TO. ktuy1320

someone mentioned in the forum before,this builds are usually for europe and asia might have problems with data in america.900 and 1800 something like that and it seems the problem was that.then again lot of others having the same issues in europe and asia,your best bet is try higher radio which i have 2.15.50 and i also changed the kernel to 8.5.3 that helped a lot with my data.

i have also used mdj 4.4 with hastarin 8.5.3 kernel and worked excellent,at the moment i am using mdj revolution hd 1.2 which is excellent havent had any problem you can try your luck with them also.GOOD LUCK FRIEND

You're really missing the point.

It has really worked for me.

Thanks. I'm from Spain and I saw chinese characters on accents and other unusual characters even with the UTF8 initrd posted in the first page.

With yours, it has worked perfectly!!!

Thanks again!

Updates from post 2 still on?

Hi!

Are we still using the updates from post 2 or are they included in the file at post 1?

If so, can someone please help me and tell me how to install them?

From what i can see there's scripts to run, but can't i just copy to SD card overwriting the old ones and reboot?

Sorry, but i'm still learning this!
[HD2 Android SD Development] cheetozz:
Yup. I tried the "initrd utf8 update" from the fist page and it did not work, so I decompressed it, added the right parameter to the mount command of the init file and packed everything again. That's all I did. I don't know why Cedesmith named that update as "utf8" - there was no trace of it there. I think he just unintentionally missed something when compiling...

By the way, I can try to rebuild the async version from the first page also, if somebody needs it.

Though, I don't recommend it - the performance of sync version is excellent and is enough for all tasks and it is totally stable, what I can't say about async one.
[HD2 Android SD Development] greg17477:
Exactly, copy build from post 1 and then copy the updates from post 2 into the desire_hd2 folder and overwrite the ones inside :)

Solution for Wifi Mac address

Hey, for all that needs to change wifi Mac address, while developers dont provide a new kernel, there is a "manual" solution on this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819819&page=2

Basically:

1 - Disable wifi

2 - Use some app like root explorer and edit file /system/etc/calibration and change the Mac address on first line (for me, it was on first line) and save the file

3 - Turn on wifi (no needs to reboot)

Check if your address is correct into settings/about/hardware information menu.

Worked perfectly for me. There is no problem if you reboot your phone, the change is persistent.

HD2 Touch Screens Die

Matthew,

For what its worth my HD2's touch screen also just died this Saturday while I was trying another Android build. I spoke to T-mobile and the service rep was surprised my phone lasted this long! Apparently there are a lot of HD2s with touch screen death. Do a Google search. Fortunately for me I was still under warranty and TMOUS sends you a replacement phone free of charge.

So all of this Android work may be heating up the phone, but apparently touch screen death is a genetic weakness in this phone...

[HD2 Android SD Development] warrington:
I recently tried Cedesmith HD on my phone. I have 2 SD cards so I went back to my old build during the day as I need to have maximum phone efficiency.

Anyway, going back to Cedesmith build. After I installed all the build with the updates (all in 1 go), I'm looking at my SD card through my PC now and noticed that the update and root folder are gone. wanted to ask if that's normal for the build. Gonna put it into my phone now and see how it goes/what has happened. It was good last night though, but wanted to know if missing the update and root folders are supposed to happen. will update you guys in a while thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] amantes_amentes:
Yes it's normal, after update it deletes these folders because of not doing update at every boot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrington:
Cool thanks for the info. Using it now and first thing i noticed was the net speed. I'm only using wifi here ad not 3G (expensive back here). Data transfer IS really fast as I notice a big difference between this build and previous build.

Texting and phonecalls are ok too, just finished on the phone and all network messages get into the phone.

I might be talking too early but I have not noticed any drop in my mobile provider signal yet (for calling and texting only, not 3G). But this is a good sign.

Not doing OC/UV as i'm no pro at those too. Hope the information helps you guys. Will post some comments when i do get them.

Oh yeah one last thing. I did see the lag during installation of programs, but it doesn't really affect the usability (for me anyway)
[HD2 Android SD Development] karlichon:
Hello,

I've installed the build on an kingtom 4Go yesterday but I can't understand how people can say that this build il very fast.

Contatcs sheets appears very low, apps install by the market makes the phone unusable during install (too slow), many apps like internet, folder organizer and many others open very slow and it dosn't boost very quickly... any idea if this is an isolated problem ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ToddeSwe:
How do you meen by contacts sheet? Is it when you load all contacts list? Here it apears at once no delay at all. I've tried all Desire HD out there and i find this one the most stable and the fastest i've tried. Maybe sometime there's a small wait but overall i think this does it for me, AND remember it just a beta.

What gotten me to try this one is that hastarin is using this one, and that tells me alot. :)

I noticed that if you turn off ALL live updates and stuff and then turn them on one by one to see which one that's slowing your device down and then keep it as a manually update... just a small tip...
[HD2 Android SD Development] bachmark:
Hello

Try a other CF Card, fo me the build works fast with a sandisk class 2 card, with a low cost cass 6 card it is very slow.

The market is slow with any hd build, everything else works fast for me with the sandisk CF card.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cmillens:
Not sure what I am doing wrong with this build. I've had other Desire HD builds before and I honestly prefer them. But with this build, I started with a Kingston Class 4 card and the original post. Had the same slowness that karlichon mentions. Moved to a Class 2 SanDisk and the speed, for me was even slower.

Applied the updates in post #3 (I think it was) and Instantly it was faster, MUCH faster. But ... on the second boot, EVERYTHING started FC'ing on me and I do mean everything. Internet, HTC Hub, Market, Clock, EVERYTHING.

Tried the updated download in post #5 (I think.) Same problem - EVERYTHING FC's on me .... I am going to try a Task29 install of it all again but I'm not hopeful about this build. Even before and after I applied the updates in post #3, the first time, I still had no data and couldn't download weather, hit the market, nothing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ToddeSwe:
My score in quadrant is 2260 :) and everything works even the camcorder. :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=787588
[HD2 Android SD Development] amantes_amentes:
Yes, it looks smooth, but still lag sometimes, freeze when installing app and inconsistent battery drainage, some FC's after update. I'm using sync version of initrd. No data corruption.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ToddeSwe:
Yes i can agree with you that it becomes unusable when installing apps. What do you meen by "inconsistent battery drainage"?

But this ROM is just a beta and still does the job (for me) better than the other Desire HD ROM's out there.
[HD2 Android SD Development] amantes_amentes:
I think "beta" is a choice of naming. So beta doesnt mean less stable than another build "not beta" I like this build because it is untouched and stable most of the time. I mean battery usage changes between 5-9ma and ~50ma in stand by after upgrade to 8.6, sync off.
[HD2 Android SD Development] schlei:
Hi, im really happy with the Rom.

But are there any chances on using HTC Sync ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ToddeSwe:
Yes i like it when it's untouched as well or at least as much as possible.

I wonder how long it will take before we have a stable ROM to flash our HD2's with?!
[HD2 Android SD Development] greg17477:
do you mean with htcsense.com sync? well, its working on this build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] My_HTC_HD2:

This ROM is the most stabled I ever used.

everything is working on my HTC HD2 from camcoder to the GPS everything is just perfect It is even more stable than my stock ROM:p

Now WhaT I want is to have permanently on my phone.

How can I do manage to do that.

Thanks once more cedesmith for your ROM.
[HD2 Android SD Development] June25th:
I want to use Google DNS for my mobile data connection, I tried OpenVPN (download from market) but each time I reset the phone, the DNS changed back to default. So, is there any way to permanently change DNS for mobile data connection in that build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] mmduluth:
I'm pretty sure its in the build prop. At tthe very bottom it shows your DNS settings. You change them there and reboot. Make sure you backup your build.prop just in case.
[HD2 Android SD Development] schlei:
Hi I am talkin about the HTC sync tool for Windows. It doesn't connect to my phone.
[HD2 Android SD Development] June25th:
Thank you for quick reply. Using Droid Explorer, I copied the build.prop from \system\ to my PC, opened it with notepad, and I found this line:

But I don't know how it work:confused: I also found the ril_wrapper.zip at post #2 in this thread, extract it to desire_hd2 folder in my SDCard then boot android, but nothing change at all! OpenVPN still report that I am using the DNS provided by the ISP.:confused::confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] mmduluth:
Ok wait. I think I misread everything. You say you want to use Google's DNS and that's what your build prop is showing so that's what your phone is using. What DNS address is that app you downloaded saying your using?
[HD2 Android SD Development] June25th:
ok. That's what the build.prop show, but each time I switch on the mobile data, the phone using default DNS which is provided by my ISP (203.113.131.1) (so I can not access some website, i.e. facebook.com), after using OpenVPN to reset DNS, this app can change my DNS to Google's DNS (8.8.8.8), and then I can access facebook without any problem. The only issue is that when data connection switch off and then turn back on, this setting will be lost, and I need to us OpenVPN again just to use Google's DNS.:(
[HD2 Android SD Development] cedesmith:
dns are set by /etc/ppp/ip-up

change line 10 and 11 from

[ -z "$DNS1" -o "$DNS1" == "10.11.12.13" ] && DNS1="8.8.8.8"
[ -z "$DNS2" -o "$DNS2" == "10.11.12.14" ] && DNS2="8.8.4.4"

to

DNS1="8.8.8.8"
DNS2="8.8.4.4"

and don't forget to set permissions back to 755

to cedesmith eyes only

you have come up with this amazing build,which majority of people were so happy,and lots of people including me asked if you can upload a new build with all your updates into one and call it beta2,and still asking the same question.not everyone on the forum are developers and update or try to tweak their phones like some of us can manage,why dont you make people happy and upload fresh one with everyting in one file so we will be appreciated.

I CAN ONLY HOPE YOU ARE READING YOUR POST,AND YOU LOOK INTO IT
[HD2 Android SD Development] fiftyz:
Try post #4 from this thread... it is with all updates included or "beta 2" you are requesting.

.. Uff people... CAN YOU READ... at least 1st page of one thread?!
[HD2 Android SD Development] 2happy:
i dont know what seems to be bothering you with uffsssss,IF you can read YOURSELF,it sais cedesmith EYES only.first of all when at #4 uploaded some of the updates wasnt even there,i have not run into any problems with this build,i am talking in general.its not just you and me here in the forum.lots of people still can not manage updates after the #4.so try to read yourself what people are talking on the posts before jump and being clever.read my posts as well that i have not run into any problem with this built.

anyway i dont want to go into pissing contest,everyone on the posts helping each other,THAT is the idea for the members at XDA to make it better.wouldnt it be easier if this built was done in one file,without other members keep on running into problems trying to update.
[HD2 Android SD Development] greg17477:
first of all, if your post is meant for cedes eyes only, pm him.

I try to explain why it is a bad idea what you are demanding. As you said, its a developers forum, so basic knowledge of how to unzip zip files should be there, dont you agree?

With cedes update system ALL different people groups have different options to choose the updates they want from, and which work best for them. For example some people would like to have this dns and others that dns settings, or some would like to use async (me) or others sync version of initrd. We now have a diversity of options, so everyone is pleased with the best set of options for him. With only one file, the diversity is gone and the update system wouldnt make much sense ;)

So you take the main file from post 1, and then you choose the files from post 2 and unzip them into your build folder. No offense,but if you cant manage to unzip files, i think you are in a wrong forum :/

The beta in title is a bit missleading, coz this build is working better then any other :D

cheers
[HD2 Android SD Development] globalgpj:
Easiest way to do it is:

- Take any “RUU_signed.nbh” from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card. ( put it in the root of the sd card )

- Rename it to “leoimg.nbh”

- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.

- The new stock rom will begin the installtion process.

- Just follow the prompts...as the new system loads, the HSPL will automatically change to SPL.

I just did this for my wife's HD2 a few days ago.

You can check the SPL afterwards by doing a soft reset which holding down the volumen down button. It will go into boot loader mode and you will see SPL3.03 if you use stock rom 3.14

I also advise to Hard reset and then soft reset the device after flashing. I found from past experience it helps with weird possible mem resident issues. It shouldn't happen normally but sometimes it does.

PS. Stock 3.14 ROM, will also load 2.15 radio rom on your device.

Hope this helps. :)

to....greg17477

its an excellent explanation,i must admit.its not a demand,i was one of the first one to use this build and its excellent and i am still using it daily from first day.i have done all the updates thanks i also know how to unzip files.i never run into single problem with this build. when i wrote the post,cedesmith was online.i have been reading the posts and lots of others having issues and dont know what to do with it.i thought been a fellow member we are suppose to help each other.i thought it will be easier cedesmith can improve this built to perfection.if his reading this posts he can do 2 separate builds that will suit everyone.this is what mdj does what darkstone does.

mdj 4.4 with hastarin kernel 8.5.3 its a good blend that works with 3g.

mdj revolution hd again with hastarin 8.5.3 is also good with 3g.

maybe hastarins kernel is the answer you looking for.

you can update the kernel and try your luck,just back up your files just in case you are not happy with the kernel.GOOD LUCK

I've corrupted my build and now i can't fix it

when i do fix_permissions.. it gives me an error

Anyway to fix this ? :/

EDIT: Can anyone provide me the fix_permissions file..
[HD2 Android SD Development] ZekeWolf:
Here you go:

IMPORTANT:

Rename file after download.

Remove the .txt postfix.

File name should be

fix_permissions.sh

IMPORTANT 2:

Use Terminal to run.

"

>su

>sh /sdcard/fix_permissions.sh

"

WATCH OUT: There is supposed to be a SPACE between sh and /

Works if you have the file on sdcard.

Good luck.

Ps. I have no idea if there is a newer version of the file available.

Ps2. I think you have to run this script before you corrupt your build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] white-energy:
Awesome.. i'll use adb, and thank you ;)

Actually, you don't need to throw away your data.img. This problem happened to me too and it was caused by a corruption in my Contact data. Try to go to setting, applications, manage applications and then clearing the cache for all the apps that are related to your contacts. Then resync with gmail and you should be fine.

Just wanted to say that I've been using this build heavily the last couple of days (lots of navigation in the car, looking up stuff etc) and it performed really well. Finally data was reliable enough, GPS worked quickly and battery life was good enough. Very happy.

Hi!

Have small question, since there's two img files for this ROM i just deleted the data.img when trying to make a new data.img for a new fresh install of Artemis v46, but it keeps resetting itself over and over... must i remove both system.img and data.img to get it to make a fresh set of img's in this ROM?

Copy the data.img from the original archive (7z) you downloaded. The system file does not need to be replace. Of course, you will lose all your data.
