Good day!

My sd card got corrupted earlier =( no backups were made. And i'm re-doing things all over.

So i formatted my SD card and did a fresh install of this ROM. Now, during the setup wizard, I'm having a problem signing in to google. wifi is fine. I even tried another ROM just to test the wifi. but it doesn't seem to connect.

So I skipped it first, Imported my contacts, rebooted and still nothing...what to do?

And I also observed that it doesn't sync when I plug the phone to the PC..when I copy files, i have to reboot to get the sd card refreshed...anything i did wrong?

HSPL - 2.10

RADIO - 2.15

hope someone could help. I'm pretty new to this. And I'm learning everything one by one...
[HD2 Android SD Development] maicrosoft:
Thanks for the heads up, but I'm a fraid it doesnt work (I tried it).

To clearify some things, the troublemaking provider (Vodafone NL) uses its own DNS server with their own range op IP adresses. I want to be as clear as possible on how our service provider works.

If you are connected on the Vodafone NL network, you will be assigned with an IP (which is allways different) that only exists within Vodafone NL. You can see our provider as a router connected to the internet, and all the devices connected to "the router" get an ip via DHCP (at least, I think). Also you cannot ping to our devices or use any "services" (lets say like VNC or web server) on our provider.

I hope I have been clear enhough and someone can use this information to come to a fix.

This build is really awesome! The only thing is well, yeah the data connection :p

(Oh and believe me, I've tried everything to get it working but nothing works, check apn settings, copy build.prop file from another build with working data, followed other faq's etc etc it just doesnt work)

How do you apply this patch
[HD2 Android SD Development] windroidHD:
Just wanted to share my experience, coming from iPhone world, got HD2 couple of days and was researching what ROM to use before I decided to keep it stock and follow DarkStone's first post in this thread and guess what people? "Everything" is working for me right now.

After spending whole day trying out different configurations to get the current usage down, I managed to get it to ~6amp consistently for standby.

3G On, GPS Off, Mobile Data Off, Auto Sync Off, Auto Brightness, Tasker with hourly task to turn on Mobile Data and Auto Sync On for 3 minutes.

People please read for god sake. If you don't have time to read and understand how this works then maybe you shouldn't even be messing with your phone in the first place!:).

DarkStone,

one advice, I think you should try to support/reply only to people who have setup similar to you, this will cut number of issues that depend on ROM's which you are not making for personally, unless ofcourse that's how you want it.

Thanks for great work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jonsson4000:
first time installing this rom...do i just replace the initrd that came with the build with the new initrd?
[HD2 Android SD Development] windroidHD:
Confirmed, DNS change doesn't fix the issue. 3G after WiFi still doesn't work.

Update 1:

It might not be DNS issue because the 3G/HSPA/Edge icons themselves don't show up in the status bar, DNS server should only come into picture after connection is established with network and phone tries to convert domain name to IP through DNS query.

for now I am using Hot Reboot to fix the issue. takes about 6 to 10 seconds for reboot.

Wow, it works now after second Hot Reboot. The only thing I could think of is if WiFi is OFF when android boots up and if you use 3g data for few minutes then switching between 3G data to WiFi and WiFi to 3G are working great!!!. check my update 2.

hopefully this the behavior will not change after some reboot's/standby's.

Update 2

: I was wrong, DNS server changes does seem to fix the issue, but it took couple of reboot's (not sure how that works). Will update this post if it stops working again. Works irrespective of WiFi enabled at boot or not.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Beretta93:
Well, I just do not seem to get my wifi work with this build. It is too bad since I love it but I just can't rely on 3G all the time. I hope there will be a fix for the next build because this SuperRAM is such a hot build.

I switched to Dandiest's Desire Z rom in the meantime and wifi works properly. It means that it's really related to Darkstone's build.

Here is the end of my experience with SuperRAM. :(

[HD2 Android SD Development] singcheng:
Do I need to rename the file inside the initrdsync.gz to newinitrd as well?
[HD2 Android SD Development] craig540:
Thanks darkstone for this great rom. everything works fine for me, the only problem I had was forced closes on a few programs and then the camera forced closed so I reinstalled and all was good again. I thought about going to another build but could not imagine not having speed of this build.

Thanks again.

[HD2 Android SD Development] SilverViper2k:
Ok for the dutch vodafone users:

It is not a DNS problem...

Browsing to an IP address directly doesn't work either and that doesn't require a DNS lookup...

Just tested this myself 1 sec a go...
[HD2 Android SD Development] initzero:
thanks Darkstone, I pretty much had given up running android on my HD2 cuz I just couldn't take the lag... now for the first time I feel I have a real Android phone! my only problems have been what deckoff experienced with marketplace and what craig540 said. ( I also have issues running the tmobile apps but I know that not a rom issue). Hope you all have a happy new year.
[HD2 Android SD Development] windroidHD:
did you reboot after changing DNS servers?. may be twice?.
[HD2 Android SD Development] SilverViper2k:
You can browse directly to a website without using a DNS server by typing the IP address in to the browser. If you type 18.62.0.96 in your browsers' address bar it will load the MIT website. By doing that you don't need/use any DNS server to get that page... But that page doesn't load in Android either... And if DNS was the only problem it would load. So the problem is before that...

Did some more testing and found that in the *#*4636#*#* screens that interface ppp0 has an IP address of 255.255.255.255... Which obviously isn't right... It does however explain that the sending arrow is working but the recieving one does not....

If someone just could make an UbuntuRAM version I could help testing stuff.. (A)
[HD2 Android SD Development] windroidHD:
I understand that IP address part, the reason I was suggesting the reboot was because from my personal testing lot of issues seem to get resolved after reboots for HD2 droid ROM's, i have no idea why, but it works.
[HD2 Android SD Development] __McB__:
Sorry for the off-topic question. What is the name of the power control widget in this build? It is my favorite and was wondering if it was a market app or available somewhere else to put on my MT4G. Thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] MCSCHMIDD:
Thx again for this awesome build darkstone, this one is really working lovely. Are you planning on fixing the setCPU issue?

This is the first and only build to constantly run on 5-8mA in Standby, battery only drained 10% in over 12hrs standby.

I would really love to see this build being continued and extended. Hence the other build being dropped, there now is NO more doubt that this is the superior RAM build. ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] pablo71:
I need a little clarification

The preferred method to fix data drop is now (1) use the initrdsync patch in OP or (2) change the dns in build.prop or (3) both? Is this 'data corruption' Darkstone mentions the 'data drop' and 'data drop after wifi' I keep seeing mentioned?

Awesome build and the patch looks great and I will apply it. Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
Hello I just started using this build today and I had two questions:

1.) Is there any way to replace the market with the newest one?

2.) When I use some applications that require root they say that it has been granted root but it won't work. Ie. Clocksync. Is there a fix for this or what?

This post was brought to you in part by my HD2 by use of the XDApp
[HD2 Android SD Development] pablo71:
Instructions to apply initrdsync patch in OP

You should not do these steps when running Android.

1.) navigate to the "storage card" folder on your phone and look for the folder named "android," or pop your storage card into the pc, or connect to a pc using the usb cable and choose 'data disk' or 'data drive,' (whatever the name of the thing that IS NOT activesync is)

2.) look in the "Android folder" for that file called newinitrd.gz and rename it to something like "newinitrd.gz_OldVersion

3.) copy the patch file you downloaded into this "android" folder -- that file named "initrdsync.gz"

4.) rename this file to "newinitrd.gz" -- this way it replaces the OldVersion.

5.) boot into SuperRam and then reboot a couple times for good measure, just because it fixes things magically.

NOTE: you do not have to rename that initrdsync file that you see inside the patch

can anybody say a value of the battery consumption, when bluetooth is switched on?
[HD2 Android SD Development] simax:
ok im bloody sick of this problem so please somebody help me :D

it seems to me like this build is working the battery of the hd2 like a desire battery.

the phone never shuts down at 1% it simply goes black at 5-6% with a dangerous amount of V - around 2,7V!

afaik the phone should be shutting down at around 3,2 minimum.

no battery "conditioning" could fix that, no batterystats wiping could help (i think its senseless anyway since the phone never shutts down, it just goes automatically off because of dangerous V amount.)

imo battery percentages are very unreliable at this moment, first it drains fast then slow then fast ...

is there any way to REALLY calibrate the battery with this build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] boldman78:
just to be sure. did u change the settings at the file located in SDcard\android\root\system and then made restart? if u change the file on system directory it wont work.

hope it helps
[HD2 Android SD Development] pawandeep:
I am having issue with battery life. It hardly goes for 5-6 hours wheres WM goes for 30-35 hours with 1 exchange and 4 other email accounts. I don't know if this issue is only with me. but due to this issue my phone is almost not usable and I have to switch back to WM.

but I can say one thing this build is blazing fast and if we can fix voice call quality , crash and battery issue then I am sure no one will move back to WM.

Thanks

60+mA. All newer builds suffer from the same problem. See my signature for details.
[HD2 Android SD Development] theforceguy:
I have been using this Build since it was introduced and I have very good battery life. As low as 5-6mA on standby and after using the phone normally for almost 19 hours I still had 50% battery power left. This is the same if not better battery life as when I had a standard WM Rom

Also WiFi was connected all this time but without Bluetooth

I am using Advanced Task Manager widget

See image below for battery usage:

a little off topic but i hope not too far. How do i get winmo to stop asking me if im sure i want to run clrcad and haret?
[HD2 Android SD Development] deoneR:
That is exactly what i got on my austrian provider.

It's a virtual provider called "bob" and using NAT (router) for providing internet access. I got no individual public ip on my sim - i get it from a local DHCP. It's not working on any RAM Build out there, just showing the 3G icon (non RAM is just fine). I read through the forums and tried serveral fixes (different DNS in build.prop, double checked APN,...) but i can't get it to work.

Strange thing is that there is a workaround to get MDJ's Gingerbread RC4 to a non RAM version and if i do that mobile data is working again!
[HD2 Android SD Development] raven_raven:
I just have to run it few times, WinMo remembers my choice after few times and does not question my choice anymore ;].

OMG, ppl, please stop spamming and asking questions that were answered milion times. I mean, HD2 subforum is so freakin' messed up! I came here from G1 section few days ago and managed to run Android without one post here, everything that you have to know was already said... Please, do not make this forum a garbage. It's XDA, a community that help those who can help themselves, think about it, please.
[HD2 Android SD Development] roman89:
Hy I'm on Bob too, here in Austria. I've the same Problems. I tried the same like you, but with HD2ONE. As long as I'm running it from SD 3G works. If i set the parameter to run it in RAM 3G is not working any more. Only showing the Icon with sending packets, but not receiving.

I found a way to re-activate DATA without rebooting...When your at your home screen, press and hold on the back button. The interface should refresh and data should be turned on. This works for me when switching between data and wifi. Hope it helps ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Diagrax:
In my opinion DarkStone is one scary awesome Guy, startup into android is almost instant. I've had no problems except for the data reconnecting after being turned off or switching to wifi and back but I found a little fix to that (hold the back button at the home screen). MMS works fine for me, no robot voice. SetCPU is not needed in the build which is a plus. Hmmm....lets see what else I can pull out of the hat, well DS that's all for now and can anyone else can confirm the data fix, thank you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] stony007_de:
Check you WIFI Standby policy!!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] stony007_de:
in my opinion, the drain problem is only the bluetooth firmware!

if bluetooth is disabled the drain is ok!!

where is the different between the RAM and the STOCK?

in stock, there is a 5-7mA drain with enabled BT !!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] theciscokid:
I liked it to, but cannot find it available as a download on the market. I think it is this though (it looks a bit different to how I remember it, but the screen timeout description looks correct):

New Power Control Widget

As for the ROM, now this thread is back open, I will report that the reason I had to switch back. Once installed, my phone will not accepted inbound connections from the wireless network. I run File Explorer, which has a small http/ ftp server app built in, to which I can connect to the phone. It will also not respond to a ping from the router or a connected PC.

This functionality works fine on a standard (non-RAM + sense) build... I just have to manually remove sense afterwards, which does seem to speed things up a little (sadly not as much as this RAM build though) :-P.

If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful of any advice... I started looking for access-lists/ ip filters, but to no avail.

ACHTUNG!!!

Using this (or new Market at all with this build) will cause Market to force close.

If you installed it and suffer this problem remove vending.apk from Android\root\system\app and replace your system.ext2 in Android\ with the original one from this build.

Hi all !

I was experiencing no data issue with that build (and a bunch of several others, btw, but with the original darkstone and evoSkinny it did work), i format my card, i re-flash with stock rom my phone, and it was... well... much easier :

(sorry i don't know for sure how it's called in english)

Paramètres / Réseaux Sans fils / Réseaux mobiles / Noms des points d'accès

And then you choose the right operator (Orange internet in my case instead of Virgin), and it's done !

Wow look at the battery test results from 2 HD2's..

1st HD2

71% at 2:00AM WiFi On, Cell Data Off, Auto Sync Off, Tasker to turn on auto sync every hour. At 8:30AM 64% battery left. 7% Loss.

2nd HD2

81% at 2:25AM WiFi On, Cell Data On, Auto Sync On. At 8:30 75%. 6% Loss.

Current widget removed from both. Seems like just leaving the auto sync and cell data on is not affecting the battery much, Android seems to be managing it very efficiently.

USE IT ON YOU OWN RISK PLEASE.

use the file attached.

it will make black bar and battery precentages.

reboot.

enjoy.

I also had the 60mA+ issues, until I changed to Stock ROM 3.14xxxxx and Radio 2.10.50.28_2 (suggested by hastarian) and using EBL with 3 second delay.

Since then, no more problems at all. You should try these settings. My phone is now running for 28 hours and still 39% left on the battery.
