[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
I am not squashing any ideas by suggesting docent work with us dev's via pm or simply putting one post with his ideas. I am however wanting to squash the support of his test entries in this thread. How this by any means squashes docents ability to simply suggest or work with us dev's, I do not know. It seems that once again nobody read what my real statement was....with exception of docent which I believe sees what I was getting at, based on his last response. With that said, I've already killed two issues today, our GPS(yes again) and the leds...however cm has removed their configuration for android notifications, so beyond knowing your charging or not your leds wont notify you of things.

As I said, don't want to sound rash. Just wanted to clarify what I feel would be most productive....while lowering the risk that a newb messes stuff up, creates new issues, etc.

Thanks for the consideration of my personal developer view. I'm tier 2/3 support and a student by day. This isn't an uneducated rant. Those with experience, like docent can make suggestions but I don't want to see the same suggestions litered on every page of the thread....it doesn't help us when we go through and pick through the pages to find the suggestions we may implement and the repitition of educated technical peoples suggestions encourages users who know enough to be dangerous to muck around with the files.

Understanding these things will make our development experience better and will enable us to utilize suggestions quickly and easily.

Cope, this is the kind of info that is very good to know. So please explain this stuff more when you have time.

[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Id say you were in Amsterdam having those funny cakes :P

Fun side appart, Warren and Docent had just a small miss-understanding that both didn't mean any harm. Just different point of views. Both were good hearted in their own ways.

PS: HoneyComb is OUT!!!!!!!!!!! But it doesn't seem it's headed to smartphones anytime soon :( .... It looks pretty cool
[HD2 Android SD Development] bbsnick:
First of all, a big BRAVO for this great work!

but.. Please help... conflict...

I had 01/29/11(2) and now the 2/01/11 wich have all these known problems (led, usb, ... )

back to 01/29/11(2) or try 01/30/11 ?

what's your opinion?
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
Well, 30 is pretty good, more fixes than 29(2). I just went back for the Arabic feature that was there and dissapeared in 30. If it wasnt for arabic, i would go the 30Jan route ;) FC fix, Market fix, etc..
[HD2 Android SD Development] bbsnick:
thank you for your answer, but at this build (30) , Led notification stay on like the last?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
i encourage the migration to the NEWEST 02/01/11 build.

known issues:

GPS (but here is the fix)

gps will be fixed in 02/03/11 build.

USBtoPC

Discovered after I uploaded that the new leo base doesnt include working usbtopc, will fix for next update.

LEDS

cyanogenmod team removed the applet to config led lights from settings->cyanogen settings (most likely it was breaking something... it will be added back in soon dont worry - nothing we can do about this)

SCREEN OFF ANIMATION:

yes I like it too.. lol .. but they have done this before you non noobs should remember. they put it back last time.. they'll put it back again. hahah your friends can almost certainly wait to be mystified by the crt style screen off effect that your killer phone has. lol that was funny mewhah

Low Audible Selection Sounds:

it is working... if you listen closely.... either way this is the way the build compiled.. (again.. the cm team should correct this over the days to come & again nothing I can do about it now)

the data arrows that you guys worry about so much do not turn grey and more

(thanks to docent)

These are the ONLY known issues with the newest build.

and just incase you guys dont understand the significance of what the newest build embodies - let me quickly explain.

Up until feb 1 2011 - android for the hd2 was PORTED from other builds.. ie bravo, desire.... evo... etc.

Starting feb 1 2011 - android (gingerbread/cm7) is being DEVELOPED specifically for our htc leos.

Do you see where I am going with this? Where are you going to have MORE problems.... with a rom ported from another device.. or a rom developed and built specifically for your device?

if you havn't already.

INSTALL THE NEW BUILD! lol (missing led config aside) I PROMISE - youll be glad you did.

@arabic users.. I don't know why cm team added then removed arabic support... (it wasnt me... i didnt take it out) but I'm looking into why.

be patient with me please.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
Nope, doesn't stay on. Works just fine ;)

Only in 2/1 stays on.

To be honest with you, just as Cope stated in my above post, 2/1 is pretty darn good. I dunno if it's psychological or just me, but I can see better improvement in performance.

I just went back for Arabic support and my old data.img causing FC on 2/1

However, I have both 29(2) and 2/1 on my SD card. So all afternoon was playing with 2/1.

(NEW data.img, don't use old, like cope said in 1st post, I tried old image, FC every minutes), and I have to admit, liking it a lot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] st3v3:
yeah i updated to the latest one using my existing data.img which worked fine except SU wont allow root access
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
I tried various libs, frameworks....none worked for CM7+Ginger, either HTC boot screen freeze or Loops.

Anyhow, Here are a few links, just in case maybe you can think of something better ;)

http://ardoid.com/?p=219 (don't worry, links have translation in English as well)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9496928&postcount=2

And found the attached one as well, just forgot where was the link from (will reference it once found).

Hope that helps Cope

EDIT: Will try Framework and Libs from 29(2) on 2/1, just not anytime soon.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
So I have been using the jan 30 release for a bit and I think my stance is going to go 180. This is a great rom and after tinkering with some display options and found where to change themes, this is pretty darn good.

This is now shaping up to be much better than the MDJ Froyo 4.6 version with the gingerbread goodness.

I love the M3 music player. But the widgets for the homescreen suck. Is there a way to have a music widget launch a different music app?
[HD2 Android SD Development] bbsnick:
Like you, 3 days now I play with 29 (2) and very worried that the news had a problem. It is true that it was impressive but BETTER. I'll put now 30 and would expect the solutions by Cope.

Thank you again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
EXCELLENT Work with this. THANKYOU

oh ...

"Sorry, you are limited to five thanks per day"

I'd thank you but im out again!

okay so another explanation for you.

as the cm team updates the different components of our android build. they occationaly will remove something - like the led config applet.. or.. the screen off animation.. or .. arabic support - because ir is breaking something else in the build. the last few builds have been missing arabic support. But dont worry.

they will add it back in once they figure out whats cause the breaks.

just have to b patient.

anyone who hasnt done so already.. make sure you set up a schedual to auto backup your apps in titanium backup. this way, you can at the drop of a hat, upgrade and never be missing any of your apps.

if anyone is experiencing fc's after the upgrade, you should probably make a new data img I made a new one with the feb 1 build and NOTHIGN has fc'd on me since. The market place will restore a significant portion of your apps auto matically after your device has been up and running .. last night after a half hour of me doing nothing.. about 75% of my apps were restored. then I just used titanium backup and run: middle hard key: batch: Restore MISSING apps & app data -> then choose only the app option (choose app data @ your own risk yo). This is the safest way to restore your apps.

done. and done.

use sms backup+ (will be included in next release as per xda user Copenhagen's request. lol) to auto backup your text messages, your MMS messages, your call log, and other things automatically to your gmail account. then you can update your build @ anytime and be able to restore ALL your (stuff listed above) like THAT.

hmm.

/end tips

remember new data.img's are your best friend ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
sorry i reread your question.

"how can i have 3 music player installed but have media widgets on the home screen that control a player different then 3 player"

i think is what you mean. (not that i dont understand you.. hahah maybe im just tired)

you should be able to do this easily.

find a media player that has widgets that you like. I donno never looked.

I've always liked winamp.. maybe winamp for android has widgets...

add a new widget to your home screen and choose winamp instead of say.. 3.

(i have not done this personally but it will work)

esentially you would use winamps widget instead of 3's. easy peasy.

there may also be an option in 3 that allow you to disable control from the home screen.. if it is interfering with another program...

i donno im just guessing here.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
new data.img for u mister should get that fixed.. backup your apps with titanium

and run a batch restore apps & data.. and then only choose apps, on a new data.img it will take you 30 mins tops good as new.
[HD2 Android SD Development] st3v3:
yeah was thinking its time to update it, cant do titanium cause it aint got root permissions apparently. thats ok will do it from scratch, will give me something to do on the trip home this afternoon.

oh yeah you guys do top notch work as always, this is still a damn fine rom!
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
Don't worry about it m8, no need to explain yourself. You're thanking us MORE THAN ENOUGH by providing us A VERY NICE BUILD :D

Will help as much as I can to help reach a GREAT BUILD.

Thanks again :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
hey okay do this then

estrongs file explorer

has an app manager that you can use to backup all your apps...

its not as intuitive as titanium, but if your in the least worried.. at least youll have a copy of all your apps you can install later (AND you dont need root.. i dont think)

and we thankyou for the support :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Cool, I'll try this out. I really wish I could get the sense music player widget though. I have a nice lil project on my hands. The 3 music player app blows away the htc,android player app. But its home-screen widget is really bad. compared to the htc,android players.

Other question, is changing the lock screen the same as doing it for a default android device or is there something specific with the HD2-based versions?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
it should be the same as for others. what are your plans an ill read up on them so i know what you are doing..
[HD2 Android SD Development] st3v3:
oh lol i just saw this after im loading everything back onto a wiped card, thats ok ill just set stuff up again doesnt take that long really and i can clean out the stuff i didnt like lol
[HD2 Android SD Development] needabottle:
Well the battery drain thing seems weird. Got it sussed in 30th install. Went for todays update and standby is back to 56mAh with clean install and same apps loaded. Back to 30th.

we've tracked down an issue that COULD be helping to drain the battery. Warren is working on it over the next little while.. we should have some progress on this to report soon.

also discovered usb to pc support not enabled with the new leo base. will apply fix for upcomming AmeriCanAndroid Launch.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
I'm basically trying to mimic the Desire HD lockscreen style that came with MDJ's Froyo HD 4.6 build. It had the album art with the music controls along with a slide down meechanism to unlock.

I'll look around the market first to see what i can find and try em out. I'll report back what I find if it'll help at all.

Testing early boot stages of my phone I found out something strange:

I believe there is a problem with paths... or busybox :)

And this time, being warned, I give no editable solution ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nihonno:
Haha, Don't worry Docent. I'm not exactly fresh fish when it comes to this. I always have a back up plan for my back up plan. I don't edit integral system files without a fail-over. I edit the build.prop file quite often and comfortably. A few good pages into this thread, I was the one that recommended that people do the build.prop editing themselves when they complained about the 180dpi setting. If I feel as if I don't understand something, I research it for myself. The fixes that Cope and Warren do are great... actually excellent. But I'd also like to know how they came about fixing it. I've always been the type to ask "how" and not so much "when".

Thanks to everyone that has added their 2 cents into this. It's been pretty educational!
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
@everyone ... there will be an update tonight.. the last one before we switch over to the AmeriCanAndroid name.

gps will be fixed in tonights update.

audible selection tones have been fixed.

-led config app from cyanogenmod settings still removed

-screen off animation still removed

-warren has done some work on wifi calling for t-mo customers (no firm eta yet.. thats for him to say)

-warren also found an issue that was helping drain the battery.. I believe he has fixed that as well.

-another addition ill leave for warren to introduce/explain :)

-cm7 updates

-usb to pc fixed as well

upload as soon as i get home from work..

ttys

@docent. init.d apps2sd to work properly you need to partition your sd card.

there needs to be an ext2 or ext3 partition exist for apps2sd to work 100% correctly.

My touchscreen died on the most recent build.

Just a FYI.

Could have been the fact I changed the unlock screen to rotary style in cyanogenmod settings.

I also had the data problem with the green arrows flashing, but unable to connect.

apart from that great build!
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Yes Cope, I have this partition and I couldn't make it work.

As you can see exitcode (127), and syntax errors says other things.

127	"command not found"	illegal_command	Possible problem with $PATH or a typo
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
what is the date of your build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
ext2 works fine, ext4 is called by that script if i recall correct IF IT'S AVAILABLE. it's probably erroring on that for you because we haven't tested with an ext4 partition yet. ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Tested with ext2/ext3/ext4. Same output. As you can see init.d has problems with command, not partitions.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
okay thanks for the feedback, we will look at this tonight :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Thank you.

As for now I can suspect 2 things: busybox, or symbolic links (to busybox) in /xbin.

They look kinda strange to me, but after all day's work I want to have some familly time now, so ... no time to rebuild it again.

- I've copied the rootfs.img.sdmagldr from /sdcard/Android/SDMAGLDR and renamed it to rootfs.img

- I've copied the startup.txt from /sdcard/Android/SDMAGLDR

Google Goggles fix

Just a quick post, I have been using your build since 1/29 and find it remarkable stable, and smooth. I wanted to give back to this discussion, and here it is.

The one thing I like to use most is google goggles, as it isn't a windows compatible program, but I have had issues every time I have tried it out on this ROM. Searching for a solution in this thread, it seemed that uninstalling it and reinstalling it from market would fix this. The only problem was, you can't remove it in market. So here are the steps I took to fix this:

1) Using Titanium backup tap the backup/restore button on the top of the app

2) Scroll down to Google Goggles

3) Tap Google goggles, and select un-install from the box that pops up

4) Go to the Market and install Goggles

Problem solved. Google goggles works fine now...

Maybe in future versions you can leave out goggles, so we can just mannually install it...

Now I have this problem licked, I am looking forward to your new GB builds, I like running the latest Android on my HD2, it ranks high on the geek factor scale!
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
thankyou.. now we have enough information to help you! :)

by the sounds of it.... your not even getting the sd build's boot process started.

1. make sure you hvae the latest version of magldr.... 1.13 or 1.12 I think.

2. when you boot magldr, you have to choose the sdboot settings and choose your android folder as the folder to boot from.. I don;t know why, but DFT in ALL the wisdom decided they would default their sdboot directory as something like "sd ad" (or something similar) which is retarded because NOONE uses that as their android folder name. Either way... you are missing this step. Choose android. Once this is done you should be able to boot.

I dont mind helping you with this, but just so you know.. magldr has it own thread.. and so does boot sd from magldr. But like I said I dont mind helping you with this.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
okay... no progress with that question/answer.

next question. What is the radio version of your hd2. ie: 2.15.50.14

you can see it on the very first screen when you boot your hd2 in red at the bottom.

please provide this to us........ also.. if your radio rom version is lower then mine, you should upgrade it for better performance... see "hd2 radio rom mastter thread"
[HD2 Android SD Development] Canterbury:
hey, i've clean installed 1/2/2011 (1feb) and liking it. MAGLDR method

Also followed your sd-card setup for ext and linux partition - and assume it "just works"

I'm dual booting with wp7. (so good to know wp7 doesn't care about the sd-card setup once its all running.

Worth mentioning - green LED stayed on after fully charging and removing charger.. re-connected and disconnected charger turned it off.

Installed Camera 360 from Market, and upon opening (phone in landscape) the picture was shunted to the right a bit... almost like it didn't like the dpi setup..
