Aha! So that's the way with this ROM, how about a 512Mb data.img file author? :)

I've heard that all other than the U.S device should use a 512Mb data.img, right or wrong?

I have noticed a small speed increase when on a 512Mb data.img, that's why i'm asking... :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] bjcolema:
As far as I know, any data.img up to 2gig should be no problem.

Hi

Nice ,to hear one more thing to exclude then when trying to make those reboots go away. :)

Having tried most hd2 android roms, this build has been running for over 4 weeks on my uk hd2 running stock t-mobile 1.72 wm rom with HSPL 2.08 and radio 2.15.50.

incredible performance and reliability.

Have not had a single 3g dropout (hasterin kernel 8.53) and happy to count to 20 when installing new market apps.

Lag problem when installing...?

Hi (Author)

Are you working on solving the install lag in some way?

Otherwise, love your work!

I always come back to this build - have tried practically every other build - none match this one for stability and connection imo.

Great work cedesmith!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] fracmo2000:
hi cedesmith,

im the same as other users, keep coming back to your build...do you plan on releasing an updated build (with all the the updates included). Im unsure if i got them all working last time, but want to swap back to your build from the one im on (too much eye candy...want plain n simple)

cheers man, merry christmas and happy new year when it arrives
[HD2 Android SD Development] globalgpj:
+1 For an updated build with all the the updates included.

Have a great and safe Christmas holiday season ! :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] globalgpj:
As I am new to Android customisation builds;

With the updates, does one copy them to an update folder one by one and then restart ? Or extract them all to an update folder and then restart ?

Or can someone explain how to do each update individually as listed below in a step by step process ?

Updates - extract to desire_hd2 on sdcard

1. Hastarin kernel updates extract content of update.kernel.hastarin.xx.xx.xx directory on sdcard/desire_hd2 (dev,readme,root,update,zImage)

2. Update.initrd-async.gz.07.12.2010.zip

3. Update.ril_wrapper.6.12.2010.zip - mobile data fix

4. Update.video.mdj.2.12.2010.zip -fix video recording and playback

5. Update.default.acdb.2.12.2010.zip fix audio volume in calls.

Thanks in advance ! :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] altec1000:
Just download the file from post 4 (lucian777). It includes all updates.

I am running a week on this rom. Have installed a lot of apps and it is still stable now. Battery life is great. Fast and smooth. Only a few tweaks would make this rom better:

1. If I call some-one the volume is set to max

2. Streaming media (youtube/streaming radio) have stopped (it says network error). I can how ever surf with 3G.

3. Sometimes it lags already mentioned when installed programms.

4. HTC Desire HD received updates totday for better performance. Can

this rom get the updates too?

Looks like cedesmith does not want to support it anymore. But many thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rexdino:
all i can say is thank you...

really a daily rom in view of my current requirements. Thx again :)

Thanx, sounds interesting. Wondering if we will be able to use something..
[HD2 Android SD Development] danton11:
Do them one at a time, taking your time to do them. Or DL the updated build from post 4.

For the others who asked for an updated build the link in post 4 is it. There are no other updates specific to this build.

Also go for the stable version of the intrid.

Speed difference is minimal, after 3 weeks of stability the faster intrid is causing me lots of FC. losing lots of random apk data on restarts too.

This build is about stability for day to day use, speed is great either way...go for the less speedy stable option. Difference is minimal.......

Sent from my ro.product.model=Desire HD2
[HD2 Android SD Development] globalgpj:
Thanks for the feedback. I have a few questions though.

When I looked at Cedesmith #2 post, his updates are last edited on the 9th of Dec, while post #4 says last edited 3rd of Dec.........so I just reasoned that the file linked to the post #4 is not the lastest build. Am I right or wrong ?

Secondly, if that file is the lastest build somehow with all the updates, which Intrid version is on there, the stable one or the speed one ?

Thanks again for your feedback.
[HD2 Android SD Development] captainhakan:
Most of people are stuck with same question including me and as far as know there is no clear answer from developers about this issue.

I'd like to know if cedesmith is going to update this build with new HTC versions too. MDJ has released builds with new HTC Desire HD versions like lastest RUU 1.72.405.3 (WWE Android 2.2.1 FRG83D) and they are pretty fast however i prefer hastarin kernels because of old extended battery driver support and cedesmith initgr style so i'll be waiting for an update from cedesmith. Any news on this ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] shadiku:
Could be worth trying the system image from MDJ Froyo HD on this ROM.
[HD2 Android SD Development] buzz killington:
Doesn't work :( I tried it and it stops after the green htc logo screen. I guess somebody will have to code a new initrd if we're to use the new release.

[HD2 Android SD Development] altec1000:
maybe u should:

1. do a clean install while copy your data.img

2. backup your 5800 text messages but dont restore (only for history)

3. clean your 5800 text messages
[HD2 Android SD Development] bjcolema:
I have seen this issue sporadically with more than one Desire HD build. I don't know what causes it. The benefits of Android over WinMo go way beyond messaging though, but it is personal preference. Personally, I don't need to have all my messages saved....not more than a couple days worth. I never go back farther than that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] leaskovski:
Ive just recently upgraded my sd card to at 16gb class 4 kingston jobbie, and have noticed that I am getting random reboots.

Any reason as to why android would shut down and reboot back in to WM?

Cheers
[HD2 Android SD Development] noellenchris:
I also upgraded sd cards to a faster one than the stock and I started having all kinds of trouble. I tried diff formats and cluster sizes too. I finally went back to the slow 16gb class 2 and it was fine.

I'd try to reformat the card using "SD Formatter" with the quick settings. I also use SKTools free version to format and when I reboot, I run scan from sktools in wm.

Well I hope some of this helps.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Easemypain:

ActiveSync Accounts

Hi all,

For some reason I cannot set up live.com ActiveSync "Hotmail & Live" email accounts. It takes me through all the steps and eventually says "Failed to create the account. Please try again later."

I love this build and would be most grateful if someone could help me to fix this problem.

Many thanks in advance

Did you use a clean img, that solved this issue for me

Speed tip for me?

Hi!

Back at this build since i gotten my old reboot problem back when using another Desire ROM.

I am experience a lag that keeps my device just a split seccond when using this ROM. Can someone (or the Author) make some suggestions on how to speed things up, or maybe turn off something to get rid of this lag? The install lag i can live with, but brows-lag when browsing through the device is a bit anoying...

Maybe a 512Mb img file would solve it? (Author) any comment?

And one more question: Is it recommended to reflash your WinMo when changing your Android ROM? I'm asking just because this ROM is the only one that does not reboot itself, but this is the only ROM that i have first reflashed a new WinMo ROM and this ROM was the first Android ROM with it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] parkerpeach:
Great build so far... I hope to see a nand version soon :P

Hi standby drain

Hello,

Any one experiencing 60mA in standby with this build and Hasterin 8.6?

I originally had issues with wifi with this build, but standby drain was low, now I have wifi and standby drain is high no matter the kernel. Tried MDJ 8 and 9.1, Hasterin 8.5.3 and 8.6...drain still high.

Have I missed a trick with this build?

I previously tried MDJ HD 4.6, but after the first reboot, CPU max out no matter what.

At present, the only stable build I have is MDJ Froyostone 2.4, but HTC Desire builds are boring now!

I dont know what is going to happen with this build cos its not been updated for weeks and everyone else is still updating the other builds. Has this one been discontinued?
[HD2 Android SD Development] demasu_2000:
Standby is around 3-5mA on mine.. When i turn on WiFi, it gets up to 60mA, and when i turn on automatic updates i have at least 100mA and up..

Actually i have another question, my phone starts hanging (like when you install something) when i turn on the automatic updates and the circle icon almost never disappears.. is this happening just to me ? is there a solution ?

By the way, im using this build since 2. Dec., made updates that mentioned earlier, put hastarin 8.6 and im not going to use another build :)

Thanks cedesmith
[HD2 Android SD Development] morpheus1982:
For anyone having this issue, I resolved it my using an update from post 4:

- update.initrd-async.gz.07.12.2010.zip (faster IO) OR update.initrd-sync.gz.07.12.2010.zip (safe,classic mount)

The first time I used the "faster IO" zip, but I changed to "safe,classic mount" zip and it worked.

No issues with this build now.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] moh9500:
Thanks for the hardwork Cedesmith

Todays is the first time after a long time of reading posts and features of different cooks i flash my phone with your Cook, I really love it, smooth, and lovely.

I have just one question form friends who post in this thread, What is the name of the widget that show the battery usage in milliampere, the one on the top right corner of the screenshot? I have been looking for it in the market for hours but no luck. i think it does not come with the Rom.

thanks for you replies in advance :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] morpheus1982:
That one is called Current Widget.

Also look for Elixir, does A LOT more.
[HD2 Android SD Development] greg17477:
So now you have a proof how good this build is ;) no need to update anything, at least for me... what would you like to be updated? i am still using this build, no issues or whatever (except the app install lag)..
[HD2 Android SD Development] morpheus1982:
+1

However, isnt this lag due to read / write on the SD card? OS on SD card and storing local data on SD card causing the lag?
[HD2 Android SD Development] altec1000:
Yes, this rom is stable and everything works

Why doesn't someone make it a NAND version?

Not for me because I still use WM6.5.

Morpheus, i have a problem with the Market application, it force-closes itself while it is connecting to the server. the first time i installed the Build it worked like charm but i had to reinstall the build and then the problem started. I am using Chucky Rom ( I am not satidfy with it). is it any related to the ROM?

I also have problem with the Current Widget, it shows error instead of the battery usage.

everything works like charm. I wish we had the NAND version of the Build
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
I just had a pleasant surprise. I just fresh installed this build. It had the old Market, and it was downloading my apps. Then the screen turned off(normal, after 1 minute). When I went back into the market, I had the new one :D. Awesome, I got the new market after 2 minutes of booting while doing nothing.

Little activity in this thread... :(

Why have so few discovered this ROM? It is the best i've tried...
[HD2 Android SD Development] morpheus1982:
Agreed. Everyone is either on MDJ Froyo HD or trying NAND or RAM versions!

I get 4-9mA in standby with this ROM and Hastarin 8.6.

TBH though, I only found out about this build because Hastarin himself changed to it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] altec1000:
If everything works and it is stable then there is no reason to reply.
[HD2 Android SD Development] v6mikey:
Well I have started again with this build and all is good again. I think I may have slightly messed it up by using usb disc drive. Won't use that again!
[HD2 Android SD Development] alphadeeto:
But having this ROM in NAND would be like heaven! I'm not moving to NAND yet because I still want to use this wonderful build!
[HD2 Android SD Development] ToddeSwe:
Yes that was the reason i changed/tried this one to. Wonder why he use this i thought, must be a very god ROM and it realy turned out to be a great ROM.

I have had 3mA a couple of time with Hastarin's 8.6 So i'm a happy camper.

The only thing i want to fix is the greenish photo's when using the auto option.

One guy here told me to search for the problem and what to fix but i can't find one post of the problem when i make a search for it...

Wonder if he ever going to update this ROM? :)

Old build?

I have just stumbled across this thread now. I have been using MDJ 4.6 recently, and have been mostly happy. Though there are some issues such as data dropping, FC of camera app during 'share', and installs/uninstalls bringing the device almost to a complete halt. There is also some lag opening emails, and other things like that.

Does this build perform better in all those areas? I see that it was released on December 1st... There are no updates (other than the few fixes in post 2)? This build is so good in its original form that it just doens't get/need updates?

Thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] daggodt:
Everything in this Rom worked really really smooth for me! No issues for daily use.

Doesn't require an update, but we all tend to want updates:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] ToddeSwe:

[HD2 Android SD Development] prag16:
Won't boot

I downloaded this, and then before booting for the first time I put in the files from cedesmith's updates (replacing some of the original files obviously). I also updated to the Hastarin 8.6 kernel (with included files for root folder).

When trying to boot, I get a black screen with HTC on it for a couple minutes, then the device resets back into Windows Mobile.

This happened both with and without provided data.img in the folder.

Do I need to do a "clean" boot (without using any of cedesmith's updates) first or something???

EDIT: Figured it out, had the wrong folder name in the startup.txt file.

I inserted in my data.img from the MDJ build, and that seemed to work, though many of my settings were gone. Testing it out further now! Thanks!

My installation of this nice ROM has become crazy

Hi!

I used a reboot app from the market and since i used it once my ROM has become crazy. Several apps stops working at boot, some can't be started and some that can be started i have to reconfigure everytime i have made a reboot. :)

I realy can't say if it was the reboot app or when i updated to Hastarin 8.6.

But tomorrow i will make a format of my Sd card and then put everything but the data.img back on again. Pitty! I was to glad i had a working Android ROM.

"Current" weather now showing

Just one problem so far... Sense refuses to show my 'current' weather. Other apps are able to access my current location. The current weather isn't shown in the weather app either. It tried 'updating' but nothing happens. I cleared data (via settings -> apps) for everything weather related, but that didn't help. All location services are enabled. Any ideas?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Neilg:
I sometimes get "current location" weather issues too. Mostly straight after after I have booted into this rom, i can fix it by turning on "aircraft mode" and turning it off again. Seems to solve my data/location issues.
[HD2 Android SD Development] prag16:
Wish it were that simple... but for me it's constant. Flight mode off/on, rebooting, nothing makes a difference. Using MDJ 4.6 this was never an issue. :(

EDIT: Downloaded $1.99 Fancy Widget... can be skinned to look exactly like the HTC widget, and has more customizations/options. This is an acceptable workaround.
[HD2 Android SD Development] wings64:
Install/Uninstall also slows this ROM build to a crawl. Specifically, the download is OK but waiting for the installed notification will lock up the phone. The reverse is true for the uninstall.

Has anyone found a workaround/fix for this?
