Importing outlook contacts from pc to this android build???

First of all, i wanna thank Warren and Cope for this great build. I've tried it on my HD2, and it's very fluid.

My question is how can i import my outlook contacts to this build?

I was using an mdeejay build(Froyo HD) build based on DesireHD with Sense. I could synchronise my outlook contacts through HTCSync.

Since this build is not HTC based, how can i perform the same synchronisation of my pc outlook contacts to this build?

Maybe there's already help on something similar somewhere that i may have missed. Could someone point me in the right direction?

many thanks for the help

Cheers

Compass / g-sensor calibration possible

Hallo copenhagen,

I`ve installed your newest build and I want to know if it is possible to calibrate the compass /g-sensor in this build ? In older froyo builds it wasn`t possible without a trick.

Thanks a lot and best regards from germany

[HD2 Android SD Development] Jooneed:
Should the name of the ext3 partition be specifically "sd-ext"? in the youtube video, the guy used "ext2".

also, after creating those partitions with minitool and applying, only the fat32 partition is visible afterwards in the disk partition view. is that ok?

thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] maverick.bg:
Yes in winmo and windows it is not visible. But in android it should be visible. I think.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Label should be sd-ext but as for now device is mounted by dev name not by abel name.

No. All partitions should be visible - ext3 and swap marked as * (no drive letter, not mounted) in MiniTool.

In Windows only first partition could be displayed (it'a feature of Win not SD Card)

Is it possible to put a battery percentage indicator on the battery icon?

@Cope - I sent you an email.

I don't think this fix is a good idea - i've got a feeling that this will copy deleted/absolete data from /data and /sd-ext and overwrite /sd-ext/data-cache.

Hello,

Just a short feedback after the installation of the Fev09's version :

- data work :-) ... after so many failend tentative with previous versions it's now working well... and very fast. I have made the dns modification to fit with my operator.

- wifi work : very interesting, for the first time I can directly connect to my wifi hotspot. With previous version (as well as with Desire Z's dandiest version), I can only connect to the wifi free access point and not to my secured one. I don't know what you have changed but it is really better.

- android market is OK, no robot voice, etc

- very fast built

- only the green led is a problem, can be solved temporarily with "led me know"

... I am most happy... thanks guys

Outlook Sync
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
So I finally got this sucker installed. So far so good. I am going to check out a couple known issues but not robots, small icons & lockscreens, or drops have bothered me yet.

Good one Cope! Warren! :D

I'll report back what I find.

One thing I noticed is that when restoring stuff from Titanium Backup, its best to do apps first, reboot, data next, reboot. Then everything shows up fine.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
ive got a new build comming today after some tests.

1. warren thinks he's got the data problems solved.

after this compile goes through we will know :)

2. the aps2sdext people with boot stalls i think ive got a work around for us,

im testing now, and will test on new build after compile completes and we will know more.

3. other stuff.

Skype still a troublemaker

I am also not able to get Skype working. Moving to/from sd/phone and vice versa didn't solve the problem for me. Tried both restoring from titanuim or d/l fresh from market, but still no go.

The program doesn't actually force closes - it opens and allows you to enter username/pass, but when trying to connect it just shuts down. A few seconds later, the Skype icon appears on the top status bar saying it's not sign in. If you try to sign in again, the same happens.

Anyone else having the same problem (or even better - was able to solve it)?

Also - Happy early birthday Cope!
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Are you sure you have a stable internet connection?

I remember something like that happening to me once, too. I don't use skype a lot. Next time I tried it I had no problems at all. I'm not sure if I had changed builds in the meantime though. Could be a problem with this build but more likely soemthing went wrong with your installation or it could be a temporary problem from skypes side.

I'd suggest you restart your phone, make sure the internet connection is stable by browsing some websites. Then try skype again.

If it doesn't work and skype is really that important to you, you could reinstall Android. Download skype fresh from the market and check if it's working before you use titanium. Problem might also come from some other app.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kabooom:
for those who get stucked at the green logo...

i had that problem too

by booting from sd with magldr, make sure you correctly renamed the rootfs.img file!

if you have turned off the extensions in windows folder settings, you only see this:

rootfs.img.sdmagldr

actually its named like this:

rootfs.img.sdmagldr.img

it has to look like this:

rootfs.img

maybe it helps someone

I've follow yr instruction to partition my sd card and make a clean Android installation, but i've some questions want to ask.

1) will the data.img still auto generate under android folder after have the Ext3 partition?

2) for my understanding, is all the applications will installed into the ext3 partition, so the data.img should not be created, am i right?

3) How i know the applications are installed in the Ext3?
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
yes

Wrong. Different layers.

Extended battery issue

Hi

I have problem with my extended battery and this SD release. Information about battery capacity is wrong - when i reboot into Windows mobile, then i have for example about 90% battery capacity but in this release i have for example 50% battery is discharging very fast. About 1-2 percent of battery for 10 minutes.

Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?

Many thanks.

[HD2 Android SD Development] balderpda:
hi there,

been checking this topic for some days now, but losing grip now...

is it possible for this build to get a 3G connection, or do i still manually have to enter dns and all?

I've tried that last weekend, but still didn't work...

sorry 4 asking, but this thread is just too long now...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Dev0o0o:
is there any interests for making a NAND rom of this version ?? :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] polthong:
Thanks for your help I finally can solve it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
You can search this thread, that way it doesn't matter if it got too long. But there have been links posted that gave you settings to try based on your provider.

It seems to be very little. Most likely due to the fact that there are a lot of different NAND projects for the HD2 out already. I know Cope mentions this in the first post or two.

Personally I see no need to, given the speed of this rom. It is fast. But it seems battery drain is a bit high. I will test further before coming to any conclusions.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Dev0o0o:
I tested alot of nand roms and tested this rom ,,, I found this one the most complete one of all ,, at least it supports arabic while the others don't,,, so it would be very nice if there is a nand version of this rom
[HD2 Android SD Development] mrchim69:
HI. I am using your sd release as the first android for my phone and happy with it, except 2 prob:

- sd card not mounted, so i cannot use camera, as well as other softs. Of course usb storage mode not usable as well. When i connect to pc, only usb debugging mode. In setting/storage, sd card not exist, only internal memory.

- my phone call seem to not work well, drop frequently when i make long call.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
make sure you formatted your sd card properly before install. I found that Windows Mobile SD Format app works best for me.

The installation of these roms is easy, but the setup before that is tricky(kinda) and not really explained all that well. I might put together an noob install guide of some sort. Right now there are just FAQ's and nothing structured as a step by step format. I won't get into the 20/20 vision you need to see the text in the first page.
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
Sorry if this has been asked before, but how can I change the kernel to h8.6? Can I just change zImage?
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
dunno why you would do such a thing. essentially switch the zImage and the ko modules out...then you'll need to also include the variables for mac addresses again in the startup.txt. and besides, most people have issues with screen stuff on 8.6
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
we've put some consideration into this, maybe one day you'll see our build NAND based.

[HD2 Android SD Development] mdthompson12:
Looks great!

Been running current build for several days it it is running great!

No data drops and switching between WiFi and wireless seems flawless. I found US TMo DNS entries that I entered into the build.prop file and no hiccups for the past three days - very nice!

GPS picks up in seconds.

Initially it looked as though the battery life was very good (2 days), but something seemed to happen last night that I am still investigating. It may be that the WiFi wasn't shut off. Going to make sure my scheduler is set and test it again tonight...
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
Someone here told me that it will automatically transfer data.img to ext3, it didn't. I have 1 fat32(6.5gb) 1 ext3(800mb) and 1 Linux swap (300mb). I booted as normal and it still says it has 0.99GB of internal storage(data.img is 1gb). Do I have to do something else?

[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Yea I noticed the same thing. I installed currrent widget and it shows my cell standby taking up 60% of the charge. I'm like wtf? This is with data off and just wifi on. The previous build was great and i saved alot of battery power by keeping data off and only using when I'm not at work or home.

Yea you should upgrade your radio. Install WINE or virtualbox and get a windows environment setup. It's worth the effort.

I have added my htc's mac address fine to my router and it still pulls the signal. I still have issue with hidden SSID's though... I'm surprised no one else has mentioned anything with that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] stim141:
MDThompson12 ? What exactly did you change or add to the prop file? I removed the #'s for Tmobile and still get data drops.

Also noticed when you make or receive a call the data DOES drop and will only return if you turn off data and turn it back on.

Data drops still happens when a call is made or received. Tried it several times and it still occurs with the latest build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] StarLog:

Hi copenhagen !

I have 2 question for you and I hope that you can help me..

Is that possible to install your android distribution on a specific folder ? I mean aI would like to put everything not on the root so when I start android it creates all of it's working folder not in the root but inside this specif folder. I would like to keep in order my sd card !

Is it possible to add htc sense on gingerbread ( actually sorry if this is a stupid question but I do not follow adroid developmet so much ) ?
