But I don't think it's worth the trouble.

Maybe you will never need that extra space in your data.img but you also don't seem to need it as free space on your SD. So why? It bothers you, but it shouldn't. Just get over it.

hey..

i did this and rebooted and the icons became big...

that is the resolution has decreased.. you have said that we can change the density to anything.. how is it possible..???
[HD2 Android SD Development] bigx86:
Gps is working, read the changelog in the first post. Dont forget to change the gps.conf from "us" to ur country.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Search the thread on instructions on how to do it manually or get one of the apps like "LCDDensitiy for Root" from Android market.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Mundae may be asking how the resolution change is happening. sounds like it worked for him and he is wondering how. Or, he is wondering how to change to a different density. if so, that is in the instructions. (use a text editor, change the number to what you want... Bigger number, bigger icons.)

[HD2 Android SD Development] mundae:
i had copied 240buildprop/root to android/HERE..

and then i rebooted..

now the builp.prop file in "android/here" has 167 as lcd density and the file in "system/build.prop" has 240 as density...

the icons are big.. therefore iam assuming that its set to 240.. so should i make the changes in system then..??

and does only the icon size increases or their is difference in resolution also..??
[HD2 Android SD Development] d3m0n1:
512MB data img

You could try this.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
The changes are made in the system. There is a file named "build.prop" inside the data.img that contains the setting.

You can change that setting directly by using a file explorer like ES File Manager (you have to give it root rights in its settings).

But you can also use the app I mentioned, it's faster and easier.

When you put the "root" folder into your Android folder and reboot your phone, your phone copies the content of the "root" folder into the data.img.

That way you replace the build.prop file inside the data.img with a new build.prop file, containing the new density setting.

That also means you don't have to change the file inside the data.img, you can also change the build.prop file inside the "root" folder. Either by using a file manager out of Android or changing the file on a PC, if that is easier for you.

Files inside your Android folder that are not inside the "root" folder don't get copied into the data.img, so no changes.

Screen density is not the same as a screen resolution but it is similar. The real resolution of your screen doesn't change, but everything gets bigger.

The difference to screen resolution is, that you don't lose any of the sharpness. Things just get bigger.

With a lower number in screen density, things get smaller, you have more space, can fit more icons on your screen. But they are also smaller, harder to read, harder to hit with your fingers.

You have to decide, what is better for you.

I like the 240 density, because I don't want to squint or have to hold my phone right in front of my eyes to see things and I want to be able to hit icons without the danger of accidently hitting the wrong icon because they are too small.

Others prefer to have as many Icons as possible on their screen.

Curiosity satisfied?

Nice build, but I have two important issues:

Terrific drops of the internet connection when I am connected via WiFi, really hard. To reconnect many times I need to make a hot reboot

I can't use functions like play/pause, skip, back/forward, etc., using my Bluetooth stereo music device, only volume keys can work.

This two things are very important for me so it's difficult that I could use this build as a daily one until both problems be fixed, but I want to congratule the authors anyway, thx very much.

hi guys

Firs sorry for my bad english!:P

Hm, i have a HD2 and i put this android rom on my phone.. and this rom stun me.. (only have problems with gps, cause i can found "gps.config" here is? :S ) its a fantastic rom..

But i have a problem with lock screen.. how you can see on picture..

help? :P ... this happen after a normal "shutdown"

thanks in advance
[HD2 Android SD Development] agtokc:
This is an issue with CyanogenMod7 and not the build as I understand it... you can report it using the link on the first page above the current build download link in this thread

Same here;

(1) Regular drops of the internet via wifi...have to use data connection for a while then wifi starts working again.

(2) Market seems to be very very slow compared to the old version of Market??

(3) A lot of FC's, especially with WhatsApp, Handcent SMS & Tango...have to re-install then on every boot.

Installed the Rom strictly following install / update instructions. 8gb formatted card with ext2 partition. Running WM6.5 in tandem

(4) Booting takes way too long (up to a minute)...with my previous rom (Froyo base) no more than 10 seconds.

As much as I love this AA GB Rom...going back to previous ROM (froyo) for these reasons. Switched to GB from Froyo...but find that Froyo base is way more faster than GB.

Thanks Devs for all the hardwork.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
1. make sure you dont have any power saving apps installed.... anything that can directly effect the wifi radio.. such as juice defender or navizon.

wifi should work fine.... if you dont believe a fresh install with nothing installed should change your mind.

2. maket........ um........... we dont code/modify/or contribute to the market. google is who to contact regarding market issues. (just an fyi the market software hasnt changed since march 7th)

3. the only thing I can say is plop that fix_perms script in your /sdcard/android/ folder and reboot...... fc's are finiky and really solely up to you to fix. I can promise you that it isnt the build causing issues with apps. (unless they are like.. graphics errors for games like angry birds etc.. then yes its the builds fault)

4. HA! not laughing tho... its just....

a new install (not counting the first boot) can boot in about 1 minute. REMEMBER THIS -> the more apps you have installed the longer it takes to boot. to get a good idea of this do the following. get adb setup and working between ur pc and device. learn how to / be able to run logcat in adb. connect your device when you are booting (AT THE BLACK & GREEN HTC screen) then connect via adb and run logcat. and WATCH... your device goes through every single apk and for the lack of a better way to describe it.. inflates / installs them. so ... the more apps the longer it takes to boot. youll understand when you see it for yourself.

Now... why the HA!.... it takes my device almost 5 minutes to boot android. so... if you are average 1 minute to boot.. then you got it good. (also not fair! and thus the laughs HA.. !)

Android / Linux was NOT made to be shutdown...

Anyways... this boot time being long is something that I deal with everyday and when we can get a quicker boot time, we most DEFINETLY will use it. :)

Its always something I am on the lookout for! I know this doesnt solve the problem in the short term.. but seeing as we are still booting from sd, it MAY.. I say MAY.. not ever get solved. But.. grand scheme... MINOR. :)

my advice.... stay with aca for a day.... if you still think that froyo is "faster" (and boot up time does not count in the this case..) but literally operates faster then gb.. then.. ;) either way.. your concerns are noted and rest assured we are always working on them :)

[HD2 Android SD Development] awliyah:
@Cope, many thanks for the reply. I will keep at it with this rom...like it too much regardless of

Problems. As far as Devs go, judging by your set up (threads, support content, structure etc)...top notch...and not a bad Rom either.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
okay guys heres the scoop.

a few of us have had a chance to test the changes we made over the weekend and monday.

we are extreamly happy with the results. I have to say this whole weekend even though it was easter (HAPPY BELATED BTW) we accomplished a tremendous amount.

literally.. pwned right the f@L< out. ahhhhh.. its nice to have such positive results to share with you.

I've just finished making some changes to the rootfs that should give us some speed increases and other little tweaks here and there specific to the hd2.

Since the base changes tested VERY well.. I am doing a quick compile to grab the CM changes from yesterday to today... and you shall have your update. Uninterupted I can do this in about 1.5 hrs.. so .. check back then ;)

word!

[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Some of the problems you describe sound to me like a faulty backup to sd-ext routine.

There were problems with that in earlier builds, shouldn't be there any more but who knows.

If you can live without the backup option, try using this build without the sd-ext partition.

It will also shorten your bootup time a little.

I know this is one of copes babys and I like the idea but It can cause problems. I decided for myself, that I'm better of without it.

Give it a try.

Reformat your SD and give it a fresh start. New data.img. Leave your SD card empty at first, only put the Android folder on. Check first, if it is working OK, before you restore your apps with Titanium backup.

And about the 10s boot time with Froyo builds.

I've used one of mdj's Froyo builds before cope started his Gingerbread build and now AmeriCanAndroid.

Bootup Time for me didn't change noticeably. It's been around one minute for Android plus another one to boot into winmo before that. Boot into Android was a little longer when I was still using sd-ext.

It never was anywhere close to the 10s you mentioned.
[HD2 Android SD Development] awliyah:
Thanks...will give your suggestions a go.

10 secs boot up...Froyo RAM based build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
ONE of the problems maybe sort of related to bk2sdext. and @ that.. the issue where EVERYThing force closes happens when you save your data from a previous build and use it on a build that is modified from the previous.. be it a missing app from /system/app or anything along those lines. its not CAUSED by the bk2sdext feature in the slightest.

all the bk2sdext feature consists of is a couple different commands that copy files to and from an sd-ext partition. it doesnt run at all other then briefly @ boot up and @ shutdown.. nothing in the middle.

infact the back2sdext feature is MOST cases has completed doing its thing before the htc (green black) is replaced by the cyanogen/ACA animation. so.. about it slowing your boot... it may.. by like 10 seconds... but weigh that against having to reinstall or restore all your apps with titanium or other program. you cannot.

shamez is total koshur for having his side of the story and I encourage that here. so no fault there. but I dont want that feature to be down played here, because it works for more users then you might think.

and to be totally fair, if you dont want to use it .. dont put an ext partition on your sd card as partition2. done. its taht simple.

so here is where you silents pipe up and say its worked for you or not ;) discussion open

contrary to shamez way - I DO use it.. and have since day one.. I wouldnt include it for a second if i didnt believe it was worth having and...

like everything .. sometimes **** goes thorough growing pains etc and things dont work as they should.. but that simply isnt the case with bk2sd anymore ;)

+1 for.

alternate lock screen

Not real excited about the alternate Lockscreen theme... It's really not as crisp as the true HC Lockscreen theme and I'm content with the standard Lockscreen in the build. I didn't grab the clock just the Lockscreen. BTW... it did not change the Rotary graphic issue
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Cope - hmmm. Prior to about 2 builds ago, my phone never restarted (by itself). The last couple, it's doing so. I thought that only happened if you were using the bkup2sdext thingie. Are ALL phones now restarting (and the fix permissions thing applied?)

Just curious...Don't have to reply until AFTER the new mod is posted. LOL.

Thanks,

O I forgot to add....

I have no major issues with this new build. I just renamed my old android folder. Copied the new one in and cut/pasted my data.img file over. Booted like a charm. I rebooted a couple of times to make sure and its been running solid. battery life is already showing improvements.

I haven't tested GPS yet... apparently i'm one of the few people that knows where he's going it seems from some of these responses here. Haha.

I can connect to hidden ssid's.

But did you try a fresh data.img?

Haha, I forgot to add my experience in because I was too busy using the phone to do stuff and check xda and all that. Then I realized it, I'm using this as my everyday phone and I havent had to mess with it in the longest time.

My only confusion is the alleged 2way recording ability, Warren built into the kernel. From his wording I got the sense that it would be an option to select during a phone call. Would I still need to get a third party app? On the winmo side it was a reg tweak IIRC.

Booting 427 right now.. :-D

During the update procedure - i got an idea for convenience, so i'd kindly like to ask:

Would it be possible to reactivate the use of startup.txt so we can set the gps region and now also lcd density easily, at one time, and in one place.

I bet it would also decrease the number of people copying build.prop to the wrong place or not finding gps.conf etc... ;-)

To all:

On the 4/27 build onward, please avoid using the Wifi Tether for Root app. If used, it not only doesn't work(unless in adhoc) but it will then break the rules for the onboard until reboot.

I rocked out with the onboard tonight. Till I screwed up and tested the Tether for Root app. lol
[HD2 Android SD Development] hensond67:
Which tether app is that? The yellow one that comes with the build? If we can't use that one, Which one do we use?
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:

[HD2 Android SD Development] hensond67:
Ok so we don't use the yellow one? But use the hotspot tether instead? Is that correct Warren? Oh and sorry but what do you mean by "break the rules for the onboard"? Thanks

***Edit*** Tried the hotspot one in settings but it doesn't work so I guess use the yellow WiFi Tether that's included in the build?

Hey man, i'm already test 3G run ok.

1. On Home creen, you add POWER CONTROL Widget, select DATA, 2G/3G. And check option : If turn off wifi, enable 3G.

2. On widget, you enabe DATA ( icon two arrows ), and 2G/3G. ( If enabled, it have 1 green line bottom )​

Ok, now you can see the 3G/H sign beside the Carrier Sign on statusbar, waith for the 3G/H sign becoming green color, you can connect to INTERNET.

Have fun ! :)

Im a newbie when it comes to putting Android on my HD2, but last week I made the jump with this build!

And I love it. I do have some questions though. I skimmed through this thread but there are so many posts I lost track :/

I downloaden and installed 2 apps from the market:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anod.calendar&feature=search_result

and

https://market.android.com/details?id=dk.nicolai.buch.andersen.glasswidgets

But they dont show up in my programs (launcher). When I check the screenshots of this build there is one screenshot where the same app is used so it should be possible.

I tried switching them between my phone and SD card, tried rebooting, but nothing happens.

They don't show up in your programs because they are widgets. Most widgets don't have an extra icon inside the launcher.
