Slightly confused (have read FAQs):

Ages ago I was told to just copy new build onto SD & reboot. I have had mixed success with this. But reading lastest discussion I think I toolkit the advice too symplistically. My SD is formatted and partitioned as per best advice in FAQ.

Sooooo...

When updating do I a) just copy over folder or b) save data.img, delete android folder & android_secure folder then copy new folder & old data.img?

click:

1. clrcad FIRST

2. haret SECOND

It will self install, be patient. It could take up to 10min. Each boot after, it will be more stable and faster.

On another note.... Just got me a 16g class 10 Wintech Filemate Pro. Will let you all know how it works later. $35 at Tiger Direct... I live by the warehouse, and couldn't pass up trying it.

I've just finished loading this building on my HD2. Currently dual booting it with WP7 using magldr 1.12 and it's working beautifully.

There is one small annoyance though: the lockscreen doesn't extend to cover the entire screen but it shrinks to like 1/2 of the screen to the center part. See my attached screenshot for a better idea (sorry for the bad quality, took it with an iPhone). Is there a fix for it?

Physical Buttons Issue

Searched through this thread for an answer on this so forgive me if i missed it.

The last build I had working consistently was the 0301 build. After updating to the 0311, 0326, 0329 builds I've had an issue where after the initial reboot upon android setup, the talk and home buttons were not working. Also the lockscreen disappeared. This is the reason i always went back to the 0301 build. Figured it was just a personal issue since I could not find anything in the thread. I tried messing around with the lockscreen settings to see if i could at least bring that up as a start but to no avail.

Has anybody run into something similar just in case i missed this somewhere?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ottix:
Hi all.

This is a general question.

I can't boot these new releases.

I was able to do it since the March the 2nd version.

After that rom I found that boot process lasts tens of minutes and never completes!

What can it be?

Thank you in advance

less fun: ;-)

- formated sd-card, left sd-ext, had create new data.img: fc's titanium,.. till manual fix_permissions & 2nd reboot - that changed a lot uids & solved all fcs !

- wifitethering tried w barnacle - no chance, same issues during the last roms as described by former guy (traced a lot logs - no idea what's causing the not connecting) - only workaround winmobile/older img

- folder android/data is removed with each reboot

some questions:

? vi/vim unusable with terminal on pc (qtadb - strange letters) - anyone?

? all binaries in /bin are symlinked to busybox, but bashrc does that mapping also ?

? barnacle shouts in the logs, that it's not allowed to do anything in it's directory /data/data/net.... (maybe permissions are f**ed completely?)

AmeriCanAndroid X-Plane Issue

I installed this about a week ago and it's working fine except I cannot run X-Plane on it - it simply crashes on startup. I know it's a big programme but it's not a problem on any other build I've tried. Has anyone else experienced this or have any idea how to fix it?

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] vnt87:
Thanks, I did uncheck that and rebooted the device. Now it's like this, while the slider seems to extend to cover the screen, the graphic used behind the slider still doesn't scale. Same with other apps like WallpaperHD that got this bug, the graphic doesn't scale but instead they flow to the left.

You made my day(s) !

after weeks, my copey does w-tetherin' again =:-))

what I did:

. cp brand new "wifi_tether_v3_0-pre12.apk" to /system/app

. cp back to /sdcard/Android and executed "fix_permissions.sh" (huge bunch of fixes - also new wifi-tethering, which fc'd after install..)

. set tether model to "NexusOne"

... tried pc - connect - internet - ... tears from my eyes ;-)

tnx very much ! 2b2b
[HD2 Android SD Development] 2b2b:
regarding ownerships, uids, fix_permissions some questions:

. why is my /etc/gps.conf reset to us.... after each reboot ?

. why are needed following fixes (100s more) after a rom-upgrade and even after some reboots and executions of the script - with new generated data.img (but copied sd-ext!) for working apps ? whats the background of those ? will try a complete wiped sd-card - but would understand things for the future..

..things like:

Changing user ownership for: /data/data/at.mysandbox.android.wifi.tether from '10071' to '10099'

Changing group ownership for: /data/data/at.mysandbox.android.wifi.tether from '10071' to '10099'

Changing user ownership for: /data/data/ccc71.bmw/shared_prefs from '10089' to '10088'

Changing group ownership for: /data/data/ccc71.bmw/shared_prefs from '10089' to '10088'

Changing permissions for: /data/data/ccc71.bmw/cache/admob_cache from 'rwx------' to 'rwxrwx--x' (771)

Changing permissions for: /data/data/ccc71.bmw/cache/admob_cache/20101109 from 'rwx------' to 'rwxrwx--x' (771)

unix-rights are clear to me - but this chaos seems dangerous to me - maybe I did something wrong ?

thanx docent for the tip with the ssh-thing - now that I have internet without rebooting to winmo, things are quite easier ;-) - will try dropbear as it's integrated and as linux-guy, I'm not used to pay for trying every single thing like a ssh-server ;-)

Boot that lasts forever

I've formatted that SD lots of time, but nothing....:confused:

Months ago, I used to copy the Android folder without formatting, and I had never had problems booting any version...

Is it possible to enable boot logging instead of the graphical mode boot, in order to see if the problem is on the SD (no more room) or something else?

Thank you.

hi , i read that some sd card work in different speeds with some different cache size files , how can i change the cache size in my build ? , i see that you put the 2048 cache size , but i want to try the other sizes because i checked with the sd tools and my speed was w - 3.9 and r - 20.4 (Lexar 32gb class 10) , maybe with other cache size it will be faster .

Thanks warren and cope for the amazing work
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
So, Cope & Warren -

Can you clarify please.

I've seen two different recommendations in the thread for installation on nonpartitioned SD cards.

One - move the data file out of the Android folder. Delete the Android folder. Copy the new Android folder. Move the data file back into the folder. Use exceller or simply execute clrcad and then haret to boot.

Two - simply copy the new Android folder over the existing Android folder ("merge" in Windows), overwriting when requested. Boot using exceller or execute clrcad and then haret.

If stray stuff can remain by using the second method, then I'd consider clarifying the instructions on the first page. I'm not sure it's totally clear that you should delete the old Android folder and start fresh (with your existing data file).

Thanks so much!

[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
FAQ!

1. Dont use Windows Explorer to do this. Never....Ever...

2. Use Total Commander with PROPER 'display hidden/system files' option

3. Remove ALL files from sdcard:\Android\ except data.img. No need to delete directory Android.

4. COpy Android directory from build to SDCARD. Data,img will NOT be overwritten - cos it doesn't exists ina build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] RussKingUK:
Why?
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:

Haptic Feedback

Using 3/29 build ... still can't seem to turn-off haptic feedback when making/receiving calls unless using Silent mode. On connect, phone vibrates and when I move the phone away from my ear or back again.

Keeping data connected seems to be getting better!

simply copy the new android folder over the old one and overwrite the files that are already there.....

so what if 'remnants' remain.... (remnants like what? the data.img /cache folder etc?.. this isnt a problem as you are wanting to keep your data anyway right?)

someone said first delete the folder cause simply overwriting 'doesnt work' - this is wrong.. and I have updated litterally hundreds of times -> each time, successful, which is contrary to the 'doesnt work' statement.

again hopefully for the last time,

copy the new android folder over top the old one. dont worry about deleting things first.. just overwrite existing.

IF and only IF things get messed up, then worry about deleting things. But 9.9 times out of 10, you will be just fine doing it this way.

also... 9.9 times out of 10 the info in the first post trumps anything posted in the thread. ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
/etc/gps.conf is getting reset because it is sourced from /system/etc/gps.conf,

so if you want changes to stick you have to edit /system/etc/gps.conf :smile:

UID SID PERMS fixes are NOT REQUIRED all the time, infact most times not, but sometimes during an update to a new build, things will all FC on a user. So a smart plan was devised to deploy fix_permissions.sh 1 TIME only during a build update. There is a reason for it, and it is the most sound and logical route available to users who do not want to reinstall everything. If you can come up with a better solution please present it for us. (users that get fc'ing on all apps during a build update, are either usually impatient and dont let the first boot run the entire fix permissions script and then complain that they get fc's - or are users who have renamed their android folder to something else.. which is not something i would suggest doing) Some users run fix_permissions all the time, every day.. which is more dangerious then having the build AUTOMATICALLY running it just once at update time.

I'm curious too. I read some post on some other xda forum that *supposedly* one of us android users called their carrier and the carrier said to 'refresh his phones profile' on his account through his 'carriers website' and problems went away. Once his carriers network saw that 'the hd2 they sold him' was ok to be recognized as this 'android device' all was well, *supposedly.* Is this information close to whats happening, or am I spreading misinformation?

im no expert in this but i think it may have something to do with how our perspective carriers' servers/towers etc are readingthe devices being originally HD2 Win Mo phones. i mentioned that before earlier in cope's original thread so it may not be the case since no one commented about it. I do think once that "something" is figured out then the issue will be 100% resolved. personally i only experience drops when i normally would drop when in win mo. sometimes it auto reconnects and sometimes it dont. easy for me to get reconnected though ;) so THANKS A LOTS to all who helped get this build to this point. :D please keep up the great work :)

May I first start off by saying what a brilliant build this is and props go out to the developers, a brilliant job indeed. So I have been using this build daily for quite a while now and don't need my phone for any more than Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and apps, that's all.

Now, taking no credit away from the developers (I feel bad asking this question as the build is brilliant) but I have one SLIGHT problem. I have read through the FAQ's and applied the fixes suggested but I'm still having the same error. Now the Wi-Fi on my phone doesn't seem to like me. Ever since I updated to the March 29 build, I've been having Wi-Fi problems. It sits on 1 bar and constantly disconnects/re-connects. I thought it might have been a router wi-fi problem so I installed a new one with bigger range but still have the same problem. On my laptop it shows full bars (strong connection) and even on my xbox my connection is fine, it is just my phone which is having problems. Could anyone car to point me in the right direction. ANY help would be much appreciated. I would use the data connection but when using YouTube, Facebook etc. I use up 500mb in no time and these days unlimited means 500mb, I think they changed the dictionary meaning of unlimited...

Thanks

[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
Games and data...

The current build moves the data from Android/data to some other location after every reboot.

I believe it has been established that this behaviour causes tons of problems and I really hope it will be gone in the next release.

For the time being you have to move the app from phone to sd and back, then let the game download the data and then make a backup of the respective data folder in Android/data (you can just create a folder on the SD called "Game data" or whatever) and after every reboot you first have to copy the data folder back to Android/data before you use the game.

Also you have to back up after every time you played or you lose the progress since last backup.

If you use partitioned SD, a back up is made to sd-ext/data (at every shutdown??), just copy it to Android/data from there.
