What about colored data arrows ? Has anyone been able to fix them?

v3.4 SD WinMo 6.5
[HD2 Android SD Development] colossus_r:
Thanks m8....

If you install the kernel update for the 3.4 file its working ....
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
As far as I know and in my case coloured arrows are only working with kernel H8.6.

But maybe that H8.6 is not supporting ext4. I don't know that exactly, I am using data.img.

With H8.6 LED notification ist not working for missed calls and new sms, but I fixed that with LED me know.

But all other things are working awesome.

DANDIEST, THANKS for this build. It's the best what were and is running on my HD2.

THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND YOUR GREAT JOB AND SUPPORT !!!

[HD2 Android SD Development] KuZeN:
Thanx it`s realy work =)
[HD2 Android SD Development] colossus_r:
I just saw this...m8

That option is in usb debugin option

(When connect the usb cable drag down the top bar and select usb debuging)

colossus
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
Or without cable: under settings > applications > development > stay active

Maybe there are small differences in text, because Im using the german ui.

Hardy
[HD2 Android SD Development] nvandenbosch:
Didn't work for me, it does not recognize the ext4 partitions anymore and therefore it says I don't have enough storage space.

So does thr H8.6 kernel update work with the ext4 partitions on an SD-Card?

Thanks,

Nick
[HD2 Android SD Development] ajape:
I don't understand, is the normal Hastarin Kernel different from the one that came with this Rom as an optional update? And if so, does this ROM's 8.6 update support EXT4 or not?

Has anyone tried Gauner's kernel in this build? Is there an update folder compatible for this build with Gauner's kernel as an update for it?

Hey there, Colossus! :)

And many thanks to you both, I found the correct settings! :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] mav78g:
Just to let you know did fresh install of 3.4 formatted ext4 partition and put the mdj kernel linked by dandiest and everything is super smooth and working even data arrows quadrant bench lower but Rom seems faster, smoother and more stable. Def worth a try (remember fresh install no legacy folders etc)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
@Dandiest

To improve PPP I changed with a .sh to this:

They are also content of the original kernel H8.6.

# Tweak kernel low memory handling for improved PPP data stability

echo 8 8 > /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio

echo 8192 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes

echo 200 > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure

But after restarting there are the default parameters in the files:

32 32 in /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio

2039 in /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes

100 in /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure

I think to remenber that it was in any previous build restart resistent.

How can I make the change in this build also restart resistent ?

Hardy
[HD2 Android SD Development] Ravissant:
Works great now for me. I used to have some performance issues but it turns out my SD card was the problem
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
It doesn't work. That's why dandiest used gpc.. h8.6 doesn't work with ext4, only data.img.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
Found the solution by myself.

Placed the .sh as init.kernel.sh in Update_DL\root\system and did a reboot.

It's restart resistent now.

Inbound Data Connection via Wifi

Hi,

I installed this great ROM on my device and I am more than happy with it.

BUT I just cannot get it work that I can access via Wifi installed Services such as Samba (I installed it) or Wifi Android Manager or just IP Webcam.

Any ideas what I need to tweak? I am lost.

Thanks a lot in advance!
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
I remember I already coded this and some more in.

So, don't think it can make any difference now :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
If I did not remember wrong, you need to insmod cifs.ko or something.
[HD2 Android SD Development] wekxbrainx:
I had the same problem before. Pressing lock and then unlock right away, the screen will light up but entirely black and gotta wait a few second. Homescreen lags when unlocking.

I changed a sd card and it work fine. I don't think it's the class of the card because the class only give you the minimum sustain write speed.

I used atto and crystal mark to check. The r/w speed of the card that lags is 10/5mb but the random r/w is extremely low.

However, I switch to a card of the same class(2) with r/w speed of 7/3 but much faster random r/w speed and it works. No lag at all.

But of course, it's just in my case :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Krishath:
I just installed this ROM by SD and it gets stuck to the lockscreen... what could cause it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ionbasa:
Je deteste:p for wifi it is actualy bcm4329.ko
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
Only for my understanding: What did you code in ?

After changing the 3 files and a reset, vales returned to default.

32 32 in /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio

2039 in /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes

100 in /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure

I took a look in the original H8.6 kernel package, and there is a init.kernel.sh, which contains this changing. Your H8.6 package doesn't contain this file.

It is also working if the name is for example init.ppp.sh.

Important is, that it is placed in Update_DL\root\system and that after executing the update it is in /system

And it makes a difference in download speed in my case, if there are the default values or the other values in work.

Hardy
[HD2 Android SD Development] Krishath:
Solved by taking another initrd.gz file
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
You can open the init file in initrd.gz we developed, and there are several code related to it, moreover, I also did some changes in the init.rc.

With darkstone you simply downloaded it to the sd card ran clrad and haret and you were ready. is it the process for the SD Build. From reading all about the nand I dont think I wanna try it just yet but I love sense. Ive also read some about changing the boot config I tried googling it but this is where it always brings me.

First of all great job!!

just installed Android on SD as described here together with the Update_DL....everything works fine but the notification LED

any ideas? am i the only one?
[HD2 Android SD Development] titoxperiax10:
For me everything works like a charm, the only thing that I have issue is with the colored data arrows, and I have my SD Card (16GB) with only one primary partition FAT32 64KB cluster, I'm running ffrom WinMo 6.5. I post some screenshots behind. I love kernel tytung, but i can't live with minor issue data arrows, for people that using the kernel from Hastarin, how it works? is stable, fast, everything works??... With tytung kernel the LED notifications works for me... If I change my kernel can I revert back ?---

Please be gentle...long time flasher here (WM6.5 mostly), but new to Android. I'm setting up my HD2 to dual boot WP7 and this version on Android. I've been at this all day, trying to format my storage card (16GB) to have about 8GB available for each OS. Everything looks normal on my WP7 half of the storage card and now I finally got this up and running, but it says "Storage almost full" and when I try to explore the Storage Card via Settings, it's not showing as available. Please, I'm assuming this is an easy fix for all of you that have been at this (Android hacking/flashing), so if you could either just say what I need to do, or direct me to EXACTLY where I need to read for this particular issue, I'd greatly appreciate it....it's been a LONG day.

Ping doesn't work

Hi,

it is great ROM. Just found I cannot ping to my phone, so the live camera doesn't work either. Does anyone has same issue?

Many thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] ajape:
Well, it could be at least one of these things: If you have an EXT4 partition on your SD, then you shouldn't make the "update" to the Hastarin 8.6 kernel, it's not compatible with EXT4. Also, it could be that in the config.txt file you left data_img=1 as is but didn't copy one of the data.img (Either the 512Mb or the 1Gb) files to your Desire_DL folder, if you left your config.txt file with that option then you MUST copy a data.img file to your Rom folder.

On the other hand, I see no reason for AD not to be able to see your remaining FAT32 partitioned free space in any case, so I don't really know what to tell you except to try and check those two other possible things first... :confused:

Kernels Update Files (3 Kernels)

Hi all

I have put together the files needed to update kernel in this build

3 Kernel files : gpc-mdj.10.4oc and the Hastarin 8.6 (is the one that comes with the rom)

HowTo Update

1.Extract the kernel file (for example Update.kernel.h8.6.zip) and copy the Update_DL folder to the root

of your SD card (NOT on the Desire_DL ....on the Root).

2. In the folder \Update_DL\update\kernel_files there is a file with name zImage.

Copy that file and paste it to the Desire_DL folder and overwrite the file that is there...

Reboot

This is working fine with SD card version booting from winmo 6.5.

I did not test it with winmo7 and maglar ...

Update:

Added tytung r2 series Kernel

(not tested please report back)

Please Report back if it works for you.

My opinion and some ScreenShots of this Amazing ROM...

Hi all

I have to say a big ..Big thanks to dandiest for this amazing build....

Works like a charm with out any hashes and with a good...very good speed...

What i am running:

Booting from winmo 6.5 running from sd card (1.8gb 2.4gb-for testing) with no partition at all, with data.img.

Why no partition?? Easy to backup...just copy the Desire_DL folder to your PC and done...and most importand ..no big differense in speed.

With 3 partition i had a score of 2350 with out partition 2280...

My pim info are :

1000+ contacts

500+ calendar items

3 e-mails account

200 sms

600+ mp3

1000+ photos.

Working with this for a week in every day use i found that:

1. Its fast and smooth with only 2-3 freezes when trying to do something.

2. I use setcpu to set speed to 1150. In my past experince with overclock a 10-15% up its allways safe.

3. I have test the 3 kernels qpc-mdj.10.4oc-Hastarin8.6....

I use Hastarin8.6 for overall stability and speed...

4. I use the app MyPhoneExplorer to manage my phone ...It does all that HTC sync do a way better. By the way HTCSync works fine in my DesktopPC but no luck in my notebook.

5.A big help for me was the smar shortcuts app from the market. It helps organize the application-boomarks-contacts ect in to folders and put a shortcut of the folder in the home screen...nice and clean

What its not working for me...

1. The led not flashing on sms-call etc.

Solution: Install from Market the app Ledme Now

2. I cant be sure for this because i connect/disconnect my phone to usb all day those days but i think the battery usage its a bit high...i have to test more...

3. ...nothing else that i remember ...

Here are some screenshots

My kernel its the default (hastarin8.6)

I know that for some providers you need to have some settings for data to work

Maybe your provider need to change settings in the settins/wirelles/mobile/vpn settings...

Check with your provider and search xda for the settings

For example if you are with vodafone the search in google with a text like this "android vodafone data vpn settings"

Hi there,

Are you using the stock kernel that came with the rom ?

If yes, then upgrade to the h8.6 kernel that is attached in the first post.

This solves the data problem, I did this too to solve this issue on my phone.

Note: I found battery drain to be higher with it though, doesn't last all day for me while the stock kernel that comes with rom gave better battery life.

Also I find the phone freezing quiet often for a few seconds.

Can someone help new with this please?
