Just sharing :) I been using this ever since i got my HD2 and still is now. Many thanks to the one that created this. (Sorry if i have forgotten who he is.) Might as well share it.

PS: I know there's an updated version of SWkey on the market.

EDIT: having problem playing my MP3's. Everytime I copy Mp3 unto my SD card. My phone wont read it. Well, hope there's a solution anywhere. :)

Solution : Use a sd card reader in copying Mp3. While in Android while copying, Mp3 will be corrupted. ( that is on my part of course, I dont if I'm the only experiencing this )

I'm having issues putting stuff on my phone. I spent the last 2 hours trying to add some new music and movies and nothing is showing up on the Music or Movie players. It's weird because I added music last nite and it was showing up and working fine, until I reset my phone and now nothing new that I added unto my phone wants to show up.

I seem to have the opposite problem from others. I have edited my build prop file and rebooted a couple times and the density is still 167 instead of what build prop shows which is 220. Is the startuptxt running everytime or only on the first run?

Newbie - sd won't mount

Hi, been using ACA since April and just decided to partition my SD card. I did it as per the instructions from post 1426 using panasonic formatter and minitools partitioner. I have a 16gb sdcard and partitioned it as follows in the correct order.

formatted with panasonic - 15275mb

partitioned to 14051mb primary Fat 32

partitioned to 1024mb primary Ext 3

partitoned to 200mb locigal linux swap

hit apply and all went well. Windows can see the fat 32 and so can winmo.

when I installed aca 080111sd it works great and now runs like a rocket. However, when I tried to install all my progs from Titanium backup it wouldn't work. A quick check on settings>storage shows my SD size as unavailable. I can get to the SD using file explorer but I cannot get the card to mount so can't store to it or read photos/music of it. :(

Can anyone help please :)

VOIP

Has anything happened regarding libaudio.so on cyan side?

I just had a viber and then a normal GSM call after updating to AUG01 without yet overwriting the file and my phone didn't crash. DSP Manager crashed though, resulting in a strange cracking loud ring tone right after the Viber call, but it only lasted for 1 sec before it restarted itself and the following calls where all good, without a reboot.

BTW, anybody else hearing robo style voice on viber? It doesn't seem really ready yet, at least not for our HD2s...

There was a bug, introduced with 2.3.4, from cyanogens side, with copying files over usb, while in Android. It worked over winmo or using a cardreader. As far as I know, this bug is still there.

Copying files over Bluetooth should work, too.

As soon as you connect your phone over usb as mass storage, your phones system is unable to use the sd. Your phone turns into a card reader.

In case of the sd builds, that is a problem, since your system is running from sd, too.

It worked anyways with the builds before 2.3.4 but then stopped working.

There are apps in the market that allow the system to use the sd card, while it is connected over usb. Those apps are meant for "real" Android phones or NAND builds where the system is not running from sd. Those apps also work with the sd build. However, there is a danger of corrupting the sd card and therefore render the whole system unusable, forcing a fresh install.

You could try one of those apps but I suggest you use a cardreader instead to copy your files or do it over an online service like dropbox. If you have the hardware at home, you could also use a private network which would be faster than doing it over the internet.

What will happen to all my contacs, SMS, calendar etc.?

[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
I actually never had that issue with copying files to and from my sd card and them showing up right. I use this function daily for the avi's I like to watch on the train ride to work. I also use the music players on the device as my main mp3 device. So I'm updating music and vdeo files on a daily basis and never ran into any issues before and after that update. Weird though, because I know others in this thread that had the issue.

check what value is in startup.txt, line lcd_density=xxx, it is possible you have 167 there, in which case it is being reverted after each boot
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
yes, works quite ok, the only thing which does not restore on my device are homescreen widgets, rest works perfectly

also - opinions vary - but during restore of system setting rather stick only to the green items

do you mean it is not showing up on your music library? you can scan or rescan media again on demand with Aditya's Rescan Media .
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Ok - reporting back. Editing the density in the startup txt file worked. I'm assuming that the startup file is overwriting manual edits to the build prop file. This might affect other items which are included in the startup file. That is, if you are making edits to the build prop and a different value is in the startup file, your edit to build prop may be overridden. ~kris
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Careful. In creating a new image, contacts and messages will generally be lost unless you use a program to back them up and restore them. I use two programs from market to do this. Will edit to add their names...

Ok - it's Call log backup and restore and SMS backup and restore. ~Kris
[HD2 Android SD Development] xavierh:
that's how i do it, the only system data that I backup is the launcher data which has how my home screens are setup and thats it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Titanium will backup those files. No need for extra apps. Just untick the stuff written in red and backup the rest.

Doesn't hurt though, to have an extra backup made with some other app.

Your contacts can also be synced with your google account. In that case you will never lose them again. ;-)

And always save a copy of your last data.img. In case anything bad happens, you can always go back to the last build that was working for you. Very important, when you find out, that the latest build, for some reason, doesn't work for you.

Hebrew language option wanished from Android Keyboard 2.3.5

I installed the new build of 2.3.5 from 080111 and found out that a lot of languages were gone from the options of the Android Keyboard, between them also Hebrew which I use together with English. The only solution I found was to restore the 2.3.4 Android Keyboard I backed up with Titanium and then Hebrew showed up and is usable.

But why did this happen and what should I do to be aable to use the new 2.3.5 Keyboard? Any help will be appreciated - Thanks.:confused:

re: lcd change / startup.txt & magldr

noted the issue.

will look into this tonight.

first flaw is that magldr doesnt read the startup.txt

so.... while im working .... ill ponder on this.

shosts... thoughts? - as magldr never reads the startup.txt to the cmdline we can't find the variables stored there.....

perhaps we can read the right info from the startup.txt and process it the same way we do the sd build (in the init.android file) but call if all from one of the init files?

ill ponder till i get home.

this is interesting. dont know if I can really do anything with it however

it is a good clue to help track the problem down. Something SOMEWHERE in the build is looking for a bravo.......

After you guys warned not to mess with the buildprop cause it can mess things up i never did it again, i'll take you guys word for it :)

I always do everything from scratch when a new build comes out i don't mind taking the time to reload everything that way i know its starting fresh and i have minimal problems, installing new build now!

Thanks guys!

I just put the new build on my testing SD card to test it out and see if the issue with data coming on when it's supposed to be off... AND THE BUG APPEARS TO BE GONE!!!:eek::D:D Thank you so much Cope and Warren... this build is now pretty much perfect for me. I haven't really tested the build too thoroughly yet... just spent around 5 minutes to make sure rogue data bug was gone. That bug was the only major problem I had and it was driving me crazy and caused my battery to drain at around 20ma on standby. Now that it's solved, I'm hoping my battery drain will go back down to 4-6ma on standby like it was in builds before that bug appeared.

THANK YOU Cope & Warren for your continued work on this build and your dedication to keep improving it... it just keeps getting better. I have never been as content as I am with this build, and you keep it interesting and exciting by constantly updating and adding new features. Keep up the great work! :)

AmeriCanAndroid SDCARD partitioning guide - revision 3.308 (lolz)​

(special thanks to nzxtneo for saving the original guide from the dark abyss where all lost data goes)

Before you start:

-download& install MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition (for use in windows) - free $$

-download & install panasonic sdformatter utility from panasonic website. manual

Start:

-load your sdcard as a removable device (either with a card reader or in winmo connection settings "usb to pc" set to diskdrive) you will see it apear in windows explorer.

-save everything off your card cause your about to wipe it clean. Ext/Linux partitions and all.

Open Panasonic SDformatter Utility

warnings:

-backup all your data first

-pick the right drive letter.. ! (dont mess this up)

-remember; even though the size box shows only the size of your fat32 partition its gonna wipe everything

-format your card with quick format and resize option on

close panasonic sdformatter tool

**if all you want is ONE BIG FAT32 partition.. then you are done now :)**

open minitool partition wizard on your pc

-choose your sdcard (make sure your not doing this to your pc hard drive!!!)

-click on the big fat32 partition and choose resize.

-put the number (N) from your calculations with its decimal points in the "partition size" box for your fat32 partition. click okay.

-click the grey unallocated space in your sdcard and

-create a Ext3 primary "4 K sector size" label it "Ext" choose a size (this is where we are going to store our backup data. Give it the size in mb you calculated for your ext partition. size ie: 1024mb. click done

-again click the grey unallocated space left in your sdcard and

-create a linuxswap primary partition. choose a size (use what's left of your sdcard.. i had ~130mb left) click done

now apply all the actions you just setup. In the top left corner there is a blue apply button press that to apply.

minitool will create your sdcard the way you set it up. very quickly too i must say.

when done, close the mini tool.

close minitool partition wizard

-copy your backed up sdcard data (ie: Android folder) back to your mem card. unmount your sdcard as a removable device (put back into device etc)

and boot Android.

** the following video doesn't use the sdcard formatter to create the fat32 partition..

I STRONGLY recommend you do not follow the video but the instructions above for the fat32 partition. **

there is a video of a guy doing eXACTLy what I'm talking about here (you're watching for the ext and linux swap directions)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyO6DOS1leQ

This provides android with space for a swap file, extra internal memory, and a safe journaled filesystem to place a back up on ;) . This process does not require a lot of effort (easy and safe too, if you can follow instructions)... and at the same time it increases the performance of your android device.

i turned off haptic feedback but still vibrate :(

and one more question :

i read faq "From build up 021611 if there is swap partition found - it’s by default mounted and used." but when i check "free" by "Terminal Emulator" , it's show :

Swap

total 265064

used 0

free 265064

, how can i use my swap partition ?

HI AmericanAndroid!

Your rom's are just great! thanks for it!

My only problem with Android right now is:

1. Love the HTC Dialer! (Due to its fantastic smartdial)

2. Love the GB LockScreen/Incoming Call Lock screen!

I hate the Lockscreen of HTC Desire HD/Z roms as they are the "slide down" system, which gets engaged very often in my denims pockets! either when an incoming call is there or in general too.

so my quest is... Can i have this rom with HTC Dialer? or Can you provide a way to install the Lockscreen u use, into HTC Desire HD/Z roms?

Thanks a lot!

PS: Love the high resolution display now on ur rom!

if the htc dialer is a standalone app that can exist outside of a htc sense build, then I can't see why not.

FAQ!

If there will be ALL zeroes - it means 'we don't use swap'.

If there is total: SOMETHING other than zero it means ' WE USE SWAP'

Swap is used in as a last resort - don't expect USED to be other than zero if you have plenty of RAM free.

This is Linux, not a ****ty Mac Or Win. Memory management is just well done.

Cope I am with you 110% as stated above. I have two batteries (original), I have a car charger and I have a spare charger in the office. With my 2 batteries I get by on a day to day basis. But my problem is I dont see 3-5mA like you!!!! :(

Instead I see all manner of inconsistent usage things like 76, 24, 45, 77, 11, 14, 45, 110, 45, 14, 14 mA. :( Why am I so unlucky? At first I had made a mistake I had left by BT on winmo side. Yes I am running your rom the old fashioned way.....

And the only thing that is on full time for me is data on as I leave gtalk, twitter and facebook on. Wi-fi off, BT off etc. But surely this is Gingerbread which is reputed to have better power management....

So now I will give you a story. The other I decided to test a rom that looks and feels exactly like this just for the heck of it. Deep down I know it is the exact same rom save for a theme with pretty girls. But one thing it uses differently is the kernel!!!! ;) You know the rom I am talking about. Reminds me of a certain German Defence Minister and his PhD thesis...... :D

On testing the rom I get better battery drain! So I did 2 things - I threw in Warren's kernel in that rom. And guess what? Battery drain increased. Then I threw in the kernel from that rom in our rom here (24/2) and you guesed it, battery drainage improved! :eek: So you ask why then dont I run our rom with that kernel. Simple answer that kernel here has very bad data connection. I had to hit airplane mode now and then. And the arrows dont show any colour.

I know that simple test may not be conclusive but I have reason to believe that Warren's kernel is perhaps to blame for higher battery usage. Dont worry I dont mean the latest kernel - I am still downloading 1/3/2011 rom. I am hoping that I will get lucky with 1/3 rom. But please investigate.... Sometimes you can get good things amongst the replicas..... ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] t-mizzle:
Even if we were all to have identical apps, batteries, SD cards, settings and usage habits, logging the power drains, we would still get different results. Location and reception quality has an impact that is often underestimated.

Move in with cope, follow him all day long and do exactly as he does and yet the results would differ regardless.

At this point, battery life changes, for better or worse, come from CM7, cope and warren have little room to make improvements afterward.

As for CM7 site, look at the list of supported devices, then search the CM for Leo or HD2 specific posts, 0 results. Warren has a tough job improving the kernel any further...
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
If I was a "female blonde tall and gorgeous..) lolololol" I would "Move in with cope, follow him all day long and do exactly as he does". ;) Perhaps I would get battery usage at 3-5mA. If not I would convince him to exchange his device with mine...... :cool:
