Hi all !

First let me apoligize for the extra off-topic but I really want to ask you this !!

Coppenwarren what do you think about a porting on the HD2 of this beautiful rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1036446 maybe on SD ?

I state that I don't even know if this is possible and I also apoligized if I have asked something that you don't want to be asked !

Help!

I have upgraded from a clean install after formatting my partitioned SD and new data.img - and replacing it wit old data.img - but I got every day 30-60 files on SD named DiskCacheIndex.tmp!!!

What is it and what can I do ?

Don't ignore me. Please!
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Probably a problem with your old data.img. Backup your apps and settings with Titanium Backup. Let Android create a new data.img and restore your apps.

Problem should be fixed then.
[HD2 Android SD Development] drleni:
I did it before my post...
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I've done a quick search on Google for you...

Do you have the app 3D Gallery installed?

If so it is likely to be responsible.

If not then you should run through all your more unusual apps until you find the one that isn't cleaning up after itself properly and consider reporting it to the dev.

Great Rom. The speed is great and everything seems to be good with the exception of the data issue. It worked well for me on 4/11 version. Yesterday I upgraded to the 4/13 version and can rarely connect.

I used my old Data image. Is that the problem? I hate to have to start from scratch.

Maybe I did things in the wrong order? I unzipped android, dropped in my old data image using a card reader and reinserted it into the phone and booted.
[HD2 Android SD Development] drleni:
Thank You very much!

Yes, I have Gallery ++, I uninstalled it now and deleted 1220 DiskCacheIndex-files - i'll check what will happen...
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
data

Same here, I also have the impression that data was better under APR 07...

But then on the other hand I used my APNs dns settings in the build.prop back then, that might very well be the reason...
[HD2 Android SD Development] reijkelhof:
I went from darkstone SuperRAM Sense v0.1 [kernel: Hastarin EB] to this android rom yesterday.

I am very pleased so far. it's faster and far less troublesome.

I'm sold.

I found one however under etc and system/etc, but it just shows the standard google servers that are also in my build.prop...

Is there another way to find out these settings (googling didn't help) or will this file somehow, sometime magically appear?

-really? i posted EXACTLY how to do this a couple of days ago.

no one

ever said the build.prop should get updated automatically with dns entries.

-the resolv.conf file isnt used anymore to house the dns entries.

su

getprop

look for net.ppp0.dns1(2)=X.X.X.X

please do some reading.
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheSkepticalGuy:
they are using one build for both T-Mobile and Non-TMobile customers.
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
Sorry man, its even in the same post as the thing I was referring to... :o

But to my defense regarding your second point, there is some kind of wording above that could make one think that something gets over written, as in updated to build.prop...

So just to get it cristal clear, I do not need to add the correct server settings at the end of the build.prop as the system "overrides" them anyway?

I have the strange feeling that data isn't as stable as when I had the dns servers in the build.prop. But that might just be paranoia, especially since I found the dns settings with above command, so clearly the system has got the correct ones somewhere...

I will put them in anyway and see.

Thanks and again, my apologies!
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikelees2:
Ok. I've had this build running for some time now and still having data problems. When I'm working I have a lot of towers close by but is seems that when I chooses to drop the convention its hard to get back.

sure have. it frustrated me enough, after i worked on it with borrowed time, that i shelved working on a newer kernel base.

in fact i've kinda been out of the equation for a bit.

planning on coming back to full development capacity here soon, but that time period is variable considering how much i've got going on in life at the moment.

Camera Info

Hi all - Initially my camera wasn't working on Android, but was on WinMo. I had my phone with me on a trip this week and then got a message that the camera failed to initialize on Winmo. I thought I was going to have to reflash my phone. BUT, I did a search and determined that the problem under Winmo was running Opera. I uninstalled Opera and the camera works under Winmo. I need to reformat my SD because I haven't been able to get my Android to load...Once I've done that, I'll dump Opera and see if that was what was causing the problem under Android. So, if anyone has a sporadic (or permanent) problem with the camera - it may be because of applications which hog up a lot of memory. Good thing for alternative browsers (Dolphin SD works well).

[HD2 Android SD Development] agtokc:
I'm just speculating but... alot of the data issues could be network side and have nothing to do with the build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] t-mizzle:
True. Between the build, the hardware, the networks and how they interact with each other there are many factors. I used to lose data when I ran winmo albeit at a slightly lower disconnection rate.

I noticed that my data link is much more stable when my speed is throttled following exceeding the monthly data cap.

I can't quite put a finger on it, certain data usage habits cause the drops to be much more frequent. I had a stable connection for the past 5-6 hours yet before that I experienced 3 disconnects in a 5 minute frame.
[HD2 Android SD Development] asmd6230:
Yep.. i get the same thing and more often than not it wont reconnect.

also anybody experiencing frequent signal loss (no service)? i lose signal even when its in my pocket. thinking that it was th network, ive run winmob all day in the same locations as i use this build but i havent loss the signal.

looking forward to the next build which will solve the data drops.

regards,

asmd.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikelees2:
Yes I get the drop while in my pocket as well. I have a lot of towers around me as well. I think it has to be something in the build because I don't have that problem with the normal os. This build is still the best Evan with the problems. They will get it it just takes time.

GPS reception

Thanks for the work, love your Android releases. I have one problem that doesn't change with the last versions and it is GPS reception.

I use faster fix to change the initial region, I use GPS Status and Tools to download A-GPS Data and yes I try it outside but the first fix when ever I use my navigation software or the GPS Status Program is very slow, over 5 minutes.

I looked into all the posts tried everything but found no solution.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
Well I must say the data certainly seems better, it dropped for me once last night but I've been travelling for 45minutes today and it would normally have dropped 2-4times on this journey but has not dropped once today. Heck I'm posting from my phone right now. Good work!
[HD2 Android SD Development] yuhenyo:
whenever I use this build, initially, my lockscreen and my call and home buttons would work. Then it would reboot. After that, the lockscreen doesn't show when i press the "end-call button". then the call and home buttons don't work at all. are there others that are experiencing this? How do you fix it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
Of course no sooner do I say that I sit down at work and it drops, d'oh!
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
You are describing normal behaviour for a first boot using a partitioned card. Just leave it alone for a few minutes and all will be well.

[HD2 Android SD Development] yuhenyo:
That's good. I was worried that it wouldn't work.. Exactly how long is the average waiting time for these things?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
5/10 mins max.

you should see the green HTC logo,

then the american android silver writing with the android and the scrolling flags.

and finally the american android writing above the cyannogen7 mod logo (this bit takes the longest)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
He's already past this stage and the phone has booted up. It's being unresponsive as it is busy backing up stuff to the ext parttition.

Hopefully it's all working well now yuhenyo?

you may remember i posted a couple of days ago about when i was playing around with a task killer the "maps" was running 4 times and using 5mb for each process.

i just wondered if anyone knew why it was running or how it started up 4 times?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kypeth:
might be wrong, but I believe that you DO NOT want to use any kind of task manager/killer. They are known to cause issues with builds 2.2+
[HD2 Android SD Development] 2b2b:
;-) maybe You never tried "history" during the last month or so - worked kind of, but lagged up to 30 seconds.. - rest of the widget was workin fine.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Rollo82:
i look for that widget for a long time, the only one i found was the launcher pro plus widgets, but it cost 2.99$. i bought it because i really like launcher pro instead of adw launcher...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Rollo82:
new data.img = reinstall all? nooooo... i'll use a widget :D

your not alone, i'm having this issue also. uk t-mob customer
[HD2 Android SD Development] paul211b:
I am on UK Vodafone. I am hoping this fix will be in the next release.

Please remove the button savoiur app and add led me know to the build.

Cheers guys.
[HD2 Android SD Development] paul211b:
Also does anyone know why I can't run any games from my SD card. They all force close until moved to the phone memory. Just tried Angry birds.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Some games just need to be installed to the phone. Others don't. It's also not just games, some apps also need to be installed to phone memory. That's the way it is, nothing anybody can do about it.

If you don't want button savior, don't install it. You can take it out of the android apps folder in your Android folder before your first boot or you have to deinstall it and take it out of said folder if you already bootet. What's the big deal about that? I love button savior, so do many others. What should cope do? Make two builds so everybody is happy?

Same with LED me know. Right now you only need it as a workaround for the green LED issue which should get fixed some time in the future by the cyanogenmod team. Cope had it included in some builds and naturally there were people that asked him to exclude it again.

Live with it. It only takes a minute to get everything the way you like.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Flash the newest Radio. 2.15.50.14
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Reinstall with new data.img and also make sure you are using the newest Radio. This shouldn't be happening.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cmillens:
Come to think of it, that's exactly how I did it too. First boot, extract the given framework-res. Then add the circle mod and start over with a clean format and the new framework-res in root/system/framework and then boot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cmillens:
Try People Widget. Its missing the header that Sense has but works and looks similar.
[HD2 Android SD Development] prinzipal:
try colorize widget from the market. it's free and has all the widgets that you need. facebook, contacts, agenda etc.

Awesome build, I've finally decided yesterday to format my SD (where the "old" 02/16 build was installed) then do the partitioning as indicated in the FAQ, then install the new build (with swap partition).

So far so good, everything works fast and smoothly :cool: ...

By far my favourite sd build !
[HD2 Android SD Development] Rollo82:
i don't know way, but when i tried titanium backup it doesn't work...

for a battery indicator i don't want to risk...

i'll wait for next build.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Pedro G:
I text a lot. And I've been using the HTC_ime keyboard, which I like very much. Problem is after I've been texting awhile I noticed the little orange highlighted box that predicts the words you're typing goes away. Actually that whole strip with the list of possible words just stays gray. The only way I can get it to work is by rebooting my phone. Is there some setting to fix this?
[HD2 Android SD Development] farangdang:
I've got the same problem with LONG FIRST BOOT. I have the same radio version that you have listed on yours so assume I'm good in regard to that. However, 20-30 minutes seems a long time for a first boot. Any of the roms I've gotten to work managed to boot up within 15 minutes or less, so I guess I'm stuck.

I have been running Nexus Gingerbread nand and MCCM Froyo SD, on my TMOUS HD2. With American Android it gets past the HD2 flash, then to the American Android with cyanogen(mod) flashing, and then stops with just the American Android screen, and hangs up there.

When formatting the sd card I didn't see any options for block sizes. Is that important? Thanks to anybody for any suggestions on the first boot hang..........

Quick edit after pulling head out of a dark place......

I got a bit lost in the FAQ and install instructions, and missed the bit about the rootfs.img.sdmagldr. Once I copied that and the startup.txt it booted right up.

Nexus Gingerbread nand

MCCM Froyo SD

Magldr 1.13

CWM 3.0.0.5

1GB ext

256 swap

14 GB+ fat32

[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
You gotta kill the keyboard and restart it in settings >language and keyboard >htc_ime settings > kill keyboard (at bottom)... this will restart it for a while until it freezes again

theres a flaw somewhere, and reinstalling it doesnt help either. i got fed up with it so downloaded better keyboard 8
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
Don't know what I did differently, but since the last few builds I have not seen this behaviour...

There are also 2 versions around, at least one is named slightly different and maybe it also has to do something with the app called clicker, which when I recall correctly form installing the htc_ime keyboard for the first time a few months ago, on another build, that you would also have to install.

Just guessing here...

Underclocking ?

After reading previous posts about how to control the cpu frequencing, i understand it's not possible to overclock the kernel of this rom.

This is no problem for me because due to battery drain issues, i would rather be interested in UNDERCLOCKING, such as 245Mhz in sleep mode and 460Mhz maximum during daily usage.

3 methods i've tried (Cyanogen settings, SetCPU and Overclock widget) all failed to permanently change the max setting. It always turns back to 998Mhz quickly.

Unticking the Perflock driver in SetCPU doesn't help either.

I want to scale between 245 and 460 only. Does someone have a hint for this?

Most games need to be run from the phone. Go to setting and applications then manage applications. Check to make shore its running from phone and not the sd card. If its running from the sd card click on the run from phone. This should work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] g3k:
Some games are installed on SD card by default... and FC when run or even after running.

This issue is not depending on G-sensor functions.

Pocket Soccer for instance: is installed on SD card. When you run it, it will not crash at first. But once you set the teams, difficulty etc and start the match, you will see the force close message instead of the gameplay screen.

Moving the app to phone memory solves the problem.
