Hey Guyz, i am fairly new to the world of flashing, 6 months ago i carried out my first android flash with HD2 Coredroid Froyo v1.6, i have never looked back or even considered using another rom, sergio's work is a masterpiece. Then the v1.6 software started messing around, no wifi etc, so i flashed HD2 CoreDroid GB 2.3.5 V3.7 recently,and i got to say this is a amazing rom, i tried the first gb rom way back and that was buggy, but this is smooth as butter.

i am asking if you guys be kind enough to help me out with some issues i am having on the HD2 CoreDroid GB 2.3.5 V3.7 rom. I am using a EU HD2, Magdlr 1.13, Ext4 32gb sandisk micro sd card, i dont know the class but it was the first one that came out

The Issues i am having

*I have adobe flash 11 installed but the flash videos on websites do not play,stating i have incorrect software, i think the rom came with flash 11 but im not sure as i did do a update. Any suggestions to get this working?

*When i first installed the rom the profile pictures from facebook for contacts cards used to show up for each individual contact in my sms inbox, but now it just shows a blue android logo, the mains contacts directory still shows the facebook profile pics associated with the contacts. Is there anyway to fix this?

*When i wake up the fone, theres seems to be a lag in trying to access and the loading up of sms inbox, contacts, email etc. is that normal? it can take up to 20secs for the info to show up on the screen,

* When trying to download apps from the market,they download but when installing the phone freezes and becomes unresponsive, is there a way round this?

* Last but not least, im sure you guys are thinking is there anything that does work with this guy, is the htc news widget, i cannot seem to add that widget onto the 1st tab of the homepages, i select the feeds and everything,press apply then it jus goes back to the personalize menu. i have tried several times

Your help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated in helping me fix these issues, i would prefer to use this rom rather than the froyo v1.8, the eyecandy in gb v3.7 is awesome.

After a few dances with a tambourine, Navitel works!

The only assembly, where I was almost happy with everything! Thank you very much for your work!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
That's an awesome thing to know, we appreciate your loyalty to CoreDroid. And the fact you got 3.7 running is awesome news.

I'm quite lucky as it works fine for me, but if you roll back to flash 10.1 Here it may work for you again, alternatively, find Flash player 11 in your apps list and clear it's data and cache before rebooting, that may work too

DaDoctor has just been on to me about the contact pictures in SMS. He said:

Open Terminal Emulator and type this command:

chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*

Fix Permissions may not work, the incorrect permission will probably be written.

No, that isn't normal, that's borderline ridiculous. Go into Task manager and click refresh, Now close any apps that are open. Does this speed it up at all?

Do you mean while the app is installing or after the installation has finished?

The Android market is a RAM eating monster that sometimes even slows down my Sensation. After installing an app, tap the home button and wait 5 seconds. The reason for waiting is that all the OOM scripts Sergio implemented now kick in and shut down the Market, rather than just closing it.

I miss the old market that was slick and fast...... :(

Now this is a common issue, adding tabs to the homescreen seems to be a recurring issue, even i had it.

It's a really unexplainable issue this bro, one day this issue just...... goes away all by itself, i can't explain it, it just does.

Well i hope this helps a little, and you haven't got bored of reading yet.

One thing that might solve all these issues is clearing the cache and dalvik cache in CWM/4EXT and letting the system rebuild them.

Then check your issues one by one before doing the steps above. Who knows? It may make everything but this section redundant. :)

I'm glad you are a CoreDroid fan, and it's nice that you have introduced yourself to us :D

What Nand I must use for v3.7 with HD2 EU ?

Can someone write changelog about this new version because I can't find it?

Does everything working correctly ?\

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android NAND Development] big-big:
Hi,

as mentioned here, the issue with the missing contact pictures in the SMS app also occurs on my device (v3.7).

But, I have another question: when I open the task manager, there is (almost) never a running app. I have the impression, that the system kills other apps immediately when I launch something else. Is there a way to influence this? As I don't use a task killer app, I don't know how to do this.

This is a pain when you work with a mapping app (Locus in my case) and by starting a 2. app (calclator, etc.) and after returning the mapping app is started from the beginning. So, it looses all temporarily created items and takes a lot of time for a relaunch.

Some ideas...?

Thanks, big.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
There is no changelog bro, 1.8 is a follow on from the Discontinued 1.7, not 3.7.

There are a few tweaks in 3.7 to make it faster than 3.6 and all NAND information is in the guide, Click the CoreDroid logo in my signature :)

There appear to be minor issues with some but not others bro, YMMV as always. :)

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

Hi bro, the ROM 3.7 does have a very aggressive task killer (Androids own but tweaked, so do not worry about damage)

If you need better multitasking you would be better off trying V1.8.

DaDoctor worked extremely hard to ensure that you lose as little eye candy as possible, and it has worked well enough that my HD2 is still using it after 5 days.

DaDoctor has just been on to me about the contact pictures in SMS. He said:

Open Terminal Emulator and type this command:

chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*

Fix Permissions may not work, the incorrect permission will probably be written.

Hope this helps...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] big-big:
Thanks, that chmod does help, but you have to have su to do it ;-)

But, for new thumbnails, this does not help them to be shown, or?

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

Ok, I understand. When it is a matter of available memory, is there a way to kick out some unused or unnecessary apps, like fb or other services?

BTW: my v3.7 runs well since a week now and I had only 3-4 freezes since. And, the battery life is much better than in v1.7. I like that! Did v.1.8 improved on the battery life compared to v1.7?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] shirinyan:
It can't boot !

Stuck on HTC CoreDroid screen and nothing.

I tried 10/180/5 and 10/390/5 but is the same ??? :(

Why :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] explicitsoundz1984:
Thanks Tiger, I will give your instructions a go, hope it works out, i will keep you posted. Yes Coredroid series is the rom to have, its subtle and elegant. Thanks again guys keep up the good work.

*The market freezes, making the phone unresponsive once the downloaded app is almost finished installing, market keeps on displaying installing, when the installing bar is displaying almost 90% completion, i press the home button before the market app freezes, but then the phone displays the homescreen and while still showing the install icon on the taskbar, but then the phone cannot be used for a good 5 mins. My phone is at standard cpu rating, it has not been overclocked, could it be the cpu is too weak?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
OMG bro, i'm sure i said click my banner?

You need to install on 10/180/10, if that doesn't boot go into CWM/4EXT and install the patch below, then boot again

If you didn't include the patch below when i released it bro, you are overclocking at 1190/384MHz so don't worry about that, chances are it is RAM, send me a PM and i will talk you through something that may help you personally.

Now, I have a serious problem: after applying the chmod for the thumbnails for the SMS app, my phone starts rebooting of its own! It comes up to the lock screen, sits a while and then does a hot reboot!

What can I do?

Edit: the phone was in flight mode while in this boot loop. I now switched the flight mode off and now it seams not to reboot itself anymore. PUH!

2. edit: that was too early... switching back to flight mode started the boot cycle again... what is this? that worked perfect the last week... :eek::confused:

Run a fix permissions script, from recovery or some app...

[HD2 Android NAND Development] big-big:
...in fact I did, this was my first aid. But this did not help with the boot loop. But what it did (or something else did it) was reversing the chmod, that I did earlier.

But today, the phone behaves normal while not in flight mode. Let's see, how that will be when my profile manager turns it back to flight mode tonight...

I found compatible MOD for Rosie to add Landscape. Froyo 1.7/1.8 only

Views as in screen-shots.

seems to work with all HTC widgets ;)

Please Understand that I will not take any responsibility for you messing your device or software using this MOD only experienced users should attempt this MOD as it alters systems files and could cause your device to fail to boot if done incorrectly

1/ Download the Rosie Rotation.zip attached below

2/ Unzip to folder C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\Rosie Rotation or a location of your choice

3/ Make sure that you have your device connected to your PC in sync mode

4/ Run the file named run_sys.bat and wait for the command to finish

5/ Your device screen should go blank while Sense restarts ,Congrats your all done and should now have the Landscape working ;)

Don't forget if you find this post useful please take the time to click on the thanks​
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wapvirus:
I have not changed the icons in landscape view as I couldn't find all of the but if someone more experienced in skinning/themes could point me there I would be more than glad to update this MOD
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
Hi wapvirus,

Thanks for this for the Froyo users and Yoda will say: one question i have..

Is this mod from you or comes this one from an other dev?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] freska8:
What is the difference in the theme between 3.7 and 1.8? Any screen shots? I love 3.7 but I am thinking of making the switch to 1.8.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wapvirus:
I downloaded the Rosie landscape then Changed the Portrait icons but I could not find all the landscape so I left them unchanged as it all needs to be skinned or it will look bad.

I am not sure of the Rosie files original origin or device ? But for me having Landscape is a must and I thought I would share with you all not keep to myself ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] beamnhi:
I've changed the fonts.

You can extract the "fonts" folder from V1.7 and paste into /system - replace the default "fonts" folder - using root explorer for root browser.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
Ok and no issue at all. It was a question about the source files. Then it was esier to change them. So we have to extract them and change what we need. That's all. I will take a look and extract all of them. So check the files please with the one you have done. Then tell me please what you need and what we have to change.

The other part is the images they are used in portrait and landscape. This we will find in the xml files. But first things first ;-)

Lockscreen weather background

I've finally come around to the CoreDroid camp, and I'm liking it! I've been running this rom for about a week, and I had to give it time to settle down before I saw performance AND good battery life.

Quick question: I have always HATED the default background wallpaper on the weather lockscreen. One of the advertising features that attracted me to this rom was a dark background on the weather lockscreen (the very first picture!). But when I switch to the weather lockscreen, I get the ugly HTC wallpaper. How can I change that?

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Mark5:
I am very much looking forward to this 1.2 release :)

I have been on this ROM since its release and am very happy. Have tried everywhich way to install it and found it robust with no worries.

Eventually settled on Gauner's kernel back 1.0 but then tried Tytung and then Raf. Was very pleased with Raf 1.6 and upgraded yesterday to 1.7.

The wheels fell off at that point. I had a problem with vanishing texts which a few others had too and after the kernel upgrade nothing worked anymore.

A complete reformat and reflash has got everything sorted (including Raf 1.7 being rock solid for 18 hours so far) so I wonder if my problems relate to kernel changes or is 'just one of those things'.

Ray - I wonder if as part of your testing you reflash a different kernel once every few hours to see if any instabilities enter the system? I didn't reflash too many times, MDJ to Gauner to Tytyng to Gauner to Raf 1.6 to Raf 1.7 (perhaps it was a few :) ) but the last kernel update wrecked the system.

Thanks for all your efforts... ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wanahave:
Did the WiFi Mac address change with this kernel? If you have Mac address security enabled in your router's WiFi settings, than it will not connect.

I had this once. So maybe also your problem.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] daysey:
Installed it yesterday and it's been smooth, no problem whatsoever.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] osrix:
I had a similar experience with V1, but since then i have always wiped the dalvik before the kernel update and so far it seems to work.... maybe you do that, but I havent had any problems for the last 3 changes ive made. it could also be just down to luck i guess!

.....Yeah Ive been up all night just pressing F5 every few seconds Lol :p
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Mark5:
Not a bad idea. I know little about the dalvik cache, but if the kernel update somehow wobbled the way the namespace for certain apps were cached (maybe double entries - dunno) then app instability could result. :confused:

Will try it next time and live with the initial lag as the odex repopulates...can't hurt.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] osrix:
Yeah i dont know much about it either, but when ive applied updates to my wifes Hero; Modaco suggests a dalvik wipe, and i'm sure i read it in in the Rafpigna Rom thread somewhere recently too.

I might be wrong but i'm assuming the dalvik cache is a kind of page file or at least temporary storage for apps and parts of the system, if thats the case it would make sense to clear it before an update.

Can anyone confirm or explain better please?..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] shingers5:
People pressing f5 make me laugh man. When its released you'll have it as 1st page will be updated lol. Obsession more like not just addicted lolol chill for **** sake it be released when ready
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Scabes24:
Rest assured that once you update to v1.2 you wont want\need to switch kernals :)

EDIT: This is obviously not directed towards you Mark lol.

Yeah I usually wipe dalvik before updating anything as well.. and to help understand it dalvik cache is a program cache area for the program dalvik. Dalvik is a java based virtual machine that is the bases for running your programs (the ones that have the .apk extension). In order to make access times faster (because there's not JIT compiler installed by default), the dalvik-cache is the result of dalvik doing a optimization of the running program. Sounds confusing i know.. It's similar to the prefetch files in Windows.

lol I can tell you right now that the release wont be until later today/night at the earliest.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] osrix:
It was a joke...and cut the F###ing swearing man. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] osrix:
Thanks Scabes, glad you cleared that up. its good to understand things a little better and nice to know i'm doing something right for a change! coming from Windows its learning all over again, I only really played with the Sd builds and occasionally my wifes Hero when i convince her she must need a new ROM!!!

(I really was joking about the F5 thing...I actually like my sleep more than this thread!!)

[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
For the questions about the kernels. I am actually using the 1.7 now. No problems. But guys, it´s kind of like working on a computer, if you install anything new boot it twice. Why, because after every new start you machine gets used to it.

Mark, I have actrually almost done that. Just not every few hours. I have tested every kernel that would work with this build. Sometimes I have done a complete wipe, sometimes not. Please make sure that if you guys are experimenting with new kernels to boot twice. When I booted with the 1.7 the first time I also got a FC, gave it time to settle down (ca. 20 minutes), rebooted, after that no problems. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sergio76:
Yes flashing kernels can cause many issues jumping from one to another the problem is not all kernel have the same features or contain just a little change that will cause big problems on HD2 the best way is too flash the kernel you like too use just after you flashed build with out Rebooting once. How ever if its a update from previous kernel is most issue free the flash.

Tiger, I unfortunately suffer from the same issue when installing or upgrading an app from the market. Can you help?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] big-big:
Hi folks,

so, my device did not ended up in this boot loop again since, But the one of my son did! And again, it was the set to flight mode, when it was trapped in this booting loop. Probably the services, that are started during the boot process are in charge for this, like the Battery Monitor Widget or the ClockSync, that are started after the boot.

Actually, the lock screen was visible for about 1 minute and then it restarts and the beats audio logo popped up.

When I switched to normal mode (Wifi, telco net), the phone boots properly.

Just to let you know...

What happened to the adblocker? In Froyo, it worked almost perfect, but in v3.7 almost nothing is blocked...

Any explanation?

I got this ROM to work on my phone after all the other versions aside from 1.4 to work. This version works flawlessly on my phone and I'm happy with how fast it is! Thanks alot for all your hardwork! :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
1.8 is a FroYo ROM mate, Old school. I will upload screenshots soon though.

I thought it changed at night to dark, and light during the day.....

Mine does..

Your welcome. :)

The only thing that you can do is hit the home key and be patient.

The only two things we can do is:

Reduce the size of the OOMs etc, which would bring the ROM down to a crawl most of the time instead of just in high memory situations.

Go back to the old market (which was much better and much less memory intensive) but this would be updated as soon as you open it.

Short answer, sorry bro, it's the one downside and AFAIK, there is nothing we can do. Blame the fact that we haven't got enough memory for new Android Builds.

Glad you got working with a bit of stability.

Do the following:

Click Adfree app

Allow SU permission

Skip registration

Check "Use /data/data/hosts symlink

Click create symlink if needed.

Reboot

Have a go with this

You are also very welcome. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] freska8:
It took me a while to convince myself to switch to coredroid, but when I did I asked myself why I hadn't switched a long time ago. All that time wasted using ROMs that now seem sub-par to me. I love this ROM.

Thank you Tiger. Screenshots would be great. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Consider it done, want to see anything else?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bipinsen:
That's normal HTC wallpaper behavior. But its still the default. If you look at the screenshot of the CoreDroid rom with weather wallpaper, you'll see its all dark and looks very different from the HTC "dark" background.
