Run the following from Terminal Emulator, or whatever app you use, to uninstall DSPManager:

1) rm -f /system/app/DSPManager.apk

2) pm uninstall com.bel.android.dspmanager

USB tethering works - when you plug it into your laptop, pull down the notification bar and click on the "USB Connected" option - click on the "Turn on USB storage" button and then click the "OK" button to confirm.

I am assuming you mean all of the home pages... Go into Settings/ADW Settings/System Preferences/Home Orientation - change it from Auot/sensor to Portrait or Landscape. Now all home pages will be in either portrait (or landscape) but all apps will respond as normal.

I have data traffic disabled in the settings, but my HD2 is using still 3g . I have no data traffic included. So it is much expensive for me the last day.

Screen wake up

Hi

Fantastic build.

I have a problem of screen wake up after pressing the power button.

The screen is closing but if I press the button again, I only see a black screen instead of the lock screen. Only if I wait about two minutes and press the power button it comes ok.

Anyone is facing the same issue or is it only me?

Thanks for your answer, i'm using radio 2.15.50.14

I don't understand why this radio run with WinMo, Froyo but not with this Rom.

If i must do a radio upgrade, please tell me, think i'm an Orange French user.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Vampir1c:
I've been having the exact problems anytime I try using a new build, I think it may have something to do with the ext3 partition which is why I want to upgrade to ext4 which might solve the problem. I end up fixing this by backing up all my stuff with titanium and then formatting my ext3 partition and load up the build let it make the data img, and then restore with titanium. are you also on ext3 partition?
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Problems with missing data end other builds observed things

OK - recreated all steps - create partitions, format ext4, mkswap, fresh install, restoring data from titanium, rebooting couple dozen times.

I AM UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THIS ERROR

However - copying data to /sd-ext with every start is a nuissace for me - it takes ages with every boot dalvik-cache refresh.

File /system/etc/shutdown.d/01shutdown has no execute attribute - so I don't know if it's used or not

File /system/etc/shutdown.d/01shutdown tries to rsync /data to /sd-ext WIHOUT checking if /sd-ext is mounted on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 - probably lots of rsync read only filesystem errors, but never checked it more.

If sd-ext is ext4 filesystem - e2fsck is too old to check /ext4 properly
[HD2 Android SD Development] fredbred:
i am not sure if i have re-formatted the swap partition, is it necessary?

I was using the previous build and it seemed okay.

Then I have re-formatted the card and uploaded this build. I have copied the whole android directory to the fat32 area - dir Android. The first start take some while and than I always have reset the device immediately and start with the second boot. I set up a WIFI connection (WPA2) and then my google mail. Then a list of programs pops up to be installed.

Am I doing anything wrong? I will try to format and reinstall again.

Guys many thanks for your help and keep up the development, otherwise we all would be still using pens with winmo 5.1 ;)

Nevermind I am still having this issue, anyone else having the wakeup problem, when you press the key to wake the phone up the screen stays black and then if you try it 2 minutes later then the lock screen comes up?

the new build works again fast and stable - except the camera (very green with flash) and from time to time interrupts the data connection (WIFI and G3)

[HD2 Android SD Development] zarathustrax:
I noticed this too. I don't have a data plan and use prepay, so I turned off data and have wifi on... but I noticed when I turn on the phone from standby, before the wifi turns on, my phone is trying to use data. Luckily I don't have a plan that allows it to be used unless I prepay for it, so it's not costing me anything... but I think it's something that needs to be looked into. It's the only build I ever tried that did this... is there something else turning the data on even when you have it shut off in settings?
[HD2 Android SD Development] JHimmelbauer:
data connection drops also with RR 2.15
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
I had notifications about International Roaming twice. About 30 minutes each time.

It showed up in my notification drop down. International Roaming is turned off, I'm on 2g only and I'm at home not in a foreign country.

I was a little shocked when that happened and naturally I checked my connections and possible costs with my provider. There was no data connection, both times.

So at least for me it was merely a false notification.

Have you checked if a data connection really was established?
[HD2 Android SD Development] nutmegy:
Unsure if it is related...but for some reason my home button and call keys have stopped working.

they work fine in wp7.

[HD2 Android SD Development] anap40:
Build works pretty good overall, but data seems pretty unstable compared to the last build I was using (I can't remember the name of it, but it was from december). I used it full time today and had about 4-5 data drops that I had to remedy by switching to airplane mode. I noticed it restart the data connection on it own about 4 times, it worked twice, but didn't work the other two times.

I keep hearing that PPP is fully functioning, but it apparently is not. Does anyone know how to switch to RMNET?
[HD2 Android SD Development] JHimmelbauer:
maybe only on my installation - Settings/Display crash's at start (Process com.android.settings)
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
Hmmm. Wish I could recreate most of these issues, but I can't. The only one I can is ppp drop...though I disagree on stability. Before, the til wrapper was flat out lying about connection when data would actually be gone, whereas now it doesn't and tries to reconnect. Reconnect is much more reliable than previous builds....through testing. Every build I put through extensive data testing. This one already has sustained my internet radio between 5 tower transitions, and its recovered connection a couple times. Yes there is the rare time it doesn't reconnect but that's what we are trying to get the timings right for.

Thanks for the feedback

I am not sure but I searched and found MDJs Android 2.3 GB AOSP ROM for HTC HD2 (4 versions of the same ROM) on lot of sites and all referring to XDA, I know his posts here are no longer open now.

I have already replied to "copenhagen" that my intention was not to insult him and my question was in confusion, I was checking his own ROM.

Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] JHimmelbauer:
it may be that all outgoing ping requests (from tools) are blocked?
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Yes.

It's a good idea do copy all the content of your sd card to a folder on your computer as a backup. SD cards are not indestructible.

You should do that at least with every update you make. If the intervals between those updates are long, also do those backups in between.

It's also a good idea to format your card after such a backup. No need for defrag tools if you do that and you erase possible inconsistencies with one sweep.

Do the Titanium backup before you backup your sd cards content to your PC.

You normaly don't really need it, since you can reuse your old data.img. But in case that doesn't work, you can create a new image and restore your stuff with Titanium. The folder with the necessary files is in the sd backup on your PC.

Just copy it back over.

To make sure everything is OK and save time, only copy back the stuff you want on your sd, after you tested the new build.

A lot of people might call that way of doing things paranoid. They just copy the new folder over the old one. The new folder doesn't contain a data.img, so you don't overwrite it by copying the new folder over the old one. Update done in a couple of minutes. I prefer the secure way described above. You have to decide for yourself how you do it.

The builds after may 17th seem to give a lot of people problems.

So if your old build is OK for you, I would refrain from updating until the issue is solved.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzziah0:
I saw that about the newer builds, and was thinking of looking at something from before the problems started, or waiting to see if something gets out that fixes these issues.

SOD issue

I am really grateful that I can have my HD2 to run this excellent ACA Android build. I first started to install ACA build since 3/29 build and updated to 4/27 build (due to data drop issue) with the existing data.img file. I love every build you guys did. However, starting on my 3rd update from 4/27 to 5/29, I started to experience SOD, (screen is black and the hardware buttons lit on). It happens occasionally.

Therefore, I tried to update again to the latest 6/5 build (BTW, great build with no data drop and speedy performance :rolleyes:) and I also re-formatted my 16gb class 2 Sandisk SD card and kept the old data.img. It ran well during the first day of use. However, I experienced 2 times SOD when I needed to restart the system twice. The 3rd restart was fine without SOD. Just want to share my experience to everyone~ :p

My device info:

TMOUS

Radio: 2.08.50.08_2

Thanks~
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Your radio version is rather outdated.

I'm not saying that has anything to do with the problems you had, but there have been several updates to the radio and I'm pretty sure the guys at htc do not produce those only to keep us entertained.

[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
I remember seeing quite good thread on battery drain somwhere here (xda/android/HD2), yet cannot find it. Anyway you could try:

1. battery calibration (there's even an app for this on market)

2. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897896

3. enable GPS location until it catches the fix, and then turn it off
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheNT:
CMOOOOON :)

send me that build please :)

had one more BSOD 2 hours ago... refreshing this topic like crazy :p
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Battery calibration shouldn't have any effect on the drain. Those are two different things.

Calibration will help you, if your battery indicator is showing wrong values, like telling you the battery is half empty although it is almost full. Consequently shutting your phone down prematurely, because it thinks the battery is empty, although it is not and therefore cutting down the time you can use your phone.

The drain, apps like "current widget" show you, is what power your phone is using up right now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
For those of you with SOD, have you tried teh following:

Settings | Applications | Development | Stay Awake - Turn on

Then the next time you get a SOD, plug in the phone, and hit the red button, wait 30 seconds, then hit the red button again, (Try again but Red then Green of Red then Red doesn't work)

Does this bring the screen back on for you??
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
For me, I have consistently experienced the 60 Ma season at the beginning of a new build, but restarting a few times results in 4-7 Ma drain.
[HD2 Android SD Development] newbietruly:
I haven't had BSOD in a while but I'd have occasional FC/Wait message. By defragmenting as suggested, I felt the phone was more responsive than before. The lag often observed before is gone. It's something I notice right away. Anyway, you guys can get the program here as well. (http://www.mydefrag.com/Manual-DownloadAndInstall.html)

EDIT:

I felt the need to edit my post. It wasn't implied that I experience significant lag. It's actually very very VERY minor. Just saying after defragmentation, it notice it was more responsive for me. The build is solid as of the moment, but of course can't wait to try out Warren's new kernel. My battery life is also great (no spikes). I always do battery calibration and reboot my phone a few times to let it settle in.

Drain before SOD

Same here, had constant high drain before SOD.

hope things are good with the new kernel...
[HD2 Android SD Development] anap40:
Cope and Warren: I appreciate all the updates we get from you guys and that you are always improving your builds.

However, with the latest build having so many issues would you consider releasing new builds as BETA and then have previous builds as "Stable"
[HD2 Android SD Development] joescian:
Guys

I think I may have an answer to the BSOD issue in the 05 June release. If you uncheck the "disable Lockscreen" and get your lockscreen back then it may solve the problem. I have been 48 hrs 2 overnights without the BSOD issue since I unchecked this. Certainly worth a try. I also uninstalled the Honeycomb theme and its been rock solid with no BSOD.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I mention in the post that it was checked in error, while I was preparing the screen shots. It has been unchecked and I have had only 3 SODs to date, 2 with 0529 an 1 with 0605. People are making wild guesses as to the cause and even the logs provided by Geenyous don't seem to show anything specific. Let's hope that Warren has the answer and it can be fixed in the next build or kernel release.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Read the disclaimer at the top of post#1.

Every build is a beta as they are based on the nightlies.

These builds are at the bleeding edge of development and nobody is forcing you to update everyday. If there is something in a new build that you can't live with then go back to your previous build or wait and read what others are finding before you update.

For me the last build is the best to date. The only problem for me was one SOD.

I don't see the "so many issues" you are complaining about.
[HD2 Android SD Development] anap40:
Well I am still on 5/29, but myself and others have really bad lags and lots of FC/wait messages on the most recent builds, plus the SODs.

I realize they are all beta, thats why I put "stable" in quotes, sometimes the nightly builds bring cyanogenmod updates but more problems. I have seen some other builds (maybe in the NAND section) that do the beta and stable release thing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
So you're complaining about the latest build having "so many issues" and yet you are not using it. The build you are using has already been improved twice.
[HD2 Android SD Development] zyclone:
i

Can say, this build is very stable,fast and battery drain is perfect.

Al you have to do is a clean install. No backup, no old data.img.

I have two HTC with the same configuration.

The one with an older data.img have sod. The other with clean install only at the second boot. And from now on it's work very well.

This release is the best I've ever seen.

I don't now what the two Buergermeister will cook us now.

I heart from a very fast Burger. Hope it's not fast food. :-)

Firstly, thanks to the team and all the contributors for such an incredible ROM!

I just switched (finally) from w6.5 and was a little hesitant, especially with which rom to go for, but WOW, what a difference.

People complaining about lags and a few crashes, I think need to go back to the stock 6.5 that shipped with their HD2 to get some perspective.

I'm using 052111, which has been great but found the wifi tether, that i just realised now has been fixed in later versions....

So my question is: which (if any) version has wifi tether working and is stable at the moment?

fin.

first post updated. :)

we do know there's been some teeny little bugs goin on over the last little while.. lets take a rough guess and say since about may 21-ish. We've been making MAJOR updates to the kernel.. warren esp has been putting in the hours working on it. Last night he made some major strides. We tested a new kernel over the course of last night and today. This evening, warren made some final touch ups to that kernel and the end result is included in the build.

at the moment we are testing ANOTHER updated kernel he just finished that should technically prolong device lifetime between charges, so look for that in the next update.. but no word on that will be dont let that stop you from tonights update.. esp if your on a build done between may 21st and now. :)

enjoy!

Updated to r0607

All I can say is Wow!

Did an update to 0607 from 0605.... just copied over Android directory... thus retaining my 2GB data.img. After I rebooted it 3 times==>: Running smooth as silk! 8mA from sleep with data.img LOADED with apps/games.

I never had SOD with 0605 and so far none here either. No "waits" or "F/Cs" either.

My setup: Single Partition on an 8GB Patriot Class 4. ADW Launcher EX. Lockscreen style: Rotary revamped.... and I use a program called "Screen Off and Lock" that allows me to suspend my phone by tapping on an icon instead of the hard key red button.

Speedier build (r607)...

merci and, of course, enjoying the few minutes, so far, and will be enjoying this r607 build 'til the next update. 8-)

initial report:

* smoother boot animation (no lags noticed; the cm7 animation though seems to lag).

* speed is now picking up, getting 1719, using data.img from r517 seems to have gone down, now slower than Nexus One 2.2+ (from 1400+ on r605 to 1300+ on r607 using quadrant standard-full benchmark); will make more tests, maybe with a fresh data.img.

* tablet tweaks still there. 8-)

* LED issue (when charging) seems to be resolved.

... using increased (from 1gb to 1.5gb using chrysocome's dd app) data.img from r517 (storage settings, however, do not show the increase; still 1gb), radio 2.15.50.14, stock rom ...

will be posting more if and when issues crop up.

good night for now... zzzzzzzz.

Thanks for the reply Warren, I will try again with you latest kernel :)

Had 5-8 mA drain earlier, seeing this ~60 mA only from the last 3-4 days, hence reporting. I have been following all the threads related to battery drain since Feb when I first started using ACA :) Thanks for your reply...

ACA Lady :) Thanks for the reply...

I thought this was going to work, but then it was inconsistent..., with one reboot I am getting <10 mA and if i reboot again it is ~60 mA. I am trying more cycles. As I mentioned, I am seeing the ~60 mA only from the last 3-4 days...

My first impression was that maybe it was related to bluetooth, but I have ruled it out....
