uncheck compatibility mode in spare parts app and reboot.

this is in the first post (but listed as @small unlock screen)

@8gb card... shouldnt have to do anything different then you are doing with your 4gb card. make sure you format the 8gb as fat32 and default sector size - try using a card reader or mount the sdcard as a removeable drive to format.

sdcard size shouldnt make a difference.
[HD2 Android SD Development] orangekid:
an easy fix is to move it to the phone if installed on SD, or if already on phone, move to sd then move back to phone, works every time on gingerbread for some reason.

There is an NTP_SERVER variable that can be changed according to your location in /etc/gps.conf and in /system/etc/gps.conf files. I'm not sure though, which one is really used by the GPS...

Edit: A list of NTP time servers can be found here:

Well,

I just ran the ran the Jan 26 build and let it create a new data image file. First thing that greeted me on startup was FC or android.media.process :(

I'm backing up my SD card and will try a reformat etc. Hopefully its just related to trash leftover from previous android builds that I've tried over that last few months.

Fingers crossed ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] mdthompson12:
Working with new build now - looks great! Was able to backup/restore all settings and apps with Titanium. Camcorder works just fine. WiFi tethering is also working. GPS hasn't synch'd yet but it may be my location within a building in the middle of Chicago. Quadrant score, for those who care about it, was 1505. Google Voice works. Google mail and calendar and Yahoo mail all synching fine. Market working. For shytes and giggles I loaded up the Droid X Eye live wallpaper, just to confuse my co-workers, and it looks great!!

Keep up the good work, Cope!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] rebecker:
After a couple hours with the new build these are my thoughts.

The Good:

Both cameras work fine; the volume seems to be louder than previous versions, GPS seems faster than before, WiFi seems to automatically reconnect.

The Bad:

Phone sound seems to be odd. Caller voices cut in and out. Is this the infamous robot issue? Never had it before.

The Ugly (minor issue):

MP4 movies now have a border around them. In the past versions the screen was filled edge to edge.

Any thoughts on the bad and the ugly will be appreciated.

Thanks.

[HD2 Android SD Development] WizP:
Great Build almost everything working as it should.

My only problem unfortunately is that the audio is really distorted at my end during a phone call (Not the same as robot voice) Just very hard to hear properly. Others have mentioned that they hear their voice echo back on every call too. :(

Think it might have something to do with the robotic fix.

GS has been fixed very nicely though :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] negromnia90:
How is the battery drain?
[HD2 Android SD Development] rebecker:
Actually, that's exactly what I experiencing too. Had one caller say that my phone sounded better with the headphones/mic plugged in. A first! Usually I'm told to unplug the mic and speak into the phone. :confused:

Sorry if this has been addressed, Trying to boot from aMagldr. Starts booting, I get the HTC screen, gets past that and starts the boot animation, spins around a few times then the screen blanks and loops back to the animation over and over again. Any ideas? Thanks much.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
sounds like something got corrupted along the way......

i'll look into this specific issue between our builds more this weekend.

has anybody tried to load android from a bootloader within winphone 7? I'm curious, or is the magldr the place people can load sd builds once they go up to winphone 7?
[HD2 Android SD Development] negromnia90:
Thx for answer!;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] jmcdonald58:
I am loading from Magldr but not using windows running Cotulla's stock desire,Though about trying windows 7 but I got a friend that has windows 7 phone really the only thing I liked about it was the live service guess I didn't get a long enough look at it --I never was happy with 6.5 either G2 HD2 right now for us -I appreciate the work you guys are doing together its refreshing to see to chefs/devs working together and communciting through the threads as you guys are doing Keep up the good work and thanks donation coming both your guys way
[HD2 Android SD Development] devilman:
Are U booting with MAGLDR?

is the answer "YES" , use the rootfs.img and not the rootfs.img.magldr

@COPE

For the sake of clarity, may I suggest you to add in the first post the following?

MAGLDR USERS :

1) Copy rootfs.img from SDMAGLDR Folder and paste it in Android Folder

2) Don't use the files for RAM version, they won't wor

BTW, is there a way to solve 2)

THANX again for you great work
[HD2 Android SD Development] needabottle:
I'm a total noob at this stuff but I have to say that I bought another HD2 just on the strength of the guys in this forum. I had a HD2 before but didn't like 6.5 so dumped it and bought a Samsung Galaxy S. Galaxy S is nice and the front facing camera is great for Fring but I saw the work that was going on with the HD2 with Android and Win 7 so off to ebay I went and a nice HD2 plopped on my door this afternoon.

I had already read a shedload of posts in anticipation and literally within 10 minutes Cope's 26th rom is running on my HD2. Seems to be working a treat. Phone calls with no robot voice. Wifi and camera. My Google account synced in my apps and I'm absolutely gobsmacked at what you guys have done.

I'm using the 16GB class 2 card that came with the phone, everything seems fast, but I have a 16GB class 10, would it make any difference to use it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
why would you suggest he switch to the normal rootfs.img with the su fix rather than the magldr one? if he/she does that the other variable which controls nand_init execution will no longer be correct, thus creating an issue.

i'm working on a one size fits all gingerbread style rootfs....will have logic for setting T-MoUS/Others DNS entries....and will have logic for executing nand_init style(SDMAGLDR)....both controlled by a file with 2 variables. ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] trill12:
Anyone elses LED notification light staying on and solid? Does it right after I get a message. Only way itll go off is by either plugging in power or rebooting.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Derek0228:
So, gonna try this with magldr :D

If i'm correct, ram won't work with magldr D:

If that's the case, then i really hope we can soon use ram+magldr :)

This build sounds awesome btw.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Prozac69:
Nope. I don't get any LED notification when I get messages. Just get a notification tone.

What build are you on? Did you run a new Data image or copy across an old one? Might be worth doing a fresh data image if you haven't already.
[HD2 Android SD Development] andymck:
may just be me but, cannot use the wifi tether app. The built in android one just shows error and the wireless tether app shows starting but then stops with 'unable to start tethering, is your device rooted'.

Didn't realise there was a requirement for rooting the rom?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
somethings not right with your setup...... tethering DOES work... you do NOT need root. (you already have root)

make sure you completely remove your old android folder. back it up if you dont want to delete it.

download the the 01/26/11-2 (or newer) build again. unzip it and copy the /Android folder to your sd card. NO OLD FILES ALLOWED unless you want to try using your old data.img... but most likely the new market wont work if you use an old data.img)

boot. give it roughly 8 mins. thats it.. out of the box.... tethering works.

@leds... leds are NOT setup by default.. if you want missed call / email / sms leds.. you have to set each one up. LEDS do work.

@booting from magldr... this works :) I do not offer ANY support for "RAM" what so ever.... other then... i have conveniently supplied the files you should need to boot this as a RAM build.. but again.. I can't offer any support. if you need support you should talk to darkstone or cesmith. RAM has limitations that make it less desirable then SD anyway and as far as speed improvement is concerned (I would LOVE for someone to prove me wrong) its negligible..

you can however most definitely dual boot a nand (whatever) and cope's sd rom :) (with the provided /sdcard/android/sdmgldr/rootfs.img)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
NAND USERS: (sd only users ignore this post please)

nagivate to your sdcard and find /sdcard/android/sdmagldr/readme and open it in a text editor. R E A D I T!

(note use the rootfs.img and not the older rootfs.img.sdmagldr file thats in there... my bad I forgot to delete the old one and rename the new one as stated in the readme)

I just know someone is going to miss this... and ask.. which file from the SDMAGDR/ folder do I use rootfs.img or rootfs.img.sdmgaldr.... i will make sure I delete the old file next time... just use the rootfs.img from teh sdmagldr folder. USE THE SDMAGLDR/rootfs.img and not the other file.... do I need to repeat it one more time ;) ::))))))

bottom line is... you copy

/sdcard/android/sdmagldr/rootfs.img to

/sdcard/android/rootfs.img and that is it.... you will no longer get stuck during boot.

=================================================

Now.. if you have already done this and are still getting the boot loop.. I will need to investigate furthur, but so far users have reported that this is working correctly for them :)

Dear copenhagen !!!

thank you for this awesome build, i just have 1 question,i have tried to copy some files that would add Arabic language support to your build, these files originally are for the stock gingerbread, but after copying these files to system/lib i cant not boot any more into Android,i get stuck on the HTC logo screen,i was wondering if u could tell me how can i copy these files without messing up Android, thank you

link for the gingerbread arabic support files:

Having the same problem - I don't think it's the robo-voice issue, but rather the problem with over-sensitive mic causing high gain and background noise (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=805002). I've tried renaming my default.acdb but I'm not yet 100% sure it's working...
[HD2 Android SD Development] ayemez:
Same issue here, which did not exist in the prior build.

There are 2 rootfs.img in MAGLDR folder.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Avatiach:
I was actually wondering if it would be possible to take the old default.acdb file from a build that didn't have that problem and reuse it? Are there other files that need to be changed if doing so?

Is it possible to extract these files from an old build via the PC (e.g. explore the file system) without installing it again on the phone?

I also want to take this opportunity to provide my feedback on the 26th - other than the mic gain problem: Awesome!!

GPS works, tethering works. More than happy to donate!

thank you, looking forward for ur next release
[HD2 Android SD Development] wekxbrainx:
First of all, thanks Cope for this great and fast build. Almost everything is working smooth and well in the newest build.

But I do have a question:

I use a stereo bluetooth headset for music. The remote control button seems to not work(play/pause, fast forward, etc). However, music is great and the call button works fine. I can even use voice dialing with the call button on the headset. But rest of the button does not seem do a thing(it work fine with other roms I tried).

Any hints from anyone? Or is there some post about how to fix it that I might missed?

Thanks

In my own defense m8, actually, I did read it before posting and read the first line :

So yeah, MAGLDR USERS.
[HD2 Android SD Development] abrise:
I am also using MDJ FroYo HD v4.6 for mu daily buid and I am also thinking moving to this one.

The DLNA function is added value from HTC and doesn't exist in other builds. I have a workaround for that. I am using GIZMO that you can find on the market and works together with JRiver media center that is not free but is to me far the best music windows player. Also video capabilites are to be added soon to Gizmo. The advantage versus DLNA is that you can listen to the music of your home computer everywhere in the world. It doesn't need to be on the same wifi network.

Personally I am looking for widgets to replace HTC widgets before moving. I already have stocks, calendar and mail but i am looking for a good News widget.

edit : I have just tried Twonky from the market it works well as a DLNA server and player , it can replace HTC application

[HD2 Android SD Development] summoner:
Cope - Really great ROM!

Some bugs I've found so far:

1. I cannot get 240dpi mode working. Nothing happens when I put the build.prop file as instructed.

2. I cannot get RAM mode working. everything is extremely slow when activating RAM buid with initrd and startup files.

3. I confirm the problem with AVRCP bluetooth audio controls.

4. I want to make the taskbar bigger (icons are too small) that's why I'd like mode 240. Any other way to do this maybe?

Thanks!

Inside sdmagldr folder there are 2 rootfs.img . they are both for magldr version, but the one with .magldr extension is not meant to be used, being a "mistake" that should have been deleted

[HD2 Android SD Development] shawn1968:
Sorry if I sound bitter, but since I have been following the builds progress right from the start I feel that I am entitled to express a complaint.

The drainage of 6-7 ma on standby might be OK, but since most of us like to fool around with our HD2 all the time, the juice ain't enough for more than 5-6 hours.

A lot of us have extended batteries that we can't use since the kernel does not support them.

Sooooooo, how about a custom kernel for this specific build WITH extended battery support. Then for me this would be THE ultimate build.

It's a damn same to have to look for the nearest plug wherever you go:eek::eek::eek::eek:

Have had a look at the call quality issue. I think I've fixed it!

Instructions a in this thread. Basically copy the htcleo.acdb file into the

Reboot the phone and try a call. You'll probably need root explorer or something similar to copy files into this folder.

Market

well to me everything works fine and the build is awsome

its just that i have two issues

when i try to download something in the market it doesn't download dont know why

and i have a small unlock screen of both sim unlock and the phone screen

if somebody could give me a solution to those issues i would be so greatful

Thanks :)

Don't know about the first part of your question but the small unlock screen is adressed in the first post of this thread. Just read and you'll find it. Spare Parts app...

And you might want to have a look at the screen density too if you feel like everything is looking a little small.

Have you guys tried downloading Led Me Know from the market?

It might fix the issue. It worked for me on others builds.

POP3 Issue

I'm experiencing a problem with a POP3 account in the newest build. At times the account goes into an endless attempt to download either new mail or a full message that I've tried to opened. When this happens, it locks the account so that my PC cannot access mail. Once the endless looping starts I have to force close the mail app on the phone to unlock the account. If the loop happens during an attempt to download a larger message, the message will download immediately once I've done a forced close and reopen of the mail module.

Anyone else seeing this? Hadn't happened with previous versions. Suggestions?

Thanks.

I had the same issue with my Bose and I found the settings for using the control buttons within the different programs I am using and not within the OS. I PowerAMP but without any modifications the built-in music player seems to respond to the headset button. TuneIn and Slacker seem to respond as well, at least using the button to mute/pause.

[HD2 Android SD Development] WizP:
Yes, I've tried calling several people and they have called me with no issue. Sound is very clear on each side. Did you reboot the phone i.e. take battery out and restart after copying the file? I left the default.acdb file as it was.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mdthompson12:
I do get drops but they are in the same places every time. I take a train into Chicago and I could create a map (are you listening T-Mobile) of where they need more coverage. The connection will also waver while I am sitting at my desk. I can run SpeedTest and get 2M/600k one minute and drop to 600k/200k the next. I have seen this with other builds so I am fairly confident that the issue is T-Mobile in my area and not the build. Either that or the issue is inherent with Android in general running on the HD2.
