Hmm... not sure what I'm doing wrong. I upgraded my april 11 build by overwriting the Android folder on my SD-card with the new one. Suddenly I have no data whatsoever. Rebooting several times didn't help so I ended up overwriting the Android folder again with the old one (I backed up before upgrading). Guess I'll have to start from scratch.

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[HD2 Android SD Development] hensond67:
Yea you should have moved the contents from the new android folder into the old one. That way you still have the data image in there. By doing what you did you basically overwrite the whole folder thus deleting the old data file. Next time maybe back up the data file ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] venomhtchd2:
got a problem with data connection when i installed rafdroid in my friends hd2 but surprisingly, i was amaze how fast his data connection when i tried this build to his HD2!! i am currently using MDj v4.6 but definitely, i will switch to this build once i tested my favorite applications here is working. i love the new look and m looking forward to try the sense theme later. i love having 3 friends with HD2 and letting me play with their units :D Thanks Sir!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
copying the new android folder over the old one wont delete the data.img

april 11th isnt even out yet.

not sure what went wrong .

but yes... a backup of the data.img somewhere other then the android folder if you don't have sd-ext is a good idea during an update.

For Pekvocey

Fonts / dialer /too small ... its in first post, bit about using 240 folder

good luck
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
dude, I replied to you, thanks for missing out on that, dont complain nobody helps around here as some people spend considerable time of their day helping out others or finding fixes to share them with the community.

I dont know what you are doing, start Android with the Exceller bootloader from winmo 6.5, use my sigs wm ROM and Radio and the newest HSPL and you should be good to go.

Just try it, you dont lose anything and trust me you will never go back.

If that sound thing happens, and it does very seldomly, just reboot and tada, in less than 2 mins you are back on an awesome build on the best phone made to date! :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] daveyaz:
Thanks man..i really didn't notice someone did answer..it's a huge thread....

Well..i'll try this bootloader and repky...hope everything goes ok..

just tell me what did you mean with : "use my sigs wm rom...."

as i got Energy rom 15.Mar.2011 WWE version , Radio version 2.15.50.14 ..SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
[HD2 Android SD Development] Tubgirl:
Oops... I meant March 11 of course. And I always backup my whole SD card before upgrading :-) And just to clarify... what I lost was data traffic... nothing else.

Pull down menu

i noticed there is a minor flaw on the bottom of the pull down menu. is there a fix for this? its not really a big deal just sometimes looks annoying

running the 29th build. nice new boot animation! Runs better for me except im still getting random data dropouts. mostly happens when i use the browser. not so much when playing a game like Words with Friends. So for now im just using airplane mode to kick it back in

Is there a way to have data working while in a call? I notice that with these builds data cuts off where as a different build i used data worked while in a call. again, no big deal. Just curious.

Either way I run these builds as my main OS. Rarely use WinMo anymore

Keep up the great work! Good thing is I can backup and always go back to previous build if it acts strange on my phone!!

Thanx to all the developers for their hard work!
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
Sorry if that was already answered, but warren's new Kernel is not yet integrated / ready, is it?

I'm asking as I stayed at Feb 16 or so as newer releases hat AdHoc-Issues what I cannot live with and I was told to wait for new kernel.
[HD2 Android SD Development] xauzainhatvn:
1st Thanks very much for trying. [Trying this ROM and will report later]

I use ROM 20/3. And love it very much. But Still 2 Question:.

1. - I use defautl ANDROID Directory with 1Gb .IMG file. But when INTERNAL STORE ~500, and continue download GAMES from MARKET, it WARN that NOT ENOUGHT MEMORY to INSTALL ?

But check in SETTING that still free MEM ~600Mb ? 600MB use for RAM ? or NOT ACTIVE ?

2. And WIFI- for WPA/WPA2 Secure very ok. But WPA2 only, it found CONNECTED with ICON FULL but NO INTERNET.

Any body help me?

Thanks !
[HD2 Android SD Development] antonsb:
Yep, no data CONNECTION here either.

I can see it trying to connect (an H appears, up-down arrows appear and blink in tray), it properly detects that I am on Wind Mobile, has proper APN settings, but nothing. It can't connect.

It was the same on a build from 2 weeks ago. What's wrong?
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
you should be good with that ROM you are using, I did not know that you where on a custom ROM, some guys come here asking about problems with android and they did not even flash a custom rom...

I just made the best experience so far with the ROM in my sig, it is extremely light and really only serves me for 2 apps and for loading into Android. I really look forward having wm 6.5 on SD though, then I will put wp7 on nand and have android and wm 6.5 on sd... I love this phone :cool:
[HD2 Android SD Development] daveyaz:
Thanks man...i just installed that boot exceller, booted in Boxmax android...and guess what....There is audio, music, ringtones, can hear during phonecalls....it's working and i'm starting to love this andro thing....

I love this HD2 for years and now MORE.........WOOOOOWWWWWW

MAR 29 Feedback

Just very brief (I am on the same data.img for the last few builds):

- Since MAR26 there is a iptables issue, my Droidwall will no longer work

- one app I deleted several times keeps being there at startup, I deleted it from sd-ext as well... (since MAR26) :confused:

- sd card reads a lot faster, I feel it especially when loading the galery (and sdtools says so :D )

- no lockscreen issue

Requests:

- I always delete the camera click sound in system/media/ui, could you please delete that and the camcorder rec sound, I dont think anybody really needs them :)

- found the game data in sd-ext/data, now I can copy it back to Android/data and games will work, however I would prefer no moving or deleting from there upon reboot

ok, nothing else I can think of (-> meaning this build is awesome!)
[HD2 Android SD Development] deviljf:
Data Feedback

Data best so far by far !!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D I have a bad spot in my office and normally when i tried to download data it will drop the connection when in Edge mode (3G not working in the bad spot). Have updated a lot of stuff through Android Market and data syncing after installing the latest built which was never possible in this dead spot.

Great stuff !
[HD2 Android SD Development] Wildcopper:
I have a little problem... whenever I reboot this new version, it restarts in "plane mode".

Is that normal?

PS: once I remove plane mode, data works like a charm though.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikkeltysland:
Facebook pictures & Email

Ok, so everything runs perfectly, no probles what so ever after I formatted the SD card and installed everything once more. Only thing I dont get is why some contacts sync with facebook and some dont (yes, their name matches their facebookname as well..). Also some times it looks like it chooeses to gather pictures from Outlook (as I already had Outlook synced contactsw with pics from my WinMo part), but other contacts it gather pictures from facebook. How can I choose to make it ONLY get pictures from facebook? I am using full screen caller ID thingy.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
No, it normally starts up with whatever you had running when it was shut down.

That's good :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
bkup2sdext234

This is not working for me (29/03/11 build).

The update did not trigger the normal reboot, so it appears that my ext3 partition was not being recognised.

I looked in the sd-ext/apps folder and some appeared to be older than they should, so I have reformatted the ext3 partition and checked it was labelled ext and primary.

Nothing is being written to the partition. All I have is an empty lost+found folder. Shutdown is much too fast, so it appears that the backup isn't working or my partition is not being recognised.

Is anyone else having similar problems?

Can I force a backup in anyway to test this?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Wildcopper:
Do you have a clue of why this happens then?

It's not really deal breaking, but it's annoying.

I started from a clean installation btw, on a FAT32 SD without partition and a newly created data.img.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
No, but I'm guessing it's in the settings somewhere and there are quite a lot of them to try :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] venomhtchd2:
for those who are experiencing difficulties in data connection, please check first your apn settings, this build has the best data connection i ever tested...

Reboot phone menu

I have one question about Reboot menu: when i choose to reboot the phone after long pressing power button i choose reboot and then tree items menu appears. Is there any difference between these three items for sd build? Or could this submenu be removed be devs (cope probably)?
[HD2 Android SD Development] light_n_roses:
Hi !

I was tryng to follow the guide to install the sense theme but after the apk installation I can't select the theme on the "theme chooser" app ...any help ??
[HD2 Android SD Development] Wildcopper:
I agree. Also check if the phone isn't inadvertently in plane mode on startup, like mine.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Never use reboot, always use power off otherwise you risk corruption of the SD card. When people refer to reboot, they mean power off and restart.
[HD2 Android SD Development] paul211b:
this is not working well for me, my apn settings are the usual vodaphone contract internet but i have lost connection 3 times in 3 hours. this is without losing my signal. So far data is not working well at all for me, I have used all of the other builds and only used to lose my connection when I had no signal.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kaos120:
You can disable this menu yourself in settings -> cyanogenmod settings -> interface -> power prompt
[HD2 Android SD Development] radon222:
Same for me... but since it was my first time with a partitioned SD card, I thought I muffed up something... maybe not??

For now I just punted and pulled over my data.img from the 3/20 build.
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
2 partitions on SD?

I have a question, can I partition my SD card only with the fat32 and the swap partition and still benefit from some speed increase?

I am asking because I really do not need the backup feature as I use TB and never had any problems with it and personally think that it is really painless.

After all I keep my data.img as long as possible and if this fails I can easily be without my phone for the 15 mins it takes TB ro restore my apps...

Since I am on my 8GB SD I really need all the space I can get. :(

Is there anything else going on on the sd-ext partition besides the backup feature?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Wildcopper:
Just a little update about my "plane mode" issue.

After a few reboots (I've been installing stuff and configuring the whole OS to look and behave like I want), the issue is now gone, and the phone starts connected and no longer in plane mode.

Strange, but well... end good, all good :)

PS:

The data is ROCK stable here. I've installed launcher pro, "htc_ime" and Weather & Toggle Widget with the "H7C" skin so I get the features from Sense that I love back (clock+weather, Friends widget), and the build is almost perfect. I say "almost" because I want to see what the battery consumption will be over the next days.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
yes you can.

Only one limitation - swap partition HAS to be mkswapped (or formatted) before. It's not enough to 'create' swap partition, preparing it (mkswap) is now neccesary to recognise and use it.

It's a security feature - only proper swap partition will be used, no mistake with w7 or other partition.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Really? I always use the reboot option and never had an issue. I never heard of this situation either. Do you have a link for more info?

btw, I am using this new release with my march 14th data.img file. Will check over the next couple of days. Last night i accidentaly left bluetooth on and lost 30% charge overnight idling. I usually lose about 4%. But I rarely use bluetooth.

Also, I had changed the bootanimation in my previous build and when I updated I still got the old animation I had in it instead of the new one. Is there any way to make the bootanimation separate so I can add it in manually like the ones in that thread that was posted earlier?
[HD2 Android SD Development] j45p41:
Excellent build but still not AVRCP support

Hi guys, this is by far the best build I have used and I started back last year with the early cotulla builds.

ironic thing is that one of the main features I use is the control of my bluetooth headset. I see that it has been considered but has not been updated in the last three builds.

Even with this is mind this is such a good build that I don't mind taking the phone out of my pocket and pausing my audiobooks, but if you could tell me a way of fixing this then it would be very very very much appreciated.

Keep up the excellent work - your builds have given my old HW a new lease of life and I would not buy any other handset if given the choice today.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] pekvocey:
Is there anyone like me? trying MARKET but not work?

How to fix it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] icemaned:
me too

my market isn't working either
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
This is a quote from post 1 of Rafpigna's ROM

" I modified the whole android shutdown process to avoid any data corruption. Please always choose SHUTDOWN instead of REBOOT!!! In this way you wil never have data loss or corruption!!!! Also if in my instructions or somewhere you read "reboot your phone" always SHUTDOWN then power it up again! "
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
ralpigna's build is not the same as this build...... you can reboot or shutdown this build ... there is no problems doing either
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Thanks for the clarification, it was obviously something stuck in the back of my mind.

Is there an issue with bkup2sdext in this build or have I fubar'd my partition?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Kerya:
Just a thing that might not agree with this statement ;)

After running the 03/13 build version a few days, i had constant data drops and couldn't stay connected for more than a few minutes... even restarting the device wasn't solving it.

However, after a full shutdown i could get back a stable connection.

Since then, i've never restarted it without a full shutdown.

Any idea ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
Update to 29/03.... Date drop mostly fixed ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] JHimmelbauer:
please no - the G3 data drops are back again with build 03/29/11 :(

YAY BURGER THURSDAY!
[HD2 Android SD Development] iamlegend2:
Just updated the latest build from march 20 build.

Using the old data.img , all apps works fine just like before.

No glitch on lock screen, smooth like before on pull down menu, and i dont think i got any data drops :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] anap40:
Maybe Copenhagen can clarify, but everyone saying data is better or worse in this build needs to give it some time because the changelog doesn't say that anything was done to the data connection
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
just reboot.... the data wont get populated to the sd-ext until you shut down your device. make sure you are using the rootfs.img from the latest downloaded build files.

if you think uve fubard your partition just format it (the ext partition) and continue using the build like normal. after you have it up and running and reboot.... your data should appear on the sd-ext partition. if it doesnt we might have to look into why.. but... technically speaking... there shoulndt be a problem with the bkup2ext feature.

and again.... (cause it appeared that someone was disagreeing with me (not you btw) you can shutdown OR reboot this build with no consequenses either way.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
what changelog are you reading? cause i wrote it... and it most definetly says something about work being done on data ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
Well that's new to me. Burger Thursday. Had one yest loool.

Unfortunately, I don't think we have Twisted kilt here in Montreal. I think we have more of a " A la Berret" more frenchy pubs rather scotish or irish :P
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Fantastic build.

Just one request. Is there a way to include options of the SD Card reading speed to choose from at the boot?

Why am I asking? I have the best results with 1024 not 2048. Now beacuse it is built in, even if I change it with SD Card Speed Boost to 1024 the results are not what they were before.

Using the file creation method (99sdcardreadfix) doesn't work for me :eek:

and one more thing

The boot logo is american but only in 2/3 :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] radon222:
Like Uzi... I tried letting the 3/29 build make a data image first. None of my programs were re-populated from the ext3 partition...and the 5 min shut down never happened. At least not automatically.

I booted back to WinMo and used the Minitool Partition wizard to check the SD card. It shows the ext3 partition as having ~400MB used. So something is on there.

I'll try again tonight to let it do a fresh build and see what happens.
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
It never worked here either, although I remember somebody actually posting that he deleted his data.img and after reboot all his apps were there...

Hence my question, is there anything besides the backup function I lose when partitioning only with fat32 and linux-swap?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
make sure you are copying ALL the files in the new Android folder.

basically

if you are an partitioned sdcard user

and

if /sdcard/android/fix_permissions.sh exists

your device WILL shutdown after about 5 minutes. there is no question that this works or not. it works.

as for the missing stuff from the sd-ext.. not sure why you are getting this issue.... again... its working fine over here....

docent is it working for you?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jpl69:
Althought i have an ext4 partition, i don't want to use it. Is it possible ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
That'll be it, I didn't copy it because it didn't have a newer date.

My mistake. It's just like the data image - the contents will change, but Windows can't see that.

No... I used my existing Data image.
[HD2 Android SD Development] radon222:
OOOOOOHHH There's one of those just a few miles from my office too..... mmmm buuuurrrggeerrss :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] radon222:
Will do... I'm putting the build in a new folder not the default "Android" folder and launching with EBL. ie sdcard/AmCandroid329

Will a data.img file that is still resident in a previously existing sdcard/Android/ folder screw up the works?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
You will need to change the rel_path in your startup.txt to the new folder name.

Edit - don't do this - use Android folder - see my later post
[HD2 Android SD Development] radon222:
Yup... that one I know. I often keep one or two older builds on my sd card when trying a new release. I've only recently gone the partitioned route and am learning the tricks and treats there.
[HD2 Android SD Development] asmd6230:
Hi guys,

ive been following this thread from day one.

First off, kudos to the devs. This is some amazing piece of work.

I realise that all this is beta stuff, so im not here to cry that this or that doesn't work, just to add my 2c of testing. :)

i updated to the newest version by copying the contents of the new version of the android folder to the old version, after boot up, nothing was quite stable. screen wouldn't turn on several times by pressing the buttons. data was near non existent. and the phone got very warm and battery drain was excessive.

im figuring i must have done something wrong or maybe ive some apps int he data.img that doesn't play well with the newer build (?? is it even possible?), anyhow will format and clean install and report back.

Regards,

asmd.

*tmous hd2 with 3.14, radio 2.15
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
just about to put the new build on :) hoping it will be better than the 2603.

also can someone confirm if the new one 2903 has the overclocking as standard or do we still need to use the modified zImage from a few posts ago?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Well I've finally found the answer as to why bkup2sdext wasn't working. It's quite simple really. It won't work if you change the name of the Android folder. Most likely it is using a fixed path rather than the rel_path, or am I barking up the wrong tree again?

Anyway everything worked when I renamed the folder back to Android and reset the rel_path. It took a long time to reboot (as I had an empty ext3 partition) and it is now up and running with a full and fresh backup available. :) :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Straynart:
Strange, the Market seems to work for me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Yea this was mentioned already. Cope never directly answered the original poster IIRC. But it seems to be not a simple thing to make the android folder root, a variable so that we can change the folder names. I always did it except for the last build where i put it back to regular "Android". The reason I never had problems is because I never bother to partition my sd card.

But yea, that seems to be exactly the issue. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
likewise, same for me, works fine
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
The kernel hasn't been updated, so if you want overclocking don't overwrite your file.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Mhmm, found that out just a sec ago, no worries, I'll put the modified zImage back onto it.

EDIT: Also data seems to be superb on this one, even better than 2603, nice job
[HD2 Android SD Development] radon222:
Well guess what!!! My phone JUST finished make a brand new data.img with the newest build installed under a folder sdcard/AmCandroid329 and its popluated with all my programs :D. Now I'm going to see if it will do the 5 minute auto shut-down.

****Update - No auto shutdown after 5min. Noted for future use. New Builds go in the "Android" folder, older builds get relegated to Rel_path status.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Ouch, did you guys break the Wifi on 2903? I try to turn it on and all I get is, even after numerous restarts.....

Wifi

Turning on....

Wifi

Error

Gotta revert back to 2603 as I use wifi a lot.

anyone else?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Works a treat here...
[HD2 Android SD Development] radon222:
Try resetting your Router.... DMHIK :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
I would but its not the router, its the phone because the wifi doesn't even turn on.

EDIT: put all the original files back on from the 2903 build and it works..... the only file that was different was the fact I used the zImage posted earlier which allowed me to overclock. anyone, know if this would be causing the wifi to error?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kaos120:
My guess is your using the modified oc kernel. You need to put the matching wifi module back in. It was included in the. Rar file.

Edit: my guess was correct :-) this will fix your WiFi.
