another fantastic update, thanks and congrats to the developers :)

i have a question for anybody who can provide a knowlegeable answer.

i've got my phone back from service (replaced lcd+digitizer+keypad assembly) and the g-sensor stopped working in android ever since. it is very strange because it works in wm6.5 and wp7.

i know it's not the build because i also tested previous versions that i used before and of course, worked.

obviously, i did a clean reinstall of everything (except hspl) and i also formatted the sd card.

so, what could be the cause of this strange issue?

many thanks :)

Look for my Online Backup in this thread ;)

just back from work....... downloading 0623 now......

no more sod so far, but aca-hd2 is in heavy use ...

everythings fine ... i stay with this build ...

thx cope and warren and everybody ...
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Upgrading now.

I want to be a full ACA user again.

And btw, SetCPU 2.2.1 is out :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] paul211b:
In standby I am using 60mA with no wifi or anything running, I know these builds usually get better after a day or 2 but no one seemed to have mentioned this so I am thinking this is just me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jason370:
I'm getting freezups on the boot screen. the little spinning space android just stops and that's that. not sure if its just me or others too.

best,

jason
[HD2 Android SD Development] AGrigorov:
This release appears to be much faster and smoother then the previous few. No more lag for the proximity sensor and call answering. Awesome.
[HD2 Android SD Development] anap40:
I think I might give this a shot again just to see how it works. I was a full time ACA user, but after the last months worth of build I switched over to NAND builds and they work great, alot less bugs than I was having here. Are you guys still working on a NAND version?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jason370:
can you elaborate on this some more please? i'm not sure i understand.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jason370:
nevermind, i figured it out.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jason370:
Ok so I cant seem to get this build to load. I've tried multiple time and i keep getting frozen on the boot animation. I'd rather not go the 5/12 data image route if i don't have to, call me a purist.

any thoughts?

thanks,

jason
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
First impressions:

WOW !!!! Fast, smooth and solid.

1. The battery drain is not that bad, it is a bit bigger then infamous June kernels but I guess the system needs to settle down

2. USB-PC/MAC still not solved (Cyanogen's fault)

3. I miss 128MHz

...

4. The volume of the in-coming calls' rings is still too low for my taste

Congrats ACA team. You're rocking again :)

...

and yes, my old, good March data.img is working flawlessly :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
Old data.img not working?

Just wanna share a tip i just discovered;

I've been following the ACA versions for about half a year now and never had a problem using the same data.img file except once in april.

Today i tried the 23 June version with my existing data.img file couldnt boot; it kept at the HTC sign for almost 30mins. So here's what i did.

I generated a new data.img and copied the anroid folder to my phone and ran clrcard & haret. Everything worked and after the phone did its usual first time run shut down, i rebooted it into winmo, copied my original data.img over and ran clrcard & haret. Everything loaded up nicely with all my settings and programs intact.

Things seems snappier with this version!

Gratitude! May the gods look upon you with favor!
[HD2 Android SD Development] jason370:
How'd you generate a new data image? can you walk me through that please? I'm currently downloading the 5/12 build and going to generate that data image, but i'm not exactly sure what to do next. there's a lot of files and i don't want to mess it up. your help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

jason
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Just spent about an hour in WinMo 6.5 downloading the new version of both this ROM, and 7Zip (From Sourceforge - Version 9.22 works great) and have now just ectracted the new build, and am in the process of reboting...

I alwyas think it is a bit strange when I do that, as it is using WinMo to download and extract its replacement, but most of all, I found that after using ACA since pre ACA days, I now no longer enjoy using WinMo, to any degree. It is amazing, as I have used WinMo for years and years, and totally loved it, now I find it clunky and slow, go figure. Thanks for the new build Cope and Warren, I'll update if I have any issues, but not expecting any...

And for those that want to use WinMo to extract this build, go here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/files/7-Zip/9.22/

Get this file: 7z922-arm.exe and download it directly to your phone, run it, and it will install 7Zip for you. If on a PC, grab the appropriate MSI or EXE file, then the next time there is an update and you are not by your PC, a simple boot back to WinMo will let you extract and copy, and will be in business in no time...
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Delete the old on in WinMo, and run android again, it will create a new data.img for you. I would recomend running fix permissions from ROM manager, after first boot, (Do not run anything while this is running) and reboot, but that is really all you oneed to do.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mrchloo:
not only u~~~. everything was fine except i got 60~70ma in standby after made a call. this happen also in previous builds. i did clean install with new data file still no help. now back to 052611 build.:(
[HD2 Android SD Development] manoruz:
probably with this build it's not just you paul2b11 but what i found helps is rebooting into winmo - turn on flightmode, then back into android, then reboot again. your standby current drain should be back to normal - 4-8ma

sometimes as well, just going into your computer (my computer) then your sd card properties, run a checkdisk to fix the file system, it sometimes does the trick for me as well

hope it goes down - mine with the current build is suberp!
[HD2 Android SD Development] jason370:
ok so:

1) i have no winmo, i have wp7 but although i'm quite well versed in winmo, i'm not sure i understand your instructions. do you mean to boot into winmo and use a file explorer to delete the old file? i currently do all of this on my pc using an sd card reader.

UPDATE: I deleted the data.img using teh sd card reader and i'm trying to boot back up. i'll keep you posted.

2) i cannot boot, not at all. i get constant freezups which never actually result in my booting into android, so i cant follow andy post-android boot instructions because i cant boot into android.

thoughts?

thanks

jason
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
This links to a 1gb data file that you can use as a new data.img file.

It's a zip file that will unzip to a data.img that's 1gb. and you can just copy over to your android folder.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jason370:
thanks, ill try anything. can you tell me why a 1gb data image should yield better results?
[HD2 Android SD Development] xavierh:
I upgraded to the 0623 build and I used my 0620 image. So far so good
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
I am not sure if it's better. Correct me if i am wrong but a 1gb data.img file means the android system will have a 1gb internal phone memory space.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jason370:
UPDATE to UPDATE: that didn't work. same thing...freezup. trying the 5/12 data image trick now, and then i'll give the 1gb data image trick a try, just because.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
What exactly is your problem?

Did you ever have a working version of this build?

You are using wp7. That means you are using magldr to boot. Did you do the stuff described in the readme file you find in the magldr folder?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jason370:
I have successfully installed and used every single American Android build dating back to when it was called Warrenbread. I have never once encountered any serious issue until this version, which now i cannot seem to get past the boot animation.

please correct me if i'm wrong, but the fact that it goes to boot animation, should mean that i did shorten the rootfs.img file in the magldr folder and copy back to android folder, right? otherwise i wouldnt be able to get to the boot animation.

i'm trying various workarounds, but it would seem i'm the only one with this problem, thus far; it is however, early in the game.

sigh.

jason
[HD2 Android SD Development] joescian:
Yes unfortunately you are the only one with this problem. This build is absolutely brilliant and if anyone has issues with it - its their own isolated issue and not a problem with the build. The build is super - well done Cope and Warren - you may well have excelled yourselves again:D:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] jason370:
im confident at some point ill utter these same words. please know im not criticizing the build, cope and warren have been godsends to me and my phone joie de vivre. i'm just reporting what is going on.

thanks guys, ill keep plugging away until i get it working. i did just get 5/12 working fairly quickly.

jason
[HD2 Android SD Development] jason370:
set cmdline "rel_path=Android nand_boot=0"

should this be set to 1 or 0? i noticed a month or two back the startup text was no longer in the sdmagldr folder, thus it could not be copied over with the rootfs.img file. can someone help me better understand the difference between the 1 and 0 here?

i ask because i noticed in the 5/12 build it is set to one, after copying the startup.txt from sdmagldr but in the 6/23 build it is set to 0. of course, i believe it has been set to 0 in several previous builds which worked fine for me, so i doubt this is a significant piece of information for my current boot freezing woes; i'd just like to better understand.

thanks

jason
[HD2 Android SD Development] paul211b:
thanks for the advice I will give this ago now and keep an eye on it for a day or two.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cajunflavoredbob:
From this previous list, I have gone through and checked them all again to see if and where the problems were still persisting. The results from the 23 June build are in line. Just as before, I made certain that every single app was working, then did a reboot, and checked them out again.

Still happening.

EDIT2: Fixed!

Fixed!

Fixed!

Still happening.

EDIT: Fixed!

I didn't get a shut down this time, but it did freeze and FC on the seventh picture. I guess that's a partial fix!

EDIT2: Camera app froze on the first picture I attempted to take. It did not FC this time, and pulling the battery was the only solution. Not sure what's the deal with it. Anyone else noticing this behavior?

I searched back a few months, but I didn't see why there are two of them. One person said there was one in English and one in French, but mine are both English and identical.

EDIT2: One is version 2.2.1, while the other is version 2.2.1.2. Does anyone know why we need both?

Still happening.

EDIT2: Fixed!

Still happening. Now I can try to uninstall from the Market. It always fails, but allows me to reinstall it right after that and retain my user data.

EDIT: Fixed!

Fixed!

Fixed!

Fixed!

Still happening.

EDIT: Fixed!

Did not experience it. Possibly fixed.

Still happening. It's really random.

That's about ten and a half fixes out of this list in one build. Very good job, guys!

EDIT: Ok, so after another reboot, some things are working again, and others are broken. I edited the numbers that were fixed after another reboot. I am getting FC's in com.android.phone and Handcent Messenger App. It happens when the device tries to make a cell connection of any kind, data or voice. I turned Airplane mode on and rebooted again to see if went away. It persisted through a reboot. I'm not sure what happened. All I did was reinstall a few apps. Nothing at all related to either of those functions was touched.

EDIT2: Ok, so I went take a dump and during that, I restored the Phone settings, and that fixed the FC from the previous edit. I also noticed that the text messages are persisting through a reboot now, so that's a win as well. While I was in the bathroom, I managed to get and maintain a GPS lock.

This brings my issues down to only the newer camera app freezing and the Music^3 app randomly skipping a half second. 90% problem solved! Way to go, guys!

HI - I am sure this should be set to 1 in this build because of the switch to an earlier kernel - which required it be set to 1.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dumbquestion:
I was loving this upgrade till I noticed the "error" on wifi with no ability to change any settings. I tried doing the above and all's happy in new burger world. love your work and contributions cope, warren et al.

+1 to manoruz for bumping the all-volume low issue. Eyes & ears fading before most everything else (don't ask my wife) so 220 min resolution helps, but more volume would be very kind. Thanks for for all your work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Ryoukou:
Updated today, seems to work fine. But i have one issue:

With this build the reduced lockscreen is back :(

Any chance to scale it to fullscreen?
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Jason, try formatting your sdcard in winmob and starting from scratch scratch...

New build, eh? I will do a clean install to this and report back my results.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
can anyone else confirm this cause.... nothing changed here... and its working fine on my device. what do you mean reduced lock screen?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
nand_boot=1 is correct. sorry i forgot that in the change. dammit.

ill fix the package and reupload it. thank you for the heads up people.
[HD2 Android SD Development] retsam88:
This build feels very responsive, great work.

Though VPN confirmed to be non working.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jason370:
i cant format in winmo because i dont have winmo however, i always format on my pc via sdcard reader and that didnt help. same thing, freeze up.
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
Experienced reduced lockescreen at first install attempt, right after reboot. Got SOD'ed after restart, checked card on PC, found errors, corrected (not necesserily related to lockscreen problem), did clean install again, lockescreen normal this time, no issues since.
[HD2 Android SD Development] daniel_kiefer:
New build is nice. No post-call lag! So far everything is rock solid. Batt drain is up there, but it's too soon to judge; I'll let it settle some more first. Only problem I have is wifi doesn't work after booting if it's on at boot. This isn't new though, has been happening for some builds now. Definitely not a deal breaker though. A quick cycle of turning wifi on and off or Restart Connections does the trick. Is there a way to run Restart Connections at the end of the boot automatically?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
wifi error should also not be happening.

try forgetting your current remembered access points and re add them

if that doesnt work and you cant even turn on wifi

verify file size

zImage 2,398,960

system/lib/modules/bcm4329ko 250,784

if those dont match then u did something like switch kernels or modules
[HD2 Android SD Development] 5do12:
Just a quick update

I've been using my data.img since January on all ACA builds without any problems. I just keep on overwriting my Android folder with a new one from each build, restart, and everything works just as it should. I've experienced glitches as all of the users with recent builds, but with the actual one, everything I had an issue with seems to be fixed.

Fantastic work from Cope & Warren, this current build is the top for me as of now!

One more point: I'm using SPB's Shell3d launcher and I'm just amazed how smooth & well everything works and looks absolutely fantastic.

Great work guys!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] jason370:
wait, so that is the reason i keep getting freezups in the boot animation?
[HD2 Android SD Development] JesusFreak316:
I assume he means it doesn't fill up the whole screen and needs to do the uncheck compatibility mode in spare parts trick.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
okay guys..

bare it in mind.

we reverted the kernel. so some of the things we previously had fixed are now back. do we REALLY need to go through the whole 1000's of posts regarding the little issues? we did it once already. lets NOT do it again. just give us some time to get it back up to par. the build is good no? lol there's a reason we reverted back to may 12.. and as you can see we are stable now. NOW we can move forward and get all these other little issues solved. im workin on it right now so we will indeed talk again soon :) hehe bare it in mind

sadly... i know the answer to this already. lol
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
I'm glad.

0512 was the build I used to escape to, when things got overly sluggish.

One small additional bonus of 623 is that the hardkeys backlight turns off after few seconds, just like i did in WinMo.
[HD2 Android SD Development] reijkelhof:
airplane mode

I read in this thread that some people set their wimo to airplane mode before booting into android (may help battery drain?)

When I put my wimo in airplane mode and have booted into android, I receive a message from my provider saying they see my phone is not set up to use the internet and that I will receive a second message soon with the right settings. This second message never arrives and I cannot use internet.

so:

wimo on airplane mode = no internet in android

what am I missing?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Ryoukou:
Unchecking compatibility at spare Parts helped, thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Tried to send you a PM, but was denied... Wanted to thank you for your work on the netfilx app, it looks super good on my HD2, but I also will add, I installed it on my Viewsonic gTab, with CM7 (and a build.prop tweak) and it is absolutly stunning...

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] Shadowguy:
Working flawlessly for me THANKS x10000 :D:D:D:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
Problem seen by others :

- reduced lock screen : not present (with data.img from 2011/06/20);

- nand_boot : no problem as i personnalize it everytime;

- Wifi : no pb, even with hidden SSIS;

My problem ;

- no BT auto connection with my In-Car BT;

- enabling discoverable mode in phone, and the connection was made;

- but when in-car BT restart, never auto-connect ;-(

- tryied to pair twice : not succed (but didn't take a lot of time to try it (on road, it's not good to play with this !);

- will try next time to delete pairing in both devices again, and try again.

Anyone else with this problem ?

The rest is really very fast, launching app is faster, no more pb with stop/start build, all app are runnable again (i also delete the sd-ext part);

DAta are good, battery is correct between 6-10 with nothing up; about 10-30 with data, and sometimes till 70.

This can be better (and has been better), but it's better than previous builds.

Awesome WORK !!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] lantern20:
So far my only problems are with bt not working properly. If I do get the earpiece connected it doesn't work anyway. No voice dialing, no hanging up.
[HD2 Android SD Development] eelpout:
6/23 seems like a great build!

(solved all my previous hardware button and missing lock screen issues by only restoring the struck through apps (& data) from Titanium Backup and nothing else)
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Looks like someone working on a Gingerbread Sense 3.0 build got the camera of the HD2 to work in 720p mode.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/hd2-keeps-on-living-sense-3-0-with-working-720p-camera/

Of course, it's a Sense ROM and the camera included probably only works in a Sense environment but as I remember, the problem with getting the camera to record in 720p was because of missing drivers.

Even if it's impossible to get the HTC camera to work in a non Sense build, there may be a chance to use the drivers for our purpose.

Not that I use the camera but I know a lot of people do and they surely would be happy about the higher quality mode.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
One sets the home button to use the car dock and the other is the car dock. Apparently there is some technical reason why the two apps can't be combined.

I use Car Dock V3 and the author explains this in his description.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
I am going to give it a try this weekend on a spare as card, but from the posts in the thread, it may be the same 1fps we have now. I will let you know after I try it, but not an avid sense fan, so don't see it as a daily ROM for me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] webvan:
Still rockin' here !

Battery drainage is a tad higher than before at around 4.8% per hour with the HD2 idel and the screen off, versus 4% with 0610. Still ok.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dirty k:
wow also been pretty happy w 0623...haven't tested bt but everything else is movin'.....thanks warren n cope
[HD2 Android SD Development] reijkelhof:
I am noticing the same drainage, where on the builds before 11b-06 I had only 1%/h drain.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mrchloo:
hv u been ever trigger the proximity function like made a call. while making call the screen off when phone facing to ear. this is the problem i found in june builds every new reboot i trigger the proximity function it will stayed high current drain in standby mode about 60ma. other was fine for me. anyone know how to disable proximity? to further test the problem.

remark: i did clean install with new data file and testing the proximity with problem without install others application i also did reformat sd card .
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
I want to say this is by far the best and most stable version that I have used to date. I have had 0 problems with this build. No SOD's, no FC's, no lag, no anything that I have been geting. Not sure what the battery drain is yet, still letting it settle. WI-FI works like it always has, no data drops, blue tooth works. Everything is insanely fast. I have seen that some people are having problems with the usb to pc connection. Since the first day I have used this rom I have yet to have 1 prob with usb to pc, may be because i use LINUX as my OS, not sure. Again thanks for all the hard work, you guys are awesome!!! Will post if having any problems.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sacredabyss:
This is a great build, thanks Cope & Warren, but there is 1 problem. I can't connect it with my computer, the driver cannot befound. Any fix for it?

thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
It is in this thread a few hundred posts back

Last minute news.

I got 2 FC/Wait's - using Market right after toggling WiFi on (I guess it is normal)

Quadrant results are lower then with faulty June kernels or T10. I got humble 1390
[HD2 Android SD Development] AGrigorov:
Use "Multi Mount SD-Card lite" from the market
