V1.4 - First Impressions

I installed this build yesterday (very first NAND) and was extremely impressed with the out of box experience. Although it is early days (not yet 24 hours), the only problem I have discovered so far is with the BBC iPlayer. Every time, I try to play a programme, it attempts to connect then reverts to the menu page. I can watch programmes in Skyfire but prefer the iPlayer. Has anyone else experienced this?

Generally, I applaud the work Sergio has put into skinning this. It really adds a different dimension to the stock Sense. My only comment on the skinning would be with the font used. I find this can be difficult to read within browsers (might be an age thing!!!). I downloaded the default fonts but haven't a clue how to install these. If anyone can help, I would be most grateful. ;)

Battery life so far has been exceptional compared to the various SD versions I have tried. Glad I bit the bullet and discarded Winmo! :D

Speed, although relative, is excellent. :D

Overall impressions are positive. If battery life continues and the above couple of minor issues can be resolved then I will be extremely happy. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] despy1989:
Report so far on 1.4

Great ROM and really good on performance. Speed is the quickest of all the versions so far.

Install procedure: I did a clean install Task29, SD formatter, CWM partition, Reformat Ext 3 in 4kb cluster size thru EASEUS, Reflash Magldr and then install New ROM thru CWM zip followed by 4 ROW zip and then did a SD-EXT restore from previous backup.

Working: Everything works !! wifi, Bluetooth, Hotspot, GPS fix now less than 15 sec indoor, Battery life if the best of all ROM's so far, Reboot faster (under 2 min)

Issues: Music stuttering but almost as if its missing words/notes, USB disk drive mode delinks by itself after sometime, Unable to install any Animation Zip (flying etc) or alternative kernels thru CWM (goes into bootloop) , Occasionally losing widget settings during reboots,

Overall its a great ROM and now for me its a daily usable ROM with the improved battery life. Thanks a lot Sergio and core cell team.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] despy1989:
With respect to fonts: download the Desire Stock font zip file from post 2 and save it on your sd card as a zip file (i.e do not unzip file). Reboot to CWM> choose install zip from sdcard option> choose zip from sdcard and then navigate thru r sd card folders to the place where u stored the font zip file and install. once install is successfull reboot system as usual and you should be done

Caution: Please fully backup your system on CWM prior to doing this in case you go into a bootloop you then will need to restore everything from CWM from scratch (which has happened to me in the past though) i have not tried the fonts on 1.4 i have done this successfully on 1.2

Hope it works :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jetsetwilly:
Try the Flash apk update on post #4 and let us know how you get on. It solved the same problem for me but now the vids are in slow motion :confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Many thanks for the prompt response. Always game for a laugh so will proceed with the usual caution. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Thanks for the suggestion. I saw the Flash update but didn't apply as all works perfectly in Skyfire. Given your experience, I think I'll stick to Skyfire for the moment but thanks for your help. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jetsetwilly:
Yep, just tried it in Skyfire and, like you say, works fine. I'd previously tried the default browser and Dolphin but with no luck. Odd. Not a big fan of the Skyfire; I guess it's just what you get used to. Anyhoo, thanks. Hopefully this will get sorted in the next revision. :o
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sapir_hv:
The 1.4 looks grate! only one problem, the apps UnlockMe and Guitar: Solo lite has stopped working (even after task 29 and complete SD format)..

both apps start, but they cant do anything (in UnlockMe you can't play and in "Guitar: Solo lite" the app juts says:"loading chords" and do nothing..)

What can I do?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Know what you mean about Skyfire but found it perfect for BBC iPlayer and Flash content on Winmo so installed on Android for same reason. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Well, what do you know? Everything worked perfectly. Now got the default font and I can read web pages again!! :D:D Once again, many thanks for your help. Getting used to all the various NAND tools slowly but surely. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] charlie_oz:
Ok cool.

I Realise what your saying and will do if necessary but is there a way to keep my apps without having to reinstall them and lose all that data. this is Really important for me if I have to start afresh . Does copying the sd card allow me to save apps and data and then paste onto freshly formated card thereafter

I have the Navionics app. which whenever changing roms goes t.ts up (even when TB is done)and will not even show in the market on gingerbread roms .

Not sure why that is

Suggestions please >>>???

There are various other apps. which i am not so bothered about, but navionics is a godsend to fishermen and sailors alike and as its been paid for I'd like to keep it working.

I had contacted them about this discrepancy but had the usual reply " whos your service provider , rah rah etc, so have stuck with 2.2.1 roms ever since. namely Sergios.

And yes your right i am trying to avoid having to set everything up again and again.

Thanks for your advice so far.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] HC4Life:
Me too.

Thanx to c0rp1 ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
Sometimes when i install apps (not from the market the actual.apk) the phone just closes down and reboots can this be looked into?

I always go to ROM manager and select fix permisisons any time i uninstall or install apps, im hardly getting any force closes but ive noticed the above is happening more and more!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] allcal:
working great cant take the phone out of my hand works like charm..:D:D:D:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jaypeg123:
Has anyone been able to set this rom to ppp?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Bimme:
First to say, 1.4 is great an a keeper or course.

But im still getting the no notification problem when new sms arrives.

It occures im every 4th or 5th message. I described it sind pages ago when i was on 1.3.

Can anybody confirm the problem? Otherwise i will Format ms sd, Do a task29 sms start from scratch..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Peperepe:
coredroid for my hd2

I have tried so many roms! Now I've decided to keep this one. it is simply the best!:p
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Bimme:
How do u make sure ppp is enabled correctly?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sorin129:
Lag

Ok after using this Rom for a few days and installed it twice here is my take:

The rom is beautiful with great animations and everything works great but is a little bit slow and it has a lot of lag when scrolling, especially scrolling the home screens.

I don't know if its because of all the great animations or something else.

I could try another Rom but I like everything about this Rom except the Lag :(

Anyway thanks for a great Rom and maybe we find a way to get rid of the lag

Thanks again
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sean3:
Not sure if this is carrier specific, but on your dial pad dial *#*#4636#*#* and open "phone information"
[HD2 Android NAND Development] odoss:
Well, i'm very pleased with the 1.4 for the first time i can say : it's near PERFECT !

however,

in some rare cases, when i have a phone call and i push the yes button to answer, the phone crashes completly, i don't know why, it's related to the sound maybe, maybe one day i'll see a better sound quality and stability.

but other than that, it's all sweet thanks guys :o !!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Bimme:
It works:

ppp send: 37380 packets

ppp received: 39431 packets

Ppp resets: 0

So i think im using ppp

( i changed config.txt right after flashing before the first boot)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sean3:
Exactly, if you modified the config.txt, rebooted and you can see PPP in the phone info, then you are up and going:)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] raviluke:
Install launcherpro from the market.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] raviluke:
Where is the config.txt file? Or do I have to make one?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jetsetwilly:
I never modified the config file but checked using the method posted by Sean above and also have ppp.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kkmmnn:
This is not a viable option as it completely defeats the purpsose of a Sense build. If I am going to use a custom launcher then obviously I would use a gingerbread/froyo ROM...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] raviluke:
Yep, I tested the same and I have PPP as well without any modifications
[HD2 Android NAND Development] raviluke:
Yea that's one thing but another thing is...you won't find a similar Rom with such amazing battery life even on gingerbread. Now its upto you what you want to do....lagness or best battery life.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] crx4xharder:
Try autokiller in the market. Coming from a mytouch 4g, I've noticed a difference but its marginal considering the additional ram. I found this rom to be nice with vmheap set to 36 and autokiller set to "strict". I know everyones gripes with task killers, but i've always used autokiller with good results. The general consensus seems to be, a fresh install, reformat sd, repartition, wipe everything... Maybe a task29 as well?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sorin129:
lancherpro

I'm using Launcher Pro Plus but its still a lot of lag when scrolling.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sean3:
Well, I'm a couple of versions behind, but look inside your sd and find a data file. Select it and find config.txt. Open it and you will see some some items. Look for ppp mode=0. If you want to change from ppp to rmnet I believe you can change the value from 0 to 1, save and reboot. Or in the alternative, leave it at 0 for ppp. I could have the values turned around. That's what I have in version 1.2.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] raviluke:
I have launcher pro plus as well and I have zero lags. Maybe you have to do a fresh wipe and install.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jaypeg123:
This is not right, it showes the same info on both ppp and rmnet

???
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
yeah it can sometimes be quite sluggish when scrolling
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sorin129:
with all do respect I doubt you don't have any lag with this Rom whne scrolling. maybe you never had any rom before with 0 lag to tell the difference. Anyway is still a great and beautiful rom with lots of good things in it and I will deal with the Lag because i like the rom.

Ps. I already did a fresh install and wipe everything and still have the same lag
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sean3:
Ok, not sure why that is. When you changed modes did you save your change in the config.txt and reboot?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Bimme:
Still nobody with that sms no notification issue?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jaypeg123:
Man what kind of question is that.:(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sean3:
Bimmie, you're not getting a sound when an sms arrives?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sean3:
Lol, not trying to question your knowledge, just confirming you did that's all:) My apologies.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jaypeg123:
yes I did all that atleast 10 times, is there no script for this? I have seen one in another rom, but I dont know if it suites every rom.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] q9650:
Everyone has shuttering music: its cuZ of cluster size of ext partition and fat32 partition...

Everyone has lag, etc, did u overclock? If yes that's the problem. Uninstall setcpu and all problems will go away :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dukjinlee:
Best Of Best Android Rom !!

But Battery Drain ...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
I use CPU Tuner it's free and as good if not better than setcpu which you've to pay for and i don't overlock,i highly doubt the problem will go away if i was to uninstall CPU tuner, it may be something to do with the build or kernel related?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] q9650:
Well this Rom uses rafpignas kernel...I had A LOT OF ISSUES when I overclocked my CPU...and once I uninstalled setcpu everything worked like a charm. BTW setcpu is for free at this forum ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Bimme:
right.

every 4 or 5 SMS, i get no notification. No sound, no notification icon in the top bar, no notification bubble on the message shortcut, no vibration.

so i dont know i got an sms.

when i open the message app the blue notification bubble pops ups.

this is a huge problem cause im missing a lot of messages, or i notice them too late...

from WinMo i made a task29 and install v1.2 as my very first NAND Android.

i updated to 1.3 like described in the readme. On 1.3 i first noticed this sms bug. i updated to 1.4 and thought maybe it is fixed, but it isnt.

so if nobody have this problems, i will make a task29 again, format my sdcard again and start from scratch.

this is the only problem i have with this wonderful rom.

i dont really care for a little bit of laggyness when scrolling. And i think the most lag comes from the auto sync....so i disabled it.

the most battery drain comes from autosync and bad 3g/hspda reception.

So i switched my band to GSM only.(u can still enable it if u need it for surfing the web). This way i´m down to 2-3ma on standby...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] BRB2HH:
seems to be a good build...

I don't want to offer criticism! The reverse is true.

I followed this thread since it started daily.

There were many posts with little problems few days after a new version was release.

We have to realize that it's the first time that this not happend.

Maybe there are hardly any problems with this build.

Sad to say that there are people who have had some problems.

Maybe they should try a fresh install, because many people have had hardly any problems and everybody has the same device...

Only the network provider and the sd card could be different.

But this discused many times.

I think the flash procedure should be the key to success.

I think this thread community can help you all...

Good luck and my heartfelt sympathy
[HD2 Android NAND Development] djtheraven:
great job...i had no other issues that anyone else had...but the guitar does not load the strings....any fix? but music and games play great no lag....and havent lost data to pc connect yet...i loaded 5 gigs at once
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sorin129:
ok

Ok I'm going to unistall setcpu and see what happens
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
CPU Tuner is as good if not better than setcpu and is an essential app for me so am gonna keep it, ive had this with other Desire HD builds and not really had the lag which leads me to believe that this is not the fault.;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] crx4xharder:
Go to settings, display, led notifications to turn them on
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sorin129:
you right

you are right. I unistalled setcpu and still had lag so it must be something else
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Praak:
I've tried only v1.3 and it was quite stable but not so fast. But you should get a beer because theme is beautiful. Great job! I should try newest version!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ShinySideUpAZ:
Determining which RADIO you are running

Maybe I'm the only one who is a bit thick, but I couldn't remember which Radio I had loaded. In the old WinMo days the radio version shows up during the boot sequence, but this is not the case in the NAND Android world.

I took me over an hour to find the answer!

The Radio Version is mangled with some other information I don't recognize in 'Baseband version' with in the 'Software Version' of the 'About Phone' panel in Home settings.

The radio version will be the last half of the string displayed under 'Baseband version'. I am currently running Radio 2.15.50.14. Below is the text displayed on my phone:

15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14​

Anyone know what the first half of the string is displaying?

seach tags: radio version show display NAND
[HD2 Android NAND Development] siriokeliang:
little issues

I really like this rom but I have some problems. 1 video audio sync. 2 then when I take a picture, the image disappears immediately, even when I configure the settings: 5 seconds or unlimited. Does anyone have the same problem?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mythek88:
slightly off topic but can anyone please upload an apk for Locations? I had a little problem with the Locations not being able to open up...so I tried to uninstall it with Titanium Backup, for some reason TB wasn't able to restore the app.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ShinySideUpAZ:
Deleting Ext3 Partition

If you're a TMOUS user and wanted to move the full NAND, but didn't have any tools for deleting the Ext3 partition on your SD card, try the method below. I'm not sure about the other methods, but this method leaves the data on the FAT32 Non Ext partition intact.

Download and install Mini-Tool Partition Wizard Home Edition Version 5.

Shut Down your phone and remove the SD card.

Insert the SD card into the SD slot in your computer or into an attached card reader.

Once the card has been recognized by your system. Launch Partition Wizard by right clicking on the icon and selecting 'Run as Adminstrator'

Locate the SD card in the Partition Wizard display and right click the small < 1g partition on your SD card and select 'Delete'. Make sure your picking the right one on the right drive. Pick the wrong drive and you might wipe your compter or the part of your SD card you want to keep.

At this point the window on the left side of the screen should show 1 operation pending to delete a partition. Press the apply button.

It can take up to 10 minutes for the partition to be deleted.

Once done the small partition should now show as Unallocated.

Shut down Partition wizard and restart using the same process in Step 4.

Right click on the Large FAT32 partition on your SD card and select 'Move/Resize'

With your mouse grab the right side of the partition and slide it all the way to the right over the grayed area. Press 'Ok'

Once again hit the 'Apply' button. This can take 10 to 15 minutes.

When the operation is complete, close Partition Wizard.

Unmount the SD card from your computer and then physically remove the card and reinstall back in your phone. You have deleted the Ext3 partition.

From this point follow the instructions in the txt file included in the ROM extraction.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] shankville75:
Great ROM!! Fast and Smooth as ever. Just keep getting that annoying "small" MMS problem. I applied the MMS fix, but still a no-go. I have a TMOUS HD2 running on simple mobile network. Can't figure it out for the life of me!!!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] djtheraven:
I have the same problem with the camera...if you use ' don't use this setting' then you get 3 secs
[HD2 Android NAND Development] TOG565:
I have zero lag aswell and have had plenty of experience with cooked and native roms on multiple formats. Maybe try reload?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] djtheraven:
i have no prob sending or receiving mms with tmobile...set mms to 300 max..or what is you prob?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nieves53:
I've been using this Rom for about 48hrs now, zero lag, responsive , fast n beautiful. Thank you Sergio n team for this build.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] shankville75:
small mms

I can send and receive just fine, the pics come in thumbnail sized. Every sense ROM I try, I have the same problem. I don't have that problem with CM7, tho. That keeps me from using and enjoying sense ROMs. :mad:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] crx4xharder:
No setcpu, autokiller set to strict, vmheap at 36, no animations = no lag ;-)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mythek88:
can anyone please upload an installer apk for stock Locations? I had a problem with the Locations not being able to open up...so I tried to uninstall it with Titanium Backup, for some reason TB wasn't able to restore the app.

And how are you guys getting such high QUADRANT scores? Im only getting around 1300 score for full benchmark. When I tried RAFDROID v3.1..my hd2 got scores around 2000+ how does rafdroid was able to get such a high quadrant score when coredroid respond smoother and seemms to be faster than rafdroid..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sorin129:
well...

After some investigations it turns out that I don't have any lag when do a fresh install but if I restore all my apps I have lag again so it must be at least one app that gives me lag.

Now I have to just install one app at the time and find out which is causing the problem.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Mcc05:
I have this iPlayer problem too, but sometimes its works other times it just goes back to the menu.

Either way I get slow choppy video unless I overclock then iPlayer works like a charm, will see if I have the same results with the flash fix.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Mcc05:
Boot screen

Love this build, but have to admit I prefer the old boot screen and animations, more subtle ones without the new text.

Have managed to replace the animation part with the old one, but can some one tell me where the first boot screen image is located so I can replace that one back to the 1.3 version.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sergio76:
New Version as been delivered too team major updates.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Let us know how you get on as I for one would be very interested in the results. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Great news, Sergio. Having recently joined the Android community and having discovered your build on Friday, I am extremely impressed with the results so far, particularly the battery usage. It is the lowest I have seen. Not sure how you could improve on this but will be eagerly watching. If you need another tester then please let me know. I have extensive experience as a Product Manager in satellite communications and have been managing software teams for years, including compiling comprehensive test plans.

On a personal front, I mentioned in an earlier post that the only comment I have on your excellent skinning was the font used. I have reverted to the original font and find this far easier on the eye when using the device. For ease of use, may I suggest that you use the default and allow users to change to another if they wish. ;) Just my tuppence worth.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] yokh_ki:
Keep us informed

Please keep us informed if you can identify the problem. I believe it will be of interest for the community...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pao17:
Yeah! Amazing build.

Flashed it finalles, no bootloop anymore! :D Finally solved my problem.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
I have tested in several different ways, fresh install, update. Never had the lag problem. You do have to give it time to install and update all apps. I usaully give it 20-30 minutes. Then always after first boot new install. :)

BTW, this next version is even better than the 1.4. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Well, I have tried the Flash fix and it doesn't work for BBC iPlayer so not sure what is causing this problem. :mad:

It is interesting that you don't experience problems when overclocking - even though this doesn't make sense.

Here's hoping Sergios latest build fixes this. Would be great if one of the testers could try it.

Edit. Now getting the same problem in Skyfire!!

Further edit. Solved Skyfire problem :D but BBC iPlayer still not working :(
