first paragaph - Fantastic news... good to hear from magldr users that the build is still booting and working for them :)

second - we know about the leds... as preiously mentioned cyanogen took the led manager out of the build... (temporarily) as it was most likely breaking something else... they will add it back in.. until then leds cant be configured.. but function properly. (an led lights takes amazingly LITTLE power to operate, don't worry its not eating up your battery by being on)

third. - can't say that I've even heard of that camera program b4... will look into it, but best I can say is bug the dev of that app about the offset on the screen... technically, he should be writing his app for ALL sizes of screen and not just a lcd density of 240.

Thanks for your interest in our work here. Much appreciated!.

Also ANOTHER confirmation that my partition guide is still good to use ... and not messing with our sd build :) THanks! for this info.

Moving forward, whats the best process to install your new build (namely AmeriCan....) on release

Here's my current layout...

Do i need to re-format all three partitions, or just the main fat32.

Are the ext3 and 'other' ok sizes (i just took a stab thinking more is better ) or is there a recommended sizing format.

ps - it's I to be thanking you and not the other way around... :)

cheers
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
to be honest all you really have to do is copy the new build files overtop your existing ones. better yet, backup your data.img. remove the android folder from your sdcard. copy the new build to a /sdcard/Android folder... and if you want to .. copy your data.img back. you shouldnt have to format anything for just updating the build.... however if you run into problems that you just can't solve etc... then format JUST the fat32 partition. leave the other ones alone. :)

hahah

nope. Thankyou!

2 major issues that should be resolved to make this build perfect

Hey Cope,

First of all thank you so much for this great build, I've been using it since it came out and I update it as soon as you release an update.

Two major problems though, one is the power drain of the Feb 01 build, very high, it kills the battery really quickly, but I think you guys figured out what was causing it.

The other thing is one that affects EVERY single build that uses PPP, the data disconnects and u have to manually turn it on and off. This is the most irritating problem of Android on the HD2, I take the train a lot and I lose reception quite a bit and the data never comes back. I'm not sure if it's fixable at this point because I've seen so many builds that had this problem that I'm wondering if I should just stick to RMNET.

Other than that this build is perfect. Everything works great .

Thanks again for all the hard work, it really shows.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jiggahj:
sick build

only thing is wifi doesnt scan/update properly for some reason, sooo i have to turn it off and on not a big problem but..
[HD2 Android SD Development] strikernl:
1) I have magldr 1.13, so that should be newest.

2) Have done that as well, otherwise it gives an error such as "SD Kernel Open Failed". So it does load the kernel, it just doesn't seem to boot it

Here is exactly what happens:

ANDROID LOAD at 11800000
[COLOR="Lime"]from MicroSD[/COLOR]
Load zImage
K: /ANDROID/zImage
Load initrd.gz
I: /ANDROID/INITRD.GZ
[K]11808000:31FA4C [I]12200000:1D0137
Load done!
123456
GO GO GO!

At which point nothing at all, does in fact GO.

I could, if you like, look in the other thread, but I usually have a horrible time getting answers from people ;)

Thanks for your help so far anyway!

Data Issue

I have been playing with the latest build all morning and did not have a data issue until I turned on wifi and did a bit of browsing then turned it off and now can't connect.

I had been downloading stuff from the market and using the internet no problem with my data connection until I got home and connected to wifi.

I have rebooted my HD2 and now I have data connection again :-)

Not sure if this has been mentioned before.

My set up is in my sig (except android build is the lastest one ). Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Thanks again for a great build!!

Is there no way to get the DNS values from DHCP?
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
It's a touchy subject ;)

I say - without those settings, I've got data drops.

That's all.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
3. GPS doesn't work - even after rename gps.leo.so to gps.htcleo.so

It's just nothing new. I am looking forward new build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ataf:
need a new version, plz :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Oh yes, we do need a new version ;)

I watched last episode of Caprica , I am bored...
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
UPDATE!

you wish is my command. :)

guess whats uploading to multiupload... as I type this?

UPDATED! check the first post :)

Oh goodie goodie goodie :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Now as far as this release goes. I'm still using Jan 29(2) and it seems to be working well out of the box. I just need to find a way to sync my contacts in outlook with this as easily as I can with HTC Sync and I'm golden. Any thoughts on this? My preliminary searches revealed a buncha market apps that didnt work or cost money and still didn't work right.

Also I tried using TitBackup to restore my contacts/sms data from my Froyo build but it doesn't work. Everything imports fine as far as TitBackup knows, but when there are no contacts or SMS's even after a restart. Is this a consequence of going from 2.1 -> 2.3? Is it a Sense thing? Anyone?
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
There is no 'on-the-fly' solution, or as you mensioned there are ways but paid and flakky ;)

My way it was: export Outlook contacts to csv file, import them in gmail.

All you loose this way are pictures and ringtones associations.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
JUst! Thanks for the interest in our build.

1. time for u to update to the new build. the new one has improved a lot since the jan29.2 build

2. if you are still running win mo I can easily help u sync ur contacts.

in the first post i have a link to the faq.

in the faq there is a section about syncing winmo contacts to ur google acct. its very easy and tajes less then 2 mins.

then once they are sync'd from winmo to google, you just boot android and sync .. BAM! all your conatcs

winmo as u know.. syncs with outlook .. so you shold be golden :)

EDIT I saved you the time of finding it.. u owe me one :) (and since it links to a post that I wrote .. the contact sync how to.. you owe me 2.. lolol) jk

Want to sync your winmo contacts with android?

In under two minutes you can sync your contacts TO google from windows mobile

and then boot to android, sync with google and BAM your done. NO LOSS OF INFORMATION or FORMATING!!

Found here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7700429&postcount=2752
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Interesting. Contact pictures are transferred also?
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Hmmm. This is what I feared. I don't want my numbers associated or entered at all into the google cloud. I was hoping for a local/internal solution. HTC Sync is freaking awesome but I think its only for Sense enabled devices.

I mean if someone just copied the HTC Sync app and put it in the marketplace, that person would become rich. I'm just surprised there isn't a tried and true solution for Outlook Synching.

I want to also confirm that whats blocking the HTC Sync is the lack of HTC Sense on the device. Also if backed-up contacts in Froyo are NOT compatible with Gingerbread.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Thanks Cope, I'll see if I'll use that as a plan Z if every single thing I investigate falls through.

But also, If I get a confirmation that HTC Sync is ONLY for Sense enabled devices, then i'll just have to wait till theres some sort of update for it or a new rom built around sense. it kinda sucks though, because the performance on my Copes build is phenomenal. I already thanked you twice, any more would seem groupi-ish haha. I think I'm gonna show warren some love for his hard work!
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
the second you make a call on your android phone.... "the number is in googles cloud".. lol i wouldnt worry about things like this.. same with them being in outlook... microsoft has them. haha.

copying htc sync NO.. to the marketplace..no NON NONNNNONNNNONO>

htc sync is (slaps self in the face) PART OF HTC SENSE. android doesnt natively come with sense... it is an add in done by htc. cm7 is LIKE sense in that it is an add on to native android. CM7 and Sense do not play nicely in the same sand box. froyo = gingerbread just an older version and lacking the cm7 unless added. contacts are compatible between the two.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
There are paid solution: gosync or something. Plays nice but price is quite ... strange as for one time operations (20$).
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
seriously ... dont use it as a plan z.

i can't stress to you enough that it is the EASIEST way to do it.

1. you dont need to choose catagories or shuffle things around.

2. the names dont get messed up .. ie first = last .. last = first.

3. it LITTEREALLY takes less then 2 minutes.

4. no matter what you are comming from winmo sense or winmo reg, to android sence or android reg.. they are all compatible with each other.

5. i wouldnt have posted it if it were a plan z option lol my fixes are always plan A. meahah.

no joke tho.

EDIT OMG! @ post above....

MY WAY IS FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
hmm, thats what I kinda figured. But then this brings me to another point. If I use TitBackup to backup my contacts data from Froyo Sense, shouldn't they be able to be imported into this Gingerbread build? IF so, then I know that I must somehow be doing something wrong in the import/export process.

Thanks for the clarification though. Sorry for picking your brains to much. I'll update to this new build once I get my contacts sorted.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299

http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/

im not sure what titanium backup does with the contacts... i never have needed it

i did this proceedure about a year ago.. and have never needed to sync again.

or restore my contacts for that matter... this is how pationate about this process I am.. lol +1000 from me for m.google.com :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] orangekid:
the screen off and screen on animations aren't here even though I've enabled them in CM settings,

where'd they go?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
.................................. i think i mentioned this a few times.

cyanogen team took them out as they were breaking something else that

they are updating. dont worry they will get sorted out and be put back in soon.

these are nightly builds, and this is bound to happen sometimes... same thing goes for the led configuration screen.... etc and so on..
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Hehe, this is one of the reasons why I havent updated yet. I can be such a GUI whore sometimes but that animation is so win.
[HD2 Android SD Development] orangekid:
yeah, as stupid as it sounds those animations are one of the main reasons I use Gingerbread.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Cope, thanks for the info and links. I'll be using those prolly once I realize that there is no other option.

I am curious though, since I hold opinions of devs/rom tweakers like you above most... How is me calling a number/contact on my phone automatically putting it into Googles cloud? To add to that, how is using MS Outlook on my PC sending contacts via usb to my device also putting my data in their cloud?

I could've sworn I was safe from the "evil" clouds by doing everything locally.
[HD2 Android SD Development] wesomeo:
ah man will u at least make sure the thing boots! i know ur doing this for free and u dont have to do it but if u give us something that doesnt work at all its just the same as not doing anything
[HD2 Android SD Development] jiggahj:
ungrateful people seriously ...

dude show some respect, hes working hard and maybe forgot something, your not helping by insulting anyone, hes done plenty of work, 1/15 update isnt working deal with it, untill he fixes it otherwise you have 3 options, help him(donations and such/whatever) or shut up and wait or build your own~!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] wesomeo:
u must not know the meaning of disrespect! thats just asking the man to be a little more careful because its rediculous having releases that jus dont work at all! id rather wait a little longer but get something that actually works maybe buggy but works! to get donations u must earn them! do u donate for things that dont work?!
[HD2 Android SD Development] axaverde:
@axl ... how did you made it ? I tried too, done the complete process, changing permissions for the both files with root expl. But nothing on RC5...even not able to get the gps icone blinking in the status bar .... then did you something special to make it run on mdj RC5 ram ?

Tks in advance.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jiggahj:
you are demanding things like you are paying him for his time, which from your 2 only post i can tell you are not. so sit and wait then no need for comments on this work that has no value.

you didnt say please or thank you, that would have been asking, i know im wasting my time with you cause you can hardly spell, if you can wait a little longer why dont you just do so quietly ... i am done dont reply to me about this on here and let this man do his work in peace with out any extra unnecessary grief
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
The man is spending hours of his time to make this bulid.

He is doing what he can to make this work, even redoing the whole thing from scratch because he wasn't satisfied with the results of his first run.

Everybody makes mistakes sometimes. That's human.

copenhagen is sharing his work with us for free and he can stop that sharing anytime, for example when he feels his work isn't appreciated.

So in future you better think twice before you spoil the whole thing for all of us.

This build is a work in progress as it is stated in the first post. No one ist forced to spend time on testing these builds. Anyone that does, does so to iron out flaws, helping to make this build work.

If you don't want to take part in this, wait till it's finished.

In the meantime you could go and do something useful instead of pestering other people.

Believe me when I tell you that I'd have chosen much different words to express what I think about persons like you if it weren't for the rules of this forum and the rules of civility that my parents taught me but yours evidently forgot to teach you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] faststang00:
show more respect , hes not forced to do this, and your not forced to download it, any way you must be doing something wrong because it worked for me, great build so far!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] wesomeo:
if none of u's can see it as just been a tip not a insult then ur either ****ing blind or retarded or both!!! i cant see how this could be built without knowing that its doesnt work at all unless ur just throwing some crap out to get donations!!! I believe that u'd be picking ur teeth up if not out cold so find something better to do than acting a hard man at a computer u ****ing queer!!!

@faststang00 what do u see disrespectful about that?? did i use any offending words?? anyway man u must be the only one from about 10 that said it didnt work, if u did something diffrent than just a normal installation i and i asume others would appreciate u sharing the solution?

@Copenhagen i saw u said and apologized for not having it working but it was only after a while reading through the post and after me messing with it for about an hour, if u said it in ur first post than it would have been clear and no one would have wasted their time and none of this crap would here right now! anyway i hope u didnt see me as trying to insult u just giving a tip on how to improve it might help u get donations

This maybe help

I didnot try 0115 version. but when I try 0111 version 2 days ago, same thing happens to me.

So I format the SD card, and copy Android folder into SD card only, then insert into my phone, try to boot, it's works!

I think maybe the android boot program need the system image file stay in SD card continully.

Hope this can help you.

Keep up the great work copenhagen. 15 jan build didn't work for me either, but i copied the gps.bravo.so and libgps.so from this build back into 11 jan build and can confirm GPS appears to be working (locks onto location approx 1min). Will try to test on a car journey later.

edit Can't test till tomorrow now, fubarred my install messing with too many things at once, and don't have access to my last working backup till then.

Got my Android back up and running (11 jan with gps updates from 15 jan). Tried switching in the vold that dan1j3l posted in the NAND thread, this gets the usb storage mode working.

Currently working - wifi, market, email, GPS (not fully tested), usb storage mode, camera (not video), all games tried so far e.g. Angry Birds.

Not working - data, video camera, superuser permissions for root.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
what i mean by that is...

dont worry about google doing things with your contacts and numbers etc on the cloud.

because .. if they wanted to, they could just retrieve them from your phone.

i dont mean that they are doing that.. its just.. they could.. you know.. if they wanted to.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nihonno:
lol, anyway, so you're advising not to use the old data image? Darn, hehe.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Ahh ok so in that sense yea, its definitely possible technically.... IF they needed to. But still get sued if caught doing so. Right? Who knows, topic for another thread, I guess.

One of my friends who is die-hard WinMob user saw my phone and while impressed said that he isn't giving Google all his info(numbers) to use it. But, I wonder if MS has the same access to all their WinMob phones where they could just read your phone... IF they needed to. If I can prove that, I'll be switching over a lot of HD2 owners who are getting sick with the archaic WinMob 6.5 interface. (even with CHT and the likes)

But yea thanks you an docent for clearing my head with these issues. Hopefully other users will read this and also gain something from it to. Haha who am I kiddiing, no one reads and the ones that do, won't need this info. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] iwantmore:
Hey, your builds are pretty awesome... but i got one really big problem: My market is broken. I'm just getting the little "download arrow" in the upper left corner for less then a second before it disappears... no error-message, no download. I tried it over 3G an WiFi, nothing works. I got that problem on your last build Jan 29.2 and its still present for me on Feb 04.

Weird... i think i am the only one with this problem in this thread :D

Any hint on that? :/
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikgangal:
um..u're not alone..happened to me b4..it's a market cache problem or smth ..clear all the data related to the maket and market manager(u can find it in the manage applications)..also play around with unmount/mount sd card..i'm not sure wich order..eventually i got it working

hope it helps

Running today's build on the train with the headphones on and the phone rang and almost blew out my ear drums. The volume(s) on this build are wicked loud, at least with headphones in. I turned down all ringers, volumes, notifications but even on the lowest setting it is very loud. Tried audio players an same results. Ok YouTube and my SlingPlayer as well. Just FYI....be careful!

Same thing with Google voice(mail). Very loud on headset. Interestingly, I do NOT have the same issue when either using the phone with or without the speaker, only when using a headset.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Have you tried clearing the app's cache?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
maybe helpful,... sound atenuation in cyanogenmod settings ->sound..

does this help?

havnt had the loud volume issue here. (yet)
