i have moved most of my apps to sdcard.

i have changed to ''install to sd card'' in settings.

I have kept Sygik (gps navigation app) and skype. I am afraid they would not work well if moved.

Other apps give problems with widget when moved to sd card. Their widgets are not listed in widget menu to put to desktop.

I have 110mb used and 104mb free.

Mem info : 238/411 mb

Does it help if i remove native apps i don't use from rom without problem?

I am not sure they are not interrelated to other apps i need.

ex. i don't use gmail, can i uninstall without affecting other mail apps?

app\Gmail.apk

app\VoiceSearch.apk

app\Facebook.apk

app\googlevoice.apk

app\CMWallpapers.apk

app\LiveWallpapers.apk

app\Androidian.apk

app\Cyanbread.apk

app\Maps.apk

etc...

thanks

There is no point in deleting any system apps as it won't save you any space. When you originally installed you set up a system partition of 195MB and a cache partition of 5MB. What is left over is available for your apps and data. System apps are contained within the 195MB partition. This pic may help clarify.

ok! i understand!

My TB info is:

System Rom: 199Mb (16.4Mb free)

Internal: 224Mb (101Mb free)

how come i get 5mb more free mem in sys rom?

lcd density change

as i said in my initial report, lcd change as i set (to 202) worked. i just checked my build.prop and it is indicating 202 (this is using old data.img).

:D

i will be downloading the replacement rootfs.img shortly... and report back.

cheers!

no sound after using bluetooth

Everything working using 8/1 sd build except for 1 issue that I also had on 7/29 sd build. After using and closing bluetooth I have no sound whatsoever. Have brand new Android folder and data image. I have searched and noticed others mentioned this on 7/29 bulid but I did not notice a solution or workaround except for rebooting,
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
Unless u have a GPS problem it most likely wont get solved. I've asked about several thing with no answer. If I was to ask about a God problem would have an answer within mins. I also have the sound problem after using Bluetooth. I made 2 posts about it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] madhatter:
LOL.... I can not believe it is just the 2 of us with this issue. I guess Iwe will have to speak to God using bluetooth.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Thats very mean! I am sure you have noticed that of late Cope/Warren are working on 3 builds at the same time - SD, Magdlr and CLK. The last 2 are yet even to be released publicly as they try to get them ready for the general public consumption. And dont forget there are time differences. As of this moment Cope is asleep while we are complaining about something small not getting his attention. I really do not agree with your observation at all. Just check back a few pages and see how long Cope spent sorting our issues earlier on. I suspect the guy went to bed at 4.00 am his local time!!!! :rolleyes:

Man, whenever a member here has an answer we all try to assist each other. Now contrasting us with God is simply irresponsible. By the way God knows everything and since you say that if you were to ask Him you would get an answer within minutes, have you tried asking Him your particular question :mad:

Sygic not detecting gps correctly

I think i have solved my gps problem.

I installed the latest clk release.

Open my gps navigation app.

No fix.

closed.

Tried again, no fix.

Opened GPSStatus looks for sats.

Launch Sygic (navig.app) and now it gets a fix (takes a couple of minutes).

Rebooted

same problem as above.

So i figured Sygic wasn't seeing my gps correctly.

Reeboted.

Opened Sygic.

Disabled hardware: gps.

Closed program

Rebooted

Launched Sygic again and it says no gps active

It then detects hardware

Now i get a fast fix.

Hehehehe funny but if BT is not working I wonder whether you can select who to use BT with..... My BT was working perfectly with the earlier build. I am yet to test with todays build but I will certainly check it out and report back. What actually is the problem with your BT bro?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Couldn't agree with you more PS, but I think the reference to God was meant to be Gps and autocorrect intervened ;)

I spent a long time on the Gps issue. It was a problem I was having, so I researched it and made some input. I don't use BT, so I know nothing of the problem and wouldn't know the first thing about finding a solution, so I don't respond.

[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
I've been missing out on HD2 Android since the phone didn't boot for some reason. It suddenly booted when I plugged it in, so I went right here and got the latest build. It works even better than it did a couple of months ago. Fantastic work on this build, it's amazing just how fast you're upgrading to the latest and greatest. Unfortunately my buttons don't work now, but Button Savior is quite awesome.

replacement rootfs.img 080111 build

-- data size now correctly handled (set my startup.txt data size to 1536 and data.img created is showing 1.5 gb).

-- as i mentioned (i.e., even without the replacement rootfs.img), lcd density was set at 202 and my build.prop is showing 202.

working very well so far... :D

All the deskop theme, all the widgets and all the icons are smaller than usuall. How can i grow them up?

If you are using the latest SD build, edit the startup.txt and replace 167 with 240. Reboot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] walidhazem:
let me make this easy for you....download lcd dencity for root from market and set it to 240(thats the usual) then select rebootmethod:ssdaemon now hit apply and it should reboot and your done...hope i helped:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Uzi I am not sure that method is working with 0801 build even with the twice edited Rootfs. Mine did not work I had to edit the build.prop to get the 240 Lcd density.....
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
i'm lost...how do i figure out what build this if? i have looked in the about phone in my settings. i see nothing that matches any of the three that was listed from that thread. :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
In reference to my last statement. It was not intended to be mean but prove a point and open eyes. If I had not said what I said neither me or madhatter would have gotten acknowledged due to the fact that the past 20 something pages are nothing but GPS and LCD related. I appreciate everything cope and Warren do on the rom. I haven't turned on winmo in months because of this rom. Now to the problem. As madhatter stated after using bluetooth for music and or calls there is no sound. I can shut off the headset and d/c from then shut off bluetooth and get no sound whatsoever from anything. I have to reboot to restore the sound. Apologies to everyone that was hurt/offended in any way shape or form. Wasn't meant for that.

Questions about the SD version 0801

For Cope or someone that knows, I have installed the 0801 version and everything seems OK, but I have a few questions:

1. Am I correct there is no more .root directory after install?

2. When you install, it is a one phase procedure, there is no power off in order to boot again?

3. If 2 is correct what is the role of the firstrun file?

4. Can we still use the Root directory in order to install system libraries as before. and if this case will the .root be created?

5. I saw the discussion between cope and someone (sorry don't remember the name) about, is the GPS library 1.9 installed. Is there a final answer to this.

6. If not as per question 4 can I use the Root directory to install the library?

Sorry for the long list and Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
1 .root directory can be safely deleted if you still have one.

2 Yes

3 ? It is an empty file ?

4 Yes (don't worry about .root, it was just a way of making sure things didn't get repeated)

5 Yes Yes

6 Yes
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
The 1.9 gps libraries have been included... says the guy that makes the build.

For the third time.

Last time I included a url that went to our git... showing the time date of the change.

Despite what that one guy says... I know......
[HD2 Android SD Development] soapbox23:
reporting the same. edited the startup.txt with lcd_density=200 and no effect after multiple reboots. added the gps_zone=us line also but don't know if that took either
[HD2 Android SD Development] mv:-):
lcd density(startup.txt) 080111 build

as i reported, setting lcd density (mine was set 202) via startup.txt is working for me, whether using original or replacement rootfs

(side note: original rootfs did not build the right data.img size, which was immediately fixed by cope, otherwise, everything seems to be working just fine).
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
i know that. but how am i suppose to find out what build americanandroid is using???? that is why i posted in this thread.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cariocap:
Lemme try to answer what I know:

1. Yes, no more .root after boot with a root folder

2. Mine didn't powered off, only one boot to install

3. Don't know. My first run is empty and dated from 070911. Maybe this file was forget from older builds.

4. Yes, I used root folder to install the GPS library 1.9, and ther is no .root folder after boot.

5. The discussion was with me and there is no final answer from Cope yet.

6. You can use root folder.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 Android SD Development] prattjo:
For the 0801 SD version, for me lcd-density=240 worked, gps_zone=south_america, worked too
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Sorry, it was your quote that threw me :confused: It didn't look like there was any reference at all to ACA

Cyanogen CM7 (Gingerbread 2.3.5) 100% HTC-LEO cm base

It is based on the nightlies and constantly changing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] prattjo:
Than a question for Cope, can the file firstrun be deleted from the SD?
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
yea, i saw all that on the "about phone" section on my phone. but none of the build numbers from that other thread matches anything when looking at the rom/phone info.

0517, 0518, and something else was what it had in that other thread, and that thread is a link that the op posted for us to use. thats why i am :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
What other thread? You don't say. That's why I'm :confused:

The numbers you quote will relate to the build dates and will be quoted in the download. If it's a framework-res.apk thing then you will need to match the build dates.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I think you might find your answer on the previous page...
[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
I see the value in the information you posted, I wasn't trying to discredit you. I'm simply pointing out this thread is for development of builds using only ACA. It doesn't help much when you are using a different kernel because while me may have had the same issue there are too many variables when you use a different kernel to say that our problem came from the same source. My main point was that it should be in a different thread because it just clutters this one which already has tons of posts. But either way this post is just as much clutter, if not worse because it really isn't helping anyone. So, I'll shut up on that subject now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] SuperXM1ke:
There's an expression: "The squeaky wheel gets the grease."

This means the loudest group's problems get the fixes. What makes a group the loudest? Their problem is most prevalent. If 2 people have bluetooth issues and 20 have GPS issues, which one is gonna be most noticed? My bluetooth works fine, and now my GPS does also. So far Cope and War have done nothing but give us the best of the best. You can throw mud at the forum, and say no one wants to help you, but when it comes down to it you wouldn't be here without War and Cope making something great that you want to be a part of. Maybe no one has a fix for your issue because no one (or only 1 other person) shares your issue. When things go wrong the first thing to try is a new fresh install. If it works you have to isolate variables, change only one thing at a time to find what is creating the problem. I wish we could all be as helpful or knowledgeable as War/Cope, and Uzi and Shost. But what I can tell you is that when the problem falls through the cracks in the forum it's probably because it is not prevalent.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cariocap:
yes, I saw that after my answer, but I can't understand why the GPS fix only worked after applying GPS lib v1.9.

When I checked the files they were different. That's why I applied GPS lib v1.9.
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
This shouldn't be a problem to fix. You never mentioned which SD build you're using... If you used the official build dated 7/29 on the first page of this thread... after you've unzipped the d/l'ed file... inside the Android folder, is a 240buildprop folder. Inside of that is a root folder. That folder contains a build.prop file which specifies a 240 lcd pixel density.

You would need to copy that root folder (one level up) and paste it inside of the Android folder. Then... you're good to go. In this scenerio - using the official 7/29 build (from the first page)... there would be no need to edit your startup.txt file.

OTOH... if you used - as your first time ACA SD build - the unofficial beta build, dated 08/01, from post #14187, then... I'm sorry, I don't know how else to help or advise you. There are far more experienced users than i on this forum and I'm certain someone else will step in to help.

I'm guessing you used the 1st page (official) build, and never moved the root folder containing the build.prop file... and instead, unnecessarily edited the startup.txt (file) to include the 240 pixel density. This only would've applied to the 8/1 build from post #14187. -Hope I've helped.

Rob
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
It is because in order to install the libs (that were already there) you had to reboot, when just rebooting would have done it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] SuperXM1ke:
If you are using the updated builds the easiest way is to:

1) download "es file explorer" from market

2)open "es file explorer" and in settings check "root explorer" and "mount file system" then hit back

3) on the top left is a button that looks like an SD card, hit that and it should change to a home, for home. navigate to system/build.prop

4) click build.prop and select to edit it with es editor

5) scroll down and find ro.sf.lcd_density=xxx and make xxx=240 (it is probably at 167 when you find it)

6) save file and reboot phone
[HD2 Android SD Development] cariocap:
Uzi2,

Nope, reboot was one of the fixing procedures I tried before applying the libs.

Have you applied the 1.9 libs ? If not please tell us the date and size of:

/system/lib/libgps.so

/system/lib/hw/gps.htcleo.so

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
If you had tried it again it would have worked.

Have a look at my previous posts.

Give it a rest, man. How many times do you need telling?

The 1.9 GPS libs are included in the build
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
:confused:

I am so confused right know, although I am no native english speaker, but can it be that bad?

Maybe an approach with fewer words helps:

Same build - different kernel - identification of problem source possible. Same problem here - build issue. No such problem here - kernel issue.

Assuming a clean install of the problem-haver of course. I don't see how that can't be beneficiary, I really don't.

For example, I have not tested the BT issue yet, but if I happen to have the same issue, a build problem is likely and our devs can look at the right place or am I wrong?

I also can't see your variables point, but I must admit that I don't know how many different components in how many different HD2s got released, but assuming there is EU HD2 & T-MOUSE HD2, I don't think your variables point is valid or else none of us could help the other. Thats why I make the assumption: things are not too different and a clean install before bugreport is prefered to try to exclude sw interference.

But, I must give you the clutter point, therefore I will shut up. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Geenyous, your English is better than a lot of those who have it as their first and only language. I understand your position. I don't use BT, so I'm not affected. For some one kernel is better than another, for others it works the other way... it depends which BT devices you use. There is no right and no wrong. You make valuable contributions without trying to force any point.

[HD2 Android SD Development] mv:-):
or if you're using build 080111 or later,

simply

edit the line "set cmdline "rel_path=Android nand_boot=0 lcd_density=167 gps_zone=us data_size=1024" in startup.txt and then restart...

note that the default lcd density is 167; change that to your preference (personally i use 202)
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Thanks, that was very helpful to me also. :) My updated build was working just fine but for some reason the ES File Explorer app I had installed wouldn't perform root functions (yes, I'd tried to set it earlier but was refused). An uninstall / redownload and re-configuration solved that issue! Just wanted to thank you, as your post got my brain in gear. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
if you had to add gps_zone=us to the startup.txt (cause it wasnt already there)

then you are using an old rootfs.

try one of the new ones I uploaded (check my signature)

they should properly set the lcd density / gps zone / data size, etc.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
okay well (when I get home)...

im' moving the 080111 build to the first post...

prepare for a whole sh%t load of "how do I change my lcd settings" / "where is the 240buildprop folder" related posts.. le sigh.

[HD2 Android SD Development] orangekid:
lol, can't wait! :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] soapbox23:
Excuse the weirdness here...but i'm honored that you quoted my post! first time a dev did that to me :D

ok all sucking up aside...i'm confident that i did replace the rootfs.img with the one in your edit 2 post. the startup.txt didn't have the gps_zone line nor the lcd_density lines at all. the rootfs.7z only contained 2 rootfs.img's right? i use magldr so I replaced it as usual with the one ending in .sdmgldr and changed the extension and replaced.

at any rate, i changed it in the build.prop and it works fine now. guess when we get our next update it'll be implemented. thanks for all your great work cope (warren too). your build rules hard.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cariocap:
lol, that's true.

I have two suggestions to minimize this:

1) Include an readme.txt file inside the build (outside Android folder) with the "howto" instructions.

2) Change the lcd density from 167 to something like 200. IMHO 167 is too small and 240 is too big. Personally I use 200.

2. changing the build from 167 to anything (as a default setting for the build) is not an option lets de-table that issue right now. "Tell em peter....."*
[HD2 Android SD Development] mv:-):
thank you... and oui, le sigh but please, don't get frustrated or feel dejected.

btw, for those who've already updated their aca build to 080111 and the replacement rootfs, we don't have to do anything, do we? :)

looking forward to the "whole sh%t load of 'how do I change my lcd settings' / 'where is the 240buildprop folder' related posts.."
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmeriCanAndroid:
ur right... those who have already updated.. and grabbed teh revised rootfs's you will gain nothing by re-updating to the same thing.

always remember.. as frustrated as I may seem, its all a show to promote emphasis. Usually you can tell me to cool down or remind me that this is just minor software and that I don't get paid for my time here.... and I snap right back to reality. Really... what someone SHOULD say to me when I get antzy... "Cope .. is that anyway for a senior member to act? You've been here for 6 years now... havn't you learned by now that this happens and there is nothign you can do about it? pffffft go make a coffee and come back after you've got your head on straight." lol that should sort me right out. lol

I also should have copied the link to that video azrienoch made for new members. Would save me a lot of time to just answer with that link instead of trying to give a comprehensible and helpful answer. Sure, the video wouldn't be much use, but a major time and frustration saver, non the less.

Thanks Cope, you are appreciated.

Nate

P.S. I remember seeing a good long while ago someone talking about maybe a new sim card might help with Data drops, I dont think that helps any. I only have data drops when moving from tower to tower. Once I am in an area for a while it is usually fine till I leave and go else where. Most of the time Data will restart on its own and other times I have to either toggle Wifi or airplane mode to start data connection back up. Not a big deal and I am not complaining. Just thought I would mention that a brand new sim card does not seem to change the behavior any. This is one of the newer sim card versions, not the old ones.

Anyways, thanks for everything guys and gals.

Hopefully, I will be brave enough to venture into Nand one of these days. But for now, I am sticking with the SD builds :)
