Very sad news (again) about DS:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10582511&postcount=348

I fear that this is the end of updates to this, almost perfect build :(

So frustrating that I'm once again left in the dark with one of DS's excellent builds.

Where to go now for some ongoing dedicated work on a single build - soo many builds are beeing abandonded and discontinues by the dev's before they are stable, because of NAND and other interests. Sad, sad :(

Data copied to SD card not detected

Hello Everyone,

I connected my phone to computer and turned on USB storage mode. I copied a few pictures from my computer to the SD card. However, after disconnecting, I am not able to find those files using ASTRO.

I have tried unmounting the SD card and even did reboot from windows. Those files are still visible when I connect in USB mode.

Is there some other way of copying files?

Thanks,

Baiju

I have had no problems with build whatsoever love it! I usually get 3-5ma on standby,background sync enabled, no GPS Bluetooth or wifi.However I did notice a continuous 55-60ma draw on standby after setting alarm clock, ( checked log this morning) seeing how enabling clock it actively displays time at lockscreen, I am guessing this raised my ma.I made no other changes before opening clock app at all, this is the only that has upped my standby ma.

Have not seen a similar post regarding this possible cause, if I missed it,my bad. Will test theory more.

Oh, I am wondering if anyone has a link to speed up data, (market downloads, ie navigation etc.) Am happy with current speeds just looking to see if a lil more zip possible.

Thanks darkstone, this destroys the few SD builds I have tried, and is perfect for my daily needs.

I have Swype also. Works. But you need to get registered with the Swype beta program. They send you an email with the link to download from your phone. Then you have to use the installer to get it working. (At least that's the way I got it.)

Am I the only one with this problem? or is this not even a RAM and/or HD2 specific problem?

I have been using this ROM since day 1 and have not experienced 1 issue so far I use it as my daily ROM and I have been out to remote areas in the North of Western Australia without having any issues. I have taken over a 100 photos and have recorded videos. used the WiFi GPS Navigator, I have around 15 games installed as well. Battery on average lasts me a day(16 hours) but I have a spare battery in case.

Don't think we need an update either. WHY FIX SOMETHING THAT AIN'T BROKE

Keep up the good work Darkstone!!

Hey guys,

It looks like this build from darkstone is the best of the best.And i mean that. Ive been using it for 2 weeks now and everything works out perfectly.The only thing i had to do after installing it,it that i had to start with a new data.img,since the 256mb one wasnt enough for me.Now i have a 2gb datai image and this build works perfectly.So far no problems,less data drops and was able to install aps that couldn't be installed on the last one i used,which was the v3.2 build from august last year.

For darkstone,keep up the good job man. Youre amazing in your work along with the others devs.

bluetooth battery drain

Hi

I have battery drain ~ 60ma when bluetooth is on, other is ok

Regards
[HD2 Android SD Development] xuix:
I've try this build for several days, so now i can do my feedback!

Everything is great !!! But not awesome

- battery drain is not the best i've try (original hastarin 8.6 kernel with new cam drivers have better battery drain in activity)

- why camera use old driver ?! no 16:9 photo :confused: !!

- usb transfert can corrupt sdcard structure (done to me 2 times in 2 weeks but windows chkdsk solve it)

- cannot update market, if i do it, it work but when i reboot, i have some FC force me to kill vending app and have to back to original vending.apk to solve the problème (my vending.apk work in other build)

Except this 3 / 4 minor point, this build is the better/faster i've try, and is now my daily one.

How to apply an update to Superram Darkstone Froyo on HD2

Am running this amazing Android version by Darkstone but have no idea how to apply updates manually I tried holding the volume down after runnng Haret but didnt wirk plz help
[HD2 Android SD Development] maneken25:
What updates you meant?

If you wannna apply data corruption patch, you can do that by overwritting files from windows mobile by using explorer app or you can put sd card in card reader and overwrite files in android folder. Just dont try overwrite through android running and connected into usb.

How to apply updates to Android on hd2

Hi guys sorry if this is is not tge right place to ask this question I am trying to apply updates to Darkstone Superram Froyo running on my hd2 i have put the update.zip file in the root folder and pressed the volume down button after running haret to start android but didnt work any idea how to do this how can i get to the recovery screen to chose to update thanks in advance
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
THIS WORKED!!! The last part is what I meant...disabled-enabled background data sync, rebooted...let the screen turn off for auto-lock then now i'm getting 7mA!

This has been my problem for the past 2 days. I just charged my phone via USB connection to my office PC and now I got 60mA idle batt consumption...I even uninstalled A LOT of stuff just to see if it's a RAM issue (sorry newbie here still) or Cache issue..even changed my task killer, downloaded CPU Tuner, charged twice, rebooted a million times. charged in winmo then removed from charging before booting to android...gosh i've tried a lot...and this one works...

I hope that when the 60mA happens again, the technique above will always solve it.

thanks for the suggestions. Hope it works for others as well.

Please don't slap me for asking this but: do i only have to copy-paste my data.img if i want to try another ROM build? what else is needed?

You can't remove the default messaging app. Instead, go to the default messaging app and turn off notifications for it in settings. Then you will only get Handcent notifications.

alarm clock battery drain

I've also noticed the higher battery drain after setting an alarm clock, even once alarm is turned off. My battery was running at 57-60mA on standby until I made some power management registry tweaks in WinMo suggested here. That worked great for a couple of days: was down to a consistent 6mA on standby, until the alarm thing.

Issues with volume control keys

I have been running this perfect build for 2 weeks... no issue... until yesterday the volume control keys (up and down hard keys on the left side of the HD2) stopped working (when pressed, only beeps but not changing volume, not on the home screen, not during calls, not when in media players). However, if I boot the device back to WM6.5 the keys are working just fine, so it's not hardware issue.

Anyone has come across the same? How do you remap the key back to default? Please help. Thanks!

First you have to partition your sd-card like it is described here

Then put all the builds you want to boot in the resulting fat32 partition with the necessary modifications for sd builds other than superram . see

for superram build copy LeTamas initrd.gz see

and it works for me...

On the first boot it freezed but afterwards it mostly works. the only problem for me is that i can't install Google Maps.

Hello guys,

I would like to bring my experience about this wonderful rom V1.5 SuperRam Darkstone

After several attempts and customizations I arrived to find the optimum configuration, and highly satisfactory for daily use of the build.

My setup is the latest WM stock HTC rom 3.14 and on radio and spl.

1) I started with a format of WM to work on clean, I disabled the sense and put into off-line mode

2) I have replaced the native kernel build with old cam Hastarin 8.5.3 (I have overwritten ROOT, UPDATE and zImage)

This allowed me to be able to charge the battery up to 100% under Android, and now is recognized for its actual value from 1% to 100%, all connections are working (GPS, 3G, bluetooth, wi-fi) - all works well

3) Before the first installation I deleted the programs in the build googlemaps (do not use it and I found that consumes much battery is always between the active processes)

4) after the first boot I disabled "use wireless networks," "uses GPS satellites" and "data in back-ground"

5) Turning off the phone

6) Delete the Data folder as instructed by the first post

7) Restart the phone

Currently with a hard use the battery lasts me a whole day, the build is fast and always responsive, and the standy 'between 3mA and 7mA except in areas where there is little coverage or if there is any LED notification on or for other plausible reasons

I hope to be of help to people like me who loves this build :-)

Ps: forgive me for my English, is the result of a translation of google translator
