* [UPD][BUILD][24.10.10]Mdeejay FroYo HD v.3.7|1.32.405.3|kernel:hastarin R7.6

This has given me great battery life because it's under-clocked, and still runs very smooth.

The skin changer is a great new feature for eye candy and so far everything works except the camera, but I can always boot back to winmo to take pics, until a solution is found.

I was reluctant to try this as I didn't want to reset up everything, so with a fresh SD card copied the build then coppied my image file from Froyo Sense 3.2 and amazingly it worked without issues. Just lucky I guess.

A big thanks to all you Devs. I never thought Android could be so much fun....

i'll surely try out your method.

I echo everything you've said but the camera is a killerapp for me, especially as the software on the Android builds produces much better shots than on WinMo.

Using Evo Revolution 2.3 until Mdeejay FroYo HD sorts the camera out.

I'm on mattc's 1.8. The most amazing build I've ever seen. It's stable, runs smooth with hastarins 8.1 kernel and I had never any problems. I've tried several others, like MDJ, Froyostone and Bangsters. But I have to say the only problem I had in MDJ's build was the issue with those scrolling lags and they're gettin very annoying at some time. The other builds I had much more problems like sync over the air, wrong GPS data and so on. And don't think I'm just puttin some builds on my phone to see that they don't work. I'm really in Android and I had long nights trying to solve those problems.

That's why I prefer mattc. Never had any dammed issue :D But where is he? I would really appreciate an update..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
Tytung's NexusHD2 wasn't listed and is the best Nexus-based build yet. It is the absolute only Nexus-based build that will function smoothly as a factory build with all my usual widgets. And I use the G2 7-screen launcher. So I have 7 pages worth of widgets and it is still as smooth as a factory phone. All of the others I've tried, except the MCCM Nexus-based build, will be laggy as hell and jerky when scrolling between homescreens.

Mdeejay EvoSense 2.3, baby! The best build so far, in my view. I've been using it with hastarin kernel 7.8 and the latest ppp wrapper for nearly two weeks now. I've not had to boot back to Winmo even once. Totally loving it as everything works like a charm.

Ever heard of the development section. All I can say is WOW
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] asctony:
Been there and there is a lot of ROMs there. Did you try a search? Just try a search for:

Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 rEVOlution

Let me know what you find. I would appreciate that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:

@OP You really should remove my OzDROID ROM, as it's not an Android build. It's Windows Mobile, a cut back version designed for running Android.

And my vote goes to mdeejay's HD build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] asctony:
Maybe I am doing something wrong.

I just did a search on that exact phrase:

Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 rEVOlution

using SEARCH>Build in Forum Search and get:

'Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.'

What should I have done?

If you got the exact link, why didn't you post it?

I have tried to be a little civil with you. However, with your smart ass remarks why don't you just mind your own business. You think you so smart, why don't you bend over and kiss yourself where the sun doesn't shine!

Apparently that is all you do is flame others. Go put a flame under your self. People like you have nothing better to do but 'urinate' people off. So go **** off, dude!!!

Just did a search on your comments to other members. You are really trouble, think you know it all.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MADhase:
asctony keep cool.

The question is, why don't you just go to the HTC HD2 Leo section in this board, go to "Android Development" an just browse ... I am sure, you can find the 2.3 Revolution Thread in less than 30 seconds (its just on the second page today, most of the times, its on the first page)..

to help you out.. here is the direct link, but please.. do me a favor and search again for yourself.

BTW... revolution fully replaced my W6.5.5 ... its faster, more comfortable, syncs perfectly on my exchange, ... why keeping the old ****, if it's so easy to change.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] the_scotsman:
Guys, remember the search function isn't always completely reliable...some people have a "knack" of knowing which keywords to use to find what they are looking for.

In this case, maybe rather than searching for the whole title of the thread, just search for "revolution" or "mdeejay" and you'll find what your looking for. Remember, search isn't case sensitive :)

But also, rather than replying to someone having trouble finding a link, and flaming them, just provide it to them if you know it, and remind them of the search feature, and refrain from any kind of flaming, as it doesn't really help anyway.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] asctony:
Thanks for your opinion and advice. As for me keeping my cool, why don't you go back and tell the OP to try and be civil. I probably do more browsing than most people on this board. However, when you use the search function it sucks!!!! I probably have more experience in IT than most of the people on this forum have in actual age. It amazses me that when someone makes a suggestion, it falls on deaf ears. Why is it so hard to provide a link to a ROM? I have done that on many other forums trying to help others.

Don't you think I have tried to search for things as others have?

I detest people who think they are the only ones who know how to do something and try to belittle others or classify them as being lazy.

I posted exactly what I tried in the search and how I did it. I stated I was Sorry and maybe did not do the search right.

Why did he not respond and say something to the effect that I should have used:

as the search key.

I know what forum I am in as I can see it at the top of the page. So, if you want to help me and others, why not tell us how you found it using the search function.

This seems to be one of the biggest problems on any forum. People slam people, rather than help them.

Thanks again. I do appreciate your input and info.

Personally, I really don't want the links for myself. I have 3 different Android builds that are working fine on my HTC HD2 and have been for over a month. I was making a suggestion to provide links trying to make it simple for others.

I just detest SMART Ass Remarks from DUMB Ass people. Go back and check that OPs comments to other people who he feels superior, too. He is...........
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] asctony:
I totally agree with your posting. Why when someone suggest something, that person is flamed? If we all tried to help each other, rather than make fun of them, this would be a forum of ture knowledge. Go to other forums and many people will state that they are completely turned off with the reactions by a few because of their lack of understanding and help.

There is no simple solution for the search feature. It is to unlimited in its scope and thus creates this type of activity. Why not post links if you know what it is? How much more effort does that take than the time to flame someone and call them stupid?

I was always under the impression that it takes less time to do something right the first time than trying to do it over after it was done wrong.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] veryhigh:
What is the point of providing a link when it is so easy to find the thread you want? I mean those frequently updated Roms are always on the first 3 pages and just one glance, unless you don't even have time to glance thru the forum.

The reason why ppl don't give links when being requested is not to flood the thread with unnecessary posts.

I believe by spending a little bit more time exploring the forum will let you know where to get your stuffs even faster than the search function.

So, if you believe what you are stating, why did you 'flood the thread with an unnecessary post?' Everyone has an opinion. I had a suggestion. So, instead of someone just saying yes or no to the suggestion, people like you are 'flooding the thread with unnecessary posts. LOL
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RalleD:
Dear asctony,

The only one 'flooding the thread with unnecessary posts' is you.

Did you read the Senior Moderators post right in the begining? In case you did not find it - here is a qoute of the relevant section:

Pls, could you stop arguing and ranting about the responses to your OT posts and get back to topic. Thx alot!

As others have said before: this thread is helpful especially to newbees trying to select an initial Android ROM to start with on their HD2. The last two pages have been less helpful unfortunately. Hope this changes back to good again.

*********

BTW I'm using [BUILD] [DISCONTINUED] [darkstone HD2Froyo V3] [kernel: darkstone]. Reason was to experience a clean and stable Android build without any UI mods like Sense. So far I'm quite happy stabilitywise. Power drain is the biggest disadvantage to WinMo (using Energy) so far. Rest is fine, stable and functionality is OK.

Cheers,

RalleD

PS:

Upon explicit requests earlier I've added direct links to ROM builds mentioned above ...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dashrink:
May i ask why?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] daemonfly:
Currently using Bangsters, as I have it all fixed and modded out how I want it, with very little issues. He's been slow on the new release lately though, due to RL stuff. Was going to give Shubcraft a try but when I went to DL, found it was discontinued.

Trying to find another good one, but all the currently praised builds are sense-based, and I don't want sense.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] asctony:
Another example of someone who thinks they know what they are talking about. Go back to posting 5 11/1 and see what MSKIP said why he would close this thread. It had nothing to do with my postings.

I made my posting #20 11/8. That's when I got flamed because I asked: 'Is it possible to provide the links for each of the Builds? Thanks!' Then the stuff hit the fan. I could repost all the comments back and forth by some OP, but that is pointless.

Who gives you or anyone else the right to flame anyone when they ask a question? My point is - add value or MYOB!

Did I start the arguing and ranting or are people like you creating the BS? You have your opinion of my postings and I have my own reason(s) to ask questions on this board. This applies to all of those who visit this forum. You can always skip past a posting you don't like. You don't have to take the time to find fault with someone you don't know or know why they posted something you think is stupid. The only stupid question is the one that is not asked.

Please explain to me what was wrong with me asking: 'Is it possible to provide the links for each of the Builds? Thanks!' 'Search' is one of the most flamed subjects.

If people would try to help others, instead of creating and injecting their personal opinions about others, this would be a much better forum. Don't blame me for this thread being considered to be closed. Check your facts first. Don't judge me, judge yourself. Move on!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chris_ah1:
you know what this should really be about is what base do you prefer??

MIUI base?

Cyanogen? (and which launcher)

Nexus/FROYO stock? (and which launcher)

Froyo stock with sense

Froyo Evo Base

Froyo HD base

Froyo Desire/Bravo base

Froyo Z base

.....etc.

Then once you have the base sorted out, it should be about kernel: Michyprima? Hastarin? Mdeejay? stock? - then don't forget you need to match kernel with base.

Personally I find the Froyo HD base to be the best - I like all the extra features, the pace and the scaling for the screen. I do not think that any of the others look quite as good on the HD2, even the Evo one.

However, whereas camera works on EVO/Desire/Bravo/Cyanogen/stock, it doesn't work on HD yet :(

I have also found mdeejay's S3 to be the best kernel so far - hastarin's in close second.

p.s. with S3 kernel and HD base and Laurentius V4 Winmo Rom current widget reports about 6 to 7ma at idle. :)

Then again I really don't use the crappy camera.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] AnttiV:
errr.. is it just me, or did somebody actually fire the people that made the AllShare app in the SGS and just took a bunch of their notes and incorporated the WORST ideas that other team had ever devised?

Ok, so AllShare wasn't a top-notch app in the SGS to begin with, but AllShare on the Tab is just a bad joke. Loading the list of files takes ~ x10 as much time as it takes on the SGS and then .. NO OTHER option to just display the files (ALL THE FILES) in alphabetical order, regardless of albums/folders however you had/wanted them to be ordered on the server... At least the SGS's version let's me browse folders. Tab's version just displays a HUGE list of files in alphabetical order, which is NOT really good for usage...

Are there any other apps to fill in that void? I mean there are DLNA servers left and right, but are there clients? That I could play videos (preferable support for dualaudio+subtitles) from my DLNA server?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Id like to know this as well... or indeed any client that will stream in full quality over the lan.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] brunino1967:
Me too ! Please write if you tryed some other DLNA client working on Samsung Galaxy Tab
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Makoselm:
I tried AndroMote. It works fine for me.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] AnttiV:
????

That's a Remote Control application, NOT a DLNA client as we talked about... At least I understood it so. (You can't watch movies from a DLNA server WITH THE TAB via AndroMote, can you?)

EDIT: Apparently it SHOULD be able, it just doesn't do that on my SGS. Will try on Tab later.

EDIT2: ARGHhh! Yeees, it does work - sorta. It needs to DOWNLOAD the WHOLE file over the connection to the device, THEN play it... with installed available applications, not within the app. so... NO, not really a suitable replacement. It's not really a DLNA media player, but a tool to download files from said server.

Nice to have, I guess, but not what I'm after.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
You can do this with any lan file manager. I use Astro smb.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] netgun71:
Which is all well and good as long as you're not watching anything decently HD or over 2GB in file size :)

I agree the AllShare app is aweful. I've found that ES File Explorer over SMB does a good job but neither the built in Video player or Rockplayer behave well with this. It only works if I turn off hardware decode in Rockplayer, which means it cannot keep up with the HD video demands.

UPnPlay in the market has a decent attempt via DLNA however it chokes on HD too.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] AnttiV:
I think ftgg99 meant you can do with filemanager anything you could do with AndroMote, not DLNA client ;)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Indeed i did. And when you sab behaves properly you mean it doesnt work because streamimg headers are not appacked to filetypes.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ritdaw:
Try twonky from the market, works quite well.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] AnttiV:
Isn't Twonky (mobile) just a server? Does it play on the device also?

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Use vplayer, it should play everything.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ritdaw:
Doesn't have built in dlna does it?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Indeed not. However you should have a Dona service already. I can't get it to work either, probably because I removed both allshare and dem content launcher... I would love to get them back, but have no apostle.

+1 - Been using this since I got my Vibrant in July. Easy to use and works awesome. Works just as nicely on the Tab too.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] AnttiV:
Twonky looks good and is waaay faster than AllShare, but unfortunately is out of the question since it refuses to play .avi files (and mkvs and wmvs and and. I can't get it to play anything at all really. Don't have any mp4s around, I hear those should work...)

Also, I don't know if it had something to do with the server-side update (I use TwonkyManager v2 in a Win7 machine) but couple of days ago my "browse by folder" ability disappeared completely, no I can just browse everything by date of playlists, which isn't at all practical with folder-based organization... :(
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] dliao:
I'm looking for a streaming solution too for the Tab. On the iPad I had the StreamToMe software running, and it would transcode the video on the fly, and stream to iPhone or iPad. Doesn't seem like there's similar solution on Android. I tried copying some of the movie file I have and it's just laggy to play even locally with vPlayer and RockPlayer. Anyone has a good solution?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] koven:
In Rock layer turn on hardware decoding or use mPlayer
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] agentdr8:
I think I've found a good combination for streaming to the Tab. I used to have an Archos 70IT, which had native smb and upnp support, which worked great with my upnp server. The software I am using is PS3 Media Server (java-based, so multiplatform capable: http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/). At first, I tried using AllShare, which sucks as a renderer. I couldn't make it work with PMS, regardless of settings in the renderer config file snippet I had grabbed from their forums.

Not to be completely beaten, I took a recommendation from this thread to install UpnPlay from the Market, as well as VPlayer. UpnPlay has its own user-agent string, which is not entirely needed in PMS, as you use it only to browse the media. To actually stream something, it sends a different user-agent string, which I've captured and put into a renderer config file (below). PMS is pretty much set as default as far as transcoding options, and it seems to be able to stream pretty much anything to VPlayer. I also tried the most recent RockPlayer, and while it has a nicer interface, the performance is sub-par. You can't enable the hardware decoding in RP unless your transcoded files are of a format that the stock video player can decode.
