For those us that re-install all apps from SD card after a fresh build is there a new way to get Market to be notified of this, so it looks out for updates ?

In the Froyo NAND you could goto Manage apps, force stop, then clear data. But in Gingerbread this is always greyed out.

Is there another way to get Market updated ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] uxu:
I had the same problem, but after i installed a new app, all old apps i restored are shown under my apps. Hope that helps

This build is really working like a charm now. Tried Navigon this morning and it's working fine with the gps-fix.

Very little batterydrainage. I use BT-power to switch on BT when charging (so it connects the carradio automatically in the car when plugged in).

I'm happy! :D

[HD2 Android NAND Development] corrsea:
Does GPS status show any satellites at all?

Ie are there some bars showing but you are just not getting a fix?

If there are no bars at all then you probably do have a hardware problem. The only real way to check would be to go back to winmo and see if the GPS is working.

If you do see some bars then it is working but you are just not getting a fix.

Try using the Leo agps injector widget to ensure the agps data is downloaded. I'll attach it to this post shortly.

If this still does not work search for the GPS libraries thread and flash the 2.1 nmea libs.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Yes, you can do it, but it's kind of tricky if you don't want to lose any data...

Considering you want to keep all data, I'd suggest you do this :

1) Boot into CWM, do a full NANDROID backup

2) Backup the data you have on the FAT partition of your SD card

3) Repartition the SD card (I'd rather use ext4, it is said to perform better)

4) Restore the backup you've done in step 2) to the FAT partition of your SD card

5) Boot into CWM, restore the NANDROID backup you did in step 1)

That should be it.

What do you think about the fact of making an EXT3 partition of 2048MB?

thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] corrsea:
See Yank55's post above for how to do it. Personally I doubt if you would need that much memory.

Good luck with the GPS. If it does work under winmo. Then it should with android. perhaps you might try a different radio.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Agreed, I have a 4096Mb sdext partition, and loads of apps, and only ~700Mb used as to now, and I install and configure everything to use "internal" memory whenever possible.

So I think, depending on the size of your SD-card (and the space you are willing to spare for sdext), I'd use either 1024 or 2048, 4096 is way too much.

But I don't need the extra space in my FAT partition and, honestly, I've just been too lazy to resize the sdext partition of my SD card from 4096 to 2048 so far :D

reconnect to 3G during phonecall

Hi guys,

I'm experiencing the following behaviour:

- connected to 3G, recieve call, not leaving 3G area, internet stays connected

- connected to GPRS, recieve call, loose internet connection (=normal), entering 3G area, internet doesn't connect untill I hang up the phone..

Is there a way to get the phone to autoconnect to 3G (when available) during a phonecall?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] general1977:
I don't think a switch of network standard is possible during a call. This is a network limitation.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Macelangelo77:
What kernel are you using?

Sincerely,

[HD2 Android NAND Development] dwali:
I seem to remember this wasn't the case in winmo.. (but I could be wrong on that one..)

2.6.32.15_tytung_r14
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Macelangelo77:
You could try one of the more recently updated kernels, like Fikret or Dorimanx. Just look at the first page of the Dev-section, they're both active threads. I know that there were several changes regarding switching from 3G to GPRS during a call, mainly for power saving purposes. I assume the Devs have built in a mechanism to make sure it reconnects when switching networks, which should solve your issue. Haven't noticed it myself, btw.

When trying a new kernel, always make a backup with nandroid first, replace kernel and include this roms initrd.gz, clear dalvik cache and wipe cache position before rebooting.

For your convenience...

Tytungs r1 kernel will possibly also work. Obviously the initrd needs to be replaced. I've not tried it yet myself.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Haven't followed Tytung's ICS kernel development... Do you think it might perform better than Dorimanx's in GB ?

JP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] corrsea:
I think it might. I will probably try it next week. I've given up on Dori for the moment. Currently using either r14 or fikret and trying to work out the best settings for me in terms of performance and battery life. Its easier to do this with stable kernels.

Found a great little app called wifi timeout. Switches off wifi on screen off much better than internal settings. It really improved battery life with fikret so just started testing it with r14 today.

Hopefully as things settle with ics Tytung will have some time to spare for this ROM again. In the meantime I'll probably update to the latest clk. There are also rumors of a new magdlr in the pipeline so there's lots of life in the old hd2 yet :-)

Hi Yank,

No luck with r1. I flashed it using your reflasher for the initrd but it just bootloops on me. It might work on magdlr. Back to fikret for now. Ill just have to wait for Tytung to release a clk version for this ROM.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
See you're keen on using friket rather than Dorimanx, what is your experience with friket ? Is the Video-Bug (filming stops after ~12 mins) solved as well in it ?

I'm quite satisfied with the behaviour of Dorimanx's 4.7, no GPS wakelock since I installed it (2 days ago), everything else working like a charm, except maybe the governors are a bit too aggressive, I don't get deep sleep anymore, but battery drain feels unchanged... (moderate use yesterday, WiFi almost connected all the time, and still ~50% left when getting home 12 hours after unplugging).

JP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] corrsea:
Unfortunately I've not had a stable dorimanx kernel since 3.2 and 3.6. My main issues have been data drops, freezes and a variety of wakelocks. His kernels have all been fast and smooth though.

Tytungs and Fikret kernels are both more stable for me, with better battery life. The only issue I have with fikret is that my sd card is not detected on boot. I have to eject and re-insert it. After that it works perfectly. I've not really tested the camera yet but I suspect it's OK.

I've had basically the same experience on another ROM I like (Tweakos pure cm7). I switch roms every other week just for variety.

Ill keep on trying dori's kernels on both roms as they come out, although I suspect he will always sacrifice stability for performance.

The good thing is at least we have plenty of choice. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
I've had drawbacks on kernels after 3.2 up to 4.6, but 4.7 is really behaving pefectly well for me :D

I'll give the cm7 a closer look, I've always liked cm ROM fro the extra features and for the idea of it, but never found a cm7 ROM clean enough to suit my expectations on the HD2, there were always some kind of drawbacks, so that I settled for Tytung's AOSP, everything just works here ;)

At the time I also gave a closer look at Hyperdroid's cm7, but I kept coming back here :cool:

How would you rate Tweakos pure cm7 compared to NexusHD2 ?

JP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] corrsea:
Its on a par with this ROM. Clean and simple with very few, if any, problems. I like them both equally.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Download must be complete at work in the meantime, will flash it on my dev HD2 tomorrow and let you know my impressions ;)

JP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Hi,

I've just tested fikret kernel on my daily HD2, works fine, but I must say the interface feels

a lot swifter with Dorimanx's 4.7 which proves as stable to me as was 3.2 at the time...

Think I'll stick with it for now.

Also I've reinstalled JuiceDefender, which I uninstalled as I thought it was counterproductive but I was wrong, now I go for 16 hours with moderate use with still more than 50% juice left, mobile/WiFi connected only once every 15 minutes, whereas before I came home with mere ~25% left, sometimes even less than 10% !

Pure CM7 looks promising, will do some further tests on my dev HD2, but eventually I

think it might just be the next ROM for my daily ;)

[HD2 Android NAND Development] bogdatov:
If I want to install dorimanx 4.7 do I just install it "as is" or I have to play with init.rc (or whatever it is called) ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
You need to flash its Rom, and can use my reflasher (look a few pages back) to reflash the original NexusHD2 initrd.gz. Or you can place the NexusHD2 initrd.gz in the Custom folder in the kernel zip-file.

JP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] general1977:
Careful not to mix things up! What he wanted to say is: You need to flash his kernel, ...

You don't want to flash dorimanx's ROM if you want to keep tytungs NexusHD.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] ellisbodds:
Okay, bit of a battery drain problem here.

Sense 3.5 using Marc's kernel:

3

NexusHD2_Gingerbread using tytung_r14:

Despite it saying that the display was using the most power, it was left at idle with the screen off for at least 8 hours of that.

So, what should I try doing to fix that? Will I need to switch kernels in order to get a noticeable difference? I don't have any other problems using r14 - it's always stable and fast.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Wow yes, that is quite a difference !

I'd say give Dorimanx's kernel a try, and if I may suggest, use 4.7, because 4.8 and 4.9 have issues. If WiFi channels 13&14 are not important for you, you might give 5.0 a shot, but since they matter to me, I haven't tested 5.0 thoroughly...

To install it :

- flash Dorimanx's kernel

- use my reflasher to reflash Tytung's initrd.gz

And you should be up & running.

But I will be honest, even though I have better battery life on Dorimanx's kernel, it's not "much" better compared to Tytung's r14, though. But it's worth giving it a shot.

You might try fikret kernel as well, it's been reported to be good and more stable than Dorimanx's (haven't tested it long enough, but the reports come from folks you can trust ;)).

JP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ellisbodds:
Okay, I'll give Dorimanx's 4.7 kernel a shot, thanks. One thing though - where's your reflasher?

EDIT: Never mind, I put my initrd.gz in the initrd-custom folder. Phone seems exactly the same so far in terms of speed, stability etc. so I'm just going to leave it idle for a bit to test the battery.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
It is some pages back, but I've attached it again here.

Come in handy if you download a kernel directly from the phone with no PC around to add the initrd.gz in the Custom folder ;)

JP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ellisbodds:
I'll make sure to keep that saved, cheers. :)

Also, take a look at this:

The long line at the beginning is using the r14 kernel, whereas the line after the "r" in "battery" is with Dorimanx's kernel. As you can see, there's a big difference, so thanks for your help!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Prefect ;)

Do play around with governors, and frequencies ! Will improve battery drain even more ;)

My best combi :

Powered on : Governor SmartAssv2 / Frq. 128MHz - 1.22GHz

Standby : Governor conserbativr / Frq. 128MHz - 384MHz

I use System Tuner Pro to configure those settings.

You can go lower in standby if you're not using things like bluetooth handsfree etc. But since I do and ran into timeout problems, I pushed the frequency a little higher.

Hope this helps !

JP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Hi again,

Just a thought, have you considered using BetterBatteryStats to get more insight as to what is eating up your juice ? It gives more details and info than the stock Android info. You can find it on xda quite easily.

Also, I can recommend Battery Monitor Widget (Market) to follow drain on a precise mA level !

Using JuiceDefender I have around 5mA drain in standby.

JP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ellisbodds:
Got it set up like this for now using SetCPU. :)

Okay, I'll have a look at downloading BetterBatteryStats actually, because more detailed info would be quite useful. With Battery Monitor Widget, do I just leave my phone on standby for a while and then take a look at it in order to see the battery drain? On a previous ROM, I remember opening the app and it was showing 100-300mA of drain, when it quite clearly was way way less than that.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] CR5N:
This is worth a look, nice simple data on battery drain. Looked for original thread on xda but not at pc.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.WazaBe.android.BatteryDrain

Edit:

http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...yzer-reports-undisputed-battery-drain-values/
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ellisbodds:
Cheers, I'll take a look. I found that e-mail was causing huge drain (60mA vs 3-8mA) so I've disabled the syncing of that.

Oh, and what do you guys with ext3/4 partitions do? I've got a 1GB ext4 partition sitting unused on my card (Lexar 16GB class 10) because I used it for other ROMs. I liked opening up the storage manager and seeing 700MB of free space when I used a ROM with Data2SD built in, but is Apps2SD generally considered a better bet?

To be honest though, I'm not entirely sure I need to use EXT with this ROM as it has such a small footprint.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] corrsea:
U

From memory the 60mA drain you experienced with email comes from the notification rather than the email itself and only occurs when the notification is not cleared. I think its specific to r14 and not seen on dorimanx or fikret kernels.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Battery Monitor Widget can monitor battery drain all the time, and will put its readings in a log-file and display all of it as a graph, so you can check when how much juice got drained. In the settings you can also set how often it is measured, I've set it up once a minute.

JP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] corrsea:
Another addition to the kernels that work with this ROM is Warrens AmericanAndroid kernel found here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1272523

Installation is similar to dorimanx, just pop the initrd for the ROM in the custom folder and follow the choices. Just three yes/no's. Choose custom, Rnmet or ppp, magdlr or clk.

I will test it out over the next few days. Early impression is that most things are working but I've not done any systematic testing yet.
