SD partitions deleted/corrupted

Hi all,

I've been using this fantastic ROM since its early versions. It's actually the best SD ROM out there, congrats guys!

However, i'm experiencing a weird problem. I've been searching in the thread but i dont think it is a known, issue (it's weird...). It has been happening since summer versions, but with this last update it has beconme even worse.

I have a dual boot WP7/Android HD2 with MAGLDR

In the NAND, i have WP7 build

In the SD (16GB class 6 sandisk), i have 2 partitions: one FAT32 with 14 GB aprox (where Android and my personal stuff resides), and the second Encrypted WP7 partition (1.6GB aprox). Since august, sometimes when the phone shutdowns on its own (it seems to happen whenever there is no battery) the SD partitions are deleted and new 2GB partitions are created ?!. Until the previous version, using AESUS or any other partition tool, i was able to recover the main FAT32 partition, although the WP7 partition got lost always (i had to back up it and restore every time it happens). With this last version, the same has happened but i haven't been able to recover the partition, so i have had to format the partition from scratch.

I always disable the bk2sdext stuff in /system/build.prop, and tried generating a new data.img and so on, but it just happens.

Any clue about what the problem is? It's quite surprising that this hasn't happened to anyone else... Maybe there is something bad in my phone?

Regards and anyway, congrats to the devs!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzziah0:
OK, I am using the 10-22 build. Recreating my data.img file worked, and I used my Titanium backups to restore everything (I need to buy the full version for having used it twice, and to have all the features).

So, 10-22 looks good for me!

I do have a question about Titanium backup.

I had backed up everything before having problems, but when I restore, I don;t get a lot of setting I thought I would get restored.

Things like the background image (I use one of the ones that came with ACA), my ringtone, icons I placed on the screen, and some widgets were not good (I deleted them, and just replaced them on screen and they are OK).

Did I do something wrong, or does Titanium not back these things up?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Maybe it is called WP7 :D

But seriously, it is either a WP7 or a Magldr issue. I have no experience of either, so I can't be any more specific, but a search in those areas won't go amiss.
[HD2 Android SD Development] alienao:
Hi uzi2,

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to research about the magldr. I dont think it's a WP7 issue since (forgot to mention) the created partitions are ext2 or ext3 (don't remember which one)

wouldn't it be related to the bk2sdext? Or maybe the join of magldr+ACA (configuring properties in startup.txt)?

Thanks in any case!
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Bk2sdext could in theory be writing files to your WP7 partition, but it won't be responsible for formatting partitions.

No, i'm in Plane mode, always. i tried not a long time ago with SIM working in WinMo, but it was worse (but i also had sd pb, so, don't know if it is related).

Did you try app that follow GPs status ? GPS is working in WinMo ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] finalfab:
In winmo i use TomTom and Igo and GPS is working very well.

In android only the localisation by data is working.

Edit: Now it works! I don't know why but it works.

But another thing i would like to ask you: how do you do to have an acces to your android phone with usb (exemple: save my pictures on my pc)?

Thanks a lot for your help!

RE: Settings

Hi everyone...I am experiencing some weirdness with the latest build...I started with a brand new data image....every time I reboot (dual boot back and forth with WP7) my settings for ringtone sounds does not get saved...the sound does not even go to default...rather the sounds gets picked randomly...older builds of ACA saves this ringtone settings but this latest build seems to not do so....any fixed you guys recommend? also I am experiencing some random boots!? don't know why this is...any thoughts on this as well?
[HD2 Android SD Development] M3PH:
I read more than 75% of it. When you've been hanging around tech forums for as long as i have you start to develop good speed reading and skimming skills.

I'm not saying (as you will see below) that ACA is the only SD built with the problem. It just seems that in the HD2 CM7 thread mention of the problem seem to dye off.

Thanks for heads. I'll stop wasting time on researching it.

Cleaned installed to this latest update. Everything looks good except for that usb mounting issue. I just boot into winmo when I need to transfer files till it gets fixed(?).

No problem... you might want to have a look at the issue page yourself, and star it - then you'll get updates if anything changes.

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3353

I won't be keeping up with it any more... I've been using the MIUI rom for the last week and thinking of moving to it permanantly. Partly because everything (including VPN) works well on it, but it performs almost as well as ACA. I like the interface too. Will be trying the NAND version over the weekend.

Thanks Cope and Warren for your builds this year. It's been fun and I've learned a lot, but it's time for me to settle on something that's not changing so much and just works.

Winamp/Music Player Issues

I've used CPUTuner, with the minimum cpu speed at 128, Governor on Demand, Threshold up 70. Interactive doesn't seem to scale up the CPU fast enough for the music player/equalizer. Your alternative is to kill the DSP equalizer and/or drop down the bit-rate of the music.

Oh, and you'll have to quit winamp when you're done listening to music, otherwise you will have this strange issue after the screen turns off. When you push a button to restart the phone, the back-light will start, but nothing else displays. After the back-light goes off, when you hit the button again you can unlock and use the phone.

There may be other issues that occur with other software on your phone. Get some system monitoring software and see what that gives you.

This is work, thankfully it's challenging.

What Will Happen to My Leo Now

The end is near....... ;)

Recently I picked a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and I am running most of the Android applications from the tablet. My Hd2 now does no more than make phone calls and send sms and of course the occasional launch of an app when the tab is not with me. But the tab is almost always with me....

I have always been a Nokia person and with the launch of Nokia WP7 I will most likely be picking a Nokia phone. Or should I? There is the Nokia N9 too to consider but its not available in my country yet. Should i continue with self inflicted pain by sourcing for a Nokia N9 which will take over from where Leo will leave....

Then there is the small matter of Samsung Galaxy Nexus which is very enticing.... I know I dont need it coz I have teh tab but its allure is too much to ignore. So as you guys can see clearly I am confused.

So help me out here and get the best combo noting that the tab is for keeps....

1. Current = HD2 dual booting WP7 and Android + SG Tab

2. 1 above add Nokia N9

3. 1 above add Nokia WP7

4. 1 above add SG Nexus

5. Dispose of HD2 and add Nokia WP7 and SG Nexus to SG Tab

Its a tough call for me :cool:

Makes no sense (to me) to scale so low, and expect high performance at the same time. Suggest you set your min to 1/3 of max (and no lower).

Nice to have cheat-sheet, so to speak, thanks.

Shouldn't, at least in theory, TB do all that for us? :-(
[HD2 Android SD Development] Zippy1970:
Is there some kind of manual for this ROM. Every now and then I stumble upon something cool, only to not be able to figure out how I got there in the first place.

For instance, the other day I was making a call and when I looked at the screen, there was a pop-up window asking me if I wanted to record this call. That's a pretty cool option but I have no clue how I started it. I've tried everything but I can't get the pop-up window again.

Another example. I was in a call and tapped and held the "End Call" button. I got a pop-up window asking me if I wanted to blacklist the number which I think I accidentally answered "yes" to. But I have no idea how to "whitelist" this number again.

There are so many hidden options, which is why I'm asking if there's a manual somewhere?

(Oh, and if you know the answer to the above two answers, feel free to share them with me ;) )

PS: I read a few pages back that the developers added some kind of "Occupy" boot up animation. My feeling is that politics has no place here and they should remove it. I'm sick and tired of getting other people's political ideas forced upon me every where I look. Please, please, please keep politics out of this.

Brightness adjustment

Hi all,

I've been fighting with this for some time now: In "Automatic backlight" there is "Light levels" section when you check "Use custom" you can "Edit other levels...".

Now I have the problem: "Lower" end "Upper" column define Sensor reading (amount of light), "Screen" column defines screen brightness (0-255) and Button is just 0 (off) or 255 (on).

Now, when you on that screen on the top you can see current Sensor reading, Screen brightness and if Buttons are lit (255) or not (0). Buttons work ok BUT Screen blitheness seems to be set to 164

no matter what the sensor readings are

. Any ideas?
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
from my experiences with custom auto-brightness, it seems to be a bit unstable, meaning sometimes it works good, sometimes not so,

also, in some of the previous builds, lowers sensor values (below 200/300 if I recall correctly) were disregarded, i.e. even with sensor at 20, the minimal brightness would be set at the value corresponding to sensor at 200/300

i have this ROM on my phone and i have installed spb shell 3d,after i installed it i set it as default launcher and after that i clicked home button again and i must choose default launcher but spb shell 3d is not on list
[HD2 Android SD Development] taddzio:
In my case only highest threshold triggers change on screen led level then it stays there no mater what the readings are. On the other hand Buttons (light on/off) are triggered ok for every reading.

My excuse.

Thank you for the tip. I'm experimenting to see if I can have my cake and eat it too, as far as speed and long battery life.

The slow start up I previously referenced, "currently seems" to occur when the battery passes some drain point and CPUTuner drops the speed down. What's tough is the vast number of actions and switches in hidden corners of the system and downloaded programs (at least to a newbie).

So now, armed with your advice (which confirmed what I was thinking) I'll incrementally increase the minimum speed selection -- when the CPUTuner goes into the specific battery save mode that's causing issues -- so the unit is slightly more functional. (Even though it seems counter-intuitive)

This little issues is like trying to hit a moving target, but I guess that's the price of self instruction. To those with experience it probably amounts to a fart in a hurricane, but it makes me not envy the ACA developer's jobs one bit.

HD2 as a portable hard drive?

My amplifier has a USB port for USB drives. When HD2 is plugged into the amp, the USB tethering says not connected. Is this the issue others have voiced? It shows tethered when plugged into my PC.

I googled and searched the HD2 forum for amplifier usb, but haven't gotten confirmation that the HD2 can act as a USB memory stick for my amplifier, or do I just have an overpriced battery charger?

I have screen problem loading widget, can anyone help?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Kbybee9:
@HD2@

Did it just give you this error when you updated, like after restoring adw settings? We need some more info on what you were doing before it said, problem loading widget.

If it is that you just restored the settings, then all of your widgets will show this. Adw doesn't keep your actual widgets on your screen because they are separate programs, it only keeps a placeholder for where a widget once was. So in order to restore the widgets that are now saying, problem loading widget, you wool need to either restore the widget via TB out redownload it from the market, then remove the

"placeholder" and then add the widget again to your screen.

Hope that I didn't jump too many conclusions there, but that is what happens after a settings restore, may be helpful to others as well.

Get rid of the OCCUPYTOGETHER. ORG logos! ?

Would it be so bold to request the removal or option not to have the BS OccupyTogether.org graphics at bootup. Makes me want to throw up on a pretty decent build. As it is you have to watch the misinformed and misdirected drum beaters every night on the news.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bethybabes69:
Any ideas on this??

For comparison, I've installed HD2 MIUI 1.10.28 on the same SD, install and runs perfect, was up and running in 6 or 7 minutes.

Tried a new download of ACA, still the same, just hangs at the grey ACA screen???
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Ok so after using for awhile I noticed some things.

Robo voice:

I never ever had an issue with this. Now I get it randomly. Easy enough bandaid, but it always comes back.

Instability:

I get alot of phone freezing and crashes. Killing/stopping the services/tasks does not work. Only a full reboot does. This will happen at random and usually right after I just used the phone with no issues. And by Phone, I mean the actual phone service or process that makes the actual call. Could be related to goContacts but this never happened with previous builds.

I sometimes lose phone connection(not data) and it will not come back unless I reboot. I try cycling airport mode but it ends up getting stuck on airplane mode and it wont change back,even after going into the settings to do so. Reboot fixes it.

I use multi-mount to get usb drive access but is there any new information on why this is an issue with the default build?

If there is no conclusive answer to this, then I'll just revert back to August 27 and continue on, continuing on.

Update: could these issues be caused by a failing sd card?

Update2: This is from a fresh format, clean install, new data.img with a TB import of my old data sans the CM7 settings.
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
similar here, card works ok, nevertheless each time after reboot I have to check for robovoice first, no other issues so far, anyway after a few dramatic robo-conversations went back to 0828 for now
[HD2 Android SD Development] stim141:
Installed the build last night and I too am getting the robo voice. Data seems "different" in that a somewhat weak 3g signal on the last build would stay H/3g but in this build it always drops down to E.

Tried a reboot to fix the voice but it didn't work - also deleted data image - no change.

Did a total format of my card in a card reader and transferred the Android folder from the PC to the cardreader. Will try again tonight when I get back home with a fresh download and unpack - maybe something got corrupted?!

You'll have to ask Copenhagen about that but in the meantime it is very easy to change.

Simply remove /system/media/bootanimation.zip and you will get the standard 'android-shine' animation or replace it with any bootanimation.zip of your choice.
