OMG

Cope, warren and all of you are simple THE best
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
here..... ;)

now keep in mind this is @ lcd den 181...

after this next compile it should work the same @ 167 ... fingers crossed..

and btw.... this one is making me giddy... like .. you have no idea. ;P

drool?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ravibc:
boot into winmo. plug with usb into PC - go into android folder & relevant subfolder and find build.prop, CREATE A COPY, then open -> open with Notepad. Find "ro.ril.hsdpa.category=" and then replace the value with whatever you want. Exit, Save - Run Android - Voila...:)

".nomedia" file

Copy an empty file with the name ".nomedia" (without quotes) in all folders that you want to not display images with the gallery and fix the problem!! or take the attachment file, it contains the file you want.
[HD2 Android SD Development] codiak:
But it has the ugly sideeffect that also music will be excluded. How to separat music and photos?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
wait..... you creating a .nomedia in your thumbnails folder wont exclude music....

lol

your music and photos should already be seperated....

???
[HD2 Android SD Development] bbsnick:
The creation of .nomedia file at one folder, make all images at this folder hidden from the stock gallery.

i'm not sure, but maybe that the .nomedia file makes all others media files at the same folder (*.mp3 or others) disappear from music player.

I don't know the way to seperate this.:(
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
check it out

@ 167 lcd density.

We may ultimately need to swap in some higher res graphics at some point...

but its working ;)

ITS ALIIVE!!!!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Congrats !!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] runkle6:
same here ... u found an solution?

i started 2105 build with new data img ...

greetz, oppen
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
your music should be in subfolders inside of the music folder

this is the proper way to store your music.

/sdcard/music/ArtistName/Albumname/Song.mp3

make a pictures folder

/sdcard/pictures/ and put your pictures there.

I dont understand why this is so difficult. llol
[HD2 Android SD Development] codiak:
Most of my folders with music has coverpictures in it (created by the sense music player in wimo)

Surely my photos are in a spearate folder ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
So what was the solution?
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Do you still use winmo and the sense player?

If not, erase your music(with pictures), copy it(without pictures) back from your PC and there shouldn't be any more pictures in your music folder.

Anyway, when you have a dedicated photo folder, this folder should appear in gallery as one stack. All your photos in one place. What is the big deal, when there are also other stacks of pictures?
[HD2 Android SD Development] runkle6:
i think i know what he means:

i have in the folder sdcard/music nearly 200 subfolder,

each is one cd with mp3s and one folder.jpg, shown

as cover-folder-pic in the players on the phone.

in the gallery now there are these 200 subfolders.

when u copy an .nomedia to the folder sdcard/music

the subfolders are not shown in the gallery anymore.

but also in the music-player.

i choosed the following solution:

for my music i use the mortplayer, an mp3 folder player.

i have the .nomedia in the music folder, but the subfolders

are shown in this mp3 player (but not in the gallery).

for my pics i use quickpic. in this app u have the option

to show the hidden folders if u need them.

to exclude folders i use the app gallery excluder ... its easier

then copy all these .nomedia files to the wished excluded

folders.

ok.

i have one other problem. i installed the 2105 version,

with new data.img. when i copy files using usb from pc to

the phone, they wont be shown in any file manager.

i have to reboot to 'see' these files in any file manager.

anybody? please??

last version i used was 1105, where the usb function was

broken, transferring files to sd was horrible slow ...

but i saw the files immediatly in the file manger.

i remember, on version in february had the same problem,

i think it was solved, but i dont find the post in this endless

thread ... ;)

[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
File transfer via usb is still broken.

You can use dropbox or other cloud based services in the meantime or connect directly to a PC via wifi or bluetooth.

They are working on it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
Its the file that controls backup2sdext, which may cause your problem?

I really dont know, but for starters check this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14029501&postcount=8698

That way you disable backup2sdext, then check again if your msgs are gone after reboot.

If it doesnt work you could try with just 2 partitions, one fat32 and one linux swap, all other settings the same like in the tutorial.

[HD2 Android SD Development] loaferkan:
This build is set to 167 lcd density for screen resolution. if you prefer larger icons and fonts, before you boot android - copy the root folder from

/sdcard/android/240buildprop/root<-here to

/sdcard/android/root <-here

and boot.

Do I copy/paste it, or Cut and copy...what I mean is that should I keep one copy of the "root" at 240buildprop and one at android/ or just cut the "root" and paste it to android/?:confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] globalgpj:
Love the May 21 build.........everything working great so far that I use.

Nobody talks about HD Recording.

Hi there...

I was just wondering why nobody talks about the HD Recording in HD2 on this build. Neither is it in the 'TO-DO' list of Cope n Warren, nor does anybody ask anything about it, nor does anybody reply to my quotes. :) :)

Was just wondering if this topic is a taboo here or have my missed anything in the previous posts.

Doesn't anybody think that having HD Recording will actually complete the BUILD? :)

PLease, someone reply...
[HD2 Android SD Development] gillgrylls:
Cope and a few others have mentioned in the past that because of hardware HD recording may not even be made to work correctly on our HD2's. Not sure the hardware can handle HD recording on the HD2 but would be nice. I just record in You Tube High mode. works fine for me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:

Update on Exchange Email Sync fix

I've been keeping an eye on this one... after being submitted, approved once, then pulled - another version of a patch to work around the bug that makes exchange sync stop working is awaiting review and approval at CM.

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,5635

All going well, we might have it for burger Thursday this week! (big hint there Cope - you should just see it in the CM updates) Thanks go to the coder Brandon, for all the effort he has put into getting this working properly.

EDIT: Damn... it's been pulled again. Don't know what's happening with it now. Will monitor and advise.

Using data.img file

I've read most (if not all) of the posts regarding the data.img files.

I'm about to install my first SD Android and I chose AmericanDroid because it's (The) most popular and it includes RTL support out-of-the-box.

I just have 2 questions (with several items in each one to keep it interesting...):

1. If I let it create a new data.img file - will it be 1GB by default (I'm using a 16GB card) or will I have to resize it? and if so - what should I use to resize?

2. I've seen threads for downloading data.img files of various sizes for specific builds. Is there one for the current AmericanDroid one? there was no link to it on the first page of the thread? Would it be recommended to do so?
[HD2 Android SD Development] globalgpj:
Actually there was an update for the program, so it is better to update...always some improvements. But thanks for the tip ! :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
By default it will create a 1GB data.img

If you require a different size then simply find any blank image and put that in the android folder.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rweitsz:
data.img

1. The build will create a 1Gb by default. Does not need resizing.

2. No data.img download needed. See 1.
[HD2 Android SD Development] maiap:
Guys,

Back to this volume issue again.

I create a new data image and apparently it solved the wired headset problem. I can regulate the sound now.

However it stills too high in respect of "in-call volume".

I put the in-call volume at the lowest level and even so the voice of the other person is incredible high. Hurt my ears.

I notice that some of other ACA users have got this problem.

We really need your help for a fix.

Is there a way?

BTW Thanks for all other ACA features in this build are doing so well in our HD2.
[HD2 Android SD Development] d3m0n1:
I had this problem with an earlier build (in one of the April builds). My data.img suddenly got corrupted, and i updated to the new version starting from scratch (deleted all partitions, created new ones, formatted them as fat32, ext-3 and swap, created new data.img). Did not restore any apps with a backup app (titanium backup, etc..), and the high volume problem wen't away. I'm booting from Magldr v1.13.

Maybe you could try starting from scratch, and maybe that would solve your problem, 'cause it solved mine.

[HD2 Android SD Development] sanju.b80:
Finally... Thanks for the reply. This is the first reply i have recieved on the subject HD Recording. :)

Everywhere i have searched on the net, there are mixed reactions of people on whether or not HD2 will ever get HD Recording.

However, most of the posts say that the camera and the hardware of HD2 supports HD Recording. I think its just a matter of time when we should see some progress on AmericanAndroid :)

Right Cope?

Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
of course, if there is an update its better to update, but this will happen after every build update and rather than uninstalling and reinstalling goggles in market you can just do as I described.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
This is page 888 :d
[HD2 Android SD Development] d3m0n1:
The hardware does support HD recording, because WP7 on HD2 can record video in 720p, and it does it in a pretty decent manner. I don't know if it will ever be available for android, but my guess is that if it will be, it wont be good with an SD build, because our mem cards might not be able to handle the increased load (reads and writes) during a HD video recording session (Android is running from SD, and camcorder is writing huge ammounts of HD video data to the card).

But then again, I will be glad if someone (Cope and Warren maybe) will prove me wrong ;-)

[HD2 Android SD Development] JeremyGuan:
Do ACA team have an Archive files where it's easy for the user to look for the best build? Kinda missing build from April though... :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
"Someone" give us a share some pages ago, maybe you'll find happyness there ;-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
The devs no longer have the archive on the first page because users kept using old builds, complaining about things in this thread that have been solved with newer builds.

It is impossible to give support for all builds, especially with the rate the devs churn out new versions.

That's why they only have a link to the newest build.

We want to go forwards, not backwards. So instead of using old builds, use the newest one and help us to figure out how to make it better. You can't do that with an old build.

Befor you update to a new build, make a backup of your old, working Android. If you find that the update doesn't perform aswell as the old version, go back to your backup. That's OK, but going through an archive looking for completely outdated builds is useless.
[HD2 Android SD Development] MattRob:
All looking great and smooth ! Two questions though:

I do not seem to get the screen at 240p density ... ? I have copied the folder ROOT from 240buildprop to Android, after the first boot it changes in .root folder. But I still have the same small apps and text ? I rebooted twice now ...

Other question about the data connection; which is green normally. I had one moment when it turned all grey and my connection (WiFi as well as 3G / GPRS) was gone. Is there a solution for this issue ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Don't copy the build.prop folder out of Android. It only works if Android is not running when you copy that folder.

The data connection is not 100% stable. But it improved greatly since this build started out. They are pretty close to stable now. Live with it or don't use ACA. There is nothing else you can do.
[HD2 Android SD Development] MattRob:
Txs. I did not copy the build.prop folder during Android; I did it during WM. Do I have to do it before the first boot of Android, so before the large image file is made ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
Yes, data is really very stable, and even if there's some deconnection, it reconnect very fast.

Am i the only one that have the led that become green about 90% of battery charged ?

it doesn't matter anyway, and it's not a major problem.

My last recalibration was made 3 days ago (old data.img (i know, i know...)), and it's always like this since my latest build update.

For build.prop

i think it must be before first boot, but if you modify it after, it only affect that you have to reboot twice (what i read, if i remember well).
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
You're not the only one
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
While I simply love this build, I have 2 issues with the latest build they are as follows...

I am running the MAy 21st ACA build, and as I was having issues with my build, I decided to wipe teh SD card once more, but this time, I went and partitioned it, in Linux, so I dodn't quit follow Copes instructions, but I basically have the first partition FAT around 14GB, then I have a 1GB Ext3, followed by a 128MB Linux Swap.

I went through an initial install, did all/most of my settings and tweaks, but did not install or remove or update any software. I switched ketboards to the HTC one included int the ROM. I shutdown, and booted back into windows to mount both partitions, and all seems to be working, I see backups of my apps, data, and cache, all look fine.

When I rebooted, keyboard crashed. I had to move it to SD then back to Phone to get it to work. I still get the FC/Wait dialog, but a lot less often. I gave it a day like that, and rebooted several times, each time, I needed to move the keyboard to get it to work. With the FC/Wait still going on, but not as often as before, I went ahead and restored all my apps. Tested them out, and they worked (Handcent SMS for example), however when I reboot, some apps still need to be moved to SD then back to Phone to work again (Handcent SMS and HTC Keyboardfor example) Otheres work fine. I still get the Wait/FC often, although not as much as on the 0519 build, but it is still comming up. I did a Fix permission prior to restoring my apps, and noticed no differance.

Did I make a huge mistake when I partitioned my card, or is something going on that I can fix. I think it may be in the restore process, as apps are fine when freshly installed, but seem to mess up after a reboot. I see a few people with the Wait/FC issue, are your cards partitioned? Should I remove my ext3 partition? should I make it ext2 or 4?? Am I missing a step, as I did this all under linux, I figured it would just work, but aparently, it isn't.

Any help would be apreciated with both the app crash after reboot, and the FC/Wait issue...

And yes, I have read every single post here, and in cope's origional thread, and the Faq, plus copes instructions, and I do know what I am doing, for the most part.

Aside from this, the build feels good, except for teh Waiting issue that is driving me bonkers, I may have to go back to the pre-May 19th build to see if it is somehting hardware (My SD Card) related or not...

One final thing, while data is rock solid on this build, I am having issues with WiFi. While I can get a connection, it will only work for a few minutes, it may still show connected, but it just doesn't work. I have to switch WiFi off, get back a Data signal ofer E or 3G/H , then reconnect wifi, and it is fine for another few minutes. This never happened to me on older builds, and sometimes when I turn WiFi on from teh settings screen, it fails to turn on, and givem me an Error... Can anyone repodice this...

Strange, I tried this now, rebooted twice, but still I have the small Apps and fonts ... I have to copy the complete folder /ROOT from buildprop to the /Android/ROOT folder ? And it is correct that after the first boot, it changed to /Android/.root/SYSTEM/build.prop ?

It looks quite simple, but I must be doing something stupidly wrong ... :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
You are doing this in WinMo 6.5 not in Android right??

As far as I understood it, it is a normal behavior because android is loading your battery to 100 percent if you plug your mobile phone in with battery under 90%. But if you try to charge you battery with a level over 90% it won't charge at all.

altho it is always better to use the newest build. and if i do provide you with an older build, and you have issues with it, not many people will take kindly to being asked about it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
if copying the folder doesnt work do it manually,

boot into android

use a file manager like ES file explorer and give it root access.

navigate to /system/build.prop

open the file and scroll down until you reach "ro.sf.lcd_density="

change the value from 167 to 240 and reboot
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Yes, copy the root folder and all its content into your Android folder. It doesn't have to be done before the first boot, you can do it anytime.

You have to do it out of winmo because of the "." that ist put before "root". That is done, so that the system doesn't apply the build.prop file again after every reboot. The "." gets put there at the first shutdown or reboot you do out of Android. That's why you can't copy the root folder out of Android.

No amount of reboots of Android will help. It's only the first boot up after copying the root folder that it actually gets recognized by Android. After that, you have the "." before "root" and android doesn't recognize it anymore.

I have no idea why it doesn't work for you. The way you describe what you did sounds ok.

Anyway, follow the instructions ben.marks gave you and do it manually. That is going to work for sure.

[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
If you partition your card, and create the ext2/3/4 partition, it will mirror your apps and data, and should restore to a clean fresh data file on first boot. I just set this up for May 21st, and will let you know if it works next release, or sooner, as I may go back a version or two tonight.
[HD2 Android SD Development] prattjo:
It is an idea I am not sure is possible but if it is, it is worthwhile. I have done same as you and kept my data.img, but in the 21/05 version I have a phone that is slow to wake up, I tried reformatting the sd and copying to it the old content, and the phone is still slow so I thought maybe a solution involving reorganizing the data.img might help.
