Great builds

Great works dandiest!!!!

This build (1.0) is so far the most smooth RAM I've ever used.

I tried about like 6 different builds.

I hardly can find any bug in this one.

Almost like it's "officially" release.

I only encounter sometimes the APN can't link to Internet after I open WIFI HOTSPOT or using USB for sharing Internet.

Hot reboot can fix this or just try few times more.

Also is it possible to change the input to Desire HD version with "direction" keys?

Which means with up, down, left and right key.

It's really pain i the ass to touch the right spot with fat fingers like me.

:D

Anyway great work man.

Big Thumb !!!

I have uploaded mediafire file to multiupload. It is SD version.

Desire_Z V2.0
[HD2 Android SD Development] D69K:
oh yeah that reminds me Hastarin kernel were always better in performance then MDJ kernel (for me i don't know about others) but battery consumptions is better with MDJ's (not that i care that much for battery)

with Hastarin's i get crazy Quadrant scores of 2500+ but when i change the kernel to MDJ's (still with the same build) i get about ~1700 ??

it is sad that Hastarin hasn't updated his kernel in a long time !!

[HD2 Android SD Development] law16:
attempted to boot the sd version with MAGLDR worked....it boots to the lock screen then freezes. any ideas?
[HD2 Android SD Development] happyendin21:
Is performance getting better or worse.

No worries.. extract the folder and place both the update and root folder in the desire_z folder or whatever this build is named on your sd card. then reboot the phone and the update should take effect.

I am also curious about everybody's general experience with the most current versions of the rom. I know the nand version is MIA for now. but the sd versions seem to be lagging for me more now then they did before. I really liked the speed we had in the older release version 2.2 Just wondering if anyone else that used the earlier versions is noticing these problems. its just small lags when flipping through homescreens, when pulling down the notification bar, and also when going home or back. I noticed every version after the rotating home screen had more lag. I do like the rotations but not at the expense of performace.... Thanks again for the time and hard work you have put into this rom. I am using release v1.0

Thanks dandiest for your build [1.0 w/o squashfs].... I've just tried yesterday night without the androidapp folder as with a clean build and get all the things done within 15 mins for my both phones.... really really great enhancements caught in this major release.... I love it!

btw, I have also applied the com.htc.weather.apk in the system/app myself to make the sense weather page landscape ;)

I'll try your 2.0 /w squashfs tonight since i 'll be out for the whole day today :p

Camera fix???

First off, i would like to say FINALLY i was able to upload desire_z!!! Runs fast like many said...i do have a problem with the camera. When i take picture(s) it comes out with a slight greenish tone. I did not move any settings for the camera. Is there a fix for this? This is not a problem but more of a "HUH", when i go to SOFTWARE INFO. it says: Android version: 2.2, Build number: MDJ Froyo rEVOlution, Software number: 1.1. In saying i thought it was suppose to be: Build number: desire_z??? I did download the SD build from multiupload from first page this morning......one last thing

@xdabart

Thank you for your assistance!!

+1 I have also noticed that the camera seems to be having problems. I have two kids and like to use my phone to snap quick photos and I haven't been to happy with the camera on this rom.
[HD2 Android SD Development] danielseverin88@gmail.com:
I just tried to load 1.0 (non squashed) with a clean data.img and without the androidapps folder. It goes to the HTC screen for about 30 seconds then restarts itself. What else do i need to do differently?
[HD2 Android SD Development] xdabart:
Did you check that the name of the folder matches that listed in startup.txt ? i always rename the folder to Android, then edit startup.txt. By default this one should be in SDcard\desire_z !
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
the initrd.gz I put into the system.img seems have some problem to initiate the system, I'm testing now, but it's too later (5AM here already), need to have some sleep.

Get back to you later, sorry for that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] danielseverin88@gmail.com:
Thanks so much, I didn't know that. Booted perfect.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rpotcoava:
won't install

I'm trying to install this but after launching the second file it goes black screen with extremely small writing. Last line reads something like "Jumping to ..... (custom)..."

Tried several times, tried redownloading the file again, waited sometimes up to one hour or even more but still can't go over this.

Any idea what might this be?

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] happyendin21:
What version are you trying to boot. Sounds like something is improperly named or missing. Make sure you have renamed your folder to android and edited the line rel_path=desire_z change to android.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hg3atintin:
Cant wait :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] xdabart:
If the problem is not the name of the folder you put it in (read posts above) then the common problem could be missing data.img, which one are you installing, 1.0 or the new squashed 2.0 ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] xdabart:
2.0 version slower ?

Similar feelings here, i have tested 1.0 for a day and i think it is just as good as the earlier releases i have been using all along. Now i am testing 2.0 on a faster SD card than 1.0 is on but it seems 2.0 is a lot slower ???

Maybe the kernel change (hastarin > MDJ) is having some serious impact on performance, it's not just lower clock speed, something feels wrong about 2.0...

Anyone else comparing 2.0 versus 1.0 ? What do you think ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Matrix8756:
The market does not work and no push email.

What's wrong?

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] xdabart:
It would help if you provide a little more info, are you testing 1.0 or the squashed 2.0 ? With version 1.0, lots of people had problems with the market if they used the included data.img, solution is to replace it with a blank data.img.

For me market is working fine in both versions, i always start with a blank data.img...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Matrix8756:
You're right, sorry. The problem is with 1.0. The market does not work and even e-mail push. The rest is good.

Now I'm trying the 2.0 but is a little slower.

Thanks

P.S.

Where can I get a data Image is empty

Thanks again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] xdabart:
I think the one linked in the first post is also blank (1Gdata.7z) the one i use is from a MDJ Desire HD thread somewhere...

With a blank image, you may need to register Google account, use market to install gmail and open it at least once to get pushmail working, unless you also include the included AndroidApps folder, i never do...

If you can't get to the market still, you have a problem ;-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Vilen77:
Here is the kernel from MarkinusXCM61c build. It's work better for me that MDJ (with it I've had a Quadrant processor score better that Nexus One 2.0). I tried it on NAND "imilkas` HD2Z" and it's work fine. Inside is a ADB script for easy installation. If somebody wants to try it, he/she are welcome.

Note: I don't now if it works on SD builds.

G-Sensor calibration doesn't work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] wingmann:
Dandiest,

Hate to bother you with one more question, since you have answered and helped with mine before, but here goes! (and hopefully it is a simple questin to answer..)

Where do I download, or how do I get the THEME you show in your build? When I use your supplied 512 data.img it is already there (and I love it!), but if I use a new one (i.e. use the 1 gig data.img) I only see the standard themes/wallpapers.

If it can't be done, then so be it. I am happy enough using the 512 data.img and it has been my everyday-use build now for some time! Thanks for this so much.

Wingmann

p.s. I was your first donation person -- and as soon as end of month comes, I'm going to do it again! Your time and efforts are WORTH IT!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Sean3:

[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
Haha, I just get up, sleep too later yesterday. :D

There is a AndroidApp I provided in previous package, and the theme is inside it: com.htc.skin.CommonSense-1.apk, just install it, and there are some more skins in the package named com.htc.skin.distINCtion-1.apk, com.htc.skin.MattedBlues-1.apk.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jaguaralani:
Hmmmmmmmm,

I tried V2 ( squashed ), it seemed slower than V1 (non-squashed), not only in Quadrant which I don't really rely on it, but the overall performance, perhaps it is kernel related....

BTW, I used the Data.img from V1, and it worked without any problem !

@Dandiest,

Mate, the folder ROOT/SYSTEM/SQUASHED is a R/O folder, can it be made R/W ? or should it be R/O only ?

How to extract the file

Hi, I just downloaded the file (Both squash from mediafire).

How do I extract it?

I tried to rename it to extension ".7z", it won't work. It also happen if I rename the extension to ".rar"

Thank you very much.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
Can you try the kernel by Vilen77 above?

The squashFS is readonly, you can not change it anyway, but the symbol link is provided, you can just overwrite the link with your new file or even remove a link.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rhacy:
You can expand your existing 512GB data image to 1GB or even 2GB, by using the DATA.IMG Maker app by Viper Matrix Wireless. Just remember to keep the expanded size at no more than 2GB total.

Here's a link to the app and more info:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824154

Also, many thanks dandiest for sharing your squashed desire z sd build. So far, everything appears to be working fine here with a clean 512GB data image booted and tested a few times, then expanded to 1.3GB and loaded up with a few hundred apps and games. Although, as mentioned in previous posts, the system seems to be a little slower than your previous versions. With the included mdj kernel and SetCPU running at 245/1190, the quadrant scores here have been in the high 1600 to high 1800 range, and the standby battery drain has logged in at -5 to -8 mAh most of the time. Anyway, just wanted provide some feedback and say thanks again.

Cheers,

R
[HD2 Android SD Development] jaguaralani:
The source of the kernel is not much trusted ( no offense ).......

w\So you think that th squashed one should have a better performance ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] rhacy:
I just highlight part 1 & 2, then right click, then select 7-Zip to extract, and done.

Here's a link to 7-zip if you do not have it installed already:

[HD2 Android SD Development] wingmann:
"R",

Wow, thank you for this suggestion! I am downloading it now and will try it! (and learn something new in the process!) I am sure this will solve my need in this respect. I do hope Dandiest still answers my question as to how the THEME and or WALLPAPER can be procured, as I have read in other (much earlier) posts that some people were wanting it. Luckily not a high priority thing -- I know he has a LOT of other things on his plate to take care of than this! (grin). I hit the "thanks" button for you sir!

Take care,

Wingmann
[HD2 Android SD Development] shree.cse:
Are you going to update the Nand build?

What's the progress?
[HD2 Android SD Development] rhacy:
Wingmann, did you download and test out the prior dandiest desire_z V1 release? As dandiest replied to you above, the theme apk files (that you're looking for) are in the V1 Release AndroidApps Folder. That said, to see them, you need to look in V1 AndroidApps Folder just after you extract it on your PC or HD2, and before first boot, or else they will be installed and the folder will be gone. Anyway, once you pull the specific theme apk files you want out of the fresh unbooted V1 build. You just install them like any other normal app..

Hope this helps... And... thanks for the thanks.

Cheers,

R
[HD2 Android SD Development] ccmks:
Thank you very much. It works. The moderator did not explain it. He better explain it cause not many people know how to do it.

WIFI Hotspot and touch input key

I tried both 1.0 and 2.0

I don't feel 2.0 is slower since my 1.0 is getting lagging after installed 20 apps.

But for both version,

I suddenly can not sharing my 3G internet to my computer.

And after I turn on wifi hotspot, even my phone can't use internet.

Sometimes google browser can but market can't.

Totally strange!!!

Also anyone know hoe to change the input key to Desire HD version?

I need the direction navigation keys so bad !!!

Anyone~?

Hi I am using the 1.0 release and am trying to change the boot animation the the R2D2 boot animation I have the file and I have extracted the update folder to the desire z build folder and replaced the bootanimation.zip with the file named bootanimation.zip then rebooted.

I've made the same and worked (used a mdj 1GB from an old HD thread). Version 2 is really slow compared to 1 wich is the fastest Z/HD build i tried, yesterday i compared it with the real desire hd and although i have dozens of app's installed my hd2 was performing fast just like the desire, only waking up took 100ms more :).

But there are still some cons, i've installed titanium and FC, fix permissions reboot and titanium worked fine, then instaled app protector (no nosy eyes on my email) FC, fix permissions and was ok, instaled xtralogic and run ok until i tried to connect the rd client i configured i've get FC and permissions didn't resolved, so now i'm sad because i've to go back to 0.3.. wich is a little bit slower than this but everything works.

Many thanks for the time you spend trying to make it perfect it's really appretiated on this side.

Edit:

Uninstalled RD, and installed again and now it works...

Hi everybody,

today I tried to install the 2.0 "squashed" version, but extracting the 2nd archive (~57mb) does not work (neither with 7zip nor WinRar): Everytime I tried it there was an error message saying "The file ... could not be opened as an archive".

Extracting the .001 file does only create the "desire_z" folder.

And i agree, version 1.0 is much faster !
[HD2 Android SD Development] rhacy:
That's strange. I just highlight part 1 & 2, then right click, then select 7-Zip to extract, and done. Are you highlighting both files at the same time? Also, maybe try downloading the files again and then give the extraction another shot.

On a related note, I've tested V2 with a fresh data image expanded with DATA.IMG Maker and loaded via Titanium, as well as with my old data image that I've been using since V0.2, and both work fine. Anyway, hope this helps others save some reload time.

Using 7Zip for windows, i can just click on the first file and it wil unpack both, works just like winrar you could even have a sequence of dozens of parts, just put them in the same folder and open the first in 7Zip.

Maybe people are just confused because it is a split archive ? I see no problem.
[HD2 Android SD Development] tuccc:
New thing to learn today. I didn't know I can do that. Usually I see rar /7-zip split files have something like this part1.rar, part2.rar so on, not rar.001, rar.002. That's why I said it has to be joined 1st (I did). Thank guys.

GPS Fix - we need to change gps.cnf !

I just found out, that in my current V 1.0 config, the /system/etc/gps.conf file contains this line:

So, everyone here using this build is by default using a NTP server in Singapore :confused:

Using ES file explorer, i am trying to edit and overwrite this file, but it seems to be protected, grrrr...

dandiest, if you read this, maybe you can change the default to global NTP pool ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] happyendin21:
Well it sounds like there is a problem with your zimage (kernel).

Check to make sure that you have a zimage in the folder. If it isn't working try the download again and make sure the zimage is in the folder. Good luck!

R,

Again you come through! Thank you, sir. I think I am all set! I have the THEME's apk saved and I downloaded the data.img program you suggested and expanded my 512 file to 1 gig. Life is good, yes? (smile) I see on the front page that there is a newer version of this ROM that Dandiest uploaded (v. 2). Some posts with that regard are describing it as a little slower -- with MDJ's kernel instead of Haristan's. I think I'll leave well enough alone (staying with the version I have), unless you have any opinions? (see... I'm already valuing your opinions and knowledge!) Good day to you and all!
