Hi, my build has recently developed an issue. The network or wifi location doesn't seem yo work anymore. For example I was in another city two days ago and the weather showed that city as current, but I've come back home and I can't get it to detect that the location has changed. It still shows the other city as current. Updated weather numerous times, restarted, double checked settings,...

Can't figure it out. Help!
[HD2 Android SD Development] curiousGeorge:
In ES: Settings -> Theme Settings. Themability is actually a FEATURE, not a bug! :) ES does everything the bloated, buggy competition does, but it's a bit faster and more intuitive, too. It also makes a fantastic root explorer and contains a wrapper to play video (plays HD video HW accelerated where the stock player wouldn't in earlier builds), so it really is an all-in-one.

Change Boot Animation

Has anyone had anyone had any luck changing the boot animation. I've tried almost every method except for ADB push, which I am not familiar with.

Any help would be grateful. Thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] xdabart:
OK, fair enough, i still feel we should keep these apps out of these builds, including them can add a lot of noise to the discussion...

Then again, if the developer likes to include the animations he likes and spent some of his time on, fine with me, all thumbs up !
[HD2 Android SD Development] xdabart:
Funny, i used to have the same problem in windows mobile, never in Android, I am pretty sure this is a general problem with these HTC provided weather/news services, not a problem with this particular build. The news widget also is a mystery, both on WinMo and Android ;-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] rodinux:
I have the same problem in PPTP VPN.
[HD2 Android SD Development] linj:
Thanks! That worked very well. (: I guess I didn't read the directions well enough?

Cheers. (:

hi dan,jus wanna highlight to you that maybe you'll want to include this in your update page.as some would like to know if their machine is being overclocked.

fast build btw and working camera!

can someone on tmobile us post about the quality of mms in this rom?
[HD2 Android SD Development] James Harrison:
Landscape sense?.. I have seen it before..

THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR THIS BUILD!! It is the first (out of about 15-20) android builds that actually WORKS.. also the very first to wake up properly!

Anyway is there a way to trick the phone into thinking the slide out keyboard is activated? i saw on another desire z build, a TOGGLE switch that did landscape and portrait. That would be the last thing needed to make this build the mother.

Thanks again D!:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] aftabbabar:
how can I activate the microphone in google search? I would also like to activate it in swype keyboard too.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
ok, i eventually modified the android.policy incorporate with advanced power menu.

will create a total new package this afternoon and upload it soon.
[HD2 Android SD Development] anthnhlt:
How would I go about changing the boot animation? I found it in the bin folder and replaced it but when I restarted nothing happened but a black screen.

That for all of your hard work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jose makalolot:
Not in bin folder but in system/customize/resource
[HD2 Android SD Development] stillbeer:
Landscape togle

+1 that !:p

would be a great thing to see it switch on sensor to ha ha ,

Keep up the good work.

Voice Search

You will need to go to android market and get an app called voice search by google inc. that will activate it for both applications. Hope that helps.

I also have a question about updating roms to the newer releases. This is the only rom I have enjoyed enough to want to keep installing the builds. Do I just take the current data img from my build folder and place it in the new build folder? or is it through and desire_z/update ? any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also liked that swype was incorporated from the get go, Hate to see it go. I will back it up and use it that way though. Still love this build!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] anthnhlt:
Thanks it worked like a charm.

All I get is "SOON……[/URL]"
[HD2 Android SD Development] MuratNL:
Thank you Dandiest for updating, but is the video issue also solved? I mean: Can we now use streaming video and SPB TV without a black screen?

Love your work! :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
Did you also copy zImage from the package to Desire_DL, when you were updating to 8.6 ?

Hardy
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
I got the fastest performance (2700) with Hastarin 8.6. I am using data.img and start with EBL.

But for you 8.6 doesn't work, because no ext4-support with 8.6.

With all other kernels I got only 2100-2200.

[HD2 Android SD Development] nvandenbosch:
When coming from Desire Z 3.4 with EXT4, should I format the ext4 partition first when moving to Desire HD 2.0?

Thanks,

[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
no, it will work just fine. 3.5 isn't that huge of an upgrade :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] nvandenbosch:
OK thanks m8, it works. However, I can't seem to get the data connection to work on any of the versions. DesireZ 3.4 was the last version in which data seemed to be working. I've tried pretty much all I've read here. Does anyone else still have this problem?
[HD2 Android SD Development] rp142:
Try the fix described in post:

[HD2 Android SD Development] colossus_r:
That fix is for roms that have problems with mac addresses been the same on all devices ...nothing to do with wi-fi not working...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Agoattamer:
Thanks dimdimdim. 3.4 and 3.5 are driving me nuts. Data does work after resetting connection. But the minute I try to use the market it drops about 80% of the time. And all the fixxes and kernals spread out on this confusing and unorganized thread don't help. Can't tell if fixxes are for 2.2, 2.5, 3.2, or 3.5. Really needs cleaned up a bit.

I don't see a 3.2 version in the first post anymore. You got a link?
[HD2 Android SD Development] akawache:
Still no 3G

Ok, I updated to Desire Z 3.5, I also applied the data fix and I thought I had it working after I rebooted twice it started to flash back and forth between E and G and it did that for a minute or two, after that which was about a day or so ago I cannot get the HD2 to connect on 3G.

I tried different areas at home at work and all I can get connected at is 2G, also I noticed that the signal strength (The bars) are flaky and seem weaker in areas where I had stronger connection before the fix or the update, I am not sure which could have caused this.

Please help:(
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Have you used the latest update? Try download the current update file and try again. After reboot if still no data toggle airplane mode on and off and your data should come through.....
[HD2 Android SD Development] fabix68:
same problem with 3g data, also I have update the kernal
[HD2 Android SD Development] Maxistar:
Hi,

i just put the update_DL folder into root of my sd card. Inside update_DL there is a zimage file, so do i need another zimage file to upload?

How can i control if i got the right kernel?

Or any other hints?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bighardy:
Additionally you must copy the zImage from the Update_DL folder to the Desire_DL folder on the sdcard and reboot.

You can see the kernelversion under settings > phoneinfo > Softwareinformation.

I need little help. Don't understand how to disable annoying auto rotate of home screen only?
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
This is a Desire Z rom. If you know Desire Z it has a slide out keyboard and whenever keyboard is out everything rotates to landscape to be able to use that keyboard. ;)

But if I am not wrong i recall reading in the thread earlier about replacing the the deafult Rosie.apk with another that disables homescreen rotate. Please search thread. But as a temporary fix you can use the Auto-Rotate widget..... :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Try the attached apk. I have not tried it myself so please save your current rosie.apk before replacing it with the attached file. Unzip then copy the root folder into your Desire_DL folder and reboot...... :)

Problems With MMS

First off love the build I'm having two issues I need help with. 1) Most important receiving MMS messages is a struggle its constantly downloading sometimes i have to restart a couple times to get it to work. 2) Text messages being deleted randomly. I got a new phone flashed put my SD card in and everything was there even the picture messages in my text box(thats great I wish it was so easy for all phones). I am using version 3.4.
[HD2 Android SD Development] pokerdas:
I fully agree with this.

I'm about to give up and stay with WM6.5 because I need to be connected when I leave my place (where I can use a laptop)

This is really a mess with undocumented fixes. I was naive enough to believe that a new release should include all the fixes from previous ones.

Is it true that a vanilla 3.4 upgraded with 3.5 is useless because the internet data is not working ?

The only one that worked for me was 3.4 with H8.6 kernel (which can't use the ext4 I installed on SD!). Is it the only solution ?

I am a simple guy and just want to make it work with SD

Here is my config:

Europe HD2

ROM 3.14.73.2

Radio 2.15.50.14
[HD2 Android SD Development] fatballj:
Wow! :eek:Can't wait to see the new build.

Thanks (For you and all other developers in the forum) for giving our old HD2 a new life. Although I am not in US or EUR and I am new in playing Android rom, please let us know if it is usefull to test, say the new "initrd" or other things so that you can prefect this "world class" rom for the users around the world. Ah.. Ah..

By the way, I hope that you can keep the handwritting input method and include the keyboard with arrow in the new build so that our "non-western" can use your build more convieniencely. :D I will try it immediately when the rom is ready.

An improvement on battery life and 720P recording will become the remaining task on this build.

Would you also direct me to a proper tutorial for the purpose of making partitions on SD Card, the meaning of the term "initrd" or "kernal"? It is good if you can share your recommended settings, say the best size or number of partion in the SD card, using Ext 2 or 4 format etc... in the future so that we have basic guide to use your rom.

Wish you all the best. Thanks a lot.

Bigger data partitions (phone storage)

May be it will help to somebody...

I succeded to run DL DesireDH v2.0 with 3 partitions

have 32G SD

FAT32 - 27G - WinMo6.5/Android

Ext4 - 2G - Android data - Phone Storage

Ext4 - 2G - Android SWAP

(before I tried to run it with 4G partitions and got "Have No Phone Storage" error)

All formating done using regular linux and linux utilities Gnome Disk Utility (linux must be updated to support Ext4)

This is my config.txt

boot_mode=1

format_ext4=0

data_size=2048

ppp_mode=0

data_img=0

swap_mode=0

gps_zone=il

boot_mode=1 - boot from SD

format_ext4=0 - I already done formating

data_size=2048 - relevant if you want to use data.img this is the size of data image (i found it in init script in initrd.gz)

ppp_mode=0 - data connection not worked with setting 0 and 1 this patch fixed data connection (also Wifi become better) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11261128&postcount=58 with this patch ppp_mode= not relevant

data_img=0 - I'm using Ext4 partitions

swap_mode=0 - to use third partitions as SWAP

now all works perfect and I have enough phone storage space :)

Quadrant got 2100 - but I have slow SD card, with same SD I got 1500 - 1600 on other builds.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
OK, I'm uploading the DesireZ v4.0 to my test place now, 2hours already, and have 1hour to go.

in the v4.0 and going forward, more switches have been removed due to the init is more and more intelligent.

now, no need the boot_mode and data_ext4 anymore, system will auto-detect it for you.

for the DesireZ v4.0, have tested all the functions without any issue, the improvement from the 1.85 base are:

1. full languages and locations.

2. battery percentage indicator.

3. all the orange related pre-install softwares were removed, it's more teleco independent.

4. and more for you to discover. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
if the test for DesireZ without any issue (I hope so), will use the same approach to upgrade my DesireHD v1.1 to v1.2 (tomorrow),

and v2.0 (if v1.2 is stabilized, will not upgrade v2.0. ),

then, DesireZ v3.5 to v3.6 (if the v4.0 is stabilized, will stop at v3.5 ),

last will be ARA V1.2. :D

Hope I would only develop on the new 1.83(DesireHD ARA v1.1), 1.84(DesireHD v1.1), 1.85(DesireZ v4.0) base, and discard the 1.72 base(DesireHD v2.0, DesireZ v3.5) totally.

Battery

OK...

I'm running off SD, version 3.4. Nice and quick. The only problem I have is battery related. I've been running this version for about 15 days. I charge over night, unplug at 7.30am and usually by 4.30pm after light use (check fb 4-5 times, couple of short phonecalls) my battery is at 50%. Usually me battery will last a day, but only just.

Is this typicall? Do most users experince similar results?

Oh... I'm also using

1.SetCPU with standby set to 245

2.Advanced task killer set to agressive and every 30mins

3.Approx 14 apps

4. No Sync, No Wifi, No GPS Screen to min, No Bluetooth

Is this the best i can expect????:cool:

That apk application must be in the Update_DL folder not in the Desire_DL...

If i am not mistaken the apps path is \root\system\app.

Make a folder in the root os sd card like this:

\Update_DL\root\system\app and put the roosie apk in that folder and the reboot

Have a full backup before trying to replace system files...

There is a small app in the market for that ...

Search for Font Changer in the market and you will do what you want

Not Enough Space???

I just tried using this build on my SD card. It ran fine initially, but as soon as I tried to install software I started getting "Not enough space" errors. I don't understand that issue at all. I am currently running another SD build without any space/memory issues. I've also tried several other builds without ever coming across that error. What MUST I do BEFORE I copy the Desire_DL folder to the card?

Sorry for the noob question, but I don't get it.

After running my wifi doesn’t work, it show mistake and I cnn not open it.

Is anybody can help me?

My config show as fallow

ppp_mode=0

Is it correct or not?
[HD2 Android SD Development] rhacy:
Check the size of your data.img. I'm guessing it may need to be expanded in order to load more apps. To clarify a little, you can expand your existing 256GB or 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.

SetCPU and Taskkiller might cause issues? Since I removed both my phone is running much smoother and also eliminated random lockups.

Hello,

I am quite new to Android and I tested some builts. This one 3.4 is teh only which workes and it works great. Thanks fro that!

I have maybe a stupid question but I have the ask it :)))

Why do I have so many folders in root of my SD-card? Isnt it possible to make all the subfolders in only one folder lets call him "Desire_DL_Storage" or something else.

But now I have e.g.

.data

data

handcent

LOST.DIR

tmp

maverick

"Not enough space" errors

better way to resize data.img is do it in linux

first make checkdisk:

e2fsck -f data.img

resize: you can write in Gigabytes 1G, 2G... or 512M (4G will get same error)

resize2fs -p data.img 2G

than checkdisk:

e2fsck -f data.img

but more better way is to tel init script to create 2G data.img

data_size=2048

I got same error and did some investigations in init script, there is my result

Dear Dandiest

Thanks for your great ARA version which is by far the most perfect rom i've ever used specially for including the arabic as built in.

Any ETA for the ARA 1.2 version?
[HD2 Android SD Development] nandowom:
For windows users you can use minitool, no more "Not enough space" errors . Minitool will create your sdcard the way you set it up, 3 partitions : 1 - fat32, 2-android data, 3-linux swap ... always create partitions as primary, not logical ! and click apply

Minitool Partition Wizard doesn't support ext4... this is not a problem ... you must specify format_ext4=1 in config.txt to autoformat the second and third partitions, and swap_mode = 0 to use third partitions as swap.

I have a very difficult decision to make on upgrading the builds, and need some feedback.

Option1. Upgrade the DHD v1.1 to v1.2, 1 day.

Option2. Upgrade the ARA v1.1 to v1.2, 1 day.

Option3. Upgrade the DesireZ v4.0 to v4.1, 1day.

Option4. concentrate on the Gingerbread Sense 2.1, maybe 1 week or even more.

Which option should I choose? :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] rebecker:
Is this the same setup you're talking about? If not, which steps change?

-create a fat32 primary "default sector size" Label it Android or whatever you want your sdcard to be labelled as (i called mine 14.3 GB) as this is whats left of my 16gb card at the end. choose a size (your size may very) (this is where youll store all your music pictures documents downloads 'your Android install folder exists here' etc so make this a majority of your sdcard's size... ie: 14.3 gb) click done or okay or whatever the finish button is

-click the grey unallocated space in your sdcard and

-create a Ext3 primary "default sector size" label it sd-ext choose a size (android will reference this as internal memory, it will be used although unseen to you. size ie: 512mb)click done

-again click the grey unallocated space left in your sdcard and

-create a linuxswap primary partition. choose a size (use what's left of your sdcard.. i had 130mb left)
