@CMY & akapaul26...

I'd lyk 2 try dis out but just a confirmation....Flashing this only installs the theme ryt? No data loss or ROM mess up?....Also lets say i want 2 get back 2 d default theme...How would i uninstall this or do i just go to Scene's selection in settings & select the default theme?

P.S. I'm gonna do a full backup (CWM &Titanium) but i'd also lyk 2 know hw 2 uninstall if possible...

Thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] akapaul26:
Just save zip to SD, boot into CWM and install zip. This wont change anything except the theme and wallpaper. You can revert back to what you have by going into settings and personalize...The theme will be saved there as well. No changes will be made to your settings.

Now it also takes a long time for me to get a gps lock. Do i edit the contents of the gps file on the phone with the settings you provided. Also when i navigate to gps folder and open, it asks me "what to open with" i choose html viewer and able to see settings but doesnt seem editable.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] voncrane:
Use Root Explorer, it has an inbuilt text editor which i used 2 edit mine...it also helps u backup your original gps.conf file by adding a .bak extension...tap n hold down d file 2 view d options..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mrG1985:
Bluetooth Mac Address fix, for GPC and other kernels would be great!

Are there any plans yet?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] garymr2:
Here is the method for people who do have 'root explorer' or don't want to buy it from the market. (btw, Warlock's gps.conf file rocks!, getting the gps status way better than the stock one).

use any file explorer app to navigate to the /system/etc folder

copy/email out the gps.conf

modify the gps.conf on the PC(it is easier to modify the text on the PC than 'terminal emulator' (download from market), because /system only read access so you can't edit the gps.conf directly

copy the gps.conf back to sdcard (at root or at your designation)

open 'terminal emulator', do the following: (this give the write access to /system temporarily).

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# mv /mnt/sdcard/gps.conf /system --- I did this to get mine in /etc...

# mv /system/gps.conf /system/etc --- you probably can just do the following in one shot.

(# mv /mnt/sdcard/gps.conf /system/etc)

use explorer to locate the gps.conf in /system/etc, view the content and it should display the new settings.

For me, right now, I am sticking with Raf 1.6

1 hour log of phone in sleep mode:

2011/02/09 04:00:44,-73mA,11%

2011/02/09 04:01:45,-5mA,11%

2011/02/09 04:02:44,-5mA,11%

whats you SDCARD? original 16G 2 speed? it's been noted that SDCARDS will cause battery drains so do you think one of your apps is using the sdcard for logging or storing anything while it runs..[/QUOTE]

yes. it is the original 16 gig class 2 card. Is everybody that is getting great battery life only using and 8 or 4 gig? I don't see that being reported. I could be wrong. But either way. These types of drains, with no backup data on and the phone in sleep mode seem really high - 16 gig or not, agree?

btw, the only log that is going on is the battery log. but that is minimal. I was still getting these same numbers before I started the log last night.

The only thing I can come up with are a few processes that keep my CPU at 100% for 3- 5 minute stretches. They slow me down and the overall performance of the phone.

com.doubletwist.androidplayer (seems to connect to the internet and I don't know why or how to cut it off)

com.htc.launcher

com.htc.media (this one stalls me sometimes and I see the battery tick as it is trying to work through the process)

android.process.acore

2011/02/09 04:05:35,-52mA,11%

2011/02/09 04:05:56,-59mA,11%

2011/02/09 04:06:16,-59mA,11%

2011/02/09 04:06:36,-59mA,11%

[HD2 Android NAND Development] carl1961:
I am using the 16G 2 speed original I will do a battery log and see what I get

also You can run droird explorer and from tools use dalvik debug monitor and see whats happening while your phone is going through its steps.. see what happens when it sleeps and what happens when you wake it up

[HD2 Android NAND Development] slbenz:
I'm using the stock Sandisk SD card and just looked at my overnight log file and seems that I am getting between 2-3mA drain with spikes of only in the high teens, low twenties. Much better than the MDJ 10.4 kernel that would spike to 100+ at times but still revert back to 2-3mA drain. Data on, WiFi and Bluetooth off. It was about a 2-3% overall loss for an overnight standby for me. Using Rafpingna's 1.7 is better for me.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] AngelDeath:
There are two possibilities: ones its a known fact battery drain occurs with sdcards and I would think class two would be a drain, class 4 i think is the sweet spot for speed and drain, second don't know if it was fixed but bluetooth is also known as a drainer and the 60 ma drain at standby is known with bluetooth.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] AngelDeath:
Dont know provided CMY with the info, its all up to him to see if he can get it working and ported.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] steve austin:
I will have to look into the class 4. However, I think that I have read many posts where the standard 16 gig class 2 card is responding well. This is my second class two card that is giving me the business when it comes to battery. I use my phone for music movies, pic - you name it. Going down to an 4 or an 8 gig card would not be a valuable trade off either for battery. Bluetooth is minor to me, but I understand your point. My thing is bluetooth should not, in a perfect world, ever get me to spike over 200 when the phone is in sleep mode, right?

You can use StartupAuditor to stop apps you do not need until you need them[/QUOTE]

ok, today my phone is going crazy on me. First, thank you for your post and continued assistance. Second, I downloaded the attachment, sent it to my phone, tried to install it. Midway through it says not enough memory. It prompts me to open app manager. it starts to auto-populate my apps. After 4 minutes it says that app manager has stopped working. it then prompts a force close or wait. I hit force close and the service is still trying to close down 8 minutes later...?!? :mad: The phone is completely frozen while it is trying to shut down app manager. This is not good.

This begs two questions (and I only am asking them in this thread cuz I never experienced this elsewhere).

1. I am never given the option to install apps/games on the memory card. Is there an app out there that forces that option every time?

2. I have only 9 mb's of internal memory left. However, there war games that are taking up 20 mb's but i am not given the option to move them to the sdk card to free up space. What the ham sandwich is going on with that?

I'm having an issue with battery drain in standby. My phone was fully charged last night at 2am. unplugged it and went to sleep. at 10am my phone was dead!

other than that, I love this build of android.

p.s. has anyone figured out yet how to make skype work over 3g?

I downloaded the rom and installed it but I have a question. I replaced Cotullas stock desire rom and notice for some reason this one is alot slower. Meaning my touchscreen lags. Im loving it dont get me wrong but is there a reason why it so slow to my touch? Do I have to install or replace something? I followed all of the below to the T as I did with Cotullas.

How to flash and get up and running with CWM & CMYLXGOroms

Do you have magldr v1.13 Installed? Skip this part if you do...

Download MAGLDR v1.13

Unrar DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF.rar

Power off phone. Pulling the battery does the trick

Power on phone while holding vol down button and wait for rainbow bootloader screen

Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe

Phone will reboot after flash

Have you updated your Clockworkmod Recovery Partitions since Feb 4th 2011? If not or you don't know please complete this step. If you already have, skip this part...

Downlaod from the first post CMYLXGOs.ClockworkMod.Recovery.Partition.Setup.02. 04.2011.rar

Unrar CMYLXGOs.ClockworkMod.Recovery.Partition.Setup.02. 04.2011.rar

Power up or reboot phone and hold down the red end/pwr key until MAGLDR Boot menu: appears

Scroll down to option 5. USB Flasher and hit the Green Send key

Plug phone into PC and run DAF.exe

Phone will reboot after flash

Flashing a CMYLXGO CWM ROM is now a very easy thing to do...

Download your favorite flavor of CMYLXGO ROM to your PC or directly to the SDCard on your phone

Reboot phone and hold down the Red/End/PWR button until the MAGLDR Boot menu appears

Scroll down to option 8. AD Recovery and hit Green/Send key

Phone will now boot into ClockworkMod Recovery Mode

Scroll down to 'install zip from sdcard' and hit Green/Send key

Scroll down to 'choose zip from sdcard' and hit Green/Send key

Scroll down to your favorite CMYLXGO ROM and hit Green/Send key

Scroll down to 'yes - install CMYLXGO...blah...blah...blach.zip' and hit Green/Send key

Sit back and wait approx 2-5min. Don't worry if the progress bar does not move

Once you get the rom flashing has completed message hit the back arrow key

Scroll down to 'reboot system now' and hit Green/Send key

All done! Let phone boot normally

Repeat these steps only for future CMYLXGO ROM flashing
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kcharlow555:
thanks. i was able to copy the whole "gps config" file out and pasted to my sd card, then copied to pc. pc didnt recognize format so opened it with notepad, this is what i have:

NTP_SERVER=2.us.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

I quite dont understand- so lets just say if i replace my current settings above, with Warlock's gps settings, then when i save it to my desktop its going to save it as a a notepad file right (because i had to open this type of file with either notepad or word on pc). then you say copy that edited file back to sd card. then i downloaded terminal emulator app from market, opened the emulator and a blue screen appeared and at the top there is the text:

export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$ $

now after the 2nd dollar sign at bottom there is a gray cursor which i am thinking it's waiting for a command. do i have to type everything you provide which is:

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# mv /mnt/sdcard/gps.conf /system --- I did this to get mine in /etc...

# mv /system/gps.conf /system/etc --- you probably can just do the following in one shot.

(# mv /mnt/sdcard/gps.conf /system/etc)

or do i type:

# mv /mnt/sdcard/gps.conf /system

or

# mv /system/gps.conf /system/etc - after the second dollar sign in the emulator?

then you say open file explorer and locate the gps.conf in /system/etc, view the content and it should display the new settings. sorry if i dont understand and i know i am missing something but initially, when i copied newly edited settings (which was a notepad file) from pc to sd card root, how did file get from sd card to the path /system/etc/gps config.

Skype & 3G

Skype in the U.S. is enabled only for Wi-fi. This is by design. If you take your phone to places like Europe Skype will work over 3G (assuming the bandwidth is OK).

I used my TMOUS phone in Turkey last month and Skype worked OK.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kcharlow555:
thanks, was leaning towards Warlock's gps setting because of the reviews. i found some extra text at the end of Warlock's gps settings that were not in mine. this is what i mean-

these are my current settings:

NTP_SERVER=2.us.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin

SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com

SUPL_PORT=7276

And this is Warlock's:

NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_1=0.north-america.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_2=1.north-america.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_3=2.north-america.pool.ntp.org

XTRA_SERVER_4=3.north-america.pool.ntp.org

SUPL_HOST=lbs.geo.t-mobile.com

SUPL_PORT=7275

DEFAULT_AGPS_ENABLE=TRUE

DEFAULT_SSL_ENABLE=FALSE

ENABLE_WIPER=0

Now after I edit and match my settings to Warlock's, do i have to add this extra text:

DEFAULT_AGPS_ENABLE=TRUE

DEFAULT_SSL_ENABLE=FALSE

ENABLE_WIPER=0

at the end of my settings?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dysprosi:
Yes add the extra lines. This helps to speed up the lock with downloaded data and not use a wifi location.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dysprosi:
Its much easier if you just use Root Explorer and edit it directly on your phone, or use Droid Explorer on your desktop and change it from there. No terminals or crazy scripts.

Easy way is to make a text file .. copy ALL of my Code into it using Notepad

And then Copy to the SD Drive then use root explorer to copy the file to: /system/ect

Try out an alternate kernel. I'm using rafpigna's 1.7 and its great so far. No lagginess and immediate wakeups.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fatappel:
Been using v1.0.9 since it was released and I've been really happy with it. I'm most recently coming off Dandiest's Desire Z builds and I'm really impressed with your work CMY. Thank you.

The only issue I've been having is the in-use battery drain. Idle is good but as soon as I start using it, playing with apps, etc, I can literally watch my battery drain before my eyes.

After reading everyone's praise of Rafpigna's v1.7 kernel, I decided to give it a go last night. Been running for about 18 hours and for me, the jury is still out. All benchmarks are slightly better than stock but I am not as much a believer in benchmarks as I am in actual use. I feel that Raf's 1.7 is a bit choppy and less responsive than MDJ's 10.4. If the battery is better in Raf's, I will ultimately keep it and deal with the lag. Anyway, I just wanted to post some of my benchmarks for those interested. I do not use any cpu over-clockers or task killers. This is basically, right out of the box CMY v1.0.9 w/ Raf 1.7. Will keep you updated with battery. Thanks again CMY.

Thanks carl1961... yeah I had already done a complete new installation including flashing CMY's 2.04 recovery image prior to trying to flash the rom. I've done a bit of playing with flash.cfg from the standard CWM Recovery 1.3 400 mb image (to give me a 425mb partition) prior to CMY's 2.04 image. I think it was the warning that you needed to backup prior to flashing the kernel that got me.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dipaolnv:
You know, I haven't been able to get a GPS lock at all with this rom. IDK what the problem is. I have modified the gps config in /system/etc followed by a reboot of course, then checked in /etc to verify that it's the same. I never get a location lock, just an error message that "Your current location is temporarily unavailable".

Any ideas?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] AngelDeath:
Bluetooth at standby would give you 60mA, the 170-200 would be background apps/service. Also I stopped using battery monitors cause most ar set 60secs and all in all every 60s it has to write to the log, which could very well be the battery spikes as well, but as a guide just to see either use current widget, or systempanel lite and see whats eating the battery. Also I would just say try a 8 gig class 4, remember class 2 is only 200mb data transfer speeds, where class 4 is 400, so in theory the faster transfer means less battery time, where I think at 600 and 1000 (Class 6, 10) I think its more battery drain then transfer.

ok, today my phone is going crazy on me. First, thank you for your post and continued assistance. Second, I downloaded the attachment, sent it to my phone, tried to install it.

Try installing either app2sd plus, or spare parts 2.1 if they can be moved either will allow you to. This is one of the reason I increased the partition to 445mb for the added space since I didnt want to use my sdcard for ext.

Just an FYI remove the "Enable_Wiper=0" setting, this will override the setting in the locations part under settings, so this command is not needed.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] daeshawn:
Loving this rom at the moment. Just a question since I'm new to the HD2. I see that it's best that I use the CMYLXGO modded recovery. I've successfully flashed rom and kernal using the 400. Any negative effects or should i just not be lazy and just flash the modded recovery? lol
[HD2 Android NAND Development] garymr2:
*** yes, open it with wordpad and just do 'save' , it should keep the 'config' file type. And then transfer the same file back to your sdcard (root level of your sdcard)

*** do this steps

type su (hit enter)

type mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (hit enter)

type mv /mnt/sdcard/gps.conf /system (hit enter) [this move the file from your sdcard to the system folder.]

type mv /system/gps.conf /system/etc (hit enter) [this move the file from system folder to system/etc folder]

This should updated the gps.conf. you can stop here...the process is done.

GPS Question

Okay, so I find this to be a bit confusing still. I was able to get a lock on my location AFTER I enabled "Use Wireless Networks" in the location settings. If I disable that option, my GPS does not work.

So I can at least verify that my GPS is working. However, I've read that a way to save battery is to disable that option... so can I ask any of the GPS guru's following this forum to let me know if you have that option enabled or disabled, and if it will in fact reduce battery life if it's enabled?

Thanks!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] AngelDeath:
I will be posting a complete guide to the GPS soon in the Q&A forum, but to answer your question, there are alot more significant factors to having the gps work, Developers have so-called "dumbed down" the conf file to avoid problems with other apps, you know use the least amount of info so you cant be blamed for something else breaking. Anyway, this will all come to light soon. I am not revealing anything at the moment only cause I have had in the past my solutions and ideas stolen from me and do not wish to have a repeat. But i can tell you our present conf file as it comes on our phones (Android or SlowMo) we have a better chance of getting struck by lightening twice, then getting a consistent gps lock.

And no you do not have to have GPS enabled under location for the GPS to work, they are unrelated. The GPS location is used for apps like google maps location program, weather, and locations, lattitude, etc, it has nothing to do with the function of the gps when you turn it on say from gps status. And when you use wifi you are not using the gps satelites, you are locking by wifi, if you cant get a gps signal and move out of range of the wifi you would lose your location.

And yes disabling GPS location from the setting/locations (wifi and GPS Sat) will save you battery power, but at the cost of not being able to use the weather app for your location and others I mentioned,but that doesnt mean that if you have wifi or a data plan you cant add your city to the weather and achieve the same thing.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kcharlow555:
Thank you so much for your help, I appreciate it. Now it takes about 5 seconds for gps to find me.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] akapaul26:
The gps fix worked for me to perfection, almost instant, 45 seconds on first try after boot and now less than 3 seconds every time I have tried! Now I have about a handful of thanks buttons to hit!

On another note I am still getting blurry or not high quality MMS. The build thread says MMS Size Fix for T-Mobile aka blurry mms...just curious if anyone else has the same problem and if so what to do to fix it?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MarlinFF:
I'm trying out the GPS fix now, but does that mean now with the gps.conf fix we don't have to use GPS Status ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] slbenz:
Based on my experience working with AngelDeath on the various command lines, having the additional AGPS data does help obtain lock quicker. But even without it, the additional command lines that AngelDeath and I were working on that will be later shared, is still much faster than the stock command lines with this build or any other build for that matter.

Try installing either app2sd plus, or spare parts 2.1 if they can be moved either will allow you to. This is one of the reason I increased the partition to 445mb for the added space since I didnt want to use my sdcard for ext.

after further investigation there is something wrong with the way my phone is handling kernel switches. I have the new partition clockwork installed correctly but there are issues.

1. CWM is not letting me open up mdj's 10.30, tytrung or the gl kernel. The process gets aborted for all three. The only ones that gets loaded are the raf kernels.

2. When the raf kernels are finished loading there is a force close on the power manager app and launcher pro. from there things begin to slow down.

There are processes going on that seem to be slowing my system down. They may also be running well after the phone is in sleep mode. Which could explain the high draws at 4 am. Something is going on.

I reverted to the backup copy of my ROM (thank you god for the CWM backup feature). I have none of the problems now. IMO something is not allowing a clean install of the kernels.

When the Raf kernel initially worked it was great. i definitely want to have the bluetooth earpiece portion working. If CMY comes out with a new ROM with this cooked in I will switch to it. For now I will just stick with 10.40. I also have apps2sd but it is the free version. It does not list all the apps I downloaded from the market. If the plus version does that I will look into that. Thanks again for the assistance.
