To do it in Winmo copy the 240 build.prop to android/root/system in the normal way - edit build.prop line that ends in lcd_density=240 to whatever value you choose.

plz help!

i just got my htc hd2 cause someone stole my old one, on my old one, it was easy 2 put android on the sd, with my new hd2 no rom will work, it loads, but when android turns on it will lag, and apps crash and say force close, and the market wont work, i tried this and mcc's and its the same thing happening, what should i do?
[HD2 Android SD Development] morfeusz747:
Why if i add some file on SD i must reboot phone? Because Android don't see this file...
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
The first thing to check is the SD card. Reformatting is probably the quickest option.

Question

In the first post, under Installation & Updating; do the update notes apply to all installs, or just ones using an old data file?

Other than that, this is the best rom I've used, by far.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Because USB toPC is broken. Read a few pages back and you will find some relevant info

Swyped from my aHD2oid
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
It applies to all installs. If you delete your data.img a new one will be created.

"Changelog Archive:

Previous Releases:

04/27/11 - UPDATE

-default lcd density for ACA is now 167 (didnt forget this time)

-gps fixed (sorry about last build... transition period.. ironed out)

-cyanogenmod updates from april 25 to 27

-updated rootfs

-tweaked hd recording/playback settings for your testing

-hidden wifi & adhoc networking is comfirmed now working

(thanks to our updates over the weekend and warrens brilliance!) * sparkle sparkle *

-made major changes to the gps.conf file to allow for faster gps lock times (fasterfix / any gps fast fix software is now NOT RECOMMENDED) the only gps changes you should be making is the old style where you edit gps.conf and change the "us" entries to your own.. ie "gb" "pl" "ca" etc."

uzi2,

Do you ever get upset for answering repetitive questions all the time or responding to certain individual(s)? I usually cannot detect any emotions from you. :o Your responses are often concise and to the point. :D

Anyway, from me personally, just want to say thanks for being patient and helpful to everyone in this thread.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
initial gps lock has always been a bit slow.

honestly, sit in on your dash, open up maps, keep the device alive. within 5 minutes the first lock should occur, beyond that locks should come back fast.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
When you could input your local gps pool, it was not necessary.

What is recommended for 27/4/11 is no longer valid.

In any case GPSStatus will help you more.

see above

Yes...see my recent post re FAQ

Thanks for your support.

warren.. thanks..

sorry for the inconvenience!
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I've always measured my first GPS fix with this build in seconds rather than minutes and I attribute that to a combination of Fasterfix and GPSStatus & Toolbox. I always use the latter to obtain a fix before using Maps, MyTracks etc.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
i just want to take a second to thank everyone for the continued support / interest in our build.

I want to express extream thanks to the users who continually manage to put aside urges to tear apart the dumb question posters but refrain and calmly answer. You have set, continue to set, and most likely will set in the future, the bar for high standards and fantastic support on xda.

We quite simply would not be where we are at today without the help of said users.

You know who you are.. and deserve a rather large amount of credit aroudn here.

also.... I hope that burger thursday... has been as good to you as it has to me.

tty all later this evening!

So probably another person in another countries have that question.. but.. if my question was a "dumb question" sorry.

first of all thanks for the answer , yes i used different sd's , and i use hspl :( i can't use any of sd or nand android build any more since i tried this
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
It's not so much about dumb questions but unnecessary ones, meaning questions repeated countless times or questions about things that anyone could easily solve for themselves.

Of course, this thread is 850 pages long by now which makes it hard to find answers, even with the search function.

Also, each of us comes from a different backround, what might seem easy for some is almost incomprehensible for others.

Some of us have been with this build and its predecessors from the start and a lot of the knowledge we take for granted, we've learned along the way. Coming into the game at a later time can be hard.

But all that is no excuse for laziness.

We are here to learn, to take andvantage of the work of the devs, to help them to make this build better and to help others enjoy this build like we do.

That doesn't mean we are slaves that have to answer questions repeatetly on a indiviudal basis because some people think they deserve this personal service.

They don't.

This build is given for free, any help is given for free. However, there is a cost to anything. The people that help with their knowledge, be it devs or senior users, pay with the time they spend. Time is a valuable thing. It's insulting to waste it.

The devs spend a lot of time making this build what it is today, they work on it every day, to make it as good as possible. The first page contains a lot of information, reading it will answer most questions or even better, prevent having those questions in the first place.

A lot of time and effort has gone into creating a FAQ, exclusively for this build, for more information on certain aspects, including instructions.

All that is asked of the users is, that they use that information.

If you've read the first page and the FAQ, and I don't mean skipping over but really reading and trying to understand and something still isn't clear or the problem didn't get solved by doing so, it is absolutely OK to ask your questions in this thread. Someone will take the time to help you. But you have to at least show, that you put some effort in trying to solve the problem yourself. Just barging in and shouting a question, like a three year old in kindergarten would do is just plain insulting and people will react accordingly.

Did you read the first page, try to solve your problem yourself, before you asked?

If the answer is yes, your question wasn't stupid.

Well, something seems to be utterly wrong with your phone.

Maybe it would be a good idea to give it a fresh start.

Reflash your phone with it's standard software and check if winmo is running ok.

If not, something is wrong with the hardware.

If winmo is OK, you can try using SD builds again.

Netflix Master Hack, Works Like charm With Your 5/19/11 Android Build....!

I have not had any problems with the HD2 Netflix Master Hack, it works like a charm with the 5/19/11 Android build ... Personally, I believe it makes everything works a lot better.

When the T-Mobile USA HD2 Netflix Master Hack has been applied on your HD2, it will be registered on Netflix's website as a [Nexus One] giving your HD2 enhanced video resolution quality as a supported Netflix Android mobile device, this has been confirmed by me.

If Netflix decided to kill ALL [Non Supported Android Mobile Devices], then your HD2 with this hack on it would not be affected. So their is an advantage of having this hack on your HD2 and that's why this hack was designed exclusively for the HD2, although it may work on other [Non Supported Android mobile Devices].

Since I installed it on the 5/19/11 Android build, NO data drops, NO BT or Wifi or Camera, Back light problems, sending or receiving MMS, even to and from the iphone, works with just about ALL USA carriers. I will respect your request, keep up the good work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Re: the Netflix post. I concur. Plus, I loaded just the straight Netflix Apk no other tweaks and it worked great for me, not even eating my battery in standby. Watching an episode of a show consumed a lot. But, it looked and worked great.

So, not necessary to overcomplicate.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Sprintusa:
Works Outside The USA

Yes, it will work outside USA, providing you have a valid USA VPN. I would advise you to use the T-Mobile USA HD2 Netflix Master Hack.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Sprintusa:
Now go to Neflix's website and see how your HD2 is registered... If by chance Netflix decided to kill ALL Non supported Android devices, that's the end of you streaming movies. I pray that will not happen, but with the HD2 Netflix Master Hack on your HD2, it will be registered as a Nexus One supported Netflix Android mobile device on Netflix's website giving you better video resolution qualty too.

I don't see why Netflix would do that and I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Make a backup with Titanium Backup.

Save the content of your SD card to a PC.

Format your SD card. Completely.All partitions.

Don't copy back any data, only the Android folder.

Let it create a fresh data.img. Check if the lag is gone.

If it's OK, copy back the Titanium Backup folder and restore your data. Only the user apps, none of the red ones. Don't backup the red ones in the first place.

Check again for lag.

If it's OK, copy back the rest of the stuff you had on your SD card except for the old Android folder. But don't erase the old folder just yet. Keep it in case anything went wrong with the Titanium backup, something missing, you only realize after some use.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Sprintusa:
Thanks Kdelisle

Thanks a million, the Netflix app that I first posted in this thread is the very same one used in the 5/17/11 and the 5/19/11 Android build. I will PM you and explain this to you.

Hey Guys I need a little help.

I am running Android on NAND and want this ROM to boot from SD Magldr, which it does.

However, I have a 1 GB EXT2 partition required by my NAND ROM. So when I boot AmericanAndroid from the SD it also reads from my 1 GB EXT partition and messes up everything.

Is there a way by which the AmericanAndroid ROM would not read the EXT2 partition and Boot directly creating the data.img ?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Battery drain...

ok, after starting fresh with a new data.img and after roughly 6 reboots and batt calibration I still get these spikes of drain. Last night I went from 75 to 13 in 9 hours or so, without any input from my side obviously. See attached.

What shocks me are the up to 10% drains at once :eek:

It happens every hour, my k-9 mail DL frequency...

Will now try without k-9 and report back. The strange thing is that I did not change anything regarding my apps for the last 2 weeks, drain started only since after MAY12 build. But I also noticed very fast drain when surfing the inet and reading news, feels like faster than before although this is not verified. But maybe something in the cyan code changed and using of radio loads more on the cpu than before?

Also its not the Android System anymore that is in the top 3 drainers, but the behaviour is exactly the same :confused:

I'd love to have my display back as no. 1 source of drain :-/

Yes, the USB to PC is still a problem. I can copy the file from PC to sd but can't see it with root explorer.

[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Do you really believe that this is a problem with the build and that you are the first to notice it?

The power key is the one that get's the most use on the HD2 and it tends to get pressed on the right hand side to avoid the other keys. Over time it can lose it's functionality due to becoming misaligned or the ingress of dirt.

You can be kind to your keys by always using another key to power on and by making use of the many button saving apps available (button saviour, zmooth etc.) or Tablet Tweaks http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13941260&postcount=8444

You may need to take your HD2 apart and clean your buttons.
