I've been on HyperDroid-GBX since v6 and v8 is BY FAR the best...buttery smooth and low battery drain...and no lag at all when scrolling through screens. The other versions kept giving me a 60mh drain and random current spikes. I don't know what you did for v8, but it is working well for me.

I did a wipe between v6 and v7, but I kept my data from v7 to v8...don't know if that's relevent or not.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dertester123:
Try deactivating all things like gps etc one time. You can turn them on afterwards again.

Especially do this for "network location" (freely translated) its in the settings tab with gps.

Using the weather service look its using googleweather not wetherbug.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sciueps:
:D

exactly

:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
Then prepare to BLOWN AWAY by the next version... That's what got me excited... :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sebsey:
AWESOME! Cant wait for your announcement :eek:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gromsy:
Thanks for a great ROM pongster!

I would really like to know how to keep the GPS on when the screen turns off. Has anyone worked out how to do this so that you can record tracks and save battery? My buddy's (native) android phones all do it automatically but none of the Gingerbread builds on the HD2 seem to allow it ;-(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
It works for doctorcete... he tested this for me.... using cardio something from the market and another app... he posted his experience on the thread. try a quick search of the thread... :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] langthang:
Waitting your next Rom, I like your Rom.

Thanks for all
[HD2 Android NAND Development] antaed:
i really thought we can't get much better that this

i can't wait to see what you're up to :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] :
Let me guess...GB Sense with the same or better battery life and speed as HyperDroid and no BT drain!

(I can dream, can't I)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] InfX:
That would be THE thing for me, but without the sense, please, lol.

Sadly, the BT drain issue has been present for quite some time, without any visible progress on it anywhere, so don't count on it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
Nah... BT drain is still there until Charan comes back since hes the guy who said its been fixed... :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] :
So I guess I'm right about the other stuff. There is some activity now on the GB Sense front - imilka just released an early beta version for HD2 using the tytr6 kernel. Looks promising.....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dave Trouser:
urgh, I hope you're wrong about Sense... it's horrible. I chose GBX because it's NOT a Sense build!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
Not really a Sense kinda guy... :) Too heavy for my tastes... useful but heavy on the resources... waiting for the MIUI Gingerbread though... something to play with... ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] h20pt:
Are you going to make any announcement (more info) about it today? :p

Thank God! Pure GB all the way :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bamit99:
Does LCD density has anything to to with battery drain? I am noticing heavy usage through display and it is quite a lot compared to even Wifi so just guessing. And yes, I have tried almost every permutation combination..:)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] :
MIUI looks promising. I tend to like at least a little bit of bling. Don't get me wrong I love your builds and use HyperDroid 8 as my daily driver, but the interface does not to show off the phone's capabilities well enough, imho.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Lozone:
How much more blown away can we be?

I do like trying out the MIUI builds. Fast and theme-able.

Can't wait for the update.

Any hints to what the changes will be.......
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
Not that I know off...

I set it up to be "bling-y" (no such word, I know) :)

Really fast, this next update is... I was pleasantly surprised when building and testing it...

Some new features (read... not eye candy... so no theme chooser)

and new kernel by me. :)

Will announce when its ready...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] logicgm:
Sounds great, pongster :) MIUI builds were the ones I used before mostly due to their incredibly good power consumption - both in use and standby battery drains are excellent. At least it was true for my device and app configuration..

Your GBX release is absolutely smooth, clean and fully functional for me (don't use BT personally). Although battery drain is a bit worse then MIUI's, still appreciate it a lot.

So I've been using GBX builds daily since v6, and looking forward to see your future results after playing with miui gb, I'm sure that you will show us something incredible.

I hope the same for the upcoming release :) Keep up the good work, mate.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ajm2387:
Because of your ROM i went out and purchased another HD2 to use as a tester because i never want to get rid of your build on my daily driver hahaha
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jdmitr:
LOL That is what I was going to post up when sense was mentioned. Which I am ok with cause I wouldnt want sense to distract you from your awesome builds! ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
Just to clarify... I'm not releasing a MIUI build... I just mentioned that its something to play with when the time MIUI GB comes around :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Prima49:
widget work now on Gingerbread?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rQvsnaps:
Cant say I agree on that, this rom shows exactly how fast the phones can be when not bloated with nevermind-ware. Agreed, sense is nice but makes the overall feel alot slower :( I miss the widgets, but launcherpro is able to make up for what is lost - imho anyway.

Framerate is all if you ask me, which is exactly why I've been on this rom since first public release :) I only wish this could follow me to tegra2 ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] h20pt:
This next release you're talking about, will it be avaiable for your both versions (this one and CM7) or just this one (v9?) ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] krdvg:
The led blinks when the screen is on. And they stay on (not blinking) when I go to standby and start blinking again on going live. (EDIT: Reinstalled 1.2, and rebooted twice, now they dont blink! :D )

I dont use messaging, so I dont know the difference between normal and modded client :(

Getting titanium.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] td524:
very cool, I like this rom, I will try it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
Go to Messaging and enter the Settings... there should be a choice for default user agent... :) You're updated. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
Don't forget the 2 updates to get you up to speed. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] TOMLEOUF:
Great job! thanks, I 've never liked my HD2 that much :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RiffyDivine:
Anyone else have an issue with going to charge there phone when it is off from a pc and having the amber light stay on even when you unplug it and be unable to power it on without taking the battery out?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
I have installed it, but i'm missing my ext

Internal storage is only 90Mb

With ext working the size of my ext is put togetter with my internal storage.

You having ext on gingerbread maked me wanna use it...:(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] krdvg:
Yep, but not with just this rom. Its supposed to be a magldr issue. Have had for some days now. I dont know what exactly causes it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
Magldr issue... not sure when it will be solved. hopefully by the next version. :)

Ext is working... but not in that way... The apps2sdext implemented here is a mod of AdamG for his Oxygen ROM.

check your sd-ext folder using root explorer and you will find app and app-private in there. Internal still goes down because dalvik-cache is in NAND. I posted a how to for advanced users on moving dalvik cache after first boot. Its several pages back. :)

dalvik-cache in sdcard has its cons, like not being able to update cleanly as you'd have to do the symlink or bind mount again (depends on how you did it) :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
So internal storage is only filled with dalvik-cache ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
I see .. Unfortunately, the no right-to-left alignment, and also letters are separated. :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
No. Only app and app-private are on sd-ext.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
Sorry but this rom does not give me the space in need.

Was hoping for a real Apps2ext.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
You might be looking for data2ext, data2sd or data2whatever... how much space do you need?

[HD2 Android NAND Development] samson_420:
Nor really a necessity of any sort. . . . But, I have a question. . . Kinda

Is there any way to add transperancy to the home screen(s) icons?

I never seen it done on a Android phone. . . Unless you have a complete icon pack of some sort.

Just thought of it today. . . . . I don't know if it would be possible, I did on my old ass iPhone a long time.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] lonewolf1972:
Hi PONGSTER, HOW ARE YOU? I was wondering if there is a way to use WIFI CALLING yet on my hd2? Maybe a APK? IM on tmous brooklyn NY, and my service in my house is very bad...ty
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
TitaniumBackup was only able to set back half of my apps.

It didn't put my Apps2Ext

I manualy put some apps2SD, but still not enought space... To Bad

So i might need twice the size.

After fresh install, internal says 90Mb free, so 180Mb might do it.

I like GingerBread, but none can handle the Data2Ext.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
After fresh install I have 220mb free. After moving dalvik-cache to sdext I get an additional 100-150mb.

Sent from my HD2 powered by HyperDroid Gingerbread
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
Thats strange.... :o

Any idea what to do now?

When i update with CWM, does it format internal?

Or do i need to format/clear internal before using CWm?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
I would reflash 1.0 using dft so you use the custom partitioning for nand in the flash.cfg

Then update to 1.1 and 1.2 via cwm.

How did you initially Install?

Sent from my HD2 powered by HyperDroid Gingerbread
[HD2 Android NAND Development] logicgm:
Clear :) what I wanted to say was that something really cool might come out as the result of merging experiences and benefits from the two different builds.

Go go go ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
only GBX... which is why i'm posting it here. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] h20pt:
Roger that :cool:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gromsy:
Ok, thanks. He said he tested it using HyperKernel 4 so could it be something to do with the kernel? Do HyperKernel 2 and 4 work ok with HyperDroid GBX v8?

Oh, oh and another thing - my HD2 doesn't charge via USB (plugged in or connected to PC) anymore... Anyone know how this could've happened or how to fix it???

Sorry for the noob questions...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] snatch_this:
I have to say that I am truly amazed by this rom. It's just right.

Thanks!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] h20pt:
I had problems with endomondo too.. Have to test it again with hyperKernel v4..

I'll report soon enough :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ziotidus:
Sorry i don't undestand what download this rom :(

Someone can post the link pls?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] 10507:
Download link is on the first post. Click on the QR Code.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] felipemadox:
Default Framework-apk.res

If someone wants the default framework-apk.res for 2.3.3 with default icons and menu colors, its attached ;)

I recommend to change the density to 190 because any number lower than that you got a strange blue line on selected menu. (if anyone knows how to fix that tell me)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] :
No offense meant, and I am not wanting to make this a war over Sense, which I think is rather silly. But try the new GB Sense builds and then revisit your statement. I think you will be amazed, as I was. Still in very early development, though, but looks promising.

This, of course, takes nothing away from pongster's truly awesome work!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] linj:
Hey InfX,

Fancy seeing you around with a Wifi problem again. :P

Since you've already pulled the code down, you might as well hard-code your desired MAC address into the kernel source and compile it. Of course, you'd be the only one using your new kernel...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wizzbang3:
Yep, exactly - if I wanted sense, I'd get a sense build
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wizzbang3:
Can we please get a way to disable that red end call (hang up) button during calls? I want to LOCK my phone during a call, like an iphone and not have that button hang up - such bad design.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wizzbang3:
EDIT: Double
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dertester123:
Not sure if this is so easy. But you can look for an app/widget that locks your screen and then go to homescreen and that widget.

Not sure if you can go to the homescreen during a call, havent tried and dont want to call someone at this time ;D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] InfX:
Pulling the code down and being able to meddle around in it doesn't mean being capable of compiling it, lol. I don't have anything setup for it, i don't even have an operational Linux machine handy.

But, back to the original point - any way to pass boot params to the kernel from magldr ? How comes haret had a startup.txt for that, yet magldr seems to have nothing for that purpose ?

And, another thing... On a DesireHD build i've been previously using, the WiFi MAC has been read from /etc/calibration or something like that, NOT directly from procfs, meaning i could easily touch it, and i did. How comes it isn't identical among the different ROMs ?

PS: Don't laugh at me if the answer is totally obvious, i admit, i don't know **** about Linux.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] r3k0:
If i upgrade to version 8 from version 5 will my settings/apps be saved ?

im happy with v5 and not sure its worth me upgrading if it meens a full re-install.

Tia.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Lozone:
I would wait for the next update.

Pongster has already hinted about it.

It is recommended to do a full wipe if you coming from anything below V7.0.

But it is worth it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] h20pt:
Just use titanium backup to backup all your apps and data and make a nandroid backup.. if something goes wrong just restore everything.

You can easly wipe everything, install v8 and restore ur apps and data with titanium ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dertester123:
I dont want to disagree with you. But i think if you have the time its always the best to set up everything from scratch.

Restoring settings into new versions can produce errors.

Not sure but last time is restored just the apps with titanium some of them came with settings as well. Maby i accidentially clicked "app+data" but not sure of this as well.

Isnt there anything, that makes a list of installed market apps and downloads them fresh from the market?

Atm i use listables app, it creates a html that you can easily sent to your own email with qr-codes to market links. Than you only have to scan, install,scan, install,scan, inst.... Goes fast its just many clicks ;D and everything is fresh, fail-free :D

Status Bar Theme

Reading through Pongster's CM7 thread, I saw a post about a kitchen to make your own theme for the status bar (icons, colors, animation, battery, etc.). Worked good as I tested it out (see pic). Thought I would share in case anyone else was looking to add there own touch to the status bar.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] dertester123:
I tried this too. But somehow after setting up a new build i logged in and thought it would show me the missing apps. But somehow it only showed me my actual apps and not what was installed previously. Maby my fault as i missed something.

But thanks i will give this a second try when the new build comes out ;D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Ramidalf:
anyone knows about message error. i sent a message to the person whose battery died and i think the message went to the wrong person. i m not sure 100% but it looks like that. if im right im in wierd situation lol. Anyway. did anyone encounter this problem? If yes then is there any fix ?

[HD2 Android NAND Development] ahmetkurban:
Hi pongster. Many thanks for your hard work and great roms. I noticed after version 2 the volume is lower than all the newer builds you have. I've tried searching but honestly could not find a solution for this. If its repeated I really am sorry but is there a way of increasing the default set volume by any chance. ANY HELP OR ADVICE APPRECIATED AND THANKS AGAIN MATE :) LOVE your roms
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
tytung removed the audio boost in the kernels after v2.0 because it caused a lot of troubles in call quality... I'm not sacrificing call quality... my volume is fine though, coming from the speakers... :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dovla_sa:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
Not at the moment... still looking at that but not actively as I don't have an adhoc connection to test with. Not sure how to enable it without reverting to non-working native wifi-tether (uses old froyo wpa_supplicant)

[HD2 Android NAND Development] romskii:
I love this Build! Its great :-) GPS is working amazing, with Fasterfix its much quicker on Google Navigation. I think the only thing that could be better is the volume. Can i do it louder without a new ROM, so registry tweaks or apps?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
Volume is ok for me personally. Using the audio boost destroys call quality at the expense of a louder speaker... which is a step back IMHO. :)

I habe installed Thema ROM on my chief hd2 ...everything is working great but there are no google contacts? ! I know what i can do ...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:
HyperDroid Needs YOU!

I'm looking for help to do the following things to make this the BEST possible ROM for the HD2:

Theme Porter/s (someone with patience to follow directions and is knowledgable on the use of APKManager on Linux, OSX or Windows)

The best way to apply themes completely, IMHO, is still via recovery (framework-res, etc.) While Theme Chooser like on CM7 would be cool, it also is a lot of work to try and add to AOSP (and may make it slower, not sure since my CM7 builds are always a tad slower than GBX, with that as one of the differences)

Thread "Super Users"

(Hardcore GBX Users who can help me answer new user questions so I can focus on developing ;) ) While I will no doubt still be active on the threads, some of this time can be used for testing new stuff and may lead to a better ROM for all.

HyperDroid "Media Guy" (Someone to make a 1-2 minute video of the latest features of HyperDroid to help new users get the best out of the ROM)

You'd need a good quality camera that can capture HD video (so users can watch the clip on Youtube at 720p :D ) and can splice music and quick cuts and fades (a basic knowledge of Non-Linear editing comes to mind) I can do this and know how to do it (part of my job as a consultant) but I don't have the time to do it.

Some topics off the top of my head:

-ROM Intro

-ROM Customization

-ROM Tweaking

Looking forward to your contribution of talent! :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pongster:

Request: ActiveSync Device Encryption Policy

Hey,

I think this ROM is the best out there. I love it. But I can't get my corporate email on it because it's missing ActiveSync Device Encryption. It's kind of a deal breaker for me, because I have to have access to work stuff and don't want to carry two devices.

How difficult would it be to add this policy to the ROM? What I mean to ask is, PLEASE add ActiveSync Device Encryption Policy to the ROM. It would be to the detriment of none and the benefit of, hopefully, many.

Thanks!
