Buell75, i think that keyboard dont have arrows.

Yup, thats what we need to replace the trackball lack of this kind of builds, I can hardly wait for the release.

You're right, no arrows, but still a good keyboard :p

Has somebody tried Swype on this build ? :confused:

try to take a couple of shots, cam freeze after that and the only way to recover is hitting home key

also, in video recording, it keeps changing focus, kinda annoying

It works well, but swype is a toy for fun.

If you want a good keyboard HTC_IME, until michyprima dont realease that one with arrows.

[REQUEST] - Make CM6.1.0 package without rootfs

CM 6.1.0 got released.

You can download it from cyanogenmod site.

Can someone shed light on how it can be packed to work without rootfs like cedesmith does it to the desire/desireHD builds?

It appears that just with this technique the performance of the build increases.

I think it's because of less I/O.

And for us using HD2 it's important because we're running from SD and not nand.

I tried to re-create his technique but so far failed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tyween:
I have a build updated to 6.1.0.. been using it since last night. I just tried this morning to use his initrd.gz and it just got stuck at the black htc logo. If someone could help this build could be even faster!

Thank you for even considering this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RedWave31:
Damn YEAH Please :-)

The ONLY else CM6 Rom i've been able to find is the HD2ONE, but...seriously?

Tried it, it's not a rom, it's an electronic battlefield :-(

- 200dpi stock? That glitches everything

- Old camera support? It's been fixed since

- Why does it lags so much?

- On the other side, the guy seems to know what he's doing, but...wrong wrong choices :-(

So looking forward to your rom :-)

Put init files like init.rc, init.htcleo.rc under /system directory.

Or you may extract the initrd.gz then read the init shell.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kouno.Takaaki:
OK, sorry for the wrong thread.

But would you please tell me how can I improve my build, thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zagzag99:
Your build HD2One is fine and should get respect.

It provides easy customizing and now without rootfs it is blazing fast and easy upgradeable.

The 2 comments for improvement that I think the previous commenter refers to (a little too harsh and aggressively to my taste) are:

1. 200Dpi sometimes makes some apps look not at place.

My tests with Android for the past 3 months is that 180 gives much better views.

I use HD2One with 180 and it seems to me like near perfect for 99% of the apps

2. HD2One rom still uses the Old Camera.

Not that it's bad, because the old camera doesn't have some of the problems that the new camera driver has (like green tint) but the general public wants a fresh new rom without things that are "old".

Perhaps a patch for new camera is in order.

Letting the people decide which camera they prefer, with green tint or without.

(I know green tint can be overcome with defining the board to be "bravo" but it creates but it creates some other not perfect side effects)

My 2 cents.

And don't get despaired by others way of expressing themselves.

Keep up the good work on HD2One. I and some others do like it.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RedWave31:
Yep, apologies for being "kinda" rude, I didn't post on your thread voluntarily for that (because people already complained about the 200dpi thing and nothing has changed :( )

But since you're willing to accept suggestions, i'm gonna try to make it kindlier:D

As is, we are missing CM cooks BAD. My wish, is for EVERYONE to have a "cooked" rom as close to stock as possible, and then make it our own.

>It's one of the first rom that has a very good startup.txt tutorial, "tweaks" and stuff. Hence the "He knows what he's doing(compliment), but wrong wrong choices"(critic).

>I can

understand

that it is your personal taste, but,

to my opinion

, deciding to SHARE a rom instead of just contributing should be oriented towards what ppl can do, and what they can't.

>My side of the story : Changing DPI, Switching Kernel, Upgrading wrapper and pushing files through DroidExplorer, and basic stuff like that is, what I believe, what most ppl here will achieve (at least when it comes to me).

>However, when a build has a weird root folder, "outdated" libs, weird kernel implementation (still didn't understand why it's not auto), and

just doesn't behave like the others

THAT pisses me off, because I can't use it :D

So, basically, i'm pissed off because i want to use your rom, but there's too much tweakingfixing to do, i can't use my favorite kernel, i need to edit the startup.txt in order to have a "genuine" build, i'm lost because of the different folder, etc etc etc

I know I have a slow learning curve, but i'm not alone out there (and there's some screaming louder :D).

Understanding how Android works, and trying not to harrass people with noob questions is HARD to achieve.

So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE:

- Make a genuine rom, no weirdness included (DPI/FOLDER/KERNEL/LIBS)

- Teach us YOUR tricks (aka the startup tutorial)

- Provide us with your knowledge as you already did

And most of us will be very grateful of taking over the flame of CM ^^

And again, sorry if i'm being rude, French people aren't well known for the perfection of their English :cool:

- New Camera Libs (ask noellenchris / michy / look in this thread for the files)

- Patched build.prop for the green tint

- Working apns_config.xml for proper MMS implementation via MmsProtocol

- Sysfs undervoltage, and a how-to to tweak it :rolleyes:

- USB and Wifi tether included :p

- PPP Based (who got data locks today?) with a separate RMNET build

- And still, new init.rd of course!

And for icing the cake :

- Current Widget, LED me Know, SMS Popup, AdFree, BarcodeScanner build in

i hope that helps!

Also i have a question about the WIFI Channels , there are 14 available, but the rom is set to only scan 11, when i set it to 14 it works great, but upon reboot it reverts the setting to 11...is there a way to keep it set to 14 since this is the maximum?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] copenhagen:
where are you making the change from 11 to 14?

No probs, post edited..

when you go to WIFI, manage networks and you can see a list of available networks, hit the menu key and select advanced, then regulatory domain, then you get the options of 11, 13 or 14 channels

Hope that helps

MG
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] copenhagen:
update pour vous

@ mystic

it looks like the # of channels is linked to what region your device is set to. ie I think it was japan it will default to 14, us/na/europe will default to 11 - so it wont matter if you change it, it will change back.

From my understanding it is not a port, rather a hack to use several parts of Gingerbread in Froyo (ie base is still 2.2.1, but keyboard is from 2.3). That explains why so much is working on this one...

I am using one of your latest nightlies (not the very latest actually, don't remember which), and i find it very good! No issues besides inconsistent battery drainage (70ma with wifi OFF, 6 with wifi ON, weird one isn't it?). So far it is one of the very best builds i have used... Great job on that one!

I was sad when you said you were dropping nightlies in favor of Gingerbread... :/

Hey guys - can anyone help me get the new camera working? Please point me to a thread which may help if you know of one...

I'm using a nightly from a little while back which had the old camera in and I've tried to replace it with the new one. I've got the new APK installed OK and I think I've got all the new libraries in place with correct permissions. The symbolic links in /dev/msm_camera are being created by the 99complete init.d script but still the camera FCs on me.

I'm suspecting it's something to do with the media_profiles.xml or build.prop.

I've tried using a media_profiles.xml which noellenchris attached (either a few pages back or in another thread)

Are there specific lines which need to be in the build.prop to enable the new camera to work properly?

Does anyone have a method of converting from old to new which works?

- the 99complete script isn't actually running at boot, I have to manually execute it.

- my media_profiles.xml disappears after a reboot, as do any changes I make to the /etc/ folder. e.g. I had a file called media_profiles.xml.old in there which I deleted but now it's back after a reboot? (I'm using terminal emulator with su to perform these operations, not a file manager)

I know you may not be able to explain these weird goings on as I certainly can't but just though I'd drop them in in case they shed any light on my situation....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] copenhagen:
dont mess with the camera files... the build was released with the only ones that work.

to fix it:

save your data.img delete everythign else.

reinstall the last nightly I uploaded or ginger_hd2 and your camera will work again (they have the correct media profile/camera files etc)

ginger_hd2 is even using the new initrd - quite honestly its as close as we are going to get to what we want until cyanogen releases a gingerbread build for passion or bravo, at which point we will get a full cyanogen/gingerbread build - THEN we can start working on THOSE nightlies. I have a

feeling

they will be concentrating on releasing gingerbread now and there wont be anymore 2.2.1 nightlies released.
