Synchronization

I´ve downloaded it and installed it. Aaand I LOVE it!!! Thank You very much for this work man!

Now I have a question. How can I connect it to my Computer (I know: with my USB :)) and synchronize it, so I can install e.g. .akp´s? Do I need a special app?

Thank you very much!:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Or just delete the saved networks and re-add? could be quicker
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
plug in the USB cable and boot it as a drive (pull down notification and click to turn on file sharing)

drag the apps across to the drive once its recognised

use a file explorer (either on the phone or 3rd party like ES file explorer)

tap on the .apk and install.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Theres one on first page, second post by cope is there not?

thinks there is the sense widget and battery icon

yes, post 3... but i've tried them on the build before... none of them worked...

Cope & Warren,

I want thank the two of you for all work you've put in to ACA. Its been a fun ride, but it looks like my HD2 days have come to an end. My favorite toy is now fish food at the bottom of Baltimore Harbor.

Found out that work will now pay a data plan on my company phone, so it looks like heading to Verizon.

If anyone needs an official HTC extended battery w/ back cover or an International HD2 Otterbox Defender case, hit me up. I'm sure we can work something out.

Mee too led not working in charging mode.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Thats strange, worked fine for me when I tried it.

not sure Cope would have posted it if it didn't work. try re-downloading and copying it over to your phone and installing again.

have you had it on any other builds before 2605?

I've got an issue with the latest build in that I can't use any google apps or sync over wifi - I can still browse the net but marketplace and maps are a no go, everything works fine over hspda though.
[HD2 Android SD Development] gargon01:
I too asked about this in this thread months ago but got no response. I did a lot of research myself, made an image into a logo.rle image with the image tool but didn't know how to integrate into the initrd.gz file. I gave up after a while because no-one seemed to know what to do next, I asked in different threads.

I've added the image I want to use converted into the necessary format if anyone wants to give it a go. Holla at me copes if you can help!!

Thanks

Go back again and check the box again.

The same for me. SMS are deleted after reboot. The next problem some application are closed immediately after app strart without wait/FC message. It look like app is broken and unistalling and installing again solve the problem

I've been having big time troubles with the 0526 build.

SD Card not mounted, took 8 battery pulls to even boot into android, WiFi can not even start up.

Tried upgrading from 0521 and installing a clean build. Seems that no matter what I do I can't get the SD Card working correctly but at least I finally have the OS up.

Just as soon as I can get everything working properly, I will cut a new version of the battery circle mod.

Tmobile user using latest offical wm rom from tmo. Data is very flaky not being picky very hard to do anything requiring data will just drop data connection no 3g or edge icon just goes away going into airplane mode or restarting data dose not bring it back just comes back when it wants to.

Having major build problems

Edit: *** My conclusion is my Hardware must have something wrong with it****

I'm having major issues with 052611:

Issue:

Never completes first run, long time at green HTC screen then shut down. Restarts & boots to Android OK but no reboot at 5min. Then is very laggy with lots of FC's & Waits. Apps don't seam to install proberly & TB does back them up properly either. Wifi 3G worked fine.

What I have tried

1. Different SD cards

2. Complete format of SD card

3. Older data.img

4. No data.img

5. Differnet compters

6. Re-downloading source files

7. Single FAT32 Partition

8. 052611 + 052511beta kernal

9. 052111

10. 051711 on a different clean SD card no data.img (WTF!)

All attempts have given me the same results. I am know rebuilding 052511 to confirm it's not a hardware issue.

I see others have had issues above but none mention the issues in creating first build?

benpaddlejones :confused:

edit: to provide more details
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
You are not alone as there are several recent posts reporting problems when using an sd-ext partition.

You don't have to delete it or reformat, just edit the build.prop very near the end to show bkup2sdext=0 - then the sd-ext partition won't be mounted.

About to try on old Build to see if it's a Hardware issue.

Ben :-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
there will shortly be a new rule around here.

if you post that

-this doesnt work

-and that doesnt work

and you havn't done a clean install before you post... your post will be removed.

technically, we arn't supposed to be able to save any data between updates, and we've been lucky that its worked for us as long as it has.

Now... regarding the 052611 build. I have 2 hd2s sitting on my desk infront of me. one eu and one au model. The eu model got a fresh install on a single fat32 partitioned sdcard. The au got an upgrade install on a partitioned sdcard.

I've had no wifi errors, no fc/wait errors, my mms/sms messages apper fine. The device boots on first try.

I dont have to disable (insert mad face here) bk2sdext - its not messing anything up

.. otherwise my au model would be giving me problems.. ahem.... ***

Very VERY dissapointing last few pages of thread. Quite simply put, if you dont do a clean install and feel like comming here to ***** about something that isnt working... simply... dont.

theres a couple of you that are wise enough to know this already but posted anyways.

Side note regarding sms messages.

get this so you never lose ur sms messages EVER. http://www.appbrain.com/app/sms-backup/com.zegoggles.smssync (no excuses for missing mms/sms after a build upgrade when this is available for free)

*** Im going to yet again post the logic begind the bk2sdext. If some proof can be provided on how/where it is causing problems then ill look into it. But if not, then i want the issue put to rest.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JHimmelbauer:
hmm... does unfortunately not works for me...
[HD2 Android SD Development] globalgpj:
The latest build May 26 is the best for me ! :)

Android loaded directly on SD card, no partition.

All I do is copy the contents of the new build folder directly into my Android folder on my SD card, overwrite all, and bingo, bobs your uncle.

After the third boot, it's humming along perfectly !

So, everyone be patient, give it a few boots and when the system starts to load, wait a few minutes, especially if you have alot of stuff loaded or customised screens. Then begin to use the os.......works for me everytime.

Thanks Warren and Cope.........the best build yet ! ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] benpaddlejones:
Cope all my tests were done with a clean install and all have same issue. I have a AU HD2 like yours and I suspect I have have a hardware issue. I can 100% replicate issue with different builds, partitions & SD cards (hence my suspicion it's a H/ware thing).

benpaddlejones :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Nobody is suggesting that bk2sdext doesn't work, but if someone has introduced a problem in their apps and data, it will also back up the problems.

A clean install won't be sufficient as bkup2sdext will do it's job and you're back to square one.

If this is the case you need to disable bkup2sdext in order to achieve a clean install.

The only issue I had was that wifi didn't work with my original image. All went well with a clean install and I was able to use my original data.img thereafter.

"Current Release:

052611 - Update ... "

- so I follow the steps - not clean install.

I use to update my AmDroid. Because it's the best. But if I cannot upgrade it easily I wont update it often.

I had the same wifi problem with release 21052011 so I went back 'til 19.

My opinion that something is an update - should be updatable without problems.

New release - clean install.

Amdroid by far the best rom :)

thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
bkup2sdext feature explained.

AmeriCanAndroid created the bkup2sdext feature as a means to backup/restore apps and user data automatically. This is especially handy for upgrading to new builds and wanting to start them with a fresh data.img, or if something happens to a users fat32 partition requiring them to format it, or ... and it has been done, accidental deletion of an existing data.img.

bk2sdext uses an android os built in command 'rsync' to perform simple backup/restore (file copy) procedures to and from an ext partition located on a users sdcard. the beauty of rsync is it's ability to run a verify on a files age, and existance.

@bootup.

(*= data/ app/ app-private/ dalvik-cache/)

an index is taken of /data/* (contained in your data.img)

and checked against an index of /sd-ext/*

if something is found @ the sd-ext that doesnt exist @ the data.img

rsync restores it. (and thus restores your missing info apps and settings for android to use)

exceptions @ bootup.

the restore to data.img process does not take place on files that already exist @ the data.img. so lets say you leave bk2sdext off for a few boots.. and receive some sms messages, change some settings, install some apps... and then turn it on... it WILL NOT overwrite those changes, apps, settings, with the old ones this is something ive ensured.. rsync will not touch anything that exists already during the restore process.

@shutdown.

The reverse happens at shutdown.

rysc takes an index of your /data/* (see above for the actual folders within /data/)

and compares that against an index of /sd-ext/*

any changes that were made... apps that were installed/removed.. settings that were changed etc.. ANYTHING is all stored in your data.img @ /data/*

@ shutdown rysnc makes a mirror of that /data/* on the sd-ext partition.

if it finds something in the sd-ext that no longer exists in the data.img it removes it from the sd-ext.. (if you pull your bat this doesnt happpen)

other info:

-first boot and shutdown take the longest as this is when the most activity is required to create and restore the files.

-by your 3rd boot, the rsync process is usually finished before you see the boot animation start.

-by default all you need to activate bk2sdext is a partitioned sdcard with the second partition being ext in nature.

if your second partition is ext and you do NOT wish to use bk2sdext, simply edit your build.prop and change aca.bkup2sdext.enabled=1 to =0.
[HD2 Android SD Development] globalgpj:
If people have problems updating their systems, it's usually the end user who is either doing something wrong or is not reading the posts which are very helpful.

One of the things we noticed is that with a new build, it is best to switch the wifi and BT off and on through the settings, and anything else that is giving one problems especially if it can be turned off and on within settings.

As you know, this is Android on a sd card, so the system is not lightening fast like a NAND, but AmeriCanAndroid is very fast once it settles in.

So any problems you face, is your problem..........so be kind, be patient and don't expect miracles everytime in an Android sd card build. :p:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] rweitsz:
Everything Working OK

Hi

Just thought I'd share this.

Installed the latest build the same way I usually do. Copy everything (Android related from my SD) to the PC.

I delete everything in the Android folder except my data.img file.

I the copy over the new Android folder.

I copy over root from the 240 build prop file to the Android folder and then edit my dns settings in the build.prop file.

I then add my modified gps.conf file to root\system\etc

After deleting all unnecessary folders from the Android folder, I do a reboot.

Using these steps I never had a problem updating to a new build.

I have a partitioned 8Gb class4 SD (Fat32,sd-ext,linux swap)

My Wifi, Market, GPS all works OK on this new build so far.

Thanks Cope and Warren for a great build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
wifi error.

although I am currently not experience this issue.....

usually it happens with mismatched zImage and module files.

people who are getting wifi errors, have you done anything by means of changing out your zimage? make sure the one you have is the one that came in the build you downloaded. ie. keep the system.ext2 with the zimage it came with. (or if you have changed the zimage... did you make sure to install the module files that came with it?)

there have been builds.. here and there that throw the error message even with the correct matching from above. but usually they just need a toggle off on of wifi. (and like mentioned in a post above.. sometimes needing to be enabled from settings as opposed to from the power control widget)

however... we can add this to the list if enough people are having the problem.

but I want you to be sure you dont fall into the user above catagory first
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I had Warren's 0525 kernel update installed before installing 0526.

Would this have caused the "error" problem with wifi?
[HD2 Android SD Development] azazellov:
I did a clean install back on May 4th but haven't done it ever since and I have no issues with 05/26, I just did a clean install again, just to be safe.
[HD2 Android SD Development] robdee102:
Have you noticed that i dont post messages much. Maybe thats because i have nothing to complain about. Follow copes n warrens rules about installations and upgrades and you shouldnt have problems. I was thinkin bout upgrading my hd2 to something else, but ive decided not to as i already have one of the best android handsets on the market thanks to american android. Keep up the amazing work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kergekecske:
@globalgpj

I'm suprised. What is NAND ? What is SD? :)

I should change my nick to stupidenduser :)

The problem that you CANNOT turn on or off the wifi ( especially in the settings menu of course ).

It is gray in the submenu and gives an error messege. I never see like this in the previous updates. The update time was 1 hour after the uploading so you can't read anything about it . The solution simple - step back until an used and stabil version. But it is not important. Thanks for your (especially wise) advise :)

WIFI ERROR 5-26 build

Ok I had the 5/26 kernel update as well. Wifi would not work. Tried the fix permissions and did not work.

What I did that finally worked for me was :

1.	power off phone.

2.	Remove sd card.

3.	put the sd card in your pc using USB adapter.

4.	Backup your data image from the android folder on the sd card to your pc or copy it to a folder on your pc.

5.	delete the android folder from your SD card.

6.	copy the android folder from 5/26 that is on your pc to the sd card.

7.	put the sd card back in your phone and boot it

Don’t get concerned if the phone locks up at the HTC screen just pull the battery and try to boot again. May lock on htc screen a few times. Just reboot the phone. ( give it some time before you pull the battery. ) like 10 min. just to make shore.

8.	once the phone finishes the install and shuts down itself reboot.

9.	Check and make shore you have wifi working. Do this by going to settings and then wireless & Networks. You should see the wifi with no error showing as well as seeing your network.

10.	now shut off the phone.

11.	put the sd card back in your pc and open the android folder on the sd card.

12.	delete the data image file and copy the one you backed up from your pc to the sd card. Also copy the fix permissions file from the android folder on your pc to the android folder on the sd card.

13.	put the sd card back in your phone and reboot the phone.

My phone booted fine and shut down as normal the first time. I then booted it again and it got stuck at the HTC screen twice don’t get concerned just pull the battery an reboot.

The third time it started fine and all works.

Hope this helps and good luck.;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] ~Marty~:
After starting Haret.exe the message "booting Linux" can be seen,

thereafter the phone shows a black screen with "htc" letters on it.

After a while the phone shuts down.

Now, when I start the phone again it just boots back to windows!

What gives?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
This is perfectly normal.

Click Clrcad and haret again or use a bootloader.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ~Marty~:

[HD2 Android SD Development] OCedHrt:
Now that you mention it, good point. I should be asking in the NAND forums :) Was hoping that there'd be a lot of sharing happening on the kernel side. I haven't had a SD Android in a while but it seems development is a lot more active here. Great work!
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:

[HD2 Android SD Development] RicarduZonta:
Dear devs.

The last couple of builds wasn't that great as it used to be.

This must be due to you guys experimenting, changing things to make the build better. I knew I had to be patient and all's gonna be fine.

Now, everything's perfect.

My hd2 got sooo responsive. No fc/wait messages at all.

Proximity on call is better than ever.

Battery life is back to "normal". 1%/hour on standby, which is amazing (oem ext batt).

No freezes at all.

I can browse internet using Miren WHILE market is installing multiple apps!!!

I have been using my old data.img for MORE THAN 2 MONTHS.

What u guys (cm7+aca devs) made is a miracle. My hd2 is like an out of the box android high end device.

Thank you for supporting SD build enthusiasts like me who don't want to mess with nand and brick our phone.

Good night, and keep it up!

Wifi issues update:

My findings in regards to wifi issues:

Today, I did a full, single partitioned, format of my SD card and did a fresh ACA install.

Well guess what? I had wifi issues.

But I made the following discovery:

After no connection thru wifi, I rebooted (for the 4th time) and went to settings and saw "error" under "Wifi". I deleted my wifi profile and then when I tried to re-enter it, it tried to keep re-connecting to my router... over & over until it failed... after a few seconds I got the "error" message under "Wifi".

I decided to go back to basics.... I reset my Linksys router...... still no change.

After waiting for my phone trying to continually connect without success, I decided to take the "@" symbol out of my Router WPA2 password.... and voila... connection successful.

I have had that "@" symbol at the beginning of my password for years and never had an issue with an prior ACA build ....maybe something recently changed in wifi encryption within ACA ?... I'm not sure, but I'm back on board.

Not sure if this related to the specific issues some users are recently having, but I am just sharing my experience, in case it is.

Again, thanks to the ACA Devs and those who contribute to this thread.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kergekecske:
I had the same issue with built 21052011 but my router using mac filter. So I think it not depend on encryption. The last release is perfect , no problem with wifi.
[HD2 Android SD Development] felixdd:
Mac address

I tried searching this but to no avail

Why is my MAC address in Android different than that on WinMo?

It's actually causing me quite a bit of difficulty at work because my device is registered onto the network under the WinMo MAC, but not under the Android MAC.

Is there a way to get android to use my WinMo (aka my original) MAC?
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
I don't have much to post either. I'm to busy enjoying my phone. Still on an old image. I'll let you guys beta test the newer stuff a bit more though.

all I can say is make sure you go through xda's boot camp. Link is in my sig.

This wifi thing might be a cm7 issue also.

Sent from my Gingerbreaded HD2...
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
register it with both mac addy's. they can make such acceptions.....it'd be like just registering two of your devices....
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
That's not helping to develop the build, but at least it's being honest, rather than those who retreat to an older build at the first sign of trouble ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] felixdd:
Thats the thing...they won't do it. They're being quite obstinate about it. :mad:

I'm not asking for a spoof. I'm just asking if there's a way for the MAC to revert to the WinMo one.
