Confirming this now, running CurrentWidget for 15mins.

Results: ~18mA

Conditions: WIFI on, in standby, 3G, Exchange on Push, all the bells and whistles turned on.

Could be I'm running an older radio or Exchange draining a bit more. Ideas?

@ Darkstone the Boss

thanks for this great build but i havent noticed any fresh updates or work on this build anymore from your side, seems u r more interested in gingerbread ram edition :).......waiting for this blast........

kindly update this info on front page, if battery drain is a problem do patch the rom after first installation with hastarin tool chain update

:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] eestisiin:
thanks, and you guys got me wrong, im not missing sense, just the dialer is useless and it was no way a offense to darkstone or to anyother rom builder, its just the way android looks...

Anyways off to download new dialers :)

Thanks..

Edit: And just for information, the build is superb and I wouldnt trade it for any other build :)

Edit2: Oddly enough I cant find touchpal smart dialer but I took the one dialer, looks OK so far... Anyways, one more question since I can see you know your apps - what email app has a widget function, I like my emails where I can see them.. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] milkoo:
The bootloader in winmo doesnt detect android but when i plug the phone to the computer i can see the folder on the computer. I dont know what is wrong?
[HD2 Android SD Development] venezuela:
OOOOmGG

YOU ARE THE BEST... ****

to much speed baby... ohhh yeahhh...

thank u so much.... Mr. Darkstone
[HD2 Android SD Development] KrewsialNL:
What bootloader are you using?

Shouldn't there be some sort of configuration file that you can edit to assign the folder manually?

Had it once, what you're having with Exceller, all I did was starting Android manually without the loader, and after Android was booted, i restarted the phone, where the bootloader automatically picked up the Android folder.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kostikos:
i found a solution how to enable visual notifications for messaging-email. You have to enable the 5 docks from launcher prefs and add sortcuts for email and messages with launcher pro icons and then you will have visual notifications for all new emails and messages.

ps: stil nobody found a solution how we can avoid black screen during phone and late wake up of the device? this is very big prob for me

[HD2 Android SD Development] ballu84:
Is this much battery usage normal?
[HD2 Android SD Development] d3l1:
up to 500mA is normal if you use your phone (play game, video, ...) but in standby it should be < 10mA
[HD2 Android SD Development] spawny25:
random crashes

The build is very fast but this one does crash more often than any other build i have ever tried. It crashes randomly , sometimes when i am trying to retrieve my email or sometimes when i download an app. Anyone got an idea?

I am using an official ROM from HTC, is that maybe the problem? Or does that not matter anymore once you run android from ram?
[HD2 Android SD Development] demijnzia:
Does anyone know how to add Chinese input in this build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kackburt:
Unable to find this folder :(

Anyone made battery percentage mod yet?
[HD2 Android SD Development] d3l1:
if you can't even find the folder, you really should not mess with system files because you obviously don't know what you're doing. Not to be offensive, it's for your own good!
[HD2 Android SD Development] kackburt:
Haha, thanks for your caution, but it's simply not there...
[HD2 Android SD Development] d3l1:
it's not on your sdcard, it's your system folder (inside the system.ext2 file). you need a file explorer with root. then you go to the root directory and there you find the folder "system". all that from within the phone, not from your computer.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kackburt:
Thanks, that's all I wanted to know. Got the explorer, got the tutorial!

cheers,
[HD2 Android SD Development] nonpaq:
I hope you are not trying to boot Android while the phone is connected to the computer.

If you are seeing the folder on your computer then that's why any "bootloader" on the HD2 doesnt detect android. When you connect the phone via USB to the computer in WinMo, and select drive mode for file transfer (seeing folders on PC), the SD Card is no longer accessible by the phone. All the Android files are on the SD card, therefore the phone wont see them.

Try it without the phone connected to the PC.

Plus, can you can always just go to the Android folder in file manager in winmo, run CLRCAD, then run HARET.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikelt89:
I have hard time to express what I saw but I can descride it in one word: WOW!

This build is absouluty amazing (I had hd2one before it and it took ages to load it every time) loads super fast , even thought I had robot voice at start it now gone after second reboot. Thank you sir for all the affort you put on it, your work is amazing!

P.S: can we get some more wallpapers to the background? there apperently none except two..or did I missed them?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ZekeWolf:
HD2ONE now uses Darkstone's fix for load time, so it is as fast.

Still, SuperRAM is totally loaded into RAM and feels faster :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
buttom remap

im remapping my buttons, but every time i reboot it resets to defaults, does this have to with the build being ram? or any other ideas?
[HD2 Android SD Development] SMS92:
I'd like to stress again that people should be encouraged to do a 'fresh' install to their SD card, i.e. get everything off it, format and copy JUST the /Android/ and /Media/ folders DarkStone has included to their SD cards, then their WM stuff and, photos and media.

I have had absolutely no 'random crashes' so far today and I've installed plenty of apps and put the phone under a lot of stress.

It's hard to know how to diagnose a problem if files from a previous build or a fragmentated SD card could be to blame, so let's not waste the chefs time and all work with a nice clean SD card and go from there.

Can anyone confirm this problem?

Connect to WiFi > Disconnect from WiFi > Attempt to browse/use your mobile's data connection. For me I'm forced to reboot in order to get the 3g/GPRS data connection active again. I see the signal bars at the top but no 3G/H/G/E icons to the left either. Reboot to WM>Android fixes this.

About to try and battery patch as I'm getting about 60mA in standby which can't be good!

Big respect again for this great progression for Droid on the HD2!
[HD2 Android SD Development] kammy1975:
Im having the same issue with Wifi and 3G! It only seemed to happen once I moved to Radio 2.15.50.4, prior to which I was using 2.14 without issue, but you have an older radio so would be surprised if this was the cause... Interestingly I am using the same Energy Windows ROM as yourself and wonder if this could be related ?

Darkstone - Can you help !!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikelt89:
Same results here, between 50-60mA on standby..I got 9mA with wifi on at first boot thought.. kinda wierd.

BTW What's battery patch?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Frank1924:
"For me I'm forced to reboot in order to get the 3g/GPRS data connection active again"...

Im having the same issue with Wifi and 3G too!
[HD2 Android SD Development] SMS92:
This thing here: http://rapidshare.com/#!download|332l33|437337964|kernelupdate_superram.zip|2938

Not entirely sure of the details but just copied the two folders over my existing build and I'm still only getting a minimum of 58mA (exactly when in standby according to Battery Widget)

Am I required to rebuild the data.img or similar (someone mentioned doing this a few pages ago but said it likely wasn't the cause of their <10mA standby life)??

Edit: and... Looks like we can confirm the "disconnecting from WiFi causes loss of mobile data connection" issue :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] leogeeko:
I´m confirming the same thing. Wifi to 3g is buggy. GPS works just fine.

The build is a Porsche. Fast, very fast.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nihonno:
I've already asked this earlier in the thread but it probably got lost in the valley of posts here. haha.

I'll make it quick.

If I updated from 1.2 to say 1.5 or beyond, what is lost? Do I lose the apps I've downloaded? certain settings, Google account information, etc. What changes?

By the way, just to add to everyones feedback. I have had absolutely no problems what so ever. There was once when I woke up with no data connection forcing me to restart but that went away after trying the "blank APN" fix. The phone is bleeding fast and stable.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dr.cox:
selective data connection

hi there,

i seem to experience a strange problem. when using this android build my german mobile provider appears to be connected. i can make and receive calls. when using the built in browser data connection is really fast and works fine. sync with google works, too.

HOWEVER, no other application using the data connection works!! no android market, etc. I've read the last 30 pages of the thread and haven't found anything similar.

any ideas?
[HD2 Android SD Development] SMS92:
Get yourself Titanium Backup from the market mate. It'll back up not only everything you use (logs, contacts, yada yada) but all of your applications, the data they've created and everything else too.

Then you can go ahead and switch builds like a madman when these 'RAM'Droids start dropping and not lose a thing!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nihonno:
The world is now a better place because of you. Thanks,

I'll now try the 1.5 build. Kinda scared though. I've had NO problems with 1.2 except for the camera settings issue and the no tethering. Kind of stuck in a "if it aignt broke don't fix it" deal. But I'll be compelled to make the jump if and when Darkstone comes out with a Gingerbread RAM he/she likes enough to release.
[HD2 Android SD Development] joykiller:
battery

How can you tell the battery usage. I seen soom of you posted how many amps are being used is there a app for that?
[HD2 Android SD Development] garymr2:
I am sure this post somewhere in this thread many times.....'Current Widget', you can download it from the market.

Downloading now.

Can't wait to see how it's working.

I'm usually downloading sense, maybe it's time for a switch ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] eenyaw:
I started using this build a couple of days ago. Running on stock rom, no tweaks prior to this apart from upgrading to win mo 6.5. Had no problems at all except for force close on facebook app but only upon exiting the app! only issue I have come across is reduced battery life. Lasts about 5 hours from full charge. Is there anything I can do to improve?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kostikos:
just a very very sily question. Where the back up of titanium is stored? I mean when i m going to format and try the another build, from where i will restore the back up? Is it restored on the web or something?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kzs:
253mAh is this too much ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Ramdroid:
Yes it is !

It should be less then 10mAh in standby !

---------

Great work darkstone, i really like the speed of the rom itself but the internetspeed is REALLY slow ... like in the market or with the build-in browser (compared to my other android builds)
[HD2 Android SD Development] VeEuzUKY:
It never works :(

Ths is the best and fastest ROM Ive tried but sound never works for me. I tried endless different radios (now running Radio 2.12.50.02_2) and different setups but everytime eventually, all the audio stops completely or when I make a call it gets all permanently muted till I reboot. This only with this ROM... have no idea where the problem is... :(:(:(

HELP

Hi, when i install the clrcad an installation pop up appears on my phone, i installed it an then clicked the haret, black screen with green Htc logo appears, then a black screen an the phone reboots to the stick together screen. It runs the sd card android but not this one. Can you tell me what might be happening?

Rom 2.10.531.o

radio 2.08.50.08_8

the same thing happened with the latest 3.14 rom.

Forec close?

I've searched the thread, but can't seem to find a solutio9n for my problem.

At first, everything was just superb for the first few days but since yesterday, I get a million force close messages and can't even load into homescreen at all...

Help?
[HD2 Android SD Development] luvsql:
Hi folks,

2 days so far and no major problem. 1st time I was getting robotic voice while receiving or making calls but I reboot 2 times and problem was solved, I wonder why.

It is battery hungry though. I unplugged charger yesterday at 8am morning. Worked as usual, called my wife couple of times and text a bit. When I made it home at 5pm, it was around 50% battery; I leaved it in sleep mode for a while. Took it again at 7:30 or something. At 8pm and after playing a bit with Facebook and ring tones it went down to critical battery level. Not big deal though and it could be the widgets.

Something still does not work for me is sending pictures via SMS. The default SMS program keeps uploading the picture and never send it, I am assuming because the size? So then I downloaded and tried handcent which supposes to use image compression, but still no lock. I cannot attach or send pictures via SMS.

darkstone: good job! I certainly donate and help your work!
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
anybody???
[HD2 Android SD Development] KrewsialNL:
To just quote myself ;)

The above does change after applying the Superram patch that was intended for the 1.2 release of this Android build.

The main 'drain' for the battery now is the screen, launcherpro and tweetdeck.

This looks more familiar to me when i compare it to other android builds. Drain in standby is a whopping 3mA without Data and 5mA with data (or wifi).
[HD2 Android SD Development] Babylonian:
I´m using an older build from darkstone, but got the same problem. Everything's been working flawlessy for months until today. Now I get a zillion of "force close" messages :confused: Anyone? Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
System reset on reboot prolem

I have noticed that when you make system edits (system/), after a reboot, they are back to default.

this is a big problem because: makes gps slow because gps.conf cant be changed from Europe to America (or whatever location).

.buttons cant be remapped, they are rested to default when phone is rebooted.

and may other system edits that may need to be made.

i hope you see this (darkstone) and look into it.

thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] wardh:
I just tried Gingerbread (SD version) and it's super smooth! Now I can't wait to try it from RAM. Your SuperRAM FroYo is just awesome. It works as stated in the first post, it's too bad some of you are having problems with it because you are really missing out on something ;) I can't go back to SD versions now, need RAM :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] HD2kty.:
Used it today for 11 hours (100% Batter at 6:00 AM)

And I had 27% when I came home. It was in flight mode for 3 hours and I used it to play piano for maybe like 20 minutes all together.

Im using it without the patch.

Will test it with the patch in some days
[HD2 Android SD Development] alcapone342:
Try to read the first post from Darkstone:

"- If you wish to make changes to the build, use the file structure in Android/root/ on your SD card to put your modified files in. They will be copied upon boot. Do not worry if they are not deleted, this is normal."

The system partition is loaded from the SDcard into RAM at each boot so you need to make the changes on the SDcard.

The changed done in the RAM are not saved back on the SD when you turn off the phone.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
not every sytem file is present in android/root/system.

so do i copy my edited system file to the system folder on the sd card?

EDIT:

i was correct...worked :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] alcapone342:
Yeah, create the folders tree that you need and put your files in it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
just blessed you with a "thank you"

it worked, much appreciated!
[HD2 Android SD Development] OCedHrt:
So where do I find this patch because I have the same problem =D I don't see it in OP. Is it the kernel update?
[HD2 Android SD Development] alcapone342:
Yes it is.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mrachni:
This v1.5 already has latest Kernel,i`m a right?

No need for manual update Kernel`s?
[HD2 Android SD Development] simax:
yes no need to update. i guess it wouldn't be a good idea either since this kernel is modified (based on hastarin 8.6)

It's the 6th or 7th time i m asking this.

My screen during calls , drops dead and i have to press hard button to end the call. Then i wait 1-2 minutes for the phone to wake up. Does anybody experiance the same prob? Is there any tip? It's very crusial for me please.
[HD2 Android SD Development] haag777:
if uve already placed this massega 6 or 7 times i dont think any one else expirienced it.

i think u should reinstall everything or smthing...
[HD2 Android SD Development] alcapone342:
It's strange but applying (again?) the kernel update fix the battery high drain in standby, 60mA --> 6mA
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikelt89:
Where did you get the kernel update? I got this problem too.
[HD2 Android SD Development] HD2kty.:
Made the kernel update patch and I still have 60mA :(

What could I try next ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kostikos:
the thing is that it works like winmo ( black screen when the phone rich my ear) in order to save battery, but then it doesn't wake up to give the option to end the call with a soft button. Is there any option to deactivate this option?
[HD2 Android SD Development] haag777:
ah i already know it now...

go to winmo and go to settings->all settings->system->energie->"lights" (dont know english right word) -> and turn off all of those settings. So nothing automatic or anything...

hope that helped.
[HD2 Android SD Development] BadBoy3:
I am using this build daily and all I can say is mmmmhhhhh the best, ehm! infact perfect for daily basis. The only problem is that everything works and it'soo fast but is not a complaint but compliment. Darkstone, U ROCK.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bigmixxx:
Great ROM, Crazy stuff happened

Day two of this release and I loaded a that application protector stuff. The release went ape****. Then I started to get problems with the lock Sleep of Death. Tried a couple of things but ultimately ended up switching from the class 2 SD card that came with the phone (16gig) to a class 6 sd (8gb) card.

I don't know if this makes a difference or not, but I in windows mobile disabled the SD card power management and increased the g-sensor settings from 0 to 200 milliseconds and some other setting that was dealing with rotation to from 200 to 1000 milliseconds... I wanna see if that makes a difference...

i would love to get it working

plz help me

or tell me if it was already asked i nthis thread
[HD2 Android SD Development] hmcjr1978:
as much as i love this build the only thing that i would love would be louder speaker sound........when i watch movies on this build i literally have to put my ear next to the phone or connect external speakers.....with MDJ FroYo HD v.4.6the loud speaker is very loud great for movies....only a wish:rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] kostikos:
i tryed it. nothing. thanks anyway.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bizzkitt2k:
You might have to reformat (FAT32) the microSD, put the Android folder back onto root, then reinstall through WINMO.

Want to give darkstone a big THANKS...For making such an awesome Android build. I am almost halfway through the workday...and still have over half a battery...and that is with constant syncing...as well...as checking email, facebook, etc......

Finally my HTC HD2 is being put to some good use...Thanks Again!

Hey everyone !

So first, i would like to thank Darkstone for his amazing Build, it's really faaast and stock Android is not such a pain in fact (i always prefere Sense but that's another topic xD)

But, i have one problem... a borring issu. When i play with this build for the first minutes, all is fine, after i reboot, and now, my two left physic key stoped to work :/

I've already reboot, shutdown etc etc, but it doesn't change anything ...

Does someone know what to do ?

Someone already had and solved this problem ?

(I read the last 15 pages and i didn't found any information about that :s)

I don't know if this issue is due to the android system, but as of last night I can't charge my phone via usb/wall charger. I have an external charger and the batteries will charge there, thank goodness. But out of my 3 batteries, all OEM, none will charge in my phone.

Any suggestions?
