It hasn't disappeared, it's just that Windows can't see it. If you open Titanium Backup for example, it will be shown.

What did you want to use the EXT partition for?

Originally it was intended to be used for backup, but it's easier to use TB or copy your Android folder to PC.

It isn't necessary on an SD build as you don't have the limited space issues of nand users.

It's probably best to format as one single FAT32 partition to make best use of your SD card with this build.

Hi guys, would really appreciate some help

I'm not new to this business, but I am new to the Android installations, I've done my research but I don't understand whats going on, Ive followed every step, and my HD2 just gets stuck forever on a black screen with tiny letters on top saying:

" Haret boot; shutting down hardware; in preload; jumping to kernel (custom)... "

probably has a simple solution :p

Hi

Do you have HSPL 2.08 and radio from the US version of the HD2 (third number must be 50, mine is 2.12.50.2_2)? These are the primary reasons that Android won't boot.

How long are you waiting? If it's the very first boot, it can take 10 mins or more if the data.img file needs to be generated.

I'm trying to fix a co-workers HTC HD2. It *had* WM 6.5 but she somehow installed SPL 3.03 and I have been unable to make ANY progress with flashing this ROM onto her phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
[HD2 Android SD Development] ricardojorge:
This is an "Untouched" HD2, completly forgot that you need to HSPL it if you wanna try a build for the first time :p that I can resolve. But now concerning the radio, my HD2 is from the UK version (Vodafone)

Being the radio: 2.07.51.22_2

I guess then, I must get the US version radio, but were can I find it?

And do I really need the US radio in any Android build or is it specific to this one?

Thanks for help :)

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

Yes, it does take plenty of time to generate, but this is a case of hours and by looking at the screen after an eternity you can guess somethings wrong :p
[HD2 Android SD Development] d3m0n1:
Hi

I miss informed you about the radio.It's not the US radio, it's a radio from the TMobile US version of the HD2.

You need the mentioned radio for all Android builds as well as for all WP7 builds. The majority of users report good results with the radio I'm using, or the 2.15.50.xx (xx is a 2 digit number, I don't remember it, but it does not matter). You can find the radios in the HD2 wm65 partof the forum, as well as the customruu, which you can use to flash the radio.

Here is a link to the radio thread: Link

First do the hspl, then flash the radio, after that you can start using this wonderful Android ROM.

DPI

Hi gents

I have to say this build is awesome, and it makes HD2 a whole lot better :D

But unfortunetaly I'm coming across an unusual problem that many guys would have already solved by the methods I've used by now. I've used both LCD Density Modder and DPI Changer and none of them work, I perform the action, it says saved, and then after I reboot, everything's just the same :confused:

I can't go manual on this because I can't install Root Browser or anything similar on the market (DPI issue kickin in)
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
dpi is set based on the value in startup.txt - change it there
[HD2 Android SD Development] tony_75:
some apps from the market would not install on this ver?

I love the build, but why, oh whyon this particular build some market apps are not installed, while they are with the same kernel 2.3.7 with other builds/brands found on this site?? please help!
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
This has been discussed just a few pastas above yours. Google uses the dip to differentiate between tablets and phones. The default setting for this build is low and you may find that the market is fooled into thinking you have a small tablet rather than a large phone. Simply change that dip setting in startup.txt to 240 and you should have full access to the market. Previous posts have used incorrect terminology. Do not be confused between dpi and dip, they are completely different measures.

Swyped from my Rogue Xoom
[HD2 Android SD Development] tony_75:
I don't see any dip

what I see is:

set mtype 2524

set KERNEL zImage

[HD2 Android SD Development] tony_75:

set Density 240

[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
no, look at the line provided by wis1152, and change 167 in "lcd_density=167" to e.g. 240

Thanks! Have exactly the same problem with 16Gb card (invisible after boot). Restoring the backup already.

This won't change your resolution, compared with your way.

Start Android, open the Rom Manager app.

Touch "Fix Permissions".

When it's done reboot and you're ready to go.

this worked PERFECTLY for me....

Helo!

Regarding this Mar0812 version I have a great problem.

Before I updated from a last summer version my extended battery has lasted 2-2.5 days, even when I had talked 5-6 times a day and had played 1 hour daily with it.

BUT NOW this rom is drained down my battery in 24 hours without even touching it.

I have ES TaskManager and my RAM is always empty when the LockScreen is on.

Yet my battery usage shows that 46% of power has been used by Mobile Standby and 43% by Phone Idle.

I have chosen to update the ROM not fresh install, because I had some stability issues with the last one. I lost a few important calls, because the UI has frosen and had to restart. To install a new version is so painful for me since my 8GB card is not partitioned and I have lots of applications and mail accounts to install.

Can somebody come up with a fast remedy on this issue? Please!

I still want to use this ROM, 'cause it's so nice and many adjustment options and quite stable also. This phone will be inherited by mi son in about 10 days, when I will receive my new HTC One X.

Cheers!
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Two questions spring to mind...

Why don't you have a backup? Titanium or just copy your Android partition to your PC.

Have you recalibrated your extended battery?

[HD2 Android SD Development] ukdutypaid:
I'm never going to get to the bottom of the should/n't I partition the SD. I've heard do it, don't do it. Plus, I've never managed to get anything but the odd numbers I have in my sig file. Hell, it works so I'm leaving it alone I think.

Only other thing is this. Nothing to do with the build but the only thing I really ever miss from wm6.5 is MyMobiler. Has anybody used the Android version and got it to work? It's installed but I just get a FC on the keyboard.

Myphone explorer isn't bad but you use the screen image over WIFI, that I can work out anyway

Still to this day the best Office package I've ever seen is Windows office. BT was and still IS better on 6.5. I have the paid version of QuickOffice pro and it's very unresponsive. I've never managed to get Polaris working (installed but it won't open/make a doc).

One last one. Anybody feel they're experiencing more Data Drops on the March 8th build?

Feelings, experiences and thoughts really. I don't think there are 'solutions' as such, to any of the above.

Do update your Wifi tether from the built in one, by the way. It's come on leaps and bounds and with ACA build one can actually used BT at the same time. First time for that I think.

When standing in front of the refrigerator, if you have to ask yourself if you are hungry the answer is NO.

When using Android / HD2, if you have to ask yourself if you should partition your card, the answer again is NO. :cool:

[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Did you...

-backup your original rootfs.img somewhere safe.

-rename the rootfs.img.sdmagldr to just rootfs.img and

move it to your android install folder ie: /sdcard/Android

-reverse the changes if you remove magldr from your device.

From sdmagldr/!!readme!!.txt.(no need to replace startup, magldr doesn't read it)

Also did you set both wp7 and FAT32 partitions as primary using minitool partition wizard?
[HD2 Android SD Development] sda.171:
First of all- THANKS ALOT FOR YOUR REPLY!

-Yes i have done ALL that you have mentioned- I am able to boot every build on the sd section using magldr and modded rootfs except this i have no idea why!

I have successfully booted other sd magldr builds- So the partitions settings should be corect and i definitely have wp7 and fat32 as primary partitions.

it seems like a data image builds everytime i try booting it, there is a possibilty that the size of the data image is not fitting my current memory card partition size- HOW CAN I reduce the size of the data image done to like 512 just to check if thats the issue?

Please help me- Highly appreciate it man|!

AmeriCanAndroid does not boot past startup animation

For a long time my HD2 ran AmeriCanAndroid 102211 with very few hickups. But since yesterday I experience major problems. It started with my phone suddenly reacting to nothing, it was in standby but did not react to any button press. The screen stayed off.

I removed the battery and turned it on. WM started fine. Then started AmeriCanAndroid.It started booting linux and the occupy animation appeared. After that the droid animation. That animation stayed for a while but then the occupy animation returned. These two animations looped continuously.

I rebooted several times eveytime with the same result. Then I decided to update to AmeriCanAndroid 030812. Booted the phone and now it loops infinitely in the startup animation of the droid flying through the donut.

What can I do to get AmeriCanAndroid booting normally again?

[UPDATE]

I installed AmeriCanAndroid 030812 on a freshly formatted SD card. It boots fine. So something seems corrupt on my updated SD card. Are there any files I can safely remove to try to get the updated install working again without losing too much of my existing configuration.?

Problem with recent ROMs

Hi,

I first started with an old version "Copes SD Gingerbread 2.3.2/CyanogenMod 7 RC0" and I have to say that I'm pretty happy with it, it's very fast and stable. But since this version I've tried unsuccessfully to install a newer one. I mean that each time it is so unstable that I have to come back with my first version... I tried to use Titanium (by just restoring my user apps) or my old img.data.

I think that the only solution is to install manually all my apps. Any other idea?

The quality of audio over A2DP in android is not as good as it is on windows mobile using the same headset and music files.

Its not that android sounds bad but when you move between android/winmo frequently its definatly noticable

Under winmo you could adjust the bitpool via the registry depending on the bluetooth stack being used. Some stacks had it labled as linespeed?

Is it possible to adjust the bitpool used by A2DP in android builds to increase audio fidelity.

@ukdutypaid: I totally agree with all of the above.

As far as the data drops are concerned, I experience tons of data drops and SODs. I am rebooting 5-10 times a day. I think I might go back to the 010912 instance. I had formatted my Class 2 16Gb SanDisk SD in January, created an EXT3 partition and that release was running perfectly. I now used the January data.img and overwrote the Android folder of this release on top of the old one. I am having a lot more issues than before!
[HD2 Android SD Development] mobiware:
UPDATE:

After 10 reboots from the installation of the 030812 (due to SODs but also complete freezes right after waking the HD2 up from sleep with the red button), I executed "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager and rebooted. It seems to be OK now, with the exception of getting random data drops or having no data connection after waking the machine up. I then restart the data connection through a Power widget on the desktop.
