cope/warren/americanandroid,

Is there any chance you can put the instantaneous GPS fix found in this thread in the next release.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953630

There are specific fixes for certain regions, but at least for the US release, maybe you can put in the North American fix.

Noob Market and Partition Questions

I just installed the Mar 10 build. I did not partition my SD card. Can someone tell me:

1. It seems that the switching of screens is extremely slow. Will adding a Ext3 sd-ext partition and a linuxswap partition speed things up?

2. Can I simply copy my existing files from my SD card to my PC, format the card, add the partitions and then recopy everything back on to the fat32 partition?

An oddity that I've experienced with this build is that Market no longer shows the installed apps after a reset. It shows a list of my purchased apps, plus these "Free" apps: YouTube, Flash Player 10.1, PhoneWeaver Trial, and Google Maps. All of these apps, plus the purchased apps, plus several free apps ARE installed and working properly. Anyone else have this happening?

Thanks in advance.

keeps hanging on Cyanogenmod screen

Hee guys,

could someone help me out ?

ik took the following steps:

1. copy'd AmeriCanAndroid to my SD card

2. Opened it with MAGLDR V1.11

3. Boot at SD

then when cyanogenmod keeps coming op it keep hanging.

:confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
This has been chasing me and annoying me since the build got upgraded to 2.3.3(not sure if its that though).

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE....someone help me.

Formated SD card, did CLEAN BOOT, fresh DATA,etc.....

ANYONE ELSE FACING THIS????

whenever I write something and I double tap on the word, it acts like a long tap so it opens that cut/paste menu instead of the "word choice menu?

ANYWAY TO FIX THIS? ANYONE ELSE FACING THIS?

It's been HUTING ME and driving me crazy me for a week now and I am dying, everytime i want to fix a word, the cut/paste menu comes up and is a HUGE HASSTLE.

PLEASE HELP. I posted about this twice a few times back but no one replied.

FAST DOUBLE TAP = LONG TAP (WEIRD!!!)
[HD2 Android SD Development] HaPeWe:
I asked him in the corresponding thread, but got no answer. I suspect because it is a nearly unchanged MDJ FroYo HD v4.4 with an other Kernel.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Today is the day I am upgrading... finally. =) I will post back with my results...
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Hmmm... i changed long time delay to 1000ms and now doubletap=edit/pase and log tap = mark, add, insert template etc.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I'm not sure I can help, but I think it must be 2.3.3 related as even Swype are having issues with it - "Due to incompatibilities with new features added to Android 2.3.3, we have disabled double-tap-to-edit IN ANDROID 2.3.3 ONLY. This ONLY effects Android version 2.3.3" - This is taken from the latest beta update notes.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
oh..... is that why?

how can i fix that?

I want double tap to select a word, so that the "word choice menu" could come up, and only LONG tap to bring menu.

Coz now, when i use swype, whenever i miss write something in swype, i cant change it anymore as the menu doesnt come up anymore, i have to erase it, rewrite it letter by letter....extremely annoying for me (just me, not everyone else since im the only one complaining it seems and using swype).

Can you tell me how to edit it Docent....apreciate it :D

And thank you so much for chiming in, been bugged about this matter for so long.

OHHHHH....... So thats it...i thought it was just me. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. Thank you.

Docent, thanks for chiming it.... no need to scratch your mind anymore.... its a 2.3.3 thing as I expected.

How to format ext partition when it is not even showing in Minitool Partition Wizard?

I've finally got time for an upgrade and see that there are certain steps to perform beforehand.

Before any starts by saying to read FAQ, already done and not found answer to problem there.

Previously partitioned my SD card as per copehagen's instructions. My problem is that when launching Minitool again, i can't see the extra partitions on the SD card! Can however see the size of the non-fat32 partitions on the SD card in Windows disk management screen, though windows cannot say what type of partitions they are.

So how do i format only the ext partition now in Minitool when cannot see it?

thanks

Jooneed
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
I would start over. Save your data.img if you can, and start the partition process from the beginning. use the sdformat tool and move into the mini tool.

this will solve your problem ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
we will spend some time looking into this.

thankyou for the heads up.

:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
1. we removed setup. warren said it was annoying. you dont need it anyways - all settings that are "set" during the setup wizard can be accessed at anytime by visiting the settings applet. (ahahha most uses of settings in one sentence ever)

just copy the build files to your device again. there's no reason for it to freeze.

be patient the first couple of boots until your device settles. refrain from pulling the bat to shutdown if you can help it.

2. no. this is something for the kernel.. leave it where it is. most likely wont need it with any newer kernels warren provides us with.

:)

post again if you have more problems.

Upgrading for some reason this time has given me trauma - I don't mind becasue I like doing this sort of thing anyway but, I thought I'd report back in case it helps someone else out...

I did the shortcut upgrade routine as I've been doing every previous build (delete android folder - except data.img, put new files etc in folder and change gps location to gb). Simple - but when I rebooted all sorts of things didn't work - gps (wouldn't come up in notification bar and google maps said it was off when it was on), the data connection stayed grey and wouldn't even turn green when connected to my wifi, I got FC on a number of different programs........... :confused:

So after a fresh start, formatted card, etc everything is working perfectly as far as I can tell. :) I'm assuming it's just me as no one else has reported anything - so nevermind it's just one of those things.

To all those having problems...

If things don't work as you would expect, start from fresh (after you've backed up your sd card, so you can go back to it, if you really want to) - using titanium backup eases the trauma, so it only takes a short time to set everything backup again - and you don't then loose your angry birds progress!! ;) In my experience, it solves 99.9% of problems.

As ever guys, superb build, it does everything I need and any little bugs are only very little as far as I'm concerned. Am looking forward to the new kernel :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
or...... :)...... run rom manager and run fix permissions @ the step where all the things "arnt working.. lots of fc's etc..." fix permissions would have solved everything :)

okay! either way.... good you didnt give up.

so... didnt get aroudn to it last night .. ZzZzZZ etc... but gonna do it now. cyanogen did some more work to teh framework last night.

I've updated my local code to include this. I am currently compiling. will polish and upload. so update comming this am. :)

031211 :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Thank you - Cope didn't want to believe I've got this problems too ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
My dear and wise friend. It DID not ;)

Fresh (Titanium Backup) install is ALWAYS your best friend ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
:) no i believe you hahaah docent.. you worry too much about me not believing you. there's a reason you are held in such high regard around here :)

either way.. WE KNEW there MIGHT be update issues from pre 0308 builds did we not? thats why all the extra stuff on the first post.. all the extra steps during testing etc.... couldnt be avoided. I myself, had to start from scratch updating to 0308. But I restored my old build and the second time I updated to 0308 it worked fine.. so.... 50/50 for either. Moving forward we shouldnt have this update problem (just like normal) however we dont know 100% the future and cant say for sure anythign you know.

hahahahaha

this is a comical subject. :) Docent :) :D:D:D:Dmy friend.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
!!! again... for some users this did fix it... im not start arguing :)

u it didnt

me it did and it didnt

warren it did

others it did

others it didnt

we are all right here. as long as in the end we are sitting with a working build and everyone is happy it didnt matter how we got here.. .just that we GOT here :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Jooneed:
thanks cope :).

after format and partition, can i just add my data.img to the android folder of the latest build and restart android?

thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
yes you most certainly can. just keep a backup of it (Data.img) until you get android up and fully running :) ill be here all day today if you have any issues
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
so warren and I were discussing last night the sense like addin and wanted to put it to you guys.

is this something you would like to see being offered on each update, an alternate download.. a second flavor? cause if the demand is there we will work on adding an additional build for users.

please provide feedback so we can guage the demand for this.

thx!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Jooneed:
many thanks again cope. already did the backup of whole of sd card. well, i'll do what i can tonight if i get the time, we are almost 22:00 hours here. if my little baby boy of 1 month allows me, i'll most certainly finish it tonight, else tomorrow ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
+1 to alternate download or second flavour - anyway OPTIONAL :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Jooneed:
Sense like feature would be nice if it doesn't adversely affect stability of this build. was using mdeejay froyo sense build before switching to this build :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] biosensorben:
Thanks cope, I tried that but it didn't help. I expected the new image for the 08 build - as you recommended, but I was surprised that i needed it for 09-10 update. Nevermind, It's all part of the fun updating builds :);):);)

Hi warrenb213 and copenhagen, that's really a wonderfull build, very close to perfect however

I only have one major concern, i can't seem to be able to have mms working.

I don't want to bring the all mccm subject back here, but it might help me solve my issue as i don't face it with "his release". i've got the exact same settings for APN and user agent, but it will simply won't work with your, whereas i can send/receive mms perfectly with his...

Any idea ? (no wifi nor 2G setting enabled)
[HD2 Android SD Development] biosensorben:
Don't be sorry - these things happen with this type of 'fiddling' ;) You can't be expected to predict everyones problems - no matter what some people think;)

I started fresh on the 09 to 10 update because after going the 'short route' it was giving me tauma and the fix permissions didn't fix everything even after a couple of off, on cycles. I had started fresh for the 08 build as well.

cope, warren, u guys are amazing! Never had this much fun lookin forward to updates - and yours are consistant, stable - AMAZING! Was using my hd2 using gps and google maps the other day - perfect! and the battery drain was minimal for like 2 and a half hours - used only about 3% (whereas in winmo sheesh!!)

love the stabililty - no fc's, battery lasts me 2 and a half days wiv minimal use - full day with about 30% change heavy use - (wifi on at work, data (hsdpa) at home usin chat apps and playin crystallight as well!

I'm havin an affair with my hd2 and its all thanx to the both of you :)

As for the sense thing - it would be great if you could include it as an optional update/separate install coz I'm loving your builds as they are!!

U guys are awesome!!!

of course they would be a seperate option.

[HD2 Android SD Development] killa_kota327:
Sorry for such noob questions but I'm not understanding this. Is there a swype keyboard for this build (I feel like a dumass for asking this but its really making me wonder)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
i just had a look into this.

as there is a script for EVERY region... that makes it sort of hard to include.

if there was one script for all regions i would GLADLY accept this request.

however to be honest the gps fix times these guys are talking about 30 seconds to 3 mins on first try, 4 seconds to 30 seconds on subsequest tries within 48 hours.... we already get this. if you edit ur gps.conf and add in your region, u should be okay. infact... i get these lock times and my region is set to us.. and im in canada. let me know if they ever do up an all in one and ill get it put in if they allow us.

EDIT this also requires work to be done on the kernel to accept the updates.. and to be honest... our kernel is going to destroy ANYthing that stands in its way... so i'd rather wait for what warrens workin on now then give him more to do (at least for now lol)

thx!
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
+1 to drop this. GPS times are fine.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:

[HD2 Android SD Development] killa_kota327:
I also was wondering I have been digging throught the settings on this build 31011. I just use the adw that comes with it (due to awesome freaquent updates) I really like the "new dock" but it always reverts back to the old buttons how can I lock it to just the dock. And another thing is the spacing for the new dock is really small (which I love) but if you add lets say 7 icons to the dock it spaces it differently and it bugs the holy hell out of me (not enough to persistantly ***** about it) so my question is..... is there a way to lock the dock in place and keep the spacing really close?

Thanks in advance for any responses
[HD2 Android SD Development] t-mizzle:
Regarding sense, It would be nice to have it as an optional upgrade. Should sense prove to be a time consuming addition or cause other issues, maybe refrain from putting it in every build or all together.

The LED thing- We shouldn't forget that the HD2 "doesn't exist" for CM, that's why it misbehaves and we have to use the led me know app. Led me know is in beta stage as well so it's far from ideal solution as well. I personally do use it but the LED functionality isn't a top priority. If it's battery drain bothers people, they can kill it with the leolights file posted a few pages ago. It's not really reasonable to expect Warren and Cope to spread themselves thin by trying to deal with that considering everything else they are busy with, including sense.

I would rather have a kick ass kernel, sense is optional if that makes sense.

As for those who inexplicably still may have issues, point them to the app solutions for GSP editing rather than spending time on it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] IndivisibleP:
Battery miracle :)))

I just wanted to post some good news for everyone to check out.

I recently sat down with Cope on gtalk to ask for help with making the screen resolution a bit bigger (...yes the same thing that is addressed in a dozen words or less in the original post :o ). Anyway it was great, he gave me tons of advice about anything and everything i might have had questions about. (really Cope, thank you again, I'll be back for more :D )

Anyway following his instructions i did the simple task of moving the root folder back a step and rebooting. (yup it was that simple) But aside from the larger screen res which i was looking for I quickly realised that my batt. life had become fantastic. I have owned both Nexus phones and the HD2 running various SD builds and none of them could ever make it through a day even on standby (light / no use) without dropping drastically if not all together dying out.

But now my HD2, after this little adjustment, went through a whole day and whole night without charging (i left it unplugged while I slept to see what would happen) and I woke up with it still in the green at a little less than 40% !! This is just great news for me. I dont know what others are getting, but this is a drastic improvement over all my previous experiences with any android phones.

edit: i should add that everything is still being fast and responsive (if not more so) and this hasnt come at the expense of any perceivable performance.

you should be okay... use titnaium backup to backup your user apps and app data only.

backup ur data.img just incase.

if not

then create a new data.img and restore USER APPS + their data ONLY!!!

Yah me too. I would maybe play around with a Sensed version but I have grown to like the Senseless builds. I'm glad you will keep the Senseless version the priority.

So was I. But this is so much smoother than that one. Plus my battery life is actually rivaling my WinMob rom now. Hopefully this new update will grow into the champ that the FEB16 was.

there. now everyone is happy ;) and u learned something new ;)

and no offense taken dont worry! .. we are prepared for this scenario ;)

just a reminder to new users of bkup2sdext feature... the first couple of boots will taken longer then normal.. this is because we are backing up your data to your ext partition. boots will get progressively quicker over time, and always remember that a full shutdown will sync changes you've made since you booted. so if you've made a lot of changes it will take longer to shutdown. if you skip shutting down ie: pulling bat. your changes during that session will not get synced to your sdext partition. no big deal.. just for your info.
