Kinda odd: I updated to a new class 4 sandisk 32gb card which worked great at first, then I updated to the June 10 build and wifi kept showing error. I double, triple, and quadruple checked the zimage and modules but no luck. Today, I did a fresh install of ACA, new data.img and everything after formatting with the panasonic sd formatter but it still errors. I would say it's an sd problem but Crawlingcity's Ultimate Droid nand build (converted to sd with portadroid) build's wifi works fine. Maybe I'll try a different kernel. Any ideas?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
Cope - its still early days, but I feel like my wait/FC issues have noticeably reduced and general responsiveness is better by reducing the read ahead value to 128, quick switching between apps, opening new messages with the browser open in the background etc which were bringing the phone to it's knees are ticking over nicely. Had a couple of hiccups but it does seem a significant improvement.
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
I did not mean to discurage, but to point out that Cope did recomend a new data.img file, and that old ones may not work well. While it is easy to test with the old, and then replace if not working, it seemed that none of those pointing out that in fact the old data.img didn't work, had attempted to test out a new data.img file, to confirm if a problem existed on a fresh install.

I have intent to try this out myself when I get home from work, both with the old data.img and creating a new data.img, and will post my findings after trying both out. I just take issue when cope, himself recomends a new data.img, which he doesn't do alll that often, and then seeing people suprised the old data.img file doesn't work, without even attempting to see if a new data.img file fixes things. You don't need to reinstall all your apps to test it out. You can also backup your old data.img file and last working OS and revert very easily, but after several pages of simmilar posts, no one seemd to post results of using a new data.img, and if that cured the problems.

It is perfectly fine to confirm that cope's recomendation, is really more of a requirement, but it would be much more informative to tell us that while the old data.img file didn't work, a new one works perfectly well. Like you, I look here for guidance on what works and what doesn't, and while I had a feeling the old data.img would not work, confirmed by the first and second person with an issue, I had, as of the typing of my message, had not seen those same people confirming a new data.img worked fine. This would be a key bit of information, that would help other users decide on what they want to do
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Eagely awaiting your updates, as I am at work, and unable to test for another 3 hours or so, but noticed that your step 3, you untick all red items, do you do a full backup of all user apps + system data? I believe cope recomended only using backup all user apps. This is what I do, plus I will admit to grabbing the bluetooth pairings and account settings, and restoring them after restoring system apps. I am just not sure if all teh green ones are ok to restore...
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I did say that the previous default was 128. It's a bit like the 32bpp so called fix. When I tried it, it turned my HD2 into a turtle. Stick with the defaults and everything works fine.

Swyped from my aHD2oid
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
Did the test in reverse, instead of lowering read cache on slow card (4), copied everything as it was to the faster one (6) leaving the cache as it was at 2048.

So far, after 12 hours, almost no fc/waits, system definitely snappier - on slow card opening settings could take up to 15(!) seconds sometimes, now its almost instantenuous. Concluding, correlation between lags and buffer size, if confirmed, might affect only the slow cards.
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
I believe the green ones are User Apps and the red ones System Files
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
I must be loosing it, I thought there were White apps and data, red system, and green system/user settings.

I typically only do the white ones, and the two green as stated before (Bluetooth pairing and accounts) Although when I looked at the others (playlists, calendar entries, etc) I think for the most part they are probably fine, I Just remember Cope saying only to backup user apps (1st backup option on the list) and that seems to omit the red and green ones. Probably not an issue then, but I usually only do the user app batch, and call it a day.

I would check, but in preporation of upgrading today with a new data.img, I am running the backup batch at the moment (Force backup of all existing backups or some such thing like that) that I can't check...
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
wifi errors are caused by mismatched kernel to kernel modules.

there are 2 ways this can come about.

1. old data.img

2. user modified kernel w/o adding correct module files

so... if you are having wifi errors...... take the correct steps to rectify.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
gracias. a good proper report. thumbs up
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
afair TB has a legend in menu
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Backup is now complete, and thanks to your post, I have the following from the legend:

White = User App

Red = System App

Green = System service with useful data

So I think you are safe restoring white, but green and red may be a problem, but could be fine, in the abundance of caution, I only backup and restore the white ones (and the two aformentioned green ones which this time around, I will not restore)
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
I did not know that. It just that my installed apps were in green. Anyhow thx
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
You'll probably be ok with the green, but if you are having problems, next time, skip those too, and stick to the white ones only ;) In looking at the greens, I think many would be fine, but there is always the exception...
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
It ruined everything and now am out of time.

Will need to redo everything from scratch :mad:

[HD2 Android SD Development] soapbox23:
I started using the 6/10 build and everything worked ok, minus the flashing during the dancing android boot screen. This wasn't a dealbreaker but it was a little annoying but the thing that sucked was I was constantly getting 70mA batt drain. I reformatted the card and everything and it still happened. I believe I used an old data img and didn't want to spend time rebuilding a new one so decided to just roll back to 6/8.

Updated to 6/15...flashing still happened on boot screen and the reboots would happen using an old data img (i know, i know but i wanted to try it). Naturally, I formatted, re-installed, and used a new data img which worked perfectly...might have even been faster than ever. however, i rebooted the phone once, and when it came back up, it started the reboot cycles all over again. Seems to me the build is stable the first time a data img is created, then if another reboot is performed it has the same issues as using an old data img.

just thought i'd update with my findings. rolled back now to 6/8 and will stay until the next "front page" edit. great work overall on this rom! definitely my fav android rom
[HD2 Android SD Development] clarkg:
Updated...

...to 0615 (from 0610b). Same data.img (been using the same one since this thread started), same result I always get... no problems, everything works (except for ongoing stuff like VPN). No WIFI errors. No FCs. Straight down to 5mA standby power drain.

Cheers Guys.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JesusFreak316:
I know; I've triple checked them and even did a completely fresh build with new data.img, nothing modified including kernel and modules, and it still doesn't work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
Small update, still a couple of errors but generally better. Guess its a partial fix for slower cards, but the best solution is to buy a better card in the first place lol.

May need to upgrade mine after all, but definitely better than it was so thanks gents
[HD2 Android SD Development] general1977:
Aside from copes test, I'm currently running my own test, which for yesterday and today has been very successful for me.

Since I'm in "desperate need" for BT on at all times I was looking for a solution to get rid of the 60mA drain and finally gave the tytung_r10 kernel a chance in combination with ACA 1006. And what shall I say. BT is working satisfactory with my BT HFP handset in my car and with the builtin BT in my notebook. Connect and reconnect without problems. Pairings have been maintained from before. Battery drain with BT and 3G activated is about 8mA which in my oppinion is a good value since flight mode still gives me a drain of 5mA.

So far I have seen no major drawbacks with tytung_r10 kernel, aside from maybe a little longer lags in reconnecting lost data connections. I'll be testing this for some more days.

@warren

I have no idea how complicated and interwoven kernel-work is. However it might take you some steps further with BT if you had a look into the BT-part in tytungs kernel once you find the time.

That's why I keep a folder with a reliable older build and a backup of my working data image. If you have a problem you merely boot into that renamed folder. It takes about 5 minutes and you are good to go.

[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
.... continued

This time I restored only the 'whites'

Spent hours bringing back my widgets on Launcher Pro, adjusting settings and bringing it back to the previous look.

Got FCs on TouchPal Dialer - solved: uninstalled and reinstalled

Got FCs on SetCPU - solved: as above

Got FCs on WiFi Tether - partially solved: frozen

Got FC/Wait on Launcher Pro at the beginning.

Have been running the build for two hours. So far so good.

Tempted to see which 'greens' messed up the system previously :D

Tytung_r10 kernel

Hi Achim

Where did you get the the kernel and matching .ko files from?

Did you take the nand kernel and you had no problems?

Are you loading from MAGLDR?

BTW, please (anybody) PM me when you know how to install the nice apps som posts back...

How do we edit Echo file?

I have been having epic almost unmanageable FC/Waits for weeks. Just tried to edit echo file with ES but when tries to open as text file says too large?

I can only find ECHO by searching I can't see it in the file list. Be keen to see if this fixes my issues. I will know in a matter of minutes.

Cheers

[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
If you mean changing the read cache, the file to be edited is: \system\etc\init.d\05acainit - just make sure to grant all the permissions first, including exec. Once done, you need to restart and check if it worked by viewing contents of this file: /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb - the number inside should match the figure entered in the script.

Or for an ad hoc test just set and check with this app: SD Speed Increase.

Problems after restarting phone

Hi!

I have problems with some of my applications (LCD Density Changer for example). When I restart my phone I need to uninstall and then reinstall some of my applications to get them to work again.

I have started from a new data.img and it seems to affect most new AmeriCanAndroid builds.

Have anyone seen this? How can it be solved?
[HD2 Android SD Development] bomba6:
Sorry for noob question...

I have the latest version (061011) and I cant find World Clock, Stopwatch and Timer like I have on my galaxyS (2.3.3).

I think its cyanogenmod's "fault"...

Am I wrong?

What is the solution for that?

Thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
ummm..., let me think, what to do, what to do...

perhaps search for replacements on the market?

[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Ok. Started again from scratch:

Reformat + Swap Partition only

Restore with TB - the 'whites' only

So far so good ..... not quite.

1. My SIM is not seen again.

I checked with another build (RAFdroid) SIM is seen !!!

It is probably the build issue.

2. FC/Wait shows from time to time and overall speed is slooow ... till I optimized memory with Android Booster. BOOM. The speed is back, no FC/Wait for another two hours of use and BUM FC/Wait is back. Android Booster - Optimize - Good again

Does it mean that memory's behaviour has something to do with the FC/Wait problems?

Now am done with testing/retesting/installing/formatting/partitioning/copying.

Hope this info helps and will lead to some kind of a fix in the future

PS.

SIM was seen after the second restart
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
What does Android Booster do to optimise memory? I'm thinking that it's just a task killer, which doesn't achieve a great deal. It maybe that that one of your apps is a real memory hog or doesn't play well with the Android memory management and killing it is solving the problem until that app runs again. You could find out what is causing this by killing selectively.
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
Ok well the only issue I'm having with the 6-10 update is that I noticed today that I cannot view videos that I record or that sent to me. Any ideas of why this is happening??
[HD2 Android SD Development] general1977:
First, let me say that using tytungs kernel voids your "warranty" on ACA! ;) So please don't use tytungs kernel and ask the ACA-team for advice when errors occur.

I'm booting via WinMo, not MAGLDR.

I have downloaded tytung_r10 from here. I took the Version from May 03.

From that ZIP:

copy boot\zImage to the android folder (don't use the included initrd.gz!)

copy the whole system folder to android\root (to end up with android\root\system\...)

the folder META-INF is not needed

done

I just left all setup information in system\etc\init.d and copied that. I believe some things (check for ppp or rmnet, ...) might be done twice on boot. You could probably merge some of the original files with the new files but for me, it works as is.

After the third day of use I still have no major problems using this combination. BT, GPS, Camera, Camcorder, 2G, 3G, HSCSD all work flawlessly. Sometimes I have problems getting a connection via Wifi. The device simply doesn't find any wireless nets. Normally switching the device into standby and waking it up again while Wifi is activated solves this problem. Might have to do with not using the included initrd.gz. I don't know. I haven't made any phonecalls yet but I tried to call my own telephone at home to test BT in my car and that worked.

I hope warren can find the relevant parts concerning bluetooth and fix his kernel so I can revert back to ACA as a whole maintained packet. Meanwhile I'm happy with ACA "powered" by tytung. :)

Achim
[HD2 Android SD Development] Straynart:
Hey ! I encounter the same problem with the same software : LCD Density Changer.

But it totally crash my phone function [no incoming call enable] because it delete all the APN & disable the possibility to recreate them.

Then I deleted the data.img & relaunch ACA.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
Getting sort of tired of this, in all honesty.

When I implemented BT

EXACTLY

like Tytung's kernel, it created stability issues for some devices while providing stability for others. Our implementation is exactly the same, it's just that it uses the high speed bcm serial driver instead.
[HD2 Android SD Development] general1977:
OK. I understand this. I also understand that right now there are other kernel-related issues that are more important. But maybe somewhen there will be time when most other stuff is running properly to readdress this issue.

Sorry to say, but:

None of your kernels that implemented the 60mA fix worked for me concerning BT. Tytungs kernel does "out of the box". So there has to be some difference. Maybe cyanogen changed something in the meanwhile. Maybe the high speed bcm serial driver is faulty. I don't know. It might be time to reimplement the fix in your kernel and test again. I offered this to you twice but got no response. Without testing I dont't see any chance to get it fixed. Resigning is no option to me.

Regards

Achim

PS: I told you before I'm not going to get off your back. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
the first time i implemented it, it was exactly as tytung has it. i switched to a slight variation of it because for some people using greater variety of headsets, it caused issue having that way. you can confirm this in other threads using tytungs kernel IF YOU READ. our way, may have an occasional spike, but WORKS consistent for all.

okay we are in business.

new build is ready to be deployed.

new kernel also.

a complete fresh install is recommended for those that have any sort of issues.

(users that did this for the 15th should be okay fingers crossed)

I gave up on migrating my old data.img / sd-ext/ backed up data.

I just finished doing a complete fresh install (I removed all my /sd-ext/stuff

but renamed the /sd-ext/app folder to /sd-ext/app.old to get at my apps after the update.

just going to do a bit more testing and if all goes well ill upload it for testing

[HD2 Android SD Development] adell_:
I'm using JUN 5 build. For me it is better than JUN 8 and JUN 10. I had the music problem (crackly noise) with the later builds.
[HD2 Android SD Development] general1977:
Please don't take this as an offense. I'm trying to help since in my eyes BT is not near as perfect as it could/should be.

I read almost every post in this thread. I really don't have the time to read every other thread of builds that use tytungs kernel. For me, tytung_r10 in combination with ACA works. As you can imagine, I'm not able to tell whether it works with all other BT equipment, because I simply only own 2 BT capable devices which wor flawlessly with tytung_r10.

None of your kernels are really usable for me with BT. The kernels with the 60mA drain fix don't connect with my carkit and the kernels without the 60mA fix burn way too much battery because I have to keep BT on at all times. I'm not sure what you mean with "occasional spike". With your kernel I have a constant drain of 61mA in standby.

Maybe the difference is not in the bluetooth part but in some other part of the kernel (standby handling?).

Ok Im gonna give this a try but hows battery consumption??
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Decided to do something else.

After optimising with Android Booster (ie. killing all the tasks that were running in the background) I ran every single app, I have installed, one by one.

Ended up with three FC/Wait 's

TouchPal Dialer

Last Call Widget

Cope's HTC IME

I uninstalled all three of them using Titanium Backup and installed them again using .apks (the first two downloaded from The Market, the third one taken from ACA build: Android\Android Apps)

I do not know whether they were the problem (they were restored originally from TB backup) but ever since (12 hours ago) I did the above I have no FC/Waits, the system is super speedy again and I am happy again.

....

For sheer curiosity will go back to June 10 build and use my old, backed-up data.img and do the same thing just to see if it helps.

Be back soon ...
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Have you tried a different brand of bt device?
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
It is working !!!!!

It means those three apps were corrupting the system. At least in my case

Case Solved ..... I hope

[EDIT]

It IS working flawlessly !!!!!

So the problem was the compatibility of some backed-up apps with the new system. My old good data.img is back to business
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
BT drain, tytung_r10 kernel

I thought he stated that he only had the two, though he didn't mention what brands they are afaik.

I am also on tytung now, everything vg so far, although the drain is slightly higher in standby I'd say due to the 245 MHz CPU min (warrens new kernel had 125 MHz which was a very nice feature!), but at the same time I am running BT all the time.

No lags, all works very well so far, I also dont have the occasional wifi drops other report. Have to test BT connectivity still though, will do it with my Jabra headset later. But 7mA with BT on is very cool, even with "our" ACA kernel and the BT fix I never went below 14mA with BT on. Also, the newer kernels used to suddenly drain 70mA, toggling bt on and off helped, but if I didnt notice it for some time a lot of charge was lost.

Will report back as soon as I have more infos.

And just btw, no complaining, only reporting and testing here, aight?! ;)
