warning: major problem with settings

I just installed this new release (FEB23) and discovered this big showstopper :

everytime I reboot I loose all my settings:

- shortcuts and widgets on main screen

- all modified settings like brightness, keyboard, etc.

- alarms I had set to wake up tomorrow morning (it's half past midnight here).

I'm glad I've catched this before going to sleep...

I think its the same problem that somebody else was talking with Docent.

I also have a partitioned SD card, but in my case its formatted as ext4.

Going to sleep now...

When I have my phone on vibrate mode does not vibrate even if I have set it to vibrate always ... please help...
[HD2 Android SD Development] HaPeWe:
Sounds dangerous. Without data flat or while roaming this could be very expensive.

How did you noticed that 3G data was activated?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
Scratch everything I wrote below.....

i just reread your first sentence. FEB23. Where did you get a feb 23rd build from?

only three people had that build... and

YOU were not supposed to be one of them

. :angry:

there is a reason we only release stable builds and the 23rd was NOT a stable build.

UPGRADE to the 24th build..

there are far too many people who have installed the newest build without problems. I think you are a one of case.. (well 2 of now...)

do the following.

1. move your data.img off your sdcard.

2. format your fat32 partition, and use a partition util of some sort to format your sdext partition ext 2/3/or 4.

(maybe dont use ext4 this time... try ext3 and if that works then you can inplace upgrade to ext4) i have the instructions to upgrade an ext2 or 3 partition to ext4 - line by line if anyone is interested.. you just do it through terminal WHILE your device is running.... JUST LET ME KNOW and ill post them lickidy split.

3. unzip the build again...dont use the files you've already unzipped.

4. copy the unzipped build files to your sdcard

5. boot up. SET THE DATE AND TIME!. make some changes to settings etc. reboot. verify that your settings are sticking during a reboot.. once verified. shutdown and

6. copy your data.img back to the /sdcard/android folder.

7. boot android.

all your data apps etc should be RE-stored from your data.img AND backedup on the sd-ext partition. During first boot it will make the backups of your important files to the sd-ext partition.

reboot.. and you should be fine from here on out.

I can tell you 100% this problem is not an issue with the build. We test things thoroughly to make sure they work before we release... and the three of us scattered around the world, using US and EU hd2's, with different network providers... different sdcards, different data connections 3g/vs my 2g.... etc

and I can tell you without a doubt, that none of us had this problem... so it is NOT a problem with the build.. more likely a small hickup over there on your end.. be it a 3rd party app or something else. (i'm not trying to shift blame here off the build.. i'm just trying to re-iterate to you, that dont be so quick to blame us... when it works SOOO good for SOO many people. You know?):eek:
[HD2 Android SD Development] anap40:
Sorry for the newb question, but I searched the thread and haven't sene it answered yet. I can't boot up the first time, I keep getting stuck at the Cyanogen Mod screen. I have reformatted my SD card and still get stuck at the screen everytime, I've been waiting 30minutes and it is still stuck there with the keypad lights on.

I removed the build from all the folders it was in and have it in root/Android instead of something like root/warrenb***/americanandroid***/Android like it was in the *.7z folder, is this a problem?

Anyone have any tips?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
1. download build on your pc.

2. use 7zip to unzip the build on your pc. (.7z or .7 is similar to a .zip file you have to unzip it first to get at the files)

3. remove the previous attempt files from your sdcard... format is recommended

4. find the ANDROID folder in the unzipped build files and right click COPY it.

5. open your sdcard and right click in the empty file space (where there is the list of files on the right side of the window... will be empty if you formatted your sdcard) right click paste

6. visually confirm that you now have /sdcard/Android folder showing. winmo users will be more familiar if I type it like this \Android. except be on the \ or your sdcard and not the \ of your winmo files. Its hard to explain this any clearer.

7. boot using clrcad.exe then haret.exe

@docent is there anything similar to this ^^ in the faq? ill check it but just incase there isn't we need to add the new persons guide to installing the build to their sdcard. ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] anap40:
Thanks for the quick reply, but I forgot to mention I am using MAGLDR - do I have to make the modifications to this build? (there is a thread on it that I can dig up if this is the problem, I've done it before)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
yes a small mod has to be made to facilitate magldr booting.

look in the folder /sdcard/android/SDMGLDR folder there is a readme in there.

should be easy peazy for u.

also.. ur totally busted for not reading post #1 or the faq ;)

(i feel bad about saying "it was a noob mistake" i removed it.. :( softy!)

ahaha time to grab my purse and go dress shopping.

[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
Just started using this build full-time, and wanted to thank copenhagen and warrenb for their great work on this build. I've been playing around with about 8 different sd builds on my card since I installed WP7 and partitioned my card to boot android off sd... been trying to decide and narrow down what builds I want to keep using.... and have decided that this build is a definite keeper. Another plus is that this build is continually being worked on and updated (and at least you guys are cooking your own build rather than using other peoples work and taking credit... you know who I'm talking about).

So I'm gonna be around in this thread more and try to help you guys test out your builds and help out where ever I can... and I'm looking forward to see how great this build is gonna be. Keep up the great work!

One question... I haven't put ext2 partitions or any of that on my card to use with this build... is it really worthwhile to do that? Does it improve performance noticeably or have any other functions that really help out? What is the best size to make the partitions?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Faz20:
Holy sh*t this is freaking awesome. This is only the 2nd build I've tried so far as I've been up for the last 4-5 hours or so looking at tens of different builds. Thanks a BUNCH for this and I think I will be using it full time as I have had no issues as of yet.

One small issue (I doubt its connected to the build), my beloved app Angry Birds does not work, everytime I try to run it, it says "The application Angry Birds (process com.rovio.angrybirds) has stopped unexpectedly. Please Try Again. I have tried uninstalling and installing the app again 4-5x but no success. This is not really a big issue but if anyone could help me out would be much appreciated. Thanks a bunch once again for this build, I would recommend it to anyone. I was ready to sell my HD2 but no more!
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Go to settings->applications->angry birds and move them to phone.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Faz20:
Thanks a bunch dude. This is the best thing that's ever happened to this phone. Thanks a lot for that quick reply, I am so happy right now! Haha
[HD2 Android SD Development] uaon99:
data still don't reconnect after signal lost,

but if you live in an area with strong signal,

and you don't need to use elevator alot,

the data is very stable.

ps. the camera green flash is not fix.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bdaboy338:
Ive only really get 3 solutions.

1. Ive tried editing the build text, nothing happened.

2. Ive tried deleting the the ext3 patition and just tries the fat32 and the swap linux.

3. Ive wiped all the partitions.

My card is partition fat32/ext3/swap linux

Thats the 3 things ive tried. if u guys have another solution please let me know.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
The most obvious to me would be to delete your data.img......
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
Bt is good.....on par with other androids....i will look to improve more later....but the problems we had in trade off with the fix was bt was being completely destroyed essentially.....giving amazing battery savings.....i want to implement a new bcm serial driver I found soon.

Gps im working on as well. Just gotta get it compiling with our build then update it with some code I found it would appear....

USB is going to be upgraded soon dont worry.

App market....i have not the slightest. Sounds like a local change.....

Wait till you try the kernel I'm using.....i never had fc and wait ever ever and I push my phone....but this one is fast.

Thanks for the thanks. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] bdaboy338:
so i think ive found a solution. i deleted the ext3 partition AGAIN and now it seems like its working. NOW..... do i need the ext3 patition for my apps???

[HD2 Android SD Development] chemass:
Hi, I had exactly the same issue.

Check to ensure that your WP7 partition is a primary partition, not a logical one. It worked for me!
[HD2 Android SD Development] bdaboy338:
so i put the ext3 partition back, seem to be working for now. we'll see......
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
While not a burger, it's a voucher.

So, here is a piece to get ready for Cope's possible Burger Thursday.

ACA Omega Series Kernel 2.6.32.05.25.2011

Various changes to a good amount of stuff

Instructions to slipstream install:

1. Reboot to WinMO

2. Connect to PC as Disk Drive

3. Navigate to your Android directory (Ex: H:\Android\)

4. Extract contents directly into the Android folder. Should replace zImage, and you should end up with a folder called "root" in your Android folder.

5. Clrcad.exe, Haret.exe, Enjoy!

[HD2 Android SD Development] newbietruly:
Well, one other solution is NOT to use any partitions. Just have one big FAT32 partition with your Android folder loaded. A few users in this thread including myself only use ONE FAT32 partition to run our ACA and we (speaking for myself :D) don't have any problems including the one described.

Warren's advice is also best. I'd listen to him. :o

As for how to update build, I believe shamez23'd just back up his apps with Titanium Backup, let the new build create a new data.img, and then restore using Titanium backups again.

As for myself, I just transfer the previous data.img over to the new Android folder before loading. It's worked for me multiple times. I'd only change to a new data.img based on Cope's or Warren's advice.

As a rule of thumb, always save at least the 2 previous working Android builds with intact data.img :cool:
[HD2 Android SD Development] BIOYAM:
Wow mmmm mmmm good!

I will look past the expired coupon, since the attachment made me salivate!
[HD2 Android SD Development] BIOYAM:
On par, it is! I remember it being totally destroyed and was tremendously happy when it just worked......... I will patiently wait for that updated driver.

Wow, great news! ..... I know that everyone here are waiting in anticipation for these too!!!

I end up uninstalling an "update" then update it with the current Market.apk and it works after a reboot.... I can understand if this is not on the priority list, since I am sure you are working on more important issues. Just thought I would mention it.

I'll test on different class SD cards and post my findings, once released.

You, Cope and the rest of your supporters are welcome!!!

It seems like the ACA Team has it all under control.... I will be patient and partake in the forthcoming feasts!
[HD2 Android SD Development] chemass:
Hi.

I had the same issue a little while ago.

Ensure that all of your partitions are primary partitions. My WP7 partition was set as logical - when i made it a primary partition it all started working properly again!
[HD2 Android SD Development] xauzainhatvn:
I think the Lag Lockscreen not be comlete fix yet. Turn on/off screen not smooth.

And some time delay and appear the F/C wait many time,

And the Light Sensor still run not good,

BT hard to pair with Not Android phone, but in Ultimate Droid, they run ok very early.

Thanks.

gps.conf

devs: Would you kindly consider including this script into ACA, it checks whether there is gps_zone set in the startup.txt and if so then modify gps.conf accordingly.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
Have you tested this?

I'm looking at the code, seems just fine.

Just wanna know if you've tested this thoroughly, even changing the gps zone urself between reboots?

if so, consider this implemented into at least the dev builds.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
Just updated to the latest kernel (thanks warren), and during the first couple of minutes after boot I hit a couple of wait/fc errors....but now that everything is loaded properly I've tried jumping in and out of apps and loading a bunch of pages in quick succession in the browser....and nothing :D Early days but think you might have kicked this problem into touch mate!
[HD2 Android SD Development] GSDLt:
Hello,

I am new to the android world, thus it maybe that this is a noob question, but I haven't found anyone else having this problem searching the forum and the web, and, yes, I have read like the last 60 pages of this thread.

Whenever an Icon appears in the notification bar (the one all the way at the top) my HD2 with ACA 0521 vibrates twice. I want to switch this off. This happens even when all alarms are set to no vibration. I have run out of Ideas. I don't need the phone to vibrate when Astrid syncs, trillian starts or forfone launches... Any Ideas?

Oh, and I just remembered another littel nuisance you maybe able to help me with. Speech recognition. For "typing" texts in german it works great, but when I try to use the voice dialer it only works when I use english pronunciation, even though the Interface suggest German words.

Thanks so much in advance
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I've only ever had the FC/wait issue with one app and that appeared to coincide with a version change to the XDA app.

This appears to be gone with the 525 kernel.

Is there anything else we should be testing?

Battery Life is good for me !! it just doesnt connect to VPN !! whY ?! how can i fix this ?!

[HD2 Android SD Development] gillgrylls:
I get tons of lag and FCs with May 21 build. Reformatted card before installing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
This is good as it will do away with the need for Fasterfix.

Did you have any luck in trying to implement LCD Density in a similar way?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
If this is not a fresh install, then it suggests that your data.img is corrupt.

You have ensured that your SD card is clean and then copied the problem back.
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
Or you can just leave it that way, one FAT32 and one swap, with that you have all the benefits of the swap partition (increased speed) and still no problems that might arise with the ext partition.

Don't see any reason to do it differently, why should you forfeit a possible performance increase? Especially when it only "costs" you 128mb...
[HD2 Android SD Development] stalker780:
I have the same problem after upgrading from 27.Apr build to 21.May. Decided something's wrong with data.img or SD.

Formatted my SD with SDFormat, made a clean install. Still got a lot of lags and "Application doesn't respond"... And a battery drain 60-80mAh in a flight mode :(

BTW I played with SD caching in 05mountsd. Tried 2048, 4096, 512, 128 and the last is the fastest.
[HD2 Android SD Development] loaferkan:
okay I downloaded the GPS Status, how do I change the region?:confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bazzz66:
What speech recognition do you use?
[HD2 Android SD Development] maneken25:
Dont see reason why, it will not make any crucial modifying it will only help you to fast change to region/country code which you can also change manualy but this app gives you chance to do that in few clicks
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
yep, if I type "free" in the terminal (as found in the awesome FAQ), I see that some capacity of my swap partition is in use, terefore I assume that it works.
[HD2 Android SD Development] maneken25:
Download also Fasterfix.

Open fasterfix, choose your region/country from dropdown menu. Example if you are in europe you can choose that or country if its shown in menu. Also you can manualy input you country pool code by going on dropdown menu and choose custom, if you dont know your code try to google up or ask in forum.

Open gps status app to check is everything working with gps.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nelthalin:
Whooot this is great news!

I still have a old MDJ 4.6 in my NAND but that one is no good it had FC issues. But its so fast compared to SD cards.

I would love to have a ACA NAND version!
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Or wait for the Burger Thursday update, which hopefully will include shost's GPS script, so you will be able to do everything that Fasterfix does, by editing the Startup.txt with the GPS code for your country.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Have you wiped the swap partition, to make sure that the use has happened after you have had no sd-ext partition?

Problem with contact pic facebook sync

I am struggeling with syncing my facebook contacts' pic to my contacts (all are corporate contacts added trough outlook and then synced). I've even downloaded the app called sync my pic, but all it seems to do is to download the pics of your contacts and then letting you manually add them to..

Anyway, I currently got sync activated for outlook, facebook and gmail. However as I said I prefer to add my contacts trough outlook or save them as "corporate" on the phone - understanding this is the way to sync them with outlook when first saved on the phone.

Is it so that the phone will only sync with those who have their number listed on facebook? Yes, I have checked that the name on the phone maches EXACTLY the name on facebook.

Im using AmeriCanAndroid GB233 CyanogenMod7 (on my HTC HD2 ofc...).
[HD2 Android SD Development] codiak:
I dont think that this problem is related to ACA.

Maybe its better to ask that question in the "Android - General Q&A" section?
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
I performed a format after re setting up my sd, always do that when I mess around with partitions...

I just installed chainfires openGL driver, messed up my 3d galery and I didnt see much improvement graphics wise (thought it might help us get rid of these ugly as hell gradients all over...). Though performance is a lot better, loads pics instantly, but they look crappy.

I read its good to play games that need a better chip (tegra2), but it only makes sense in pro version, where you can specify which app shall be affected and more important, which not...

Hmmm.... installed files from link, all seemed to work OK. Then Wi-Fi went off and refused to come back on! Kept getting 'Error' next to Wi-Fi checkbox. No amount of reboots or other jiggery pokery would fix it.

Replaced this bundles zImage with the one from 52111, reboot... Wi-Fi working again :)

Just thought I would let you know in case anyone else gets the same issue.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikkeltysland:
That could be, but was curious to see if anyone else had the same problem as me? Dont know any of my friends with android which got the same problem. It syncs most of the contacts, but for some reason it shuffles some of the pics around and skips syncing others. The ones which gets wrong picture have no where near the same name or number... I really dont get this =/??

You don't need to uninstall ADW to run another launcher. In fact you may want to keep it for reference. There is a neat app called Home Chooser Flow which allows you to switch easily between various launchers. A great idea for when you're trying them all out and seeing which one you prefer.
