try either downloading the file and unzipping it again, my first unzip, the CLDR and Haret folders were corrupt, unzipped it again and installed it no problems, I've got to add that this build is absolutely fantastic, the battery drain is non existent, if anything its better now than running on WinMo, lost a mere 9% of battery overnight, in sleep it seeems to drop to between 2 and 9Ma which is fantastic, this is fanally a truly useable day to day Android build with everything working as it would with Native android.....I can't think of anything that could be improved. If this is ported to NAND I'll definately be dumping WinMo once and for all, I wonder if Cope and Warren could figure out a way to 'cook' RSAP support into this, would be the final cherry on the cake as far as I'm concerned, thanks to you guys for all the hard work and perseverance in getting these awesome Roms to us.

are you referring to rootfs.img.sdmagldr from SDMAGLDR folder..??
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheNT:
;)

And some of us were crazy and haters for wanting to bring things better :)

Missed you Warren :) Calm soul off ACA.

At wrong time for me... weekend are very busy for me :)

I'll try at monday, but i see it looks very very promissing.

Someone mentioned that charger/led on/power on bug, hapens on older builds too.

hey guys,

ive got a question...i cant seem to add certain widgets on my home screen, i seem to not be able to add the current widget...ive tried rebooting a couple of times and reinstalling but still nothing...i downloaded another widget and it adds fine...

any suggestions?

thanks in advance

update: i cant seem to add any more widgets! help!
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
Hi,

Did you try with an empty desktop, and to add the widget you want directly ?

Search causes soft reboot

Hey guys,

Using 071511 and Everything is fine after install.. but after next reboot I can't use "search" anymore.

Google search bar causes soft reboot (black screen followed by flying android loading screen, back to enter PIN screen)

But also AppBrain search bar button does nothing and Market search button does nothing (they register the press, but nothing happens afterwards)

Anyone else having this? Tried reinstalling but same thing happened.

TIA

Edit: Presuming the Market, AppBrain and Google bar all use a common function? Can't be chance they all stop working.

Edit 2: I reinstalled, using the same data img, using search bar is now causing full restart. Sigh.

Android-System

Did you try the same wallplug? I noticed that I have some plugs in my appartment that translate to 500mA current for the phone and others considerably more, around 800mA - charging time decreases accordingly.

I think its much better with the taskbar at the bottom, I have the tablet buttons on the ledt and set the status bar to only open if I swipe on the right side. Since most of the apps that run all the time give the option to disable the status bar icon (Lookout, LBE, Watchdog 3G) its enough space for notifs and I find it much more convenient to not have to reach all the way to the top of our huge screens to draw down the status bar :D

Would be cool if you could also post the other screen so we could see the usage time and drainers.

Talking of drainers, I decided to make more of a long run test with regards to that Android-System drain occuring every now and then (I feel it a lot easier to resist the urge of constantly updating when you skip one or two releases... this really is like an addictive drug :D).

I will do it with below setup as I have no problems whatsoever and I find it is not kernel related but more of a cyan 2.3.4 (on SD?) issue since it was introduced with the step from 2.3.3. to 2.3.4. afaik (could actually be wrong in this thread, but I don't think its anywhere close to being big enough to make a new one).

I have noticed that every other day, suddenly Android-System (A-S) moves to the top drainers, and all you do consumes more battery than before, browsing using up to 500+mA. If you are on a non A-S day, like I happen to be today, browsing does not go beyond 300-350mA (I always read the same newspapers in the morning on wlan). I spent 35 consecutive mins browsing and lost 7% charge, not bad if you ask me as I could be browsing on for 8+h on one charge. :eek:

As you can see A-S is nowhere to be found.

Yesterday however I had a A-S day and my phone lost charge a lot faster and especially during times of less or none use. I have not rebooted the phone but merely plugged it in and now today A-S is gone. What I hope to find is not necessarily a cause (I really don't hope it gets better the longer you don't update a build... ;)) but maybe a pattern, to create awareness and maybe find a workaround like rebooting the phone to get it back to that non A-S state.

What are your experiences on the above?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Straynart:
I think your apps [+ widgets] are on the SD memory. If you transfert them to the phone memory, you'll be able to see them again.

I am so sad...my HD2 has its tactil screen broken...no response, no tactil...unusable...in repair…can't test this ROM version.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dyval:
ACA Builds Rocks!

I will try the latest build..but I'm quite satisfied with the 070911 build as the battery drain is very minimal this is my first post @ the development thread!yahoo..

Proud to be an XDA'er :)

[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
Hi guys, If anyone notice specifics changes in batt drain with an older radio, it could be good (as i see that some made the test, your feedbacks could help everyone (and me ;-))

In Win 6.5, changin radio was making loose of all Wifi and BT paired devices, has anyone notice it with radio change ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
That was me. Its always turned off after I received a notification or plugged it in, but this time it just stays on. Also, its amber this time whereas in previous versions it was green. Just my observations.

Also, although my widget claims 40-60ma draw, I've only seen a 4% drop in the last 2 hours with moderate usage. I'm happy with that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
and for this problem the clue i remember was to disable/enable led notification in settings, to get it working...no ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uruk007:
thanx mate, it worked for me to.. looks great, thanx guys
[HD2 Android SD Development] Tubgirl:
Thanks Warren for upping the CPU voltage. I downloaded the 071511 build and have been running it for a several hours now without freezes. On my HD2 that has been impossible to do with the last couple of builds... great job!

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
I will try that next time. Usually plugging and unplugging works.

@tubgirl: I was wondering if it had worked for you since I saw they upped the voltage.

SMS text does not show in status bar after soft buttons are applied.

Hi,

I had posted this earlier, but didnt get a reply then except from Prashanth. Still having the issue.

When i turn ON the tablet buttons on the status bar. I dont see the preview of new sms on the status bar. If I turn it off, i can. Is this the normal behavior?

Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Cerisal:
Dear Cope and Warren, I know you stated that you don't want to hear about the battery drain again, but I found a fix for myself and I hope it is ok to share it.

As a few other users I still had 60 mA after call or using bluetooth headset for hours with the newest build. A few pages back it was stated that it eventually has to do with the proximity sensor. I downloaded proximity sensor finder from the market and got again 60 mA after using the sensor.

Since I really don't need the proximity sensor, I decided to disable it by editing /system/lib/hw/sensors.htcleo.so as stated here and since then I did not have the battery drain problem again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] wimhoegee:
Battery better

Great build. Battery now lasts longer.

Thanks guys.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
I have to say - I am working on a very very drastic battery usage spike. Without Wifi or BT i have to recharge my phone TWO or THREE times a day - with 10 or 15 minutes summary talking time.

All my tweaks and trick are useless now (the only thing I've not tried is clean install).

And second matter.

I've bought recently a Peugeot 207 with WIP NAV Navigation and BT connections system and had a very big problem with phone adress/phones book. The solution was quite easy - download and install from AM Bluetooth FTP server (obex) - and now access is granted.

Switching to the latest build and working on a battery drain issue.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
GPS works better than ever with the new build.

As ever to get it working to it's full potential, Fasterfix and GPS Status & Toolbox are recommended by many.

What was wrong with your old data.img?
[HD2 Android SD Development] alphaandomega:
WOW! My phone was lying around for 3 hours - and the batter is at 97%! That's an awesome result, I have to say! I don't know, guys, it seems to me like the battery is doing MUCH better now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sanju.b80:
Couldn't it just be the battery problem?
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
If you're reffering to problem nr.2 - that is not a battery fault. CM7 - as far as I know, doesn't have BT FTP stack implementet (obex). External app worked as a charm.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sanju.b80:
I was referring to Problem no. 1.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
I don't have a fix for you, but I can say that it should still show the sms notify in the task bar.

Maybe try a clean install on a seperate sd card see if you have the issue still.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
I didn't get it. I purchased another piece (mine is 1 year old) and waiting for it's arrival.

In the other hand WinMo is not showing this kind of drainage effect.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sanju.b80:
Thanks.

But i'm not sure if that has anything to do with a clean install or not. Because if i turn off the tablet tweaks, it shows the sms text.

Let me correct here that i DO see the notification on the status bar. But without Tablet tweaks, i also see the sms text in the status bar. With Tablet tweaks, it doesn't show the sms text.
[HD2 Android SD Development] farangdang:
Thanks for the APN settings. Good to have something to compare against. Do you or anybody else have any idea why I would not be able to receive calls? I have no idea what I might have changed or set on my phone, but I am still able to make calls, and mms/sms works, I can get to market, and everything else seems to work, but incoming calls go direct to voice mail. I've spent a while searching for similar problems, but nothing matches my problem. Anybody have any ideas?

My phone build is from 041311.

Thanks,

Bill
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Have a look at Settings > Call Settings > Call Forwarding

I'm guessing that Always Forward may have been checked.

That is an old build and there have been many improvements since then - time for an upgrade...
[HD2 Android SD Development] farangdang:
Thanks. I had checked Call Forwarding already, and removed the 2-3 numbers I had in the blacklist. I was on a June build, but battery usage went bad, so was trying to find an older one because the AA was previously pretty good on battery usage. Going to just clean it all up and start fresh with the most recent build and see how that goes.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Babyexp:
Ad-blocking?

First, thanks to Cope, Warren, and all contributors for making my HD2 not suck. Second, the game Big Time Gangsta tries to open a browser link when I am shopping for guns etc. and tap Earn free cred. I am getting "The Web page at https://ws.tapjoyads.com/get_offers/webpage? udid=357779039667280&device_name=HTC%20HD2&device_type=android&os_version=2.3.4&country_code=US&language=en&app_id=bd1eaac0-9e33-45b8-b497 86dda2d09929&app_version=1.1.3&library_version=7.1.1&screen_density=167&screen_layout_size=3&publisher_user_id=357779039667280 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address." Is due to the built-in as blocking working as it should, and if so can I disable this feature or just enable this app?

Many Thanks,

You could try to delete the hosts file. To do this, run Terminal, and type (you need to press the Return (Enter) key after each line):

su

cp /etc/hosts /sdcard/

rm /etc/hosts

exit

The first line gives the Terminal program root privileges (Superuser might prompt you to allow Terminal to access root partitions; you need to allow it), the second line copies the hosts file to the root of your sdcard (for backup), and the third line deletes the adblocking hosts file. The fourth line exits root mode, and then you can exit the Terminal with the back key. Before issuing the third command (rm ...) you might want to check whether the "cp ..." command succeeded by issuing:

ls /sdcard

wright after the "cp ..." command, and you should look for the file "hosts" on the list that you get, and if you have that file on your sdcard, then you can proceed to the "rm" command.

If you want to reverse the procedure then launch terminal, and type:

su

cp /sdcard/hosts /etc/

exit

and now press the back key to close the terminal program.

[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
Hmmm. That is weird. Do you have any themes applied? Maybe thay has something to do with it...but at this point I'm at a loss. Sorry I couldn't help more.

I would also like to add that under moderate usage for 8 hours today I still have 70% battery left. That's with HSPA on while I was at work. My signal drops there a lot because of bad reception and typically I shut off data there when not in use but I figured I'd give it a try leaving it on to see and the results were amazing to say the least. Normally with data enable at work I have somewhere around 50% battery left. With the new build the results are great.
[HD2 Android SD Development] d3m0n1:
I have it too, and i think that it's "normal" behavior (it is made to be that way, or not made to be the other way :-) ).

[HD2 Android SD Development] Unequal77:
fantastick build, everything is the best so far, but battery problem still persist for me. After a call never goes under 68. :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] d3m0n1:
I was also having batt drain after a call, and made the modification you posted, and I can confirm, that it solved the drain problem (current went down to 4 mA after 2 minutes). The only drawback is,that the proximity sensor is not working now. But for now I'm willing to sacrifice that. Maybe it's a placebo effect, but i think my device is snappier now, with the proximity sensor disabled.

Using latest build (0715) on an EU HD2, magldr 1.13, and radio 2.12.50.02_2.

Anyone getting problem with screen not unlocking after a few reboots?

It works fine for a few hours, then unlock button does nothing, doesnt even light up the buttons or screen, battery pull and it works again for a while.

(150711)
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
I'm not having any drain issues with the new build. I'm using the data image I created with the last build.

I also don't have any other issues like with the LED.

I had to pull the battery twice during first start but ever since it's working like a charm for me.

If you have problems and using an old data.img or have restored your apps and settings with a backup app, check if those problems are gone with a fresh data image and no restored apps. It will only take a couple of minutes to do that and afterwards you will know if one of your apps is acting up or your old image is faulty.
[HD2 Android SD Development] crevlthe:
I might have found something else that seems to wake the phone about 90% of the time - instead of pressing the power button once and waiting for it to come on, try holding it until the screen comes on. this seems to work much reliably than before.

oh - uninstalling SetCPU also seems to shorten the wake up time as well.

[HD2 Android SD Development] cheahcl:
Wow! This build came a long way, so much smoother than 3 months ago even!! However now a wierd problem pop out, under SD card, it says total space unavailable. Not a problem from the build 3 months ago when i tried it.

Internal total storage is .99gb and avail space is 883mb.

The SD card is partitioned fat32 13.8gb, ext 1024mb and swap 133mb... Did I format it wrong??

GPS issue

Tested the heck out of the new build and it works as good as it looks :) Couple of things I noticed was the GPS took forever to get a lock on and I mean in excess of 10 minutes and i tried it from multiple locations. Second is the LED while charging went away for some reason. The led thing is really not that big a deal but is there anything I can do about the GPS...

Why does that stupid robot animation still appear on reboot on the latest update?
[HD2 Android SD Development] daniel_kiefer:
I was about to reply to this, but I was taught if I have nothing nice to say, then just don't say anything.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
That's not very nice...evo1rs put a lot of work into it.

To answer your question, its been the boot animation for a while. Its pretty easy to change to something else. Just google change boot animation android. Should take you to the info you need.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Cerisal:
That was the first thing I tried. Unfortunately I had the drain still with a new data.img after a call.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
I know most everybody else has no problem with battery spikes with the 15th July build. I also no longer experience the 60+ mA after a call. But sadly the problem is still there. My device will from time to time and for no apparent reason jump to 70mA and will not come down until a reboot. This happens to me even at night when phone is on idle with no input whatsover from me.

I have seen the fix that involves disabling the Proximity sensor. Whereas those who have applied the fix state that everything is ok I am of the view that there is a better way of dealing with the problem by Cope/Warren. Since the real problem appears to be largely associated with the Proximity Sensor even to the extent that it is alleged to be the culprit of the 60mA batt drain with BT ON perhaps our hero cooks can now look into this more intensively. I could do the crude fix but I am not sure I want my ears and other facial parts enabling or disbaling certain functions while am on a call simply because I have disabled teh proximity sensor.

Of course if everything else fail I will disable the stupid Proximty Sensor but first I am hoping a better solution can be implemented. And please bear with me for raising the issue of battery drain again but I feel that we are very very close to having a perfect ACA 2.3.4...... ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] joescian:
If you use Cynagen setup you can choose the option to use Volume up control to wake up screen. Seems to work without fail and more responsive - plus saves your power button which may prolong its life since its a known issue with some HD2s.

[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
AGPS

Wow, really didn't expect that after the implementation of the new libs, I get a fix in 4-8 sec here...

Download tytungs LEO AGPS Injector, run it and then try again. I am not sure which version of the libs cope and warren have cooked in, there was one from qwerty that made an auto update of gps data every 24 hours, thats the one I have used (NMEA) and I get a very fast fix, even without running above said app.

Apparently the qwerty version does not propperly shut down gps chip though, some people have reported drain of 60mA after 2-7 hours of GPS use. He's working on a new version where all should be fixed.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I think the option to use the Vol button is intended as a way of preventing unwanted wake ups. Why does everyone hammer the power button? Any of the buttons will wake up your device.

That's because you are actually making use of the new libs by using AGPS. The new libs won't improve your first fix unless you have downloaded the AGPS data first. The trusty combination of Fasterfix and GPS Status & Toolbox will be all you need.
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
AGPS, Fasterfix, GPS Status

I hate to disagree with you, but I have to ;), devs made a huge leap forward in AGPS, the days of Fasterfix and GPS Status (as AGPS data injector) are most probably over.

If you use qwertys version of the libs, it will auto download AGPS data every 24h. I didnt run anything after copying said libs and had a first fix in 6s!

If cope and warren didnt cook these but tytungs libs, then you would have to copy the AGPS data yourself with above said app.

GPS Status only injects xtra.bin, not NTP time and Fasterfix only edits some lines in gps.conf, completely useless if you have a custom made gps.conf file.
[HD2 Android SD Development] blackhumor918:
Hi geenyous, is the fix of qwertys you mentioned from this post? Where we can check/find the AGPS data have been updated on a 24h basis?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15596068&postcount=1353

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Fasterfix ensures you are using the local gps pool for your region.

GPS Status ensures you have up to date AGPS data.

new GPS libs ensure that this data is interpreted properly.

You got a fast fix on first use because you already had AGPS data downloaded. Don't assume that sids8065 has the same setup as you. Without the AGPS data the new libs won't help.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nemesis2k9:
Well after testing the latest build over the weekend I have found that the battery drain is still present. The good however is that all my other problems are gone! I used to have problems when waking from sleep, sometimes performance was sluggish and talkdroid now works again. All I need now is the ability to make it through a day on 1 charge:-) Thanks. Copenhagen and Warren for a lovely build! As soon as you guys sort out this battery drain prob this will be the best SD build on xda.
