Why wont this build let me create a new data.img? i would imagine it to be snappier and less buggy if that were possible. But the build is quite responsive, but theres FCs on apps i use and installing apps (market and titanium) are a drag.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rolandp:
Hi,

Just want to ask what kind of battery widget u used the one on the screen shot...

Looking forward to this ROM. Have tried both original and lucien777 builds. Builds run after about 5 mins. Setup configs & reboot. Boot fails to load. Using Ozroid v2 and 2.15.40.15 radio. MCCM HD build run fine. Any thoughts?
[HD2 Android SD Development] azert789:
You are sure, i can't run Artemis with this android rom??? Because i enjoy artemis and this android rom.....

ROM : Artemis ver.44 / Radio : 2.15.50.14 / spl: 3.03.0000 / os: 5.2.29148/ protocol : 15.42.50.11U
[HD2 Android SD Development] FrAsErTaG:
Thanks a bunch man

I just tested this for the past couple of hours!

It has fixed my lagging wakeup. this has been the only last issue ive experienced and I have tried multiple cards.

Is it possible to get rid off the Amazon MP3 app? From scratch on..
[HD2 Android SD Development] drizztje:
Sure, just delete the relevant apk and odex in /system/app using root explorer.
[HD2 Android SD Development] KrewsialNL:
FS Explorer go to /System/App and delete the Amazon MP3 file :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] lucian777:
Try to change your radio to 2.xx.50.xx.xx.
[HD2 Android SD Development] djbarney:
thanks drizztje & KrewsialNL, was wondering the same thing, forgot about doing it this way :) appreciated!
[HD2 Android SD Development] cheetozz:
Still no Russian filenames...:( Could you please check it out.

I think you should insert the "utf8" parameter in the sd card mount command of the init file, like this:

mount -t vfat -o fmask=0111,dmask=0000,utf8,rw,noatime,nodiratime,flush /dev/block/$sdcard_partition /bootsdcard

I did not found anything like this in both versions of the updated initrd so maybe you missed something. Or it just should work other way which I don't know about.:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] KrewsialNL:
NP mate ;) You're welcome!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Kouno.Takaaki:
Agree with you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] elgrego4:
Im really running out of patience with this build. It seems like a problem every few days. Now Im getting the android.process force quit error, If I werent at work I'd just replace the build, but this has become the most unreliable build I have used for a long time. I'm thinking of trying MDJ hd builds from now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nobnut:
It's a shame it only appears to be you this is happening to. I wonder what the cause could be? Umm...
[HD2 Android SD Development] elgrego4:
It isnt just me smart arse, look through the 85 pages and you will see this problem happening to others!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] tomasz:
Nofi, but I don't think it's anyone's obligation to provide you with free, stable, tested software that's guaranteed to work.

I've been using this build since december first and applied all updates on the way. Still the most stable -and more importantly: feature complete- build I've tried. Only issue I have is the lag that occurs when installing an app from the market or opening large folders with a filemanager.

Have you applied the initrd update to avoid data corruption? If not, that might solve some issues (you will lose a bit of I/O speed though, but that's noticeable only in Quadrant scores).

Otherwise, are you OC'ing with SetCPU? In that case: don't do that and see how it runs for a while. I've encountered force closes and sudden reboots when I had SetCPU set to a max that was higher than standard. running 245/1036 smartass now, with only screen off/high temp profiles enabled with lower values and haven't had stability issues since.

Oh and one other option; do you have an Android folder from an older build? If so, that may cause a conflict, because of google apps reading and writing data to an android folder. If that's out of sync, you might expect some strange behaviour. Safest way is to delete the Android folder and let the google application recreate their caches.

Edit: and have you tried different radio ROM? Your signature states a 2.12.51 version, whilst most reports are that only the .50 radio's work well. I've never tried another radio than a .50 version, so I'm not sure if it has anything to do with your issues.
[HD2 Android SD Development] elgrego4:
Thanks for the ideas, I'll give them a try. I applied all the updates and the radio on my profile needs to be updated cos I have 2.15.50.14
[HD2 Android SD Development] alphadeeto:
have been using MCCM HD until now the thread is closed, and my friend suggests me to use this build.. downloading right away and hope everything works fine or even better! :D

any other non-working feature other than the camcorder?
[HD2 Android SD Development] 5do12:
Camcorder works, records 800x480. It's in the second or third post.
[HD2 Android SD Development] alphadeeto:
wow.. so this build is just perfect! ~~~5% until download is completed~~~

is there any way to backup my downloaded apps, contacts, and settings from my previous build and restore them into this build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] tomasz:
You could try re-using your existing data.img. But it's not guaranteed that it will work without trouble.

Download the version fom post #4 (if my memory is correct), It includes all the updates (incl. camcorder)
[HD2 Android SD Development] 5do12:
It worked for me. I used my data.img from MDJ's build and everything worked perfectly.
[HD2 Android SD Development] alphadeeto:
but there's this caution in post #4 : Install only if you have data.img corruption, or force close on apps.

or could I just download the update in post #2 and insert it in the build that I download from post #1?

I'll try using the existing data.img.. so I just need to replace the previous android folder with this build, right?

thank's for the info! I'll try that! :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] tomasz:
The caution is there because that update slows down I/O a bit. If you have no data corruption trouble with this ROM, the update is not needed. However, if you don't install and you data gets corrupt, be sure to have a backup of data.img before you first boot this baby, or you'll still be starting from scratch :)

If you install all the updates from post #2, result is the same.

Also note that hastarin has a latest version of his kernel specifically for this build, also using the convenient update structure! (link is somewhere in this thread too)
[HD2 Android SD Development] elgrego4:
sorry to sound stupid but if im getting the process android.process.acore force close, does this mean my data.img is goosed?
[HD2 Android SD Development] alphadeeto:
tried this build, and all I can say is WONDERFUL!

copied the existing data.img and it works like a charm! I don't need to customize this build from scratch.. I've done some quadrant test, and it was like 2000++ quadrant, the highest of all builds I've tried! moreover, I'm just using class 2 microSD card.. I wonder how much it would be if I'm using the class 6 microSD card.. :D

I'm going to check the battery drain using currentWidget, but I'll leave it for tomorrow (or should I say today, since it's 2:45AM already :p).. damn, can't keep my HD2 away from my hands! :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] AgeOfPanic:
I used this build a while ago and really liked it. Especially battery life was great for me. However, I kept having Forced Close issues with apps, so I switched to MDJ builds. Now I see there are some updates for sync version, that is a little slower, but safer. I would like to try this again and I am preparing a folder including all the updates. So far I have found these ones:

uninstall.ereader.2.12.2010

update.default.acdb.2.12.2010

update.disk_drive.2.12.2010

update.dns

update.initrd-async.gz.07.12.2010 and update.initrd-sync.gz.07.12.2010

update.kernel.hastarin.06.12.2010 from hastarin

update.ril_wrapper.6.12.2010

update.video.mdj.2.12.2010

Are there any other ones out there? Also, are all of these (except of course the async one) recommended or only when you have issues?

Edit: another question about the update process. Some of the updates contain files with the same name or have the same target file. For instance one update contains a new initrd.gz and another updates the same file. Done in the wrong order and one of the updates might not work. Two updates both contain update.ril_wrapper.sh. It's a bit unclear which ones I have to do first.

Thanks guys.

Indeed, the fastest we use. Thank you very much to everyone who contributed

how could i get the same iops [quadrant score] in this build to MDJ's build
[HD2 Android SD Development] zoth:
Turn off any wireless thingy running except mobile data and see how your drain turns out. Also remember that when you look at current widget the system might have just finished doing any backgound task, that can effect the results when you look at it.

Hi, im trying to write a update script for HD2One which uses cedesmiths initrd. The problem is that it works from gscript but it wont work from the update folder on boot.

Any ideas why? It doesnt usually have a .txt extension ofcourse.

Just reboot your phone until you get 4-8 ma when screen off.

Dear cedesmith,

Update your thread/build.. check out the rules..

[HD2 Android SD Development] LondonTownGuy:
Or you could have simply done a search for all posts by cedesmith instead of reading the entire thread over and over. Now I wonder why you didn't think of that!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] AgeOfPanic:
I think I will just give it a try, but I'm still not sure in what order I have to install the updates. I want to install the sync update, which is a little slower. This is an update of December 7th. This update contains a new initrd.gz. Can I assume that this file already contains all the earlier updates to initrd.gz

how i can overclock the cpu without setcpu? The milestone(cyanogen6.1) have a file

in the folder /etc/initd/ named overclock and you can there "hardcode" the cpu_freq and

the govenor. Which file is it in this image/build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] polstein:
Going off memory, I think I had that problem before (in a different build months ago). I think it had to do with contacts data getting corrupted. Solution was to go to applications/contact storage (or something named similar) and clear the cache/data.

In my case, I just had to re-synch form my Exchange server & re-set a couple ringtones & it fixed the problem. Also, memory serving, I got the popup for acore like every 30 seconds so I had to click fast to get in there. I probably rebooted after clearing cache/data.
[HD2 Android SD Development] zoth:
And if clear the cache/data did not do the trick a lot of times, fix_permissions solve a lot of wierd FC issues.
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheGeorgiaSwagger:
missing folders?

Ok, so I have updated all of post 2, and from my understanding that is not all? Also, when I reboot things the folders i.e Root, update, lib) and all of the sort are missing, however when I go to copy back to sd it says Im rewriting certain files. Any explenation? Im a noobie to this build, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Data corruption maybe?
[HD2 Android SD Development] law16:
if you have allot of music on your sd card would it possibly slow down the build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] LondonTownGuy:
The updates in post 2 are all you need. After you update the build deletes the files on sd as they are no longer required (once they are passed to system there is no point in repeating the process every time you reboot).
[HD2 Android SD Development] beamnhi:
Has anyone updated to Hastarin 8.5.3? If yes, kindly share some results. :D

Did you by any chance change the foldername it resides in on your sdcard to Android like the other builds?

What version of Radio Rom do you have?
[HD2 Android SD Development] cd78:
This build is so good. Havent switched to another build as i see no need.

I guess it could be a *little bit* snappier on wake up, scrolling etc but apart from that brilliant!

Oh i forgot, missing Hot Reboot from shutdown menu - please add for next build cedesmith?! (and make adfree!)
[HD2 Android SD Development] bunnahabhain:
cedesmith could you update the Build with the included fixes and hastarin 8.5_3?

It seems that i am to dump to install the patches :(

I've installed the (faster IO) after updating im now having data connection problems. It could just be where i am in the office though.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hastarin:
There is no need to include these.

Ad Free

I was going to link an app for Hot Reboot too but I'm surprised they're all charged.

AFAIK They are simply sending the following command:

killall system_server

You can do the same easily enough with

GScript Lite

You simply extract the zips to the build folder. If you managed to install the build in the first place SURELY you can figure that out?!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Yanardag:
Please help.
[HD2 Android SD Development] LongZheng:
Can someone confirm if the updates in the "update" folder is suppose to be deleted after they're run once, or left on the device so they run at every boot?
[HD2 Android SD Development] alphadeeto:
I've tried to connect my HD2 to my PC to use internet pass-through.. there are errors, lots of them, but when I open internet on my device, it connected.. I've disabled WiFi and Mobile data connection, but the web page opened, thus proves that the connection is established and I can access internet from my device via USB to my PC.. however it doesn't work with any other application such as market and HTC location..
[HD2 Android SD Development] bunnahabhain:
So, do i have to install the Build first and then extract the content of the zips to the Android folder or can i just copy them to the Android folder befor installation?

After reading the original kernel thread by hastarin, I still don't understand whether r8.5.3_eb or r8.5.3 is better for our ROM. I am currently using r8.5.3. Thanks

My set-up NOOB Proof????

Hi all

I just wanna share my thoughts and procedures so it may (or may not) aid someone in helping them set-up to what I consider (at least) to be the best Desire HD build out there for the HD2.

First im from Scotland with an untarnished T8585 LEO just as HTC intended, with the latest update from their website which I believe to be the 3.14 update (thats my official WM ROM)

I also have a class 4, 4 gig SDHC card which has been formatted to the default settings on my windows PC (Windows 7, 32bit)

I downloaded the desire_hd2 rom from the first post, then extracted the contents of the zip file into a folder named "desire_hd2" This is very important that the folder be named this and NOT Android (which you see in other builds).

Then I downloaded all the updates which you find on post 2 and extracted them all to the desire_hd2 folder, overwriting them all where necessary!

Then I copied the desire_hd2 folder straight into the root of my SD card and put it into my HD2. Powered it on into Windows Mobile, went to the file explorer then to the SD card, then to the desire_hd2 folder, touched CLRCAD once then touched haret! Waited until it booted, ran through all the set-up i.e. facebook, google account etc, allowed the syncing to finish (may take sometime depends on how much data backed up you have)

And that was it I now have a near perfect Desire HD build running, but to keep it smooth try try and try not to reboot where necessary. But if you do need to go to settings, SD & phone storage and un-mount your SD card before rebooting. This helps reduce data corruption.

Iv been using this build since near day1 and it is by far the best out there for my set-up at least. Im sure if you follow these instructions to the letter you will also have a great working Desire HD build. But as usual I will not be held responsible for any breakages following any of this mini guide.

Peace JR
[HD2 Android SD Development] jamieross:
Have you tried a reboot after install? if not mind and Un-Mount your SD card before you do.

[HD2 Android SD Development] pReXx:
What about the battery?

Can someone say how long the HD2 last since the last charge?

[HD2 Android SD Development] htc9420:
I'm using synced img- got a lot of corruption using non synced desire builds.

I've tried the reboot and didn't work.

I was using 3.14 stock rom and 2.15.50.14 radio.

After the update, thinking the Wifi issue might come from the ROM, i switched to what Hastarin is using, ozDroid ROM
[HD2 Android SD Development] spyro00:

@Cedesmith

I created two fat32 partitions in my 4gb sd card. I put desire_hd in the second partition and i managed to boot android thanks to your help. Everything work fine. What is strange i can see just the partition in which there is desire_hd when i use android, i can't see and use the other partition. What else do i have to do or change to use the other partition?

Thanks in advance.

Ps i can see and use both partition in windows mobile.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Proz00:
do u use the orignal data.img that comes with this build ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] fiftyz:
Try changing your SD card and/or format it before first use...

I'm using this build for 10th days nou with async init.gz and no data corruption or any other error so far...

What is the difference between hastarin standard kernel and the kernel for this build?! I don't see the logic of kernel release for a build... the kernel is the core of Linux that this build is running on. Like we don't control our heart this build cannot control its kernel. Where is the logic? T y!
[HD2 Android SD Development] AgeOfPanic:
I decided to take the leap and reinstall. I used an existing data.img that was created by my mdj hd build. I installed the updates from the second post first, then hastarins update and finally the sync update. Works perfect. Snappy nd good battery life so far.

Now to find a stock Android keyboard that works, because HTC one sucks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] SkippyDogg:
My input for hastarins updated kernel, its lags after you unplug from usb but returns to normal speed in 30 seconds or less. Also, the lag when installing a new app is still there. I did not notice any difference in speed despite the fact that i choose the increase i/o speed updated kernel. i will post back after i have more time, I've been playing with it for about an hour, the i/o speed seems the same. The battery life seems a little low, cant really say much, i will post back in a day or two about battery life. Thanks to cedesmith for his hard work :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] elgrego4:
I really love this build (even though I moan a bit lol). Since I installed the new hastarin kernel, my data is unstable like in earlier builds. Does anyone have the original kernel and the latest modules for this build so I can get rid of the hastarin stuff please?
[HD2 Android SD Development] 5do12:
Mine works O.K. with hastarin's 8.5.3. kernel. No problems whatsoever.

how did u install swype? by putting in the AndroidApps folder? from experience this doesn't work. u need to install it manually. try uninstall and install again manually
