My bad - in yXPlayer I didn't check 'play mp4'. It's working great!
[HD2 Android SD Development] redbill1980:
my rom is the last (9th feb)

The solution is to edit build.prop and replace to:

ro.product.name=htc_bravo

ro.product.device=bravo

ro.product.board=bravo

i test it and work fine for me.

reboot needed
[HD2 Android SD Development] emiru:
Not helping. I changed it, and restarted prohone, but android is not loading. Device is restarting after HTC green logo.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
ro.product.device=bravo

This is only change you need.

Autorotation works again.

Changed, rebooted - works.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
You have to create a folder named "root" inside the "Android" folder. Inside the "root" folder you create another folder named "system". Inside the "system" folder you create a folder named "framework". You put the framework file into that folder and reboot.

I think this should also work at a later time not only at first boot but I'm not 100% on that. Try it before you go through the whole installation process again.

If you feel the icons are too small, it's because the screen density is set to 180 instead of the 240 most people are used to. There is a folder inside the "Android" folder named "240buildprop". Inside you find root/system/build.prop. copy that to your "Android" folder an add framework folder/framework file.

Don't know about the incorrect time thing. Never happened to me but I remember reading about it. Try searching this thread

Well so far it's running great, a fine build :)

Hi cope, could u pls fix the data drop issue first? unstable data connect for an android = a mobile phone can't make phone call.
[HD2 Android SD Development] emiru:
When I install 511 version it is working, 911 is making problems.

Edit: I fixed programs permissions and I still receive Force close for some programs.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
Data problems see page 180

what sort of permissions did you fix? cause there shouldnt be any "permissions" problems.

guys if you think you've fixed something, we want to know WHAT you did.

-changing those entries in the build.prop for the camera.. wont do anything.

-you are getting f.c. programs because they are NOT compatible with cm7.

send an email to the programs/apps author to fix it.

-THE ONLY PROBLEM that is plaguing this build atm is the data drop.

which i've posted a HUGE post on page 180. ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY.

(and of course the green camera tinge.... which is most likely a nightly update away... this is something cyanogen has done)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11249801&postcount=1800

DATA PROBLEMS see page 180. That is all i can do for data. We CAN change to rmnet.... but the speeds are slow. so you choose. ppp with the occasional data drop. or rmnet with slow speeds. AGAIN I talked about this in my post on page 180.

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

I have another one for you.

A:It's green light.

Q:What does it do?

A:Turns green.

I have NO color problems with the current build, why do you guys?

UPDATE: Tried Flash, and yes green tint.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shost:
Confirmed, i changed only this line in build.prop rebooted, freeze witk black screen and green htc logo, after 10 min i pulled batery off and second boot is ok. Green tint with flash is gone and autorotation works.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
As far as I know - there is no permission to fix.

This time i beg to differ. This is workaround, I know - but temporary it fixes it. I don't know what else would be broken using this entry but ... green tint is gone.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Gwenfair:
gps is not working?? and usb tether
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
... nobody must ever charge their phone. Plug phone into power, unplug...no more green light until charging or USB. Wow....
[HD2 Android SD Development] newcountry:
Ha...Ha... Finally I know the problem la.....After change the build.prop under folder "system", pls delete the "root" folder under the folder "Android" or directly edit the build.prop under the folder "Android>root>system". The folder "root" is for change from 180 to 240 and I copy it under folder "Android" on the first boot, so everytime I reboot, the build.prop will change back to original.

Now Camera is OK, but data still not ok. Have changed the dns setting but no help.
[HD2 Android SD Development] emiru:
I have read somewhere on this thread that if I get Force close I should open program ROM something in this built and chose option Fix permissions.

I have run it, and received message that it should fix Force close problem with programs, but it didnt.

I realy like this built, I dont need Sense, I would like it to work.

Is there some requirements for Radio version or something else I should install?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ChrisKang:
Just tried the latest version, however, the robot voice issue for outgoing calls still happens on my HD2 :( Anyone else rans into the same issue?
[HD2 Android SD Development] lohhongkhai:
my prob is i can't make it to 240 build prop(which is with the bigger icons and stuff right).

I copied the folder to android, but nothing changed.

anything extra.

read the 1st page. no more instructions given. sry if this has been asked.

nvm fixed it. thx!
[HD2 Android SD Development] benicz:
please let us first get this build bugfree.

i always disliked builds getting lost in gui-tweaking whilst getting laggy and buggy.

all gui tweaking should be left over to spinoffs.

(i also count buttonsavor to this one...again forgot to delete the damn file :rolleyes:)

thumbs up - mine working fine now. the reboot-5-times-approach seems to be a good one!

but i still wonder if there is away to manually start the market-app-resync. haven't found solutions yet...
[HD2 Android SD Development] mishans:
hello

Is it normal that when you turn FMradio bluetooth are turn on also?

handset will not work without it.

Why?

[HD2 Android SD Development] bfcbri:
Looks like you have to do it from new as didn't seem to work on existing. Thanks very much for you help. Will now see if I can figure out how to change the DNS settings for t mobile uk and see if that fixes the data drop problem.

Once again thanks very much for your help :-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] newcountry:
reboot, then uncheck the audiable touch tones before make a first call.
[HD2 Android SD Development] newcountry:
data drop fixed

Finally the data drop issue solved. Need to delete the "#" before "net." in the build.prop, not just change the DNS setting.

But I have an application some times can't reconnect to internet when I switch off wifi and get mobile data reconnected. Not every time, but sometime is ok and sometime it say no network connected, other program don't have this problem. It is a newspaper app, called "am730", but it is minor issue.

Now everything work for me. :-))))))))

this works with 2 ext4 partitions right?
[HD2 Android SD Development] StarLog:
DOCENT,

Check your PM :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
I can't get this to work with ext4. it never goes past the htc logo. do I have to copy/modify something for ext4?

It works without ext4 partitions, but I'm sure ext4 is faster than data.img.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
For now it works with ext3 partition - I am living proof of that. Try change your fs type to ext3 - as for now, we have no great improvment for using ext4 over ext3
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Tom - PM checked, you have editor rights ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] 2b2b:
cope !

thanx 4 Your tip: toporesize worked - applied version 9-feb, created brand new data.img, did basic configs, shutdown, resized new img to 563MB (slider permitted only 300 or that size), put some of my apps in Your dir "AndroidApps", rebooted, restored only data to some of my apps with titanium - and after all that, I entered my google account and let it sync all stuff.

workin' a treat !

startup time with 563MB:

50 sec to cyanmod-logo, then other 55sec to launcher-ready for login

as the rom is gettin' finer & sexier with each release, only one hickup:

"WLAN-scan"

every time You scan wlans - You get a list of current wlans. so far so good.

but if You move on, if You don't dis/enable WLAN, every scan does'nt get new WLANS, keeping the first scanned list. I thought, this is caused by faulty apps, but tried it with included scan - same behavior.

everyone with a fix ?

(gmap and wlan scanners are not usable that way)

anyway - high five !!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
damn, is there any way to keep my data now? I already set it up with data.img. Is there any major performance improvement over data.img?

Also, I love this build. It is pretty fast.

So what should I do to use ext3? just boot with 2 ext3 partitions or do I need to add/modify something?
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
I do not get it. If you have data in data.img and you want to use extra features make sure you've read Cope's manual for partitioning SD CARD. All you need are two partitions: first, FAT32 and second (between 512 and 1024 GB) ext3. That's it - after reboot all data will be transfered automatically
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
thanks for telling me this. Exactly what I wanted to know. I'll give it a try.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Backup your data.img!
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
FYI

so heres a little bit of info for those of you (who have your sdcard partitioned for apps2sdext) who want to know what

the apps2sdext does.

instead of installing an app and their corresponding app data to your data.img,

the device automatically installs it to the ext partition of the sdcard.

what does this mean?

if something happens and lets say you mess up your android install for some reason. you can

delete your /sdcard/android folder

WHAT? yes.. no joke.

copy the build that you downloaded.. new .. old.. whatever

to the sdcard (basically a new install of android)***

***(the build has to support apps2sdext or this wont work for you :p)

boot

let it create a new data.img

go through the first few setup screens.. which bsaically gets skipped anyways cause we've disabled the setup wizard.

and when you get to the home screen

BAM

ALL YOUR APPS ARE ALREADY THERE.

dont believe me..???

try it ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Ehem ehem ... but not your DATA ;) Only APPS ;)

# don't allow /data/data on sd because of upgrade issues - move it if possible

if [ -d /sd-ext/data ];

then

busybox cp -a /sd-ext/data/* /data/data/;

busybox rm -rf /sd-ext/data;

fi;
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
thats what i mean..

the app's data...

like

the files it needs to run with

not the app settings.. but this is minor

you can restore this with titanium backup

ahem
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
yeah yeah ... I know. But it sounded like ... magic trick.

And your're right, still you have to restore DATA you know.

Thank You.

THANK YOU

for your presence here on our thread. It's cool to have an individual which uses our build over the others and has been as helpful as you have been. I recognize that we probably didn't get great first impressions of each other. That aside, I really find your presence here to be of great benefit to Copenhagen, myself, and the following.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
might have made some progress on the data drops.

will report findings. :)

I hope it's not sarcasm :)

In other case - there is no need to thank me. I am a just regular user...
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
not a bit of sarcasm tbh. was telling copenhagen i like the faq you made and all.
[HD2 Android SD Development] stim141:
So far its a great build. Thanks. The only problem I had was:

1. Robot voice - solved by removing keytones

2. Data - a few issues. Data drops and SLOW data establish after a reboot. Generally takes a few minutes - 5 maybe to get connected. Once connected and in a stable signal area its been fine. Good H speeds etc. When phone in standby reconnects are hit or miss. Can reestablish by going into Airplane mode then turn on phone.

Did the removal of the #'s from the suggested file - rebooted - same problems. On Tmobile US.

3. Adobe Flash - latest version - don't know if its the build or just Adobe. Sometimes it works in youtube othertimes it will just crash web browser to home screen. Sometimes you get the spinning dot in the video screen without a connect. Still looking into it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jhono235:
I'm on T-Mobile US also. I switched to the TMO build prop and deleted the old one and data starting picking up after wifi immediately. Also, make sure your apn is epc.tmobile.com. I'm running very stable with this build. Thanks Docent, Warren, and Cope.
[HD2 Android SD Development] StarLog:
COPE,

See the red circle, I cannot go to your link to see the process to format/partition. I bet others have the same problem.

REASON:

StarLog, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
[HD2 Android SD Development] peramikic:
That's a negative on the AVRCP. Tested with Motorola S9 and T505

A2DP is working, but remote control is not

As far as the camera fix using bravo product name. I believe thst the android modules for HTC have calibration data in them and there is no leo calibration data but there is for bravo
[HD2 Android SD Development] tommykry:
jhono235,can you explain a little more detail, i am a t mous user as well. so in the system folder that has: buildprop and the TMObuildprop should i delete the "buildprop" and just keep the "TMObuildprop" Also where do i check my apn is epc.tmobile.com?

Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jhono235:
Yes delete the original buildprop and rename the TMObuildprop to what the original was named. You check apn in settings>wireless&network settings>mobile network settings>network operators> T-Mobile.
[HD2 Android SD Development] tommykry:
Thanks, will try it out.

Tommy:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] tommykry:
Ok, so far so good! i'll post back about how the data is, if it drops or not, but i can confirm the the Camera (green tint w flash) work around works:D

Thanks you guys for a great build so far, your time, skills and great work is very appreciated!

Tommy

One other weird little thing after i did the green tint fix thing and saved the TMObuildprop as buildprop when i rebooted my time and date were set to like nov last year and the time was off as well even w the :automatic - use network-provided values checked in settings? dont know if that is normal or not?

P.s. Love the on and off animation, so does everyone else that sess it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
@the partitioning guide... ?

I dont know what that's all about to be honest.. i get the same thing when I try to access it. i guess i can re-write it.. seems to be a tad bit of work to do it all over again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Phenomenon:
So far this version hasn't worked when trying the Windows Phone 7/ Android dual boot method. I get it freezing right at setup. I already have the latest MAGDRL. Dunno what's wrong.
[HD2 Android SD Development] StarLog:
Is it possible the forum moderator could unlock it
[HD2 Android SD Development] jzibit17:
Give it a day maybe 2 and see if your data drops. Do report back plz. I edit my apn settings to those of a previous built that I didn't have data problems I also edit the built prop the correct way to t-mobile dns numbers and still had problems after I lost signal at work where I don't get service. After that data wouldn't reconnect.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jhono235:
Make sure you're doing the instructions in the readme file in the sdmagldr folder.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
guys.

data is as stable as it can get until the cyanogen team works out the known bug of data drop after phone call.

hell, i may look into it myself here soon. shouldn't be so bad, just seems that ppp somehow loses it's route to the ril.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dafinger:
Warren (and Cope), thanks for your work on this. I'm on TMO US and I'm using the TMO build prop and confirmed that I'm on epc.tmobile.com.

Data is actually fairly stable for me, the drops don't bother me too often. But the problem is the reconnection after a drop. if data does drop, or if i go someplace with weak or no signal and lose the signal, the data would never reconnect by itself after it reacquires the the signal. Voice will come back (white bars) and I can make calls, but not data. It'll have the white H indicator, but no data comes through. I have to toggle airplane mode or data enable/disable every time to get data back. This is a huge hassle because I'm in NYC with lots of dense buildings where the signal gets flaky. I'm not using WiFi at all.

What is it about airplane mode that lets these builds connect to data that it can't do automatically after a data drop or a lost signal?

I never had this issue when I was using HD2ONE (Froyo) CM6 with Hastarin's kernals with my phone. I used to get data drops from time to time too, but it wouldn't have any problems reconnecting after it reacquires a lost signal. Is this a CM7 issue? A Gingerbread issue? A kernal issue?

Aside from this reconnection issue, this build is amazing. Kudos to Cope and Warren for keeping Android on SD alive!
[HD2 Android SD Development] jhono235:
Anybody else having problems with Wi-Fi dropping when display rotates to landscape mode??
[HD2 Android SD Development] nzxtneo:
I just copied the instructions yesterday.

Maybe I messed them up :p

best to do this when your starting from scratch and/or have a blank sdcard (otherwise save all your data first) (the order matters. fat32, ext3, linuxswap)

-get MiniTool Partition wizard home edition (for use in windows) - free $$

-load your sdcard as a removable device (either with a card reader or in winmo connection settings "usb to pc" set to diskdrive)

-install and run Minitool software

-choose your sdcard (make sure your not doing this to your pc hard drive!!!)

-delete the partition

-create a fat32 primary "default sector size" Label it Android or whatever you want your sdcard to be labelled as (i called mine 14.3 GB) as this is whats left of my 16gb card at the end. choose a size (your size may very) (this is where youll store all your music pictures documents downloads 'your Android install folder exists here' etc so make this a majority of your sdcard's size... ie: 14.3 gb) click done or okay or whatever the finish button is

-click the grey unallocated space in your sdcard and

-create a Ext3 primary "default sector size" label it sd-ext choose a size (android will reference this as internal memory, it will be used although unseen to you. size ie: 1024mb)click done

-again click the grey unallocated space left in your sdcard and

-create a linuxswap primary partition. choose a size (use what's left of your sdcard.. i had 130mb left) click done

now apply all the actions you just setup in the top left corner there is a blue apply button.

minitool will create your sdcard the way you set it up. very quickly too i must say.

when done, close the mini tool. copy your Android folder back to your mem card. unmount your sdcard as a removable device (put back into device etc)

and boot Android.

there is a video of a guy doing EXACTLy what I'm talking about here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyO6DOS1leQ

This provides android with space for a swap file, extra internal memory, and doesnt require a lot of effort... and at the same time increasing the performance of your install of android.
[HD2 Android SD Development] newcountry:
Thanks for this detail instruction, lets try it tonight after bk home.

I got 2 Android system in 1card, can i put both system in after use yr method to format the card?
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
I am going to put this in FAQ with images... and Linux bash version ...

But slowly.

About data drops - I started debug, and it looks like interface ppp0 isn't going up after few switches (wifi/mobile).

It's getting up for a second after that it's going down ... and "da capo al fine" ...in music terms...

Also lost ability to send MMS ... just out of the blue
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

Looks like I may have uncovered a fix for data which isn't currently allowing our phones into scope.

should fix data drop after phone call pretty reliably.

which means, once in place this will be the most stable ppp build i do believe. :-P
[HD2 Android SD Development] jzibit17:
Hopefully this also fixes the problem that I've been having that after I lose signal while surfing the internet it doesn't reconnect ... either way thanks for taking your time and looking into this issue.
