WOUHHOOOUUUU..... 2.3.3 gets released soon for Nexus one and Nexus S. http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/22/nexus-s-and-nexus-one-get-android-gingerbread-2-3-3-fixes-rando/

CM group, Cope, Waren ............ Can we smell an update in the upcoming month?

or would 3.0 have reached CM Group already....

I am lost what to cheer for.... I'm a sucker for updates :D

Oh....and wanted to add......180 FTW!!!! Couldn't handle it at first now CAN'T WORK WITHOUT IT.

Also, 16feb data.img works great with this build and running very smooth (smoother than previous builds I must say....maybe my mind playing tricks on me)
[HD2 Android SD Development] damathos:
Ok, thanks for the info, I'll try this tomorrow ;)

What is strange is that I even tried to reinstall copilot after formating the ext3 partition... this formating should have erased all copilot traces in dalvik-cache ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
Okay.. your point is taken. You prefer 240 - your case is well supported. Thumbs up.

However, let me quickly point this out to you

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11562235&postcount=673

and finish with....

@you, and other users who prefer a 240 lcd density setting.

This is why we include a 240 build prop with the build.

Are you trying to tell me that users can't long-press-copy on the /sdcard/android/240buildprop/root folder

and long-press-paste in the /sdcard/android/ folder..... but can clearly download the build from the internet / unzip a .7 file / either usb to pc their device - or mount their sdcard in some other fasion / copy files from a pc to their handheld / and boot a totally different OS from within winmo??? not to mention they probably already flashed a new radio .. the list goes on...

all i hear is LAZYNESS when people complain about the 240 lcd density.

I'm sorry.. you to.. dont take this out of context... like I said your case is well supported. But so is mine.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
let me explain the bkup2sdext feature of the build for everyone.

ext partition is being used strictly for backup purposes

Please read the following until you understand the 3 senarios @ play. :) :)

(all of this happens @ boot time...)

1. file exists in data.img but not in sd-ext

-> copy file to sd-ext

**this is your apps and dalvik-cache backing up to your ext partition**

-for speed reasons we leave the original files in the data.img, and only create a backup on the ext partition

-this senario should be common to people who install the build for the first time, and have just partitioned their sdcard

2. file exists in sd-ext but not in data.img

-> MOVE file to data.img

**this is your device restoring missing apps and dalvik-cache items**

-if files are missing from data.img we MOVE them from the ext partition. This keeps the ext partition clean, and lets the android os deal with expired dalvik-cache and app items.

-this senario will be common to users who have just lost their data.img, or formatted their fat32 partition

-this is what makes your next build upgrade the best update ever ;) no more installing apps. its done for you.

3. file exists in both data.img and sd-ext

-> copy file from data.img (IF IT IS NEWER) to sd-ext

**this is your device updating existing backups on sd-ext**

-here we make sure that you don't have old information backed up to the sd-ext.

if a file exists in both data.img and sd-ext and (the data.img file is NEWER)

then update the backup of that file on the sd-ext

-this will happen any time you update an app, or make changes to something that uses the dalcik-cache.

4. there is ONE senario that I have yet accounted for, and may not be able to account for. Ill leave it up in the air for guesses as to what it is.... (its nothing bad btw...) however .. I have eluded to it in a post I made previously this evening (NO HINTS).

==========================================

NOW! that you have read the above and understand it......

you can format your ext partition countless times to get rid of that co-pilot data..... however it still exists __________ (where)? and the next time you boot _____________________________ (what happens)?

:)

ill wait incase there are questions lol

I don't think cope has put it in or if its even possible to, Tokl successfully calibrated on 050111 I think, so it should be ok. Go back a few pages and you'll find the bma150 file I posted. Follow the instructions.

[HD2 Android SD Development] mv:-):
Same here -- using existing data.img from r501 (just to see if it will work despite; usually I start fresh), USB to PC working without notification.

Since r501, have not been getting any data drops. So far so good... :-)

Great update! Will report more if I find anything...

[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
To ACA creators and those who actively have been helping improve this great build

May 03 updated using old data without a problem :D

Data drops almost gone :D

However I found some issues in all May releases (including very first ones ;))

1. It is impossible to disable mobile data (APN or Quick Settings try to turn it off and when they do it, the data is almost immediately switched on). It is needed to disable it through dialer pad (*#*#4636#*#*) and still the data somehow manages to switch on :eek:

For me it is a very important issue as I travel a lot and do not want to pay hefty roaming fees

2. Twitter not working (yes, uzi2 it suddenly stopped :(). Although it may have nothing to do with the build itself

3. I use Launcher Pro and cannot backup my settings. It says there is no SD card installed :confused:. Still I do not consider it a grave problem but I wanted to mention it.

4. When I Power Off the phone it starts turning off (and backing up) and while it lasts the phone works normally + mobile data turns on (!!!) and I can't do a thing. Is there a way to make the phone automatically put itself into Airplane Mode while Powering Off?

As you all see, 'my' problems are not extremely annoying (except for #1 and #4 to some extent) but I will appreciate all your help you can give

Thx

Ah, one more thing :

Why is the LCD density so small? ........ Just kidding :D

got a really nice build here, so far so good + using old data.img on 030511 (guess i just got it before it was pulled)

data works amazing, wifi works, gps does too.

only thing that is wrong (but still works) is connection of usb to pc- the little icon doesnt appear, as you know, however it still enables file transfer.

good job W+C, thanks guys

Been having an odd issue the last few builds anyway where trying to set a sound (Notification, alarm etc), if I select Android System it crashes back to the American Android loading screen and reloads itself. Any ideas there? Think a fix.perms would help?
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Hmmm, I wonder why...

Also, there are 5 major reasons why the same build will react differently on our HD2's.

1. Diff HD2's, The US and EU versions might have slight hardware tweaks that could cause different behavior

2. Diff WinMob roms being used on the HD2

3. Diff SD Cards and SD Cards being really inconsistent even among the same brand.

4. Diff idiots trying to bork his/her phone by not reading ****. Not searching ****. Not having common technical sense.

5. Diff cellphone service providers, especially since this is used globally.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
In this thread
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
No s***

I'm aware of the likely reason, hence my above post, however some have reported it working fine with the old image and I thought I'd give it a try - I was merely reporting the results
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
I think it may something to do with the change in kernel. Here's what I did.

1. Reformat and repartition the SD card (make sure you backup data.img).

2. Now fresh install.

3.Now copy backed-up data.img to your android folder.

It should work, if not:

after step 2, using TB batch apps +data restore green positions only

restore all apps !

now move to step 3.

Hi guys, have trouble finding infos how to resize data image from 1gb to 512mb, searched through faqs only found infos how to use old image when updating build also found thread about modifying data image in linux.

If someone can give info how to resize data image in windows or give me link with new fresh 512mb data image, ty in advance.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Thats fine. I'm also posting that for the others that somehow cant read previous posts and will completely forget that Cope ever mentioned that.

Because you didn't state your pre-existing knowledge of the data.img situation, a lesser mentally equipped user would take that as saying, "old data.img's are ok to use in this build."

It's all about information control. And this thread needs it. Dearly.

In other news, I have no info to report on the newer builds. My 4/27 build is solid as **** still. Maybe if the next build has a front facing camera, I'll update. :cool:
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Roaming is a separate setting, so no need to worry there. My data can be switched off and is done so automatically at night by Llama. It uses the more reliable method of deleting the APN.

Still working fine here.

There are probably those that would prefer the phone to be on, so I guess you will need to remember to use airplane mode if you require it.

:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
Warren, I'm sorry but Bluetoothe IS definitely broken for me. Tried repairing...

It does not even last a second until it writes "unpaired" again after clicking.

If I try it the other way, pairring from radio to phone, the radio asks for PIN and about one minute later it drops an error message. "Connection NG" which means incompatible device with unknown error
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Are you posting about your device or mine? :D Back to 27/4 too.... But first let me throw in the new kernel on 27th build I see what happens..... :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
It sounds like you need a new data.img now. It's going to be easier than trying to sort out your notifications issue and may be the only way.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
But your old imaged was fubar'd anyway :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Why is everyone going backwards? 03/05 rocks :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
What is the point of making everything clean and then putting a potentially dirty img file back?

What is the point of restoring from a backup and then replacing the data.img?
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Will try Llama. What I meant data is that I want to switch it off without being worried and may turn back on :-)

I guess you misunderstood my problem. When you click power off it takes some time before the phone actually shuts down. You can see a window saying powering off on the foreground but the phone actually keeps working in the background. Calls can come in but there is no way to answer the phone is it is shutting down. So it is a bit annoying to hear the ring and not being able to do anything about that.

And any clues as to my Launcher Pro 'issue'?
[HD2 Android SD Development] azazellov:
I installed the May 3rd update yesterday, started with a fresh data img and data is definitely fixed.

It now behaves just the way it should: when data is lost, the data icon disappears and the voice signal icon is still there (before it would just show as if there was no signal at all). And even after being in the subway for an hour, as soon as i come out it regains data without me having to do anything.

It's also much quicker, before i had to toggle airplane mode a couple of times, then it would take sometimes up to 5 minutes to regain signal.

Also since the update to 2.3.4 everything seems much faster, it's a really great Rom now. I can't really find anything wrong with it. The only thing i still wish it had is wifi calling, but I read that Warren is working on it, and either way i can live without it.

The battery life is pretty terrible but I'm sure it has nothing to do with this ROM, my battery is just too old that's all. I think a lot of people don't realize that a phone battery is pretty much dead after 1 year, especially if the phone has been used a lot. Anyway even in windows Mobile 6.5 the battery life was mediocre at best, it's only a 1230 mAH battery which is really not enough, i mean even the Blackberry 9700 with its tiny non touch screen has a 1500 mAH battery.... HTC seems to always be cheap with their batteries.

Thanks again for all your hard work.

[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
reboot two or three times with the powerbutton reboot feature (not by pulling battery) it will normalize itself.

Note: CurrentWidget needs sometimes a bit longer to really refresh or the system needs longer to go asleep. for being sure let it sleep for at least five minutes bfore checking.

[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Its an old build anyway (27/4) which has been very generous to me. So will forget about the new kernel and use the proper kernel on 27/4. At this rate I will be stuck on 2.3.3 before 2.3.4 decides to become kind to me :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Well you should join us in testing. i always test new builds but I dont remove the build that works best for me. I just rename it and should the new rom under test not work its back to the working rom but simply renaming it android.I always test for myself coz other tester's observations can be very very different from mine.

Question on the May 3rd build

Hello there all brave beta testers!

Wanted to ask a quick question on the May 3rd build:

I understand that in this build connecting the device to USB will automatically turn it into mass storage and allow file transfer.

In the past, I've noticed that ROMs that behaved the same, made the device also go into mass storage when I connected it to a USB charger in my car. This would not allow to listen to music from the SD card while driving, for example.

I was wondering if any of you guys tried that on the May 3rd build and can share whether plugging to a USB charger in the car switches the device to mass storage or not (e.g. can you still access the SD card in this scenario)?

Many thanks!

I still use my original battery from HTC when I bought my device in Nov 2009. It has a tremendous battery life in WM using Dutty's ROM and 2.14 radio, and now that I followed the battery recalibration......With this Android Rom I only loose 3% in standby every 2 hours.......in WM I get even better results....But then you may need to get a new HTC battery if your planning on keeping your device for some time. :)

I am having some BT issues with the new build 03/05. I was able to pair one device but my regular BT headset (Jawbone Icon) won't pair. It did pair with the previous version. It just hangs when trying to pair. I have reset the device serveral times and no use. It still won't pair.

Is there also a way to remove a paired device. I can't see any options for this. In WM it was a breeze. I guess from other comments the BT needs some tweaking.

[HD2 Android SD Development] hensond67:
Ok thanks for reassuring me that it's not only an issue with me. Yea I'm gonna try those settings too and see how it goes. Let me know if it works out for you.

Cope or Warren, Would it be possible for you to guys to put the APN settings from 4/28 and lower in the build? I mean all the inputs are the same as the previous builds except for one thing. The newer builds from 5/1 has this extra "APN protocol" option in there, which may be causing the MMS issue? Here's a pic from user Sprintusa. It's of the APN protocol option that's been added
