ril wrapper feedback pt. 2

after running the new ril wrapper for one day now I must say I had the best experience data related so far!

Although the reconnects take slightly longer once data drops, which does happen form time to time, they also appear to be more thorough. After a reconnect attempt the connection is really back up. I didn't have to toggle data or airplane mode once and 19 out of 20 times when I wake up my phone the connection is green, amazing!

Really great work WarCope or CopeWar (both kinda cool :D )!!

Again, I am on APR27 build with the new wrapper and my APNs dns settings in the build.prop.

BTW, I am not sure if I got this right, but the BT AVRCP issue only applies to stereo headsets, right?

Got a bit confused as someone posted that he could not use his headset? I can report that my Jabra headset works flawless, I can pick up the call and change volume (dont have any other buttons), could do that since day 1 on ACA, just FYI.
[HD2 Android SD Development] gillgrylls:
Don't know why but after installing the 4/28 build with a new data image the data drops even more now. Now it drops every 20 seconds or so constantly. Might have to go back to 27 build
[HD2 Android SD Development] boomboomer:
I installed this build on a 2gb card to test, everything was fine and very fast, but when I installed it on my 16gb card (with lots of music, photos, winmo files etc) the speed slowed to a crawl and was unusable. The 16gb card is class 4 kingston, the 2gb a class 2 unbranded, is it the other files slowing the build? Even if I formatted the card to remove any fragmentation the next time I update the image would again be fragmented?

Otherwise I'm using darkstones superram build on the same 16gb card, which is still very fast.

Any suggestions please?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I don't think fragmentation is an issue. How much space is available on the 16GB card?

It is worth running chkdisk on the card to see if the FAT partition is error free. Another thing to look at would be the cluster size, but even a small cluster size should not slow things down to the degree you state.

The last thing would be to back up the card and format it. See how things go with just the Android folder, before copying the other files back.
[HD2 Android SD Development] prashanthm:
AVRCP should only be related to control of media (audio and video) using the buttons on the bluetooth headset. Phone Audio should work fine even without AVRCP being implemented.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Tokl:
Android has an Media scanner, this is slowing down the device when you have a lot of photos or something else on SDcard.

To solve this i did following:

Put an empty file named ".nomedia" to every folder you dont want to have automatically scanned (only to the main folder, subfolders are not necessarily).

Give it a try and let us know if it works!

Did not work for me.

I had to enter MMS-proxy and MMS-port for my apn to get it to work

I also get alot of data drops with almost instant reconnection, resulting in a heavier battery drain..

phewww, *wipes brow*

after being away for a few days i have just read the last 20 pages of posts or so hahaa, and im torn between going on the 2704 build or the 2804; guess ill just have to try both :D

Just a couple of points with your 28-04 build. GPS isn't working, when i open the app 'MY TRACKS' it tells me that no GPS location provider was found on this device. And my other point is when i power off my device then power back on and load up Android, the wifi connects to my router but it doesn't connect to the web. I turn wifi off then back on again and then it works. Still love ya build but i think i''m goin back to 27-04 with the data fix.

Looking for some help to get this ROM booting. I am running MAGLDR 1.13, with HyperDroid CM7 installed to nand, and would like to try this out. I have extracted and copied the folder over to my SD card, and copied the 2 files from the magldr directory (re-naming rootfs.img as needed).

When I try and boot the handset just hangs at the initial splash screen, it hangs before I can get anything from adb. I dont know if I have missed something in the instructions but I would be glad of any help to get this booting.

if your router doesnt connect to the the web... its not our fault

the 27 didnt have a data fix in it... the release was followed shortly after by a addon test ril wrapper v8b4.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Deceased:
@cope

Is it possible that GPS problem only occurs when you use a new data.img?

Missing file or some other which doesnt happen if you keep your old data.img.

Gone back to 23rd build (new data.img) and GPS works fine.

will keep data.img and try 28th again.

Tried the LED density app to change the resolution, but I wondered if its possible to have more rows of icons.

It's nothing to do with my router, I ain't that daft. I was just explaining in English and thoroughly to help solve issues. No offence taken though lol. I had done a fresh install of 28-4 as I do with all of your builds, I think then the issues r brought to the surface. Prob why some say things work n some say they don't. We're all here to help u accomplish the best build ever, and believe me, your not far from it. In my opinion other builds don't come close. Many thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] robdee102:
I'm using build 27-4, fresh install with a new data image with the Test ril wrapper thingy addon, and things seem good, GPS works fine and data is good although I've been around the same area so probably haven't changed signal masts at all. Very happy.

Same here... GPS not working and I'm not convinced 4/28 data any better than 4/27 since I didn't have any data issues with 4/27 and did have hang up after reboot reconnecting to WiFi on 4/28. Only happened once so far and Reconnect Connections fixed it.

had the same issue (as well as random reboots btw...), all gone since I bought a new SD card. It doesent matter which class or size, just make sure its a quality brand (like SanDisk or similar). With my card I can turn the screen off and instantly on again, never had any wake issues again.

BTW, I am on APR28 and GPS working fine here, just came back home and had iGo running. Also data is simply amazing, not one toggle so far, reconnection is brilliant now!

Thanks a lot. Will try it .....

29.04.2011

I tried formatting my SD and doing clean install of 27.04 build. It worked OK till I replaced data.img with the backed up one from the build I was using before (10.04). And FCs - android.process.acore and androidkeyboard were back so ...

I tried to format SD again, clean install and restore with Titanium Backup .... same problems again

I went back to 10.04 and voi-la no probs

Now the question to the ACA savvies:

Can the reason be a change in kernel and thus I have to install a new build from scratch (including my apps)?
[HD2 Android SD Development] asmd6230:
I bear good news folks.

currently running 4/27 with the new cedesmith ril wrapper.

- data drops are still ever present but it reconnects very fast. (this is simply awesome!!)

- when the phone has "no service", it too reconnects almost immediately.

- GPS is working with very quick lock times.

i havent had to reset connection even once in the last 24hrs!!!!!!

[HD2 Android SD Development] cu2cool:
Maybe your ROM files are corrupt? Try downloading from a different host? Remember to rename the original startup.txt and rootfs.img to .bak, or delete them. If you are saying you can't even get into the magldr main menu screen (by holding the power button when turning phone on) then you have a flash problem.
[HD2 Android SD Development] chemass:
firstly, don't forget it'll take about 10mins on first boot to make the data.img and set itself up.

is your sd card partitioned? if so that may cause issues. let us know.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
I hope I am not right. Installing 200+ apps can take me some time.

For now, I am back to 10.04 build :-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Even with a kernel change a restore with Titanium is possible.

You have to be careful what you restore, though.

You use the batch backup option in Titanium?

All apps + data?

Go through the list. Untick all entries that are red.

Worked for me everytime.

The red ones are system apps. If one of them causes the problem, you overwrite the new and good ones of your new build.

Screen Transition

I keep coming back to this build about every couple weeks. There is so much about it that I like. However, there is one nagging issue that frustrates me, although somewhat minor, I will admit. Sliding from screen to screen is very abrupt; not smooth and not very consistent in its speed. I've turned off the horizontal view (not important to me) hoping it would free some memory to enhance the screen transitions. I've also stopped using an animated wallpaper for the same reason. I haven't seen any improvement. Any suggestions; settings, apps to avoid, apps to add, would ADWLauncher EX help???? :confused:

Thanks.

-Bob-
[HD2 Android SD Development] UbuntuBhoy:
Thanx for the reply, first at which point during the boot is the data.img made, as I hang in the initial splash screen. My sd card is partitioned like this :-

Fat 32

ext4

linux-swap

in that order.

Assuming that the data.img is created during first splash, would a blank data.img from the MIUI ROM built on top of this work?

As an update, I copied the MIUI data.img, and now I can boot.

thanx for the help, sure I will be back to ask more later :D

[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Or include a script to switch from one to another with a restart. that would be cool. They could extend to that to other uses as well.

I'm also starting to think that the data issues are more region dependent and would need different implementations of certain pieces like the nil_wrapper depending on user region.

These are just my musings, thinking out loud and such...

have you also tried going into Messaging settings and checknig your User Agent settings? Being that i am on TMOUS I never have any issues sending data with the APN settings built into the ROM. The only issue I have had was changing the User Agent to address the small attachment/images I recieved through MMS. Sending has never been a problem with a new flash.

Just a thought, that is if your MMS settings are already set. I once ran through a moment where my phone did not send a MMS but it was because data dropped and when it restored the MMS sent.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Yes, I am using TB and yes I run batch and yes I know not to overwrite new system files.

I thought it was fragmentation and no, it wasn't

As I decided to update to the latest build no matter what (even if I have to reinstall all the app from scratch) I decided to reformat (using Panasonic SD Formatter 3.0) and repartition (using MiniTool Partition Wizard) my SD, install the latest build from scratch and try TB restore one last time.

I will post the results

4/28 build

I ran the new build and rebooted 5 different times. Data still was unstable. Even more so when I ran this build. What I experienced was constant data drop outs about every 20 - 40 seconds. Many times not recovering data service or phone service. When I did have a connection download speeds were much improved! I downloaded 20mb files in seconds.

So because the 4/27 build was more stable for me with data and everything else I just went back to it with no issues. Since copying my Android folder back to 4/27 ive only had about 2 data drops but service recovers quickly this even without the Restart Connections app.

I can say where I live in Malibu CA my 3G service is spotty and in my home my phone switches between E and 3G constantly So i just run it in 2G until I need 3G for any real purpose.

Everything else is running great. No issues with the camera or video recorder. The 167 density is fine with me. at first I could not imagine going from 240 to anything smaller but I cant even imagine now going back to 240!

Thanx all for the hard work and time put into this SD ROM. Since switching to this build it has become my 100% daily use ROM. Never even use WinMo anymore.

Thanx!!!

You could also try copying fix_permissions.sh onto your sdcard, then running it after the restore - it may help.

can't get vpn working

I am in China and can't even set up my account on the phone without a vpn, let alone use the market or anything else. I use astrill and set it up as L2TP/IPSec PSK VPN as per instructions from the company. It works fine on my Desire so I know the settings are correct but on my wife's HD2 that I just installed this ROM on, it won't connect, making it pretty much useless.

Can someone please help with my issue?

I've searched the thread and read countless posts and couldn't find anyone having the same issue.

I've been using the Cyanogen Gingerbread from the time it first was released onto XDA and all updated builds worked until they got moved to AmeriCan android thread (this thread). From then on I couldn't get any build running. I've downloaded new updated releases 3 times now and none of them would work, when booted with haret, can't get past the green htc logo screen. This latest rom completely shut down after 9 minutes.

I always have to revert back to the older CM7 builds, I love 'em so much and I wish I could upgrade. The older build always gives an echo to the person on the other side.

I've also re-flashed my WM6.5 rom many times but still nothing. I'm running Dutty's V18 COM2 rom with 2.15 radio, HSPL3.

Can someone please help me in getting this best build to work with a step-by-step instruction.

I want to leave this one running off the SD card with WM6.5 just for the sake of having an HD2 with dual boot OS's.

I have another HD2 which is running the CM7 Cyanogen off NAND and am very happy with that. I just hope I can get these newer builds fired up rather than still running the old versions.

Thank you.

EDIT: This latest build fired up :D Very happy here! I'll see how it goes with the echoing issue on the other end. Hopefully all works out good as I really love this build.
