So here's the problem again: Turning on GPS once causes no problem, but turning it off and on again doesn't work. No function or even the symbol in the taskbar. And do you really think that all 3 users did the same mistake? Could be right, but it's not sure. ;-)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sentinel196:
I haven't done a completely clean install of 2.6 yet so I probably shouldn't be posting this, but I had something happen last night that hasn't happened before...

My phone was at 65% battery, then 2 hours later when I went to wake it up, it was off. I couldn't get it to turn on at all so I plugged it in to the charger and sure enough, the battery was completely flat! Bizzare!

I got a SOD when I tried to wake it up this morning after a night charging too. SO there is still some kind of issue there. However I'll try a clean install before I complain :)

Otherwise excellent ROM. To those complaining that their HD2 is their primary GPS device and they need GPS for work, go back to Windows Mobile.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dacen:
I did not say it does not work!

Me and the other guys just have the issue that when its turned off and on again, it does not work. So its like an inaccuracy in raising some flag and switching it off again correctly. And because three people reported the same problem of this specific issue without any variation whatsoever, your theory of the corrupted download, would be like hitting the biggest jackpot in vegas. In my opinion very unlikely. One person with this problem stated that it occured in 2 different versions so again very unlikely.

I can be wrong of course, but since I am not an expert on any android stuff, I would appreciate an educated guess, why this might have happen. Maybe it has nothing to do with the GPS itself, just with the changing of setting.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] robrob777:
+3

I did a complete fresh installation of V2.6. GPS works but if you turn it off and back on it wont work. You need to reboot to fix it. I'm using TTY v7 kernel.

edit: went back to 2.5.1 and replaced kernel(as before to tty v7 ) and everything is fine.I didnt even delete the user data.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] noellenchris:
Ok, after trying GPS like you guys said, mine don't work either. I'd guess that it's something maybe in the latest nightly. No clue. I will check with typhoon when I see him on IRC. Good find, I apologize for not seeing this and guessing it was a download issue. I just feel like I've been a broken record lately with all the other issues.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] TheCoutures:
+1 for me as well, if I turn off and on it doesn't work if I turn it on and leave it on, reboot it works.

I as well did a complete clean install
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
do you know how annoying a post like yours is

needs to be solved quickly

posts like yours would make me just pull my stuff

and not share it with anyone

and to put it all in caps

to me thats disrespectful

if its that much of a problem revert back to a version that worked

for you until it can be resolved
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
i can confirm the gps issue also

did task29 and everything fresh did not install any backups
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dacen:
No problem. I didn't take the wrong way. I just wanted to make my point clear, because i thought "What the heck? Why does he not see it?". So everyone is now on the same page and the misunderstanding is taken care off.... :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] noellenchris:
just looked here http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:merged,p,001394c700000ec7 to see what cyanogen has merged lately and don't see any references to gps......could just be a corrupt lib or it compiled wrong. Not sure. Probably be fixed by typhoon when next nightly drops. You can also look here for nightlies http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=bravo

EDIT: FOUND THIS http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#patch,sidebyside,3833,2,bravoc.mk DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL HELP
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
cool thanks

i can wait for it i dont use gps alot now anyways just trying to help
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bft579:
I was able to reproduce the gps bug in 2.5.5. Not sure how long its been around
[HD2 Android NAND Development] TheCoutures:
Still having the issue to where my phone goes into no service at standby can't figure it out for the life of me

SOD

hey,

got a SOD today with version 2.5.5 on a euro hd2.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] zbremi:
I had the same issue so I redownloaded the rom reinstalled (wiped cashe) it and problem solved.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] xxljmzlxx:
Is it safe to uninstall adw.launcher if your using launcher pro plus? Or is adw attached to some system file? Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] noellenchris:
yes u can remove adw launcher
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ookba:
You don't really have to. Just install Launcher Pro and select it as default.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
so that would have to be cooked in correct
[HD2 Android NAND Development] noellenchris:
well after comparing 2.6 to 2.5.4 and 2.4.3, nothing changed for gps libs. Could be something in framework which would be a nightly thing. I'm starting to think it's in the new initrd that he's using. I'm looking into that now...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Charmacas:
7X518828EH328924F

Some effort for your good work typhoon! :-)

-- EDIT --

The new initrd was build in for the 2.6 but the problem was also at the 2.5.5 so I don't think you have to have a look at that point, do you?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
ok cool thanks for looking into it
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dlsniper:
Hey, have you managed to view the initrd file?

I'm currently getting this:

gunzip -v initrd.gz

initrd.gz:

gzip: initrd.gz: unexpected end of file

If I extrat the file with Windows:

cpio -i < ./initrd

cpio: premature end of file

Also if I open the initrd.gz file with the default archive manager in Ubuntu I see that the size of the inird file is 608.1MB

If I open another initrd.gz file, say from the Unofficial CM7 Nightly I see a 3.2MB file in archive manager and the cpio extracts the file correctly.

Any advice?

Best regards.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] noellenchris:
I'm out for a few hours, but if you want to download the standard 2.5.5 version and switch out the initrd file from 2.5.5 to 2.6, you can try that. It may also fix gps. I'd try and test, but i'm out eating dinner.

noellenchris
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dlsniper:
Hi, that one, from v.2.5.5, seems to extract ok and I can read it's contents but I don't know how to push the file to the phone (I'm still learning things about HD2).

Maybe someone else or even tyween will solve this meanwhile.

Oh and btw: bon apetit

Best regards.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] hedgy2136:
I ran fix permissions and was able to GPS lock again. I have no idea how long it will last, though

Oh, the joy.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
i will give that a try also
[HD2 Android NAND Development] 2000impreza:
I tested the initrd from v2.5.3(RC2) in the most recent release (2.6). The GPS issue still exists. I briefly looked at the initrd as well and can't spot anything that would be causing this issue. Might try reverting the rom back to v2.5.3 to see if the issue is still there.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
ok i did the fix permissions and got a lock

then ran maps and it worked

closed maps and gps did a few other things and then tried gps again

and no lock at all
[HD2 Android NAND Development] hedgy2136:
After several power cycles and reboots, I am still able to lock in about 7 seconds. At this point, I am semi-satisfied that this has solved the issue for me.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] hedgy2136:
Well, it seems you are right. I was just testing GPS and rebooting or power cycling. After doing what you did, I can't get a lock any more either.

I'll try doing fix permissions once again now.

It seems that GPS has to be toggled off before running fix permissions, otherwise it won't work.

At least if you need GPS in a pinch, there is a way to get it back temporarily.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] noellenchris:
cool, just got home. Probably a permissions issue with something. The initrd also sets several permissions. Should be an easy fix. Thanks for whoever it was that tried the fix permissions. Nice work!

noellenchris
[HD2 Android NAND Development] 2000impreza:
I reverted back to 2.5.3(RC2). Also used the initrd from the latest release(2.6). GPS appears to work fine even with the new initrd. I can turn it on and off without issues. I don't believe this issue is related to the initrd.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] hedgy2136:
After running fix permissions a 2nd time (3rd if you count the time I did it while GPS was on), I can make it stop responding while the OS is running by turning it on/off/on, opening other apps etc... But rebooting seems to fix it again without having to fix permissions.

I truly appreciate all of the effort the devs put into this and I hope I have given some helpful feedback.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] the_scotsman:
Can someone tell me wtf "fix permissions" is? :confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] hedgy2136:
Rom Manager -> Fix Permissions
[HD2 Android NAND Development] xxljmzlxx:
Its in the recovery... No idea what exactly it does but it solved fc problems for me in the past
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mattfmartin:
It changes the ownership to all of your files and apps to the proper ones. (aka chown 777)

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 Android NAND Development] noellenchris:
you can open terminal and type "su" enter then "fix_permissions"
[HD2 Android NAND Development] the_scotsman:
Thanks for the replies...never had to use it before, but it seems you guys founnd a problem with GPS that this fixes....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mattfmartin:
Fix permissions is like duct tape. It will work for a bit. Definitely not a fix

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 Android NAND Development] the_scotsman:
Decided to do a fresh install (task29, everything...)...flashed ROM, setup account etc, installed some apps, rebooted...not I can't get past the splash screen....:rolleyes:

Now doing a wipe and installing again.....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yytinen:
I am sorry, was a bit tired back then. I did:

-task 29

-installed radio 2.15

-installed MAGLDR 1.13

-istalled CWM 1.3 (made for this build)

-installed typhoon

But that is not the point actually, It has been doing it with every android I have had. Maybe its with the battery or hardware is broken.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Rattle001:
Hi

Im running V2.6 with no GPS-Problems. Anything works great.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mattfmartin:
Yeah but the question is can you turn on and off multiple times and the icon still appears?

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dacen:
Hi

Concerning the fix permission: Sorry for not including it, but it does not solve the problem with GPS not working After you turn it off and on again.

I think it has something to do how the setting is saved or how a the service is shut down and on again.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mdscarrott:
Similar thing happend for me with 2.6 clean install. Was at approx 60% with GPS and data turned on, but was not using phone, when i went back to the phone 2 hours later i turned it on to see it at 1% and then turn off. It was epic drain, didnt have any logging turned on though.

Also - i had just had the same GPS issue before this happened which i had to reboot from - maybe the two are linked?

:confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Psygnosis84:
Does anyone else have some weird lines on all of the market apps images? It's very faint but they are vertical lines. Click on any image in the market and let me know if it looks fine or if it has vertical lines in some parts of the image.

I played games and they're all fine.

Mostly all the wallpapers for the home screen is fine but the last one i applied had a small section with a vertical line.

Also i've noticed that in the first images, that the drop down menu where the notifications are is slightly transparent. My one is completely opaque.

hmmm
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kupfel:
yeah I noticed those strange vertical lines as well. Thought it was artifacts from the compression the market uses. Don't they show up on other devices?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bzdemes:
Did a fresh install (As per the first post) and phone is working great EXCEPT still getting the odd SOD!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mknewman:
SOD after 24 hours on rc2. Black scr3n, no wake-up, buttons and backlight lite though.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] terence.palmer:
Installed 2.60 ..... got SOD .... reverted to tytung v7 ....all good.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] busterdan:
Really happy with this rom, but have just one problem....

If I add accounts and chose Facebook, nothing happens - well it just returns to the accounts screen... had a look through this thread but couldn't see anything specifically related to this. I do have a google account added and that seems to be syncing fine, but I just cant add face book.

Any suggestions please?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] terence.palmer:
I think that it has something to do with the themes ....I had this problem, install and applied honeybread theme, everything is good ...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943423
[HD2 Android NAND Development] xcooling:
I have not had a single SOD with any of your builds.

It could be that I run GO Launcher EX to replace the default launcher.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] justaguyh:
had the same issue... it happend after i moved the facebook app to the sd...

moved it back to the phone and the sync works. atleast it appears in accpunts.

using an a2sd feature

i've flashed the 2.60 vr.

now i have just 55 mb internal space free. any (simple) way to increase it?

i've tried to flash mdj's a2sd+ through recovery mode, but it doesn't appear to change anything... any suggestions?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] TheCoutures:
What's to hot to run this phone? I am messing with the Overclocking and currently have Min CPU and Max CPU set to 1536Mhz and Governor at Performance. Temp is going from 89.6 to a max thus far of 92.3. I am trying to get it so N64 emulator runs without lag but so far no dice. Anyways the performance test was off the charts and would like to keep it but I'm not wanting to damage my device also.

Edit

After about 5 mins of continuous play of Mario 64 my phone got up to 96.8 the temp gauge was in the red it's now down to 95 I think I'll bring it down a notch
[HD2 Android NAND Development] CyberClaw:
A2SD+ is built into the ROM.

Format a A2SD+ partition into your SD card. The space will remain the same but apps will be installed in your new partition. If you want to check if A2SD+ partition is being detected well, download titanium backup free, and in the main screen it measures your phone, sd card, and a2sd+ space.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] busterdan:
Thanks for the suggestion... just tried that and it didn't work :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] busterdan:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] pack21:
Great Job!

Thanks.

I never thought a CM7 could be so fast like yours, I was using mdj for a long time, then I try Xboard56(imgpc base) stock ginger and it is faster than mdj.... so I thought it was because CM7 stuff that was slowing the ginger.

Today I have Nothing to do, and decide to try this build and was surprised how good and fast is it..... and I like very much of the smoothness of web scrolling and the speed of web pages reload.... of course this have some hand of RAFA 1.7 kernel..... but the build and cook work is yours.

Good job.

:D.

BTW, I love the blue theme, even wifi, battery icons go to blue, in mdj CM7 this icons stay on green.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tyween:

Great Rom

just flashed this ROM. But it's really great. So far all is working as it suppose to be.

It's fast and smooth

Thanks!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] LordDeath:
Build 1.8 works great here. :)

I updated it this way:

1. Backup of my user data with Titanium Backup (just for the case that I can't restore the CWM backup into the new partition layout)

2. Backup build 1.7 over CWM.

3. Flash CWM 1.3 with the new 125MB configuration

4. restore my full 1.7 backup over CWM

5. check if it still works as before (of course already with + 25MB addition internal storage)

6. use CWM to update to build 1.8

7. wipe /cache with CWM (not sure if this was necessary)

Everything works finde and I have the extra 25mb space without losing all my previous settings. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pack21:
I don't know if I do the installation well.... tell me if I did.

What I do;

1 - format my 8GB SD

2 - make a SD 500 mb partition on SD with cwm advanced tools.

3 - Runs you DFT 125mb layout with maglr 1.3 installed

4 - copy your V1.8. Zip build to SD.

5 - Install the build from AD recovery

6 - backup my titanium apps and install GAPPs from market

now I have this storage configuration.

Have I done correctly?

Thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tyween:
looks fine to me
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cmarti:
This feature is sooo cool!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jaftim:
But found limitations:

- impossible to hide "Messaging" string on the sliding Tab.

- impossible to set custom app icon (droid icon only available)

So, i prefer to restore regular Messaging icon as it was before.

Also the old problem exist - rotary style lockscreen drawing is ugly in case lcd_dencity=200.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] lolmensch:
hi there,

shouldn't the internal memory be kept free and the sd card storage going down? there are 3 or 4 games which use up to 20mb but anyway there should not be the whole storage going down.

the storage notification is unimportant. i tried to install a 200mb+ game (rockband leaked from the thunderbolt)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pack21:
No...hard software like heavy games (20mb) must be storage in Phone memory to run well.,,not in SD.

What you can do, is play one or two each time....and dont have all heavy games on phone... move some to SD...and vice versa.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] lolmensch:
yeah i see that. but apart from those games which make 80mb, shouldn't the rest be on ext 4? so 220mb - 80mb = 140 right?

where are the other 100mb gone?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] LordDeath:
Only the files in /data/app and /data/app-private are stored on your A2SD partition. The other files in /data/ remain on the internal storage.

Afaik MDJ's A2SD implementation also moves /data/dalvik-cache onto the A2SD partition and some Desire HD builds with their huge amount of file-size have to store everything from /data/ onto the A2SD partition.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] IzaacJ:
Awesome rom. Just one problem for me... I get no service once in a while, with airplane mode on/off to get signal again... Anyone else with this issue?

Dont know if it could be something with the operator, but i dont think so... Usually have full signal at home.

Clean install, including task 29, flashing radio, msgldr 1.13 and recovery...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cmarti:
Tried, NFS Shift from both the memory card and the internal memory and it crashes.

Anyone knows of a cool game that I can use to test the graphics of both the phone and the ROM?

Don't forget to backup your SD before, you might loose your files.

-Windows

- http://www.partitionwizard.com/ (free software)

-A way to insert your micro-SD card into you pc (micro-SD to SD card adapter, most laptops have SD slots)

Uploaded v2.6.1: reverted to cm_bravo_14 base. 15 and 17 both contain the GPS problem that does not allow the GPS to work after switching it off and on. This fixes that issue. Changed to tytung r7 kernel.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] riaan0010:
thanx again tyween.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] CyberClaw:
Tytung R7 kernel has native EB right?

I'll test it now =)

From what I understand yes. I cannot test it as I don't have one though.

Why do u changed the kernel

only tytung kernel from now on?

can i still use rafpigna's 1, or it wont work?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
yes it will still work you just have to install it yourself
[HD2 Android NAND Development] WorldWide60:
Like an idiot, I accidentally formatted my SD card and lost about 12 gigs of stuff. Luckily about half of the stuff was backed up on my pc. My point is, my phone is running twice as smooth now since I've reformatted, and reorganized everything. It's been since Cotulla's DFT rom was released since it had been reformatted. Before now, I've always installed/updated by wiping data, clearing dalvic cache, and then installing. If it's been awhile since you've reformatted your sd card, then you may want to do so.

Also, Tmo has the HD2 Body Glove cases on sale for 6 bucks. The case that has the kick stand on the back.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] CyberClaw:
v 2.6.1, with extended battery working fine so far =)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tyween:
You can if you want. I just don't see the point. Tytung's has extended battery support, it does not overclock the CPU as much but when you test in linpack at 1.2ghz with tytung vs 1.5ghz with rafpigna or quadrant, you will see that they perform the same. Tytung also gives me better battery life.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] noellenchris:
tytung's v7 has all the same stuff basically as rafpigna's but also includes the wifi fixes and a few improvements. You can still use GL's or rafpignas though.
