Are you sure you rebooted after build.prop change?

I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you it works for me...

There is no real need to change back since new installation will overwrite build.prop and this setting is not important for this rom.

You can revert back to what was in build.prop by manually editing it back or by using the one that came with installation (inside zip file in folder system\build.prop).

Unzip that file on PC and push it to android with 'adb push build.prop /system/'

APP2SD

it's my understanding that the Rom

only

saves APP's in other words APK's to SD-EXT partition, all other data is stored on internal Rom, hence the reason why the Internal Storage memory decreases ...

awsome build

hey dude that's the best built i ever tried

thanks for this great work

i was wondering if we can port windows 6.5 camera instead of MIUI/Android camera that would be greAt

please work on this if possible

once again thanks

Hey, I really like this rom but since today I Gott a big problem. I cant send sms anymore ... any suggestions?

Contact problem

Hello,

I have a strange behaviour:when i create a ew phone contact i don't see it in the contact list.Even when i try to import contact from sim they don't appear in the liste.tried to reboot but no result.

Does anyone have the same problem?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] engst03:
Yes, of course. But I am speaking about APKs.....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] swordfish2009:
does anybody expirience the phone dialer? I can not call anyone.. it hangs in between.. i m using v12
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Alganon:
hi, I don't experience this, but as you can see some posts above I had some trouble with sms. So i installed GoSMS and the problem was solved.

why I'm telling you this? --> because there is also a app called goContacts for free in the market. and this one does not only replace contacts but also the stock dialer with GoDialer. This one is quit similar to the HTC dialer and supports T9 dialing. I think its better than the stock dailer and also better than dailer one.

so maybe using this dailer instead of the default one solves your problem... just a suggestion.

oh and a funny fact. after I installed GoSMS I was able to send SMS again. Not only with GoSMS, but also the default app was working again...:confused::)

I noticed that ROM Manager now supports HD2. Is it only the CLK or also the Magldr version that is supported?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] 10507:
According to cLK thread, ROM Manager currently only support cLK.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] GroteBozewolf:
Yes, some of the features are not working, but can I flash Recovery via ROM Manager if I have MAGLDR? I tried it about 2 weeks ago and selected a non-HD2 phone and I lost recovery. Took me a lot of work to get it back to work.

So perhaps a better question would be: can I flash recovery on HD2 using ROM Manager if I don't have CLK?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] 10507:
There is a script flowing around which enable you to use ROM Manager with MAGLDR. However, I would not recommend this method because there will be error and problem along the road.

Crashing cam app

@everyone,

Is anyone else experiencing MIUI camera crashes when recording video?

It doesn't crash in picture mode.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] un4seen:

That's with WiFi always on, background sync always on and no special battery saving efforts, some emails, calls and so on.

Is there any possibility to make led blink f.e once in a 60 sec that I know my phone is still alive?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] D4rk50ul:
Read the FAQ and change the lines in the gps.conf to local servers, then use GPS Status & Toolbox to get your first lock.. should work fine.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jim_0068:
Yup i re-booted immediately and used root explorer to verify the build.prop file changed and it did change to the verizon shadow prop. Still a no go.

Thanks for your help though.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] un4seen:
D4rk50ul , thanks, but it's not that. My phone doesn't seem to see any satellites on HyperDroid, so it doesn't even get to the point of trying to get a fix. I posted about it a few pages back, it's also not a hardware issue, HyperDroid seems to have decided that being too perfect would be bad and decided to ignore my gps ;) Not a major issue for me as I rarely need it, just a mild imperfection.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] D4rk50ul:
It won't see the satellites until it gets a lock.. it will look like it is doing nothing and then BOOM you will see it lock on to like 5+ at once.. just check off the option to keep the screen on in gps status and go outside.. you'll get a lock =)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jjrumph:
I recently replaced a cratered hd2 (well with some help from me). I got another one and held breath that GPS worked where other one didn't. Using the gps.conf that came with v12 no modification, well I forget now may have changed north america to us but thats it. Did run the gps fix .apk as well. I 'm happy to say the gps works great. Locks on quickly from cold start (30 seconds or so) and 4-5 seconds afterwards.

Now in reading some of the GPS thread I went in and renamed the gps.conf to gps.conf.bak just to see what would happen. I also deleted it as well. Lo and behold it still locked on to about 8/10 satellites. Not being one to temp fate and the reason the other hd2 cratered due to bad surgery technique, I have restored the gps.conf and am not touching again. Even get a lock indoors. With it locking indoors I can navigate around the house with great accuracy.LOL
[HD2 Android NAND Development] D4rk50ul:
I will admit when writing the file I did quite a bit of research and used strings that may or may not have impact on performance. The chip itself seems to store information for quite some time, so once locked if you delete the file it will continue to use last lock to get fast locks. Waiting a few days and trying again would produce a totally different story.

Glad it is working well for you, its tested well internally.

Anyone? I bet most people show no interest because they don't see the use for a better screen displaying better color depth.

Ok neurotica, link me to the thread, ill look into it and see what we can do, no promises though. We are very much focused right now in improving what we have, not to reinvent the wheel if you know what I mean ;), but sure, link me to those thread to digg in a bit. Thanks.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Baker0:
Ive posted this before but nothing came from it. There are a few area where I live that have really poor signal. The phone battery is superb untill it struggles to pick up a signal. My battery empted in 9 hours with no use yesterday because of this problem (150mH +).

Is there any way of reducing this problem instead of just turning on flight mode?

Any help would be superb.

Cheers Baker0
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Alganon:
for me, in areas with bad signal radio 2.12 has better signal and battery compared to 2.15. dosn't mean it has to be the same for you/your provider/your area... but maybe it is worth a try...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nicedude_abad:
Try changing the Radio. You sometimes have to play with it. Give 2.12 a try as suggested earlier. Moreover, you have to try it for about 2 - 3 days to find the optimal results.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] manemzjum:
Thats not even possible on a stock battery even if left on flight mode for 3 days battery would still deplete
[HD2 Android NAND Development] maroxxx:
thanks i like it
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jeoffrey:
Hi everyone,

Following the camera problem, I formatted (low level) of my 16Gb μSD class 2 and reinstalled completely HyperDroid GBX 12. I followed the recommendation by Pongster for the format (Fat32 32Kb).

But I still have this concern when I Films and I support

to stop, the camera hangs I get "force close" and the camera does

more and I have no sound, so I'm forced to reboot.

I did not have this problem on other roms, do you have the same problem ?

Is there a solution ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] un4seen:
manemzjum, your battery is probably just old. I use stock battery and constantly get 2days+ with average usage, wifi and sync on. Granted, my coverage is close to perfect all the time, in flight mode I could probably get close to 5 days. I might give it a try sometime :)

As for my GPS, the problem is that I don't get a fix even outside, during a sunny, cloudless day with no interference in sight, for an hour, yet on other roms I tried I get it in a few minutes even inside. As I said, not a big deal, i probably messed something up myself while rummaging through the files :)

Neurotica , as for the screen - I don't know what controller it uses, but most screens that can display 262k colors usually can only display 64k of them at once. Same goes to 16m screens displaying only 262k colors simultaneously, there are very few screens free from banding issues.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] thomas_pieps:
Same problem here, ordered a new battery, will report back the results... ;)

USB tethering

Hi All,

thx for this super rom...its really 1st android rom which I really like.

My question is, how can I get USB tethering to work. Wifi tethering works. But when I plug the phone to USB and start USB tethering, nothing happens on the PC. The driver is installed.

Tried many applications but it does not work.

thx for quick reply

Irritating errors

I have been using this rom since version 9 and have had no issues until I updated to version 12. Now I get "the process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" all the time. I can no longer download updates from the market place or install new apps. Even the apps that I have installed are starting to crash 1 by 1. I have reformatted the entire phone 2x and started from scratch and it works fine for a couple of days then all of the sudden it stops working again. Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] palermo123:
transfer all from 1 sd-card to a bigger 1?

i am a happy user (and donator ;)) of this rom. works like it should. no major problems at all... :)

now my question:

i want to swap my 8gb sd-card with a 16 gb.

how can i transfer all the stuff to the new card?

i have installed 200+ apps...(a lot of games for my kid and stuff)

i am using app2sd and an ext4 (?) partition. formated the card via cw-recovery.

maybe a full backup incl. apps to pc?

what software can do that?

thx in advance
[HD2 Android NAND Development] elsecreto09:
Did you used Sd formatter?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] palermo123:
i formated the card via clockwork-recovery.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] elsecreto09:
Format the new card,wipe Dalvik cache and then just Copy and paste from old to new card. I am currently using the 8gb 4 class, I think it works better than the 16gb.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] D.O.C:
It is possible, main drain on every device is screen, why? U should know it cause ur an expert right?.

Saying one of the developers of a rom ur are using for free is a layar isnt polite. He has no reason to lie, there isnt a competition here, w are racing against time before our device become obsolete, not racing against other build or so.

What is stated by D4rk5t0ne is true, how do i know itt?, cause I witness myself how the guy is all day logging, searching and making the rom better, iseehim constantly log at devs team, so please, please, if u dont believe it, keep negqtive comments to urself, please.

CM7 is open source, gbx is aosp, anyone can grab em, build them, crustomize them, pimp them or whatever.....i would be happy to test ur device and contribute to it, and believe me, non of the devs here are going to critize your work, in fact, we will make it better in anyway we can.

Sorry for all this BS but, this build is posted here for sharing, learning and bugtracking, its built for all of us. Im tired of coming to the thread and seeing only negative things, dont want positive comments either, give us logcats about bugs, give us ideas, give us solutions, give us anything but insults please.

Now back to enjoying the rom.

:D

2-5 days ???????????? How is it possible ?

You have no e-mails, no data sync, no Gmail, no widgets, no games, no phone, no screen-on ?! :D

With normal use, I run for around 12/16h.

With hard use : 8/10h.

Stand-by, few calls : 24/30h.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] theorie:
Just wanted to thank the OP again for this build. I've been using it for awhile now (currently running v12) and I have little to no problems.

Actually, I thought I had a problem recently with the phone running extremely slow at random times, but it turned out to be a memory leak with the home screen clock widget I was using (typoclock, has since been fixed).

Using set CPU "On Demand" preset, I usually see around 2-3mAh drain, and with a normal battery (not extended batt) I get about a day and a half of normal use (multiple calls throughout the day, occasional gaming, pretty frequent internet usage).

So yes, as mentioned before, I'm still loving this build and looking forward to future updates as they roll out.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] D4rk50ul:
Tips to ADVANCED USERS ONLY. Doing any of this means you are not allowed to complain about broken things in thread :)

Look at any ROM you are using, and look for running processes/apps that ALWAYS run. Find replacements. Keep in mind there are some you MUST keep to not cause errors.

Step #1 - I remove from almost every ROM ....

Google Maps

Google Voice

Google QuickSearch Box

Titanium Backup (I just don't install it anymore)

Gmail

Email

I replace them with apps that are as good or better that don't require as much syncing, etc.

MapQuest

K9 Mail

Opera Mobile Browser (Very efficient with click for flash and no GPS triggering)

I use NANDROID for backups and Root Explorer to remove system apps

Step #2 -

Turn off auto-brightness and set it to the lowest you feel comfortable with. Not polling the light sensor to auto-adjust combined with a lower overall brightness will save you juice.

GPS IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. It uses the most hardware to run it, and it will kill it fast on any phone. By all means use it when you need to, but disable it in apps that only use it to serve you ads.

Step #3 - DO NOT USE AUTO TASK KILLERS OR BATTERY SAVERS.. they suck.

Set your Google Data backup and auto restore in settings/privacy to OFF. Not only does it bring issues into new roms when you flash, it syncs too much.

Set your mail client to only check mail as much as you need. I have my main every 2 hours, the others once a day.

Use a Radio that gets good reception in your area. (Do this at your own risk) The more the signal drops/reconnects or searches for service, the faster your battery = dead.

Step #4 -

Reset your battery stats the right way. Full cycle your battery. Charge it until CurrentWidget or Battery Monitor show 0ma positive charge, and wipe the stats. Drain the battery with normal use but do not let it go to 0% that is bad for Lithium Ion batteries. Let it get down below 10% before recharging it the first few times. Keep in mind these types of batteries have a certain shelf life and they degrade in performance the day they are charged at the manufacturer. Average life span is 2 years for cell phone Lithion batteries due to the extreme heat they endure.

All of these things can contribute to your performance and is universal to all cell phones. I personally get excellent battery life unless I'm on a youtube / game binge. 16-24 hours of heavy use is the norm here but I keep my batteries in good condition. The shortest I have gotten running GBX is 8 hours and I was pretty much playing a flash based poker game and watching youtube the entire time. As always, YMMV

EDIT: Tools I use for testing apps for battery usage are WatchDog Lite, and CurrentWidget with the "Log Applications" box checked off. I prefer Battery Monitor Widget now though since I know exactly which apps I use. You can also do the whole drop to 2g or whatever if you want to get all crazy but I'm lazy :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] PopzTopz:
AWESOME post. these are tips I have culled from posts from all over this site over the past few months and you condensed it into one concise (and virtually complete) post. Thank you for your efforts.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] D4rk50ul:
I think starting a thread in the General forum with known apps that kill battery would be a wise thing for the HD2 Android community to do. Sometimes its simple things like Weather notifications in Fancy widget that will take 5% off you in an hour. If we compiled a list and kept it updated, all HD2 users regardless of ROM would benefit.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] PopzTopz:
Amen. Like you there are several apps I have tried that have found the 'recycle bin' never to see the light of day again...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] shorty1483:
After this ROM and a short trip to Typhoon i went to HyperDroid CM7 and I can say that Pongsters ROMs are definitely the battery savers.

I never (!!!) have a battery time under 2 days, even with Gmails, background data sync, lots of widgets, Tablet Tweaks, Angry Birding and a bit calling :D

With just leaving my baby in StandBy, I guess to get over 4 days without any probs.

Perhaps the key is heavy undervolting an setting different governors depending on different situations plus creation of different Tasker profiles (Phone off at night from 00:00 to 05:30 etc.)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] PopzTopz:
Typhoon's battery is normally really good too, there have been a cpl updates that were spotty but generally its good, pongster's releases seem to be a hair better, they both are great and I switch between them. See my sig. Except for Bacon (havent tested enough to determine) they are all close. And far above the others. :D

If I turn this off, will my Google's calendar still sync?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] D4rk50ul:
Yeah that part that I mentioned is for syncing your apps/system settings. Your calendar and contacts are under "Accounts & Sync". The one I mentioned a lot of times will try to import your wifi passwords, etc and cause errors which we hear about quite often on the thread.

my understanding is, if your on a call and your connection drops to either Edge or GPRS it will not reinitiate until you hang up. That's the way it's supposed to behave. It was not until 3G came along that you can actually talk and surf at the same time.
