Camera question (I think)

I switched from an HTC Incredible to the HD2 (wife now has the Inc) - both running the latest builds of CM7 for their respective platforms. I noticed that the colors on the HD2 were very washed out compared to the Inc, until I started playing with the camera on the HD2. I noticed that I could set the contrast and saturation up higher, and get the desired result in my photos, but otherwise the screen still appears "washed out".

Is there a utility or tweak somewhere that will allow me to change the color saturation and contrast globally? Will that be likely to impact the battery life?

I'm running 3.5.7.

It's called a black screen of death. Where only the backlight comes on. I had that this morning, battery pull fixed it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] daeshawn:
yea now I remember..a little annoying as i've had it 3 times already since flashingthe latest..it's all good
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tza1981:
Using K9 mail and i works well. It has anything I need on my phne.

But today my SD 8GB card was dying. After reboot the phone checks it for about 15min, then says everything is fine. But after some time it doesn´t work. So i have to buy a new one today. 16GB this time...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] soninja8:
No problem
[HD2 Android NAND Development] agentfazexx:
That's the most incorrect response I've ever read.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] soninja8:
I thought he was talking about the screen lock not unlocking, sorry minor confusion.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] l0rdsheva:
just installed latest version, i'm quite sure this is one of the best rom i've ever used. For me all work perfect. Great Job, thank you! i've still not tried app2sd
[HD2 Android NAND Development] noellenchris:
the gps is good here and compass is goot too. Seems strange, did u edit the gps.conf or did you use your old one?

Only gps issue is that new google maps is missing the multi touch 2 finger to turn the map. Can be fixed by adding the attached file to system/etc/permissions/.

Chris
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Petulinek:
Strange, i dont have problem in new maps with multitouch in v.1.4, it works good after upgrade...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] noellenchris:
multi touch to zoom and tilt work, but if you twist your fingers the map should rotate or turn. The 1.4 I'm using didn't have the distinct permission in the permissions folder.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Gho57:
I tried this rom and I must say it is perfect, the only thing I found is the low fps when scrolling app compared to iamgpc or xboarde56 roms.

I have installed ADW Launche Ex, Launcher Pro, and others...only Launcher Pro i think he has a better smooth scroll on this rom,not like the two I just mentioned but acceptable.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tyween:
Thanks Chris, I will look into this when I am off work!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MotoMudder77:
So has anyone had issues with ADW EX not restoring configurations, or MyBackupPro not working correctly? those are my main 2 issues with this build and they are big ones for me.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jornbjorn:
Yeah, most launchers are slow in gingerbread... known problem... try the stock gingerbread launcher from market
[HD2 Android NAND Development] HD2man:
GPS is not working.Tryed to change to "no" in gps.conf (Norway) but will not lock. Tryed also Navigon but could not open it?? No problem with Android 2.2
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Gho57:
try iamgpc or xboarder with adw EX, really smooth! I think is a sort of vsync problem, because this rom has ghost effects like old lcd.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ilker555:
Is the navigon fix(libmedia.so) from Gauner included in the ROM?

Navigon closes directly after start.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tyween:
no. provide a link and I will implement it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] clio94:
Your rom is very good but a2sd script,moves on sd-ext partition only apk and not dalvik-cache like mdj`s.please look into it.it saves a lot of space.

navigon fix

[HD2 Android NAND Development] robertolm:
is this framework usable on this ROM??

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10708568&postcount=11947

in this post attacment a zip with cwm zip to update the framework.

But i don't know if this works on this ROM.

For next version:

* lib for navigon

* patch for multitouch on maps

* % battery porcent.

I don't flash your ROM yet.... but looks great.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] desibhai786:
Installed the 1.3 version. So far so good but everything is so big for me... how can I change the dpi? But overall I am loving it. Little slow than froyo but not bad.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] [zozi]:
sorry my noob question, but how i can see if app2SD works?

i install a few apps and my internal memory decrease, i have 1Gb EXT3 partition created by CWM

@robertolm dosent work the % battery porcent
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jimbojack_uk:
I just came to the same conclusion. Is it possible that you implemented a2sd and not a2sd+ as I believe this causes only the apps to be placed on ext and the dalvik which is nearly as big as the apps to remain on nand.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] lolmensch:
great rom. glad you did implement a2sd+ =) found nothing to complain but time will tell :D :D

WiFi Calling

Chef,

can you please take a look at this WiFi Calling recovery update http://unforgivendevelopment.com/downloads/?did=9

It would be awesome if you could tweak it to work on your build. There is a bunch of people hoping to get this on their TMOUSA HD2.

Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tyween:
Thanks! Hey, I was in Jacksonville last weekend for my vacation, the weather was very nice! You are lucky to live in such a nice area. If you don't mind me asking where in Jacksonville do you stay? My girlfriend lives in five points (which is who I was visiting). It was strange being sunburned from the beach and then 4 hours later returning home to snow(in DC).. hahaha.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
no you do it the same way as flashing the standard version

Clean Install:

1. Task 29

2. Flash Radio(2.15 Recommended)

3. MAGLDR 1.13

4. ClockworkMod Recovery v1.3 125M System/44M Cache

5. Install TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 .zip with CWM

6. (Optional) Install a flavor of A2SD+, Extended Battery kernel, any optional .zip files
[HD2 Android NAND Development] drummr8:
Is it possible that the radio version could cause it to have higher battery drain? I am on 2.12.50.02 and getting great battery life and good signal. (I live in Orlando, FL if that matters)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] soneracar:
I live in San Marco which is right across the river. How awesome is that you were just here! Riverside is very cool and hip. That is where our publix (grocery store) is and Riverside has a huge arts market on the weekends. Next time you're in town let me know and my girlfriend and I will treat you two to lunch.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tyween:
Haha yea.. it is nice, in fact we do go to the arts market on weekends (when I used to live there).. I stayed there during the summer as I had a job there. I used to walk to that Publix all the time, and I really like the grassroots market because of their great beer selection. Sounds like a plan and I'll try to remember it the next time I'm in town :D. The park there by the river is really nice as well, we drank some margaritas there on president's day.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mdscarrott:
Hey Tyween

Cheers for the latest update. I'm having problems with the Wifi tethering though. Both the stock tethering and the Wifi Tethering app now dont work. My laptop sees the network, connects but has no internet connectivity or fails to connect.

Very odd. I use it a lot as i work away often so have had to go back to 2.4 where the wifi thethering app from the market works fine. I can live without the stock tether so this is fine for me.

Cheers for all the updates and all your hard work.

Keep it up my friend.:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tyween:
I'll look into this. This is odd because the stock tethering works fine for me. Can you get me a logcat when you try to use it? The logs might help us figure out what the problem is.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tyween:
What do you mean by the keyboard has changed? It is the gingerbread keyboard. The messaging app can be changed to black via an option, it comes default white.. and yes.. icons when adding things to a home screen are in color. What ROM were you using before? This has no framework tweaks applied to it and is totally stock CyanogenMod.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Unconn:
Supposedly yes, but I have never seen a huge difference between the radio versions. Since going from SD to NAND I have almost always had 2-5ma in standby. Even running on SD I was about to get 5-7ma. That the was the biggest change in battery usage, going to NAND. Never saw any difference with different radios, but maybe different areas, different cell sites... who knows.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] s0mep00p:
I'm just curious about the SuperRam version; are there any disadvantages or cons to actually having the system stored in the ram? Like would that cause any hardware issues or eventually "wear" down the ram over time? I have no idea how it works :P
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mdscarrott:
I've already moved back to 2.4 sorry. When the next update is released i will upgrade and if i have the same problem i will post a log.

Thanks for the reply.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] CyberClaw:
2.4.1 keeps rebooting after I let it lock. I have MDJ's A2SD, and arne182 4.0 extended battery (Rafpigna_v4.0RAM.rar).

Is it because you switched to tytung kernel? There is only eb for Rafpigna and MDJ kernels there...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tyween:
It is because with the tytung r6 kernel it uses a different /system/bin/wpa_supplicant binary that is incompatible with any other kernel. You can take the wpa_supplicant binary from 2.4 or any earlier build and you won't have this problem. Or you can take the easy way, and just use v2.4 with whatever kernel you want, as it is identical to v2.4.1 besides tytung r6 kernel/wpa_supplicant. I am going to post kernel update .zip's that include the /system/bin/wpa_supplicant sometime within the next day or 2, but until then you are free to choose your way to switch kernels. Keep in mind that using any kernel besides tytung r6 will make native tethering and wifi eap stop working as his kernel is the only one that works with those features currently.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] CyberClaw:
Thanks =)

Your rom rocks, I still have like 7 or 8 versions in my SD card ready to install =D

[HD2 Android NAND Development] djpharoah:
Been using this ROM for a few days (2.4) and noticed some peculiarties in terms of standby battery consumption. Sometimes it drops to 7mA which is great but most of the time it's at 70mA or higher. I fell asleep with it last night at 70% and woke up with it at 5% - this with airplane mode, no wifi, no sync nothing.

Any ideas - I've tried to search this thread for solutions and seeing as how the 100% cpu bug is fixed in this version 2.4 - don't know what else it could be.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
there has to be something running or connecting

mine last night to this morning had between 1ma and 8ma in standby with wifi

on ..i forgot to shut it off last night

i just looked at mine and from 430 pm today to now its between 1ma and went to as high as 34ma but then immediatly dropped back down
[HD2 Android NAND Development] djpharoah:
I guess a logcat is the only way of finding out right?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tyween:
that or you could install something like system panel, that may help.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] whopper_g:
Yeah, thanks for that but i have to use activesync - because of my exchange server...

I Just found one client - an that is not compatible with exchange 2010...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] walts:
Thanks, that was the key. Neither Total Commander nor the file explorer baked into the ROM can access external servers, AFAIK, but Es File Explorer does - with both Bluetooth and WIFI!

Walt :D

Bumping for justice...

Anyone?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] aisebastian:
not really, I don't have poweramp :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Unconn:
Honestly it depends on many things, but I will assume you have a default flash (no overclocking etc.). Mainly it depends on how long your screen has been off. It will take a while to ramp down the processes and slow the CPU to an idle/sleep speed. If you shut off your screen and turn it straight back on you will probably see 200ma or more. If you leave your phone for more than 10 minutes you should start to see entries between 2ma and 10ma. It will jump up once in a while depending on what is happening (downloading e-mail) but it should go back under 10ma or you have something configured wrong or an app keeping the phone in a wake lock.

I had crazy battery usage over the last month. I had done loads of troubleshooting including many things that have been suggested in this thread. I discovered that my SetCPU profiles were never allowing my CPU to drop down into the sleep/standby range (below 384 I think, I know 245 will allow low power standby). My profiles were mistakenly set to keep the screen off CPU speed between 998 and 576. This is not good. My phone looks like it will last days now (if I could stop touching it).

I used Battery Diviner and it does a greate job of charting past usage and guessing future usage based on history. It is clear that this change has helped and I will post a screenshot once I get a better chart.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dkl_uk:
Pretty much as i'd have expected then, nothing new in your info so i'm now having to consider leaving Typhoon behind and going with the standard nightlies. I have just removed the ril stuff from the bottom of the build.prop so i'm going to give that some time to settle. I noticed my phone was hitting the network a lot, turning data off stopped the 'dit dit dit' in my nearby speaker so something clearly wants to talk to something.

Edit: At time of writing i've lost 3% in under 10 minutes and i've not even used the phone. Also the currentwidget value is constantly above 145mA
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Unconn:
I challenge you. Do not touch your phone for 30 minutes then check your log.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dkl_uk:
Already been done. I've got 4 days of logs right now, although understanding the chart is difficult when you don't know what the data actually means. In particular, it goes into minus figures. I think it might have something with being plugged in. The irregular spikes almost remind me of a heart blip on one of those monitors.

I actually just checked the phone again and i'm at 94%, the drain has clearly slowed down and i've got literally every radio and the sync option turned on. I would put it down to the ril info in my build.prop. That might also explain the ****e network i've been having since these tweaks have been implemented.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Martin_Toy:
^ This is not possible, surely ;-)

I'm forever fiddling with the bloody thing. Its so hard not to xD
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Unconn:
I do not think the chart is very useful at all. The blips make the standby levels unread able. Much better just to look at the log and if during your standby 30 minutes you see more entries under 20ms than you do over, then you are doing fine. Let me attach a clip from my log.

2011/08/15 11:09:54,-416mA,65%,3.882V
2011/08/15 11:15:08,-12mA,64%,3.886V

2011/08/15 12:16:09,-275mA,59%,3.808V
2011/08/15 12:21:09,-22mA,59%,3.855V

removing and changing things like ril tweaks requires rebooting, you probably know this. And rebooting takes about 5-10 minutes before the phone settles down.

How true. I am not sure it is possible.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dkl_uk:
Yes, reboot then dismay at the first few minutes, around 145mA. Then I checked again at the 94% mark and things were looking like they used to before Devs started adding entries to the build.prop file that seem to do harm to many users.

It would be worth for things like this if a list could be compiled of network operators who do and don't support these tweaks. I've seen posts before about people doing what i've just done. I'm pretty sure many Devs are from the USA and over here in the UK we just don't have the same technologies.

Phone Reception and Death Grip

I was visiting family away in Ontario Canada. I dropped my phone. 4 foot fall...luckily it landed on it's long EDGE side and finally on it's back...so no screen damage....whewww. Days later I noticed in some cities, using Rogers network, I was getting flaky data/voice reception. Using the death grip holding the phone firmly at the bottom where the antenna resides, I could see the bars drop and eventually go from H-3g-G-E to NILL. I could consistently reproduce the problem. I was able to make other smart phones drop 2 bars but nothing more than that. Even my wife's phone did not exhibit this extreme reception problem though she is on Telus.

Anyway, as per a post floating around re fixing internal antenna connections...I popped my HD2 open, almost wrecked it in the process, and I bent the connects up so as to make better contact....one of them was definitely bent. IT DIDN'T fix the issue. :mad: A few days later, I went downtown Toronto...with ROCK SOLID reception and super fast speeds. Hmmmm?

My workaround in areas of bad reception was to hold the HD2 upside down so as to NOT cradle the area that houses the antenna for data/voice. Back home in Vancouver now with no death grip issue....other than a wee bit like all smart phones have.

Hi,

Do you know how to install applications in ext4 partition automatically ?

Is this ROM data2ext compatible (i have a 1 GB ext4 partition, and i can see

60 MB free space only !)

Thank you.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] reltihmd:
Hi Chaps, I'm considering switching builds to this one, I'm currently on the old M-DeeJay Rom for those of you with long memories, and for the most part it's been very stable. Unfortunately just recently I've been having issues and have decided to have a fresh wipe.

Reading through the last 60 pages or so, it seems like the ROM has become somewhat unstable with the latest versions, with data dropping out, batteries being drained etc

I've experienced no real issues like this with my current Rom (none that I can't solve), are these real problems at the minute that I should wait to see fixed, or is it a case of user error and I'm fine to go for it?

I've never used cLK, so haven't flashed nightlies, I prefer to find a Rom that works and stick with it rather than screw up my phone :)

Also - just how improved are current roms over ones that were cooked up around christmas time?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] themadproducer:
If your SDcard has a fat32 partition followed by an ext4, then apps-to-ext4 is automatic. The EXT4 partition is a virtual extension of your internal memory but the OS/rom will not properly indicated your available and/or used memory when using EXT4. (apps like Titanium backup will correctly show it) Some apps (rarely) may get installed to the fat32 partition in the folder named Android Secure. You can manually tell apps to go from either location under Application Management. This topic has been talked about greatly in this forum...search if you need greater details.;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] themadproducer:
Cooked up some graphic tweaks for 3.5.7

Here is a zip file to be easily flashed via CWM.

(tested and works for me but be sure to FIRST DO A BACKUP before you use this)

*** READ FIRST***

Use Root Explorer to look at your "SYSTEM" directory before installing this mod. If you do not have at least 4mbs UNUSED space, then your phone will NOT BOOT past the white android splash screen. What I did is navigated to "system>app" and deleted "CMwallpaper.apk" thus freeing up 5mbs+. I don't use the wallpaper files. You could delete ringtones or other unused apks so long as you HAVE or FREE UP 4 mbs or more as the mod needs this extra room to install it's files.

Customization breakdown...

- Circle battery segmented green-blue-yellow-red with percentage and blinking while charging (must have battery percentage UNCHECKED in CyanogenMad Settings/interface/statusbar tweaks)

- ICONS bluetooth icons, big Sat Icon, Purple Airplane mode and a bunch of others.

- 3d Sense Notification bar, black header behind power widgets, off white carrier name, dark transparent curtain, white notifications boxes with black text, 3d Sense footer bar.

- ***IMPORTANT...the boot animation just before your home screen is changed to Android Particles (in green) with this zip file.

- Overscroll GLOW still exists in non-UI elements even when disabled (eg browser) so I replaced the pngs with blanks...INVISIBLE!

- USB CONNECTED: you know when you plug your HD2 via USB to your PC? I reversed the green and amber androids and added text...so now AMBER=OFF and GREEN=ON. Seems more intuitive to me!

- Power Widgets in notification bar have an indicator below them that I always found hard to see. Now with black background, and with a custom user png, when you choose a custom color for the indicator (settings>cm7 settings>Interface>Notification PW> Indicator color) you will notice it is not so washed out and has a better contrast.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Salvatore2008:
This is my configuration : one fat32 partition followed by an ext4 partition (1 GB). The data2ext feature works correctly with rafdroid ROM, but it seems not working with Typhoon ROM because there is not enough free space to install some programs. I followed exactly the installation procedure (fresh install on first page).

Maybe an ext3 partition will work better ?

thanks for your help.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] themadproducer:
Salvatore,

Just to let you know...ext4 works perfect with this rom and has been working for me for many months and through many updates and upgrades. There must be something wrong with your specific setup somewhere. Remember what I said too....the space available on the Ext4 partition will not be indicated by the rom. I use Root Explorer 2.15, and navigate to sd-ext folder. It clearly shows 398mb used....468mb free plus all the apps are in there in their respective subfolders etc. Like you...I also have a 1gb Ext4 2nd partition. Try another SDcard freshly formatted with a a fresh rom install. (either Task29 or reinstall a Winmo rom then reformat with Magldr to get a clean start) Perhaps the app used to format your SDcard has left a flaw of sorts that is interferring. It's happened to me before.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bobjbain:
If you're getting the "insufficient space to install program" error it may be that your cache partition isn't big enough or is full up.

Would suggest dropping into CMW and "clearing the cache" then try to install again.
