working the way I want them to. I was able to get everything T-Mobile working on this build but due to the issue with it I will be waiting until Darkstone updates his build.

And for this I applaude you. I have been able to rely on the Topia series as a plug'n'play TMOUS build (kernel issues aside) and hope to see it stay that way.
[HD2 Android SD Development] truckerdewd:
That may be in your notification settings. You can set it to only flash once or repeat the flash. Check your notification settings and let me know what it's set at.

Also you might want to format your memory card and then reinstall everything.

Dont know if any of you follow NAND and such, but they have developed MAGLDR and managed to allow us to boot right into our Android ROMs now. So now we can have this Topia build boot up directly instead of having to boot into winmo first!

Not sure which direction I am going to go with NAND...I am a hard core HD users so I might go that route...I'm pretty happy with Beta4 and aside from a few things that bug me its pretty close to losing the beta tag. I need to play and test and see what works best for me...as some may have forgotten that the Topia Series was born out of me sharing my TMOUS rom with the world...and some how it has turned into WWE and like 8 differnt flavors...I just dont get how NRGZ28 can cook almost 100roms once a week.

I dont think im ready for this NAND build,im happy with my phone booting windows and android right now.i still use some of my windows app once in a while lol.android is really good but we all still started with our HD2 on windows right.
[HD2 Android SD Development] echardcore:
I don't touch Windows anymore. I even used to be able to use a LocationFree App (like Slingbox) to watch my own cable TV on my HD2 in WinBLO (quality was poor because it was not designed specifically for the HD2 and getting it to work almost correctly was a nightmare). I could care less about it now.

My current setup (sig) is phenomenal. No data disconnects at all. Really psyched with the USB Tethering right now since my on-board LAN broke 2 days ago. I'm waiting for the new one. I don't even wanna try a NAND build yet. I wonder if it will be possible in the future if this build is dev'd for NAND to just move the data.img over when upgrading. Prolly not.

Does anyone know if all the NAND builds have USB teathering? Or is this something not included in some Android ROM?
[HD2 Android SD Development] truckerdewd:
The notification flash setting is under the display settings. If that doesn't work, format you sd card and reinstall everything. First try it without the zip file I included, if that doesn't work, use the zip file. Either way, make sure your phone is plugged in when you boot into Android.

Ok peeps...I've been playing around with a Desire HD NAND build...I'm pretty sure I got everything working for us TMOUS users but I am at a stand still right now. I need to figure out how to build the system.bin file to flash.

[HD2 Android SD Development] alantak:
Hey CMY, I'd appreciate your take on benefits of RAM/NAND. I really don't care about boot times at all and am just concerned about smooth performance when its up and running.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sears1234:
You didn't post as many roms as other chefs do, but you do give me the most reliable and smooth Android rom above all.

Thanks you so much, and really appreciate all your work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cmylxgo:
Well...

I like the NAND option becuase I think it will give the best battery life of the 3 options out there, NAND, RAM, or SDcard. I also like the fact that I can cook in security features like HTCsense.com to lock my phone if lost. With the current RAM or SDcard solutions all that needs to be done is a reboot and the stolen or lost phone is now usable again.

I think the RAM option will give the best performace and smoothness in the rom but will suffer the the same downfalls as the SDcard options with poor battery life and less secure. However, you get the freedom of running winmobile at the touch of a reboot. Kind of nice to be able to dual boot.

So...I am torn to which way I want to go for a daily use. There are times when my adroid build just pisses me off too much and I boot into wm for a few hours. So...I will prolly lean towards a RAM build as my daily. However, I will continue to play with NAND and see where things go.

-= CMYLXGO's T-Mobile US NAND Desire HD ROM =-

Build v.0.1 [Kernel: gauner1986]

THIS IS FOR T-MOBILE US PHONES ONLY

http://hotfile.com/dl/93309256/092ea2b/CMYLXGOs.TMOUS.NAND.Desire.HD.v.0.1.7z.html

This is a NAND build and will require MAGLDR.

1. Download MAGLDR 1.11
2. Download CMYLXGOs.TMOUS.NAND.Desire.HD.v.0.1.7z from link above and extract
3. Install MAGLDR. Either put phone in bootloader mode or boot into Windows Mobile. Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from MAGLDR folder.
4. Boot Phone and select in the menu "4. USB Flasher"
5. Run DAF.exe on your computer from my ROM download.
6. Once flashing is done the phone will reboot.
7. Phone should boot directly to Android in NAND.

Conisder this a beta build as its my first one. It is only a base and not themed yet. I have not included any T-Moblie Apps to keep the footprint small. They can be downloaded from the market and I have tested that they work.

phenomenal battery life!!!

This rom gives the best battery life I ever had. 100% to 25% in 12 hours of relatively heavy use (two dosens apps from market, 30 min gps use, 30 min watching video, several phone call, some game playing)

Everything works, only two minor "complains" - GPS takes 3-4 min to fix and occasional data drop. Otherwise it is perfect.

NOTE: When you're about to setup to sync for the 1st time, uncheck all the syncoptions (contacts, calendar etc). Finish the setup, then go back to the options and check contacts only and sync. Then go back and check calendar and so on...

Thanks!!

After being an iPhone user for so long it wasn't easy to switch to an HD2 but I loved the screen size way better for movies and games so I gave it a try. Windows 6.5 was super boring even with the cookie mod!! I flashed Bluetopia to my phone using supersports method and it was super easy. Way easier than jailbreaking an iphone . I love my phone now, it's fun again. I feel like android was supposed to be on this phone. So far I havent had any issues, battery drain isn't too bad unless your running a live wallpaper. I recommend syncing your contacts to google sync before you flash this makes it super easy to import you contacts ( logging into your google account and it will transfer your contacts thru wifi :) ) I 'll probably try out the nand option in the future but for now this build is awesome ...thanks and keep up the good work!!

All about the NAND boot

After using the Blue Topia for sometime now, I am done with Windows Mobile.

I don't want to switch to Sprint to use the Evo, and the only phone I want from at&t is the Dell Streak, and that is not an option for me now.

Keeping the HD2 and not running WinMo at all is my goal. The Topia series has been the best option for Linux.

I can't wait for the NAND option; let me know if you need a beta tester, I enjoy it.

vibrate help

im using the BlueTopia v1.0.4 with the Manilla ROM Upgrade. for some reason when i power the phone on i get that one vibrate then thats it. and every now and then when i start a text message the keys will vibrate then stop. is this a known bug? if so then how can i fix this. even in the windows mode it does the same thing. prior to doing the custom rom the vibrate was working fine.

i found it. it was the flash lens was pushed down to far. just took a new razor blade on the edge of it and wiggled it and that did the trick. i ended up migrating over to the blutopia nand build WAAAAYYY FASTER. just gotta get a new memory card cuz the guy who sold the phone to me took the 16gb one out and put in a freaking 2gb one. maybe thats y i got the phone for 165 with a cracked screen but works fully. good rom tho.

No Data Problem

Has anyone else run into losing all data after running a build for about a month or two?

It started happening after I connected to a wi-fi connection and later on toggling wi-fi off. I was getting sync errors and now no internet. If I go into airplane mode and then toggle it back off, I get data for a few seconds and then back to no data again. Have also turned data on/off but still nothing... weird!

:confused:

Well, I deleted the data.img and am trying out the Hastarin kernel. Unfortunately, data is still messed up. I was able to sync my contacts up, but after about 10-20 minutes I lose data connection; airplane mode is a quick fix, but it only lasts for above said minutes. It's looking like I'll have to re-format the SD card and do a fresh install. Although, I could have sworn it's not an SD issue. If so, a RAM version sounds cool. :P

Hmmm... maybe I spoke too soon. I rebooted the phone after all the syncing and updates. So far so good.

EDIT: NOPE! Looks like I still get problems with data... I'm checking out this possible fix.
