I almost starved to death due to lack of ACA's burgers but then I took the plunge I installed NAND Android on my HD2. Boy, that's unbelievable how fast everything is... The phone reacts to my input nearly even before I press anything! :eek:

Anyway, it was a really nice experience discovering Android with ACA build. But it's time for me to move on.

Regards,

alessio

Which one did you install?
[HD2 Android SD Development] UltimateKO:
I just loaded this build into a freshly formated SD card, the last build worked fine and I have updated a few times from my first aca android build back in april.

the phone has been sitting on the grey american android screen now since 3:30, its 4:17 now.

how much longer should I let the phone sit?
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
Pull the battery and reboot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] UltimateKO:
done at 4:30 since that made it a full hour from when I first loaded the new aca build, and then the phone still sits on the grey screen.

*edit*

holy crap, your close to me! Im in New Port Richey

what a small world
[HD2 Android SD Development] scoobykanye:
Replace the sdmagldr files
[HD2 Android SD Development] UltimateKO:
replace them with what? this is a complete fresh install, all files are new.
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
Lmao.....yea it is a small word, I work in Odessa, crazy, ur basically right down the road.

Only thing I can think of is maybe you got a bad download. Download the file again and try again. I never had any problems and if I did I usually just pulled the battery. Clean install or old data??
[HD2 Android SD Development] UltimateKO:
completely clean, even formated the sd card. Im loading the old build to make sure that everything is good. I will try the new build again afterwards.

I work in pinellas park, the commute fron npr to clearwater is fun to say the least.
[HD2 Android SD Development] AntoCorsa:
When i open the market, i can't download a lot of applications (ex. even Facebook official app) because it says my device isn't compatible with it. What's the problem? I'm using italian language, but i switched to english too, to try it. Still the same problem.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Screen density of the ACA build is set to 167 not the 240 smartphones usually use.

The new market will think your device is a tablet and not allow you to download certain apps.

Change the screen density to 240 for downlads or use the old market.
[HD2 Android SD Development] AntoCorsa:
How can i use the old market?
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Go to settings->applications->all->market and deinstall updates.

But that won't last long. The new market will come back.

I think there is an app in the Android market that will help you to keep the old market, preventing the autoupdate function from working. Don't know the name though but I've read about it in this thread. Either try to find it in the market or search the forum.
[HD2 Android SD Development] trav_44:
no update

Is it true that there will not be an AmericanDroid build out with the 7.1 update of the kernel for HTC HD2?

or was this the last build for HD2
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Run Titanium Backup and freeze market updater.

Now, settings-applications-manage-market- uninstall updates

Voi-la

You can also try Hacked Old Market to see absolutely all apps no matter your resolution (instructions how to install it inside the archive)
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
You need the pro version of titanium to freeze apps. There are cheaper ways to keep the market from updating, if you only need the pro version for this.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Yep, I forgot about this part. I guess the second solution is the one :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Where do you get such rumours?

The last we herad of the devs is, that they are still working on this build but real life is a priority right now, so updates won't come as fast as they did in the past.

What is it with you guys and updates? If there were major changes, I'd get it, but tell me one thing that would noticably change for the better with the new kernel.

The HD2 is getting old. Like with all computerhardware, updates will become less and less frequent until they stop completely. The programmers will turn to new devices, so will the development. Gingerbread is almost at the end of development itself. There won't be much more happening. Icecream sandwich is the next big step.
[HD2 Android SD Development] reijkelhof:
Although I do not know the precise post in this thread, I think warren said that while kernel.org was down he made more progress on the kernel than in the 6 months before.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Warren has been working on a port of the Desire kernel and I think your quote relates to that.
[HD2 Android SD Development] reijkelhof:
"This code is based on previously established source code from myself and other kernel developers. It could be seen as a Frankenstein which will eventually contain the best of the community."

Nice!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Animefan:
Oh no.. no no no no! Frankenstein scared the crap out of me. :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] WizardBGR:
At last - I can post here too! :)

First, let me say that I've been ACA user since almost a year and I have almost no complains about nothing (battery drain, behavior, etc.). Everything works like a charm for me. BUT! But I miss updates, I miss new 2.3.7, I miss fine tuning and experimenting that ACA builds were and are famous with :) So, guys, I realize that you probably are working hard on the new build or, as was suggested before, doing something personal - college, family or friends related - but could you at least give us some details, spoilers or whatever: when can we expect the next build, will it be 2.3.7 or go straight to ICS, would be some major updates and fixes, etc. IMHO it will require not so hard work, but will put us on some ease. So to speak, 'one little step for a man, one huge leap...' yeah, you know the rest :)

So I will be here, hitting F5 every couple of minutes, hoping that either Cope or Warren will spare some time to spoil us :)

Thanks again, guys!
[HD2 Android SD Development] AntoCorsa:
Another probably stupid question, but sorry since i'm a rookie. Anyway, i'm using this rom now, and i'm using a cool wallpaper. Is there a way to use a simple black one when i open the drawer? (when i see all the icons of the apps, i mean). So that i can read the names of the apps better?
[HD2 Android SD Development] alessio_81:
TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.6.9

and it has been running really, really smoothly. In addition to that, I have current consumption as low as 3-4 mA during standby. Really amazing...
[HD2 Android SD Development] UltimateKO:
so the old build runs perfectly on my HD2, but 08/28/11 freezes on the grey aca screen.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dtokez:
I'm noticing some strange behaviour with my sd card.

When I updated I backed up my photos etc, when I restore them to my card on running the newest build they don't show up, and the process of doing so deletes any new ones.

I also just had the same problem with music?

Anyone got any ideas, its really annoying, just lost a few photos that I didn't want too :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] prattjo:
You have to load a new wallpaper. I have attached one which is black, if you like it you can pm me and I'll send you the file
[HD2 Android SD Development] UltimateKO:
so,

re-downloaded 082811, placed it into the sd card just like the old android version.

new data.img, changed the start up for lcd240 and 2048 size data.img

its been sitting on the grey aca screen since 10:30, its 11:13 now.

Im going to pull the battery and try to restart, Im not sure why my aca build from July will work but this new one will not.

any help that I can get will be appriciated.

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

still on the grey aca screen, but I see now that the led is blinking green.
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
No idea, I had no problem with it whatsoever. I actually stoppedusing ACA for time being because of data.drops, it was driving me nuts. I running a NAND version now flawlessly with 0 problems.
[HD2 Android SD Development] UltimateKO:
thats why I was upgrading to this version, the data drops drive me insane!

what nand are you using?
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
Energy Sense 3.0 Desire Hd. No data drops, stable, fast, good battery life. Only problem I had was that sense would reload after using a few different apps, so I ran v6 supercharger script and haven't has that issue since.
[HD2 Android SD Development] reijkelhof:
so it IS possible. I'll look into that, thank you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] scoobykanye:
Theres a setting in ADW that makes the app drawer background black...
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
What's possible?? The no data drops??
[HD2 Android SD Development] hkmate:
Android 4.0

Will u make AmeriCanAndroid HD2 4.0, if version has released???

I think many of us are looking forward to see it happens, Many thanks for alll!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] doniGforce:
today android market updated itself to 3.0.x and now after 10sec use or something like that it force closes. driving me nuts because I can't download and update apps now. anyone with the same problem
[HD2 Android SD Development] zubinsaigal:
Fix for Android Market after update

Go to Settings > Language and Keyboard > Select Language

Here, select any Language, English (US) or English (UK) or any other and go back. Market will work without force close after that. It's strange but doing that fixed it for me!
[HD2 Android SD Development] reijkelhof:
yes, I meant so it is possible to have android on the HD2 without data drops?

I thought ALL android versions for the HD2 had data drops.
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
I thought so too until i switched roms
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
There are also ACA users that don't have data drops.

The devs of ACA didn't build in a data drop bug.

They do the best they can to make this as stable as possible but they only have their own devices to check if what they do works. I suppose the current setup works for them.

So unless someone who still experiences data drops can point them in the right direction, there's not much they can do. And no, complaining about drops doesn't help. You have to do more than that.

All phones are different. Small things in the hardware, the radio version you use, the winmo build, your SD card, the apps you have installed, your location and your carrier.

What works for the devs and for other users doesn't have to work for you. Maybe the devs of other builds have a setup more similar to yours, then the ACA devs have.

Just have a look at this:

Two users with totally different experiences. Both using the most recent ACA build. Those posts came up one right after the other.

If you look at the NAND threads you won't find as many posts about data drops as you can find in the SD build threads. I guess that's because some of the factors that can lead to problems are rooted out, like the wnimo ROM used or the SD card.

With SD builds it's easy, fast and save to try different builds. You don't have to set them up completely to try them out.

Just try different builds and find the one that works best for you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
Was there a exact reasoning on ur rant you just went on? I wasn't complaining in any way shape or form. I know there are plenty people with no data drops. I simply said I thought it was all android custom roms that did it until I tried a few different roms. ACA was the first Rom I ever used on my hd2 and would love to be able to use it again because of the stability it offered but with that being said the data drops were driving me insane. No need to make a 10 min reading about something that's really nothing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Yes, I'm one of the many of them that don't experience this 'problem', and my speeds are just fine. I rarely use WinMo, but have my own personal reasons for keeping it installed. My HD2 lives in it's ACA SD Android environment 99% of the time and I've never been tempted to install any Android NAND version, simply because THIS build works so well for me.

shamez23, I just wanted to concur with everything you've mentioned in the above post. It was well said. You've been on a roll lately (or so it seems). :) -Rob
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Nice, really.

This wasn't meant as a rant, I was trying to help. Explaining what I think is the reason for some people having data drops and others being fine.

You don't have to read my posts if they are too long for you.

---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 AM ----------

Thanks. I appreaciate it.

The shortest answer to 99% of the questions asked would be:"Use forum search".

But you get atttacked if you do that.

If you try to answer with an explanation and the post gets too long, you get attacked.

Pretty hard to satisfy people around here.
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
Lol.....I could care the less either way. I only read ur post cause it was directed at me and no other reason. Just didn't see the point in such a long post.
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Well then don't try to. Imo, you should change your thinking... I mean; Are you here, really just to satisfy other people... and by so doing, gain their thanks and gratitude & admiration? - I don't think so! - (It was a rhetorical question).

I think (maybe) you're here to enjoy the place. Learn a few things. Have some fun with it, and try to help others if and when you can. However other folks interpret information and react, is their problem... not yours! :) If I were to say, don't try to please others... just please yourself. I don't mean in a selfish or self-centered way. You're (obviously) a very helpful fellow.

Relax, chill-out, just enjoy the place. We do what we can. Don't sweat the small stuff - Perfect example is this post just above mine - (you know what I mean).
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
I used your post to reply.

That doesn't mean it was solely pointet at you. It was meant for all people with data drop problems that wonder what the reason might be that they have them and what they can do about it.

The reason it was long is that I'm not a native English speaker.

Trying to explain technology related things in a foreign language isn't easy for me. I have to take detours instead of cuting straight to the point.

Why did I explain? Because I didn't want to come over as a petulant child by just saying : "Not everyone using ACA has data drops"

Why did I get involved at all? Because this is a forum. Everyone is entitled to contribute.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ptrics:
+1... Great retoric..
[HD2 Android SD Development] ukdutypaid:
Guys, guys.. We're forgetting the other factor.. "IT" is actually magic, there isn't any logic sometimes.

For my part I've found that if I switch the phone to Aircraft mode in WinMo (some theory somewhere about improving battery in Android. No, I'm not bringing that one up again!) then I do experience more data drops in Android. It was just an experiment I was trying, as in there are all sorts of factors that effect things. So, I've switched back to having the phone back on in WimMo now.

Worth a fiddle for you for a couple of days, or so...

I still love the dual boot. BT (keyboard/stereo headphones) works better in Winmo and full Office makes it a genuine note taker. Finally realising I'm missing a front cam now though for video conferencing when I'm out and about.. Mmmm.. Galaxy Note anybody...Calm, calm.. not for this board, I know..

back under me rock, I go.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Commander Bubble:
2 questions

is it possible to add applications to the share link list of applications that pops up if you, for example, in a browser, hold(long?)-click a link and choose share link from the 'Complete action using' popup menu?

also, can you disable the market from updating to the new version? cause mine likes to upgrade in the background, and for some reason i can't download anything in it because it says that everything (even stuff i already have installed) is not compatible with my device. so whenever i want to use it i have to uninstall the updates :S

cheers in advance :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] killa_kota327:
I agree with this Guy I hope you get a bad ass phone. If anyone deserves one you do man.

[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
hoping that:

additionally added bluetooth packet handling = 100% AVRCP.

so a heads up folks....copenhagen uncovered some code i hadn't encountered before, which seems to expand the bluetooth capabilities a good deal. seems that if it all works, not only should buttons work but track info should also be passed on to the devices. I took a good hour and a half implementing the code tonight....so i sure hope it compiles and works.

we already had voice commands unofficially working as of earlier today. so even if the buttons still don't work, u'll be able to at least issue standard voice commands from your deck's in the next release.

I also want to let everyone know:

THANK YOU for the donation support. Through your efforts, we were able to ensure Copenhagen was taken care of, and didn't have to spend personal funds to pick up his new HD2, even with the previous order mishap. You guys, the community, rock! Please keep being generous!!!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Luke15153:
Does Bluetooth cause/enforce the data problems?

Usually I connect the phone via BT with the handsfree system of my car.

Yesterday evening and today I didnt enable BT and I dont have any of the problems above.

Can anybody confirm this?
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
On TMoUS or primarily 3g areas.... *#*#4636#*#*. set to wcdma preferred. this should eliminate unneeded drops from 3G to Edge, and further help stop the very rare data drop.

Also....bt doesn't affect that so much, I even encounter this and I primarily haven't used my bt due to problems with the bt driver provider for my carpc.

Also....people....it's supposed to switch from 3G to H in areas that support HSPDA+. It's basically saying that your data connection is scaling UP for best performance. If it didn't do this in an area capable of H, I'd be sad. :-P
[HD2 Android SD Development] Luke15153:
OK, will set to WCDMA preferred and give a feedback ...
[HD2 Android SD Development] gerardroid:
youre right:o.......

mistakes wll all make them!!,but i think and everyone here with me...you are spending your!! time(many hours)trying to make this a good functional build...its a process and they take time, and wll all appreciate that youre doing this....

The battery is fully charged and the notification LED don´t turns green. No one else with this problems?
[HD2 Android SD Development] boober78:
Hello everybody. I have an issue with the screen wake up. I use this rom, the latest version. Everytime I end a conversation the screen is turning off. That is normal. But the problem is, I cannot wake it up afterwards. The hardkeys backlight is turning on for just a moment and off. The only solution is taking out battery and booting Android once again. I know that changing the build would might be helpful but this ROM is really fantastic and I would like to avoid changing it. Could anyone help with this? Thanks.

BTW, My LCD is a little broken, but ambient light sensor works perfectly.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Thank you for the info Cope. I trust one day this should be able to work and will leave everything in your safe hands for now ;)

[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Warren please as you mess with the BT :D please see whether its possible to properly implement Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP). Apparently PBAP somewhat works but instead of showing the caller Id in the Bt headset it shows only the phone number of the caller and not the name.... I have tested this with Nokia BH-903 ( http://mea.nokia.com/find-products-...ies/headsets/bluetooth-stereo-headsets/bh-903 ) Thx bro :p
[HD2 Android SD Development] Dunc001:
WTF...

Just booted across to Android (on 26.2 build), have been having the no wake up issue (which either resolves itself if I leave the phone for a few minutes and try wake up again, press hardkeys repeatedly like a maniac or sometimes just plugging in charge lead works - annoying but no bigee) but this time when I unlocked for the first time after boot I got a warning window up saying:

SYSTEM UIDs INCONSISTENT

UIDs on the system are inconsistent. You need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.

I'm feeling lucky (this last bit is the button at the bottom of the popup window).

I have pressed on the button and phone is running OK. Just wondered what this was, and do I need to do anything. I have my SD card partitioned as per Cope's tut, and did an SD format a couple of builds back. I'm waiting for the next build release and then I was going to use the Panasonic formatter and repartition again anyway so may not be any need for a reply, but just thought you might be interested...

Keyboard with arrows

I use "Keyboard with Ctrl key" from the market, it has arrows. It is a bit small but usable.
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
keybord cursor

Regarding the keyboard thing, I set the HTC keyboard to use the vol keys as cursor, under Settings>User Interface>Volume Keys

That does the trick for me as I always hold the phone in landscape while writing with the hw buttons on the right and left/right is all I really need...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Dunc001:
Hi Docent, basically as I said. Boot to Android, wait for SD Mount icon to disappear from taskbar, wait a bit longer, try to wake up screen - nothing happens, press loads of hardkeys, eventually screen comes on after a minute or so. Slide to unlock and as soon as home screen appears I get a popup message appear with exactly the text in it that I originally posted. I clicked on the 'I'm feeling lucky' button, the window closed and the phone seemed to run OK. I have tried rebooting again and this time kept tapping the screen to keep it awake whilst waiting for mount, etc and I didn't get the warning again on unlock.

you have one of two options:-

i. use the old market, you can look here . You will need to freeze the market from updating because it auto-updates everytime you open it AND also, you will need to change your phone language to English (AU) or (UK)...that seems to have worked for many, including me

or

ii. use the new market, look here
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
You need Titanium pro for that. 5$ well spend, if you also use it for backups but a lot of money just to just to keep the market from updating.

"App quarantine" is a free app. Install it and go to settings. Tell it to also show you System apps. Quarantine the market updater.

I haven't tried it but it should work. Would be nice if someone could make a test an give some feedback.
