What are you talking about??? There's been an ACA Nand build for some time now...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1209474

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

Maybe you're right so... please tell us; What's better when using a different kernel? What's better (performance wise), about the Dorimanx kernel?

Make a statement. Qualify it.

There are so many variables with our HD2's, what some of us experience, others don't and vis-versa. I don't suffer from data drops, or any instability, yet I've read some experience these frequently. Some time back, I thought I fixed the excessive (50-60mA) battery drain issue.... but whatever I did, or changed... it came back.

Back at v.5.7, I tried the Dorimanx kernel with this current build of ACA - but (personally), didn't think it made anything better. Also tried one of tytung's kernels... Ultimately went back to ACA kernel.

Maybe there haven't been any significant upgrades to CyanogenMod, and/or Cope & Warren are busy, but I'd guess that there will be another future update to ACA - when they're ready to release one.

Until then, personally... I think ACA with the ACA kernel is great as is. But, I have my own itches to scratch, and my battery is draining faster again - so - I though I'd play...

Just recently switched to a Miui build. It's very different menu-wise than CM builds, and (I really don't like that) it has no app drawer. GoLauncherEx fixes that. So I have a new SD Android HD2 to play with.

Numerous adjustments have reduced the sleeping battery drain back down to the 6-10mA range, and I'm using an ACA kernel with it - although tytung and dorimanx kernels are alternatively available to use.

This is a trial for me. As long as the battery isn't burning-up as fast @sleep, I'm happy. Maybe (probably) I could've accomplished the same with ACA. I'll probably be back...

ACA, Warren & Cope... thanks for everything !!! You guys are the best!

Find the kernel you want to use. Unzip contents. Replace the zImage file in the Android folder. Replace (or add the provided) modules files into the /system/lib/modules folder.

Find better instructions if mine aren't clear. (I'm still part noob). Be safe and make backups of any files you'll be overwriting.

Alarm as a playlist

I would like to set the alarm to play a playlist without a third party application. I don't like the limitations introduced with the loop mode, for example, minimum 5 minutes, otherwise, loop. Playlist would be perfect. But I don't know how to show the playlist as the alarm application entry. Please help!
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
I'm curious, and confused. Am I missing something? What's the point of a playlist as an alarm?

I thought - an alarm is a short term event. A notification.

A Playlist... is for more lengthy listening to a sequential number of audio tracks (or so I thought). So (once again), I don't get it. What's your point - What am I missing here?

Alarm as a playlist

If I want to set a 3 second chime to be repeated each hour, I end up with minimum 5 minutes looping sound.

If I want just one 7 minute song for the morning wake up, I would have to deal with looping problem again - my sound track has to be exact same length as the set alarm in configuration, otherwise it will be looped and/or cut.

Playlist with just one song seems to be a good workaround solution. Or an option to play the soundtrack a certain number of times or full repeats opposed to time length.

radio burnout? is it possible?

I've been on ACA for nearly a year, and been on MAR0812 since 3/8,

haven't had much of any major problem before.

here's the but:

but in the past two/three weeks I've seen cases where I pick up my phone and there's no cell reception. no bars of reception and just a small 'x' by the bars.

never had this problem before, and I don't think I've made any changes recently which would make this suddenly start.

anybody have any ideas?

Hi--

I've been having this problem for quite some time now. The "up" arrow gets stuck on green, and no internet activity is possible. The only ways out are to either reboot or reset the network. In either case (esp the network reset option), 95 times out of a hundred the thing just freezes up again. Is there a way to fix this problem? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Are you guys with data / issues / drops... Going into the Mobile Network Settings.. and setting up the Network type, The Access Point Names, and the Network Operators? - You shouldn't just trust the system to do this automatically for you.

I have nothing else to suggest. I switched out of ACA recently (after ten months of problem-free usage), but I'm still using an ACA kernel. AmericanAndroid SD builds are pretty damn solid, whatever your issues - you must be doing something wrong. Sorry to call it that way. I'm no expert, but... it was always a pleasure in my experience.
[HD2 Android SD Development] blackhumor918:
Agreed, always much better experiences than previous version. The latest 030812 is amazing. If any chance to save the battery consumption in the next build (hopefully), that will be the best SD more than ever.

idiocy

Ok, for those of us who are displaying the obvious idiocy out here, EXACTLY what are you talking about, and how do we go about changing these "obvious" settings? I, personally, have no idea how to go about this. Thanks for any input you can throw our way!
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Idiocy ???

I made no such accusations. If anything; It was a sincere question, intended to help. If you want to be self-deprecating, I won't partake or indulge you.

You've a brain - use it. Go through the Settings (Network) menus. If that's no help... I'm sure someone more capable of holding-your-hand may step up. If not, you can always find something else that works for you.

Edit: the 'Windows' button (center hard key)... brings-up the settings menus... but really, I hope you didn't need this from me. :)

Tried NAND and I need help going back to SD

I tried the NAND version of AmeriCanAndroid, I liked it but I could only get 200MB of space for the installed apps (the SD version has 1GB!)

so I tried to go back to the SD version and now it will not load.

I'm getting past the grey screen, the blue and black animation starts but does not complete (the Android figure is not doing full loops around the circle thing, only 1/4 of a circle and he keeps on trying...)

Any help will be appreciated, I'm lost!

I already tried formatting the SD card (didn't work)

I tried to flash another kernel, (didn't work and now I can't find ACA823 anywhere...)

when I flash CWM recovery, the NAND version works! I flash the MAGLDR and the SD version is not loading...

HELP!
[HD2 Android SD Development] mime:
SD version would work is you have WinMobile in NAND.

@shkedi : ACA-SD is NAND-aware...meaning: You need to have either another (non-ACA) Build in NAND and run ACA-SD from MAGLDR or flash back WM6.5...

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

I have to remind you that there are different physical HD2 plus circumstances (old SIM card, provider, SD-Card type) not to mention the settings which all have more or less an influence. Period.

I tried many SD-builds, several ACA-NAND (MAGLDR) on actual 2 physical HD2. I stopped entering APN manually after the automatic recognition(APN for O2) became better for my actual/old "Alice"-Provider APN because it was either working automatically and without any difference when i was entering it manually or it was not working at all like it was with the ACA-NAND 2012-0318. 0318 was a sad experience (just had the H or G but no data traffic was happening), forcing me to go back to ACA-NAND-20120-0119 (0119 worked with the same settings-approach), having the same experience like others with this "upgrade".... I am just saying, that i do not agree that i must be something wrong... i might not have found the missing setting , which would make ACA-NAND 2012-0318 run...and i bet my HD2 that you would not succeed with my phone,SIM and SDCard neither....

Bottom line: REALLY : "Yor result may vary" is more true than we would like it to be....

By the way: If i have trouble to connect (mobile data): i always switch to 2G and then back to 3G and/or GSM / WCDMA settings "to clear the pipe"
[HD2 Android SD Development] HeadMajor:
I agree that ACA is solid, and have been using it problem free for nearly a year. Every time I read posts about people having issues (drops or anything else) I always felt for them, because it always seemed to be slightly different solutions which worked or didn't work and what worked for one didn't work for the very next one. I figured it must have been maddening for them trying to solve whatever issues they had. Every individual combination of sim/sdcard/provider/radio/nand-os/etc seems to have a slightly different outcome and too many variables seemed to make every solution only a "might work for you" type situation.

I myself have had many opportunities to show off my ACA HD2 to other people on other newer native android phones and the features that are just baked in that I took for granted until I saw what other people lacked on "better/newer" phones. Even with my new data drop issue, I'm stickin' with my HD2 until the TMo Galaxy Note comes down in used prices (yeah that'll be a while since its not even out yet)

that being said, I've tried playing with the network operators, and have changed network preferences between Auto, WCDMA only, WCDMA preferred and none seem to have an effect. I don't want to play with the APN as I'm on an ancient tzones plan so I keep the old voicestream APN.

The thing that makes my drop issue so frustrating is that it popped up out of the blue. I'd already been on the MAR0812 build for a few weeks with no problems and then the drops issue just started occurring. But of course, that still doesn't rule out something that TMo might have done recently. Though I have the same problem both at work and at home (15mi apart)

oh well, will keep plugging away to try and find what will work for me.

I've got a second HD2 with a different radio which I just might try out to see if that has any effect. if so, maybe I'll change the radio.

hmm, maybe I'll try changing to a different SD card too...
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Yes, thank you. I'm aware of this. I sent the OP, trippster, a lengthy PM in answer to a query of his, in an attempt to provide further assistance. I know uzi2 has also given him a lot of good advice... he'll just have to work it out on his own. Fwiw, I don't mean to take an attitude with your reminder. I hardly need it. Well said though it may be; It's pretty obvious and has been mentioned ad infinitum... we all know this. One size doesn't fit all and YMMV. Great. :)

I only mean to say that one should try anything and everything they can to make it work. In most cases, this is a good solid build with no real issues.

I've had some problems & difficulties in the past. At one point (after doing some reading at the T-Mo forums, and calling up tech support), I found that it was the network - but they resolved their issues, and in time, and my data services came back to normal.

I've done fresh builds with fresh data.image files (typically I reuse my old data.image with the upgrades). I've changed to a new sim... as my original was eight years old. I'm pretty sure that helped... also upgraded my SD card. Still wish I'd bought a faster one than the one I have.

I don't think a class 2 card is cutting it for you. Better (at minimum) to use class 4, better still... class 6. I don't think class 10 is necessary.
[HD2 Android SD Development] HeadMajor:
funny that. I was going back and forth between a sandisk 16gb class 2 and a kingston 16gb class 2 until I accidentally broke the sandisk card in half...

but been on the kingston card for 6mo with no issues. it actually works better than an 8gb class 4 card I use as my alternate in my other HD2

though it seems I've read somewhere that these things just wear out over time?

been thinking about a 32gb class 4 or 6.

had not a single drop today... though doubt it was due to anything I did.

I agree, this ROM is fast, everything works fine, and I don't see how it could be better.

Try to reinstall everything.

It is necessary copy the folder "Android" and not files. The folder must be found in one piece.

As required, defragment or reformat your SD (sdformatter)

how would I know if TMo did something ... call tech support too? would they know about network changes?

this was magic. I added the 2G/3G toggle to the power widget yesterday when i had another drop (1st in 4 days) and after flipping the toggle, reception popped back immediately.

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

have another sd card you can try?

if it boots you can copy everything over to your normal use card.

not sure why, but I had this problem once while updating to a new release.

tried like three times with same result.

it booted fine on my other card, so after booting it a few times to let it settle, I copied the whole setup from the booting card to my normal use card and then it booted fine.

yeah, this probably isn't a normal solution, but it worked for me, so just another option in the bag of tricks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] düdldihüü:
So, after some time with the built I have to say that it is one of the fastest and best Androids for SD. But one thing bothers me: Somehow the changing of widgets/shortcuts on the home screens broke. I can add new stuff, but I can't delete, move, or edit stuff that is already on the screen. By tapping some time the phone vibrates as usual, but the menu that lets you change/remove/etc the widget doesn't pop up. Any ideas concerning this issue?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ribou:
I have not your problem.

I can add or delete any widget or shortcut.

You can try copy the folder Android into your PC, then delete that of SD card and re-copy from PC to SD.

Maybe corrupted files (have-you a backup of data.img ??)
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
It's common (IIRC, when making some changes), with a build upgrade, and reusing the old data.image file that homescreen widgets (not icons), will be 'broken'. Just delete the old placeholders and reinstall the widgets.

If you can't edit or delete (with a longpress) the old placeholders... I'd suggest a reboot... which you've probably done... or a reinstall, and in a worst case scenario (with your user apps & data backed-up with Titanium B/U or something similar)... Just start with a fresh data.image, reinstall your apps, and (unfortunately) you'll have to recreate your homescreens.

But then again, having changed builds, I might be a little rusty with my ACA advice. You'll get it, or someone more knowledgeable/experienced will chime in.
[HD2 Android SD Development] düdldihüü:
Well, I reinstalled the built, and for now it seems to work just fine. I hope I won't have to do it again.

[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Glad you got it düdldihüü. Maybe it might have been as simple as d3m0n1's good advice. I'm clueless about ADW, fwiw... I'd used ACA for ten months, the last nine of which were with GoLauncher EX. I switched early on. I thought it to be more flexible and full-featured than ADW lite. I've read ADW Pro is really good though. ACA's great, I just needed a change.
[HD2 Android SD Development] düdldihüü:
I'm not quite sure whether I should also switch to GoLauncher EX. I'm using ADW since it comes with the ROM and I first wanted to see how well it runs. But thanks anyways, d3m0n1, if it comes up again, I'll try what you said.

There is one more question, though: The Play Store tells me that some Apps (e.g. Facebook, Battery Indicator) aren't compatible with my phone. I can download the .apk and install it by myself, though, which is what I'm doing for now. But that is kind of inconvenient. That's the first time I have this problem with a ROM.

Edit: Oh, and another thing to bother you guys: How can disable the volume boost? When on the phone it is too loud, even on the lowest volume :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Fwiw, a launcher is just another app. If you change to a different launcher, it's not as if you're making some 'commitment'. You're just running a program. If you also download Launcher Switcher (or something similar). You'll be able to change launchers on the fly... going back and forth between them if you like... whatever suits your mood (or mind).

I would guess that 99% of anything you realistically want to d/l from the market IS available to your HD2. There are a small number of easy 'things' to do to make it compatible. You may have to do some of your own reading/searching/research on this thread to discover exactly how. Start with changing the lcd_density (in the startup.txt file in the /SDcard/Android directory) to =240 - it can always be changed back later (but don't use 167)... use 200 or 220 etc...

Power down > Restart. Also clear the market cache and data in the Manage Applications settings. If these alone don't do it... you have to do read a little more (it's not all 'fresh' in my mind), but everything is essentially compatible.

[HD2 Android SD Development] HeadMajor:
did you have an issue which needed help? if so, I'm not seeing the question. :-)

the funny thing is that ACA has by far the most comments/input of any SD build and nearly every question probably has been asked before. searching for it might be a little tricky and/or time consuming. but even if it is a repeat question, there's often someone who will chime in with helpful input.

[HD2 Android SD Development] trippster:
some assistance...hopefully

I had the same problem...well, I sort of still have it. It happened on one SD and frustrated me endlessly. In fact, I have addressed it in this thread several times, to no avail. The only ( albeit temporary) solution I have found is a network resetting app. Just look in the market for "network reset", and you'll find several.

The only more permanent solution I have found was a new SD card, with the latest build installed. It seems to be working so far (fingers crossed). I had to re-dl all my installed apps through dropbox via titanium, and have only had a couple of very minor problems in that regard.

Oh, and one other thing I did which might affect the outcome of all this was to do a "factory reset" of my hd2 before installing the new build on the new card.

Good luck, and I hope some of this helps!

Hi Tripp

Thank you for your reply

Yesterday I have bought new SD card & reinstalled the fresh new latest Android which was posted

here on first page & then replaced the date.img file back to the previous one & copy back all the files

which was on my previous card. So that I don’t have to reinstall all the apps & re-download all my mails , etc. But still the problem exists.

So should I do the overall process again & re-download the apps from the market 1 by 1 instead of using TB because I have done TB restore in the past but problem was still there.

This time I used TB pro to just backed up some of the main few apps + data which I will use TB to restore it such as contacts, sms, IM histories, mails + accounts

Other apps re download from the market.

What do you suggest.

Last point do you mean I should do factory reset in my win6.5 before installing android on sd card?

After installed android on SD card I always do factory reset once to twice before start using it.

Thanks for your advices.
