I was a fan for WM (Energy ROMs) but now :) I'm using this super light build below.. so no need for stupid WM anymore

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=733649

its a good idea to task29 ur internal memory-install the ROM-flash radio (I got the best result on Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14 )-hard reset then reformat ur SD and finally put the android data..

I got perfect performance and best battery's life 100-120 MA .. wifi on, 3g on ,auto sync on, auto brightness for screen.and its 6-7 MA on standby.

for me its less battery drain than WM with all what u got like widgets and live wallpapers.

and also check this :

I like the build its SUPER FAST have some stability issues but i can live with them.. I prefer u all to backup all android data on ur pc that when u feel u got the build u r happy with so, if something went bad while u trying some Market's applications ! just unplug ur SD to boot on WM (becuz this build has auto android run application) and replace the damaged with the one on ur pc.

u can download current widget from market for the battery drain information, and also its very good idea to download Sleepy Battery (1.1.0) its so useful application can turns everything off when u lock ur device, so no need to turn everything off manually.

this is absolutely THE BEST Android build so far ( i've tried them all ;)) and this convinced me to forget about WM :rolleyes:

Thanks DarkStone1337

I'm just wondering how soon we get FULL ROM.. cuz this would be amazing

[HD2 Android SD Development] luffyp:
You should install the android sdk on C:\ not C:\Program Files\. I had some problem when I installed to C:\Program Files\ (probably because of the space in the folder name). After successfully installed, you can find the adb.exe program in the folder C:\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. You should add the path to this folder to your PATH variable in your pc so you can run the adb command from any folder. For more details you can read http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

when I freshly installed this build, battery in standby was 6-9 mA. but after I installed some apps, now it's 9-60 mA. apn, wifi, bluetooth, gps, everything is off except phone service. anyone else experiences this?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Splintkill:
3G and Wifi connections problems

Hi, thanks for this awesome build! Work like a charm, but wifi search and don't find my box. And I can't connect to Android Market or other. Have you got solutions?

Thanks, and sorry for my bad english :s.
[HD2 Android SD Development] themadproducer:
You mention an app named SLEEP BATTERY. I can't find it? Do you have a link or developer's name etc.?

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] windroidHD:
yes, same here, after couple of days at 6ma it went back to 60ma, uninstalled few apps, rebooted couple of times and now it's back to 6ma.
[HD2 Android SD Development] joogle:
Hi - what app are you guys using to measure 'ma'? It seems you guys are measuring standby 'ma' for battery but how?
[HD2 Android SD Development] simax:
"current widget"... get it via market.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DarkStone1337:
Lets see how many people will ignore this...

To fix high power drain / usage in standby (60mA or 70mA) disable 'Use wireless networks' in Settings>Location menu. You will now get 7mA or less constantly. I discovered this as the main culprit last night. Also works in other builds.
[HD2 Android SD Development] joogle:
I just installed it but i dont see any figues, i just see the bolt, when i click on it i see the options, which are default.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Timoe:

How to fix robot voice ???????????

This build is the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you
[HD2 Android SD Development] robs1971:
finally able to install this build and have to say I now love my HD2.

If you are having problems after install my advise is to reboot a couple of times and this should sort out any problems. The reboot voice fix worked for me after 2 reboots.

Great work

[HD2 Android SD Development] fakepooh:
Hi Mr you should try to read the first page as it clearly tells u possible fix to the robot voice.

Just to comment on the build,its the most owesome builds I've tried so far. Thank you so much lord Darkstone for making this possible :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] MCSCHMIDD:
Hey DS,

also sent you a PM a few minutes ago. This method doesn't work :(

Turned the above mentioned setting off, and ran Google Maps. Then I shutted maps down, waited 5 mins in standby, and there were the 60mA again. Even killing the maps and localization processes didn't do a thing. Only a reboot helped, so now I am back to 5-9mA again.

It actually seems like a method / service / process does not shut down properly. Actually it should not be that hard to identify it, log a "ps" prior running maps, and compare it to a "ps" after running maps. If we can track down the process which eats up the battery with this method, it would be the simplest.

I'd love to help and see your comments / suggestions about this.

Greets,
[HD2 Android SD Development] simax:
oh darkstone... why the hell would your fanbois ignore your post...

btw when i used this android build i had high drainage without anything on in location settings and no apps were causing this issue just saying... it wont help everybody.

edit:

my major points leaving this build were

1. random data corruptions ( i could never be sure it runs the next time i startup)

2. suddenly high drainage (nothing known could fix that)

3. battery getting dangerously deep on volts 2,6-2,8 so it doesnt shut down at 0 percent. it goes suddenly off at around 5%.

phone should shut down at 3,4 or 3,2 minimum. and yes i did various win rom tests and everything... using stock with latest radio in it.

i think battery will be damaged very quick with that handling. oh and yes i had fully charged while off before first startup and yes i also tried "reconditioning" methods

4. everything i said in my post that was deleted by ds or mods. still laughing about it.

5. maybe something else i forgot?

but i dont want to be completely unfair. i was amazed by this build in the beginning and its not bad work. many users like it.

i think the problems i had should give ds a guideline to look more after that, im sure im not the only one who will or could get those issues.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Psygnosis84:
Great build but I don't particularly like the Froyo look. Is there any way we can apply themes to this build? I tried Metamorph but it keeps erroring.

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android SD Development] simax:
i think you can do that with adw launcher, i'm not sure if launcherpro (which is beeing used in this build by default) can do that
[HD2 Android SD Development] windroidHD:
I had this ON whole day today, but my standby usage was 7mA after I removed some app's. Will reinstall the apps and turn this off and see if it's ~5mA after couple of day's use.

I am trying to find best configuration which will last atleast a week where it's standby is ~5mA.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dan138zig:
what does it mean by data corruption? because some of my files disappeared misteriously with this build.

It is a known bug which should be solved in ver. 2.2 FROYO?! found this thread.

lol, they're two different things. darkstone said wireless networks whereas you said gps. two entirely different things.
[HD2 Android SD Development] devislfun:
but with the same/better result! (switch off wireless doesn't have an effect on my phone)
[HD2 Android SD Development] theforceguy:
I have tried around 20 builds and this one is the standout above all of them. I have not had any major issues with it and feel strongly about staying with this build for my day to day use.

Everytime I try a new build I just copy everything(Darkstone Froyo 1.5) that is on the SD card onto my pc - format the sd card - load the new build and if I don't like it just paste the Darkstone build back onto my SD card after formatting it.

A big to darkstone and this build

CyanogenMod

Is it possible to apply CyanogenMod to this marvelous build?

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] justinwateridge:
Coming from a world that started with windows 3.11 I'm familiar with the "if it doesn't work reboot it" technique which I've done several times both proper shutdown and start up through to pulling the battery off but alas the result is always the same. As soon as the device comes up I get the force close error.
[HD2 Android SD Development] windroidHD:
was able to replicate the issue like the link mentioned. if you have GPS On and use any gps app for few mins and close it, even if the satellite icon goes away the sleep is using 60mA (usewireless networks is off).

Toggled GPS off and it's back to 6mA. Confirmed on 2 phones I have.

I just added tasker profile to turn off GPS if it's on for screen off event, that took care of the issue.
[HD2 Android SD Development] KrewsialNL:
Ignored the hell out of this ;)

On another note. A lot of people are completely ignoring the MODERATOR WARNING in the first post of this thread.

If we're not careful enough, Darkstone can actually request once again (and I don't blame him) to close the thread because there's too much BS and utter ignorant questions being asked! THINK and READ (search) before you post something please!
[HD2 Android SD Development] kryzpee:
i also had 50-60mA in standby and as some ppl mentioned on other posts deinstalled some apps like weatherbug which have update options and closed every spare app. after that i got down to 5mA and found out the following:

1. 5mA

2. rebooted --> 5mA

3. activated/deactivated WLAN --> 5mA

4. activated/deactivated mobile data --> 64mA

it stays on 64mA until i reboot

could anyone replicate this?

greets kryz

edit: 'Use wireless networks' & GPS etc. are off (for sure ;-))

Very bizzare this, i took out my T-Mobile SIM card when i arrived in Dublin and put in my Meteor SIM Card, everything, Internet included worked fine, upon going back to UK yesterdayn evening i put my T-Mobile SIM back in, immediately it updated weather and location but when i went to use the Internet on it about an hour later it wont work even though it says mobile data connected, ive tried everything but no joy and im finding it strange it has stopped working all of a sudden (everything else works fine) anyone any ideas otherwise ill have to re-download this build again and format my SD card and go through the whole process again which is time consuming!!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nihonno:
Haven't really seen a post on this issue but...

Has anybody had difficulty waking the phone from standby? There have been quite a few random occasions where, the phone goes into standby, then trying to "wake" it, nothing happens.

To be more accurate, you see the back-light, light up but the screen remains black. This is after quite a few reboots and successfully having everything startup.

I experimented by calling the cell with my office phone. You would see the hard keys light up and even a ringtone/vibrate. The back-light would also light up but the screen would remain black.

The ONLY way I'm able to get the phone back when this happens is to remove and re-seat the battery.

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] sar3vok:
This is the best build that i ever tried but there are two little problems that i can't solve:

-1 with adfree i can't remove the ads, and if it work, in their place there is a square (white most of the times).

-2 i have installed "spare parts", so i can see old programs in compatibility mode (fullscreen). Work most of the times but not always.

WHY?

These are little things that make a build GREAT!!

[HD2 Android SD Development] initzero:
I've been using this since the release and for the most part it has been very stable and working well. Unfortunately I've still had to reboot the phone every other day or so for some reason. Usually its the issue where it won't come out of standby completely. Oddly enough the Market seems to be working fine now. Another issue i have seems to be with the proximity sensor. Unless i hold the phone right up onto my ear the screen will turn on and my chin will start pressing numbers or disconnect my call. I don't have any case or plastic protective film over it. Can the distance be modified in the rom or is that all done in the hardware?
[HD2 Android SD Development] pwhitrow:
is there a quick way to reinstall, or do I have to scrub and loose everything?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jonny68:
i found out what has happened here and it's actually nothing to do with the build, i gave T-Mobile 30 days notice on 17th that i wanted to move from pay monthly to pay as you go but ONLY from Jan 17th 2011 but what they have done in the meantime is move me onto pay as you go without me knowing it until i called 150 and i was told i had 7p credit and that was news to me so i called them up and said they need to put me back on pay monthly until Jan 17th.

So in a nutshell the only way the Internet wouldn't work is because i had no "credit" on my phone :eek::mad:
[HD2 Android SD Development] MCSCHMIDD:
This describes exactly what I think is happening. Once an app is started that makes use of the GPS, the phone never goes back into sleep mode. Only a reboot or a toggling of the GPS (didn't try that yet though) will fix this.

This is a major issue! - Any chance any of the devs can fix this?

Wow, thats a lot of work to be done...

Luckily I just found another build, which I like..(Sorry Darkstone)

And this build didn't have any problems to import my contacts...

Strange thing is though...I'm trying alot of new build, and after I put a contact in manually, then delete my former build to try the next one, this contact that I put in earlier 's still available in my next build...So i'm wondering if, when I ever get back to DS's build, this is now the case with all my contacts...

Either way, thanx for the solution, maybe it will help some others around here.

As stated by other users, there is a work around for those experiencing high battery drain caused by GPS enabling.

Using Tasker:

1. Create New Profile>Event>Display Off

4. Now Create a New Task of your naming choice (I chose GpsOff)

5. Select Misc.>GPS>Set Off

6. Done

7. Create a similar task for Display On and Set GPS on for this profile

Using this I'm seeing the desired ~7mA drain

I have changed the keyboard to HTC CIME and works well. However, with what I did, the gingerbread keyboard will be lost.

3G data not working. Only WiFi

I browsed the thread pretty good and tried searching. I am sorry if my question is not new, but I couldn't find any related posts in this thread.

My 3G T-Mobile data connection is not working at all using this Android. I can connect to WiFi, sync, browse, maps and all. No 3G data connection though.

I am using AthineOS HD2 v21 b23152 Sense 2.5.2018 as the base WinMo ROM and the 3G data as well as WiFi works there.

Is there a setting I need to configure manually to get T-Mobile Data connection?

Thanks! This is really sweet! I have been wanting to try Android on my device. This is the first one I have tried and I really like it.

The default settings that DS included seem to work for my HD2. I did apply a subtle change to get MMS working properly. Try a different WM ROM. I am currently using a recent NRG CHT2.0 ROM with the 2.12.2.50_2 radio...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Vergunst:
First off just wanted to say this is awesome! Very fast and the most stable I have tried! (Don't ban me!)

The first issue I have seen is excessive battery usage in idle. I have read through the read and it appears that the blame is being put on the GPS, not the radio. I have just set up tasker to disable the gps on display off as suggested so we will see how that goes. My question is, does Google Maps automatically re-enable the GPS? Meaning if I have it turn the GPS off everytime the display goes off, will it stay off until Google Maps or some other application that needs the GPS wants it to turn on like in WinMo? Another related question, the "quick gps" found in windows mobile really helped with lock times. Does android have this built in, or is there a good app for this?

I have been running this since it came out, and it has been very stable. I was having sleep of death issues before but this fixed it so far. However, I did just get robovoice thisafternoon. I have made and received 20-30 calls and it was great, no robo voice. Then today minutes after I received a good call, I placed a call and all I got was robo... I rebooted a few times and it did not go away. I finally just made the call from within windows mobile, but it seems strange. I have noted the method of "put on loudspeaker, then end the call immediately" and I will try that next time it happens. Does anyone know the cause? Is this because of the sound device not being initialized correctly on boot? Radio incompatibility? Hardware? When this happened all my notifications went away too. I heard no sound for email/text and the screen taps made no sound. Seems related.

Also one thing I have not seen mentioned is death on USB insertion... It would appear that 1/20 times or something infrequent like that, when I plug my phone in via USB to a port with a data connection where it enumerates (i.e. not the wall jack, but a computer/ps3/car anything that makes it enumerate as a mass storage device), the phone turns black for a second then reboots. I have to unplug it so that the storage card can be detected by the phone and booted back into android when this happens. It did it 3 times in a row last night, but then it was fine. Has anyone ran into this issue before?

Thanks for all the great work and we all really appreciate it.
