Google Maps Issues

Anyone having trouble with Google Maps? Whenever I restart my phone, it will act like it's the first time I've used it (brings up the 'What's new with Google Maps" screen) and it crashes frequently and gives me the Force Close pop up.

Strange behaviour

Same here. It worked, then a couple of days ago it started doing this. I tried a different SD Card, a different WM Rom, no success. Anyone else experienced this?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] copenhagen:
Un-install googlemaps (or any app that is doing this) and reinstall it. That should fix the problems and fc's
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] UnkzDomain:
Yeah, I just got the same issue... :-\
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Andy240:
Thanks for the response. Gave that a try but didn't work, unfortunately. I just noticed that it says "Login failed" shortly after opening Google maps. Went to Menu/More/Sign in and it takes me through the steps to add an account, not log into my existing account. When I enter my existing account info, it tells me that that account already exists.

Update: I noticed there was that little exclamation point triangle in the status bar that was trying to tell me that Google Maps was requesting permission to do something (I don't remember exactly what - once I gave it permission, the message went away). So, once I granted permission, GM stopped telling me that Login Failed. (I think it may have something to do with Latitude). I still get the "What's new in Google Maps" welcome screen every time I open the program after a phone reboot.

I can't get Wifi tethering working, does anyone have any tips?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thehumble1:
I believe the hex code after the version date is always going to be different if anything has changed. I'm too lazy to look into exactly what it is, but it seems like a validation check. Even if the version number is the same, this is different if something has changed in the file. Just my deduction though.

I hope everyone remembers that each time you update the file, you have to change the startup.txt to say "android" instead of "CM6HTCLeo", at least if you are running all your junk in a folder named Android instead of CM6HTCLeo. Right?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Unconn:
I noticed more crashes, Traffic layer causing low memory, and things like "Welcome to maps' in version 4.7.0 of maps. I rolled back to 4.6.0 and it is much better for me. I thought it was a HD2/Android memory issue, but installing the older version helped.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tyween:
It seems something has been introduced into the code since nightly build 254 that won't let our phones boot. I have tried 254, 261, and 262. So I suppose we will be using the build based on 253 for some time until we can figure this out. None of these builds make it past the white HTC screen.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] wheeliemonster:
No it does it every time. I meant I'm running one of the earlier builds and when I tried upgrading to the latest nightly it wouldn't boot.

I tried with my old data.img and also tried letting it create a new one.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thehumble1:
it doesn't look like anything has changed in the nightly, so I don'w know what is wrecking the auto build. What is your update method?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tyween:
the latest nightly does not boot. not past 253. My upgrade method is running the script michy posted to make the new build.

In the v4 19 build, I cant seem to get wifi connected. In v4 17, wifi connects, but doesnt seem to be working properly. I havent tried v4 18 yet.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
Michyprima, could you pls zip up the needed camera libs for the newer kernels for the cm6 builds for me? Thx, I've tried and had some issues getting the right ones.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thehumble1:
Michyprima's CM nightly build does not need any camera libs. They are already in the package. you might have a problem if you are not running a compatible kernel that can use those. You'll have to use a separate fix for the green flash problem.

The best way to get your camera to work is to install the nightly (I'm using 11/18) and then an appropriate kernel (I'm on hastarin's 8.5b).

My wifi generally works on 11/18, though at my house it gets a lot of drops (WEP protected on a D-Link router over DSL modem/line). At work I get 1.5-3 mbps up/down consistently without much hesitation. What program are you using to test?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
Thx, actually, I'm using my own CM6 and I push the updated nightly's to my system.ext2 build. I could probably grab his last autobuild, and pull the files. But if he has them in a folder for the autobuild to push to his system.ext2, that would save me the time and also keep me from pulling wrong files....

EDIT: downloaded and actually seen that files are not in system.ext2 yet, so it's easy to grab files from the folders. Thanks anyhow. I should be good to go now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tyween:
unkz that's what I get if I run I've of the newer nightly builds. the earlier ones work fine.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dan138zig:
which is the last version that works? i get stuck too using the latest one.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tyween:
I think DOWNLOAD v4 (11182010 nightly, 31bc15c1). if not the one before that. I have been compiling my own versions but I think it's one if those 2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JoeSzymkowicz:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] K_Hismoom:
The first post in the first thread I posted contains a link to a method that works with a Windows OS. Alternatively you could download a Linux live CD (e.g. Ubuntu), burn it, boot it up and do it from there.

It's not that hard, you know, you don't neccessarily need a VM running Linux.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] copenhagen:
If I understand correctly the not booting issue is caused by the CM6.1 nightly build... so..... you should post all that information on the cyanogenmod nightly forum where they can do something about it.... THEY have to fix their shiz before Michy's shiz will build properly.

That said... stop posting that its not booting. New users, use the build from Nov 19th... the 20th will not boot properly. read? read! readreadreadreadreadreadreadreadreadreadreadreadread
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tyween:
It is caused by the CM6.1 nightly build I was just trying to let everyone understand exactly what builds it effects and what the error was. You have to understand CM6.1 nightly builds are working correctly on Nexus One phones that the builds were designed for. We are using the builds meant for those phones which is why this issue arose. I don't think that posting in the CM6.1 nightly thread will help at all, and that the general response would be this: "We made this build for the nexus one and it is working as intended." None of the nexus users are having a problem with builds past 253 as we are. Our phone is not liking something in the code and I think that is something that we should figure out and address on this forum.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smuvman:

u can also use the rootfts.img from bangsters 1.5 then edit the command line to say data_size 2048 and pow u now have 2gb like me
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] copenhagen:
... i agree with you.. but... thats not how it works.

Its unreasonable to expect Michy to fix errors in the cyanogenmod build. It is however more then reasonable to work WITH the cynaogenmod dev`s to track down whatever is causing our issues. (regardless if they made it for our device or not) who best to fix whats broken but the people who know it best.

You never know until you try right....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
I've switched from the Passion nightlies to the Bravo nightlies about a month ago, and thanks to MichyPrima's video, plus the folder structure and files, I was able to figure out which files not to use from the nightlies to upgrade my cm6 build.

However, I have not had any issues not being able to boot any of the latest nightlies, except when I tried to update the camera libs so they would work with latest kernels. Also I needed to use the libgps.so file that Cotulla fixed so my GPS would work correctly (must have missed that file). Maybe the issue is with the camera libs who knows. If I knew the correct files or find them I'd use Hastarin's kernel. Until then I'm using LeTama's test kernel with they buffer fix for PPP which is compatible with the older camera libs I have working with cm6. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] prosumerhacks:
@noellenchris: just to know, why stick with cm6 anymore? if you have decent performance with ur current mashup of a build, care to share it among the fellow users out here? ;) it would help us all get a look at one of our fellow geeks Android setup? :) pls do upload your best working build and share it... may it can be a learning process for all of us here...

thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
lol, thanks, but my build is basically the same thing Michprima has here. It's CM6 from Pongster and all I've done is update the files from Cyanogen's nightlies. There is a core list of files that you can't upgrade since they are specific to HD2. Anyone can do the same. The quickest way to upgrade, but it's not a full upgrade I guess is to put the CM6 nightly system/app/all files in your android/root/system/app folder and also the system/framework/all files in the android/root/system/framework folder. I do it that way unless there is a lot of changes. Most of the updates in the nightlies are kernel/modules which we don't use anyhow.

If you decide to mess around doing this, then make sure you copy your system.ext2 from your sd card first.

If your using michyprima's builds, you could also just keep your data.img file and upgrade the rest. That's probably the easiest. If I ever find enough time, I will rebuild my build and share.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jmmmmm:
Where do we get these nightly files?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Cyanogen's site
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zagzag99:
Interestingly Kouno.Takaaki did manage to package the 22.11 nightly into a working build for HD2. Here.

So maybe something just missing in this build packaging?

Unfortunately I don't have enough knowledge to investigate the differences between this build and the HD2One.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] K_Hismoom:
I noticed that he uses hastarin's 8.2 kernel, which afaik has the old camera drivers. If the problems are truly related to the new camera drivers, I don't think this is helping much.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] michyprima:
I will investigate in this days why it is not booting...

I will let you know ;)

DIRECTIONS ON HOW I UPGRADE MY CYANOGENMOD BUILD TO LATEST NIGHTLIES. YOU CAN USE PASSION OR BRAVO NIGHTLIES POSTED HERE

PASSION: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=passion&type=nightly

BRAVO: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=bravo

BACKUP YOUR SYSTEM.EXT2 FIRST!!! IT'S ON YOUR SD CARD

Here is a list of files I don't copy from the latest nightlies. This works for me. I don't usually copy all the files, but instead just copy the system/app files and the system/framework files into my android/root/system folders on my SD to be pushed on android restart. This method is quick and it won't affect much and will get most updates to the .apk apps and stuff for the cyanogenmod settings and notification/status bar.

1. I skip the following files in the CM system/app folder

superuser.apk (optional also)

androterm.apk (I don't use this one, optional)

camera.apk (skip if your using newer kernels that need specific camera.apk)

2. Skip these too CM system/lib folder

libbluedroid.so

libbluetooth.so

libbluetoothd.so

libcamera.so

libgps.so

liboemcamera.so

libOmxCore.so

libOmxVdec.so

libOmxVidEnc.so

3. Don't copy the following folders/files

system/hw

system/modules

etc/ppp

etc/firmware

etc/AudioBTID.csv

etc/gps.conf (optional in case you edited it for your region)

etc/media_profiles.xml (unless you have 720p camcorder working)

4. Then I only copy the remainder of the folders to my android/root/system folder and then you can reboot and files will get pushed. Once in android use a file manager

to delete those files you just pushed so they don't get pushed everytime your restart.

5. You can also add optional files to be pushed at this time also ie. any ril wrapper, modules, ppp options, build.prop, htcleo.acdb, lights.htcleo.so etc.

After first boot: You also may need to run terminal and type "su" then "fix_permissions" and reboot again. (make sure you deleted those files above)

IF ANY OF THIS IS TOO HARD TO UNDERSTAND, DON'T ATTEMPT THIS. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PHONE NOT WORKING!

I POSTED THIS AT THE REQUEST OF ANOTHER MEMBER, AND IF YOU CHOOSE TO FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS IT'S YOUR DECISION NOT MINE.

NOELLENCHRIS

EDIT: IF YOUR USING MICHYPRIMA'S NIGHTLY BUILDS, PLEASE CONTINUE TO USE HIS METHOD AS IT IS MUCH MORE EFFICIENT AND WILL PROBABLY WORK BETTER. OR AT LEAST USE HIS SYSTEM.EXT2 FROM HIS AUTOBUILD TO UPDATE YOUR BUILD.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] UnkzDomain:
Thanks for the post. I just have a few questions:

So would it be safe to copy EVERYTHING from the nightlies except the following:

system/hw

system/modules

etc/ppp

etc/firmware

etc/AudioBTID.csv

etc/gps.conf

and if not, how can I tell when to replace files from places other than apps and framework in the build?

Also, how much of a difference does it make a difference copying from bravo instead of passion? Are the binaries in /system/bin from bravo compatible with the HD2?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
don't copy the lib files too. Some of the dev's starting using the bravo files awhile back, I used to use passion and I don't really know the difference, so you should be ok either way.

As for when to copy everything vs only the apk's, I don't have a good answer, but I only do all the files like once a month or if I read that there are a lot of changes to other files from the cyanogen forums or their twitter feed http://twitter.com/#!/cmsrc

>4. Folder up a couple of times and delete the META-INF folder and boot.img leaving just the system folder. Open the system folder again and select all - copy. Paste everything in the /sdcard/android/root/system folder on your device. reboot and files will get pushed. Once successfully in android use a file manager to delete those files you just pushed so they don't get pushed everytime your restart (delete 'system' from /sdcard/android/root/)

If you follow his directions you can mount your data.img or system.ext2 in windows. I've been trying to figure this out and it works like a charm. Now you can just copy the nightlies over to your mounted system.ext2 and then copy to your sd and if it don't work then you have your orig copy. Anyhow, I thought this was exciting stuff.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] K_Hismoom:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] UnkzDomain:
Yeah, I use Ubuntu so I just directly mount system.ext2 and copy over the existing files and keep all the HD2-specific files in /sdcard/Android/root/ so that even if I accidentally copy over an essential file in the system.ext2, everything still works out fine.

how did you copy the nightly files over? Also sometimes you miss some files, I may have also this is a tedious process, that's why I'd advice everyone to use michyprima's system.ext2 as he made a autobuild script to reduce human error. :)

Hopefully you made the backup, if you don't figure it out I'd use the backup and try again.

I have trouble selecting alarms and ringtones from the Sound menu in Settings.

It may be worth noting that I changed kernel.

My process was to take the last working build here - 1911. and to place on top the files from a recent cm6 nightly. Skipping the files and folders you meantioned in a post before. The result is a reboot after the HTC white screen.
