@cope,

has any of the data/connection things been added/removed/played about with? my data seems less stable than that of the 0305 build I upgraded from.

thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
You are right. But then the problematic BT fix came around the same time we were crossing over to 2.3.4.....;)

[HD2 Android SD Development] NEDSTER1972:
left it for around 5 mins but the spinning logo just freezes and all lights come on on keys.

Then nothing happens after that.

Also upon first boot it seemed to be working then it just switched phone off i switched it back on & that is when i got the freeze.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Whatever magic herbs Cope/Warren used to cook the latest rom works like charms are supposed to work. MY DATA CONNECTION IS NOW SOLID/STABLE/PERFECT. :p Will check BT later when I get to the car.

Please the rom identifies itself as 05/09/11 but we all know it is is 05/10/11 only that it is hiding its real identity to avoid those with an evil eye from casting a bad spell on its perfect self :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nelthalin:
What is that FC that everybody is talking about?
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Force Close. Happens whenever an app fails to launch or otherwise fails....
[HD2 Android SD Development] codiak:
forced close of apps
[HD2 Android SD Development] nessqn:
+1 to that..

have been doin that for many times without any problems...everything restored as before...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nelthalin:
Ah thanks.

I have had that issue with a old MDJ NAND Rom.

I'm still using my GB 2.3.3 datafile. If i get FC problems i will reinstall it and generate a new datafile. But so far it works fine :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] IndivisibleP:
:( sorry to be such a needy bum but I am still not getting any luck here.

when i went to edit the build.prop file with ES (and I did remember to enable root access btw) the "ro.sf.lcd_desity=???" already had 240 written there (which i took as a bad sign). anyway I rewrote it and saved the file. I then went to Spare Parts and unchecked Compatibility.

Restart. and still both things have stayed the same. :confused:

I am going to try both things over again, but in the meantime maybe i did something wrong you can point out... :rolleyes:

thanks for the help

E D I T : HOLD UP! I just saw that there are TWO "system" folders. One in all CAPS and the other all lower. The lower case one has the number at 167. About to restart....

EDIT # 2: ...and Great Success!! thank you both things corrected now
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
Status report after 24 hours running 0509.

Thankfully totally free of any troublesome crashes this time after formatting my SD card and creating a new data.img, everything seems to be running perfectly. I copied my photos over USB while in Android, but it was very slow, like 300kbps instead of its usual 2-4mbps. I haven't tried connecting again to see if it works but I will later today. Experienced two signal drops and it reconnected instantly, zero data drops.

Very happy bunny right now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
Hi,

Have WP7 on NAND and about 4-5 different versions of Android on SD, including AmeriCan 0501, all of which work fine. For some reason, this particular version (AmeriCan0509) is not going past the green hTC boot screen.

When I check the Android folder contents, I see that a data.img is getting created but only upto 852 MB. If I delete the file and reboot, the file does get re-created but again only upto 852 MB. I have waited for close to 20-25 mins each time I rebooted to give sufficient time for the data.img file to be created but to no avail.

I do want to use AmeriCan ROM but have held back only due to the lack of USB connectivity. If someone can help me get this version to boot, I would be very happy. :)

Regards

[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
USB to PC is connecting ok here. No fancy stories here just pure and simple USB Mass Storage like a flash disk does. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] DJGurth:
Download and use a blank data image. 512 or 1gb can be found in the forums
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Could it be that you have run out of free space on the SD card?

You will need around 1.5GB for the new install.

Why not just update your 0501 build using the existing data.img?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Well it worked the first time and built the data img, the auto shut down is normal. Try deleting the data.img and letting it build a new one.

If stills fails, backup the SD card and then reformat and use Explorer to check for errors then recopy Android back from the zip file

Great! glad you got it working :), dont forget to say thanks :D haha :)

unsure as to how you ended up with 2 system folders however? :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Amen to that ;D +1
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Did you mean - check for errors and reformat if necessary?

If there are errors after a format the card will have to filed in the bin :)

I'm guessing that you are both using 32bit versions of Windows and those of us that have problems use 64bit. Can you confirm?
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Yes Uzi. Work comp Windows XP 32 Bit.... Will test Windows 7 64 Bit when I get home.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bazzz66:
I have 64bit, no problems. Have tried it about 10x, each time it is recognized as mass storage.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Thanks. That's my theory blown out of the water ;)

The first time it works as it should, but after a "safe to remove" and unplug all subsequent attempts fail.

I can see a drive, but it is not the HD2 SD Card and when I click on it it says "Please insert a disc..."

It seems to be picking up the wrong driver and I get the same result whichever USB port I choose.

Strange that it works the first time...
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
Thanks, Uzi2!! The SD card had indeed become full.

I'm sure it's going to be smooth once I delete some unwanted folders of the card.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Nope no probs with either, 32bit Windows 7 at work, 64 bit at home, both work fine.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
See... you can only have so much of a good thing :)

It should be easier for you, though to update your existing build. Just copy the new build folder into the old one, overwriting everything. Your existing data.img will be used and you won't have to set everything up again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
usb mass storage 32-64bit

No, I too cannot confirm.

I am on Vista (I know...) 64bit and if I connect the phone it behaves like when I connect a usb stick. I then click "safely remove" and when I plug it back in it works just like before (tried 3 times just now to make sure).

Interestingly, it didn't work once on my 64bit win7 laptop and the 2nd and 3rd time it worked even lesser than the first time (no more possibility to "safely remove" the connected drive and it also tells me to "Please insert a disc...").

One more info there, though I am not sure what to do with it... :(

EDIT: it just came to my mind that I have adb installed on the machine where it works, maybe you want to give that a try?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Straynart:
At work, I use WinXP 32. At home, I use Vista 32 [not on Se7en yet].

And for both, it doesn't work. =\
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
Hmmm, as far as usb mode is concerned, just got home and tried to connect and was greeted with card may have errors (ran safely remove hardware last night so it's not that), ran the scan and attempt recovery of bad sectors which reported the card as being fine....but now it won't show up when I connect it. Maybe I should have ignored that.

Seems pretty hit and miss whether it will or will not work.

Might try updating to 0510 and see if that makes any difference
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
It was already implemented and taken out again some days before
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I think we're all using 0510 (0509c) and there are no changes to USB

[throws toys out of pram]

I want the old method back!

[/throws toys out of pram]

I have to say that I very rarely use it. Normally when I'm copying files to the SD card it's done at the same time as an update - in Winmo

On other occasions I can use Wifi
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
It is with 05-10 that Mass storage works. Could not connect with 5th and 6th builds.....
[HD2 Android SD Development] der_mattin:
Not here, unfortunately.

But for the first time, only with 0510, I can see a connect in windows explorer, but it connects / reconnects every time, and I cant access the SD card! :-(

Any hints?

Martin
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nelthalin:
Is there a link to the old 05-01-11 version? i would like to try the latest 2.3.3 build untill these USB issues are solved.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
You will need 28/4 for that as it is a Maybug. 01/05 introduced android 2.3.4 and CM7.1RC1 and the missing USB notification routine.

Really, it's no big deal to do without it for a while. There are benefits in the later builds which may outweigh it for you.

If you keep up with the regular updates, you will have access to the SD card from Winmo or card reader at least every other day :)

If you want 28/4 send me a PM
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
I haven't tried updating yet just been poking around in device manager etc. When connected it shows up as an Android Phone, just can't access the files on it. Tried auto update of drivers etc to no avail. Wonder if the fact that's it's using a driver for the Dream is making any difference or if they're all the same
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
Dont use callrecorder!

Motherf... :mad:

Same just happened to me...

Luckily I have my data.img backed up, so I will just put that back and start a fresh with the new build but I would strongly advise NOT TO USE CALLRECORDER!

Fyi, I had it on mp3 mode...

Its a stupid prog anyway, why would I want to record all my calls? There should be one with phone app integration, pause and play recording during call or else its just a waste of storage space.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
I have been playing around with Multi-Mount SD Card app, which allows simultanious mounting of the SD on the Phone and Computer. I have yet to upgrade to the 2.3.4 builds, but has anyone tried such a solution, for the USB issue, or am I going to have to eat my $1 for this app??
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Call Recording Works fine for me. I have no issues. Maybe its because I have a fresh install?

[HD2 Android SD Development] Straynart:

Random connexion. ^^'
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Maybe the usb issue is caused by fresh data.img's or maybe its a contributing factor.

Sent from my Gingerbreaded HD2...
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I was thinking it was the other way round - I'm on old data.img :)

A fresh install of Windows might well fix it, though...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
And I'm on a new data.img.....
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Ok so I just just got some instability that seemed to stem from the phone process which is probably tied to the ICR app. I had to restart and everything is fine now. I don't agree with your general idea geenyous but I do wish for a better integration into the phone. Basically the way it works on Winmob which is perfect IMHO. One thing that I do respect of the always on aspect is that I do forget to hit the record thingy when I need to but with it always on, i wouldnt have to worry about that.

I think this is a godo test bed for me to try other apps out there that didnt work before because it wasn't available in the kernel. Now that Warren-chan coded it in, I will try the other apps again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] der_mattin:
OK,

leaving office in a few minutes.

Will test zephyr and MW600, GPS again on my way home with brand new ACA 051011!

Keep my fingers crossed! ;)

[HD2 Android SD Development] newbietruly:
For people who have USB to PC problem, have you guys tried "Multi Mount SD-Card" from the Market? The Lite version is free.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Oh yes. BT works too. Takes time to connect though. Second time connection took more than 5 minutes. And there is full and fast data exchange with car OBD2 adapter. I love I love.

GPS too takes time to lock....

PIN Lock keypad partially blocked

I have just installed the latest build on my T-mobile HD2. The icons look much smaller than in the previous build but my main problem is that the pin lock keypad is only showing the first two columns of numbers. (3, 6, 9 are not visible).

Anybody experiencing a similar problem?

Thanks

Pat

p.s. Actually, I just rebooted and now the whole keypad is showing fine. The icons are still tiny.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
Hmm, seems to work, tapping the widget off and back on again seems to establish the connection. Nice one!
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
Hmm probably should retest as I braked my tetrun after waiting for three or four minutes
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Cope changed the lcd desity to 167 so gives a better resolution. if you want the 240 icons, then the answer is posted in the FAQ on page 1, and also the manual method of doing it (to change back to old default of 180) was posted by me a couple of pages back :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Hmmmm Deja Vue, all over again... didn't I just post a question a few posts back asking about this app... So I guess it does work on the new versions of the ROM, If I wanted to control the mounting soley with this widget, is there a way to disable the automounting of Mass Storage device within the ROM itself, that way I can just mount and unmount with this widget, regaining full control?

A small question about Google apps.

Does someone try gtalk ? It doesn't work for me on this very last ROM version.

Same thing for gmail, youtube.

For the market, strange behavior, I can connect, but I can't DL softs. =\

Gtalk working ok here on last build 0509(10)11

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 Android SD Development] pascalsg:
ok, read the few posts on this subject.

On Win 7 32 bit, after a reboot of the phone the first connection is working (no message on the phone, seen in file explorer of PC, browsing SD card possible). Eject the SD card from Win 7. disconnect the USB cable from PC and phone, and then reconnect. A removable drive is seen by the PC, but can't access, like the phone lock the connection.power off the phone, restart phone , retry connection, it works.

So the problem, for me, either on MAC or WIN 7 is the same, the phone is left in "unstable state" and can't "communicate" with PC after the 1 st connection.(the USB port of the PC is working fine even you just unplug the USB cable and plug a thumb drive for example).

For the one having a multiple connection working, can you highlight what you have done.

For info i'm "pure" SD using Haret.
[HD2 Android SD Development] newbietruly:

You could try to clear the cache for Market. Go to settings, applications, all applications, find market and clear cache. I think I saw this fix a while back.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I don't understand the need to reinvent the wheel. It was working perfectly well in 2.3.3 CM7.0x

Hopefully whatever's been broken can be fixed.

I though H and I were just for tablets.

We have to wait for Jalapenos

Ooooh... what have you done to upset Google :)

All working here. It may be down to your account settings.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
"One OS that runs everywhere." There you have it, folks! Google intends to meld its Honeycomb tablet wares and Gingerbread smartphone software into one delicious Ice Cream Sandwich. Maybe that's why the "sandwich" bit is in the name? Either way, it'll be a universal OS that runs on everything from teeny tiny Android phones to 10-inch tablets and will intelligently adapt to each form factor with things like a resizable status bar. Some other fancy new additions are being demonstrated right now, including face-tracking and camera focus shifting based on voice recognition.

Considering how fragmented Android had been getting, it makes sense to try and bring everything back together....Wonder if we'll get it running on our good ol' HD2's?
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
Wellll folks,

our kernel is about to pull ahead a little bit of a distance.

i've just updated a number of usb related things in the kernel. hopefully will resolve other issues, but will also introduce USB data tether....I believe. ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
That's great news.

Are you aware that your kernel is moving faster than your sig ;)

What's more it could convert a few more of the diehard Sense fans

I see the sig has caught up :)

And cannot find a manual focus option in the camera application either.

what am I missing?

[HD2 Android SD Development] rgshah3:
how long does the first boot take????????
[HD2 Android SD Development] rgshah3:
it came american android and it went off... when i pressed d power button windows booted up...

any help?????????
[HD2 Android SD Development] newbietruly:
Everything you'd need to know about AmeriCanAndroid can be found on the very first page.

I'm just quoting from the FIRST page here:

"Installation & Updating Proceedure is the same!:

Download the build to your pc.

1. americanandroid.7z -> unzip!

2. copy folder unzipped\AmeriCanAndroid\Android -> to -> \sdcard\Android

(COPY THE WHOLE FOLDER.. NOT JUST INDIVIDUAL FILES!!!!!!)

3. in winmo, run clrcad.exe and haret.exe in the \storage card\Android\ folder. OR

(alternatively install exceller bootloader for winmo for one click or AUTO launch of Android OS)

first boot always takes a long time be patient, it will work, and future boots do not take as long."

First boot only takes a long time because it has to create a new data.img for you. Future update will be much shorter but I'll let you venture into reading the FAQ to find out how/why.

If you want automaticall boot into Android, install Exceller Loader onto WinMo and you'll be done.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rgshah3:
i didnt understand how to use exceller
[HD2 Android SD Development] rgshah3:
so everytime after installing u have to run haret.exe????????

plz help
[HD2 Android SD Development] rgshah3:
after d american android comes and d screen goes blank does d phone restart automatically????
[HD2 Android SD Development] newbietruly:
- Okay, download Excel Loader. Here's the direct link. (Credit goes to exceller)

- Put the downloaded file on your SD card

- Install in on your DEVICE

- Open it up and set your boot time (I use 3 seconds)

- Restart and good luck

Btw, I hope you have the correct HSPL and Radio installed before you're trying out all of this Android stuff. Look under my signature for links. Start reading, my friend. There's also a "Search This Thread" button on top. Very helpful.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Yes it does. But only after the first boot up.

And yes, you have to use clrcad and haret everytime. Either manually or using a bootloader like exceller. The bootloader does it for you then.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rgshah3:
how do u increase d font size and icon size??????
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
By reading the first post and if that is not enough, the FAQ linked on first page.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rgshah3:

plz help
[HD2 Android SD Development] rgshah3:

[HD2 Android SD Development] Straynart:
Ok guyz !

I think it was a SD card issue. My phone was horribly slow and when I tried to wake it up, the screen remained black but awake, because I was able to switch music [winamp lockscreen]. So after a reboot, everything goes back to normal.

I was a little bit scared, but now it's ok. =]

[HD2 Android SD Development] materoprodutions:
Hey guys, this is an awsome build by the way. I updated yesterday and updating averyday is tough.... anyway. What is the correct procedure to update. In my mind those are the steps but I don't know if they are correct or not:

With the sd card in the card reader on windows.

-backup my data.img

-delete the android folders on the sd card (android, android secure etc..i dont't remember the name)

-copy the whole new android folder

-copy my data.img

-boot

Or I need to create a new data.img and then replace it after the first boot?

Thank you

I'm looking for the best, fastest, issueless way to update keeping my old data.img. even though every once in a while I create a new data.img and use TB to restore, but I can't do it every 2 days...
