If you can't get past the HTC logo, it indicates a problem with the SD card. I am sure you are aware that it can take 10mins or more if you are building a new data.img

If it has shutdown on it's own, this is normal and a good sign that everything is working OK. Just restart and run using bootloader or clrcad/haret and all should be well.

If you are still having problems, then it is a good idea to run a dskchck on the FAT partition of your SD card or back it up and format it so you know it's clean.

Good Luck!
[HD2 Android SD Development] briteway:
Yep, thanks mate. I was aware of those situations. I used to wait even 30 minutes with other builds that never ended up working.

I'm just going through this one and checking. So far so good.

I've noticed 1 thing though, the lock screen is shrunk and I can still see the wallpaper in the background arount the frame of the lockscreen. Is this normal? If not, how do I fix it so it's over the whole screen?

Also, Is there a way to remove the writing on start up "American Android" and the flags of USA and Canada? I'd prefer Australian Android with an Aussie flag though :D

EDIT: I did the second reboot and the lock screen doubled in size. Does that mean I gotta restart until I get a full sized lock screen? :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
You will get a full size lockscreen if you use the 240 build.prop (see post #1 and FAQ). Other screen densities cause problems with the standard lockscreen (CM7 bug). You can always change the lockscreen.

I doubt you'd be too popular with Cope and Warren, if you replaced their flags with your own :D

It is evo1rs who designed the anim. I'm sure he'd be pleased to give you some pointers if you wanted to do one of your own :)

LCD Density set at 200

BTW, I used LCD Density from the market and gave 200 a try; screen lock is fine; I can now fit more icons and widgets too (I use GO Launcher EX).

I like it :-)

Thanks Cope & Warren for the great work done on this ROM.

I started out fresh this morning with a fresh install of 4 28 and ended with the same result. No GPS. Before it worked on the first boot but not at all this time. Can't say how the rest was because I switched back again to 4 27

Incredible!!

I've been using AmeriCanAndroid builds for more than 2 months.

Even with the data drop issue, i was completely satisfied with my new HD2. I installed the last version (270411) and I still had the data drop. Then I installed the new file "libhtc_ril_wrapper.so" proposed in a recent post. And tada, it's magic, NO MORE DATA DROPS!!

So far, my data issue occured when I moved from a 2G (or 3G) to a 3G (or 2G) area. I tried this morning my new build+file and my data connection stays green and works!

My last test will be on Monday at work because it's in a place just between 2G and 3G network and I always have data drops.

Thanks a lot again for your impressive work.

PS: how can I donate?
[HD2 Android SD Development] rebecker:
Hmmm...EX is not an improvement for me. With 7 empty screens, very smooth. But as I populate the screens, the transitions get less smooth. Once all 7 screens are as I like them, it's a pretty jerky transition from screen to screen. Certainly usable, just not as smooth as I'd like it to be. Here are the apps on each screen:

1. Elixir (5x1), Elixir (5x1), iSyncr (4x2)

2. 16 shortcuts, no widgets

3. Elixir (5x1), GTasks (4x2), Ministocks (2x1), NewsRob (1x1 widget), 1 shortcut

4. Simple Calendar (4x1), Analog Clock (2x2), Palmery Weather (2 widgets, 1x1), Enhanced Email (1x1), Elixir (5x1)

5. Photo Contacts Widget (2 widgets, 2x4)

6. Photo Contacts Widget (4x4)

7. Photo Contacts Widget (4x4)

Any opinion on these widgets; any suggestions on smoothing the transitions?

Thanks.

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 ...

SOLUTION

Using old data.img or restoring with TB didn't work .... individually.

So I decided to try this:

1. Install the build from scratch (reformatting and repartitioning SD)

2. Restore with TB: batch, all apps and system data (untick all the red ones)

3. Replace data.img with the backuped one from the old build

VOI-LA :D

[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Almost, you didn't mention copying back the old data.img :-)

Anyhow, thanks a lot
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Well, I didn't because it is rather useless.

When you copy back the old data.img, you replace the new one and with it all the apps, you restored in step 2.

If I remember correctly, you already tried formating your sd card and you still had fc's afterwards. When you formatted then, did you format the whole card with all partitions, recreating the partitions after the format, or did you only erase the FAT partition?

The reason I am asking this is, that if you only erased the FAT partition but not the sd-ext one, the sd-ext backup function might have caused the fc's during your first try.

If there was a bug in the backup, the backup function would restore this bug to your new build.

I just want to clear this up, so you can save some time, if this ever happens to you again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
I only formatted FAT32 partition first and then got FC

but when I repartitioned and reformatted my SD and restored the greens using TB I still was getting FCs :eek:

but after coping back the old data.img I got everything sorted

I know it is somewhat against logic but it did work. So go figure :confused:

Once again, thanks a lot for your help.

Titanium Backup, 240 (or other) LCD Density, Launcher

Hi all -

TB

A few posts back, someone mentioned that the free version of Titanium Backup did not include batch processing, but that's not accurate, it does (including multiple options of how you want to back up and restore). I recommend it - I usually do not backup system stuff, relying on the build to handle that stuff.

LCD Density

I have mentioned, as have others that we've had trouble in changing the lcd density using the info in the FAQ - even some of the posts along the way. I read Cope's latest missive on this, and the penny (finally) dropped. All along, I thought that you changed the file and then moved or copied it. However, it works if you do the following...at least using ES File Explorer, and this just involves editing and saving the file in place.

1 - Open ES File Explorer (ESFE). For your changes to the file to be saved, ESFE must be granted superuser rights (root rights). In ESFE, press the center button, select settings, root options. Press Root explorer, go through the warning screen, and select the Cyanogen Mod radio button. Select "mount the file system" so your edits will be saved.

2 - Click on the Home icon (Left most button on the top). navigate to the System folder. Scroll down and the build.prop file is there. Press the file, and chose an editor (I used ES Note Editor successfully). Scroll down quite a ways, to ro.sf.lcd_density=167. Change that number to what you want it to be. Press the center button and save the file.

3 - Cope says to remove a file with a .bak extension (but I did not see this file and it restarted with no ill effects). Restart your phone. When it restarts - the new lcd density should be in effect and stay this way until you change builds. This solves the problem of using the Market LCD Density for Root which is great, but reverts every time you restart your phone.

Launcher

Another plug for Zeam Launcher. I've really liked it. You can select how many screens (I think from 1-7) and it wraps around, which I really like.

[HD2 Android SD Development] t-mizzle:
Sometimes more personal info is required than the current app versions require but updated apps may. Not saying all of them are legit. Also devs select more data options than needed in fear of breaking app's functionality.

Another alternative is fancy widgets, works pretty well and may not collect as much sensitive info.

You can find other alternatives in the market as well.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Have you ever checked if you have that problem right after installation(new data.img), before you install any additional apps or do a recovery?

[HD2 Android SD Development] biosensorben:
Just thought I'd update, incase it is helpful to someone....

I'm was using the worldwide feb 16th version, and tried to update to this Feb21 version early this morning. After a couple of replies from Cope, although I couldn't find anything in /sd-ext/app I thought I'd give it a go anyway with the simple upgrade procedure. Unfortunately my programs had disappeared, so it was the long route - format etc, fresh install.

From another reply (can't find the post now - sorry) it seems the worldwide version of Feb16 didn't do things properly with /sd-ext/app, so to upgrade to Feb21 if you have a partitioned card means a complete fresh install.

Other than this, the battery life seems quite a lot better and it is running really fast now. Well done and keep up the good work - don't worry, we easily forgive the odd slip up such as gps when you keep giving us such good builds!:)

Partitioned SD card

Ok I decided that with the latest build I would partition my SD card as per the FAQ instructions and see how I got on. I partitioned as per instructions (primary fat 32, primary ext3 and primary linux swap) and all went well.

I then loaded the new android folder onto the primary fat32 partition and inserted into my phone to boot and create a new data image.

Unfortunately it has only got as far as the cyanogen logo and justs keeps looping.

I am sure something has been mentioned about this before but for the life of me i cannot find out where :-(

Please can anyone point me in the right direction or do I have to just keep persevering with the non partitioned SD root.

Love this build, keep up the good work

I'm upgrading to the 4/28 build, and I decided to do everything "new". I formatted the SD card, installed the build, and everything worked wonderfully (Thank you, Warren and Cope!)! I do have a question/problem -- I guess I'm doing this wrong for this build so maybe someone can tell me what it is? I have some folders of pictures, videos, and music that I have used on other builds. After I got those other builds up and running, I simply copied all the music, picture and video folders into the root of SD card, and all was good -- I was able see/hear the music, pictures, etc. For THIS build, however, if I add all the (above mentioned) folders at the same time (like I have done for the other builds) it bogs down, basically freezes, and its reboot time. Only way to get a working phone again is to delete the folders from the root of the SD card, and add them one at a time -- boot the build, let it be up and running for a bit, and then shut down, add another folder, and reboot the build. Is there a reason why this bogs down and doesn't scan the folders at one time? A setting I'm missing? Or is that just too much data for the media scanners to process at one time? What is the best method? Does it matter what the individual folders are named? Music? etc? Thanks so much for info so I can learn what I'm doing wrong. As I said, it DOES work if I do it one by one, but since the others worked "all at one time", I'm thinking its a setting or something simple? Anyone care to comment?

Thank you guys again for a great build, and also the great XDA community. Take care,

New RIL Wrapper

Bit of feedback on the replacement RIL wrapper. For the last few versions I've been on (0425, 0427 and 0428) I've had a pretty constant battery drain of 60mA even when it's doing nothing and things like gps, wifi and bt are turned off. Before that I always used to get 6-8 mA idle drain.

Today I installed the new RIL wrapper. Idle battery drain has gone straight back down to the 6 mA level. I'm really happy with that, but I'm a little confused because I thought from the changelog that the 28th burger build had that new wrapper. All I did after the 28th build (OK with old data.img, but that's worked well for a long time) which had the high drain, was change the wrapper lib file and the drain disappeared. Weird?

Bearing in mind that you have to reboot to change the LCD Density, surely the easiest method is to follow the instructions in post #1

You can edit the build.prop file and change 240 to whatever you require. As long as you follow this procedure with every update, it will save unnecessary reboots.

I use 240 and this method has never failed me.

Again, the answers are in the first post and the FAQ. It is your data.img which contains all your apps and settings.

All you need to do is copy everything from the update into your Android folder and overwrite all the files. There is no data.img in the update, so your existing data.img will be unchaged.

Copy the 240 build.prop if you require it and edit the startup.txt to your GPS region.
