Yes, guys, I did that. I even noticed the size and timestamp of both files (rootfs.img and startup.txt) were the same between the ones in \Android and the ones in \Android\SDMAGLDR, but I still went ahead and followed the instructions and replaced the ones in \Android by the ones in \Android\SDMAGLDR (and, obviously, renamed rootfs.img.sdmagldr as rootfs.img, replacing the original one).

I just re-erased the Android folder and extracted it from the 7z file, specified the AD folder in MAGLDR (\Android), ran "adb logcat" and booted AmeriCanAndroid. I see the Android with the U.S. and Canadian flags right now (I saw all that before) and the log is going. I will post it as soon as it's done (most likely, as soon as my boot sequence gets stuck again).

Thank you!

UPDATE: Still going. Damn, that's a lot of crap! LOL Will I have to check that log for private info or can I safely copy & paste all of it here? :\

UPDATE 2: WHAT? HUH? It booted! I did NOTHING different this time other than enable the log. Nothing! Delete Android folder, unzip Android folder from 7z, copy to SD, delete original rootfs.img, copy new rootfs.img and startup.txt to root, power down, boot into MAGLDR, select Android as my SD AD folder, boot AD. Third time doing exactly the same thing and now, it worked. Hmmm... OK, guys, thanks a lot for the help!
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Not our fault ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Tubgirl:
Nice... thanks for the info! Sure makes the next upgrade easier :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheSkepticalGuy:
i did but they crashed and don't even start, they were working before.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sly5789:
I must say that this new build 04/02 is the best one so far. Everything that is important to me is working great. The biggest improvement is the GPS locking on right away. Wi-Fi has always worked and data is very good, so far for the past 3 days I have not had a drop yet. I'm very impress with this build, great job! All the other little problems like lock screen doesn't bother me.

Thank you again for all your hard work in making this a better build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
It was probably all that air your were breathing ;)... But glad you got it to work!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Razor1973:
Oh, it totally is! You did something to my adb!

Guilty! As! Hell!

I dont want to flame or anything, but if that has to be done, how did it come to this comment, did it not come into your mind that the above could be the problem?:

I'd really rather you tell us to f*k off and leave your build alone if you dont want to individually help, and I really can't say I would not understand it but then at least we would not spend hours of trying to find the issue on our side when it actually is not... :eek:

I must say generally the tone worsened a lot in the last 30 pages or so and I don't really see any reason.

Of course there are the LED and FCs all over, but that also means that more new people are using your build which is postive, no?

But also the "real" issues don't get adressed, I have till now not got any reply to the iptables issue. Again, rather a short "I don't care, nobody usese Firewalls, they are dumb and so are you" than just nothing... :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
I think you mistook us for Gods. I really don't appreciate this tone or attitude.None of us are programmers or autors of the code, so don't expert aby real debugging of your problems
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Thought you would have tried that, you've been around long enough to know but we all miss something, sometimes.

Well, since the easy solution doesn't apply here, I'm at a loss.

I don't think anything has changed in the build, that would suddenly prevent those apps from running.

If there was a major switch from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 I would assume the app developer wasn't up to speed but it has to be something else here.

You could try redownloading the apps, if you haven't already.

Other than that only using a new data image would come to my mind.

If you don't need those apps and the rest is working for you, wait till there is a update of the build and do a fresh start, with a new data image and maybe even reformating of the sd card. Doesn't hurt to do this once in a while.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
I never said I could do the job?

I just asked - while saying please - to implement it. I did not know it IS implemented.

I also asked two times if warrens new kernel is implemented now and got no answer. I was not following this since march as of the - for my usage - annoying adhoc bug.

I did read all notes since 2nd of march. So please answer the following three questions about that AdHoc-Problem and do not feel offended by us trying to help. Noone tries to pull your work into mud here but if you want feedback you should deal with it instead of throwing stones on those trying to help. Sorry if I missed something but I cannot see a reason for you to tick out like that...

Here are my three short questions:

1. Do you think the AdHoc-Problem will be solved by the new kernel (assuming it is not yet implemented)?

2. Do you think this problem is related to any change you made? Or do you think its more likely to be a defective patch or a problem in CM that blocks AdHoc?

3. Will you keep your eyes on it? It worked in Feb 16 release. Something that was changed from that release to the first march release (that was next release I tried out) must be the problem.

Here are some more things I noticed but most of them are already posted. ust want to add myself to the list of persons who encountered that:

-Notifiaction Bar: 1px break bar grabber (if it is pulled down in the bottom bar right of the center)

-Lockscreen: Slider bar background (silver bow) is about two centimeters too small in width.

-Data: If I move and have HSDPA at beginning and then move into a cell where only edge is aailable the data icon keeps showing the "H" nut in gray and no data is available until disabling and reenabling it.

-Battery, even if you don't believe it: My Battery was consumed fully within eighthours now. The phone is in edge mode and was 95% of this time in Standby. (Sending two SMS, Calling two minutes, looking at the time for summarized about 10 minutes)

So far... Don't take my text above offensive if it sounds like that it just represents my reaction to the interpretation of what you wrote, cope

Ah and by the way: I would love you for eating my cat so...

There is a build where LEDs are working. And (please READ THIS:) they wrote how they fixed it:

There seem to be two versions of liblights (or so)

One with working LEDs and one where the CUSTOM automatic backlighting works.

I for my part would rather have LEDs thancustom backlight levels. It is not that the automatig backlight dimming would not work at all you just cannot adjust the different values (as they write, did not try it)

Probably this can help?
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Happens sometimes.

I had similar issues several times.

One time it didn't create a data image on first boot but did so after a reboot.

One time I had FC's all over with a new data image. After erasing it and rebooting everything worked fine. No changes to the sd card, I didn't even erase the Android folder in case something happened during copying. Only erased the data image and let it create a new one again. I'm also using a bootmanager so it couldn't have been something I did with winmo before first Android boot.

Computers. We will never fully understand them. They have a female side.

Hope you don't get scared off by the rough answers. But as you can see we do have over 400 pages already and we probably would be around 100 if people would read instead of just asking questions that have been answered countless times.

Well, you do seem to read and use your head but many do not and tempers among those that have been with this build from the start are, hm, not like they used to be.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
Hi guys haven't used android on my phone for a long time, I don't have the latest build I have the release before this new 1, I'm dual booting with wp7 because my USB is buffered in need of some battery saving tips for this rom if u have any please. Other than that seems excellent great job. Ill get the update when I return home.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DracoX:
:o I am newbie and we are learning to use Android in HD2.

About game, is a confirmation that angryb to install on the SD doesn't work only on phone.

Thanks anyway for your answers, I appreciate it.

Regards ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Shamez, I would just ignore em at this point. No need to put the pressure of thread management on your shoulders. nowadays I just report them.

Now, I have this thread in my favorites. I dont even enter it unless the build number changes. Other wise I'll end up berating every fool asking the same stupid ass questions.

Everyone else. If something doesn't work or you have a question, search this thread for the keywords in your particular issue/question. The search button won't judge you for asking stupid/repeated questions. Cheers folks.

Sent from my Gingerbreaded HD2...
[HD2 Android SD Development] iamlegend2:
Some other games need to moved to phone as well if they got FC when opened.. i dont remember which..

So maybe not just angrybirds.. but i dont why they need to moved to the phone..

im newbie also :o
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
like sands through the hour glass....

^^ like me. Pfew. Here I got an extra man purse. you can have it. then we can be same-zies.

we can go shopping for clothes and stop at starbucks for a smoothie.

hey afterwards you wanna help me pick out draperies for my living room ?

hahehwhahwehahwehawhhe0he0he0he0he0h!

jkjkj!

sorry.. now im laughing tho... needed that
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Yah, I know. You are right.

But, I can't. There are still people out there that need help, there are still things to learn.

And I fear there might not be any changes in the build number any more, if this goes on like it had the last couple of days.

It would be a shame if this build died because of that.

So, to the devs:

There are people out there that appreciate your work. More than you think.

Keep it up for them, even if it's hard sometimes.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
btw

man purse.

so hot.

lol!
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Draperies? Draperies are dangerous. They can sneak up from behind, snake around your nek, when you least expect it. Draperies are no good.

But if you want to change the look of your home, it's been brought to my attention, that there are wallpapers out there that are almost like a soft cushion. So far, I've only found them in white but maybe they can be painted over. They come in the form of panels to be screwed to your walls and they are real soft.

And the best is, you can even get them as floor panels. Walkling on those must be like jumping up and down on a bed. I liked to do that as a child.

Oh and a smoothie afterwards to relax. Nice idea. I like it.

Just pretty hard to hold the cup with that new white jacket they gave me. Stupid designer must have been nuts when he dreamed up those sleeves. Well, what can you do. It's brand new and everyone would be mad at me if I told them that I don't want to wear it anymore.

AVRCP

^^ HAHAHAH! AHAHAHAHAHA ^^^^ !!!!!!!! pwn!

avrcp is still under development. please see the following link for futher details.

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bluetooth/msg11135.html

i think its pretty safe to say that it will be here eventually. unless we roll back bluez to an earlier version.. however i think the risks inherent with that may outweigh the benefits. so.. at least for me.... wait it is.

you can take a bit of action tho....... post here

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5450

and give google a bit of a nudge in the right direction.

(be nice tho.. +1 for me sort of thing) we dont need google after us for any reason ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
Hey cope: Thanks for reading ;) You know what I mean.

I want to silently attach to your posting and thank all project members for their work and of corse the rest of the community who help you and by that further help each other.

This is a great project. Keep it up!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Pedro G:
I've been using this android for several months. i have a question that i been searching the forums but i failed to find the answer. i've looked at every menu and setting on my phone and for the life of me i can not figure it out. when ever i receive a picture or even when i send picture it automatically shrinks the picture down to 160x120. i just wanna know if you can tell me where in the settings i can go to fix it or if there's even an option or if its just the way its supposed to be. its been driving my crazy trying to figure it out lol
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
This is a limitation of MMS size

or do you mean email?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Pedro G:
sorry i wasn't clear on that. i was talking about mms yes.

[HD2 Android SD Development] HaPeWe:
Has anyone else the problem that internel ringtones (media in system.ext2) are no longer shown when using the new rootfs.img from APR 02?
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
Man, am I glad you got what I meant, I was already somewhat anxious you might roll all over me... :D

Just to say it again, as it actually really cant be said enough, I love you guys and the work you do! This really is by far the best build I ever had on my HD2 and really makes me a lot less itchy to get the newest dual core tegra phone!

Use all of our positive comments as a west against these stabs, I mean really, very infrequent data drops, Angry Birds (not even anymore!) and that stupid LED are really no issues, as well as the lock screen and that small white stripe, which you btw both dont have if you use a data.img previous to MAR26 for having the latest Android running on our devices and everything else works so extremely good and smooth!!

My girlfriend has a defy and she wont go to GB as I believe the camera isn't working yet, and you know when GB first came to light...

Now as docent solved the moving data issue for us, I really don't care much about the rest!

BUT :D: I have one little last request, for example issues like the iptables thing I posted that happens since MAR26 build, do you think it is possible for you to give a short comment like "we didnt change anything related" or similar, as I said, then we (or I, apparently nobody else uses Droidwall??) can do some troubleshooting on my side. It is really strange to see some real issues just getting lost under all the LED and data posts, when at the same time everybody complains how annoying it is to reply to them... :confused:

Or you could add the link to the cyanogen changelog to the first post so we could check there before posting problems, or do you get your info from their twitter account? I really spent 30 mins on their hp just now and have not found a "normal" changelog that I can tie to our device, or maybe I am blind?

@docent: sorry to upset you buddy, I didnt mean to flame or anything and you know that I am very glad to help where I can and I do my utmost to keep my posts informative and to help others when it is possible. I believe I am really not just sitting there and waiting until the solution gets served to me on a silver platter...and yes, somehow you, cope and warren are godlike to me... ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Doemaarwat:
Just wanted to drop a notification that since yesterday all is working :) Great work guys. I am still learning and configuring my absolutely fast 'new' phone :D

First I wanted to try is Angry Birds, which my wife has on her *cough* iPhone. Ended up with a crash, but then I got reading again in this thread and moved the app to the Phone => Now it's working.

This morning I woke up and my battery was almost empty and then again I needed to read the thread and FAQ again. No probs at all, because (I think) I found the answer => Install 'LED me know beta'. (I dont want them to kill my cat :P ) uncheck all notifications for the LED and now am testing if my battery is not 'draining' anymore.

Just to let other new people know that if they run into these problems, keep reading, keep, keep, reading (almost singing right now). Then you'll find an answer.

I'll follow this thread from now on and if I have some feedback which is not yet to be found I let you guys (and girls) know.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Rollo82:
i can't understand the battery usage!! i'm using 29-03 build. i delete everything from my sd (except angry birds save) and copy a new android folder (so i have a new data.img)...

i configured only gmail account, a pop3 account and the following apps:

google maps

smooth calendar

pdanet

firefox 4

opera

skyfire

dolphin hd

adobe reader

adobe flash

shazam

msn messenger mercury

barcode scanner

formula1.com 2011

realcal

launcher pro

vary angry birds

led me know

dialer one

facebook

twitter

street view

vocal search

yesterday my phone was 100% charge at 9:00 and a t 12:30 was about 90%, then i use it for some angry birds & co and at 23:00 was 40%. then i use it a lot and at 01:00 was 15%... for me is really good...

today... my phone at 9:00 was 100% charged and at 11:00 (now) is 86%! without using it at all!!! only stand by!

how could it be possible? with currentwidget i have 80ma!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
@Rollo82

Please search, read the FAQ, and if you still need to post a battery issue, provide a screenshot as requested.

The green (fully charged) led will be on at anything above 90%, so you may not have the problem you think you have.
[HD2 Android SD Development] HaPeWe:
Sometimes Android SD-builds will boot with a standby consumption of 3-6mA, sometimes with 50-60mA - it seems random, affected all SD builds.

I have a theory that windows mobile sometimes initialize something (maybe a Bluetooth- or LED-Light-component) that leads to a high stand-by consumption.

Booting with a Loader like Android Loader v6.0 (soft reset boot) should fix the problem.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Proof me wrong but I don't think LED me know will help much with your battery life.

It will turn of your LED if that gets stuck after a reboot.

The LED however doesn't need much current.

Sure, every little thing helps but it is pretty unlikely that it will solve your draining issue.

There are other things that may take a toll on battery life.

Bad reception area can be one of them, especially when you are running in 3G mode and it is searching for a better connection all the time.

Bluetooth should be turned off, when you don't need it.

Wifi should turn itself off, when you go into standby but that behaviour can be changed in the settings so you should check if it really is set to turn off in standby and even if it is, it might get stuck. So to be safe, turn it off manually when you don't need wifi.

The same goes for GPS. Turn it off, when you don't use it.

Don't use automatic synchronisation extensively. If your google account, your weather app or whatever other app you use synchronize with their respective server, every couple of minutes, that will surely help to drain your battery.

Although keeping radios you don't use turned off is a valid thing to do, your battery might still drain.

Happened to me the other night and I had my phone in airplane mode. So, no radio at all.

I usually charge my phone over night, every night and I almost never have unexpected high drain, I lost almost 50% that night.

And I even checked the battery widget which showed me around 5mA of drain, which is normal, when I went to sleep.

Since I don't have a battery log of that night, I don't know what happened but I guess one of my apps went on a rampage. Maybe.

Whatever it was, it's OK to me. Things like that can happen.

That's why I always charge my phone during the night. I always have a fully loaded battery when I start my day.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Rollo82:
i'm not using winmo 6.5 and haret, i have win7 and boot from magldr... should the faq work for my scenario?

UPDATE: i turned off wifi and i have 5ma in idle.... it's normal?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Doemaarwat:
Thanks..I really can't say that it's all over now, and also know that it is not _just_ LED me know that will solve the issue. Because it was just yesterday. I will also indeed check all my service updates etc like, mail, agenda, wifi, gps, twitter etc...And switch them off when I don't need them.

Just installed the currentwidget and will see if I can get some usefull info from it and do some little tests the coming days.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Between 4 to 10mA in standby can be considered as normal.

As I said, wifi should turn itself off when you put your phone in standby.

There is no "one thing" that has been found that causes an unusually high drain. It can be all of the things I mentioned or none of them. What applies to me doesn't have to apply to you.

But it should be clear to everyone, that things that need energy to work, like the different radios in your phone, services that run in the backround, even in standby, like synchronisation, or any other app that is running, with your consent or without, that keep the cpu of your phone from staying in idle, will use up your battery.

That's physics and it can't be helped. All you can do is not to use, what you don't absolutely need and check for things that might develop a life of their own.

Sure, that's not exactly what they promised in the commercials.

Your phone connected to the world. Everything, everybody, all the time.

A lot of the fancy services like Google latitude that offer real time whatever depend on beeing connected all the time. I know that.

But they never talk about battery use, do they?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Not really sure why everyones moaning about battery life, when im using it, wifi off, all non used aps killed, my drain is 140-180ma but my phone still lasts for a couple of days with moderate use.

seems fine for me.

Love this build, the only thing that could be better is the reintroduction of OC'ing from the Feb 2011 kernel.
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
Our phone has a 1230 mAh battery, with 140mAh drain its empty in less than 10 hours, in 8.8 to be exact...?

Getting to a 4-10mA drain is crucial, but from there it easily lasts 20+ hours on one charge with all but wifi and bt on and no taskkiller, no setcpu, syncing all day long and good use!

Try to identify battery drain progs, Android System Info from market helps (and of course current widget to check the drain...), and search for alternatives, Taskos was one such app on my phone, now I have Gtasker and drain is low, low, low, low :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] Rollo82:
i can't understand the problem... now i turned wi-fi on again, but now i have a 2-3-4 mA in stand by... :confused::confused:

Well course i know read the whole 450+ pages is time -consuming , well the thread solution are not tagged , so searching with Tags don't help too...

That why i asked someone who can quick reply !!!!!

Well i will decided whether or not go back to WinMo.......
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Read the first page and the FAQ, then ask your questions then.... I would also go back about 10 pages and read read read, befor asking something recently answered. If that is to much to ask, WinMo may be the best place for you
