Just updated to 042011, wow super sweet. My phone for some reason has always been slow to boot, usually spends a few minutes at the green HTC (consistent will all builds). This build however Green HTC flashed for a second then stratight to fancy stuff.

Didn't have time today but I had major issues is Navigator, wasn't able to do voice recognition and stalled when trying to find GPS (other GPS apps worked fine) tried rebooting, reinstalling etc no diiffernce. Now works a treat.

My GF has given me back my car so will test the BT tomorrow.

Once again loving the ongoing innovation you guys are putting into this ROM.

p.s Dropbox is so much easier

unsuited question for this thread but as it is the most active thread, had2 do it.

hey...

iam using t-mobile HD2 :

ROM version-2.13.531.1

radio-2.10.50.26

protocol ver-15.39.50.07U

and i want to install android on my phone. i have been reading quite a few threads everyday but the more i read i guess the more confuse i get.

some say that u should use HSPL.. some are against it... some say that we should flash android from SD card , some are again against it..

WHAT I NEED

:-

1)i want to put android in my phone. preferably 2.2 froyo as i think that 2.3 mite be heavy for HD2.

2) i dont want dual OS. that is i just want android on my phone and not android and windows 2gethr.

please guide me. which steps should i follow...??

update: its iffy whether or not it wants to connect. sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. this is using the same two wpa2 wifi networks I have been using since this rom was first made...

@ mundea . Im confused as to.why the install instructions in the first post arnt sufficient for u?
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Forgive him Cope. S/he is a total noob. Like it was back in July/August 2010..... See he says he wants Froyo Nand and he is asking how to install in SD GB thread.... :eek:
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
who said he's wanting nand? he just said singleboot
[HD2 Android SD Development] mundae:
hey.. yes the instructions are very clear for me to follow but as i said 1stly i dont know if i should follow the NAND method or the SD method. and 2ndly is dual boot the only option...???

i shall be greatful if you could ans these two questions. rest i can follow the guide.

@play station

i know that it is the thread for flashing android through SD but as i said i found this thread the most active one so i thought of posting in this one. ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] chemass:
@Mundae

Your best plan is to run from the SD card until you're confident messing around with it.

NAND builds are great, but with SD builds, it's easy to swap to another build/implement updates etc.

most everyone on this thread is using Gingerbread 2.3.3 (THANKS Copes/Warren!!!) and it runs like an absolute dream!

You can get some great loaders for WinMo (search this site for exceller:)) which will allow you to load android easily.

So, until you're confident and ready to flash your NAND, use SD builds.

Have a pleasant day!
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
And how else do you get Android to boot on SD without dual boot? Unless you have Android in Nand and Android in Sd - which is still dual boot..... :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
Can't you just read the first post?

This build supports MAGLdr!!!

So yaou can directly boot into this ROM like it was a NAND build (but it isn't though and it does not modify the bootloader)

//Edit: Sorry I did confuse two posts >.<

For the poster above my post:

MAGLdr is a Loader which can be installed into NAND that can load eighter WP7, Android SD or Android NAND.

I for my Part have only AD SD installed. Search for MAGLdr

cope, you got a PM from me
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
I know that. Of course. Been there even with Winphone 7 and Sergio beautiful Android Nand rom then Ad Sd and then full cycle to where it all started - Winmo/Android combo. :p

But do you want to tell a guy who is even yet to do HSPL to start messing with MAGDLR/NAND. Nah, dont think so. ;)

HAPPY EASTER PEEPS :cool:

Taking my 20/4/11 Build for a spin for a whole uninterrupted long weekend :D But in case of anything my 11/4/11 build is sitting in the same Sd with a strange name ready to repossess its name should circumstances demand ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
MAGLdr is not complicated... easier than HSPL
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Yea... but if you are too lazy to even bother with those, SD builds running off a bootloader is so easy and non-****upmyphoneish.

OK, noob question... does booting off MAGDLR completely remove booting winmo out of the picture?

Second question: Has anyone seen any ICR software/apps out in the wild that actually work? I used the registry tweak to activate it under WinMob but I would love to use this feature without having to reboot back into WinMob.
[HD2 Android SD Development] fredbred:
SIM Toolkit

Does this Android build support SIM Toolkit? I need it to access secure messages from my bank (the bank is not really my, I just have an account there :-). Simcard is Okay as I can access them from WinMo under STK Services.

Many thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] xauzainhatvn:
Very happy if you put MIUImusic and MOBOplayer to replace for ther default Music and Video player.

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Likewise, when upgrading I always keep the last build I was using on my SD card just renamed
[HD2 Android SD Development] dtokez:
just tried out this other app, It connects after quite a while but my PC says connected with limited or no connectivity - still can't access the internet.

This is the only reason I can't use this as my main build but I really want to :(

Any suggestions?

I normally dont delete my previous downloaded zip files. They used to be available for download but Cope has since removed the links. You could consider shoting him a pm but its only necessary if you are having issues with the current build. Have you seen Page 550?
[HD2 Android SD Development] xavierh:
BT test

I just downloaded the build and did a quick test with my Motorola S9-HD headset and with this build it now works properly. still the controls int he headset do not work to stop and start the music but at least i am not having pairing issues.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
You guys allow me to drive crazy?

I was trying to get adhoc working for three days now and finally I saw that my compiled supplicants WORKED and I just forgot to set the supplicant EXECUTABLE!!

Well now here you are I ask you to try my modified build.

Cope I will post what I've done into dropbox. ;)

DOWNLOAD 042011_darkalex Build here:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15956519/AmeriCanAndroid_042011_darkalex.7z

It is exactly the same as copes previously posted 042011 Build just with other WiFi-Drivers.

Questions open:

-Which Encryptions do work?

-Which do work in AdHoc

-Are you able to connect to hidden SSIDs?

Thank you!
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
wont happen (sorry)

this is a pure GB leo build. nothing extra added in. if you want extras you add them yourself.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
And if that doesn't work, I'm sure you could PM Cope to see if he still keeps his releases archived.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
And if even that doesn't help I have some previous builds here, too.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dtokez:
no I don't, hardly anything installed its a virtually fresh new build :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] tarmizizain:
thanks for answering..there's none in the first post mentioned about previous build.. the latest build is just awesome,except for batt drains. i just want to try other build particularly 11/4. i read that the build has good batt's life.. maybe i'll try this(20/4) build for awhile,heard that after saveral boots the battery's life become more stable. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] lantern20:
The address I posted is the same tether app, just a more recent build.

Have you changed the Setup-Method to Softap (master)? I think this masks the ad-hoc mode shows it as infrastructure? Or on the other side, have you set your PC to connect to ad-hoc networks? I kept missing that for a while.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dtokez:
Thanks for the help. I have not changed any settings - could you talk me through it as I can't seem to find where you change the setup-method?

thanks again
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Well the typical idea is that SD cards are a bit laggy but barely noticeable in some situations. But NOT this build. This is the first SD build that runs faster and smoother than any android build I have used and even better than WinMob. So short answer: This is the best performing android build out there I would say. It just has no Sense. (no pun intended)
[HD2 Android SD Development] lewrydiboys:
How can I record my calls with this rom?
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
1 way should work, i just haven't added the 2-way which tytung offers in r9.

call recording sounds....creepy.
[HD2 Android SD Development] lewrydiboys:
Not it all. I use my phone in my business and it proves be helpful. I use to have nand rom in my phone but sometimes I get freezes and when I use windows everything goes fine.This is the best rom for SD, so I hope in next kernel the dev can provide two way recording.;)

[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
i knew i hadn't committed SOMETHING from my kernel source previous to 4/18. I swear I remember putting in the latest AOSP drivers ages ago. It was kinda a pain in the ass too, sooo ****, i'm gonna have to rework the source code at some point, i don't wanna release the next build doing what your doing above, mccmjoon status (simply replacing a file). LOL :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Yea, I use call recording for business too. I also use it for lying-ass customer service reps who love to tell you whatever you wanna hear.

Everyone has their personal must-have features and functions, and that one is mine. Once that gets fixed, added, tweaked, or whatever... I'm in heaven and will prolly contribute again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
sounds like i should port that code this weekend then. :-P
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
Sorry but I don't understand what you mean?

I just took latets build and replaced the two files with my compiled ones.

It's working perfectly for me.

I uploaded the files a (compiled) and an info documentation into the dropbox
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:

[HD2 Android SD Development] newbietruly:
Cannot connect hidden SSID

Hey dark alex,

I tried your compiled version of AmeriCanAndroid but my phone still can't connect to the hidden SSID. Did you format your microSD and do everything fresh? I've been using my old data.img (04112011). :confused:

EDIT:

Just for clarification, I can connect to broadcasted SSID fine with either Cope's/Warren's and dark alex's compiled AmeriCanAndroid.
[HD2 Android SD Development] xavierh:
the wifi issues are very strange indeed because I tested the build this mooring and both my BT and wifi work properly with no issues. Granted I do bradcast my SSID...
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
Well I just put the modified files in using adb...

and for the public release I mounted the system image and replaced the files manually.

This action was for me to have adhoc support back what cope and me were trying now for about one week.

don't know about impact to other features, that's why I asked.

But it didn't work in previous build eighter did it?

If you say it worked in Apr13 we should compare the two supplicants... I know what makes the adhoc work in cyanogen version so it is probably an idea to take the Apr13 version but without adhoc fix and just fix adhoc on my own. But there fore I would need the sourcecode of the last working wifi without adhoc fixes

cope, warren?
[HD2 Android SD Development] benpaddlejones:
In TB is a backup for "[Desktop] ADW Lancher" turn it on for backup, when you recover it will only give you a 'Data' option that is your homepage. It does not seam to recover the theme setting, thats a quick click in ADW settings.

issues with 4/18 build

hey...

i successfully installed the 4/18 build in my hd2 yest.. for the first time.

the speed is good... it does not hang at all... but there is this severe problem which iam facing..

almost like in anything and anytime the applications or processes stops working.

for ex. i opened the settings for keyboard and the process terminated, i tried to download an app from market and after few seconds it also crashed, etc.

and its not persistent... when i try again it sometimes works and sometimes not. :confused:

can anyone please help me with it..??

iam using tmobile HD2.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shost:
SIM Toolkit is among programs in drawer like any other applicaton.

Reboot a couple times... if that doesn't fix issue seems you have some particular issue that may require fresh format and install. I'm running stock tmo with latest stock rom.

do you think i should update my ROM.?
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmeriCanAndroid:
sorry

aparently the RightToLeft mod being offered via the user based 'post 3' .. a few weeks back now..

was done by a user named jaguaralani and we were giving credit to someone else..

this was an oversight and totally my fault for not getting all the information when I added it to the 3rd post (not something anyone on the team maintains.. thats why it says user maintained). (now the support for RTL is built into the cyanogen git so this is no longer needed from this thread) however -

thankyou jaguaralani for the use of your work.

If you used his work please send him a thankyou.

if it is a particular app that is causing you greif uninstall it. reboot. then re install it. this should fix any fc issues you are having.

(alternatively you can move it to sdcard.. clear data.. then move it back to phone clear data.. and BAM no more fc's)

[HD2 Android SD Development] mundae:
thanks.. as of now there is no problem....

and the problem was not in a single application.. it was there in MANY applications.. ;)

as of now i have rebooted android 2-3 times.. everything is working perfectly...

will post as soon as i get stuck again..!!

thansk every1 for their support... :cool:
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmeriCanAndroid:
.......i could have saved you a lot of time. if this ever happens again,

just copy the fix_permissions.sh file from the downloaded files (build.7z)

to your /sdcard/android/HERE folder, and reboot into android

dont touch anything for like 5 to 10 minutes. your device will power down on its own. then when you boot it back up, you will have no more fc's.

this info has been discussed several times already, hopefully if you ever need it, it will save you some time :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] mundae:
hey..

thank you... the information was usefull...

the phone is working fine but still i did it..just in case... lol ;)

rest i will also be waiting for the latest build. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmeriCanAndroid:
hmm

after I said that ...i double checked something.

the fix_perms script is set to only run for bkup2sdext users....

and to be honest this applies to all users.. so...

i have made the adjustments already, and any build after the 04........ you know what it will take my like two seconds to make the changes and swap the build in the drop box.. ill update it.

gimme a sec.

you dont have to dl it.. but the next build you have the fix_perms script on build update should run properly for all users. wow.. no one caught this?

lol
[HD2 Android SD Development] mundae:
so i guess you mean that it did no good to me..?? ;)

and there is another problem.. the led never goes off.. it is always greeen... sometimes even while charging.. then i remove the pin and put it in again and it changes to red... then if i remove the pin, the led mite go off n might not...

its like the led decided what to do... ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] tophechris:
A small contribution about my use of AmeriCanAndroid.

I am using it daily for months already with great pleasure. As you already know, the major limitation I found is about data connection.

I am now using the 18 April built and I noticed great improvement on this side. I suffered from regular data cut with the 13 April built, even in area with 3G. But with the 18th built data is much more stable (but I can't say if faster).

One of bothering issue was data cuts when using in the subway. I have a 30 min journey to go to work and with the 13 April (and prior) built, it was too unstable for me to be able to read newspaper or check email. But with the 18 April built, if I set on 2G only, so the connection is stable enough, and I often even face no cut of data during my whole trip (what never happened in similar condition with previous builts). When out of subway, I set on 3G+2G again and I am back with full speed data connection. Just to say the issue may only be on the switch between 2G and 3G (this happens often in Paris subway).

GPS was working fine in 13 April built (even if a little long to catch position), but I haven't tested yet on the 18 April built.

I don't have sufficient experience on bluetooth use to make a comment. I know it work with my bluetooth headset but I didn't check battery drain.

I'll test soon the latest built.

Thanks again Cope and Warren for your fantastic built !
