From OP:

- 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.

I guess that means copying /system/etc/gps.conf to android/boot/system/etc/gps.conf and do the editing here.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sblar:
Did you upgrade newinitrd.gz as described?
[HD2 Android SD Development] sblar:
Yes you should definitely upgrade your radio first. Take a look here:

Help!

Everything was working well for about 3 weeks. Then I've begun getting the robot voice.

I've tried the speaker phone/hang up procedure but I'm not always able to press the Speaker button before it crashes. Then I get "Sorry, Activity Phone is not Responding" or "Sorry, Process com.android.phone is not responding" and have to force close. If I do press the Speaker button, nothing happens, except the phone freezes then crashes and I get the Sorry messages.

Afterward:

other calls made get to 27 secs and it hangs up, or it connects and instantly hangs up

no audio heard in the speaker

phone runs super slow

pressing numbers on the keypad takes a few seconds each

I loose cell reception for a about a min.

After rebooting, (after booting to Win 6.5) it hangs on the green "HTC", then I have to do a hard reboot.

Radio: 2.15.50.14
[HD2 Android SD Development] telcobilly:
Which patch is for the data corruption issue? I believe that is the issue I'm having. The phone locks up on a call after Android ha been running for a random period of time. I have the 2gb data.img installed currently. Thanks

1-Open terminal emulator

2-su

3-fix_permissions

4-wait until done .

anyone wanna get paypal'd $5 for sending me a zip of a working mag1.12 build that boots off sd? Tacky, sure, but I can't believe I've been fighting this daily ever since the wp7 rom. I got three other builds using edited initrds...but this one is just a doozy for the best rom
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
my signature has a guide to get it dual booted, especially with WM7 :P)

you dont need to pay pal anyone for it too :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] bravo261:
i've gone through some parts of your guide for weeks and it all makes sense, but using the same files, i get different booting results, and when it does make it into android, maps doesnt work. using letama's full zipped build, i cant login to google instead...ugh

thanks for the guide though!
[HD2 Android SD Development] ozkaya:
Same here, I can't login to Google as well. I guess people who got it working started with winmo/haret and then used that data.img. If you start with fresh data.img and magldr ad sd, it seems to give problems.
[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
I got it to fresh start with magldr. I used a fresh build, added letamas edited initrd, and put in a fresh 1gb data.img from an old mdj build.

When I boot first time, it got to where I log into Google and froze. I reset and booted again... it got a little further second time, but froze again. Then reset and on third boot it went all the way through and haven't had a problem booting since. It'll work, it just takes a few time in a row.
[HD2 Android SD Development] yogya:

To fix permissions ,download for free from market better terminal or terminal emulator and :

1-Open terminal emulator or better terminal from your phone and write

2-su and enter

3-fix_permissions and enter

it works evetually, but it literally takes tens of new bootups. i must have tried nearly 30 boots to get a working one with maps and login, all boots using the same files

I hope DS comes up with a Gingerbread ROM soon...SD based still like this....

The other devs on this section have come up with their own. It's so tempting to try. But I'd rather be loyal to DS...for now!
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
i bought a secondary 16GB sandisk for the purposes for testing the copenhagen/warren build which is pretty much a gingerbread ROM

gets my curiousity senses up so I am going to try that out.

of course, ill stick to Darkstone 1.5 :D

and see if all my applications work on gingerbread :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
I'm going to wait for your update. Curious about it as well. Too afraid to try anything else since this ROM has been working splendid for me since inception.

Question for you about trying the Warren/cope's build is, after installation and creation of the data.img, will you use your DS data.img afterwards? If we have to talk about this via Private Messaging to prevent off topics, I'd be happy to!

Some observation on DS' build: I seldom reboot my phone (to prevent the 60mA batt crap) but then, as days go by, whenever I use Task Killer, I noticed the the freed memory goes down. Upon fresh reboot, available memory is up to 300!

As days go by, it dwindles down to 250-270m. Any reasons for this?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
agreed that this build has been splendid, however i am itchy to try others as they have updated and they claim to be so problem free

i wil use a new data.img, as I dont need to carry anything over from Darkstone's build. my HD2 is purely an Android test bed and I have another mobile on Windows Mobile to makes calls and text..

i do reboot my phone and i get 3-7mA consistently, regardless almost every 24 hours. free memory upon boot up ranges around 250-260, and then drops to about 200mb

i keep it at 200mb with Autokiller Memory, an award winning app. give it a go, i believe its better than all tasks killers out there
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
Why do you think it drops like that? Any reason for that?

about the other build/s, please comment (apart from what's working or not) about responsiveness, speed etc...

BTT: How can i update the market? Any detailed guide specific for this build? Or anyone else has tried updating it. I found the thread on the 2.2.7 and what people have done to update it, but since I haven't found anyone with DS build doing it, again, I'm afraid that when I update the Market, i get FCs...I tried once and that's what happened. Good thing I backed up my data.img and the Android folder a minute before I did it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sblar:

I thought I would post this to help those that were getting the boot loop.

P.S. I also tested out his build(without the system.ext folder from this build and posted the results.

don't know about you, but there is a major different in download speed over 3g for me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Rocheau:
I have meet other builds faster than this one. I am not really seeing all the advantages that other people can see. I have been using others CM builds and I still prefer not load everything from RAM but from SD CARD, leaving my RAM clean and installing all apps that needs root permissions as for example LCD DENSITY CHANGER, SET CPU or making changes to the build.pro on the fly . I can really appreciate the innovation but for the moment I am going back to the basis.
[HD2 Android SD Development] yogya:
I made it work already... The problem seemed to be with the folder name that was written with capital letter in the first letter, so android makes case sensitive names for folders (Windows not) I had to create a new folder because android didn't let me just change the case of the letter... Funny isn't it?

Ok thanks anyway, maybe can help to somebody like me... ;D
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
there are no specific reasons...250mb and 200mb are plenty enough for anything to run... and android itself frees up memory on its own ;)

even if it drops to 100mb, i am happy... at least its keeping everything ready in RAM for me to run immediately :D

i will comment, if that build's download link will get up :D

at the moment, im waiting :D

by just removing market, u will get FC's

Hi to all!

Darkstone say:To delete LauncherPro just uninstall it from the Application Manager!

I do this, after install LauncherPro 8.0.3 and every work fine. First time i reboot....black screen!!! Only the phone module works....why?!??!?!?!
[HD2 Android SD Development] sblar:
Exactly, and it probably does the job much better that a lot of apps claiming to boost your memory by killing unused application. That might have been true in the earlier Android versions, but not anymore. In fact they could do things worse by killing applications that Android would immediately start again once they are killed, so you end up with the OS spending time on unnecessary work. I experienced serious lag in the lockscreen until i uninstalled Task Killer. Havent seen any problem since that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] full2000:
Yes that's hit! Thanks!!!!!

Can you please explain what is the background of this "trick"?!

Was there Wifi still enabled all the time?!
[HD2 Android SD Development] brainmaster:
BEFORE you remove the LauncherPro you need to install another launcher like ADWLauncher.

When there is no Launcher - then there is also no Homescreen.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
I honestly do not know. hahaha. During the early parts of having this build, I was experiencing the 60mA idle batt crap. did a lot of tweaking and reading from this thread and this fixed it. I am no techie...just a newbie and a user like all of us.
[HD2 Android SD Development] danimod:
I have the same problem, even instaling other launcher before uninstall launcherpro...

this rom causes to me headaches.... first was gps, i fix.... then FC with process.android.media :confused: and now this.... ohhh what a pity i like this rom but too many probls was made me to try another one.
[HD2 Android SD Development] etere:
...off course! I install ADW, then unistall LauncherPro. I set the ADW like default launcher, and reboot.

After reboot, every works fine: i install LauncherPro 8.0.3 and unistall ADW: set LauncherPro like default launcher, i reboot my phone.

Result: black screen!!!!!!

I uninstalled LauncherPro first. Then rebooted into Windows Mobile, connected my phone to the PC and placed the previously acquired LauncherPro APK file in data\app\ folder - don't forget to delete the old LauncherPro.apk there. Then rebooted ANDROID again and the new LauncherPro was installed correctly :)

I would love this with Gingerbread :) Its the only RAM Version which works correctly
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
Well it's totally borked on me today. It decided it wanted to update 9 apps this morning, I perhaps foolishly hit update all, and it got stuck. I then, perhaps foolishly, killed the Market process. Now I'm getting google framework errors, market vendor errors, you name it. Tried clearing aches and data etc, and now market doesn't load at all.

Anyone have any ideas before I start from scratch?
[HD2 Android SD Development] method2madness:
Yea. This build doesn't like being killed, or getting a battery pull. On next boot, you're almost guaranteed to either see an infinite blackscreen, and/or framework FC'es.

The good news is, It's pretty stable and rarely even needs a reboot, much less a battery pull. For me anyway.

But, I digress. Unless you made a backup of your Android folder, you're more than likely going to need a complete re-install. I tried several ways to get it working after getting Framework FCes and nothing worked. I learned my lesson and now keep at least 3 different backups on the Android folder, so if anything *does* go wrong, I can be up and rolling again in the time it takes to copy the folder over. Hopefully you at least have a Titanium Backup, backup so you don't have to start all over again. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
Titanium Backup? Looks like I'm starting over
[HD2 Android SD Development] method2madness:
Uhh ohh. Looks that way. ;) This time, I would make a backup of your Android folder once you get all your settings set, before you start installing apps and so-forth. Then make another backup once you're up and running exactly the way you want. That way if an app causes issues during install, you still have a "base" to restore to. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
Sounds like a plan mate, I don't seem to be able to resolve this framework error so I'd rather start over, get everything working as it should and as you wisely say - backup this time
[HD2 Android SD Development] method2madness:
Roger that! Good luck. This is a very nice build, so you should be back up and running in no time. :)

That is the exact and only problem I have too. HD2 can run for 4-40 hrs before this occurs. I'm having no joy getting a new radio installed. First I tried installing the radio without HSPL, no dice and now when i try to install HSPL 1,2 or 3, I get the same error message that the USB is not connecting, when I can see the phone on Activesync. I really want to get this fixed, I detest the WM on it after having tasted the sweetness of Android. Please help me and tell me what I'm missing!
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
SP kernel open failed seems like it was looking for the kernel, usually the zImage

anyways,

1. WM7 formats your entire SD card so your 2GB (with Android folder) is all gone

2. Magldr cant boot your /Android folder zImage (kernel) since its formatted

3. How does your 16GB or whatever SD card (remember you need two(2) sd cards, 1 bigger than the one you are using for Android, looks like? Did you copy back your Android folders into the FAT32?

4. Forgot to mention Radio in my post on that, so that should be 2.15.50 if I am not mistaken

EDIT :

noticed you are using :

- flash stock 1.66

- radio 2.08

- HSPL3

- MAGLDR 113

Radio 2.08? It should be 2.15

There are 2 versions of HSPL

HSPL 2.08 and HSPL 3 (I think, not sure), depending on the age of your device...

HSPL 2.08 is what most of us are running though, HSPL3 im not too sure.. didnt read much on that

MAGLDRD 113 is slightly newer which shouldnt affect this process as well
