Let me start by saying that I love this build!

Unfortuanatley Im having some problems with it! Firstly, it will randomly crash, so I have to re-run the haret file. Sometimes it will crash and when I re-run haret, i get the HTC screen, then get a black screen. Normally runs with no problems for a week or so, then will have to delete all droid files and run a fresh file. This is a pain in the ass! Seems to last longer when I dont install any apps, but this might be my imagination!

Does anyone have any ideas? Ive hard reset the phone and followed the partitioning steps for the sd card as well.

Thanks, Ollie :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
okay im going to have a beer before noon.

in the mean time..

here is the updated boot logo.. just unzip it, and replace your existing initrd.gz in /sdcard/android/

NZ and AU this ones for you ;)

thanks pwhitrow. (#18)
[HD2 Android SD Development] pwhitrow:
Hey Cope,

Build is stable and working well here. No fc or battery drain issues at all. Just luck I guess.

Happy to chat with animation Guy if you need anything.

Could perhaps enlighten me as to how I change the lock screen background? Can't seem to find it.

Overall, favourite build so far!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Tubgirl:
I understand and that's probably why I'm using a build older than that. Just trying to give feedback. What causes me not to be able to run AmeriCanAndroid at all nowadays might not be as severe to other users but might cause them other unexpected issues.

Tell you what... I'll re-download the latest build just in case something was wrong with the download (which is not very likely since it would have given me errors when unpacking it).

Other than that I'm not sure what else I can do? Never had any stability problems with earlier builds like the April ones for example. Might actually dig up one of those build and use that instead... or move on to something else... like the SGSII ;)

Brgds... /Tubgirl

PS. If Warren knows he's played with the voltage/clock speed and you'd be willing to supply me with a build with none of those changes I'd be very happy to test it and report back my results...
[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
When set to "perfomance" the cpu is clocked to the max setting. Interactive allows the cpu to be adjusted as needed. In short for your question about damaging the phone, yes it is possible while overclocking to damage hardware components. Its not likely to happen.

As for me, I have mine set to 245 min and 998 max with interactive. I don't have problems with it slowing down. I feel like overclocking by just a hundred or so mhz isn't gonna do to much, but that is just me. I also feel like it puts too much drain on the battery.
[HD2 Android SD Development] materoprodutions:
great but just 1 little issue

Just updated to the last version yesterday, everything works great, no problems with battery, boot is fast and speed is very good too. The only problem I have is: I have 2 camera applications with 2 different icons and none of them works. they both load the camera app and when I open it I see the camera working but if I try to take a picture it doesn't do anything and then i get FC, also I can't access any settings in the camera app, the buttons are greyed out. Is there any way to uninstall and reinstall the camera app? maybe that's the problem.

Everything else is just amazing!

thank you guys for the effort
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
try a fix_perms in rom manager

and/or

settings->manage applications->all apps->find the camera apps and clear defaults .

also make sure you havnt acceidently chosen front facing camera.. as we dont have one.... (if that option is still in there)
[HD2 Android SD Development] webvan:
Running 0707 ok here, benchmark performance has gone down compared to 0630, about 15% (with 1190mhz activated). Drain is indeed lower for now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] prattjo:
I have some freezing problems not so often though. I am on the 07072011 version, one partition, new data.img since the 06302011 version. I always have freezes when using any player, the 2 included and others like WinAmp, PlayePror and PowerAmp, after playing OK for about 5 to 10 minutes HD2 freezes. It also happens after reformatting my SD.
[HD2 Android SD Development] materoprodutions:
tried both but same result...it doesn't work...
[HD2 Android SD Development] clarkg:
Awwwww... thanks Dude!
[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
So far I'm still doing great with 705 build. No slow downs or wait/fc's. Battery drain is minimal, even after approximating the screen closed during call. Will be updating to 707 whe. I get home in a few hours.

Also, for people having problems, maybe its how you installed it. I let mine reboot out of the first one automatically like it should. Then boot back to android, wait til fully loaded wait 5 min reboot and repeat. I start using the phone after about 3 reboots (so beginning on 4th boot)
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
I'll try that. It happened with 7-7 as well but for me it was a missed call only. Email and sms notifications didn't do that. Does get your attention though. Chirp, Chirp, Chirp, Chirp...
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Hi cope - I for sure had a restart with 7-5. I believe I had one with 6-30. I am not able to tell what was happening when the phone restarted. Haven't had any with 7-7.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
4 pics in quick succession. No hang...

Pandora was fine in extended play. I don't have my music on my hd2 so I couldn't test the player.
[HD2 Android SD Development] pwhitrow:
Hi Cope,

Been thinking about the boot animation...

Using the screen I made, I thought maybe a colour swash (green or lighter grey maybe) climbing (filling in?) the map from top to bottom signifying load progress.

In my head it works quite well :)

Just my 2p
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
+1
[HD2 Android SD Development] pwhitrow:
Cope,

Here's a real quick illustration of what I was thinking for the boot animation. Just a few frames to give an idea...
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
i love it!!!!!!!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] eddyedwards007:
Love the design, but I like color in my roms and my personal thoughts are the boot animation as it stands looks a bit dull, so any splash of color would be fine by me, my preference would be cyan :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
I agree a cyan splash would be awesome. Green works too. Either way, they all look really good.
[HD2 Android SD Development] pwhitrow:
Just an idea Eddy, up to Cope and the rest of you good folk. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] webvan:
anyone else seen a drop of about 15% in the benchmarks (quadrant, cf, devicemark) running at 1190Mhz ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] eddyedwards007:
Well it gets my vote my friend, great job :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Interesting... So I was late to update to 07-05-2011 and I still wanted the new bootlogo. I just used the file Cope posted and it works great!

So now I am off to see how I can edit that "init" file so I can put in my own bootlogo. While I'm at it, I'm gonna change the boot logos for the winmob side too.

Whoever gave that suggestion for the notifications I thank, and I will be trying that now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Have you tried different SD cards?

Since this build runs off of your card, the SD card is very important.

The way you describe your problem, with it reapearing after some time and sooner when you install a lot of apps, it sounds to me, like something is wrong with your SD card.

Everytime you install again, all errors are gone, but they come back the longer you use your card, meaning write data, to it. -> read/write errors

Next time that happens, try to repair your card with your PC. Windows has a tool to do that. Check if it helped.

If you have a spare SD card, check if using that one gives you the same problems.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
Hey folks.

:)

Just saying. haha
[HD2 Android SD Development] rpstter:
I agree, anytime you have an abnormal shutdown or a system lock you should scan the SD card in windows using the /r parameter then scan and repiar your data.img file.

Step 1:

Shutodwn your phone and mount the SD card in windows using a card reader.

Step 2:

chkdsk /r <<drive letter of SD card>>

Step 3:

Download the TopResize utility

Step 4:

from the directory you extracted TopResize run the e2fsck utility on your data.img file

e2fsck -f <<path to you data.img file>>

put the SD card back in your phone and reboot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
Something I put up on my whiteboard.

#4 definitely partially explains why I've not been around much.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Avatiach:
Hey Tubgirl,

I also have been experiencing weird behaviors with recent builds. I have tried every new build (with the exception of 7/7) and I always find myself going back to 6/23, which for me is just perfect.

My experience is that the new builds work really great for the first day or so, but then slowness starts, and the phone gets really unstable, music gets stuck etc. I need to pull the battery out to get it all beefy again, but the more time that passes since I install it, the more often I need to do that. (I'm installing most of the apps right after installing the build, so it's not likely to be caused by a specific app).

With the 6/23 build though, everything is a smooth as silk. My personal, unprofessional, unproven guess, is that one of the changes that was introduced between the 6/23 and the 6/30 versions might be responsible. But as I said - far from being an expert, just sharing my personal experience.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
But you don't have that problem with the older build? Keeps running stable and smoothly for several days?
[HD2 Android SD Development] bitwister:
Overheating while using navigation...

After about 10 minutes of running Google Navigation, my HD2 would overheat and lock up. This started happening a few months ago right after a Google Maps update. I was using radio 2.15.50.14. After reading some radio related posts the other night, I decided to switch to 2.12.50.02_2. I ran navigation for about 40 minutes this morning, and my HD2 warmed up slightly, but didn't overheat.

Unfortunately, I've had two SOD's today. I don't know if they're related to the radio, or not. The first SOD occurred a day and half after the radio replacement. I'm using version 0705. I'm about to install 0707.

bit-twister
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
i have just finished some updated rootfs.

that and the audio fix.

and the updated boot logo...

and 24 hours of cyanogenmod updates

warrent an update.

starting process now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
+1 for sure.

Welcome back!

Edit: Was going to update to 707 but think I'll wait for the next one...sounds like it'll be good.
[HD2 Android SD Development] pwhitrow:
simply because someone asked for it! :)

Logo #19:
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
I really like the idea of having HD2 written there instead of HTC.

After all, it's the HD2 powered by ACA and not HTC itself.

And we already have their logo on the phone, so no need to repeat it.

If I had the skills to make the graphics you do, I'd leave the htc completely and only have HD2 written but with a space between H and D.

But I don't. In fact it's an achievement for me to do more than red eye reduction on pictures. ;-)

So I'll be glad to have any of the work you made on my phone.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Avatiach:
So it seems, although I must admit that we the amazing pace of new builds recently I still can't say for sure since I keep trying the updates :)

I'm testing it again now
[HD2 Android SD Development] mv:-):
I think "hd2" should be emphasized instead of "htc" if we have to choose between the two, or as suggested, just remove "htc" altogether.

on another note, I think the monotone "color" (black) is too monotonous or drab for me. I think at least one element should have a color.

peripheral power

I loved looking through all the graphic submissions.

Im still having trouble with audio and max volume levels, ive tried every fix i could find over the last few days tried fixes suggested to me in this thread as well as some suggested to others in other threads, and though a suggestion from this thread worked the best it was a minimal improvement, and max volume performance remains lacking against other OS's.

Additionally is there a way to adjust wifi power?
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheATHEiST:
Had a search but couldn't find and answer, Ho do you fix the lock screen size? I've just booted build up and lock screen is like 50% of screen.

[EDIT] Never mind, fixed. I did the spare parts compatibility fix, not sure if it was that or teh reboot but its full screen now :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
Logo #19

Omg, I smell a new update again... :D

I would love #19, only HD2 would also be fine with me, but I actually prefer it the way it is.

Thanks!

BTW uzi, any news on your radio test?
[HD2 Android SD Development] John Charles:
Re the 60mah battery drain I've often (not always) found I have applications waiting to be updated in the market but I hadn't been notified of them. Once updated often (not always) the battery settles back down to 6 or 7mah.

Other than that if the 60mah drain is persistent I've found reinstalling the build update often settle things down.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nelthalin:
I have that most of the time but sometimes it just goes up. And i have BT, wifi and gps turned off.

I did wait a bit (few minutes) to see if it would go down. It would not in both builds. It will drain my battery quite fast from there on. I think my 0630 is quite settled and that one also has the problem. Its not only after calls sometimes after normal use where the power draw is 180-240 most of the time. it will go to a idle 63 draw.

Its not a big deal but its the only real issue i have right now other then that its perfect :) so i will wait until warren has some time to look at it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:

The latest build ;) is great !!!

Now my vacation takes me into 4-week oblivion so see you all in two fortnights :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
Have fun! Although I must say, I wouldn't be able to live 4 weeks with the same build, hell no! :D

This has been true for me every build, and I've done all updates since April, tried kernal-swaping, airplane mode, all of the suggestions that have been made here. I just bought extra batteries and one of the big ones.
[HD2 Android SD Development] pwhitrow:
Cope, have an awesome time dude. See you in 4
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:

With other kernel the above does not happen, never happened to me or anyone else on t10 afaik!

It is not build related, don't bring our devs on the wrong track mate...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Tubgirl:
I've tried searching but cannot find the post where somebody kindly enough posted a download list of all released AmeriCanAndroid builds. Anyone here know the link?

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[HD2 Android SD Development] dumbquestion:
+1 for your -1... my bad on the kernel comment- I was trying to write from my phone with a bored 4 and 6 year old in the room and didn't take the time to clarify that I tried the kernel swap but didn't stick with it for other reasons (stated reasons by dev.s as to why they have the kernel they have, ACA loyalty and hope, and bugginess- not necessarily attributed to the kernel, but present, with launching & running some programs). I did NOT notice the same battery drain issues with the swap. I stand corrected. Sorry. I'll lock the little monsters in their cages first next time. :o

uploading last nights build.

has the changed default.acdb

new smaller rootfs

#18 boot logo

updates to cyanogen up to and inc. 070811

as the rootfs is new.. this is more of a test build then usual... but ive done enough testing on my side to be confident enough to up it for you to test... standby

http://www.multiupload.com/LNIMSA9RQS

Please download these also and replace the ones that come in that download.

http://www.multiupload.com/HTVX53Z00K

(the rootfs files)

thankyou
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Perfect timing, got my replacement HD2 last night, and as an added bonus, it came with a new battery, headphones, charger, and usb cable, which was totally unexpected. now downloading the new build, but must say, swapping phones was painless with everything on SD.

Also just convinced my wife to let me Android her phone :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] eddyedwards007:
Can't get this to boot up? get as far as the new boot logo then doesn't go any further, press reset button then second time boots as far as the boot logo but then screen goes off(black) and pressing any of the buttons they just light up but nothing happens.

Data image from 05/07
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
for you.. for now... just copy in/ and boot with the old rootfs.img from the last build.

anyone else having this issue?
[HD2 Android SD Development] madhatter:
7/8 build

Hi Cope,

Testing now. Seems quite fast. Will advise if any issues.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
@madhatter

@eddyedwards

partitioned sd-cards? yes no?
[HD2 Android SD Development] eddyedwards007:
Hi Cope,

No, no partitions for me on my 16gb card, changed the rootfs file, just transferring now will let you know if that works :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
I made the copy of 0708 :

- the fix_permissions.sh doesn't exists anymore;

- an empty file firstrun is now present in root of Android folder;

- Phone is now booting, and i'll make the changepermission in the app itself (ROM Manager, if i remember well);

- i'll keep you informated...

And big thanks for you job !
[HD2 Android SD Development] eddyedwards007:
Hi Cope,

Putting the rootfs.img from the 07/07 build to the 08/07 has worked for me and booted without any issues.

I'll let you know if there are any further problems, (though I don't expect any :) )

Many Thanx :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
So the new functionnality is to have this file 'firstrun' to tun the fix_permission.sh... good (avoid script modification, and can be made easily).

So my phone has finished first boot with fix_permission, and has switched off (removing 'firstrun' file)

Second boot now...
[HD2 Android SD Development] madhatter:
no partitions I am using original 16g card that came with t_mobile phone and never seem to have problems. I am to scared to try anything else and mess up my good fortune.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
It added me more desktop, and i now have 5 or 6 desktop...

I tried hidden Wifi and it's working.

Launched some apps, and no error at the moment.

And Great picture on boot, it changes... in the good way guys ;-)

Keep you informated if problems ;-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] alessio_81:

Completely fresh SD-card, 1 new FAT32 partition.

Can not get any further than the new boot logo.
[HD2 Android SD Development] eddyedwards007:
Hi,

Just do what Cope told me to do, copy the rootfs.img from your last build into the new build and you should be ok, it worked for me :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
you dont have to do it manually it still happens... ! (thus the empty file first run)

if you guys have to do something Different then normal I will always tell you.

I installed 0708 as usual everything works fine until now, going to check if the music player freezes the phone. I am with one 32K partition new data.img from 0630
[HD2 Android SD Development] Histrument:
Cope, I thought that the sound fix would be in 0708... the fixed file has a size of 122.xx kilobytes; the default file in this update is the same 111.xx...
[HD2 Android SD Development] mv:-):
Build 070811

no issue/s so far...

-- booted fine the first time (i.e., went through the homescreen, then as usual, turns off), then rebooted the 2nd time.

-- sms conversations reloaded (didn't have to go through the sms+ backup route)

-- 6mA on standby, after the phone settled (then increased when setcpu initialized but on standby, holding at 6mA so far)

-- both cameras working fine (took at least 8 shots each and 2 videos with the miui cam).

-- volume seems a bit louder now; tested volume levels subjectively via my poor ears ;) based on incoming/outgoing calls (thanks to the changed (?) default.acdb didn't check size yet though; see observation of Histrument)

-- noticed that there is now only one music app (one with blue icon) -- no problems with playback so far.

-- quadrant standard result after 5th run: at par now with build 070711: 1743. :) just needed for the system to settle, i think... seems to be slower than previous build; quadrant standard benchmark results: 1300+ vs. 1700+ (build 070711)

*** partitioned sd, 0708 rootfs (5mb), old data.img from 0625 (although the timestamp says 0706 (jul 6]) ***
[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
Rootfs is smaller now. That is probably why. Cope said he added the sound fix in the post he released the build.

Downloading now...updating soon. Reports after...

Thanks again ACA team!
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
Yes I had the exact problem only the phone never shut off, just stayed on the new boot img.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
what do you want me to say. I made the change as suggested by uzi.

what exactly is "broken" with the sound in your opinion?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
partitioned sdcard or not?
[HD2 Android SD Development] prattjo:
I have bad sound with the the 2 included Music player, and after playing for a few minutes I get reboots or phone freeze, in which case battery out.

I can't enjoy my MP3. The freezing problem is not new to the 0708 version I have it for at least the 4 last versions
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Yes, I suggested it was included, but all credit to manoruz for discovering it.

The improvement in sound quality hasn't made it to the new build. This fixes it, but manoruz said that the file had to be changed in 2 places, so I guess it also needs to be in etc/firmware as well as system/etc/firmware when cooked in.
