uzi?

uzi?

That you? :eek:

Where did all that "report, report and report" love go?

Looks like you got absorbed in the system :D

Please let the people report whatever they want, its a board, nobody won't get a raise if its filled with negative comments. And I really can't understand why its always being taken that seriously, so its not perfect yet, where is the problem?

I really can't understand this attitude around here, also threatening to hold back updates because people are reporting problems that everybody knew they would since one did a roll back and reintroduced some bugs, come on cope... rather close the board for the time being if you can't take it.

But at the same time, I also can't really understand working ones ass off if there is another contribution around that is so close to being perfect (read my and countless other posts if you don't get what I mean). Rather take that, make some tweaks, give the source credit and done (unless of course its under a license or some kind of coder codec, in that case pardon my ignorance).

I just hate it when resources (in this case time, and I am sure rather much of it) go to waste over problems that have been solved before. But at the end of the day its not my time and really actually none of my business.

Again, again and again, don't get me wrong, I am really grateful for what you guys are doing, I sometimes just don't get the "why"...

Don't need overclocking but it's nice to know it's there ;-) Ran a few benchmarks at 998/1190 and got :

CF Bench

- 4160/1469/2545 at 1190mhz

- 4198/1455/2552 at 998mhz

oopss...

DeviceMark :

- 1311 and ranks 985/171 at 1190Mhz

- 1219 and ranks 1077/263 at 998Mhz

Nice! Clearly can't compete with an HD2 running at 1536Mhz (?!) but not sure why it's so far from some HD2s running at 1190Mhz (score : 1698)

Quadrant :

- 1576 at 1190Mhz

- 1393 at 998Mhz

As expected.

Will now check the battery drain...
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
are those the overall scores? seem awfully low,

absolutely not bragging here, esp. that have rather burdened system, with no special perf. tweaks and on painfully slow card, yet mine 0625 scored completely different - the average of 5 runs was 2431.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I think you have me wrong. I was trying to help. It is no use reverting to a previous build if you encounter a problem. Only by testing the new build (as you and I both do) can there be progress. In this case, it is likely that the user has a problem with his old data.img and does not want to test this by trying with a new one. If he continues this way, the problem won't go away and will still be there when he tries to update to the next release.

On a different point and because of the current work being done on the kernel (0623 = 0512kernel and 0625=0608kernel), it is not helpful to report issues which were addressed by advancements in the kernel since those dates. Cope and Warren are fully aware of the problems and are working flat out to bring the kernel back up to date minus the original bugs. Think of 0625 as an interim release.

You appear to be suggesting that Warren simply adopts Tytung's kernel and builds upon it. That would not be good for overall development. It is far better to have a healthy competition between Warren, Tytung and Rafpigna which is great for all HD2 owners.
[HD2 Android SD Development] webvan:
@p107r0 - Sorry, I had mixed up CF Bench and Quadrant, duh...fixed. So my results are actually a tad better than yours ;-) No impact of the overclocking though.

Incomplete numeric keypad in unlock screen

I flashed AmeriCan Android buld 05032011 and upto this morning I had no problems, until the following...

I configured a corporate e-mail account which requires an additional pincode (besides the e-mail address and password) to unlock the smartphone. However, when I swipe the unlock symbol, an incomplete numeric pad is presented, which is as follows:

| 1 | 2 |

| 4 | 5 |

| 7 | 8 |

| OK | 0 |

So I'm missing the 3, 6 and 9 which I need for my pincode.

I've tried the following:

- Pinch --> No effect, numeric pad is not zoomed

- Rotate device ---> No effect, numeric pad is in portrait form

Heeeelllpppp!!!!

How can I access my phone????
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
incomplete unlock pad

wow, never heard that before?

I would try to play around with different dip settings in the build prop, turn off your phone, plug the sd into a card reader and copy the 240 build prop folder content to your Android folder, then plug it back in your phone and try again...

If that doesnt work, open the build.prop file and search for "240", edit that to maybe 202, try again...

Hello guys,

I tried to install a software from outside the market, it said I have to copy some files into /system/lib........however I found that my lib folder is 0K free....but I still have lots of space on the sd card......How Can I increase the space of this folder ? Please help me to fix this........

Thanks so much !!
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
If you use a file explorer that has su, you will discover all sorts of things in your system/lib folder.

To do this with ES File Explorer go to settings>settings> Root options

Another way to add files to the system/lib folder is to boot into Winmo or use a card reader and copy the files to Android\root\system\lib\ then reboot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hobo2009:
OK since I'm a bit new around here some questions to clarify things for me:

- which dip settings are we talking about?

- what is the 240 build prop(erty) folder?

- what does 202 symbolize?
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
Read the instructons to have 240 dip (= resolution, the higher the number the bigger the symbols, fonts etc) in the first post (copy content of 240buildprop folder to Android folder).

202 is just another setting which I use. ACA normally uses 167, so if you want to change that you have to get active yourself by doing the above. 240 dip is standard and 202 is best :D

Thanks mate......I will try the ES file Explorer as you said......however I am using a explorer called Root Explorer......is it similar to the one you recommend ?

Also, I tried to view the files from card reader or winmo, I don't see any root folder in side android folder......Do I miss sth or because this "AmeriCanAndroid" didn't show files like that......Or It is because I didn't do the partition stuff on sd card ?

Sorry for many questions as today is the first time for me to play Android on HD2....Thanks a lot !!

You need to create the folders root\system\lib in the Android folder on your SD card and add the required files there.

Whilst some of it is now outdated, you will learn a lot by reading the FAQ highlighted in post #1

I d'ont know what i have the right yo write here, as we may not not write about known bugs for this quite 'old' kernel ? (but if there is a new version, maybe bugs mustn't be there if Team corrected them, or Team want to know if what they have changed is functionnal ?...)

Tell me if i'm wrong to post issues..

First major issue : third reboot today, since this morning, and ROM installed since the beginning of its publication (Cf signature for Data.img age). I think i won"t work with this, as it's not very stable (if someone need a log, don't hesitate to tell me how to set/get it ). I prefer the build before this one ;-( (fast and more stable)

My other issue : data is active and under cover, without moving my hands nor my body (ok, i breath...), and when i launch an app requiring internet, the G/3G/H icon disappear, and i need some time to get it back.

I know i can try with a new data.img...

Does someone use WiFi on both a PC and the HD2 at the same time, and the two are a feet away? If yes did you do any special settings on the PC? Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Of course you're not wrong to post issues. However, it is pointless to post issues that were fixed by updates to the kernel as it is currently being reworked to fix those issues once more. At worst we would be rewriting the thread from May 12.

I am using 0625 and find it to be smooth and stable, but I do consider it to be an interim release as there is ongoing work on the kernel and it hasn't been added to post#1.
[HD2 Android SD Development] muhkuh1234:
Same Problem here. Went to 25/06 and my lockscreen is totally unrepsonsive towards touch in 14 out of 15 cases. Thought it was a problem with the new build and rolled back to XX/05 but the problem is there as well now. I never experienced this before...

Any tips or solutions anyone?

Thanks so much!

Edit: I used an old data.img, so that would be my first thing to do... any other ideas would be appreciated!

Edit2: Could this be a hardware issue?
[HD2 Android SD Development] evo1rs:
I've been tinkering with this a bit and you definitely need to use the sdcard/root/system/lib/... method to get files into the system directory.

Using rootexplorer, if you delete anything from /system or /vendor it just decreases the 'used' memory but doesn't increase 'free' from 0k. I was messing with chainfires 3d drivers which wouldn't install as no space in /system.

[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Sometimes this can be a DNS issue, it may help to assign static IP's to all your devices, in your router settings. I always do this when I get a new device that connects to my router, that way I know each as a unique address, and it makes it easier to set up FTP's, VNC Sessions, and other things that require one pc to connect to another. I also find that it prevents issues where for some reason the DNS tries to assign the same IP to two devices. Give it a try, nothing to loose. If you know how to access your WiFi Router, yuo should be able to do this from teh DNS section, or read the help files on assigning IP's. Usually you are able to copy existing connections and assign them a static IP based on what they have been assigned at the moment. Hope this helps
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
Afaik system folder actually resides within system.ext2 file which is kind of virtual partition, with free space - in latest build - of 1.68MB.

I was able to install chainfire drivers at the expense of uninstalling few unused system apps and removing 12MB of bootanimation.zip (use logcat live instead anyway).
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I knew that system.ext2 was pretty full, but I thought some space had been gained by trimming the bootanimation - it appears that this is not the case as system.ext2 has also been trimmed.

You do realise that you've just told Evo that you have ditched his bootanim in favour of chainfire's drivers ;)

Is there anyway of increasing the file size as there is with data.img?

Perhaps we should ask Cope for a bit of free space to play with?
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
toporesize resizes the system.ext2 file ok, had no time to test if it works, but think it will, more disturbing is the message on found/corrected filesystem errors I received (and receive each time when resizing data.img), anyway will try to run resized system in few minutes

EDIT: It works. System.ext2 can be resized with toporesize

I know, not nice of me, but I toy too much with system apps, sometimes making it inoperable, then the live logcat proves priceless, as it lets me know where I went the one app too far...
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
I always remove the android tips app, and the included version of office[I have google docs, and Docs to go, so I am covered] (Done using titanium) This gives me a few more MB's to play with. I still think it is safe to remove on eof the Car Home icons (The older one) But I haven't done it in a while, but never noticed a problem. I have 4.29MB free after removing just those two items... I am also using the new version of Handcent SMS which is supposed to now be a full replacement for Messsenger. I Believe it can now also be safely removed, but I haven't had the guts to try... If you do that, you will gain a bit more space. Let me know if that helps

[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
My battery drain is so much better using a new data image after a fresh format from winmob...

Useless data: Reporting problems due to you doing something you were told not to do in the first place. "I used my old data.img and I have problem x,y,z." That is a waste of thread space and tends to make people overlook real issues.

So do not be afraid to report issues. But follow the frakking directions first and you will have no problems with reporting. I am not going to drop my phone in water and declare that the new build I put on after that is causing my phone to reboot or not boot up. I mean cmon people, common sense.

nygmam, is that going to happen officially? I never used handcent but if its anything like goSMS then I'm curious.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
You may have just hit on a solution for those having problems using an old data.img

Toporesize is effectively doing what Diskcheck does for Windows partitions.

It would be good if someone who has a known corrupt data.img could run it through toporesize and see if it works...
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Looks like it does. On infamous June kernels I reported many FC/W's being 'fixed' after defrag. But I did not report that they were gone for good (well, some time) after resizing the data.img. Of course, due to aforementioned kernels I still managed to get some but the improvement was noticeable.

Hope it helps.

Thanks mate....Got the idea now, THanks so much. But is the action of "creating root folder" under SDCARD\ANDROID have to be done before first time android booting ?? As now everytime I created the root folder ......it will become ".root" after reboot, and those files I put inside did not move to phone automactically.......Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Don't create them out of a running Android. Use winmo or a cardreader.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
It looks like the system folder (system.ext2) is full as we have been discussing here and that is why your files aren't being added. Several solutions have been suggested, including the deletion of system apps you don't need and increasing the size of system.ext2.

Under normal circumstances the files only have to be copied once. That is why the system renames the folder, to stop it being applied on every reboot.

My system folder shows a size of 194MB and only 1.76MB free.
[HD2 Android SD Development] evo1rs:
root is renamed to .root on shutdown to prevent files being re-written every boot.

That's why it needs to be done OUT of android.

It should copy into /system without deleting any files. It worked for me with bma150_usr.bin without removing anything.

Ok got my first real problem: Battery Drain. At first all is fine. Idle drain is at 3-7 mah. But now it was at 57-74 mah all the time. Killed all running apps with task killer but that did not help. Only a reboot solves it. (i had this same issue in the 0608 build).
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
You put that folder in the root of your sd card or in a folder named root in your Android folder?

Have you rebooted your phone? Some players need a fresh start to create a list of music files.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bobdylan1:
Was in the root of the sd card, should it be in the Android folder instead?

EDIT: tried moving the music folder but makes no difference. Also I am putting apk's in the AndroidApps folder and they are just disappearing or becoming corrupted :-(

That's what it says in the release notes for the newest version, but again, I haven't tested it, although very tempted.

Cope, I notied the new kernal (15) was about half the size of the one that came with the ROM (Zimage at least) so I was hesetant to try it, but I will give it a shot now (will in a few minutes) over lunch, and see how it works. Thanks for the hard work on this

Actually, while you can do it this way, you can also connect your phone to your PC while the phone is in windows mobile, and make your changes that way. That's what I do to put new builds on my phone. The phone/PC via USB problem is an Android problem, not a winmo problem.
