I'd have to say that on first glance this rom looks great, and I'll probably end up installing it, however I don't have an HD2.

I was wondering if much more would need to be modified than ram usage using an LG Fathom with this rom. The processor is the same (same clock speed and a snapdragon, only differ slightly), it's just the screen resolution and the available ram that would be considerably different. I know how to change screen resolution.

Edit: Nevermind, probably wont work as the fathom only has 256mb of ram, and this release is completely loaded into the ram.

Been running really great since first release until today, got robovoice4life and my dialer screwed up totaly, couldnt make a phone call or anything. Just crashed =( Still broken after reboot, ended up installing DFT NAND instead :) yahay!

Edit...

Ok guys ... After a week of using this build I came with these result

first of all energy android WM ROM above has a sound bug ! it seems like the android launcher never run clard.exe before booting..so after trying many builds I've found the best WM build is : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734238&nojs=1#goto_threadsearch

but ! auto loader not working ! so its easy, all what u need is reinstalling the EBl loader after flashing for auto boot. (cab below) after installing, restart and use the new EBL in the start menu with auto boot method.

So far the build is good.. battery drain is good .. sleepy battery application is so useful, and also use power control widget is so useful to control everything.

bugs found :

not so many :rolleyes:

-WIFI connecting problem not connecting to all wifi routers its keep saying obtaining IP address ! this is a major issue, so you have to enter advanced setting and put the IP address manually and it should work fine.

-Robot Voice fixing easy in first post

-Caller suddenly stops and say android force close, restart ll fix that.

-Compass sometimes shows wrong directions

- USB storage not working well, sometimes never transfer files

-Everything else is working just fine.

I m not a fan of sense version so please keep updating this :)

thank you so much for the great build and for your hard work.

[HD2 Android SD Development] smileybri:
[SOLVED]

This was resolved after a reboot. My bad for not doing that first.

Also, there is a data directory in the root that I accidentally deleted on following the installation directions. Obviously the directions are clear to remove the Android/root/data folder but I wasn't being careful enough.

I didn't specifically search for this, but thought worth mentioning. I sent a reply to a text message and it went to a totally different contact. I double checked my text log and the person who received the text had no text conversations open in my device at all.

Error Messages

Hey guys,

Been using this build since it came out, and it's been awesome!

However, I just tried to boot it up and now get error messages. Looks like Microsoft got wind of these programs and won't allow them to run anymore.

Or, am I the only one experiencing this?

Thanks,

O.
[HD2 Android SD Development] themadproducer:
This is a VERY GOOD workaround. In fact, I did the very same thing 2 nights ago without reading this post? On my own...my idea (pat on the back :) )

But obviously, great minds think alike? (sorry more pats for us)

I go further (on my other MDj build) and set Wifi and Autosync off when screen turns off)

There is also a setting in: Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks that says ENABLE ALWAYS ON....

I unchecked this. (Might be a placebo but I think it helps)

FINALLY...with 2 days of confirmed CURRENT WIDGET readings, I get rock solid 3-5ma draw in standby (the odd 10-20ma spike) and maybe 1 or 2 super short lived spikes higher than that in a 12 hour period overclocked to 1152(smartass) with no sleep profile. No more mysterious battery drain activity.

YAHOOOOO

new zImage for DS superRam build

hello all

i replaced the zImage in DS's superRam with the zImage file from [Dec 26][SD] -=MDJ Gingerbread=- v. 1.0 RC5 RAM ..... and now i can OC up to 1.56 ghz or so.

i'm just wondering if its that easy bc it is so much faster than it was originally.

i was getting 1700 to 1900 b4 and 2200 to 2600 now and i can finally use setcpu!

Precisely, its software on top of software on top of software... its OK:) Sense has become the "cool" thing so even if no one positvely needs it for any reason what so ever, they "need" to have it":) Happiness to everyone, whatever it takes:)

ROMs, apps, software... they all start lean, fast simple, then they grow into something combersome, slow and too big... Windows XP to Vista, then to 7? I remember when MS Word was 3 floppies (now its a 3Gb Suite) and Adobe Photoshop (already with layers and multiple undo) was 12Megs (now its a Gig)

Ahhhhhhh just U wait for Android 3.0 that apparently is so big and slow that it doesnt sun on most current software... ahah, its all too funny...:) But it will be better with Sense ALSO on top to make it just a little bit fatter, slower and more chaotic:)

Anyway, enough of this subject: darkstone, GREAT ROM so far. Minimal bugs, fast, stable, fun and easy to use:) Kudos.

[HD2 Android SD Development] ITAYSHARONI:
I tried to use another build (froyo HD) system.ext2 i renamed it to system..

and use the latest mdjeey kernel

the Haret says the build is to large, so its not the build that is so fast its the haret

it loads the system file to the ram, this build system file is just 53MB and an avarage sese build is about 300+MB

all that is need is some how edit the haret and let it load larger system file

but than 300+ of the RAM will be used constantly
[HD2 Android SD Development] hutc:
i dont know what you are talking man only advantage of using ram is its too fast apart from that its nothing,when you boot into android go to sd card settings you will see the details of your sd card you will see details of your card plus your rom size that is 1gb in us hd2 and 512 mb in non us hd2.

normally after installing android(old method) you are left with 786 mb of storage on the rom, now if you unmount your sd card your os works because its getting loaded into the rom ,so your rom still has 786 mb you can install all your apps into the rom so that when you shut down and reboot all your app install goes into data img file on sd card coz it syncs before you reboot.so now if you change from one build to another in the same class(froyostone sense 3.3 to 3.4)you can just use the earlier data img file so that you carry your settings and all apps from the previous build so you dont have to install apps everytime you change to a new build.and also with the old system (rootfs) apps installed to your rom work faster than installed on your sd card and are more stable you never get force close error,i have seen this with all mdj builds as well as darkstones build.the problem with loading os to your ram is it has only 578 mb ram and it leaves only around 256 mb left to run your system and the minimum reqd is 200 to work on the os,so i cant install to the ram it will install only on the sd card making the app work so slow i have to wait for 4to 5 seconds while flipping pages between epocrates because it will have to read the app from your sd card where as in old system it reads it from the rom on the chip so less time and more faster it is.i think this is what i meant from the earlier post,you got to understand quadrant score is rubbish its not a great tool to measure your os working better or bad or your os speed, with nand flash what developers are trying to do is write the os to the rom ,with old system it loads it to the rom everytime it boots ,i dont know if it is using some ram to keep the data img loaded continously on to the rom as even in the old system the max ram utilizable is 256 mb,please correct me if i am wrong darkstone
[HD2 Android SD Development] dsleo:
Another issue, complete with the assembly is data.img-256 mg! Is it possible to use a 1GB?
[HD2 Android SD Development] hutc:
i doubt whether you can use more than that as the other 200+ ram is being used to load the data img to ram so if you use a 512/1gb/2gb data img it will not boot as it cannot load into ram. thats what i think
[HD2 Android SD Development] SkywalkerPD:
It is possible to use a 1 GB image. I'm using it right now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hutc:
hi

can you tell us how to use it , i want to do that
[HD2 Android SD Development] dsleo:
But the fact that I put data.img on another assembly with all software and everything works! And there was a lot of programs) So you want to say that the assembly should be put only what you need? Or am I mistaken? "I did not understand in English ) But surely the point is that now is not important data.img? But where then put all the programs? the way you should try to 1GB)

Unable to get location on this ROM

Hi,

I haven't seen any other posts on this; am I the only one with this problem? I'm unable to get a location on google maps (or other apps) based on data triangulation. Data itself works ok, though, with the occasional freeze/drop.

It's not my network, as I can boot into my old rom and get the location just fine.

My old ROM was MCCM_IR 1.7, EVO based.

Any ideas?

One more thing : 3g watchdog is unable to track data usage and shows my data as rmnet0, instead of ppp0. I have replaced system.ext2 as suggested by other posts. No joy.
[HD2 Android SD Development] GJ.:
Yes, I haven't any contact on my sim. I turned off the radio and re-enabled it, I reboot after that and now I'm getting a new problem, the phone won't be unlocked...

I re-do all the steps and didn't get the data connection working :/

Cheers

EDIT: I checked my SIM card on WM and find some contacts that I didn't find on Android

EDIT2: I'm re-doing all the steps, I have to follow all the instructions on the setup wizard or try to skip them ? [DONE] but no way to retreive sim's contacts, it's not important, I'm just needing the data connection coz I can retreive my contacts from my gmail account.

Is there anybody using headphones bluetooth that can use the play buttons of the headphone?

About your question Pablo71 has answered this before:

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
[HD2 Android SD Development] emtchief22:
Thanks buddy,

Do i delete the OLD VERSION or just keep it there?

[HD2 Android SD Development] emtchief22:
Btw when renaming the old file, don't add ".gz" If you have Winrar.. so just renamed the old file "newinitrd_OldVersion" and the new one "newinitrd". It will give errors If you add the ".gz" after couple of reboots.. Successful working fine now.

Thanks again, Dark. Still using this as my daily build on my phone.

Hello All,

I have used this for 2 days now and have found this unusual problem. The android OS shuts itself down randomly and boots into windows OS. I have tried to see why that is happening but to no avail. It's happening absolutely randomly (sometimes when Wifi is on, sometimes when it is off; sometimes when some processes are on; sometimes when nothing is going on). I have formatted the SD card twice and loaded the OS however the problem persists.

Any solutions?
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
I really wish Darkstone would hint at a nand version or not. I really want to jump ship to nand, but would rather wait for his. If not, I'm gonna use somebody elses version.

Why do you want to use NAND the_Biz? I believe winMO and Android on RAM provides the best of both worlds.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Unconn:
I loved the RAM build, but I HAD to jump ship to NAND. I am too much of a tinkerer to not jump, that and I do not use WinMo for anything other than copying files and booting into Android. Now after putting MAGDLR and a CM 6.1 NAND build on my phone it 'feels' about as fast and I do not have to reboot to copy files!

[Dec 30][NAND] CMN 6.1 v1.02 [RMNET] [SMARTASS] [Kernel: Hastarin 8.6 Custom]

I did have to run the WiFi patch, even on version 1.02, but everything else has been perfect for me. I am not saying I will not come back to a DS RAM build (trying to get it to boot from SD now from NAND), but my phone is running great, boots fast and has great standby MA draw (I actually saw 2ma). I am glad WinMo is gone.
