Is it confirmed that Google are using screen density to differentiate between phones and tablets? I put it forward as a theory some while ago, but have not seen any proof.

It is not just screen density that is causing issues with the new market. Some are having problems with Google apps and others can't find apps even at 240dip.

Search for oldmarket in the market and you will find an app that let's you switch between old and new markets.

Regarding long boot time, first, pull the battery and try again. Every once in awhile the initial boot hangs. This is assuming you are not using a data image from another Dev. The images between different Dev builds are not interchangeable.

Regarding the reboot into winmo - I have not experienced any winmo changes after using android via my SD card. I'm not sure what would be affected or why.

Go to settings/applications/manage applications

Then "freeze" market updater with Titanium backup or similar program.

Take your time. Your efforts are always appreciated.

One quick question.. are you seeing any issues with BT connectivity? I have no problem connecting to my car via BT but if I initiate a call thru the car it displays a "problem, check your phone.. " message, pauses for a short while, after which the call is made despite the message. Quite strange.. no idea what to make of it so far.
[HD2 Android SD Development] GSDLt:
I have a similar problem. But I can't even find the menu where I could active usb tethering. I searched the net, but when I go to Menu - network I only have the option "mobile wifi hotspot", which I can setup and connect to. USB is no where to be found. Has it been removed or am I just searching in the wrong place?
[HD2 Android SD Development] webvan:
Same here with v2.15.50.14.and generally speaking it has a hard time locking onto the Orange network.

Someone suggested 2.12.50.02_2 but sensitivy is not improved and I even had two hard freezes yesterday (had to remove battery) when it was trying to reacquire yesterday...going back to 2.15.50.14.

Wonder is there's a better Radio or if a Tmobile US HD2 will always have weak sensitivity in Europe...
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
I'm gonna go with the latter...

I couldve sworn it was an actual app...

[HD2 Android SD Development] NYLimited:
I am on TMO US and have tried several radios, including the two mentioned above. Data drops are present with both - not sure which has less (sigh).
[HD2 Android SD Development] mr_billionaire:
I have the stock radio that came with my phone from the day I bought it. (2.10.50.26)

And data drops are somewhat rare when I make my phone 3G only, I still get them from time to time while I drive around, but nothing to serious as it will connect within 5-10 seconds.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
The problem is that you make too much money. If you took out all the gold coins in your pockets, you'd get better signal. Also Maybach's sometimes shelter celluar signals...
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
I liked it when the wired USB tether was a part of the options presented when you connected your phone to your PC. That disappeared the same time we had all of those problems with the usb connections and I was never sure why. Seems like USB tethering and data transfer is not really resolved yet by CM. I don't know why, as these are functions really desired by people to be reliable. And, they used to work! It's worse to lose something functional than never to have had it. ~kris

[HD2 Android SD Development] DrQuincy:
Howdy!

Is there an edit to the startup.txt or build.prop file that I can make to identify my HD2 as something else?

There are Market apps that I can't download because the Market sees the HD2 as incompatible.

SIAP - I did not find anything in a search, and I found no direct access to the apk.
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17480281&postcount=15978

This should be all you need to do. If you still have market access issues after changing the lcd density to 240, then there are some other simple edits to the build.prop that can change the devices identity... doing these may not be necessary. Post back if you still have issues.
[HD2 Android SD Development] DrQuincy:
That is the solution! Thanks!

it may not be convenient, but it does work...

BTW: I have been running 167dpi for so long...240dpi looks very strange...

Hi everyone...it's burger thursday but I can't see the new build...anyone care to direct me to the correct link?
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Hope this works and I didn't start a misinformation campaign.

uzi mentioned the screen density as a possibility. I didn't remember correctly and repeated it as a fact. Now users get pointed to that "fact" post.

Would be nice to get a feedback on this to find out if the screen density really is the reason for the inability to download certain apps.

Edit:

Oh well, the feedback arrived before my post. Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] erickdj:
it didn't work for me. I changed the density back to normal and it still won't let me install youtube. Oh, by the way, I don't think it's the density, last night I was trying a different rom with the same high density and it let me install youtube without any issues or having to switch to standard density.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Mh, I've had installation issues before. Long before the market update. I think the Youtube app was one of those that made trouble for me, too. And I'm always using 240 as density setting. I even put it in before the first boot of a new build.

Your issue doesn't have to be related to the new market and therefore not be solved by changing the density.

Could well be that a fresh install will solve your problem.

If I remember correctly, I used a file explorer to kick the app out of the system because I couldn't get rid of it any other way and then downloaded it from market again. That worked for me but I don't even know if the Youtube app is still integrated in the system, like it was back then.

[HD2 Android SD Development] rider123:
I have a rooted nook color running CM7 off Sd that works great so I though I would give ACA a try on my hd2.

I have it running on the hd2 and like it, but there are many apps unavailable in the market, youtube, angrybirds, nook reader ....

I have tried changing the screen density to 240 and no go. On my nook I could revert back to the old market since that was originally installed. I was able to get more apps that way. With the hd2 I cannot do this since the original market app was the updated one. Is there an apk for the old market app floating around?

I cannot even download the ES Explorer to modify my phone identity as was recommended above.

Do I need to try another ROM? Or is there something else I can change. I really wanted to go with CM7 to be consistent on my 2 devices.

Front Camera

I know this was covered somewhere else, but I can't find the posts. Will we eventually get the use of the front camera? Right now, when i choose swap camera, it just rotates the screen 180 degrees.
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
I can't find the posts either, but as far as I can tell... there is no front camera on an HD2... or, am I missing something?
[HD2 Android SD Development] phatphat:
The front camera is located towards the top left of the screen, just left of the speaker. Look for two "holes" in the black screen outline - one of them is the camera.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nsheaffer:
Front Camera?

If the HD2 has one, I have never known about it.

Now i am interested. There was a good decussion once about the HD2 have a internal FM Transmitter but I dont think anything ever came to be from that.

Front Camera though, that would be cool to have.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Dblfstr:

Reboot? If you haven't done that already.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mr_billionaire:

If there was a front facing camera on the HD2, we would have been able to use it since Windows Mobile, and HTC would say it has one.

Just upgraded to 0828 from 0817 and I'm getting a big battery drain again with the screen off at around 60mAh versus 6mAh, anyone else had that problem? Now I did replace WP7 by WM6.5 so can no longer boot directly from MAGLDR so that might explain the problem? Thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
There were a number of threads about this battery drain. The problem ISN'T the build, the 8/28 build is great.

(Personally) I had a similar issue along the line, and probably dealt with it the wrong way... so I'm not actually advising you to do the same, but I deleted the /data/system/batterystats.bin file and recalibrated my battery. Problem solved... 5-8 mAH standby drain.
[HD2 Android SD Development] webvan:
Thanks, it's certainly possible that 0828 isn't the culprit but I don't think calibration has anything to do with the battery running out of juice faster than with 0817 (I'd done some recalibration in the past with no success). I guess I should return to my previous dual boot setup to get to the bottom of it...or return to 0817 (it seems to be available here http://www.multiupload.com/9L3IJ2P4AV), yes that might be easier, ok...here we go!
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:

[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
okay so from yesterday and todays post there are two problems I can solve easily.

1. the voice search crash.. ill make sure the newest voice search files are included in the next release.

2. docent's swap partition feature is not fully working due to an oversight on my part (forgot to include the parted binary in the build.)

for warren

1. the premature stop of charging shortly after beginning charge cycle.

if I remember correctly this started happening WAY back when they first got USB to PC working. Something to do with you can either mount your sdcard via usb OR charge, but not both at the same time.... (most likely is the same issue) I believe this is a kernel related issue that NEVER got sorted out properly. Lucky for us we have a WICKED kernel dev. under our belt.

Thats not bad for a day's worth of feedback. keep it comming.

we still need screen shots for the OP. If you want to show off any screenshot of your device, upload it to a pic sharing site and pm warren, cope or our dev acct with the link. We need about 7 pics top... so the best 7 pics will get picked for the first post.

tips: we like screen shots that show off working features... ie: wifi connected... gps icon @ the top.... super user prompt..... etc and so forth.

There was a good screenshot in cope's sd thread from a user that was modifying his systemframework (the circle battery guy) I want that screen shot to show what CAN be done with the build for example.

i have installed LCDDensity to do the icons a bit bigger, so i set 200 with this app

but now some aps run in a lower resolution, i mean no full screen

how can i fix this problem
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmeriCanAndroid:
first off, if u want bigger icons.... just go into adw settings and make icons bigger.

:eek:

next if apps arnt running in full screen, go into spare parts app and uncheck compatibility mode.

and last .. reboot...

alternatively... or rather where you should have started first was to edit /sdcard/android/240buildprop/root/system/build.prop

look for ro lcd density line and change THAT to your desired resolution. Then navigate back a few folders until you see the folder root. long press it. copy. move up another folder so you can see all the build files. clrcad haret data etc etc and long press in there, paste. now amongst the build files you will see a folder called root.

REBOOT. when your device loads back up, it will be set to the lcd density you set manually in the build.prop file you edited and copied.

subsequent changes to lcddensity can then be done by editing /sdcard/android/root/system/build.prop infact @ each boot your lcd density will be overwritten BY that build.prop file until you remove it(simply delete /sdcard/android/root folder.
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmeriCanAndroid:
LOL! u've got a gremlin in your phone... lol.

3. Music3 player to stop when disconnecting headphones.

4. Lockscreen music controls actually work for music3 like it did before
