[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borgf:
Hi everybody,

I've got an HD2 for a couple of weeks now and this forum has helped me many times! But despite of all its awesomeness, I have now run into two minor problems, that I couldn't find an answer to, so I hope someone can help me out:

1. In roughly 10-minute intervals, my screen turns on for about a half second an immediately turns off again. It's just like a short flicker, but I fear that this is bad for the display....What could be causing this?

2. The backlight on the 5 hardkeys is turned on ALL THE TIME....the only way to get it to shut off, is to turn off the device completely.

I haven't tried hard-reseting yet, since I just got everything else working like it should, so I would be happy to hear from anybody, who might have a solution/workaround/etc.

cheers,

borg
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borgf:
Please!!! :-)

Is there nobody who has seen this behavior?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borgf:
Well, I did a hard reset....unfortunately my problems remain...

Some time ago I tried an Android build (shubCRAFT_v2.0_dropemode)

I ran clrcad and haret und my screen showed the "DOS-like" screen and then stuck and (really slowly) faded to black...after nothing had happened after 10min, I did a soft reset and never touched android again...

Could this be related to these weird problems?
[Desire General] SeanBond:
I am Running 2.3,

What profiles should i use? this look alright?

And is it really worth using?
[Desire General] crapula512:
i like the screen off profile, as that makes a real difference for me in battery life, however i see no point in having battery profiles. do you really want your phone to become slower just because you drop under 50% batt?

normally i would want it to keep going full speed and in the case that im on the road and need to save battery as much as possible i would change the setcpu profile myself (and probably switch off sync and 3g)
[Desire General] touch of jobo:
Your <30% profile will never kick in, since that is also <50% which has a higher priority.
[Desire General] Borat38:
Newb question: Does one have to have a rooted phone to install Set CPU?
[Desire General] touch of jobo:
^^^ Yes.

SetCPU needs superuser privileges to do its thing.
[Desire General] SeanBond:
Priorities fixed now, I used it with less than 50% and the phone was just as fast doing regular tasks and web browsing
[Desire General] shankly1985:
Am just using screen off dont need to use any other settings.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
You also need a custom kernel, the htc one can only underclock not overclock
[Desire General] Kalavere:
I just use <30% battery, 768Mhz. I let HAVS do all the rest.
[Desire General] shankly1985:
So because I have a custom Rom Leedroid, I dont need to disable the driver?
[Desire General] Borat38:
What is HAVS?

Also, what's better for batt conservation (w/out sacrificing speed): Undervolting or underclocking?
[Desire General] Kalavere:
HAVS is a set of instructions from the kernel governing the CPU, it undervolts and under clocks the CPU when it is not in use. Undervolting and underclocking go hand in hand.
[Desire General] syncopy:
I have just 1 profile:

screen off: max around 384 MHz. and mim 245 MHz.

Does that makes sense? :-O
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] matheprat:
I know I can long-press the home key, but would like basically the same icons in the app drawer too. Is this possible?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] marvin02:
I don't know of an app that will do specifically what you want, but you can set a gesture action with Launcher pro to display the recent apps list. It sounds like you want your app drawer filtered to show the most recently used apps at the top.

How I got psx4droid working on my htc desire hd..

I know there are already guides for this but I found them a bit confusing, so heres how I done/do it.

1. download psx4droid from market

2. download rombuddy from market

3. download astro from market

4. in astro create a folder called “..playstaytion games” in sdcard (I put the two dots in front to put it to the top of the list so it makes it easier to find later)

5. on your pc search the interwebnet for scph1001.bin, download this file and save it to the dektop so its also easy to find.

6. Connect your phone to your pc and save the scph1001.bin file to sdcard/psxoid (cant remember if I created this folder or if it came with the psx4droid app, if its not there then create the folder using astro in sdcard)

7. go into psx4droid app and make the scph1001.bin file your bios.

8. use rombuddy (with wifi) to download one of the many games listed, eg “driver-you are the wheel man”, click download (this takes about 20 mins so be patient) ive also found some games havnt worked.

9. Once its downloaded use astro and go to sdcard/roms/psx- there you will find your new game (one is a brown box which Is zipped and one is a white rectangle which is unzipped and ready to go)

10. press and hold the unzipped file, click edit then move. (these dont have to be moved but i do it to keep them together) you can also delete the zipped (brown box) file as it is no longer needed.

11. Now go back to your ..playstation games folder, open it, press menu, edit, paste.

12. Now your game should be ready to play, all you do to play is open astro find the ..playstation games folder click your game then click psx4droid in the pop-up menu and play.

hope this helps, like i said im a novice so might have missed bits or done things backwards but it works for me.

thanks
[Desire HD General] Elemental_Fire:
A fine post. Thanks for sharing with us fellow XDA members who've dreamed about psx4droid but haven't actually got round to trying it out, this eases it for me :)
[Desire HD General] faramir85:
I had no problems installing psxdroid, but it runs with a low framerate, at least RE nemesis on my dhd..
[Desire HD General] xp79:
Agreed but it seems to run smoother on other android devices over the DHD, get a steady 30+ FPS but the picture still seems to stutter.

I managed to install the whole thing by downloading the files via the web browser on the phone, so you can cancel out the connecting it to PC part of the tutorial :).

Good job putting up a guide however, I'm sure it will help someone along the way!
[Desire HD General] garyfrench1:
yeah i suppose downloading the bios file via phone rether than pc would make no difference but thats just how i done it.

ive found that tony hawks pro skater 4 isnt too bad to play but dave mirra bmx and street fighter have been very slow. any tips for speeding them up?

thanks
[Desire HD General] xp79:
I got some extra FPS by playing with the settings such as frame skip, disabling sound and refresh rate on high usage games such as MGS and FF7.
[Desire HD General] Elemental_Fire:
Sigh...I miss the days of FPSECE on the HD2...oh well, i'm sure the DHD should be able to work faster, my HD2 used to get a steady 60fps on Spyro 3 without any stuttering...it was heaven I tell you! Overclocking the Desire HD to 1.3ghz while playing should help quite a bit. I don't know what else, though. Unless killing background processes, and the like. I don't understand how the HD2 could outperform the DHD...unless it's bad software code optimisation and the OS causing performance issues... :(
[Desire HD General] tranceonline:
It helps, when setting max refreshrate to 30 or 40 fps, when games stutter.

Why its so slow? dunno, bad coding i think!
[Desire HD General] claudetan:
it work well on my DHD
[Desire HD General] Leegee87:
Desire HD problems

All games seem to run slow on my DHD. The fps is usually around 50-60 but it just seems to run so sluggishly, it makes all games unplayable. I have tried messing around with the various different settings and killing every program but PSX4droid but it seems not have no effect on the performance. Has anyone got any solution at all?

Thanks,
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
I have my setup in my sig and I'm happy with it but I'm really curious about the ext4. I've read some posts and some people say it makes their phone faster and some dont notice a whole lot. I'm just wondering if it's worth the hassle for me to do cause I'm on a dk28 extended so first I would have to Odin to the regular dk28. So for those who have done it how is it? If you notice anything where does the phone seem faster at? I just want to get some feedback so I can make my mind up if I even feel like doing it. Thanks and happy new year!
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
1st you don't have to re odin if you are on the dk28 extended...all you need is to b rooted and have clockwork installed. I definitely noticed a speed boost on midnight rom
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Oh the last time I read they said it should be used on the regular stock rom not the extended. Well that takes out a lot of steps for me then.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
The whole procedure takes 5 minutes and my Epic is almost twice as fast!

Web pages load faster,etc,sht everything is faster and the lag is gone!Best mod for Epic,now my samsung feels smooth like htc.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Ran it for a day before I dropped my Epic and ruined it, and I didn't notice this ground shaking fastness everyone is talking about. The phone seemed pretty snappy, but it has always felt that way.
[Epic 4G General] gharris040604:
Two words ...No Lag!!

[Epic 4G General] adamr240:
I was wondering about this, too.

On the Moment, everyone was doing an Ext2 mod that was supposed to make the phone fly. It didn't, it just mmade it more unstable and decreased boot time. It did increase the quadrant score, but only because quadrant weighs I/O so heavily.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I would love for someone to make a video comparing the difference between having it and not having it. The differences should be very apparent in a comparison video with the same number of apps installed and everything.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Ya just need to try it,its more stable than tfs and way faster.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
Boot time and shut down time are virtually cut in half.

When you do the following w/ RFS > long press home screen > add > shortcut > applications [insert delay here while it builds applist]

doing the same thing w/ EXT4 = no delay to 'build app list'

I'm using spare parts as well and w/ transitions set to fast etc.. it seems as if my phone opens apps, windows, screens, etc. before my finger hits the screen. It's so damn snappy it's unreal.

The members that I've seen that have not noticed improvements such as this have done a restore from a RFS based ROM..

I have not done a data restore at all.. Sucks, but I wanted a fresh install and didn't wanna taint my virgin EXT4 file system w/ RFS herpes LMFAO

Third and final point (for me) is battery life is tremendously improved w/ EXT4 vs RFS in my opinion.. I've been streaming heavily (w/ wifi to be fair) and my battery life is superb.

And if you wind up noticing something different, it only takes a few minutes w/ odin to return to stock and remove the EXT4 stuff.

Hope this helps.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Restoring the data folder from an RFS based rom? I didn't think that would cause any ill effects, but maybe that is why i didn't notice any major differences.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Well you all talked me into it. I am going to start fresh. I'm going to Odin a fresh dk28 and root it and go from there. Guess I'll put midnight rom on till bonsai gets his done.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Make sure when you flash your rom dont flash it within Clockwork 2.5.5 but boot into clockwork 2.5.5 and go to "advanced" and "reboot clockwork",after you do this it will take you into modded Clockwork 2.5.1.2(something like that".Flash your rom from the modded Clocwork and not the regular one,because flashing your rom from the regular Clockwork will reformat your sht back to rfs.

And after flashing your rom dont forget to flash the Ext4 kernel before you exit Clockwork.
[Epic 4G General] smoothone:
Try it out cause I can tell you the phone feels snappier and just quicker all around! As for the the guy that said his phone is twice as fast I can promise you it is NOT! You do not have to Odin like they said just make sure you have clockwork with redirector installed! It is a quick process and overall you will be happy with the results. I also agree with you that my phone ran very well before I formatted to the new file system. It was smooth and quick but this is an easy mod and like I said you are just going to notice the difference ever so slightly but it is well worth it!
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
So every time I flash a new rom that I flash it in the new cwm and then I flash the kernel right after? I guess flashing themes doesn't change? Thanks for the input guys.
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
Midnights rom is ual boot so you don't have to odin back to stock. He also has a really simplified way to get ext4 on ur phone in only 3 steps
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
After you formated to Ext4 anything that you flash(themes,apps,etc..) flash it in the cmw 2.5.1.2(it will say it on the bottom of cmw),only thing that is safe to flash in old cmw(2.5.5) is kernels.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Do u have to flash the ext kernel after a rom change? I've seen conflicting answers?
[Epic 4G General] Toast95135:
Since changing to ext4 its generally faster and smoother, not a huge increase but noticiable. When going to add widgets or application shortcuts its way faster, the apps list loads almost instantly and you can scroll to the bottom with no lag or stuttering. Gallery seems much faster then dk28 with rfs too. Apps load faster in general, animations between screens look smoother and it boots quicker. Dungeon Defenders plays a little better, it doesn't chug as much during big battles.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Ok if I do try this and I don't notice a whole lot can I boot into cwm and restore back to my bonsai rom like the way it is now? Would I have to do that thru the new or old cwm? Thanks
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
If u flash Ext4 rom then u gotta flash Ext4 kernel right after before u exit cmw.

If u wanna revert to your old rom(non Ext4) than just flash it in regular cmw(2.5.5).
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Ok I just did flashed midnight rom and the gingerbread theme. Its def. Faster. Thanks for talking ne into it. I got 1560 on my quadrant score. I also used adv shell to make sure it worked right. Can't wait till bonsai supports ext4.

[Epic 4G General] sniperkill:
MidNIGHT rom did the video. Go to his thread and look up on his midNIGHT rom webpage. He's got a vid of the 2 side by side. With ext4, way faster than wihtout, and even better, its not a trick, meaning, its not creating any loop0's over system/data/cache files to trick performance scores! I got a 1700+ quadrant score running the latest Viper rom w/ my own theme....
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Awesome, going to check it out now.
[Epic 4G General] sweepingzero:
viper rom works on ext4????
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
You can run any DK28 rom with ext4 as long as you get an ext4 compatible kernel and flash it immediately after flashing the rom.
[Epic 4G General] sweepingzero:
Ooh. But then don't you lose 2.5.1.2?
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
No you shouldnt,i flashed different kernels and still have modded cmw.
[Epic 4G General] xjman:
Dude, the ext4 made no difference at all, some things opened slightly faster, but thats all

It inflates your benchmark, but nothing else is faster. I honestly think it is a gimmick and rates up with the "lag fix"
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
I believe you may have done something incorrect then. Everyone that's performed the EXT4 mod has reported noticable increases in speed.

I do not believe it's a gimmick.. There is alot of things that are faster besides benchmarks.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
It depends on whether it was baked into the rom. For most roms, yes you lose 2.5.1.2, but you can get it back. You just need to manually copy the recovery from prepare.zip to your system partition and then you can get 2.5.1.2 back with any rom.
[Epic 4G General] sweepingzero:
I added system/bin/recovery file into the rom and it works perfectly though forgo to add the images for the progress bar but it works :) yay

Sent from my Evo killer
[Epic 4G General] xjman:
if you can tell me what I may have done wrong please do. The benchmark for my I/O jumps, however nothing else seems to move any faster, the boot time seemed a second or 2 faster.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
I lost it earlier when I reflashed bonsai 1.0.4 with the ext4 kernel. The rom was released before ext4 and isn't ext4 compatible without flashing a kernel. The rom devs here are pretty quick to include important bits like recovery when they get a new release out (which Mammon did earlier tonight with bonsai). I'm pretty sure all ext4 compatible roms have the modded recovery baked in. Dameon just anounced a version 3 something of clockworkmod that should be able to support both rfs and ext4 so that we won't have to use two versions of clockwork mod to flash to ext4.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Check using adb shell to make sure its installed right. Use a command prompt and type "adb shell mount" and make sure its says ext4 for system, data, and cache. If it does then you did out right. I notice a little bit but nothing spectacular.

Sent from my Evo killer!
[Epic 4G General] sniperkill:
Well, it does for me. I put the files in so it would work. But the next Viper rom release will have the files in it to work with ext4.... I gave BT the files, but he already had them, lol...
[Epic 4G General] sniperkill:
There's also files you need for it to work located in system/xbin. System/bin, and kernel files
[Epic 4G General] xeonbuilder:
What ROMs does this mod work with??
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Cyanogen

midNIGHT

Viper

Bonsai

Nebula

Quantum

Frankenstein

The only one I'm not sure about is Superheroes. At this point I'm pretty sure they all support it.

As to my results, I wouldn't say its enormously faster but it does feel a little snappier. As others have reported it did boost my Quadrant score by almost 600 putting it on par with what I got in CM but it doesn't feel that much faster. Still, I do notice a bit of pickup.
[Epic 4G General] xeonbuilder:
Figures. lol. You didnt mention the one Im using. The Epic Experience v 2.0.0.7
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
lol I was doing it from memory...couldn't think of em all off the top of my head...oh I was right...epic experience has not yet been updated.

~~EDIT~~

Reading through the end of the thread it seems like some people are reporting running it with ext4 so I'm not really sure. I'd contact the dev to be sure.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
I'm happy with ext4 especially now that I have bonsai rom back. I get between 1450-1650 on quadrant now.
[Epic 4G General] kalico17:
running ext4 with CM6 15.3.3

this rom>>>
[Epic 4G General] MadDucker:
Quadrant before was around 950, quadrant after is right around 1500.

Transitions without live wallpaper are just as smooth as DK28/2.2 with sprint bloatware removed.

Loading of apps, installing shortcuts to desktop/wall, manage app screen are all extremely faster.

Can run ADW Launcher EX with "cartwheel" transition and live wallpaper without any slowdown at all which is noticeably different.

Overall a quicker feel, but just as smooth.

Im running the new bonsi rom with the ext4 and holy crap my battery last sooo much longer now. usally i cant goto sleep w/o puttin phone on charger. this morning i woke up after 8 hour sleeping and battery was only 95% out of 100% my battery life has increased dramaticly for some reason. this is great good job XDA ppl you guys rock. lol this is like my new favorite site.

Running twice as fast on my EPIC with Quantum 2.5 Rom with EXT4. Great Mod and will recommend to all.
[Epic 4G General] sauron0101:
Overall, the phone does feel more snappy with ext4, although not that much. I think that its because the phone always felt snappy to begin with. What's really noteworthy is the faster boot time.

I wonder why Samsung ever choose to use RFS in the first place after seeing this. Why did they not adopt YAFFS like in the standard version? Perhaps they decided that the performance loss was worth some benefit?

Pushboot WAY too complicated...try this, it's what I did:

After downloading it to my computer, I renamed it Bootanimation.zip. I set my phone to Disk Drive and slid the file over to sdcard/zips (you can move it anywhere on the card, that just happens to be where I keep my zip files). Set the phone back to Charge Only.

Went in Root Explorer, set it to R/W, went to sd card/Zips,and moved bootanimation.zip to system/customize/resource. I left my sound file in place (I like to hear the reboot process...it makes me aware when the phone does randoms...).

Backed out of RE, rebooted and VOILA!!!!

Sounds difficult, but it took 2 minutes and was quite simple.

Nice boot animation, too!!!:D
