[HD2 Android SD Development] method2madness:
Ok. So first of all, I want to sincerely say thanks to all the developers and/or cooks. Especially darkstone. :) Without you, Android on the HD2 would be just a dream.

But here's my issue. I have used almost EVERY SD/RAM build available and every single one does something the other doesn't do. In contrast, it also breaks something the other doesn't break as well. For instance, this build, on paper is perfect. It fixes the wifi tethering most others don't have working yet. In fact the only thing that I couldn't get working is MMS. BUT! It's got some major dealbreakers:

-

STORAGE:

I had the typical SD unmounted problem and had to re-format with sdformatter and start fresh. This worked, but none of the other builds had this issue, so it's a bit annoying.

-

SPEED:

The whole interface is QUITE slow and laggy. Quite. ESPECIALLY after installing a program from Market. I have both RAM builds and SD card builds and none were as slow as this. It sometimes takes a good minute or two to get back to a usable state after program installation. Bootup is faster, but you still have to wait at least a minute to be able to use the device once it's booted.

-

MARKET

: 8 times out of 10, I have to completely clear program data to get anything to download from Market. Not clear cache, but delete program data.

-

Multicon widget

completely makes the build unusable. When it's not stuttering and lagging, it's causing Sense to FC and restart.

-

SMS

: SMS is not working. I don't understand why this is so difficult to get working on all the builds. I have tried EVERY APN setting known to man for both TMO and Simple Mobile and none work. Well that's not entirely true. Once in about 50 tries, a message will go through and/or I'm able to receive. This pretty much confirms, it's an issue with the ROM.

I guess my question is, why can't the cooks and developers work together to create a full working build on most, of not all HD2's?? I realize there are different hardware versions (LEO1024, T-MO LEO and LEO568) and that people use different radios, etc. But if there were a set of prerequisites (i.e. Radio, Wmo build, etc) for a single working build, this could all but eliminate fragmentation on the radio/WinMO level. Once you got a fully working build as a base framework, *then* you could start adding customizations, Sense, etc. Kind of how desktop Linux builds work. I'm not even going to TOUCH NAND builds, until/unless they have a 100% working build. It just sucks to spend HOURS setting up a build the way you like it, only to find something doesn't work or usability is nil. And then you have nothing to fall back on, unless you reflash a Winmo ROM and start all over again.

Now before you jump all over me and call troll, I have donated to both SD cooks and NAND cooks and honestly DO appreciate the work they have done!

I have a new username, but have been around quite a while and have NO problem helping out any way I can (Alpha testing, etc). It's just very aggravating to go through builds like water and STILL end up with only a partly working phone. Especially when the problem was solved on other builds.
[HD2 Android SD Development] gencaslan:
Yeah..cooks should put their effort together. I would rather like to see 5 fully workin rom than 50 bleeding edge roms.
[HD2 Android SD Development] method2madness:
Exactly. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] dlortz:
Did anyone else get a system update notification recently? I can't believe that it would actually work to update SuperRam, and I was too chicken just to fire it off for the heck of it.

Dave
[HD2 Android SD Development] method2madness:
Yea. But I didn't accept it. I'm thinking its not such a good idea.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JLamy:
From yesterday I have lost functionality of all the system sounds, ringtones and notification sounds!

When I go to Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone, I get the phone ringtone box but no list - just the OK and Cancel buttons. Same goes for the Settings > Sound > Notification sound.

Any ideas, before I have to wipe and reinstall a fresh copy?
[HD2 Android SD Development] method2madness:
Sounds like your microsd card is unmounted. Are you able to access any files on your card?
[HD2 Android SD Development] pittas:
Dont worry mate , for every 1 that thinks you dont care , there are 10 others who thank you for getting android that far on hd2.

Take care
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
Hey guys,

small update for people with MAGLDR.... LeTama just replied back and told me that he is working on this to get it working :D

So, dont give up hope yet :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] g0t0:
First time using this build.

1) SD "umount" notification at all of my startups, including 3 separate re installations. This keeps me from installing any apps.

2) LAAAGGGY and slow responses on all apps already on the Android.

3) 1.15 min from WnMo to Android.

While I applaud the build and hope it gets better, I'll stay with darkstone's SuperRAM FroYo v1.5 until this one works itself out. Thanks for the hardwork and dedication, Darkstone.:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] JLamy:
Yes I can. Music player still plays files off my SD card, and I can browse all the directories on the SD card using Dual File Manager. Still no rings or alerts. Think I might go to SuperRAM Froyo 1.5
[HD2 Android SD Development] xx2dxtremexx:
I was wondering if anyone figured out the mms issue? I love the build very awesome but cannot send mms messages and is especially frusterating?????
[HD2 Android SD Development] ketzazu:
You always give us something that we can use daily for a long time. Do not pay attention to those who want perfection from you. If someone wants perfection he/she should buy an android phone.

Take your time. And prioritize your studies.

On standby, my HD2 with V0.1 drains at 2.5 to 3% per hour with bluetooth enabled.
[HD2 Android SD Development] letama:
Hello guys!

Here is the modified initrd.gz to boot it from magldr, it works fine on my hd2.

To use it, copy it to the android directory with an appropriate kernel. Current kernel doesn't have rmnet compiled in, you need one with rmnet compiled statically if you want data.

I also had the sdcard issue, I fixed it with the attached vold.fstab, current one does only works if sdcard is partitioned. To use it, you can push it to the device with adb like this:

adb.exe push vold.fstab /systemboot/etc/vold.fstab

I presume it also helps for haret build.

I'm uploading my full magldr sd setup for people having trouble doing it, it should be available soon.

Thank you So much LeTama :D

Me and the community appreciate your help.

Thanks again
[HD2 Android SD Development] prag16:
This ROM is overall working great. My only real issue is that the web browser is VERY prone to freezing. This is not a problem I've had with ANY other SD build. It generally won't happen on mobile sites, but when viewing full web pages and scrolling/zooming it will freeze about 50% of the time within 30 seconds. The other 50% it may hold out longer (especially if i minimize zooming/scrolling) but then still freeze. Once in awhile I can do what I want to do, and exit without having had a freeze.

The behavior is that the screen is frozen and does not respond to touch or hardware buttons (even power button). Sometimes it'll 'unfreeze' after several minutes, usually I have to pull the battery.

Anybody else seen this and/or have any ideas? Thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] gencaslan:
It boots and works perfectly, thanks again LeTama...but after i installed a few apps with Titanium backup it keeps showing me the Error-Notice that the SD-Card was removed. Might this be the same issue that you came across ?

After a reboot still the same..

PS : I tapped on the sd-card-notice and after that it disappeard.

...
[HD2 Android SD Development] letama:
You are with magldr ? My full zip or just pushed vold/initrd files ?

So, when you booted, you didn't get the message and it came after ?

Can you check content of /system/etc/vold.fstab ? You should have at the end a line that says:

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1

If not, there is something wrong...

I'm just having a play now.

I had some problems with the SuperRam v1.5 but really can't do without Sense. I'm too used to it.

Tried the many different builds of the Desire HD rom, which I LOVE, but they've all been far too slow on my phone.

Ram version is looking good. Not found problems so far, mobile data seems working (touch wood). Will put some apps on and restore old data to see how we go.

Great work!
[HD2 Android SD Development] crowbarr:
Is anyone else having trouble with their SD card saying it is safe to remove after boot? I can't access it either, so its been dismounted. I tried mounting it from settings, but no joy. When I reboot, media process FCs and Gmail process FCs.I have been using the non-sense version as a daily driver and have been very pleased with it. I hope someone can help me with this dilemma. I will try re-download and reinstallation.
[HD2 Android SD Development] s_john8686:
BIG thanks to Sifu darkstone !! :)

I have been using your earlier v3.2.7 since ..... as long as I started using Android :)

Just one question (pls allow me to ask), how do I get the Chinese hand writing working ? Of is it working in the new rom ?

Now almost finished downloading :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] johnejohn:
Same issue

Same here. SD card not recognized. Everything seems to be working perfect. No issues other than with SD card.

After boot it says safe to remove SD card. When try to mount nothing. Any solution would be hugely appreciated.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Krendelrus:
same issues

cant mound sd card
[HD2 Android SD Development] jae-v:
confirming no sd mount...htc wallpapers empty in setting

Umm that's weird I didn't get any problems with it, only issues is when I try to download HTC widget it says download complete but never is in HTC widgets.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shree.cse:
If DesireHD Ram sense is not possible, we have to wait for the HTC to incorporate New Sense features to old Desire Rom, which they said earlier.
[HD2 Android SD Development] puunda:
My SD card was not mounted when booted. Restarted twice, same thing. Tried to mount in settings, still nothing. When I try to take a photo, it says "Please insert an SD card"
[HD2 Android SD Development] crowbarr:
When I tried to mount my SD on my computer, it gave me issues which forced me to reformat it...possible corruption issue? Waiting for download to finish and will try a reinstall. I'll post results.
[HD2 Android SD Development] optiknerv:
No SD mount problems for me. I have booted into the build no problems, installed stuff that I wanted to, restarted and booted into it again and SD is fine. I can confirm GPS works. Data is fast and stable (what I have used so far). I can confirm that there are no HTC wallpapers which is no bug really just not included. I can also confirm that trying to add additional HTC widgets is not possible. It downloads the widgets and displays the "Download Complete". This is promptly self cancelled but the installation never initialises :confused: Apps from the market download and install fine.

Oh BTW for reference I am running this completely fresh. Freshly formated SD which has nothing on it but android (I carry two, one for WM one for Android) and I have not restored anything using Titanium Backup or anything.

I stand corrected about the HTC wallpapers they are just not showing up! Doesnt matter though as you can get them through other means.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Sentinel196:
I'm also having trouble mounting the SD card. :(

Unable to replace hosts file

I cannot update the hosts file with a custom file. I've put the hosts file in SDCARD/Android/root/system/etc and it wont work. I did the exact same thing with the same hosts file on the non-sense ROM by darkstone and it was working.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Android SD Development] aarong1174:
i think this build is Awesome...faster than most other sense builds imo..Gr8 Job...Just wish i could get MMS to work on Tmous...Thanks for the efforts
[HD2 Android SD Development] colossus_r:
wrong thread ..sorry
[HD2 Android SD Development] ozkaya:
I also have this freezing browser problem. I hope it gets sorted out, because everything other than this is great.
[HD2 Android SD Development] gencaslan:
Yes i'm booting from magldr and I used the full zip. i renamed the folder to _dsSense.

Yes exactly...by the second boot. I used it on the first boot for like an hour or so. No such message.

Exactly the same.

But its not a big deal...everytime i tab on it, it dissappears and works again fine.
[HD2 Android SD Development] letama:
Quite strange. I rebooted multiple times without any message. And sdcard is mounted properly in /mnt/sdcard ?

I guess you have a different sdcard format. I'd need logcat to try figure out what's wrong, but if it works fine...

LeTama
[HD2 Android SD Development] xx2dxtremexx:
Anyone know if the mms works for tmobile us on this build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] theshiznet2004:
nope....at least I haven't read that anyone has gotten it working....

I haven't...it would be perfect if it did though....
[HD2 Android SD Development] Derek0228:
Any fix for it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Derek0228:
Naw, DS it really is great, the best Sense build on sd, my build of choice to dual-boot with wp7. I just absolutely love the booting time and the battery usage. I wish you success in uni, but i hope that you can fix these little bugs left when you have some time ;)

Thanks darkstone (:
[HD2 Android SD Development] Derek0228:
Letama may i ask you, is it compatible with extended battery? Btw thanks for your continous efforts.
[HD2 Android SD Development] xx2dxtremexx:
Anyone figure out how to get mms messages ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] thefatalrisk:
Has anyone been able to use a modified host file?
[HD2 Android SD Development] letama:
I don't think git has extended battery support. You can change kernel if you want, you just have to make sure that it has rmnet built-in. You will have to copy the corresponding bcm4329.ko to /systemboot/lib/modules and reboot to get wifi working though.

Gmail application does not synchronize

I have tried android on HD2 for the first time thanks to Darkstone's excellent ROM. I'm very happy with it, :D except for a small issue.

The Gmail application does not synchronize. Does anyone else have this issue?

I tried clearing the data cache and tapped the application icon again, but all I get is a message stating that the mail is geting synchronized, and nothing happens then.

I can go on the web and login to gmail.com to access my gmail, but if the application works, it will be more useful.

I tried searching this thread, but nobody seemed to have mentioned this as an issue.

Thanks for your help, in advance.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rosedog:
OKAY...After doing a reinstall of this version of Android again you'd think I'd know how to set the weather in Fahrenheit easily. WRONG!

So for making it simple to search in the future for other HD2 to Android n00bs I'll post it here since this is the only version of Andriod I have ever used.

1. After you get the Weather HTC Widget placed on screen select it.

2. Touch the newly placed weather widget.

3. Now select the Windows physical button (middle button), that will bring up a set of options.

4. In the new set of option select "settings" in the lower right hand corner.

5. You will be brought to a new screen that will show you the "Temerature Scale" - Select it to change your setting from Celsius to Fahrenheit!

This by far was one of the hardest things to get set in Android.

Hope this helps someone.
[HD2 Android SD Development] curiousGeorge:
What was the "bug fix" you made to your other SuperRAM ROM that gave you benchmark results over 4,000? Surely that'd be interesting to many users!
[HD2 Android SD Development] nestleomega:
I have tested some SD android and all of them really sucks in terms of speed and smoothness. this is my third day using this build and i have no issue except for the mount/ummount of the SD card which requires me to type in the command in terminal before i can mount.

other than that, i really have no issue with this ROM and im hoping it stays the same for the few days to come. thank u darkstone!

Btw folks, i never tried any NAND android yet, but u guys think its faster than this SUperram?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jcsy:
just to remind you that quadrant doesnt mean nuts

at 4000, the speed was the same as how it is now :D

its just fooling the system to obtain higher scores, just to parade ;)

be reminded that benchmarks are nothing until you see actual performance.

my superram1.5 is running at 1500 quadrant but its faster than a 2100 quadrant ROM

Help me find a GPS fix

Hi.

I read that the gps fix was in the thread but i cannot find it.

If somebody can post the thread or tell me how to fix it i'd be very

happy.

I'm using Darkstones superram with sense.

ITS AWSOME, No problems except cannot send or receive

photos in MMS which isn't that important to me, what is though

is using the Navigation and Googlemaps Navi GPS.. And i cannot

whatsoever, I can't get a lock AT ALL..

If someone could help me, please do...

Thanks. If i'm posting this Q in the wrong place, forgive me.

Show me where to post....

Thanks.

Blessings.

Update -

Found the problem, removed the wpa_supplicant.conf file in data/misc/wifi folder.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Debbus:
I've installed this build twice, and yesterday, for the second time, the phone rebooted itself and when i got it back into android the same message appeared over and over: "android.process.acore does not function properly and had to be closed" (something like that). After I dismiss the message it comes up again almost instantly, making the phone unusable. Only option I found is to reinstall the android build.

Why does this happen? And what can we do about it? I love this build but this is the second time this happened to me after a week or so of steady use and I'm afraid it will happen again if I reinstall.

Does anyone else experience this problem?

(I'm running latest stock winmo rom and radio, this hasn't been the cause of any problems yet, but I don't know if it may have something to do with this)

well i have problem here....

my device cant see storage card with this build...

any 1 can help me?

Try another SD card, or reformat it with SD formatter.. same happened to me..
[HD2 Android SD Development] jadrobe:
I believe it's a known problem. I had the same issue as well. I experimented and tried this ROM yesterday and had the same error as well. Of course, I know there's nothing wrong with my sd card coz I'm using his other SuperRAM ROM and have no issues at all...

too bad. the moment i installed this the response was insanely fast-- what I was looking for in a sense rom....given the bugs, i'll wait for his new releases! And I'm sticking to his SuperRAM rom!

No Sound

After my first load (I use Exceller Android Loader) I had sound for 2 or 3 minutes and then nothing except FM Radio via headphones.

I have reloaded and launched a number of times but still no sound. This seems to happen on all new releases, on this and other builds.

I'm using radio 2.15.50.14 which seems to work for everyone else - any ideas?
[HD2 Android SD Development] tsak8:

hi,

is there any way to make the font size smaller like in desire hd builds, i mean e.g. the settings menu the horizontal buttins are bigger than the ones in the desire hd buils is there a setting to make it look similar?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ntpphong:
The in call sound is pretty low, and is there an option to add the robot voice? i dont have any..
[HD2 Android SD Development] rosedog:
lol - There is no "option" to add the robot voice, it can be a problem though. I also wouldn't call it a "robot" voice only because it sounds more like a Jawa from Star Wars.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rosedog:
I'm gonna make mention of this while I'm at it. This is the 3rd time I'm reinstalling this build.

The first time was fine until the market wouldn't open. After that reinstall everything was fine until a few days ago when google search would not work. It kept asking for my location authorization (I allowed) but nothing would happen. Then today I went to boot up android, got the HTC logo and then nothing. Just a blank screen.
[HD2 Android SD Development] EngineerMind:
Wallpaper directory?

Hi,

(I already did a search for "wallpaper directory" and didn't find any meaningful results)

I am new to running android on my HD2, which is VERY cool btw!, so this may be a newbie question...

I like this build due to the start-up speed and having build-in HTC sense. But I want to assign a static (non-live) wallpaper to the homescreen to save battery juice, but it doesn't look like this build included any still/static PNG wallpapers (at least selecting "Wallpaper Gallery" or "HTC wallpapers" doesnt show much of anything).

So, I have a few questions:

1) So the wallpaper will properly scroll left and right as I switch homescreens, what screen size should the wallpaper PNG file be?

2) What directory should I put my wallpaper files in so that when I select "Wallpaper Gallery" or "HTC Wallpapers", it will just show me the PNG files I put in this directory.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
