data.img is built on first boot if not present.

You can move between all 1.0.3 builds by just swapping the system.ext2 file. The only differnce between those builds are images. So it is safe to do this. The only issue you will have by swapping the system.ext2 files is that the defualt wallpaper is cached in your data.img.

I do not recommend reusing data.img files between revisions, like going from 1.0.2 to 1.0.3. And I highly highly discourage using your data.img from 0.6 with 1.0. Sometimes I make alot of changes to the builds and replace core files that may get cached in your data.img. However, in most cases you can get away with reusing without having any issues at all.

The point I'm trying to make is that if you reuse your data.img when upgrading and you start to have issues that 9 times out of 10 its an issue with your data.img. As I've said before and so have many others that have read all the post in this thread...you can backup your data.img and try a reboot so a new data.img is built for testing purposes.

I don't have the time to hold 4000 different users hand when they have a problem. And I'm quit feed up with the b!tching and the PM's about how things don't work when you have not done anything on your part to help isolate the problem. If you want a turn key Android solution....go buy a damn Android phone. This stuff is far from perfect and in most cases never will be on our Windows Mobile designed phones. The purpose of this forum is to tinker and do things with our phones that they were never designed to do. So,with that said...if you don't plan on spending some time to learn and read these boards then you should steer clear of modding your phone.

I want to thank the users in this thread for answering the same questions over and over again and trying to help the noobs.

That's what I've been posting about. The official answer seems to be no, you cannot. It will be created on first boot, and it takes very long time.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cmylxgo:
No. I'm going to bite my tounge here and just point out that the title was "Troubleshooting Steps..."

Mine is working very well. I appreciate your hard work. Please don't get discouraged- your builds are the best!

Hehehe... Sometimes makes a chef want to get into another hobby, like knitting... ;)

PS: 1.0.3 is the BOMB!
[HD2 Android SD Development] dubie76:
Just start ignoring them bro. We are all tired of this crap. They want to be spoon fed and not read our research on their own. Then they make sure to post that they spent hours searching but can't find anything so that they won't get flamed but it does show through.......
[HD2 Android SD Development] oniddy:
Yeahh I was a little rude sorry about that ,I just want a stable build already but yeah sorry it is true
[HD2 Android SD Development] jundy16:
Thanks for clarifying that it's not advisable to reuse your data.img from 1 build to another.

Do you recommend using Titanium backup? What backup tool do you use to restore back to your settings or do you always start from scratch?

Again thanks for this great builds you are doing. Me and my wife keeps on flip flapping between releases. I'm on 1.0.2 and I'm going to update her phone to 1.0.3. She's on v0.6.1 right now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] t0ny0:
Just ignore them mate, they will keep asking, and they will give up at some point when nobody is paying attention to them. If they do not read - its their own problem.

Dont get upset, just because of the few lazy as*es in here, because its not worth it. The rest of us, the good 90+% of people in here really appreciate your work! There are always gonna be people b*tching and not happy and not reading and whatnot.

I love your builds, and been using them since 0.6. And every time i get my hands on some extra money - they will come your way :) And im sure that most of the people here feel the same way I do about your builds! Thanks again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] craig540:
OK got it.

Thank you for the reply.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Jammie_1989:
Only a question wasn't a known issue in first post and I started from scratch so didn't even have a,data.img go figure. Didn't want to read 116 pages and when I used the search found nothing so was hopping somebody who isnt a bel**nd would answer my question.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dung8604:
Does anybody else get really bad data issues with the new kernels mdeejay has been putting out? I just tried blacktopia red and it wouldn't even let me connect to mobile internet. Wifi was fine though. I'm going to try a new kernel when I get home and report my findings
[HD2 Android SD Development] CableMan67:
Keep up the good work, and please disregard all the over and over questions that people ask about this or that not working. I've learned over the years on many many boards to stay in the sidelines and read read and read before I post any question. Please learn as much as you can from your OWN research before asking. I have learned a lot about how to tweek my own HD2 by just reading and learning from other's questions.

Keep making this ROM better, for us that appreciate your work.

I'm getting paid tomorrow, so I'll send some beer money your way. Thanks!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] pugieinheat:
Yes, please keep up the great work you are doing with the build. I am using 1.0.3 and I am very happy with it. Thank you for all the hard work you have done.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Jwell3336:
First I am a noob but please dont let the other noobs get at you. I have read every post under this thread. if they would read the last couple of pages people would not have to ask stupid questions over and over. people have to understand this is not a droid phone and cmylxgo is putting togher a very nice rom for for himself that he gracfuly sharing to all of us. Thanks for sharing.

P.S. I just made my donation :)

HTC Music Widget

I had the issue when I boot up my HD2 the MP3 player would just start playing on it's own. After playing around with it I found that it is the HTC Widget because if I use the Android music widget the issue does not happen.

I am using Bluetopia v1.0.3 with a fresh data.img that was created on initial boot. I don't think it is an issue with the S6 kernel however the Bluetopia series is the only series of Android builds that this has happened with and I have downloaded and installed at least 10-15 different builds.

I'm not complaining in any way. I'm in the IT field so naturally I love to tinker with computers and cellphones. If the Bluetopia Dev released a new build right now I would test it.

Keep up the good work. Some of us appreciate it and I already donated once last week and I plan to donate again soon.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dubie76:
We all were new at one point, so being new is no issue here. The issue is when people jump in and ask a question that:

#1 has been answered a million times

#2 has been answered not even 2 pages back from their post.

Further I don't see why people constantly complain about stupid games that dont install. Who gives a F*&!. The devs and chefs do not spend hours perfecting Android for us to run off our SD cards on a winmo phone so people can play angry birds. Keep this in mind......If you load this build and it hangs, gets stuck, or doesnt run then IT'S YOUR FAULT. Everyone else here is running the build just fine. The one or two people who can't get it to run does not make it the builds issue. READ, LEARN, GOOGLE, then ask. Asking about a possible bug, improvement suggestion, or general question is cool. I dont want people to think that they cant ask questions. Just don't ask stupid question. YES there are stupid questions. Hopefully we all can take a step back and refocus on the reason this thread was started. I believe it was started so everyone could test and enjoy the chef's tweaked version of Android.

So stop with all your bull crap issues about games, being stuck at HTC logo, how do I load this, etc. Lets help to make this a better build for us all.

No GPS lock

I'm not sure if others are facing the same problem since a lot of you say that your GPS works fine. but I have noticed that with MDJ based ROMS I do not get a GPS lock. Tried all the tricks I could search for like: edited the gps.conf file, downloaded satellite data using quick gps in WinMo before boot, install gps status, etc. I have stared at the screen for 15mins or so waiting for a lock but to no use.

In the earlier topia builds which were based on Darkstones builds the gps worked just fine. Is anybody else facing the same problem? or any suggestions any body has for me.

Please note I am not criticizing MDJs builds, in fact i like his work and have used his builds inspite of the gps problem.

Just thought I'd put it out there since i managed to get a gps lock on darkstone based topia builds and not on MDJ based topia builds.

Again great work cmylxgo.

[HD2 Android SD Development] nateybalooga:
Had a question. I have VBN alternate rom and bluetopia on my phone. Whenever I turn the screen off and don't touch it for awhile, the backlight comes on but no actual screen. Its doing this every time since I've installed both roms and every time I reboot to fix the problem. Anyone know of a fix for this?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ghwright:
First, I just donated, I'll donate more in the future. Good work.

Second, I apologize for poorly wording my original post. It seems quite logical to me to determine the scope of the problem as a first step to troubleshooting, which is what I was trying to do.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bill R:
Only been running S6 today, but I can say that previous MDJ kernels were pretty stable 80% of the time for the network but that when it would crash, it would crash hard necessitating a total reboot.

Cmy

Thanks for the reply, I want to thank you for your help and the great android build. This is the first build that had mms working.
[HD2 Android SD Development] t0ny0:
I hate to be a pain or to complain, but I just noticed that whenever I get a call or I use the Dialer - the phone is acting reeeaaalllyy slow.. Its fast otherwise, but when I actually have to use it as a phone - its almost as fast as my old i386 computer :D And when I get calls - the screen lights up, but is still black, and the buttons light up, and it takes like 4-5 seconds so I can see that someone is calling me, and for the ringtone to start.

I was wondering - do you guys think its the kernel? im still on S6, and not sure if I should either upgrade to S6.1 or downgrade to S5 which was working just fine for me.

Other than that - I love this build!!!!!

Again, im sorry that im complaining, but I think that sharing with other people will help remove the glitches from the build :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] clifinaz:
Can anyone confirm if there are any tangible advantages to upgrade to s6 kernel? Better battery? Smoother animations? Better data?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dubie76:
I would almost always go with the newest or at least as close to the newest that I could. Check out the change log and you can see all the updates that have been made since S4.
[HD2 Android SD Development] echardcore:
does light sensor work correctly on this build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] pakirebel:
This rom is amazing...I get 3 ma in standby with setcpu interactive profile...I havent experienced any data freeze yet...I am using the 2.14 radio with Elegencia V2 windows ROM with excell upload to auto boot in 6 seconds (sometimes that could cause battery drain)...The only issue with this ROM is when I receive a notification...the notification light stays constant green for a couple of minutes and doesn't go away...please fix that in your next version
[HD2 Android SD Development] motoman234:
Sure does.
[HD2 Android SD Development] griffin911:
Unfortunately I am getting consistent data drops so bad it requires reboot. I am running VBNRom and radio 2.12
[HD2 Android SD Development] thesecondsfade:
Me too. And when I tried Hasatrin's 7.6 kernel, it had even worse problems with data connectivity and then Wifi wouldn't connect any longer (it just says "Error").
[HD2 Android SD Development] thesecondsfade:
Hey, is there any way you could share a way to install your keyboard skin on another build? I love the option for IME with the arrows.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shadydvl:
thanks for the reply, it would be nice if the buttons were (L) Camera |(M) APP | (R) Browser . :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] coolguy7782:
I am just getting hardly 8 to 10 hrs :( which is very irritating to keep charging the cell and I am not interested to move to any other build as I loved this.. I am on Radio 2.15.5.0 and Energy ROM.. Can u suggest one.

It will be great if you get it worked for call waiting auidable working :)

When can we expect your updated build??
[HD2 Android SD Development] makomek:
I think the $30 data plan on T-Mobile have alot of data drop with wap.epic.com address . For me I got the $10 WebToGo data plan and chage the APN to internet2.voicestream.com and bam I got the same speed and no drop data with all PPP builds.

been using this for 2 months.

Small Issues

I am still getting high output readings in current widget in stand by and also have music stutter problems. I am using setcpu and have a screen off profile on conservative. Battery drain is about the same as other builds, but I have to turn wifi/data/gps off in order for normal power drain. Can anyone else confirm high output in current widget in standby and music stutter? Great work btw!
[HD2 Android SD Development] motoman234:
Im getting around 7mA in standby. Try rebooting, sometimes that can help.

P.S. What screen off settings are you using?
[HD2 Android SD Development] haiishq:
does this work on any android phone?

because i could never get this to work on any android phone it keep saying upgrade your plan

[HD2 Android SD Development] makomek:
I haven't use any Android phone beside this HD2 but you have to change APN to Internet2.voicestream.com . on windows mobile I can only get Edge but for some reason Android PPP version I get HSPA and 3G signal with speed around 2Meg download speed. T-Mobile knows i'm using HD2 with this plan but it's still working:D

Just had android crash HARD, and now it wont boot up.

Currently, when I try to go into Android, a message keeps flashing by about com.android.phone failing to load, wait or end and it just cycles this message over and over along with other apps, like HTC.sense or something. It will no longer boot at all. Anyone else have this? I think it happened after I was playing around with custom widget layouts.
[HD2 Android SD Development] frequency1:
Hey cmylxgo I noticed that the sun, moon, or any other weather icon appears in front of the degrees status :)

in the home screen time widget

Edit.... it just needed a reboot lol
[HD2 Android SD Development] Pandemoniumone:
I've experienced this as well on a previous build, more than likely something I tweaked or installed on my end. I ended up booting into WM and deleting the data.img, then booting into Android worked fine after it created the new data.img file.
[HD2 Android SD Development] apallohadas:
That reminds me:

I can't tell you guys how much I recommend getting a data card reader or microsd to USB adapter. Moving files around through a reader or adapter is SO much faster than mounting as a disk drive!

Especially all that porn that I know you guys have. Not me however. Nope. No sir. Not a bit....

Question

First let me start by saying I love this build. I been updating every time you have come out with a new one and falling in love with it all over again. Unfortunately Ive run into a hiccup. Whenever I connect my phone to a charging source like my computer or charger it restarts my phone and Im back to Windows. Anyone else have this issue or ideas how to fix? I tried resetting it and restarting it but nothing?
[HD2 Android SD Development] themacroe:
I notice when there is a problem with my market or any other apps that require data , my data connection has succumbed. I really hope there is a way to fix this data issue that is the only thing i have had trouble with other than that I am enjoying every min of froyo goodnees on my hd2
[HD2 Android SD Development] initzero:
well, this rom was running so beautifully all day long, then around 5pm at 60% battery with hardly any use the phone got very hot and wouldn't come out of standby and had to pull the battery. What sucks is that stock winmo has it's own issues with Microsoft Exchange of all things. I really love cmy's rom, it's the best of all i've tried, and wish so much I could just use it everyday and have everything run normally. (I have a dream!) I feel like someone has given me a ferrari only to have it break down 5 miles down the road. I guess the HD2 must have some anti-android code hard-coded into it or something. As I said earlier it's not just this rom but every rom i've tried. If i do any mods to this phone even in winmo (CHT for example) it's just a matter of a few days til something goes south. I hate this cuz I bought this phone and wish I could be allowed to run any OS I want, and modify it anyway I want so I can actually be happy with it, but I guess the corporate suckholes just don't want to let that happen. Why the hell do they care when they're getting our 2 year contract and paying our bill every month. It's because that aint enough, they also want us to run and pay for the programs they want and control everything else we do with it as well. CMY, you must not have these problems or else you would have given up a long time ago. The apps i run besides the one in the rom are weatherbug, battery indicator, exchange sync, and that's about it. The widgets I run are rss, friendstream, htc weather, email and thats it. I'm gonna just go for the win rom you said, wipe everything and see what happens. If that doesn't work maybe i'll stick this phone up tmobile's and htc's and microsoft's @ss! Pardon my rant.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Gibbage:
So my 1.0.2 build would no longer boot, so I wiped it out, and installed 1.0.3. Now I keep getting the same error over and over.

"Sorry! The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" with the option to force close. I close it, and it will pop up a few mins later. Any suggestions?

Now you are good to go.
[HD2 Android SD Development] gshadow325:
It comes with the territory as your work starts to get noticed. Look at NRG back in the day, now he justs tweets and puts out the rom and let the users help each other. Does he even responds to posts anymore? LOL. Take it with a grain of salt brother. Its all you can do, it will never stop until you stop making roms. Hopefully that will never happen but the day will come. One way we can all show our appreciation is donating, nothing says thank you better than dead presidents!!

[HD2 Android SD Development] tigerz0202:
Great build cmylxgo, been running for the last couple days and I love it, it seems you have added all the cool stuff, camera works well and looks great, video playback is good, coolest keyboards on any build, only two issues.

1. Data drops aren't frequent but when it drops it drops hard and I have to reboot, I'm trying hasterin 8. 4 today to see if this helps and I will leave feedback.

2. Music player widget, has mind of its own sometimes and I know you're aware of it so I won't ask ten thousand questions about it.

Keep up the great work buddy and looking forward to next update
[HD2 Android SD Development] alantak:
Please do! I also suspect

the kernel.

I am also getting CPU spikes that sometimes coincide with the data loss. Using the System app to kill all programs clears it up.
