agreed

there issnt anybody following up on RAM builds anyways and Darkstone probably started and left a legacy behind

well, regarding tytungs kernel, I would give it a try

would you install Battery Monitor Widget that monitors drains and counts estimates for you? with this installed, do you think its better than hastarin custom or hastarin 8.5.3 :D?

anyways I suppose your radio is also 2.15 :)

I wil give this a try, actually in fact, will download this now and give it a try

EDIT ::

Installed 8.6 kernel by Tytung

going to observe this for a while...
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
how did you fix the WIFI error/

is it because of the PPP folder which was empty/

I prefer using something stable.. my internet speeds in malaysia arent fast anyways, roughly 1MB-2MB line

PPP vs RMNET and I think PPP is for speed.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mosio:
I didn`t do anything with PPP folder, actualy I didn`t know it existed.

First time I tried this kernel I used provided GScript. It didn`t work for me - wifi.

Then I used the Root folder method to move those files and it did work.

If it`s of importance I tried hastarin 8.5.3 oldcam kernel between those two methods. Maybe that fixed the wifi problem.

My radio is 2.15

Installing new Market v2.2.6?

Ive got the new market apk and am trying to install it but keep getting the "Application not installed" error.

Does anybody know how to solve the problem with new market or a workaround to upgrade?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
this is probably 90% due to the fact that the build is faster and utilizes, RAM and SD CARD.

this results in better read / write buffer for our Android

end results are that our internet speed is not "queing" to write and read data it has downloaded since we have RAM & SD CARD working

like i mentioned earlier as well, when you install an app, i didnt even notice CPU hitting 100% where as on the MDJ Desire HD 4.4 / Froyostone 3.2, Angry Birds would have choked so much read /writes
[HD2 Android SD Development] Tubgirl:
Finally a close to stock rom with no unstable undervolt/overclock tweaks. I requested a non-undervolted build "ages" ago and finally here it is :-))) Good choice of kernel... and as a big bonus it boots fine with the HTC extended battery. This is the first rom I've tried that works out of the box... I use an extended battery and my HD2 doesn't like undervolting, so I've always had to change kernel to be able to boot without having reboot problems. :) :)

/TubGirl

PS. Here's my thread about Non-Undervolted Builds...
[HD2 Android SD Development] pieryx:
So what are the builds faster than this one? i havent found once so far...

also i noticed that this build is the only one able to respond correctly to display on-off pressing; eg keep pressing end call button every 1 sec.. how does it go?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
desire HD sense super RAM option for me as well

we'll work together to iron out the bugs on this guy first though

give Darkstone some rest, this is already amazing
[HD2 Android SD Development] mattfmartin:
Guys he already said that an HD build is out of the question. So quit asking for one. All your gonna do is just piss him off

Lack of space (app2sd???)

Hi there just want to now if there is a way to include app2sd to this build, so that i can create an ext3 partition to have more space because of it ram use which make it a hole faster we get just 200MB space for all our apps.

The thing is that it is not a apk file but the extracted version of an apk and i should be put into data.img ....

Droid explorer don t let people copy folder or files to data.img ???
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
The battery life on this is crazy. I didn't even need setcpu for it to get 4-7mah during the night.

I did notice today that the keypad lights were flashing weirdly. I just did a reboot and that went away.

I also got BT file transfer working today. Idk what I did, but it just started working. So maybe it was my BT device on my pc? Either way, it works now. :)

1 more thing. TuneIn radio from the market says there's a internal decoder error when trying to play. Idk what that means. Xiaalive plays though and that's a internet radio app.

DS is the man at this, I hope he never leaves again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dung8604:
I wonder, since this is all loaded on ram, if it means you can take out sd card now
[HD2 Android SD Development] jagr:
my hd2 keeps rebooting after the green HTC appears back into winmo. anyone can help?
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
More info on your winmo and radio may help people to understand what you're using. Then it may give them some info to determine what you could try. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] jagr:
i'm using dutty's latest ML V11 winmo and Radio_2_14_50_04

thanks.

Very fast build, i cannot charge past 87% though
[HD2 Android SD Development] ygt555:
hey people which windows rom do u use with this rom?
[HD2 Android SD Development] the_scotsman:
Any custom ROm should work, but there are some specially made for running Android, as they are minimal ROMs with only basics needed, so they boot up very fast.

I have one (in my sig), and also VBNROM and ChuckyDROID are 2 others.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bloodbreed:
I got this problem too this afternoon, my solution was that win7 made a little partition of 8M plus the one of 7GB go to hard disk manager erase both partition and recreate a new fat32 partition. It seems that winmo has some troubles with 2 partition.
[HD2 Android SD Development] chris_ah1:
I have the reboot after black screen and green logo too - only one partition shows up on the card though. I do have the build in a custom folder - droid-ram...but I have edited startup.txt accordingly.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
I will maintain tytung 8.6 kernel and zimage and use hastarin 8.5.3 hw and modules to fix the WIFI

need better camera

Can anyone tell me how to get a better camera and camcorder onto this build. I don't know if its a sense thing but the options and the layout of the camera on this build is not good at all. But overall I love this build. Its is the fastest one I've seen. thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] raziel123:
kernel updates

I wasnt aware of that. The kernel seemed essentially the same so I thought the root folder method may work. Nothing seems to be damaged so far. everything works except led notifications ...

And yes I know Super RAM is an sd build

Regards
[HD2 Android SD Development] EngineerMind:
OK, here is the framework-res.apk from the SuperRAM sense .1 build of DS...

i didnt get tytung 8.6 old cam to work because WIFI was giving ERROR

im reverting back to Hastarin custom (default)
[HD2 Android SD Development] mosio:
When I get home I can send you packages which I used to run tytung 8.6 oldcam.

EDIT:

Try this. Backup your things first. I`m also using undervolt patch from hastarin 8.6 thread.

[HD2 Android SD Development] raziel123:
?

Which CPU Governer were you using, ?

was it Interactive or Smartass?

regards.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mosio:
My choice was Smartass

EDIT:

And after reboot I got hit by 58 mAh ...

Got to clear batterystats.bin ...

Maybe it`s build issue, not kernel
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
thanks mate

now using 8.6 tytung zImage and kernel and WIFI works

now im going to test run this tomorrow on full EDGE a day and see the estimates

THANKS AGAIN!

on first glance, doesnt seem to good

delete batterystats.bin? where is that
[HD2 Android SD Development] mosio:
Deleting batterystats is a first aid in case of 60 mAh issue.

This file contains calibration data for battery under Android.

EDIT: Ideal for me would be script deleting batterystats when reboot is initiated. Is it possible?
[HD2 Android SD Development] boomboomer:
Okay, I've read through all 340 pages - it seems 70% of posts come from people not reading and following the instructions to the letter, 20% of posts come from apps/meddling after installation or are totally unrelated to the thread and 10% are bugs in the build/kernel. To the 90% of posters I would say read the OP, read it again then print it out and read it once more, then load the ROM and follow the instructions exactly. Then use it for a while before breaking it, that way you will know it was not the ROM so you can just load it again to refresh. Finally search for your answer, instead of posting and hoping someone drops the answer in your lap.

My own experience is that this is my 6th Android ROM and the best by a long shot, very nearly good enough to fully replace WM as a daily. I almost missed Sense until I booted Dolphin HD the first time, I don't miss the 30 second delay in starting most apps! Sure it's not that pretty but with 3mA on standby it's the first build to get me through a whole day of heavy use.

Only 2 things prevent daily use, the 60mA bug and the GPS issue. The GPS issue is a well known as a kernel driver problem and not created by this build. Even using the instant fix gps.conf from the Q&A forum I can only ever get cold fixes on all builds, warm starts never work.

On the 60mA bug my view is that turning Wifi location does not solve the problem, mine has been off since I first read the OP and loaded the ROM. I can disable GPS, WiFi location, set airplane mode, disable sync, background sync but the only thing that resolves the bug is a reboot.

I know Darkstone is a busy guy, but imho this build stands out from all the other builds (including NAND) for it's simplicity and speed so is worth continuing with, if it still interests you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
Hi. How do I select the CPU Governer to use for this build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
setCPU

this should be within the ROM itself
[HD2 Android SD Development] Blacknight1970:
Music Program Doesn't Work

I have the ROM loaded on my SD card. Every time I turn off my phone and reboot to Android the music program will not work. I download the ROM again and repeat the process of reloading all my information. Please help. Love the ROM except for this issue.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
how do you replace/change kernels?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Blacknight1970:
What am I doing wrong

I download the ROM again to my phone and now it doesn't work. I get the HTC screen and then nothing? Help.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
did you include a data.img to the Android folder? you should!
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
+1 for this... thanks for both your help as I am seeing this problem too after applying the framework.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
quite easy

the package uploaded by Masio (Megaupload) on Tytungs 8.6 Hastarin_old cam

extract all to the /Android folder

which usually results in overwriting

PLEASE EFFING BACKUP YOUR ANDROID & DATA.IMG

PLEASE DO THIS IN WINDOWS MOBILE

once done, boot your Android as normal.. you should be able to see About Phone that you are using the new kernel , if it boots up :D

give WIFI a test and see if it works
[HD2 Android SD Development] Blacknight1970:
I did not add a data.img. I saw it in the folder, but only added android and media. I will try it. Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
i think the default that comes with it is 256MB

find a 1GB data.img if you need more space from other builds

they work
[HD2 Android SD Development] kazido:
Data dropout issue!

I had this build working almost perfectly with the 256mb data image but this wasnt enough. I downloaded a blank 2gb image file keeping the same radio etc but not have had ongoing issues with robot voice, gps problems and data only lasting 10 seconds before dropping out.

My biggest issue atm is the data dropping out. I have tried aeroplane mode, modding build prop, modding apn's, holding down backspace and toggling wifi. Have I missed something?

Modding this phone was challenging but now it's just a pain in the ass. I dont understand half of this stuff and frankly dont care. I use my phone daily for work and need email daily, I have removed touchdown cause i thought this might behelp and now I dont have all my exchange contacts. To top it off, a lightning strike blew up my modem, central filter and alarm. I no longer have wifi as im running my old backup modem. I have no contacts and dont even want to think about adding them in manually.

Does anyone have any good working combinations running a 2gb image file that they'd like to share? Im willing to give this one more go before smash it in little pieces. Any constructive help much appreciated, cheers.

Running stock radio 2.15.50.14 and think im using a v2 ozdroid rom, cant remember.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dkl_uk:
May I ask why you're listing issues and asking for help for a ROM that has nothing to do with this thread? I feel people would not be able to answer your questions or help you troubleshoot simply because you're not using the ROM that this thread was created for.

If you are in fact using the SuperRAM 1.5, the issues you've listed here have been discussed before but I am not aware of a fix. One question you ask about 'combinations' running a 2GB data.img I don't really understand. The data.img file is essentially the only file you'll ever need to change in your \\SDCARD\Android folder - and then the management of it comes down to Android itself, so you'll never need to do anything with it apart from back it up every few days onto your PC (or another location on your SD card).

If there's anything you can elaborate further on then maybe we can be of assistance, but only if you're writing in response to the subject ROM.

no in-call sound

Guys i have a sound issue in outgoing call. I can hear the one i am calling but he cannot hear me. I tried previously mentioned fix "speaker on-end call". It does not work for me or if it works, it works only for a brief time and problem re-appeares again. Please give me a solution for this error because this is the only thing that i found not to work in this build and sadly it is the most important- basic function of the phone is to make calls. Should i use my ancient nokia 3310 because it can make calls and it doesnt have 1gig procesor :)

please help
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
thanks gazillion for the reply. I thought there was a "special way" to change kernels. I'm only used changing kernels on another (dandiest's) build. so basically it's a copy-paste-overwrite-YES thing? great!
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
My reply to your BOLD quote is that you need to change the kernel from its default zImage to something of Hastarin 8.5.3 or Tytungs Hastarin 8.6 , which both MUST be old_cam.

This will give you a little overclocking, no data drops and a little better performance... battery life so far is averagely the same, but depends on what you actually do with it

Modding the ROM framework is currently IN PROGRESS.

One thing is to NEVER remove the Market place

yes just copy and paste

replacing the contents of your Android folder works

anyways, there is a Thanks button
[HD2 Android SD Development] sarzyk:
Hi, I'm still having a problem with the current.

I did as an entry in the friend advised darkstone but still gets to me after waking 56mA.

How do I do to fix it?

[HD2 Android SD Development] EngineerMind:
Hey Brainmaster,

I am doing some research into this 65ma standby issue and why some have it and some dont.

Can you do me a favor and tell me if you had "bluetooth" on or off when you get 4-6ma in standby?

...And if you had it off, can you try turning it on and see what your standby current is?

My research so far seems to indicate that the constant 65ma "no matter what you do" (turning off "use wireless networks", turn off gps, ect) make be caused by the parent WM ROM version on the HD2. I am still doing some more research and your answers will help.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
i noticed that if you boot into Android fastest from WM6.5 (Without loading up sense too long)

then you will get good mA drains

I can replicate this 100 times and it would be successful

on another note, turning on and off bluetooth wouldnt affect it
[HD2 Android SD Development] EngineerMind:
Are you saying that if you turn on bluetooth *and leave it on*, then have your phone go into standby, then when your phone wakes back up that the current widget will say 5ma?

I would be very surprised if you say "yes, it will say 5ma with bluetooth on"

*** If you do say that, then please let me what WM ROM (please provide a link to the ROM thread) and what radio version you are using on your HD2 - because I need to be able to leave bluetooth on while running android :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] brainmaster:
I have now Charnsingh's CM7 NAND Nightly on my Phone. But when I was using the SuperRAM build, I didn't BT since I don't need it.

And about the BT Drainage bug - its there on every build - SD, NAND - because there are no proper drivers for HD2 BT right now. The Charnsingh is the first developer that is writing the drivers from the scratch and not porting them from other devices like bravo.

He already coded WiFi driver, GPS driver and is now working on proper BT driver.
[HD2 Android SD Development] EngineerMind:
Excellent - when the BT driver is fixed, then this will be one sweet build!
[HD2 Android SD Development] sly5789:
could someone please help

I asked this question a few post ago but still did not get a response. I need to know how to install a new camera on this build. I love this build but can't stand the camera I would like a better one with more options such as changing Mega pixels. If anyone knows how to do it could you please tell me.

Thank you
[HD2 Android SD Development] brainmaster:
Well, you can install Camera360 Ultimate, it works pretty good.
[HD2 Android SD Development] EngineerMind:
Another one is "lgCamera"
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
better/best if you set winmo to airplane mode and boot ASAP to android.

whenever I transfer files between PC and USB using Winmo (so i can boot right away to Android), this is when it gives me the 60mA....in short, the shorter time you spend on winmo, that's there'll be a great chance you get the 5-8mA idle drain...
[HD2 Android SD Development] sly5789:
Thank you Johncody and brainmaster for your responses. So I take it there is nothing internal you could do about the camera that came with this build like replacing it in system file or root file? I've seen it on other posting regarding camera fix 5 Megal Pixel such as HTCcam.apk and you had to replace it in your system/app file. I've tried to to replace it by going to his site http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=815844, but I couldn't find my HTCcamera apk under system app but I guess that is only for sense roms.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dim1x:

[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
I deleted batterystats from within root explorer and now, every time i boot up, i get 60ma drain

****!
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
and now only getting 6 hours of estimated battery life, FML!

removing past 5 applications ive installed

removed a bunch of settings ive changed recently

lets see how this goes
[HD2 Android SD Development] EngineerMind:
I think I have a handle on this 65ma standby current issue - please follow these steps

exactly

to see if we can get your device in the 3-6ma standby mode again.

*** I have a reason for why you need to perform each step in the order listed, so please do not take shortcuts or assume anything, or this test may not create a valid result ****

1) Turn off Bluetooth and Wifi (in settings....wireless and networks), DO NOT turn on "airplane mode" - leave airplane mode off

2) Turn off GPS and "Use Wireless network" (in settings...location)

3) Turn off "Background Data" and "auto-sync" (in settings....Accounts & Sync)

4) Set a static wallpaper and NOT a "live" one.

5) Now reboot your phone and go back into Android.

6) Turn bluetooth on for 10 seconds, then turn it off.

7) Now put your phone into standby for 1-2 minutes, then unlock it and read the "ma" value displayed in the "CurrentWidget"

It should read "3-6ma". If it does, then try turning back on all the settings above that you normally would have on, even a live wallpaper - EXCEPT BLUETOOTH and GPS - Leave bluetooth and GPS OFF. Now, Reboot your phone again, and then just do this....turn bluetooth on for 10 seconds, then back off again and retest the current draw - it should still be 3-6ma.

Let me know the results of the above steps - PLEASE FOLLOW THEM EXACTLY AS IN THE ORDER I HAVE THEM LISTED AND DON'T TAKE ANY SHORTCUTS if you want this test to be valid so it will help find a solution.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boomboomer:
Your conclusion mirrors mine, apart from bluetooth which I don't use, GPS seems to be the most frequent cause of my build giving the 60mA bug. I've been booted into Android for the past two days with no problems until GPS was used then had to reboot to get back to 3mA in standby.

One other cause of problems, the power app built into the included launcher seems to corrupt the Wifi driver? If I use the power app to enable/disable wifi I get a message that the internal data state cannot be read and even multiple reboots may not then clear the 60mA bug. Instead I now use the system settings to switch.
[HD2 Android SD Development] brainmaster:
This is known bug on some kernels - BT and GPS are draining power after using them.
[HD2 Android SD Development] smsshahid:
Did you try using a different radio? When I was on 2.15.50, it used to take a random number of reboots to get 5mA drain. I have tried 2.12.50 and 2.14.50 since then and i have not faced the 60mA drain issue with those radios. I have a live wall paper (WP clock), "use wireless networks" enabled and still average about 4mA.

PS: I am booting into Android from MAGLDR 1.3.
