and as long as we're (now) being serious... it's a shame how little our teachers and educators are paid, compared to the fortunes of money made by entertainers and sports personalities... and it's particularly insulting just how much the health care (paper pusher) ceo's & coo's pay themselves, while the cost of health care here, approaches the same amount a typical family pays for their monthly home mortgage. the politicians (living on fantasy island) voted themselves, and their families free healthcare (for life) at taxpayer expense, no matter the length of their term served in office. America isn't the country it once was - while many still proclaim we're the greatest, (maybe still in some ways)... but no longer 'land of the free', but still the home of the brave. (imho) and just my $.02

Question about SDMAGLDR...

I don't get it. I don't understand how it works or how it's supposed to work.

I've always used the Exceller bootloader built-in to my WinMo 6.5 ROM to load the SD Android. I've no problem staying with it... but wanted to try sdmagldr. I followed the instructions on P1, but I don't see any sign of it when I boot up.

My (uneducated) guess, is that it may have something to do with my SD card not being properly setup to use it. I have a 16GB class 4 SD... formatted Fat32 but only one single partition shared between (many) WinMo files, and the Android build and the apps I've added to it.

But I just don't know, What's what. Any advice or explanations about how I might be able to use magldr would be sincerely appreciated.

Rob
[HD2 Android SD Development] daniel_kiefer:
Did you set the directory to boot Android from within magldr? It's in services, boot something-or-other (sorry, can't remember what the option name is), set ad sd. Then choose Android. Make sure you have edited and copied the files from the sdmagldr directory to the Android folder after unzipping. Hope this helps.
[HD2 Android SD Development] lantern20:
This may sound stupid and I apologize in advance, but did you actually flash Magldr? If you're still running a WM6.5 rom you can't have flashed magldr.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Magldr

I understood that you were committed to WM6.5

If this is true, you don't want to be messing with Magldr

If, however you want to use WP7 and android(SD) then you will need it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] NYLimited:
Not a thing, thanks! As I said, I had to read (a lot) more being new to the Android world. I read what you pointed me to but I also had to read more about editing the file. :)

Done, it worked! Yeah! Now I can download all kinds of things I wanted to look at.

Anyway, one last (well, maybe not last) question, regarding Netflix. I think you mentioned you had it working. I was able to download it but "Vision" is not on their approved list it seems. When I log into Netflix (yes, I have an account) on the HD2 it immediately logs me out. More reading? Or did I miss something else?

Added later - Never mind! It logged me out twice but worked the third time and thereafter. Not a clue why.... :confused:

Again, thanks for the pointers!

reboots

this is by the best customizable rom for android and every time i upload a movie onto my sd card and try to watch through my ps3 or xbox not only does it reboot both my systems and the phone but it doesn't even recognize the usb connection any help would be appreciated,

p.s and it seems to be only with roms that use the ac 725 kernel or any aca kernel at that, but i really love this rom if anyone can help it would really be appreciated
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
USB has been a problem ever since the introduction of 2.3.4 for most users.

Maybe you should try the nand version of aca.

The sd version is running on your sd card. Reading large amounts of data from your card by streaming a movie may conflict with the stability of the system.

The nand build on the other hand would be located in your internal memory, independent from your sd card.

Why don't you get yourself an USB stick? Cheap and reliable. A smartphone like the hd2 is a rather expensive cardreader.
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
I appreciate the info... No need to apologize or preface your comment in that way. We're all here to learn, share and help each other (I hope). :) Never said I was a genius - well... maybe close... but no cigar. :D

Thank you. I see you dual boot WP7, so uzi2's comment below (and lantern20's, above) really helped fill in the blanks for me. I'm committed to WinMo 6.5 - and now ACA SD builds. :) Sometimes (true) happiness is about being satisfied with what one already has. I'm good where I am now.

You seem to be a man of few words; but they always come-off informative and well said. Thank you (for the caution)!!! :cool:

what is your avg transfer speed?

tried it once and it seemed rather slow, so for large transfers it's still card reader (4M/sec) or WinMo (2M/sec), for smaller ones I use File Expert (network drive mapping working both ways) but it's only 500k/sec for me
[HD2 Android SD Development] davidthomson:
Had fantastic battery life from latest build. First time I ever had 5ma in sleep mode (WIFI GPS ETC ALL ON)

Then bam as others have said 60mA again.

After a bit of thought I realised I'd been fighting with led coming on as notifications even with them all turned off in led me know.

After some experimenting I'm back to 5ma. Solution was to turn led me know service off. I've no idea if its due to corrupt data or install of led me know but very happy to be back to 5mA.

Maybe others will have some luck too.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
you really shouldn't need led me know anymore, except for the issue with the charging light staying on if you boot up plugged in, notifications have been working for a while now. At least they have for me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
And this is because I wanted to be post 15,000 ;)

Edit: As I was rightfully scolded for nothing substantive in this past, I thought I would add something.

since google updated the music app to 3.0 that works well with google music beta, do we still need the old music app. as someone who now uses this exclusivity,I am not sure if the old app is needed. alternately, would it be safe to remove the old music app without fear of losing some functionality
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Can't tell you the avg transfer speed off the top of my head. I know the (built-in) PC card reader is always going to be faster than USB... but without pulling the SD card, I've found AC pretty easy and convenient to use xfering files between my WinXP system and the android HD2 filesystem over USB. Small file transfers are fast enough. For GB sized files, I walk away from the system for a while. :)

I use VCOrganizer Pro (over WiFi) to sync with Outlook... which I need to do. So I find my ways... whatever works; and if I can find something better or faster... I'm open to it. Thanks for the heads-up on File Expert. I'll definitely give it a look. --Rob

(edit-updated to add), yeah there's a huge difference in transfer speed with the card reader instead of usb... I mean, I knew that, still don't know the 'true' numbers and am too lazy to look them up for what I have here... but I just recopied a 2GB data.image file, and it's seems to be at least 5X faster (if not more). That I'm sure of.
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
usually I turn it off by trying to log in to my GSM operator's webpage, so they send me sms with access code,

-> the led returns to regular behaviour after receiving sms or email, so it can be done by sending one to yourself

Wow! Senior Member status... funny, I don't feel any older. :D After about three years here poking my head in & out, those 100 posts were mostly in the last few weeks.

Good to know, I fixed it by going NAND, it doesn't seem to have that issue... But this is a good tip, for those with unlimited text messaging...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Animefan:
First time trying of hardSPL, seems to work fine so far. The phone booted etc.

But I noticed, where do I set it to 240 instead of 167 as you could with SD build ? Is that impossible in NAND? Cause then im screwed and all this was a waste of time :(

Also the new GPS Region thing made me get fix faster sinse im in EU,anything about that?
[HD2 Android SD Development] xavierh:
you need to edit the build.prop file. I got root explorer (paid for it) and i was able to do that on the nand version. you can also get one of the free lcd density apps so that you find which number works best and then edit the build.prop file
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:

[HD2 Android SD Development] Animefan:
tyvm to the two of you! will look into it right now

Edit: okay tried that, had to go in the etc/gps.conf though for gps, right?

Trying a reboot after setting LCD to 240, fingers crossed that it'll work

sound issues

Hey,

Sharing your pain.

I've found that my problem, like one other post I noticed before, starts only after a voice dialed call. Otherwise, I can use BT or speaker at will. I also tried the setcpu mod to 245 min, and others, but no luck. I went back to early July, pre 2.3.5 builds and no luck. Odd, as they didn't do this before... I would think that going back to a previously working build would work. Who said "you can't go home again"? Wolfe?

Okay - new odd thing: I couldn't get new market to work with the new builds BUT....wait for it..... now it works (!) after going back through all the old builds and adjusting the setcpu as instructed.

There really has got to be a reason, something that those of us with this problem are doing that others are not.

Likewise, I'll try to duplicate the New Market fix I guess I stumbled upon.

OZ:cool:

PS - I even went and tried one of the MccBoxMax ROMs. Mistake. If you want to appreciate the work these guys have done, just go install one of those. It was so skittish I didn't even have a chance to go through my testing procedures.:):cool:
[HD2 Android SD Development] MarkAtHome:

[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Come on! Do you really consider that 'addition' substantive? ;) (but seriously); In answer to the question that you posed (and imho), it wouldn't hurt you to keep the original music app - but otoh, it shouldn't matter if you delete it. How's that for a definitive answer?
[HD2 Android SD Development] RAMBO29:
Aug 11 Build is good-Thanks guys

After some battery drainers in between,I am settling with the build n Aug 11. The stand by is 4mA and no problems have been found so far.

Thanks for the supporters.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dumbquestion:
bt issue fixed?

wow. on a whim I set my min setcpu setting from 240 back to 128. paired bt, took a call, disconnected bt... audio WASN'T gone. Reset setcpu to min 240, tried call again, disconnected... audio WASN'T gone. coincidental? possibly. others with bt killing phone speaker might try & let us know. Battery my only issue now (60-300ma drain), somewhat solved with BIG battery :) so oh-well.

new market has worked great for me with no adjustments needed, btw.

Oops- forgot. led lights on always or incorrectly. have had this problem long time. ledmeknow hasn't changed them at all. I just ignore them.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Pedro G:
i've noticed if i load Android while my phone is plugged in charging the amber light will stay stuck on. so i just unplug it when ever i load Android. then i plug it back in as soon as its done loading.
[HD2 Android SD Development] NYLimited:
Hey, I found yet

another app

I cannot download from the Market! The reason seems that the author specified that GPS is required and, I guess, neither the HD2 nor the Vision are listed as having one.

Any guesses how the Market expects to see the name of a G2? :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
This is the app you linked, and what appears on my PC screen when I go to this app on the market... I think (maybe) you just haven't edited all the fields you might have in your build.prop file - You can see where it says on my screen, "This app is compatible with your HTC Android". Have another look at your build.prop file and be sure to remove any reference to LEO or HD2. Post back. I'm curious what you might find. --Rob

Here's a screenshot from the new market on my HD2...

As I said; No market issues! You'll get it. :)

[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
You might be right. I'm pretty certain that you've probably forgotten more than I know in this (android) universe. But let's have an understanding... I'm just trying to help with what little I know.

I do know this... with a stock build.prop file; The market offered me plenty of apps to choose from. A few that I wanted, for example - the Optimum app and especially the official Netflix app, weren't offered to me. Period. I couldn't get them. (honestly speaking) This occurred a few builds back, so maybe something's changed in the interim (and maybe not).

At the time I sought out, and found, and implemented a fix... and it worked for me - So for the last three builds, I've re-implemented my fix, and offered others help who've spoken of experiencing similar issues.

One of the LAST things I want to happen here... is to get into any row with YOU. And certainly, make no mistake... I'm absolutely willing to defer to your greater knowledge and experience. And I'm not (as they say) blowing smoke up your... you know what.

So you help the guy with his issues if you'd care to. I'm just sharing what worked for me. And maybe you're right. Maybe I no longer need this editing fix. I'm cool with that!

Hey uzi... indulge me this if you'll be so kind... show me a screenshot of the official Netflix app on your phone ready to Install. I'd be thrilled to see it!

[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
I don't use it but the Market Enabler should allow you access to it (or so I've read). But you know what? I'm not looking to put you out or test you or challenge you. What I do (and have done) works for me. Come the next build, and before I re-edit my build.prop (as you say, I may not have to)... I'll uninstall Netflix, go to the market and see it if it's available for me. Whatever the case... I'll post a screenshot for you. If it works; Great! if not, I'll fix it... and if my (non-essential) advice to others about this issue - rubs you the wrong way - I'll be happy to cease & desist, and keep it to myself. So I hope we're now cool with this. :) :cool:

[HD2 Android SD Development] MarkAtHome:
As I read your post, I just downloaded it. I don't want it, but I downloaded it. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
I missed your edit? Why don't you reread my post #14610 here <--- linked, where I wrote, "No secret - I've wanted to be able to run the Netflix app on my HD2. Every single .apk for it that I found (here on XDA) and tried to use, had functionality issues... long buffering pauses, freezes, non-responsive controls, and FC's. I tried about five, and not one worked (consistently) well, for me, on my HD2.

After those build.prop changes; the Netflix app (from Netflix) that I was finally able to d/l from the market 'officially' works FLAWLESSLY."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Those Netflix .apk's (with the functionality issues I mentioned), were from post #3 via Sprintusa, and another poster who had also made available Netflix .apk's here on XDA, and whose name I don't recall. - These didn't work well for me, on my device. Do you think I'm making this up?

uzi, my friend (who I don't know)... I meant what I posted earlier, and also above. You're wearing me a bit thin now. Let it be!

Cheers mate

Yeah, it took me three days to catch up :D

OMG, I am addicted to ACA and now there are three fixes. Which one should I choose? ...

I guess it is SD as I tried cLK and didn't like space limitation (my data.img is almost 2GB in size). I thought I saw something about future possibility of using data.img with cLK builds and I hope it is going to happen.

For now SD and I may go for WP7 out of sheer curiosity.

It's not the size of the sig that is important, it is the way I use it... I actually maintain both my phone and my wifes, and often have differant versions on each, although currently we have the same build. I update mine more often, but I put both in my sig, so that if I am having issues with hers (She tells me something isn't working and I confirm it) I can then post about it. As all she cares about is that the phone works, and has no interest in my flashing hobby (and I am talking about the phone in this instance for those who read that the wrong way, although I will ass, she doesn't mind me flashing her, in the privacy of our home :)) As for the kids, my twins are 16 months old, and unfortunatly to young, in my opinion to have a phone. however, when teh time is right, I am sure they will have an appropriate entry to reflect their phone. Having said that, I am one of those who are concerned about the phone radiation so close to their growing brains, that I will not let them near my phone or the wifes. And when I do give them a phone, it will have the ear peice disabled, so they will have to use either speaker phone, or corded headset. Mind you, now days they only seem to text, and not talk on the phone. Who knows what they will be doing a few years down the road when my boys are old enough...

Not related to your posts, which I actually enjoy, but I saw this on the portal this morning, and as I think it is a great feature, that may be useful for many of us, I wanted to highlight it http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/how-to-add-an-xda-member-to-your-ignore-list/

Random Dial outs?

I'm on the Aug-7 build with a img file from probably late June or July. I've been experiencing the usual high BT drain and loss of sound somewhat randomly. All this I've expected, and they are reasonably well detailed.

What happened this morning, however I didn't expect.

My phone was sitting on the nightstand, plugged into usb power, in theory charging. I heard it vibrate. I picked it up, and it was dialing out to a contact in the middle of my contacts list (letter "L") that I've not called in quite some time, probably before I moved to ACA over a year ago.

That is a bit disturbing, so I went through my call logs, and found other dial outs that I have not ever made willingly.

Anyone else experience this?
[HD2 Android SD Development] MarkAtHome:
I have had to infer something along those lines oftentimes in my past.

I love it.

Ah, but what language have you decided that they will program in?

Mine stopped growing.

Nor you, me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Do you have headphones plugged in? Sometimes there are issues with the plug, that triggers it to dial. I believe this was discussed early in this thread, so you may want ot check that out (Search). This is, to my knowledge, the most common cause of phantom dialing. alternatly, maybe there is an issue with your send button, unlikely, but could be something to do with it. Dirt can build up, and it my be sticky, and cause phantom dialing. Finally, some can be butt dials, if you have the option to unlock with hard keys. You may wnat to disable them , if that is the case. Hope this helps
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Just noticed my typo in the response above that, maybe it was Freudian :) As it is already quoted, I shall leave it as is.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Phoenix65420:
No headphones, just power. No hard button unlock, but as you mentioned that, my BT was still connected. THAT could have (and probably did) cause the dial out. Thank you sir! I'm not usually that noobish. 5am will do that to me apparently :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Re : random phone behavior. I notice when my phone is plugged in that it behaves very erratically during input. So, I unplug it when I need to use it. However, I don't think it has ever called out on its own. So, yeah, my vote is BT, and butt dials for other calls. (In my case, purse calls).

Re : market. I am wondering about "forcing" my phone to upgrade. Mine still has the old market on it. Based on fora dialog, I'm not surrounding want to pursue the new market app. What do you guys think? ~kris
