1. fix the comcorder(of course)

2. add the battery percentage.

3. use the new init.

4. add full languages and locations like my v4.0 in order for others can use it.

5. fix some stupid issues(these will not impact normal use.)
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Man that's very mean. Why would you say that. What's so objectionable downloading from a different site. Same thing as you download from hotfile or Megaupload. About donate I don't think Dandy is doing thing so that he can attract donations. It's comments like this that slow down down development. How about you try build your own Rom. Arrrrghhhh
[HD2 Android SD Development] Mariad:
As far as I can see, you have to register to download V4.0

That said, I'm content to wait without complaining because Dandiest's builds are excellent. Thank you Dandiest:)

Dandiest

I read the first post I spent about two days now researching, I still have not had a clear answer to my main question, can I run WINMO 6.5 and your Desire Z 3.5 SD version on HD2? if so how, do I need a dual boot software? if so which one, the ones I tried I could not change the location that they looked for the HARET file in, they were looking for ANdroid folder and your folder is Desire_DL which youasked to to change?

If I boot manually from winmo by running the files I can get the Android to boot but I can not get the mobile network to start. I have already applied the fixes, the files I am trying to start manually are the same as the ones that were running fine with MAGLDR.

Please just point me to what I need to do, I did not ask before I research agan I have spent many hours researching before I asked.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikemol:
Dear Dandiest,

I downloaded version 4.0 from the chinese site. It didn't have a data.img file in it. I use an SD version. I did rename config.txt.sd to config.txt. I tried it with my data.img file from version 3.4 and the phone froze at HTC screen. I tried it without data.img file hoping it would create a new one but it didn't and it froze on the screen with tiny text saying that it was "jumping to" something.

Please, let me know if I can use my data.img from version 3.4 or not. If not, where do I get a new blank data.img? Does anyone have version 4.0 working from SD? I don't have any partitions on the card, I just run all sd version by clicking on CLRCAD and HARET. Maybe I need to download another version of 4.0 to run it from SD?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
all the complaints are for 2 things

1. test place. as I stated before , the builds I release there are for testing in order for me to fix bugs before release publicly, I even set up corresponding thread for each builds to collect bug report and feature reques for next version.

reason I ask reply before you can download is. that is for testing only, I need bug report and etc, if you can not even reply a message, why download it???

2. for the mess of 1st page.

I already accept that it is a big problem, fortunately , I get some ppl help to reorganize it , hopefully it could be done soon.

btw, donation is greatly appreciated, but I never ask for it, believe I'm the only one dont put any donation request on my 1st page.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikemol:
I've asked twice but never got a reply on the data.img file for version 4.0. I understand I need to ask at the test forum. I'm going there now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
have no idea of your question, but if related to the features of my builds, answer should always be yes. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] adityakishoor:
hey..

my mobile data n wifi both r not working....???!!! how do i fix it?????? i am booting from MAGLAR 1.13.... will the mobilefix.14022011 n hotfix.DesireHD.v1.2.nand will fix wifi n mobile data?????!!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
dandiest:

I installed the 2.0 again (really like the fonts and other add ons). Okay, so the first time i did it, as i said, whatever the default ringtone was set, it keeps playing it whenever i lock the phone or goes to sleep automatically.

When i installed right now, it was fine...i mean, it didn't play anything randomly.

I checked the ringtones/notifs and there aren't any included in the build...

so when i added media files on my SD, then it started playing whatever the default ringtone was set to!

rebooted, changed to hastarin kernel...same thing...

The 3.4 included ringtones/notifs within the build....so I am asking where are the media files stored in the root so maybe I could cut and paste the media folder and hoping it will stop playing...

orrrrrrr.....if you could modify the 2.0 so it will include the media files in it....
[HD2 Android SD Development] xenofreak:
can pls someone explain to me how to install this build from sd without magldr? I formatted the sd card with primary and Ext2 (1024mb) and copied both the extracted DesireZ v.3.4 and upgrade v3.5 onto the sd card as described. But with every reboot windows mobile starts :S I know I am a dummy, but what am I doin wrong?:confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] cyber-junkie:
Hy dandiest,

any chance for a future official release of DesireZ v4.0?

(I hope it has fixed Data + fixed Device-Name + working Button Savior + same high Quadrant-score of v2.2 ~ ?)
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
hoss_n2 and paocavallo is helping me revise the 1st page of nand thread, it was always my big headache, to appreciate their help, I will release DesireZ v4.1 here in a while.
[HD2 Android SD Development] wingmann:
I'm with you, Xeno.... I was away from the board for a very short time, and now I feel very, very lost. I don't think I'm that dumb, but... looking at the first post for this thread makes me anxious and confused! (smile). I'm using version 1.0 right now... it works and is my everyday use for the phone. I wanted to try and do 3.5 or whatever - hoping it will be a bit faster - but it's confusing. I downloaded it, and am wanting to boot it with just the SD card (like you said Xeno, no MAGLDR... just the "old way!") and I too, get a reboot to Win Mobile. If someone could do a step by step to to get this to the latest clean version, I'd be so appreciative. There's a step by step for NAND and MAGLDR, so anyone that can do a clear, concise step by step for just doing it the original way -- booting from Win Mobile via HARET?

Again, thanking you all in advance!

Wingmann
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Dandy thank you for the info. For the life of me I cant get 4.0 to boot even after replacing intrd with the 3.5 one. Remains stuck HTC.

Please remember to include the new (Gingerbread?) lockscreen with version 4.1 as a personal favour. Thx bro.... :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] masteroe12:
I'm still using DL DesireZ v3.5 (one partition, dual boot with windows phone 7) and i'm really impressed

about the battery performance (>3 days) and v4.0 should bring more battery improvement, wow !!!

:D

Does it exists a working camera improvement for v3.5?

THANKS A LOT FOR THIS IMAGE ! ! !

MasterOe12
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
Remember I provided a small update to apply that lockscreen in any of my build.

Let me search. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
Btw, the v4.1 is ready and it's my favor now :)

Wait for my new page to announce it :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] paolo.dc:
my thoughts

Dandiest

Yesterday I tried Z 3.4 but personally I don't like it, it was meant for another phone not the HD2 and it stutters whereas 2.0 doesn't.

So far the only 3 things that could be improved on 2.0 are:

1. the power consumption which partly is due to the backlight that is too damn high (in my case I set it at about 10% in DAYLIGHT close to leftmost position on the slider). The phone only uses about 4% of battery in standby for an 8hr period (only phone is on) so I assume the backlight could be the main culprit for high power drainage on use. Can the slider be reprogrammed to lower its output?

2. The radio signal goes up and down with swings higher than WM6.5 underneath with same radio but have had no problem with calls for now.

3. I miss the "System" icon which tells usage of the phone. Now the functions might be there but don't know where.

I am awaiting the 1.2s & 1.2t versions which are not out yet but still I think you should keep 2.0 since it just plain works and the above points are really minor things to change/add/adjust.

Bye

Paolo
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
1.2s and 1.2t were tested for 2day at my test place, and I will use 1.2t to replace 2.0, trust me, you will like it more.

Reason I intend to abandon v2.0 are:

1.It's base on outdated 1.72 HTC ruu

While v1.0 series are based on newest 1.84 HTC ruu

2. So many builds are on 1.72 already, its time for us to move up. :D

{Me looks around looking for the download link...... :D:D:D Cant see it >>>>> :eek: }

:rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Wait a minute...... Will you be starting a new thread exclusively for 4.1 or what does New Page lead us to? Please clarify. :confused:

Please link me to the lockscreen that I seek. Thank you Dandy :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] gerardroid:
well give it to us...wre ready to test:-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] alaindev:
I'm not sure what you're talking about, but if you are surprised that everytime you reboot the phone you are booting WinMo first, then I am surprised that you didn't understand that its the way it should be.

You have installed a SD build, which means your WM 6.5 ROM has not been touched in any way, and everytime you reboot then your phone will boot in WM first. By the way, this is a great advantage of SD builds, because if anything goes wrong in Android, you can quickly go back to WinMo.

Fortunately, you can automate the work to restart Android at each boot by installing an app like EBL (Exceller boot loader). Search here on xda, or google it for more information.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sandymac:
Does this mean that you will now organise your different builds better as it is currently very confusing.

A question on the upcoming v4.1 - what battery life have the testers reported? What battery life are you getting? I stopped using 3.4 as battery life was terrible (even with tweaking everything off).
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
yes, you can see here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11517395#post11517395

many ppl are helping me re-organize the page.

for battery life, I went to sleep last night at 12am with the 100% charged, morning at 8am, it is 94% if i didn't remember wrong.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Seen a download link for 4.1 in that test thread. Now now can I download 4.1 from there or that one is purely Nand build :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:

View attachment update.HTCNewLockScreen.7z

will update it to the 1st page late

[HD2 Android SD Development] adazamim:
Awesome sir Dandiest,

Wishing you and your team the best, and thank you all.

Thanx a million dear dandiest.

Marketing Hint:

It's always crucial how do you manage to show all advantages, benefits and performance of the good you sell.

Another crucial criteria is the "Looks".

One would't buy an original Rolex, just because it is sold out of the box on the street.

Same guy would absolutely buy a Rolex Replica, just because it is sold in a fancy package and from a store.

LOOKS may manipulate and enhance the motivation to buy.

It' a shame if one can't give his original good stuff the LOOKS it deserve.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Thank you. Now I got the sexy lockscreen on my 3.5!! :p

Please confirm whether the 4.1 linked to the thread under construction is same for both Nand and Sd or whether that one is purely Nand build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sandymac:
This certainly looks promising! Can any of the testers indicate what power draw they experienced on standby in v4.1? After all, this is the real differentiator between all the Android builds! ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Hi Ahmed. I could not help but comment about the revolution in Egypt. I trust your HD2 sent a few of those tweets that helped change the history of your country..... :D:D:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
thanks, I always believe i myself cannot do much, and always need others help same as I like help others. :)

thanks for your advice, so i transfer the page design to who is good at it, instead of myself.
[HD2 Android SD Development] adazamim:
Thank you dear playStation :)

Sure it helped, more than you can imagine :)

This mainly was on facebook, as we used to arrange meetings and events.

Twitter helped on the phase after...

You know internet was cut-off Egypt deliberately, on the 28th of Jan.

After it was restored, on the 31st, Twitter took place effectively.

Tweets to/from active members where all over the air, in Tahrir Square.

Where to defend, what's next move and more .....

I was there and never got home (28th Jan - 11th Feb), with my collegues and my awesome HD2, a power station it was :)

Thank you playstation for your interest :D:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] Anthonayy:
Dandiest, is there a way to make the overall font size smaller? Or perhaps larger? I tried the spare parts app, but the font only changes within the app.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Anthonayy:
It's for sd and nand. There are config.txts for sd, nand, and magldr.

UPDATE: Tried 4.1, LUVVVE it!
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Fantastic work comrade!!!! Man 28th Jan to 8th Feb - it must have felt like extended camping except that it was no ordinary campsite. Sorry about that day of madness when the horse riders created havoc. Did you take any pictures with your device? Or maybe there was no time for picture taking.... The world is so proud of you!!!! ;) Please pm me in case we violate forum rules by discussing political/world events......
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Thank you bro. I figured as much but wasnt so sure.... 41% downloaded with my crappy internet speed. I hope data connection does not drop with 4.1. I have to keep on toggling aeroplane mode with 3.5. :rolleyes:

Whaoooh does that quadrant read over 3000 or I am seeing my own things..... :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Anthonayy:
yea I noticed that 3.4 data drops from time to time. 4.1 has yet to drop for me.

Quadrant's over 3000 baby! Lemme try a few more, maybe 3100?

SD Install Issue

Hi all.

First off, great work on this. I do have 2 problems though.

I put this on my SD and got it to boot, but everytime I shut down and then load Android again, I have to go through the first time setup again. I have searched this forum and others about loading Android from an SD card, but I can't seem to find anyone with this issue.

Can anyone help me with this? Thank you!

4.1 hangs on green HTC screen?

I had 3.5 working, I decided to try the 4.1,I formated my sd with FAT32 extracted Desire_Dl to SD root, changed the config.txt.sd name to config.tx. I then manually run CLRCAD and HARET from winmo andit tries to boot but it hangs on green HTC screen.

I tried this without data.img and with 3.4 data.img and it isthe same result. Please help?:(
[HD2 Android SD Development] fiocco:
plz wait it's very long to boot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shaw23:
i have just installed it with my old data.img it hung on green htc screen for around 5 mins then changed to white screen with htc for a futher few minutes. it then took about 2 mins to load my previous data but is running no problems (yet).
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
that's the way to go! shorter boot time if you have a data.img provided in the folder. Looooonger if none provided. mine takes a flat 5 mins on the HTC green screen then once I see the white "Android" then there is peace of mind...

still observing the 2.0....set the alarm last night and when it alarmed earlier, there was no snooze or dismiss button! waaaahhhh.....
[HD2 Android SD Development] shaw23:
I dont get a white Android, i get a white screen with htc in green after the black screen with green. Can u tell me if your data arrows are showing any colour? mine just stay clear as tho there is no data yet i can access f/b etc. one other thing i notice is that after re-starting my phone it takes a while (every time) to prepare sd card then load the data, are u having the same?
[HD2 Android SD Development] akawache:
I left mine on that green HTC screen with black background for at least 15 minutes with existing data.img file and it did not get past that, any help is greatly appreciated.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shaw23:
i have just deleted then reinstalled with no data.img to test this for you and it only stayed on the black htc screen for 8 minutes, it then changed to white htc screen for 3 minutes. so wasnt much longer than doing it with my old data.img. Perhaps you could try it without data.img
[HD2 Android SD Development] akawache:
I just tried it without the data.img and waited 30 minutes no dice, Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing some config? please help
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
If you redo the process, make sure you delete the system.ext2 and only have system.img inside.
[HD2 Android SD Development] akawache:
I think I got it working, It is on the white screen now, All I did was format the sd card again and tried again with my existing data.img and it looks like it is going through. Thanks to everyone that replied trying to help.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shaw23:
i know have no data connection unless i use wifi, any ideas?? also very slow to load from reboot it sais system process not responding, force close / wait, i choose wait and it seems to work but its very laggy.
[HD2 Android SD Development] akawache:
Ok, I got it to boot and applied the mobile fix, the mobile data seems to be working but the signal bars are white not green like they used to be, they do not seem to indicate signal strength. And the arrows on the 2g/3G do not animate while connecting.

Is there a fix for that?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
The HTC white screen in green is fine...there are different versions, meaning, as long as you get past the HTC black screen, that's fine.

arrows did not get colors. but then i switched to strictly wifi...don't use my mobile data since my provided charges me even if i only use wifi...

depends on what you mean by "takes a while," but i think it's natural...let the phone sit for a few mins once you see the lock screen...

EDIT: try always put a data.img whenever trying a new build. from my experience, it booted fastest. when i tried not putting a data.img, it took a long time to boot, plus, the created data.img is very small...something like less than 100mb when i checked the sd and phone storage in settings....

I have reverted to 3.4 and even used the same data.img on the 2.0...it loaded fine, it's just that there are "other bugs" on the 2.0 that gets annoying...but i really really like the 2.0...especially the fone, the circular batt meter, signal effects and the blue highlight...just not working for me no matter what i do...
[HD2 Android SD Development] dadu:
It's supposed to support landscape view. The base of the build is Desire Z - which natively has a sliding keyboard and supports landscape views in sense.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
another observation...using the 3.4 and mdj kernel...i'm charging now via AC and compared to the hastarin kernel, (i think it's the kernel that's talking here), the charging now with the mdj kernel is by 1% increments....as compared to using the hastarin, it charges in 4% increments which i think takes more mA...whenever i used to charge using the hastarin...the mA (in green) goes around 500-600mA, while now, using the mdj kernel, only goes up to 100-300mA...

still figuring out which kernel can provide the best battery life....

and then i'll try the gpc kernel....

btw, does the 3.5 update use the ppp mode? coz in the config.txt for sd, i set ppp=0

so i was wondering maybe the wifi stopped working coz i set it to rmnet instead of ppp when doing the upgrade...
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Does the mobile fix apply to v2.0?

I had a lot of trouble with 3.4/3.5 - so I deleted all of that and went with v2.0 (or whatever the latest 2.x is when you click on the front page link). Everything is very nice, BUT, I have the infamous data connection problem. I deleted the APN and used the restore default APN tool (which, when you go to add an APN, is a choice). That was nice, but still no data. So, I see that there is a data connection fix, but I want to make sure that's compatible with the V2.0 version, because I don't want to mess anything else up. Wifi works great and I've gotten very nice quadrant numbers.

Thanks!!:rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Dandy I applied this lockscreen to Desire Z 3.5 which installs correctly and works very well. But this lockscreen has 2 fundamental problems....

1. This lockscreen does not work with alarms. When the alarm goes off you cannot dismiss, snooze or stop it at all. :D

2. With this lockscreen pressing the menu hardkey (windows button) activates the homescreen ..... :eek:

I believe a user here who was running Desire HD 2.0 mentioned soemthing similar about alarm problem with that rom which also uses this lockscreen.

Please look into this as I really love this lockscreen..... :p

Edit>>>> In the meantime I am now using 4.1. Will give my feedback after I play with it for a few hours. But first thing I noted is that immediately after boot the phone is simply almost unuseable. You need to give it anything between 5 and 10 minutes but after that everything is smooth as butter. Data is there but arrows remain greyed out. Changed kernel and that has been sorted..... :)

Any news about ARA 1.2????????
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
working on it from yesterday, but this build is really tricky, always give me a lot of problem, the v1.1 already spent me a lot of time to get it work.

conclusion is, this build is very much different from either DesireZ or DesireHD, so, I name it DesireARA :)

maybe later later today(hopefully) I upload it to test place for some testing first.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mamdouhn:
Love you dandiest

God Help You with This Arabic Build .......

And With Arabic People :rolleyes:

waiting For A Good News From You Today :)
