From the feb 21 release moving forward I have 100% confidence this is all you will have to do... as I wrote the backup functions myself and have tested everything.

If you are migrating up from i think it was feb 16 and up, then i would first just verify that there is data @ /sd-ext/app/HERE. if there is... your good to go. :)

earlier then feb 16.... you still need to backup with titanium :)

but eitherway.. moving forward yes... delete.. replace... reboot.

BAM done. :)

remember first boot is always gonna take a little while longer.. but its still shorter then the feb16 builds. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] blacksheep242:
Thanks. will try and post results.
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmeriCanAndroid:
UPDATE

first post has been updated to reflect version change.

if you were holding off updating for something significant..

now is the time :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] biosensorben:
Quick question - I'm sure it has been answered before, but the thread search isn't currently working.... for 20-30mins it says!

I know the standard file explorer won't be able to look at the /sd-ext, so what is the easiest way of checking that there are things in the app folder on the Sd-ext please?

Just downloading - can't wait!

edit>

Just found something on the market for looking in 'other' places - however it appears that there is nothing in the sd-ext - not even the apps folder. I've been using the feb 16 build, but absolutely nothing is there - time for a fresh start again then!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] nuron:
If i'm not using any partitions or whatever, can I just do the classic Android boot from SD sequence (clrcad.exe, then haret.exe)? I'm on darkstone RAM right now and want to switch.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
@ how to see whats in /sd-ext/

estrongs file explorer should be able to see in there.

any android file explorer :)

root explorer

....

etc
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
yes just proceed like you always have. copy the build to your sdcard

run clrcad and haret. done and done... we left it simple for everyone :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] biosensorben:
Thanks Cope.

I'm using the Feb 16 build and estrongs isn't showing anything in /sd-ext/ (even with show hidden files enabled) althougth from the minitool partition wizard in windows it is saying 48Mb is used - is this just the basic junk which always gets put in - it seems a bit big for that?
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
Can the snappiness of the new build be witnessed for us who used our 16feb data.img?

or is it best seen if we start new one.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
one other thing you can do is

run terminal

type su hit enter

cd /sd-ext

ls

anything?

CHECK if your sd-card is mounting properly.

in terminal type

mount hit enter

look for mmcblk0p2 /sd-ext somewhere in there ..

if it's there, your sd-card is mounted properly... update to the new build and after your first boot you should then see data in /sd-ext ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
always try your existing first...

if it works (and theres no reason it shouldnt work) YAY

if it doesnt ... sad face.. anti-yay :(

but after this build... a new data.img wont be a bad thing anymore... :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] biosensorben:
Using terminal I can now see the app folder on /sd-ext/, but there is nothing in it.

It appears to be mounting properly as well.

Will try the new simple way, and if that doesn't work I'll do it the long way!
[HD2 Android SD Development] WOOZ!E:
Is there anyway I could make the icons and overall display bigger in this build?

If you're using the world edition, several people (including myself) have encountered an empty app folder in the 16th build.

I'm currently using the TMo 19th and the app folder is now full of goodies :-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] mundae:
thanks man..

i thought all the problems were bounded for my phone only.. ;)

and i just wanted to ask that while updating, should i do the titanium backup process b4 reformatting n updating to save all the installed apps or there is another easier way out..??

[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
The user support right now is making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Thanks to all that help, are helping, and have helped.

I just updated to 4/22. We'll see how it goes...
[HD2 Android SD Development] ataf:
so tell me why is your comment better than my ???

sinless as my comment before, so no need to write

tell me why you write here sinless things like me?

I think some people should come back to earth, I hate this godmode thinking of some pimply boys , you should go out and see some sun
[HD2 Android SD Development] der_mattin:
Yes,

also seamlessly paired mw600 here, but audiostream with interruptions :-\

But Data and WiFi works great now - let's have a look at the battery... :-O

Thanks for you work, boyz!! ;O)

Martin
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
I don't think a "godmode" has anything to do with it. I am guessing he just wishes you had read before you posted so that you didn't clutter up the thread with YAPAQ (Yet Another Previously Answered Question)

It's ok to feel a little stung by his approach but he wouldn't have said anything if you had read first... in theory. Also he is trying to show others that such actions are not the best ones to take and that reading is fundamental.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Ataf - I believe his comment was warranted and tame compared to what's happened on this thread before. First, SEVERAL people had already noted that AmeriCanAndroid's dropbox link wasn't working because of overcapacity AND two separate people provided a new link to the file (thanks so much!!). If you had read a few posts, you would have realized that yours was unnecessary.

People who faithfully read the forum have low patience for others who come and complain while not contributing.

[HD2 Android SD Development] lantern20:

anyways again, thanks for a perfect build and thanks for ur time and effort. Works perfect on my phone :D

[HD2 Android SD Development] Final5k:
I have been testing some builds here and I must say that this is one of the fastest + most stable Android version I have used. Many thanks for this! Now my HTC HD2 seems to be a new phone :) I'm still new to it and the Android OS seems a little bit confusing to me since I am only used to Windows Mobile 6.5 OS, but I will surely adapt in a few weeks of use. Still Android is really great!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] mundae:
hey..

the guide says that after the 1st boot up the phone will shut down on its own after 5-10 min...

nothing of this sort happened to my phone... so after 15min i manually rebooted my phone...

it seems to be working fine as per now...!!!

and then the guide says that "The script should now have been removed from /sdcard/android/HERE and you should be FC free!"

which script is being talked about in here..?? i still have fix_permissions.sh located in /sdcard/android/HERE.

please help... iam really confused at the mment.... :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
wow..

i didnt know you could "exceed your limits" on drop box...

lolololo

either way... im uploading now to multiupload..

guys im totally sorry... lol i stay up late finishing that for you only to find out you cant dl it.

BAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

posting a new set of links shortly.

Thanks... your link worked fine and the download was fast :)

Dropbox pretty much sucked.

[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
But you gotta feel proud of the way us users and "fake mods" were able to help each other out in the meantime. Because of these efforts I was able to DL the build this morning when I got into work.

Wifi seems fixed. I won't be able to get my first test of data till I leave work. That is my ultimate test as I'm on a train and the trip has very severe reception bubbles and black holes all along the way.
[HD2 Android SD Development] agtokc:
Been doing good for me around town! Seems like a better 3G connection in areas I would normally have weak or no connection

Tried Apr 22nd build. Wifi with 802.1x authentication still not working. Didn't work in Apr 18th build either. It works without issue in all prior builds.
[HD2 Android SD Development] asmd6230:
hi cope & warren..

just updated to this build (not a fresh install) and will report situation with data after i give it a thorough whirl.

just curious though.. what exactly is the problem with data?

and AFAIK, its a non reconnection issue, this build wouldn't improve signal strength now would it?

regards,

asmd.
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmeriCanAndroid:
you dont need to be REALLY confused... thats no good for anyone ;)

heres the deal. the date and time on your system.ext2 in the downloaded build files.

if its before (older then) 4/22/2011 2:05 AM..... then you are using an old build

(USERS WHO HAVE POSTED LINKS... make sure your linked build is the latest .. if not please remove links) ty.

also ... swype down on home screen is working again ;)

darkalex and I are gunna hunt down and smack the btch up (ADHOC) today if we can.... stay tuned
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
For Mundae and Der Mattin -

If you are using partitions and bkup2sd, then the note on page one and Cope's clarification applies. If you are ONLY copying the android folder onto your unpartitioned SD card and either using a bootloader or manually starting, the script does not apply. (So, do not expect your phone to restart).

Kris
[HD2 Android SD Development] mundae:
the pixels are still missing... n i really dont know the prob with lock screen... as of now it seems perfect...

and i just checked... my system.ext2 is dated 4/22/2011 12.20pm
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmeriCanAndroid:
yah sorry my bad.. i think there was a dark color behind it when I checked the first time.. my bad. its still there

sad face.... :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] sagarjawaress:
I hv 2 questions

1-how is 720p recording?(better than current recording?)

2-this build supports magldr?

Sorry if this has been answered before.

sent from my beloved hd2
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
1- Yes, but very slow currently.

2- Yep. Cause our build happens to be...the **** you know? Haven't you heard? :-P
[HD2 Android SD Development] shah_vm:
i am unable to connect to hidden wifi network on 041122 build
[HD2 Android SD Development] mundae:
yaa...

in last build the pixel were white always..

this time it is transparent... as you said if there is a dark color behind it then it seems perfect.. ;)

and yes as stated in my last msg.. the system.ext2 file is updated therefore iam using the latest build so fix_permission should work but it dint.

[HD2 Android SD Development] JesusFreak316:
Hehe; I always just assumed we were supposed to run

sh /sdcard/Android/fix_permissions.sh

in terminal emulator. That's what I've been doing, lol.
[HD2 Android SD Development] camoko:
little problem...

I have used every release of this built since a couple month ago. Great work guys! Downloaded and installed latest this morning as usual, phone booted up fine at first, ran for like 20 minutes when the taskbar disappeard. Did a reboot and phone got stuck in a boot loop. removed the battery and sd card and started up again normally. Ran again for a few hours, and just rebooted again in a circle. Did the whole remove battery thing again, and now it started up, but all my data is missing, apps don't start or FC,

any idea what the deal is? :confused:

just noticed that all my recent installed apps are gone...
[HD2 Android SD Development] hensond67:
How'd u check the date and timeof your system.ext2?
[HD2 Android SD Development] mundae:
in the downloaded files.. where the new build is installed..

simply opened it and saw the date and time...

[EDIT]

in computer...

downloaded file>>>AmericanAndroid042211>>>android>>system.ext2
[HD2 Android SD Development] hensond67:
Oh I thought u checked it from within your phone. Anyway to check it from the phone?
[HD2 Android SD Development] mundae:
the details will remain the same... checking from computer is easier...

in your phone the OS might not recognise the file.. therefore making it difficult to check the details.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
update

okay so we've figured out what was up with adhoc and alex has tested and confirmed that its working. cyanogen did some updates last night after I posted the 2:05am build... so its time for another update lol

uploading right away
[HD2 Android SD Development] hensond67:
Ok yea I can't read the file details from the phone. Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] orangekid:
thanks man, and also I installed the new update this morning and have not had one data drop yet, so whatever you did helped a lot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hensond67:
Lol ok I won't even bother checking the date on this current one I have then haha. Love the quick updates!
[HD2 Android SD Development] mundae:
hmmm....

ya.. and i dont like quick updates...

it just ends up in installing games which need external data again and again..

and the all the settings are washed....

but then anything for advanced builds... ;) :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheSkepticalGuy:
Don't worry, there is nothing to be confused about if you're not having FC's.
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheSkepticalGuy:
Nice! everything is working perfectly for me now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] orangekid:
in most of these builds you just replace the systemext and the zimage (if he did a kernel update) and the updates folder and that's all, you keep all you apps and settings. You might just have to redo the 240 res if you don't want to squint that's all.

No reason to redo a data.img except for major updates.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nsheaffer:
Is the new file posted now?

Thanks for everything! :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] mundae:
hey..

thanks for the information...

what did you mean by "redo the 240 res"..??

and does this way of updating work perfectly or should i stick to reformatting and installing if i say i can take the load of losing apps.. ? ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] agtokc:
Ok had my first reconnection issue... not sure what is helpful to report. I was stationary had good connection that bounced between 3g to H but stayed on 3g majority of the time. I browsed a few sites and downloaded a couple apps from market when lost connection to network. Toggled data waited few minutes nothing. Toggled airplane mode brought me back to strong 3g.

Still not convinced the network isn't the culprit to some extent rather than some issue with the build. But I'm not a programmer and wouldn't really know. ;) just know I've always had some issue with data connection since I've had the phone April 2010 no matter what OS I'm running.

[HD2 Android SD Development] nsheaffer:

[HD2 Android SD Development] see_u_then:
So the new update is for adhoc issue. It does not fix hidden ssids or 802.1x authenticated network issue. Right?
[HD2 Android SD Development] agtokc:
Drove through area I knew I would lose network and phone reconnected fine. I don't know if they've improved data networks in my area (lmao) or what but I'm realizing better data connection retention and faster bandwidth with this build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
I thought it did, because it connected to my work one fine but I came home and no go. I will try re-adding the network. If it still doesn't work then yea I'll wait for the dude that said they are actively working on it.

Data seems better. But this is an initial initial impression. It survived my train commute home much better than usual. I had to toggle data once compared to like 9 times...

Battery seems better but I'll let u know when I give it a full charge and let it go all the way down to 1%.
[HD2 Android SD Development] xavierh:
So far no connection issues with diner phone data or Bluetooth. Excellent build guys....

I tested Pandora, stitcher
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
I seemed to have a lot of probs wit 1804, my messages started acting up and kept force closing, and crashing if a message couldnt send (becasue of no signal), and had battery issues (first time ever on this build) so went back to 1304 which I had backed up still on my SD card. will try out 2204 tomorrow, hopefully it'll be good
[HD2 Android SD Development] sly5789:
camera/camcorder issues

Gread build no problems with data but now I face a problem with the camera. Took several pictures today but when I started using camcorder for video I noticed after a little over two minutes the app froze. I waited and closed the app and when I tried to open the camera app there is a window saying "Camera error, cannot connect to camera at this time." I tried to reinstall the camera app but still getting the same message and FC.

Working again now .. ****should have waited for reboot before I posted it***** sorry

[HD2 Android SD Development] TheSkepticalGuy:
Indeed! people should stop complaining like i did and just wait for a fix or change to another build.
