Is this part important :

"- After your first boot, make sure to delete the DATA folder on your SD card. It is stored under Android/root/data.

- If you plan to reinstall the build again, make sure to copy back this folder from the ZIP file."

What does it change and is it possible to delete this folder only after the 4th reboot ?

My "Phone" and "Home" keys always don't work and i don't know what i'm doing wrong :/
[HD2 Android SD Development] HD2kty.:
Thanks will try it with a radio change.

I dont think the ROM is the problem since bat life was great with an other android build from MDJ.

Battery drain is back :(

Unfortunately, after applying the chain patch, a problem came up.

After running for more then 3 hours without any issues on 3 to 6 mA, i know have a drainage of 60mA when in standby :(

After all the testing and trying, I really have no idea where to look for this option to be solved. I hope somebody else knows something that might be of use?

All in all, good, stable build. I just hoped i had the perfect build for a few hours ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] bizzkitt2k:
Your welcome. Have to agree about the ROM. I have tried several...but..kept Miri since it is stripped down/simplistic. In the past I did however experience the "robot voice" when using this ROM and Radio....but...Have no issues what so ever with making calls with this Android build. Good luck!

[HD2 Android SD Development] bizzkitt2k:
Just fixed this issue about Facebook and Contacts. Some pics showed up, but not all. Go to those contacts that do not display a picture and do this:

- Go to Contacts

- Select Contact with missing picture

- Click: Menu

- Select: Edit Contact

- Menu

- Click: Join

Now navigate to the facebook contact of the local contact on your phone. Be sure to be setup with Facebook sync.

Discovered one more problem: G Sensor is not proper calibrated. Can be seen if you use bubble app or Crazy Snowboarding or NFS Shift game. It's nearly impossible to play these games, cause sensor has a left tick.

Calibration with device facing down in Android would help but there is no such option. Calibration in WinMo doesn't help.

Darkstone, will you release a new version that fixes these small but many issues reported by the users in order to have a completely functional build? For me this would have a higher priority than a gingerbread version.
[HD2 Android SD Development] smaiitm:
I am quoting from darkstone's 1.2 beta build of a few days back

---------------------------------

Installation: Copy the ROOT and UPDATE folder to the folder where the build is stored on your SD card. Overwrite any existing files.

Kernel patch: http://pastebin.com/6qjkb4Hh

Kernel source: http://www.gitorious.com/~hastarin/linux-on-wince-htc/hastarins-linux_on_wince_htc

---------------------------------

Hope this helps.

Excellent work as per usual but there is a small problem I can't solve. While there is a UI language option for Greek (El) there is no option for the keyboard input, the opposite is usually more common. Is there a fix for this?
[HD2 Android SD Development] KrewsialNL:
Hot reboot is not possible to my knowledge, but ill try the 'couple' of reboots and see how that goes with background sync off too.

Thanks for your feedback!
[HD2 Android SD Development] guntcent:
download the hot reboot app

A folder on SD Card called TitaniumBackup. Do your backup -> Copy that folder to your pc before formatting -> Copy the new Android folder & TitaniumBackup back to the SD card -> Flash -> Restore.

This is a very helpful detailed post for titanium backup & restore operations.

Hope this helps.

My battery drain suddenly crept up2 aprox 300mah & I could not find a reason as the CPU time was low, even after a reset. The battery was hot & it drained a full battery in 4hrs.

When charged back up I got a text from my network provider that I only had 41mb left this month. I checked it the day before & it was 131mb.

Hey-Presto... figured out the high battery drain, but I could not figure out what was using the data connection, so I copied over a backup v1.5 which was freshly installed & running sweet, so problem gone now.

I hope theres not going to be a v1.6, seriously, honestly!!!!

Maybe SuperRAM v1.0 Gingerbread...

I think DS the magician could do it.

LOL, thats V1 In a .7z archive. So it looks like 1.7 if you aren't reading it properly.

You're going backwards with that, friend :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] smaiitm:
That was v1. The .7z is a compression format. And you are not the first to have made that conclusion!
[HD2 Android SD Development] lemonspeakers:
When is v2 coming out?
[HD2 Android SD Development] k8108:
there is also a zImage included. does that need to be copied over as well?

(sorry to be a pest, just don't want to mess up this build - I have spent hours tweaking and getting it all set up just right)
[HD2 Android SD Development] smaiitm:
@k8108

I did that for the v1.2 beta and it worked.
[HD2 Android SD Development] camit34:
This ROM and my set up seems to be working really good for me.

This ROM is very stable and everything works fine...GPS, Data, Camera, Camcorder, Calls...yada yada yada...

I am running Radio 2.14.50.04 and the ChunkyROM for WINMO.

This combo seems to give me good battery life too - about a full day with moderate use (some GPS, some WiFi, a few calls...yada yada yada...)

The only 2 things I ran to where - I had to set the APN and an issue with the battery not wanting to charge to 100% when in Andoid. Searched and found the APN settings and I followed a suggestion in this thread about booting into WINMO, letting it charge to 100%, boot bcak into Android and all has been good for me since with the battery.
[HD2 Android SD Development] thisguyeh:
Agreed. With my setup + this rom I finally have the android I want. Everything that I need works. The battery life is GREAT ! Data is very stable . Using 2.15 radio.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mrachni:
I`m only asking is the latest Kernel already included in this 1.5 version?

I didnt think to updated it again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] camit34:
I loaded the straight 1.5 with out upgrading anything and get great battery life - only between 6 to 9mA on standby.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikelt89:

[HD2 Android SD Development] jonny68:
I know i previously stated i always go for sense but curiosity got the better of me so i downloaded this and what can i say except wow it is by far and away faster than anything ive ever had on my HD2, im still playing around with it so will report back.
[HD2 Android SD Development] k8108:
this is for anyone out there who is wondering - I copied all three files, Root, Update and the zImage from the kernel update and pasted them in my Android folder. (http://www.multiupload.com/2G8LKSNZF6)

All is working great. Hope it helps with the battery drain. I have never had good numbers with my battery, but haven't been brave enough to change the ROM from T-mo's stock rom. Maybe that will be my next adventure.

switchin between screens

Hi!

please sorry, I'm a newbie in using Android.

I installed darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5 on my HD2 and it works fine and surprisingly smooth.

Now I tried to start different Programs on different screens (because there are 5 on default) and switch between them via swiping over the touch screen or zooming out (two fingers… multitouch..?).

I failed to do so.

So my question: Do I act dumb, or does it really not work?

I'm running a Tmo HTC HD2 Stock rom 3.14.407.2. & darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5

Radio is 2.15.50.14
[HD2 Android SD Development] camit34:
Might be worth trying a new set up - change out your WINMO ROM and Radio...I had to try atleast 3 or 4 dif WINMO ROMs and 2 or 3 Radios to get a good setup...

HELP PLEASE!!!! ?

When i receive/make a call my screen goes black witch i gues is normal ( like in winmo) in order to save battery, but when i remove the device from my ear the screen is supposed to wake up but it doesn't. This doesn't give me the option to end the call with the soft end button but only with the hard power button. But when i do this the call ends but the phone remains dead for 1-2 minutes. That happens with every android rom i ve installed. I ve tryied everything. I've installed several winmo roms. ( now i ve got the newest stock) Nothing!!!! Can anybody help me please?

3G & Wifi Switching Issue

Regarding loss of 3G when switching between Wifi and back to 3G - I now have a fully working ROM, but have no idea as to what caused it !!! I was convinced it related to upgrading the Radio from 2.14 to 2.15, but I guess not. I was then convinced it was due to removing the standard APN's which were installed on the original Android ROM, but again, this didnt seem to be the issue.

I basically started again from scratch, ie took another SD card and copied the original Android files and have spent the last 30mins testing by switching back and forth between wifi and 3G and it works fine !!! So I can only assume its down to the installation of a specific application or a config change that a number of users are making to their devices which is causing the issue.

One thing which I forgot to mention was on my original Android build, I deleted the DNS entries from the build.prop file, but this time I have left them as standard. Again not sure if this is the fix, but happy for others to share their experiences...

I know we arent suppose to use the forum to say thanks, but having used 6 different Android ROMS on my HD2, I can say by some distance that this ROM is not only the fastest, but the most stable and is the closest Ive come to a ROM which is genuinely useable on a day to day basis... My thanks are extended to darkstone, Merry Xmas, and a Happy New Year ! Bring on GingerBread SuperRAM !!!

Can we, the people who cant fully enjoy this Android please get some help!?

ps cant find anything about DNS or smthing..

First of all, great build.

When I first loaded this build, I had the OZdroid rom with the cleandroid bootloader and radio 2.12.50, and had battery drain, GPS, and camera issues. Now I run the windows rom 3.14 and radio 2.15 with no bootloader and have no issues at all... I'll report back once I get exceller running, but for now, it's just about perfect. Hope this helps someone out there.

install aLogcat from the market. let it runs and make a call (and if you experience this again, wait until your phone is "wake", go to aLogcat to SAVE your log file and upload it here for darkstone to debug~).

include your winmo version and radio version too :D

I got a screen freeze and SOD and was forced to pull the battery.

After that I'm getting many forced close-errors of process acore. Fix_permissions didn't help.

Build seems to have problems with data corruption.

Going back to froyostone 3.1. Although even this has corruption problems. I think it is necessary, that the devs look at these problems. Otherwise it is difficult to use Android instead of WinMo. It's a pity that such elementary problems are still not solved.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaSurfer:
Alright.. was half asleep and put the i9000 on my t959. Used odin, re-part'd, the whole nine yards.

Obviously, i can not root it using the update.zip method. When in recovery down is up, up is down, and power button does NOT select. So i can not apply it. I am quickly learning everything i need to work on this. However, I need some pointers, maybe hints on where to proceed to get this back to at least a semblance of "working". I tried to flash back to a standard rom, and i get constant recovery-boot screen. Odin back to the i9000 and at least the phone boots fully.

I need to get this back to at least a semi-original rom so I can root and apply the correct t959 build to the phone. Sooo... help a newb out. I have spent the last day and a half downloading trying various options, going in all directions, and getting nowhere. I have attempted to apply via Odin, and borked things up pretty good, but not so much I can not recover, just need some directions. I have just rebuilt my laptop to a standard XP Pro with all updates, and patches. Updated Java JDK, the Android SDK, and Kiess. I can attach and see the phone using ADB without issue. As best I can tell, i have a "clean" kitchen setup to do what I need.

Please help a new get his feet wet without drowning this time!

Thanks guys.

I tried the gingerbread keyboard in darkstones superram build, and man I hated it! How do you guys deal with not have the arrow keys? Especially with copy and pasting, editting, etc...its a pain without the arrow keys.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] PaulSlide:
You don't need arrow keys with the HD builds because you get the zoom and select features when you press and hold on the text area.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Deathevn:
But when you mistype and you want to correct a single letter, then tipping with a finger can be difficult... thus i love the arrow buttons!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] nokn956120:
I am just guessing here but I dont think you have actually tried to pin point where you want the cursor on one of the Desire HD builds. All you have to do is put your finger on the text and it magnifies it for improved accuracy, similar to the iphone really but it works a treat. Saying that though, this improvement over positioning the cursor may have something to do with why it isnt compatible with the Desire HD builds yet. I'm not a programmer but I should imagine it would just be a case of modifying the script to get this to work.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] ahennin4:
I have not messed with the new Gingerbread keyboard yet, but does the zoom or curser location feature packaged with the keyboard or is that some other sort of small application?

I use Smart Keyboard so i switch between the HTC keyboard and the iPhone keyboard.

(I find Black or darker keyboards harder to type outside, compared to lighter or white keyboards)

A friend emailed me the Gingerbread keyboard and I'm not exactly where to install it?

/SD/Android applications?
