Fluctuating batt standby = Location Settings ( GPS ) turn off seems to help it out

I only got this 3 times through out the entire use of this ROM for 4 months (60mA)

You cant touch Market place for any reason as I have been mentioning repeatedly throughout this thread :)

Boonbing, one thing missing from Darkstone's build was working MMS. Does this version have it? I can live without tethering...for now. Thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
you have been thanked BOONBING :)

i shall give it a try immediately!
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
Just tried sending mms to myself but got stuck at sending... status. Sorry mate, I dun think it works. Not sure if it has anything to do with local apn though... keeo me updated if you find a fix anywhere.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
Thanks. Feel free to provide feedback if any.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
i am loading this up side by side against MCCM GB 3.0 and go thru the functionality of the device in comparison :)

GB on HD2 does have a fair share of bugs...

I managed to get Wireless Tether running on MCCM GB 3.0 using an experimental release of the app "Wireless Tether" and selecting a particular setting and device model to emulate

Attached :

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. It messes with WIFI & DATA connections alot. Reboots are common but once you found the sweet spot, it works :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh....new meat to try! Yeah!!! downloading!!!!

edit: fiddling with it. so far so good. changed lcd density to 200

the oxygen launcher makes the build seem slow. changed to Launcher PRO and things became faster and smoother.

I can't seem to uninstall the oxygen launcher though...using Uninstaller for Root yet it cannot uninstall..only available thing to tap is Grant Root which when i tap, nothing happens.

wifi works...market works, downloads are all good.

BUT

i don't see the gingerbread in it...it still feels like Froyo and the GB part was just placed in About Phone part...

no additional settings or anything....
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
Thanks jcsy for the info and indeed now wifi tether works. I have updated on the original post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13223882&postcount=3630)
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
You're right that you won't see any major difference in terms of the aesthetic part. Its mainly the Android OS change from 2.2 to 2.3. The only thing I like about Gingerbread is that now there is a cursor to position your text and makes text selection and copying much easier :). Updated your feedback on the FAQ in the original post to help others decide whether to upgrade.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
what device profile and setup method are you using?

i am using

Google Nexus One

Netd (master)

this one seems to work on GB on HD2

EDIT :

Just saw your post. Exact same settings got it to work flawlessly without HANG/CRASH/DATA DROP

Android 2.3 Gingerbread claims "Improved power management — the system helps ensure best possible performance and maximum battery life."

http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.3-highlights.html

Does your SD implementation show any improvement in battery life compared with Darkstone's original fantastic 2.2 Froyo i.e. what is the drain with bluetooth on?

Thank you for creating this.

Cheers

[HD2 Android SD Development] Szczepanik:
Jcsy - thanks and you are right: I regularly get 5-8Ma until I touch Market place (or bluetooth) and then it goes up to 60Ma until I do a soft reset. I hope GB may solve this but until then what is the best alternative to Marketplace? Amazon or is there another way to check for updates?

Cheers

Tom
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
I am not an expert in GB architecture but I'll try to address your question on GB above:

GB will have good power mgmt if it comes with perfect combi of ROM and kernel (drivers). In HD2 we depend on xda developers to create ROM and kernels since HTC does not release native GB for this and in my build I use ported ROM from Oxygen (HTC Desire) and HD2 kernel made by tytung... so may not achieve best results. Bottomline: As what you mentioned, as long as its better for you in terms of battery from your current one then upgrade.

And addressing your concern on Bluetooth battery drain, I am not receiving enough testers feedback to provide a good response so I can only say that I personally do not see the 60ma issue... I think tytung r9 which I am using already fox this.

Would appreciate your feedback if you try this build so as to make it better until Darkstone return... but looking at the last 2 days reply on this thread, it looks like most have already moved to other build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
sir, wouldn't it be better if you created a new thread out of this? i mean, with respect to DarkStone's thread as well since it kinda deviates from his build...

apart from that, you also get more testers and reports....

the fact the it boots and the basic stuff functions is best enough...and since a lot of HD2 users here are tweakers, you get the reports you want.

let it be known sir!
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
Noted your point on respect for Darkstone... I will refrain from posting new build on this thread in future but its unlikely I'll start a new thread cos I don't think I qualify as a android developer. Most of the stuffs of this build come from the work of others, I merely put them together and share them with you guys. Moreover, I am still hoping for a truely SuperRAM GB from Darkstone.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
Someone has actually done that sir. I don't remember the name. I suggest be clear and honest with the opening page. Give credit to whom it's due etc etc.

Combinations are nice. Just make sure to have been given permissions by both devs. adding your own won't hurt. the essence of this forum is for sharing. Your work can be considered as a foundation for the next builds....

do it, sir! Nothing's gonna be lost anyway...

+1 for new thread for post # 3630:

[26.APR.11] [RAM] SuperRAM Gingerbread | Experimental [Tytung: HD2 Kernel (r9)]

a) This build qualifies you as a developer - we all stand on the shoulders of giants

b) This thread is quiet because darkstone is away and the build works as stated

b) do it, sir! Nothing's gonna be lost anyway ...

P.S. A few recent quotes from DarkStone on other threads:

So it looks like while Darkstone is busy at university, until he gets his sensation, he is unlikely to develop this superRAM as he is using another HD2 Android NAND Development

Hi guys,

You deserve an update :)

I love you all, I really do! The HD2 community has been exciting, every day would bring a new change! The early days were the best :D

I will no longer be developing for the HTC HD2 device.

I personally think that there are roms that are better than my own. However if you wish to use my rom or components of my rom then I am completely happy with that :) Just give me a nod in your thread. I hope someone will continue with my ram concept :)

I am moving to the Samsung Galaxy S2 after much consideration. It's time for me to upgrade to newer hardware.

There's truly no phone like the HD2 that's for sure! You guys have been awsome, this has been a unique experience for me :eek:

I'll still linger around here sometimes, but mostly you'll catch me in IRC. I'm very active there.

Thank you everyone!
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
Noooooooo! :-( one more build like leaving with a bang :-) not that this build has impacted a lot of people. It did a lot. Thank you DS for the wonderful work.

Bluetooth drain issue SOLVED in SuperRAM Gingerbread

[26.APR.11] [RAM] SuperRAM Gingerbread | Experimental [Tytung: HD2 Kernel (r9)] - post # 3630

Chef Boonbing, thank you, This is a good fast and stable ROM and GB is an improvement on Froyo. For me you have solved the BlueTooth drain when connected to my 520 Plantronics. See attached Battery Monitor History.

Standby Battery Drain with 3G, GPS, Bluetooth On, WiFi Off ~15mA

Everything in this build works well for me - with Swype & zMooth I used TeamViewer over WiFi to run my PC, synced contacts over WiFi with MyPhoneExplorer, paired bluetooth with Plantronics 520 headset and Windows 7 PC (transferred attached screenshot via bluetooth). I have had no problems and this is so easy to run from HTC HD2 Windows. 1) Copy Android folder to SD. 2) From Windows Mobile first run \Storage card\Android\CLRCAD.exe and then run \Storage card\Android\CLRCAD.exeHaret. If it does not work first time, reboot to Windows Mobile and run step 2 again. That is it - no video required!

Darkstone wants you to continue with his ram concept - he "Thanked" your posts. (He even thanked mine - how cool is that!) All a chef does is combine ingredients to make something that pleases. Please open this in your own thread!

Cheers

Tom
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
Tom. Thanks a lot for your feedback and encouragement.

Its really sad to hear that Darkstone will be discontinuing SuperRAM build but I am truly grateful for all his work.

I am working on something using a different concept for you guys who prefer SD build... once again inspired by Darkstone SuperRAM. Look out for it soon on a new thread.

New Oxygen 2.1 based on updated GB 2.3.4 from Google has just been released too. Stay tuned for updates.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sommm:
hey guys,

is it possible to run this release under magldr?

and if it is, do i have to change something in startup.txt or anything else?

thanks,

[HD2 Android SD Development] boomboomer:
Boonbing, I have installed your build and am very impressed. Everything seems to work, although GPS needed the qbanin fix and angeldeaths config file before it would lock on my particular phone. Power consumption is similar to darkstones, but without the 60ma bug so far.

Would it be possible to investigate a system that loads an SD rom of the users choice? For instance I've found the AmericanAndroid build to be excellent for power consumption at only 3ma in standby with 3G phone but very slow in comparison to ram, once installed on a large SD card with other winmo files present.

Excellent work and thank you for keeping ram builds alive I look forward to your next release, I think ram is the only way to have a true dual boot system with a good android experience.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boomboomer:
Update on the oxygen RAM build, I occasionally resume from standby to find the screen colours have become negative i.e blacks are white etc. A restart cures this problem but any ideas on the cause Boonbing? It's only happened twice so not a huge problem.

Standby consumption is slightly higher than AmericanAndroid, at 5mA, but I guess this build has an older kernel. Power consumption during heavy use is much better than the original darkstone build, averaging between 150 and 300mA compared to 300 to 500mA before.

Still no 60mA bug and for the first time ever I've been happy to remove the battery monitor widget from the homescreen.
[HD2 Android SD Development] smsshahid:
This happened to me twice with the SuperRAM 1.5 build and a restart fixed it. Couldnt remember when it happened the first time, but the second time was after i had a voice call.

Hello guys, I have a problem booting in to unofficial SuperRam GB. It stops on green HTC logo :( I tried to with formating the SD cards, tried with 2 GB, 4 GB and 16 GB cards, always the same. Tried different radios, almost all of them from 2.08. to 2.15. and nothing helped. Is there something else I missed to do or I'm doomed to use the SuperRAM Froyo until the end of time?!? Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
Did you do any files mod on the /system/lib/? Did you format SD card with the Panasonic SD card formatter or just with normal Windows format?

I guess the last alternative I can offer you is to search for a WM6.5 program cab file call CleanRAM in Google and run this prior to Clrcad.executive and haret.exe. Also try to plug in power source before booting to Android.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
Can you describe your meaning of rooted? Eg. Any program or app that you run which says the phone is not rooted.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
I did not experience this before... suspect it could be phone hardware related cos the parts are manufactured with different tolerance and may exhibit strange behaviour on some phones while not on others (an example is the undervolting script you may see in some rom... or it could be just RAM builds :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
I'm sorry I can't help with this as I'm not familiar with magldr... hope some kind souls here can help.

On the other hand I'm surprise you want to use this ROM cos you have so many other good choices over at the NAND forum with magldr.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
to answer this question, i tried the same thing. I used Root Uninstaller to remove system apps. whatever app i tap on just says "Grant Root"

usually it should give 3 options, Grant root, backup apk and uninstall...but there's only one.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
I'm not sure why Root Uninstaller is not granted root but I know Titanium backup and Root Explorer has no problem... but if you're removing system apps, why not just use a free program like Super Manager to delete it from /system/app/ folder. If you want it backup then just copy and paste it to another location on SD card. Hope this helps.

downloading from market issues

Since recently I cannot download anything from the android market using my 3g (starts but just hangs), but when I get home downloads work fine when I use wifi. Cannot figure out what has changed . Can anyone help please?

[HD2 Android SD Development] kisstom:
Eg. root checker.apk from market, when check it says not properly roted, missing su binary.
[HD2 Android SD Development] zmaku:
Hi boonbing, thanks for your reply. I didn't modify anything, just copied to my SD card. I formated my card with Windows and also with Panasonic tool. Tried with the Clean Ram and plug in power, but always the same result. I'm really puzzled, also a bit frustrated cause I want Ginger but other GB builds can not match the speed of this RAM build. Maybe you should considere the option of making a separate thread with your SuperRAM GB build so more devs can see this and probably help you and all of us who like to use those RAM builds.

Thanks again !

[HD2 Android SD Development] boomboomer:
I had trouble booting the GB build the first couple of times, but realised it was because I had deleted the included image - as I'd set the start up text to create me a 512 size image. Once I gave up and stuck with the 256 supplied image it booted, not sure if this helps you though.
[HD2 Android SD Development] zmaku:
I've tried with included data.img, tried with mine at 512 and 1Gb also, and tried with no data.img cause the startup.exe has the command line to create 512 Gb data.img. Nothing worked. It must be I'm missing something but I can't figure what. I'm going to try again step by step, it really pissing me off now.

Tip: run CleanRAM prior to Clrcad.exe & haret.exe

Boonbing, thank you for this good tip: run CleanRAM prior to Clrcad.exe & haret.exe

Cheers

Tom
[HD2 Android SD Development] Szczepanik:
Possible fix if SuperRam stops on loading

Zmaku Sometimes may help to do a soft reset in Windows first and do not do anything else apart from making sure that BlueTooth, WiFi and Phone are switched off (Airplane mode) then run CleanRAM before you run Clrcad.exe and wait a moment before you then run haret.exe. You may want to create shortcuts to these three programs in a separate folder to make it easier to select them one by one, Or you can use Profile Switch - see my post # 3443

Running GINGERBREAD beta by boonbing under MAGLDR

Has anyone managed to run the new gingerbread SuperRAM by boonbing under MAGLDR? When I tried running it, the screen froze at the first step of the setup wizard. ( I was not able to touch the green robot).

I recall having to replace the initrd.gz file in the original superRAM 1.5 build to make it run under MAGLDR. I guess something similar needs to be done here. Unfortunately, I am not knowledgeable in this subject and can only speculate. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

how is gaming, on this gingerbread ram
[HD2 Android SD Development] boomboomer:
Excellent, I'm using it as my daily build. Power consumption is low, the usual few problems it has are down to the older kernel - gps, usb mode etc.

Booting is a little longer than darkstones but storage usage in the image is much lower so the 256 image is plenty big enough.

Yes it's not as perfect as Americandroid, but it's waaaay faster.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
i wonder how American Android is perfect, it fixes things everyday, releases downloads everyday and i see in the thread that there are problems with it from bluetooth to data, to tether to gps and force closes and all kinds of weird stuff

there is no perfect build, living with a HD2 is all about try & error
[HD2 Android SD Development] zmaku:
This is for the UnofficialSuperRamGB :

Well, I finally managed to install this ROM with the included data.img of 256 Mb. I did all those steps you guys (THANKS :) ) have mentioned(formating SD, CleanRam in WinMo...). So for some days of use this is my first impression : FANTASTIC!!! My HD2 was never faster, stable and with longer battery life! The speed is phenomenal, everything works faster, the browser, the menus(ooh menus are so fast and opening apps is immediate), GPS is locking satelites allmost immediately I run the iGO. I know some people like benchmarks so I got, on the 2nd run of Quadrant, 2100 on 1,2 GHz. Current widget shows 5-9 mAh in standby with wifi,gps, background sync allways on, but mostly is 5mAh.

So I have no doubt about this, from now it will be my daily ROM. But there is a big BUT! I tried to make it go with bigger data.img with no luck so far. Tried with 512 Mb and 1Gb that I've downloaded from xda somewhere, tried with my own data.img I've made with Data image maker but the only one that worked is the included one of 256 Mb which is for me extremly small. Ewen when I move all apps to the SD card I 've left with around 70 Mb free and that's waaay to little for my use. So now I'm begging @boombing and anyone else who managed to instal this with the larger data.img to please post that data file here for download, because I want only this build for my HD2. Thanks again, I love my HD2 :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
@zmaku. I have attached a 512MB version on the original post (refer to my sig for link), see if it works for you. Do note that I did not test with a larger data.img other than the original 256MB one so I'm not sure if there will be any problem. I am following as closely as possible to Darkstone SuperRAM Froyo which also has a 256MB version attached only... although I'm not sure if there is any specific reason for him not including something bigger.

In XDA community, there is no need to beg.... ask and it shall be given as long as its within my capacity :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
Hello BoonBing

Does it have the equal amount of fragileness like SUPERRAM1.5 which are like :

USB Storage

Clear Data on Market/Gmail

GPS long fix

Occasional 60ma drain when Locations is turned on

Reboot/Power Off data corruption

Previously on SUPERRAM1.5 , i straight loaded a 1GB data.img and it worked fine, in both my HD2's, where 1 was MAGLDR and 1 was HARET/CLRAD. Shouldnt be an issue too. I noticed your 256MB data.img

I have yet the time to fully play with it however initial speed on Usage Timelines show very little spikes to 100% and battery drain is better since the ROM doesnt pull and drain CPU like mad during : manage applications, whats app, laucnher boot up, and installing apps..
[HD2 Android SD Development] chuckymob:
Right, I can say this is the best HD2 build I have tried. I run it daily. Haven't used windows for 6months. I finally resolved my GPS issue by doing nothing. LOL. I downloaded the build again, and followed all the instructions to the letter and BAMMMM. I even upgraded to 512MB data file, I found 1GB too much to run and definitely a bit slower.

GPS works, Data works, Market, Battery life is super; 5ma standby consistently, I can now get a full day of use without worrying. Plus thanks to bluetooth car radio, I can be listening to mp3 and getting turn by turn navigation at the same time, take a call and music pauses and resumes effortlessly. Simply put EVERYTHING WORKS.

The only issue I have is complicated to say the least. Sometimes, I'll be listening to internet radio via the tune-in radio app, while in my car via bluetooth audio (told u its complicated), and yes it beats xm or regular radio and its free. If I turn off the car, sometimes (emphasize sometimes) the abrupt cut off, seems to also kick my data connection. I figured an easy way to fix it without rebooting was to goto settings and toggle Data Enabled option. No biggie.

Why does everything work now. Don't know. The only thing I noticed was that when I re-downloaded the ROM again 2 months ago, the folder contents was considerably more than the previous one 6 months ago, the most I could work out was that my previous download 6 months back was incomplete or something.

Right now, I cannot fault this build, my HD2 phone can go toe-to-toe with most of the phones out there, plus I have no bloatware/crapware forced on me. Eventually I would go dual core but I really can't see myself switching hardwares yet.

Finally a message for Darkstone ex-HD2 savior

Darkstone, you gave me a new phone for free, allowed me to fully experience android on a phone without flashing my phone or buying a new phone. For that we are all grateful. If Samsung doesn't treat you right, know that the HD2 will always be here.
