Possible Weather Fix

For some users 1.84 builds break the ability to download weather updates via mobile data. This is caused by WeatherSyncProvider.apk.

Someone with the weather update problem try flashing the zip attached (which contains a previous version) via CWM and report findings. Back up first!! :)

Fix courtesy of victoryo.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Xanion:
Thanks for your quick reply. But the download only contains the zipped Rom. Daf.exe is not included.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] billgs:
So a little info after running 1.5 for 8 hours:

Love the new cosmetic changes, the overall system speed improvement, the new fluid app drawer and the smoothness in the internet browser.

The only thing that bothers me a lot is that the screen sensor bug (keeping the screen off after pulling the phone from your ear) is still there. I thought it was a kernel problem but it remains even with the included rafpigna's 1.8.

Anyone else with the same issue? Apart form that, top work as always.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] julmar7:
I forgot about making a partition:(

Thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] xperi:
the problem is not with the rom itself, it has to do with the voice dialer apk. Download the one from the link attached and follow instructions. Long press on the apk and chose permissions, then select everything. Did this since v1.1 and have never had a problem since.

Did a back up before upgrading to coredroid 1.5 ,everything went silky smooth. :-).No video isses with my installation .
[HD2 Android NAND Development] xperi:
Thanks again team for this great rom. Didn't use the old instructions, just updated with CWM. Had sense crash a few times at first, but after letting it settle and a reboot, everything runs great. Quick response, looks great, date now visible in the pattern lock screen. All my contacts are there, my weather is updating and all my games run. Font really makes a difference and the four row app draw looks great. Outstanding work guys.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gshadow325:
FYI, for my fellow coredroid users, Cmylxgo's desire roms went to the 1.84 base about 2 weeks ago and those roms were experiencing..

weather cant update with data only wifi

camera cloud issues

websites with flash issues

battery drain

i flashed the coredroid 1.5 and was experienceing 3 out of 4 issues so i reverted back to 1.4. didnt have it on long enough to check battery.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sergio76:
So

Camera a test it personaly and also my wife she add no problem uploading a picture to her Facebook within camera.

Facebook login not a problem for my wife ( and me while a tested)

Google login not a problem to my wife ( and me while a tested)

Weather updating not a problem for my wife ( and me while a tested)

I do never make my wife start over all she does is update ( coming from a previous build install zip that's all you need to do) .

My wife uses phone more then I actually use my desire HD any problems she as she reports I fix if possible. Some issues impossible to fix by me I do not work on kernels I use Raf kernel and I use it for a reason if I provide build with it there is a reason for it. Also I can guarantee that builds are always solid if not god help me my wife will kill me. So please try all you can if you have problems cause I'm sure something is not right from user side and not build.

And this is not talking about team that as been testing builds after builds for the last couple of weeks flashing once a day a new build and reporting back and me and the team work in a professional way and we all do it for free so enjoy please and be reasonable on posts cause I barely sleep to get this done and released some people appreciate but some always complain I can't please everyone so if you don't like it move on there is plenty builds around xda too choose from. But in the end I always see the people that complain coming back here way is that ..... maybe they just like to post negative info on thread.

So peace and enjoy my friends.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DikoMike:
@Sergio

We got your back covered bro :) Thanks again for your efforts.

on-topic:

did a little test, reflashed from scratch..

difference: before "reboot now" (after installing build/rom ZIP) in CWM i did installed also the GPS fix ZIP mentioned earlyer in thread in 1.4 times.

weather worked from start no issue on mobile data (didn't add wifi yet)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pao17:
my device stucks on a black screen...any advice?

Did a clean install..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] xperi:
I don't think you should give up on it that easily. I don't have any of those issues. Give it another go and maybe try fresh install.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sergio76:
Well something is not right with your post my friend. 3 out of 4 issues. And you take the battery out cause you don't test it enough .

First camera as no cloud issue.

Weather not a issue for me or all team.

Only one left .... sites with flash .... let me check .... no issue so what build did you flash bro. Not mine for sure.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sagarjawaress:
hi....just downloaded v1.5,i got only zip file.

install it through cwr??

which cwr partition should we use??

there are no instructions in the zip..btw i have EU HD2
[HD2 Android NAND Development] xperi:
If you have v1.4 just do an "install zip from sd card." if not, download the v1.4 and follow the instructions included in the rar
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Ferri_HD2:
hi, i am still using 1.4 and it's working perfect :), thanx a lot.

but some games (Can Knockdown 2 v1.0, pottery, air attack hd lite and stupid zombies) it's not working :( . i moved to phone memory, still doesnt work. any idea or solution!?

ps: sorry for my english..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] darryl22:
i still get connection error after trying this
[HD2 Android NAND Development] patmorris:
I wonder why some of us have this weather issue and not others. I updated both me and my girlfirends phones to 1.5 last night and we both had the same issue with weather not updating. But, now I will troubleshoot and see whats going on here.

Thanks again sergio and team for this build. Coredroid is definately the best of the best!!! Thanks for all the new graphics and of course updating us to the 1.84 base.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
No need to download the 1.4 for the instructions. Please check page522 post #5219. Try reading earlier posts before asking the same questions. Most have been answered. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nobnut:
Ok. Extract the apk from the zip and copy it via Root explorer to overwrite the existing WeatherSyncProvider.apk. (Backup the original apk first)

Before you do, check the permissions of the original apk and make sure you set the permissions of the file you copy after copying. Then reboot twice.

EDIT: This problem also affected some users of Imilka's DHD RAM build when he updated to 1.84. Check the change log at v1.0 in his first post.

The same problem also affected Mike1986's build when he updated to 1.84 in the DHD forums.

The solution only affects some users. The fix is in the WeatherSyncProvider.apk.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ric69:
Not better here but thanks anyway ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jirka607:
please help i installed CWM 400MB parition and then installed ZIP and im stuck on the HTC screen

happy to see that one MAJOR issue is fixed... the green/blue market :)

@weather problem. i might shooting blanks but please try the GPS fix suggested in this post:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
OK im obviously doing something wrong here as twice ive downloaded this now from http://coredroidroms.com/ i first clicked on HD2 CoreDroid V1.5 is here!

HD2_DHD_v1.5

and downloaded and the it brought up folders with

boot

data

META-INF

scripts

sd

system

which is clearly not the build im looking for.

I then scrolled down to the bottom of the page on the right and clicked on

Download HD2

and downloaded the exact same folder as above, where is the DAF.EXE option, should this not be a RAR file, ive no trouble up to this,i must be doing something wrong here but i cant see it for the life of me.:confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] patmorris:
that .zip is the rom. just flash it with cwm.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gunnroseclose:
just copy the unzip file you downloaded to your sdcard and then flashing with CWR. This v1.5 we do not need to run DAF in our computer, just update directly in HD2
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
where is the DAF.EXE option then?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
ah now i see thanks for that, forgive me if im wrong but i cant see anywhere that this has been mentioned as of yet.

MODERATORS - INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FLASH THIS NEED TO BE CHANGED IMMEDIATELY (APOLOGIES IF IVE MISSED IT BUT CANT SEE IT)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DikoMike:
why, Oh WHY people don't read the thread :((

ok short story (as i've seen you get the 1.4):

use the files that you used for and from 1.4 (i hope you still have them), put the downloaded zip on your SD, and in CWM at "install zip from..." select the new 1.5 zip.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DarkAdonis:
The weather app issue is real. We're not making it up. I'd just like to start by saying I love your work. I have used your builds since coredroid v0.6. I think you do amazing work. I never complain about your work ever. I only ask about fixes when I have an issue and usually i get a fix very quickly. Im now having a problem with the weather on this build. I've tried to fix it on my own. First I updated. Then I did a clean install. And just now i tried flashing the fix that Nobnut posted(hope I spelled that right) and the weather app still isn't working for me. There is a huge difference between people who complain about your work and people like myself who love your work and just need a little tech support. I can't speak for anyone else, but your work is VERY appreciated by me. Because of you I love my HD2.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jirka607:
Still stuck without SD im booted immediately
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Digital Outcast:
Are you using the standard or the TMOUS build? And do you have a 512 or 1024 MB device?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
Are you using a EU HD2 512, or a TMOUS 1024 HD2. Please format you sd card fat32, then reapartition with CWM using 1024gb, 0mb.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
I hope after 26 posts your not referring to me mate i read this thread every day and have been on this thread since pretty much the start of coredroid so im no noob when it comes to flashing ROMS.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
lol, a little faster! :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gunneredw:
I have weather issue too, will not update over mobile data connection only wifi.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
Jonny, he was just trying to help. You just need to update with CWM to install this version.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jirka607:
im using LEO512 EU ok i will try to reflash partition partition SD to 1024 with 0M swap
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
loud and clear mate i know that now but unless ive missed something i couldn't see anything else stating that which is where i got a bit confused.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Digital Outcast:
:D

Yeah it sounds like the SD-EXT partition is not there... give that a shot and let us know :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
..........................
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ric69:
...

Answer in post 5268
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
No prob Jonny. :)

Just a tip for everyone if you unzip the file and you only see this folder with meta-inf, boot, system, etc. that means that it´s not a rar file, but a zip. With this file you can always use CWM to flash, install. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
Cool, it might be an idea to perhaps put this on the opening page as well.

Currently waiting on this to boot for first time after flashing, will report back later.:)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DikoMike:
good ideea :)

hope all works like a charm for you!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Digital Outcast:
I can confirm that there is an issue with the weather not updating. I have also got a fix for it. It is attached and needs to be applied via CWM. Let me know if it works.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Digital Outcast:
That works, or for an easier method try my previous post :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MACBLACK91:
Hey How are these Iphone like folders called in the screenshots ? I can't find them:P

Edit: my bad didn't read the Post all the way:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DikoMike:
reflashed, confirming.

it works

cheers

edit: at the post below

not this again! lol
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wanahave:
Read the FAQ on the first page:(:(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Digital Outcast:
Good to know, thanks for letting me know it works!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] crx4xharder:
I miss the transparent app drawer :*(... Everything else is great so far ;-)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
cheers Mike so far so good anyway:)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
I know there´s going to be other that miss other things also. Sergio has changed the build to fit the majority of the user´s wishes. Can´t fulfill every wish. I saw one earlier that someone misses the circular battery, can´t have both at once. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
cool, glad it worked jonny. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jirka607:
THANK YOU the partition thing worked

Its definitely the fastest DesireHD build i ever tried :-)

780MB of free space is enough for me.

may i ask what happen if i use SD_boost in config file?

Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
Don´t you could corrupt the files on you sd card. There shouldn´t be any reason to use the boost.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
Just con conffirm im not having any trouble with weather updating, i use fancy widget pro and it seemed to update there, im having trouble updating Google Earth i even tried to uninstall it but the phone rebooted but to be honest i rarely use it so it's not of major concern.

I've only flashed an hour ago or thereabouts so too early to report but first impressions are that this is another superb build from Sergio,slick and fast;)

edit - i managed to uninstall Google Earth ok just now.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] M_T_M:
I miss the good 'ol days when we used to be contempt about "free" stuff.....

This ROM can only be described by the letter "F"........... :eek: ;)

Fabulous

Fast

Formidable

Fascinating

and so forth

Once again....thanks Sergio and gang for this "FREE" gift :D

Donation going your way
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DikoMike:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] nieves53:
Hi, and thank you core team n digital outcast, I tried your fix, I updated but when it restarts it can not load kernel. Flash the Rom again then boot it up then try your fix again n same problem...any idea what's causing this

hey guys any word on getting the ereader apk working?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] glenbo:
weather fix

Same here,the weather fix doesnt seem to work.Also the camera share option does an FC directly after taking a photo.But if you go back into the camera app again and selct the photo icon the share option does work. I am still very happy with the rom.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cwwjr1681:
I love this rom soo much i just wish there was a perma fix for flash web sites without downgrading I mean when you downgrade videos pay like crap;however its a tiny drawback
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DarkAdonis:
It works! My Weather just updated. Thank you very much for your quick assistance :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
Try downloading it again. He fixed it. :)

No not yet.

From the hundreds of posts since the new build, this is the first flash problem I´ve heard. We, the team haven´t had this problem that I know of.

on the new flash the web sites crash. when you downgrade to the one posted on the first page they play like crap its the current flash problem... It is and always has been the ONLY drawback to Coredriod. But ONLY one drawback to a FREE rom is a +1 imo
[HD2 Android NAND Development] SUBLIMINALLYINC:
good rom in 1.5 but what i dont underdstand is why time stamps are still 5 hours off!

you guy are using the telus stock rom which is cool (and canadian!) but at the same time all time stamps are based off GMT 0. and im in GMT -5.

DOES ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THIS?!?!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] patmorris:
Dude, thank you. now 1.5 is perfect!!!!!!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] lu71:
Congratulations to all the staff for this great rom .. you can return to

[HD2 Android NAND Development] dying4004:
when it restarts it can not load kernel
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Bingoig11:
So I suppose if I downloaded the fix 5 minutes ok, it should be the good one and I shouldn't have any problem? :p
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
Yea, it should work now. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wanahave:
Thanks. Problem solved now.

Strange thing is that this problem only occurs with the stock weather widget. I'm using, like Jonny, Fancy Widget Pro, and there it was no issue.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pixine786:
I am also having time stamp problem.... dunno maybe becoz of telus ROM or not... let me wait for some time and use manual time settings.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] coquipr:
Works like a charm,thanks buddy however I sill get an error when trying to sync contacts with HTC sense facebook(nevermind I got it to sync)

sent from my hd2 desire hd
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
This is the first time i´ve seen this issue. Anyone else?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] SUBLIMINALLYINC:
FINALLY!

someone acknowledges this timestamp issue exists!

its been there since core droid 1.0. i dont think it has anything to do with the telus ROM but the UK rom had it too.

the automatic time zone setting in dates and time setting seem to mess it up and i have to change it to GMT0 to resolve it. (which isnt right btw).

sergio and the team need to address it or at least keep in mind in the next release!

great rom though and super smooth!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Bingoig11:
And I confirm that it works perfectly :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
What is exactly the problem with the GMT setting. Please be more specific.

Cool bro, glad it worked. :)

after upgrading from 1.4 to 1.5, i left my phone idle over night. the battery with starting 70%ish dropped down to 41% today morning. :confused:

Weather update

Thanks to everyone for the suggested weather fix. Now my weather updates.. but the problem I have had since 1.3 is that the weather always reverts back to the location where I installed 1.2. It won't change to my current location.

Any suggestions?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jirka607:
Rom manager

May i ask where is ROM manager and for what it is?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
No mirrors, if the download is sluggish or "dead", give it a couple of minutes, then try again. Also it´s explained in the FAQ, and on the CorDroid website "coredroidroms.com"

Check to see what you have running in the background. Also check out the thread, this issue is addressed many times. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] perfectknight75:
yet another amazing update - so far its running with no problems (touch wood) today!

Thanks to the amazing team!

My payday is 15th so a little something is coming your way!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Rugged96:
have a done something wrong....when I boot up my start screen looks just like the 1.4 version and nothing like the screen shots shown in post #1.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
This may have somethng to do with the sense widget. Others have used fancy widgets, I use weather and toggle. They all seem to work without any problems.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] SolShade:
On T-Mobile 1024. Followed the Update instructions and it wiped my data. Slightly annoying but no big deal. My internet seems to be spotty and erratic. Took me like 20 minutes to get it to get it to finally connect to my HTC Sense account. Haven't got market able to connect yet. Wifi connection works fine though and i've only used 1gig this billing cycle so T-Mobile isn't choking me or anything
[HD2 Android NAND Development] SUBLIMINALLYINC:
my home time zone is GMT -5

whenever i recieve any sms messages from people's phones. i recieve them as if I was in GMT0.

ie i get SMS's at 10 am... the recieved SMS time stamp shows 5 AM. even though it was just sent at 10 am. this goes for whatever time zone im in (i travel a lot within Canada).

another example: i get sms at 12 noon but i am in the pacific time (gmt-8) sms displays it was recieved at 4am even though it was just sent at 12noon.

so the rom is stuck thinking its always locked at GMT0 regardless of what time zone i am in (this is only when im in automatic time provided by my carrier)

to manually fix this i have to go into DATE and TIME setting on my phone and set it to GMT0 and change my time accordingly.

dont get me wrong, this is a minor issue, its not a phone breaking fault. but a fix would be nice.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pixine786:
@Ray

When the Automatic (use network provided values) selected in Date & Time settings it chooses Central European Time automatically GMT+1.00 in time zone , so technically it is different time where I live in...

Sorry could not be more descriptive in this.. Pls look into it

2. Every build will include a Readme.txt file with all the instructions. These instructions are a step by step so please read them more than once if you are having problems with the flash."

but I can not see any "readme.txt" on .zip for 512MB HD2?
