Thanks alot you guys :) well, this isn't the first americanandroid build that i had this issue with, and this one was a clean install with a fresh data.img, BUT i didn't format the sd, so i'll try that one just to be sure, other than that the sd card's speed sounds like the most likely to be causing this altough i'm having trouble believing that because other builds i used (and i'v used about 5 differant kinds) were just fine regarding the camcorder.. so.. i guess i'll try the sd formating and report back :)

thanks again you guys!

Testet pdf and doc. Both didn't work.

I recommend using "office to go" for MS Office files. There is a freeware version available that works just fine. Once you've opened a file you can save it to wherever you want.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Ok cool thanks man. So its still an issue and not something I can fix on my end. Im really surprised that this use case has never came up with anyone else. Thanks for the work around. Quick office is now another app to be removed upon updating.

Maybe people just don't use the gmail app as much.

Can't you use the normal email app for your google account? Or are there any benefits in using the gmail app?

I don't know if there is a way to fix this from our side. But just because the two of us don't know how doesn't mean there isn't a way.

If you have the payed version of the quick office app you might get lucky, when you remove the pre installed version. Maybe the payed version kicks in then.

I tried moving the installed version but since it is pre installed you can't do anything with it. Maybe you could remove it and reinstall it if you back it up before removal, i haven't tried that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
True, i just figured since you need a google account just to use the basic features like market, the probability of them also using the gmail app would be pretty high.

The gmail app has a layout thats customized for gmail. The normal email app, I use for all my external pop email accounts.

So I pretty much FUBARed my market trying to reestablish my market links by wiping the data using Titanium. It's frozen in Titanium, and when I defrost it and open it, it always says there was an error and try again later, and closes. Reboot gets the same results. Restored the 2.3.4 version and get the same results. Does anyone have the apk so I can try to uninstall it and then install it fresh?

Gmail app and OfficeSuite

Hey JustX,

I use the gmail app that came with the ROM on a regular basis. I use OfficeSuite and am able to preview .doc files just fine. Let me know what else I can do to test for you.

Somehow deleted the apk. Oops. Time for a fresh install.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Rollo82:
P.P.S: anyone can suggest me a good app working as a service for auto-upload images and videos taken from camera? i know that there are some apps like dropbox, sugarsyncetc... but they need to be launched.

i'd like something like in wp7 with autoupload to skydrive...
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
I'm not to fond of titanium myself. I use "Backup Root".

Just don't erase your old data. Rename your Android folder to something else, like "Android old", reinstall with a fresh image and check if restore is working. If it does not, use your old Android and try again with another backup tool.

No data is lost until you erase it.

About the pictures.

You can upload to picasa or send via email out of your camera app. I haven't heard of any other app that does more than that. If you want a batch upload, upload your whole folder at the end of the day, manually.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cmillens:

Well after installing the circle battery apk, today my battery useage is horrible.

Not sure it that was from the build or the apk. will research.

Compliments on the build and thanks.

I got mine dual bootin win & android from an 8gig sd. The android partion is over 5 gig and its got the other two windows partitions on it. When i try to take a pic in the cam app it says insert sim and when i check the memory its like 1.5gig. Its as if android loads into the windows ext but im not sure any1 else strolled on to this
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
revamping the apps2sdext idea.

there is too much slow down.

have already perfected dalvik-cache backup to sd-ext,

am going to implement that to apps2sdext.

so basic idea is.

you update or install a whole bunch of apps.

the next time you reboot, all the app install files and app files are backed up to the sd-ext partition.

if you update that app. the next time you reboot it will update the backup that is stored on the sd-ext partition.

if you have a catastrophe and need to create a new data.img, or reformat the fat32 partition on your sdcard, all the information (apps, and app files, dalvik-cache etc) get restored to your device.

1. first boot, or boots after you do A LOT of app updates / installs will take longer.

2. running apps2sdext this way, (other then point 1) wont slow the normal operation of the device like it is now.. its just too slow running apps from the sdcard. either way... that should be done right quick.

:)

how you guys liking the update to new build without losing your apps? :)

First of all amazing build and keep up the good work guys now I have an issue I would like to know if it's just me or is there anyone else experiencing this as well. I am having a problem with the MMS. I am using the tmous Feb 19th build and I can't recieve or send any MMS messages. I am on tmobile and the same apn i've used on previous builds of copes build which worked isn't working now. Is this just me? Thanks guys

Just a quick question people I'm running wp7 and android off the SD just wondering if factory reset is ok to do or will it muck up
[HD2 Android SD Development] mrchim69:
I have a question. I have done as you did, with FAT32 clustersize default and the phone seems to be slower (or I thought so) than when I format with cluster size 32KB. so I want to know if this affect the speed or not?
[HD2 Android SD Development] cmillens:
No, No, no, no, no ... :p

There should have already BEEN an Android folder on your SDCard.

Create a folder in there named: root

The go into root and create another: system

Then go into system and create another: framework

Then Open the downloaded framework-res.7z and extract the file that's inside (framework-res.apk) into the the framework folder

So, the final result is: /sdcard/Android/root/system/framework/framework-res.apk

Then, when you boot, the build should copy that file in there were it belongs on the build ...

Is that clearer?

You are correct, an apk is just a fancy archive or zip file. But you shouldn't be unpacking that. Leave it as an apk.

I only 7-Zipped up the apk to make the download a tad smaller (it's about a meg or so) and faster for you to get.

I would create a cshell or bash or whatever script but it's been nearly 30 years since I've worked with any form of UNIX.

Weird ringtones anyone?

Hi all,

Do any of you either have your ringtones reset or "double-up" after a reboot? By "double-up" I mean the default tone is added to and on top of the one you changed it to before the reboot.

I have this issue with the 2/16 ROM and would like to know if it still exists in the new 2/19 one.

Also, I am ultra excited to get MMS working in these AmeriCanAndroid!!!! However, as with all of previous ROMS I've used (from other coders as well) my MMS pics come in Very low res and blurry. The ones I send to others don't suffer from this issue.

Anyone know of a fix yet?

Thanks all!!!

[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
A fresh install is never a bad idea but you could also just backup your od data image, let the build create a new one and copy the vending.app to your sd card.

After that, you erase the new data image and restore your old one. Restore the vending.app and you are good to go.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
You've copied the root folder from the 240buildprop folder to your sd card to get the 240 screen density?

Use a file explorer and open that root folder, go deeper till you get the build.prop file. Open it and search for the line with the density setting and change it from 240 to 180. Save the changes and reboot your phone.

There is also an app in the market that will do such changes for you more conveniently, but I don't remember the name. It's probably menitoned in the FAQ and you'll find it many times in this thread.

But if you only want to change the density once, you could just follow my instructions. No need to installl an app if you only use it once.

Market APK

I don't know the rule for uploading apk files in the forum but here is the vending apk. You can update it after installation.

There is something wrong with the market updates or the updater. Tried on 2 different builds. Since it comes automatically w/o any way of stopping it,

go to settings>applications>manage>market>uninstall updates>clear cache and data

way to check if you're getting "the bug" is through>>>

market>Apps/Games>All applications>Just In>then attempt to scroll down, you'll get FC...
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Ahh thanks for the info. So I assume you are going to remove it from your builds from now on?

Thanks. I will try that and "office to go" that was suggested by shamez.

You guys rock! Now to "lazyman update" to the new build. Question, is it worth the hassle to NOT re-use my data.img file since its a new kernel?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Nihonno:
Has anyone had issues with connecting/pairing with their bluetooth headsets? I have two bluetooth headsets, Blueant Q2 and a Plantronics. I didn't have trouble with bluetooth pairing in the previous builds but it appears as if I'm having a lot more trouble now. I've tried rebooting quite a few times. disabled and re-enabled bluetooth and made several attempts pairing. I got the Plantronics to pair. Turned it off but could never get it connect again. The Blueant was able to pair once but could not get any audio.

I'd almost guess that there's something with the Kernel in the build that's giving the device difficulty in pairing. If anybody reads this, would be appreciated if you test this as well.

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] daniel_kiefer:
shamez: wish I had thought of that.

Oh well. I guess I could still do that but nah, already restored everything with Titanium. Time to try and restore the market links again.

EDIT: Problem solved. By itself. They just randomly "poofed" when I was looking at My Apps.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sly5789:
Maybe its just me but I've done three updates so far since using AA and every time its smooth. No problems what so ever with img data or apps. Everything works perfectly and so far the battery on the new 0418 build is very very good. So far with light to moderate use I've gotten 9 1/2 hrs on it and still left with 75% battery life.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Phoenix65420:
Bluetooth pairing

I had the same issue. Using a ProPlantronics headset. when I first updated it already had the connection listed from before. It connected but, but was shakey (showed connected but the phone wouldnt transfer the call to the bluetooth). I rebooted, deleted the pairing, went into airplane mode, etc, and could not get the two re-paired. Some times when I would choose "scan for devices" it would not pick up the headset, sometimes it would but if I chose "connect and pair" it would just grey out, the little circle would spin, for 10 - 15 min.

I re-applied the 4-11 build and it was back running like a champ.

American HD2 on T-Mo.

Hope this helps

Warren - it's so good to have you back!! I hope all is ok. I love your avatar and it was great to see your picture!

And now, for something completely different...

I loaded the 4/13 update and over the last couple of days my phone restarted itself several times. I just loaded the 4/18 latest (and greatest). Hoping that will fix it. Also, several pages back, someone noted that they had a problem with the phone getting stuck in shutdown mode. I just experienced that for the first time. I waited a while and then just pulled the battery. Second shutdown seemed to go ok. I do not use the bkup2sd feature...

And, the weird camera not working problem hasn't resurfaced. Hopefully it won't anymore - need to take cute kitten pictures...

Thanks,

Kris
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
It is not included at all?

Could it be that you are carrying it from build to build by reusing your data.img?

I don't think so. old image is working perfect.
[HD2 Android SD Development] naturesbless:
I used Titanium Backup on my phone to backup all data. I decided to format the ext3 before updating to 041811 because it's been a couple of updates. I also decided to let it create a new data.img. I updated to 041811. I used Titanium Backup to restore everything.

It restored fine. But, the keyboard keeps FCing, setcpu keeps FCing and screen transitions in ADW EX Launcher are choppy (which, I assume, is because setcpu isn't giving my phone enough power or some other odd reason).

Can anyone help me fix this? I'm sorry if this problem has been brought up already.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
I had this issue with 041111, too. (I never tried before / after)

Ok I've been searching the threads but unable to find out why all of the sudden my usb connection to my computer is not working anymore. When I plug my phone into the computer I will be given a choice to connect via usb and able to see my sd card but for some reason I am not able to access anything. My computer shows the drive but since my phone doesn't give me that pull down option to select connect via usb I can't access anything on my sd card. Can someone please tell me what I need to do or change. This is driving me crazy now.

slide down the notification bar and enable the usb file sharing.

tonight i ended up being rather productive. we've got a new build in testing with additional bt changes, trying out the new wifi tether(though newer than i had really wanted), and a few other things.

tomorrow will be testing some additional changes that i've made which will affect how the build compiles, should give some back-end increases in functionality, and i've attempted to change the useragent for mms's via source code so perhaps no more blurry mms pics....

if all goes well, tomorrow night late you may have a sweeeeet new build.

Does it boot from magldr 1.3?

sorry if it is answered before.

Really looking forward to this build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] otaku888:
That means it's something you are running on the phone keeping it awake. Like google latitude or some other service constantly checking at an interval. This means the phone cannot sleep properly and battery is drained more quickly.

It is not the build's fault, in fact I have much better battery life with this build.

Please check yourself before pointing the finger.

It is written down in introduction post but as this is a non common question I will answer for you ;)
