Yeah I noticed you been here since 2005 too - I've been more excited about this project than any other since I got here back then too...hahaha.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PutoFace:
The screen resolution seems to be off, and when locked, the phone unlock screen is smaller than the size of the screen.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PutoFace:
Also experiencing data issues...
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
small question, is this right or misstyped?

if you want switch to RAM version: in your /sdcard/Android folder, rename the existing: rootfs.img and initrd.gz.ram - to initrd.gz and rootfs.img.noram -- opposite to go back to non ram

So to switch to RAM, I change rootfs to .noram and remove the .ram from initrd?

The build is nice and fast. But phone, screen lock are off.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Ahmun_Ra:
I've done the exact same question with no answer... And more, the build already have a initrd.gz. What to do? I've deleted the original initrd.gz and renamed the .ram to only .gz and thw build seems so slow and laggy that i gave up...

A little help is apprecciated

thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
Lets wait and hope someone replies :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Ahmun_Ra:
And still no explanation...
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
update.

working:

gps

camera/video rec. (! highest quality rec mode crashes camera app, choose youtube high quality)

market

not working:

data

i'm at work at the moment, will upload the updated build @ approx 1am server time.

@ small unlock screen - READ THE FIRST POST SMACK!

(there is a fix written SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU)

@ change to ram version... do exactly what the first post says.

1. rename rootfs.img to rootfs.img.whatever

2. (rename the existing initrd.gz to like initrd.gz.nonram) and rename initrd.gz.ram to initrd.gz

do reverse to go back to standard sd version

I havn't done any testing yet of the ram setup... i want to get a functional build out first, THEN I will get the ram version working.

I can stay here and answer questions OR i can keep working on this build... you guys choose. ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] faststang00:
badass I'l try it out when data is working
[HD2 Android SD Development] nzxtneo:
Keep up the great work, bru!

Almost there!

Hi !

I was loocking for a gingerbread build that intergate htc sense but I have seen that there are nono out there...it's because htc hasn't yet realese an updated with gingerbread with the sense and it's impossible to adaps the old sense ??
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
update

gps and camera/video rec. working.

there is a trade off, you have to use the data.img I provided.. you can resize it.. but you have to use it. it sucks I know.

I need help with this.. its to much for just me. please feel free to mess around and see if you can get some more stuff working.. PLEASE!

this update should work... but if not i apologize, its late and I gotta take off soon.

peace.

It´ s not working for me,only green logo HTC and nothing.:confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] jiggahj:
yea new 1/15 isnt working for me either i will change data.img with the one that booted for me on 1/11 and see if that helps
[HD2 Android SD Development] chaos_slo:
It´ s not working for me either just green logo HTC and nothing else. Copenhagen something is wrong here. :(:(:(:(:(:(

!

same here just htc but wont boot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] tongben:
The 1/15/11 version does not work for me. It stays at the black screen with the green htc for an hour. Deleting the data.img did not help.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Ahmun_Ra:
+1 here. Does not boot from the HTC green logo :S

Nice. I'll call it a day. It's a time for 'The Big Bang Theory' and 'Outsourced' - wife time.

Output of data connections testing put here or write PM.
[HD2 Android SD Development] needabottle:
Wow, I'd love to have that kind of drain. I'm on Copes 30 Jan build. Have email data turned off. Wifi shutting down when screen off, Brightness at minimum and anything else I can think off turned down or off. I expect to have a high loss during the day with use, although I don't actually use the phone that much, but overnight the drain should be minimal.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
You probably have your phone next to you on the nightstand. Do you really need the data connection to be turned on during the night?

I put mine into flight mode when I go to sleep and turn it back on in the morning.

Might help the drain. If it still drains there is something wrong with your system.

Maybe some app going crazy.

To lose 80% at night would mean a drain of over 100mAh for a 8hour night. In standby you should only have bwtween 4 and 8mAh.

Check your drain with current widget. Put your phone in standby, let it sit for a minute turn it back on and look at the current widget. Should show between 4-8mAh in 2g mode, no wifi, no bluetooth.

If it shows more than that some app is the culprit.

Use a task manager and kill unnecessary apps and try again. You don't have to kill all the apps all the time. It's just to find the culprit for your unussually high drain.

Since I use my phoe during the day and it always goes down below 50% and therefore won't last another full day regardless of drain at night I always charge it over night. 100% in the morning.
[HD2 Android SD Development] godsavenger:
OK Docent

I'm trying your solution and....

don't work for me :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Nah I dont think thats the main problem. Under stock WinMob I get excellent battery life. Android is another story.

I have the same experience as you. But with a different build. I'm switchign back n forth from Cope's to MDJ Froyo 4.6 and both have batt drain issues. Though I have yet to test Cope's new build longer than a few hours so I can check again.

Do you disable all data/wifi services before you go to sleep like someone else mentioned?

edit: deleted last part because I referenced the wrong build...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nihonno:
Docent,

I've been using it for the past few hours. This seems to be a solid solution. I just used root explorer and edited build.prop as a text file.

I ran wifi for about 1 hour and turned it off. Went right back to wireless data without much hiccup. Also, I noticed the the data watermark on the top right corner that says "t-mobile" or whatever your service provider is now say "3G" as a prefix.

Just got a step closer to perfecting the build. Nice contribution. I'll continue to test tonight into tomorrow and let you all know.

To all, remember, after you do this... how ever you edit the build.prop, you need to reboot the phone for the changes to take effect.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cmillens:
You mean to say:

You don't have BlueTooth issues?

You don't have GPS issues (takes me almost 30 minutes to get a connection and it drops every 5 or so minutes)

You phone process doesn't FC when bluetooth is on?

And yes, I'm back to Warrenbread 0.1.5. I can't use any of Warren''s past that version and I can't use any version of your Cope past 01/26/11 without significant troubles.
[HD2 Android SD Development] needabottle:
Thanks.

I installed Current Widget, and checked and was showing 316mA

Crikey and here's me thinking there wasn't much running. I certainly didn't knowingly start stuff like Titanium

Screen off and sitting there shows 56mA

Screen on copying the list shows 125mA

OK now I'll install a task killer and see what can be killed and see what it does to current

EDIT with task killer savaging what is running lowest drain I get is 54mAh. nowhere near the 4 to 8mAh quoted above
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nihonno:
GPS took about 8 minutes (yes I timed) initially but it's much faster now. Bluetooth issues? no, never. The only thing I ever force closed since I've gotten this build was angry birds. I read the advice posted and moved it to the phone form the SD card. So as far as what you've mentioned and all else I've traversed. I really haven't had any issues with this build at all. With minimal use, I've been able to get 3 days on 1 battery charge.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Just check your startup config in Android directory and change country code to matching yours.

After this edit I've got fix after 3 minutes.

set cmdline "rel_path=Android gps_zone=us nand_boot=0"
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Make sure you added content I edited after our initial talk (network mode).

Then make sure your build.prop HAS changed (with your adjustmens).
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nihonno:
Already had that set. I believe that it was defaulted to that said region by Cope.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Yes it was. so I had to change to my country.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cmillens:
Well than I must be doing something wrong but seriously now. I installed THIS version no differently than I've installed the last or any other version. Long format the SDCard (fat32 64kb cluters), copy over the android folder and turn it on .... It really doesn't GET any easier than that.

Perhaps I should start all over with downloading this version again?
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
125mA while copying the list is ok, 54mA in Standby with wifi and data turned of is not.

One of the apps you are using has to be the cause of this.

You could try a fresh install. Save your old data.img and let Android create a new one. Only install current widget and task killer app. You'll have to let it settle for a while with wifi connection turned on, connected to your router. 1hour should be sufficient. Restart your phone and check current widget again. Kill tasks if necessary.

I know it's a hassle to do that but I don't see any other way to find a solution for your problem. The drain you are experiencing is not normal and there doesn't seem to be anyone else with that problem. At least noone noticing it.

I almost always have 4-8mA after standby. With wifi turned on around 20mA. Not all the time though. Sometimes even with wifi on it's only 4-8mA. Don't know the reason for that but that's my experience with several Android builds.

Having a media player in the foreground before sending my phone into standby also seems to have a similar effect. Current usually is around 20mA then, media player not playing anything. With media player playing music while phone is in standby current is around 125mA.
[HD2 Android SD Development] malaeus:
having some weird lag issues, and data is dropping out horribly. even reset the APN from the list to see if it would fix itself. data drops out every 15 minutes or so. and i have to do the airplane mode toggle to get it back.

no clue, the MDJ 4.6 HD build didnt have these data issues. dont really know what the big difference is.

regularly have 30+ apps running that can be killed by task manager. and 18 out of the 30 i didnt even start....
[HD2 Android SD Development] elios115:
has anybody got openvpn working on this build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] bchsun:
I've done that. It doesn't freeze on that boot screen but the cyanogen on or at the beginning of setup wizard. I've checked the card and still no data.img.
[HD2 Android SD Development] tophechris:
Hi godsavenger,

Still without data connection? The same for me indeed :(

But I am wondering if the reason would not be how cynaogene built sets the APN. I noticed that when dandiest changed his DL DesireZ built toward the v3, I could not anymore get data connection. And from the last v2.x series toward the v3, he changed among other the kernel (from hastarin8.6 to gpc kernel) and I think he is also using now the "Massive APN from Cyanogen ROM". Could the problem be one of them?

Out of that, I have tried setting the APN according to all the different advices you can get on the net from bouygues android phone owners without any success unfortunately.

... some thinking to help finding the solution for the poor french bouygues operator' phone guys ;)

Any other idea from your side? or from Cope's side?
[HD2 Android SD Development] bchsun:
It freezes at the beginning of Setup Wizard every single time. I do have my SD card setup with android and wp7 dual-boot. could there be a problem because of that?
[HD2 Android SD Development] needabottle:
Thanks for the suggestions.

This install was on a fresh format SD card.

The only apps I installed were Battery Booster, Current Widget and Advanced Task Killer. The latter 2 only after my first post on this subject so I'm assuming if it is some errant app it has to be from the install.

I'm gonna do as you suggest and go for clean with only task killer and current widget and see if there is any difference.

I appreciate everyone's help on this
[HD2 Android SD Development] godsavenger:
Hi buddy,

I think you re right

It's a problem with our operator :( not these great rom

if i find a solution i tell you
[HD2 Android SD Development] godsavenger:
Yes docent i'll do everything you explain.

For information, there was a solution more easy to do what you say with out install your logiciel

open Terminal emulator

in the console tape "su" enter, and the su application tell you if you want to give root acces for terminal emulator, clic on "accept"

then tape the commande "busybox cp /sdcard/build.prod /system/build.prop -f" and enter

if you have more information or advise don't hesitate to tell me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] malaeus:
meh. still having really really really bad lag problems. killed my battery (extended 2300 official HTC) in 4 hours. no WIFI. just data. and even that was only passive checking gmail etc.

cant get data to stay on consistently either. tried 8 variations of the tmo US APN. and no joy.

so, thanks for the gingerbread, but ill stick with frozen yogurt.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
The extended battery doesn't work properly with this build.

Shouldn't be lagging though and you seem to be the only one that has that problem.

There seems to be something wrong with your installation or configuration.

What radio are you using?

Hey guys, so Arabic and RTL works great on 29 Jan (2). Here are some sample pics with SMS, Whatsapp and Opera :)

HOWEVER, this only works on 29 (2) Jan. On 30Jan, doesn't work. (maybe Framework or libs files have been changed in the updated?)

Will try to collaborate with Cope and test things out for him :)

Thanks again Cope

You should have read the first post more thoroughly:

[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
Dont forget the Startup file as well
[HD2 Android SD Development] bchsun:
Thanks so much. A dumb mistake I made it seems. By startup file do you mean the startup.txt like in the instructions?
[HD2 Android SD Development] malaeus:
well i was using tmo specific builds FOR that reason. tried yours and it wasnt any better. which was why i tried this one out. and i have switched APN's around specifically because of the CM issue with tmoUS APN.

im not some kind of noob here, so i dont need you treating me like i am.......

was simply reporting my experience for the benefit of the community, and to see if anyone else has had the same issues.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bchsun:
I have not had this issue yet, I'm currently booting successfully for the first time now actually. But with WP7 there is the same APN issue and for TmoUS the way to fix it is by adding the APN named "T-Mobile US" no username, provider name, or password. It solves the issue on WP7, maybe it could work with CM...

Update time: :)

Good evening my friends.

I have a very nice gift for you this evening.

But im tired so I'm not going to do a big write up about it.

Infact. This will be the last release in this thread.

I've joined forces with warrenb to further increase the awesomeness of this build.

Nothing is going to change except the anem (which I don't mind copes sd.. ;)) but

its more an American / Canadian joint venture... so we are calling it AmeriCanAndroid SD.

rather charming with its triple meaning there. lol eh? !

so.. keep on goin here until we close the thread, and then Ill post the link to the new home. So... like I said .. nothing else is changing..

Thankyou all for your support. I look forward to building for you for a long time to come :)

standby for the download link

Data connection error SOLVED

Hi guys,

I found the solution about the data connection error in 3G / Edge / HSDPA.

In fact it's not an error with the APN or rom compatibility.

I'm testing with another provider and it's work perfectly!!!!

With SFR provider all work fine !!

With Bouygues Telecom, the GSM is not recognize and the serveur don't allow access to data services.

It's not a problem with this great rom but with the operator.

Regards.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Man the instructions in the first page are not good at all courtesy of the old evil copy and paste. :confused:

1. There is not even instructions on how to rename the folder with this rom. Do I use the same Android path in root of Sd or I can use a different name. I have another rom in the sd card so what can I do to avoid conflict.

2. For those running this rom with winmo (i.e without magdlr) which files from the extract do we use and which one do we leave out.

3. Are the instructions for using ram roms similar to the sd ones. Please dont assume everybody knows the different ways of running the 2.

You have a good rom but the first page is not user friendly at all. What with all those links, very very small font size etc. I am not compaining but all those links in the first page serve to cause more confusion than convenience. :eek:

Thanks for this SD rom seeing as it is everybody else has migrated to Nand roms. Nice to see that this rom is updated regularly.;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] kaos120:
Downloaded and installed final version. Used previous Data Image. Apps all work fine straight away, no FC's, no having to clear data, move to phone etc...(incl. angry birds!). Wifi works great (did a market update with it - no problems). Wake up response seems fine to me.

Problems to report:-

For me I have no data (for the first time in a long time) - both on 3G and 2G, icons go green at top etc, but webbrowser reports unavailable. When using 2G only, still connects with H symbol.

Old TV style screen off anim now missing (tried changing CM settings, rebooting etc.)

LED notifications - LED is on Green all the time, cannot locate LED settings in CM settings.

USB - PC connection is now debugging only - no usb mount option

I'll try a fresh Data.img and report back.

Tried a fresh Data.img - boot didn't take too long approx. 5 mins - Data connection works occassionally, very unstable - green led lit most of the time, sometimes goes out, but comes back on. Plugging in turns it orange, unplugging turns it off. Other probs as above i.e. usb mount etc

Guessing these issues are a combination of the switch of CM7 build (out of your control) and maybe the changes you have made to data settings are not UK network compatible. Not sure if this release includes Warrenb's tmous optimisations.

I've switched back to earlier backed up version, everything i need works great :)

(By the way, thanks Cope and Warrenb for all your hard work)
