Kernel Update for beta 1.2

My phone battery drops to 94% over night after 6 hours of standby. I have not activated bluetooth or Wifi yet. That's kind of WinMobile usage average.

Do I still update my kernel?
[HD2 Android SD Development] blacksea-hai:
6 hours of standby= 6% battery that good
[HD2 Android SD Development] ketzazu:
Unable to play iTunes purchased AAC audio file

How do I get the music player to play iTunes aac audio file? I always get an error of file not supported when i attempt to play these audio files.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ketzazu:
I would say that's excellent. I'll compared the drop with bluetooth and wifi on tonight.
[HD2 Android SD Development] KrewsialNL:
That's like Mark Zuckerburg asking if he can afford to spend 1 million dollars on a charity case.

That's a very good draw you have my friend! Updating a kernel is a choice ;) I had the same low draw before, though i did upgrade my kernel. Just to be safe :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] DavidX_07:
It is not.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ketzazu:
how?

is he using a card with only this build installed on it to get those high scores?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jambo585:
data connection ain't working for me, Vodafone NL btw...
[HD2 Android SD Development] ketzazu:
Are you using a card with only this build installed on it to get those high scores?
[HD2 Android SD Development] seloz:
Think is isnt working for all dutch people with vodafone that is.. anyone got a idea why that is? Same issue with mdj ram release
[HD2 Android SD Development] mouki_9:
also vodafone NL here, and data connection works just fine on 1.6.2

Did you do a reboot after the first initial boot?

I didn't have to do anything else, works out of the box for me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] chrisjasper:
No, its probably down to luck, the Quadrant scores dont really mean an awful lot.

Its like saying you're Ferrari is faster than your Maserati.

If you're build is fast and smooth and works for you, great.

If not, hearing someone brag about fast quadrant scores on the same build will just p*** you off.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mstrk242:
With both versions, I seem to have the same re-occuring problem. I installed a few apps on the first version, rebooted, and got process.acore and google.framework crashing, unable to fix it. End up having to do a re-install

On the newer version, I've installed the kernel update you posted, same thing, after reboot I have the problem.

It could have nothing to do with it all, and just the reboots themselves are causing this. (If you're using cedesmith's initrd, it seems to be prone to data corruption at times, and this might be the same behavior.) I really haven't done enough testing yet to pin it down exactly, doing a re-install now. I'll report back when I can figure out what's causing this issue. (which is always fixed by starting with new data.img.)

*edit*

Aah, I've already pinned it down. It seems that the issue is caused by poweramp. It'll work fine for a few boots, then after, oh, about 5-6 reboots, process.acore and google.framework crashes. Remove poweramp, and issue is fixed immediately. (with build 295 and 296) Anyone else having this issue, or is it just me? (If it is just me, perhaps it's one of my settings, and I'll play around with it.)
[HD2 Android SD Development] seloz:
1.6.2 elaborate plz :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] williamsean:
Still the same: NO DATA FOR VODAFONE NL...

Could somebody please provide the solution how the androidcooks solved this in all other builds??? This problem must have been solved so many times before...

Also mr. Darkstone; If you need somebody to test some settings out for you, contact me...

Now back to the phiremod_SkinnyEvo_v2.1 build...
[HD2 Android SD Development] seloz:
Just did a reboot after the initial boot.. and now vodafone data is working.. weird :)

*edit* connection is gone again :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] williamsean:
That's what i wanted to ask.... :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] jambo585:
Have rebooted quite often yes, still no data..

Maybe it has something to do with the WM build?

and what do u mean with 1.6.2?
[HD2 Android SD Development] mouki_9:
Downloaded 1.6.2 ultimate from first post. Extract it on laptop. Edit startup.txt, my line looks like this: set cmdline "rel_path=Android data_size=1024 lcd_density=240 gps_zone=nl"

Put folder android on root of sd card. First time i boot into windows mobile. Without inputting simlock code. goto folder android and press CLRCAD and then haret.

Let it boot completely and complete the tutorial. After that do a reboot. For me it works directly. Data connection quite stable, haven't really noticed any drops.

hmmmm crap, my bad, had 5 xda windows open and posted in wrong thread!

SORRY! :P
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nekropolis:
I accidentally updated the camera and now the application does not run, delete, update does not help. Give pliz file from the SuperRAM FroYo v1.2 Beta.

Sorry my bed English
[HD2 Android SD Development] seloz:
Weird.. When i reboot and then open the browser .. google.com will open normally.. but then the connection is gone.

Vodafone NL
[HD2 Android SD Development] seloz:
Lol.. totally different build :P
[HD2 Android SD Development] simax:
on second boot everything instantly crashes,.. gapps, acore. cant do anything.

[HD2 Android SD Development] kahiro:
did u any chance used market enabler?? i noticed that this rom actually change not just the region in market but also the network as well ... well at least for me anyway. when i used market enabler to fake t-mo us it also changed my apn to that hence i can't connect to data... the only way i found to make it work again is reset it to my region

not sure if you're experiencing the same prob
[HD2 Android SD Development] Q2V:
To change or update LaucherPro:

You must rename your Launcher to com.fede.launcher-1.apk then put it in /root/system/app/.

I cannot copy/replace com.fede.launcher-1.apk, not enough space message, pls help
[HD2 Android SD Development] Ambious:
I made an RTL patch.

Here it is: framework.jar

To install, place in your SD card in the build's directory, under root/system/framework/ (create if needed).

(darkstone and all others, feel free to use anywhere)
[HD2 Android SD Development] wannafly:
It seems that even with the latest kernel update(apply it on 1.2beta), sometimes the battery comsumption remains 60ma when the phone is in sleep
[HD2 Android SD Development] zweetz32:
false alarm did not copy over new kernal :-(
[HD2 Android SD Development] g10rg0z:
well there is a problem for me... updating the new kernel caused a problem with my wifi... it gives error all the time! my data connection works though...
[HD2 Android SD Development] kahiro:
what i did was put the file on the sdcard /android/root/system/app and it worked. the only thing is this is not persistent so u have to leave it in that folder otherwise it will revert back to the standard one after reboot

Bug : L2TP /IPSEC PSK VPN Settings

Hi,

Not going to mention what's already been said but fantastic :)

I can now connect via VPN from within android and it routes traffic correctly through my mobile provider which I have not been able to do with any other build.

However I can only get PPTP to work.

There seems to be an issue when creating a profile for L2TP/IPSEC PSK VPN where you configure the settings but when you hit connect to VPN it comes back with the following message :

"One or more secrets are missing in this VPN configuration. Do you want to check your secret setting?"

Suggest this might be due to it not writing the settings on save to the configuration file?

Regards,

Ross
[HD2 Android SD Development] kahiro:
all is well here with new kernel .. just toggle on/off a few times and it switch between wifi and data seamlessly
[HD2 Android SD Development] kahiro:
exchange

anyone managed to get exchange with security policy to work?
[HD2 Android SD Development] HD2Tony:
I've got Wifi error now after update too.

Cannot toggle on/off as it just says 'error' under WiFi.

anyone any other suggestions ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] zweetz32:
yeah mistake on my part. i forgot to copy over the new kernel
[HD2 Android SD Development] dddrko:
does anybody succed to connect with skype?
[HD2 Android SD Development] chrisjasper:
Pop over to the Ginger_hd2 thread, there is a zip file on the first post that provides a modified mail.apk, works fine on this build once installed.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Juno-First:
My previous report of current widget giving false readings maybe wrong.

With v1:

Without GPS lib fix battery drain was very good but with lib added its a lot worse.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Stephen:
Has anyone been able to get the evo keyboard with the arrow keys working on this build. I would like to change the keyboard if I can. I put the apk file into the root app folder but it hasn't done anthing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nismo300zx:
I think it doesn't work on non sense builds..not completely sure tho...

I was also wondering if its possible to get the messaging app with the black background?
[HD2 Android SD Development] g10rg0z:
any luck to getting wifi working with the new kernel update?:o
[HD2 Android SD Development] KrewsialNL:
Maybe good to know

Adding a folder called "androidapps" in the sdcard/android folder, before booting Android is not a good idea (that's a lot of 'androids' in one sentence).

Half of the software will not start and give force close errors.

Might be me being just a tard ;) I thought it might be useful for some people to know :o

After copying the apk files in a separate folder (thus, not using a 'androidapps' folder) and install them manually in Android, works like a charm.

:)

I also see no need for SetCPU, as i have a constant 4-5mA drain when in standby and not going over 300mA when using the phone :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Q2V:
I was doing same but it's stay at blank screen at boot. Maybe file size is 2.2Mb is too big for the RAM?
[HD2 Android SD Development] simax:
still poor scores in quadrant... 1500 max
[HD2 Android SD Development] KrewsialNL:
EDIT: Did you also copy the zImage from the kernel into your android folder? Or did you only copy the folders from the archive?

Yep, it works here.

Though i can't connect to anything on the internet, as I am at work at the moment.

But i can turn on the Wifi and connect to the router without any issues.
[HD2 Android SD Development] KrewsialNL:
Quadrant¿

Please, explain me why Quadrant is so important.

Don't you see and feel this build is rediculously fast?
[HD2 Android SD Development] markfostersbeer:
Gingerbread ram please

[HD2 Android SD Development] KrewsialNL:
Go buy the Nexus S if you want it...
[HD2 Android SD Development] urquidezj:
^^Seriosly?^^
[HD2 Android SD Development] simax:
well,... isnt quadrant score representive for speed in apps/games?

don't get me wrong, it's really fast in os, but i was just wondering it didnt have 2000+ scores, that was what i expected.

some android builds which dont feel as smooth and fast as this one, get higher scores, how can this be? are those os trickin' quadrant? or is it just high-ass overclocking on cpu stress? :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] KrewsialNL:
it's mentioned in a lot of topics that Quadrant isn't accurate at all.

For the sake of trying i just ran 3 sessions.

1. 1589

2. 2177

3. 1932

Not really accurate.

If you want to play games on your device, the only real way to test a build, is to test that game.

Next to that, Darkstone already mentioned to stop mentioning quadrant scores in this topic. It's only fair towards the dev, then not to mention it.

Just my two cents...
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
Honestly? Launcher Pro is garbage imo. I tried it before and don't like it at all. ADW is better imo and people have to try to work around this now. I think people just wanted the build left clean.

I'm not telling you what you should and shouldn't do, as this is your build. But I would've left it clean. It's really easy to add stuff to this build, it's removing stuff that's hard.

And thanks for the kernel update. :cool:

P.S. Screw quad scores. This build is faster. Before adding a widget with a launcher would have a few hesitations, this goes to them instantly.
[HD2 Android SD Development] chrisjasper:
A recent tweet from Cyanogen included the following comment: ““Don’t rely on this stuff as your guide to how fast your phone is. There are a lot of other factors”. In a subsequent tweet, Cyanogen explains that he was able to ‘cheat’ the benchmark by mounting, “a [temporary file system] over quadrant’s data directory”, which may artificially increase the benchmark results, making them unreliable and unrealistic. Many of the “lag fixes” for the Samsung Galaxy-S (Vibrant and Captivate included) are based on a similar concept, which mounts a “virtual” EXT partition on top of Samsung’s proprietary RFS file system,which buffers the data and gives the increase in data access speeds.
[HD2 Android SD Development] KrewsialNL:
yep

I was looking for that damn tweet ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] simax:
ah ok i see, thanks :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] DarkStone1337:
Fair enough, if you don't like Launcher Pro that's fine. But, you didn't explain WHY you don't like it :p You only called it garbage, that's not helpful. :p

PS. Thanks to everyone defending my stance on quadrant scores! :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
Not only are the audible selections only working sometimes. So are the notification sounds.

Nobody else huh?

Miri rom and radio 2.15.
[HD2 Android SD Development] KrewsialNL:
I have no issues here, though i am using a Stock HTC ROM.

Doubt that would actually be the issue here..
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
Sorry. I don't like the icons it has (I know I can change them but still). I also don't like it's options, I like adw's options more. And I like a hidden dock more than a scrolling one. :)

Also, did you see my post about droidx keyboard problem? Any suggestions on how I can make it work? It worked on the last build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] fmps:
Error wi-fi

I have installed this build bur my wi-fi dosent work :( Why?

Thanks

Everything is working now :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Stan3k:
I for one am glad you included LauncherPro. Also, regarding quadrant scores; I never bother checking them - I prefer running the build myself and seeing how it handles the stuff I do on a day-to-day basis.
[HD2 Android SD Development] chrisjasper:
Read back over the last couple of pages please
[HD2 Android SD Development] vista1984:

anyone else has problems with usb data transfering ?

I tried to transfer a folder with files , 3 different times....i only find files at the LOST.FOUND folder after they transfer.

Any ideas ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
K guys. I got the DroidX keyboard working for this. If anybody else wants to use it or try it, here you go. It really is a awesome keyboard.

Now if I can just get the audible selection sounds working, it would be awesome.

[HD2 Android SD Development] MartyLK:
Search "Gingerbread launcher" in the Market and you will get a nice stock-like launcher with all the goodness of FroYo and the new Gingerbread in one. It will use the stock app drawer too.
[HD2 Android SD Development] g10rg0z:
I only copied the 2 folders... not the zImage... should I copy that one too? :o
[HD2 Android SD Development] tkato:
LOVE THE SPEED, but man does it drain my battery or what! getting about 100ma drain while on standby, lowest I got to was 72ma drain... but i've been using it for about 30 minutes, some one can tip me about battery solutions for this build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] RiffyDivine:
What is that app some builds come with that block out the ads called?
[HD2 Android SD Development] bobmarsh72:
Darkstone, Whats your views on adding PSFreedom to the Kernel in this build?

I have asked Hastarin to see if he implement it in his kernels, but its not something he uses, and has other things to investigate, so a no go.

The Kernel it is based on currently is Hastarin 7.7, but unfortunetly a lot of builds including this one will not boot.

I currently have 2 builds on the go, urs and your old Froyo V3 just to jailbreak my ps3, but this does mean a lot of rebooting depending on what im doing.

Currently HackMimic is making a very useful App, to try and find a way around having several builds on your memory card.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=872345

But I believe if the kernel could be updated, we could use just the one build.

And lastly thanks for all your work, including the original kernel you compiled for psfreedom!
[HD2 Android SD Development] heal123:
OMG!!

New Darkstone build is 32sec on boot !!! (i'm using basic SD card)

Thx..
[HD2 Android SD Development] pack21:
I came here in morning and saw a lot of people talking about a of issues, wifi, data, etc....

at launch i install this baby, and been use it all afternoon.

I don't see any issue for my usual usage, all works well.

Wifi

mobile data

smoothness

good battery drainage

where are the issues?

Great job, Darkstone, don't stop your objective, this build on 100% high score.

Thanks Sir.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mstrk242:
I'm curious. On your V1 build I was able to use UOT kitchen and customize the framework-res.apk. On this version however, it doesn't seem to work. (I've tried using the old customized one I made for V1, and creating a new one based on V1.2's framework, no go on both.)

Anything changed in this version that might be causing this? (It's not really that big of a deal, just wanted to see if you had any ideas. I can easily live without it.)
[HD2 Android SD Development] MartyLK:
This method does not work. The files installed this way on THIS build do not install.
[HD2 Android SD Development] youngstacks74:
For some reason I can't send or receive mms.... using simple mobile.... apn settings already provided
[HD2 Android SD Development] g0t0:
Mine is 40sec, but a whole lot better than the Darkstone build I was using. While I still have some issues with the mobile data (Simple Mobile and its only when its trying to switch after im out of wifi range) I'm going stay with v1 for a couple more versions longer since Im still using stock ROM and Radio (connection issues w/comp). While the camera issue is still there. camera 360 doesnt have this problem.

BTW Darkstone, it was ONLY because of your builds that I bought an HD2. Thanks for being the brain!
[HD2 Android SD Development] sathara:
can some body tell me a name of software which can find battery drain...

i am impressed with your build darkstone. i thinking of making roms. Any body can start helping.
[HD2 Android SD Development] qzmufu:
Is it just me or is it not possible to open secure connecitons (https) over mobile broadband?

... furthermore I'm still having the keyboard language issue. It's not listed yet so I'm wondering if darkstone reads these post?

Sometimes button press notification sounds dont work.

Using what looks like same ROM as developer.

How do you install the kernal patch, its just a load of text on that link?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Freak-Inside:
To all Vodafone NL users who can't get data connetion to work: does it not work at all or just the browser?

I got the problem under V1 that i couldn't get a connection with the browser (Webikit and Dolphin HD) but all other apps that requiered data connection (Twitter, Facebook, Tapatalk,...) worked. Then I installed Opera Mobile, then surprise surprise, it worked.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
It's a bug. I also reported this.

You can download the kernel update and copy the files over the the Android folder. That should be all that's needed. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] DarkStone1337:
For notification sounds, did you guys make sure to copy the MEDIA folder to the ROOT of your sd card? This is essential!

All sounds work for me :S

Also the kernel is already based on hastarin 8.6 eb_oldcam.

And yes, I am reading everyones posts, I won't reply to posts that ask questions that already have answers. I will not encourage lazyness :P

Yes I know of the issues with the rom for some people.

BTW, the files in the ROOT folder aren't applied permenantly. If you end up putting a dodgy file in there and the build has issues, just delete the file from your SD card and reboot. Simple!
[HD2 Android SD Development] pack21:
Oh, I Didn't notice the last kernel is on it.... lol

Shame for us dutch vodafone users and weird it happends to vodafone nl only.

I also tried to modify build.prop with some extra things i have in my other android build but no go. Hope Darkstone can help us with this, because this build is awesome.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
Yea, the media folder is on the root.

All sounds work except audible selection cuts out. It only works like 30% of the time.

Hi, can you tell me which build data works on for you?

Also, I put build.prop in the wrong location on the SD card, move the build.prop file from /root/build.prop TO /root/system/build.prop.

Try checking if this works!

Also, if you can get DNS IP addresses then I can try and get something to work for vodaphone dutch users :)

And if you can obtain a logcat log if possible, this would be benificial :D
