Fresh installed again

Hi now my phone is under testing after formatting card again & waiting the network arrows to stuck or not.:confused: Will fully test tommorow

Secondly how can I disable the keypad & dialpad keys vibration?

Ken
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
That vibration is called 'Haptic' feedback. Search in the menus, you'll find it. I'm no longer using the build or I'd point you to it... Also, with these SD card android builds, I see no reason to ever do a factory reset, in either OS (unless it's for obvious -lack of- performance reasons).

Seems like development is slowly dying for our phone. I got an HTC One S today. Holding on to my HD2 for nostalgic reasons. Catch you guys on the flip side.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ofuroinu:
Hi Bro, thanks for the reply

What version are you using now on HD?

If use go dialer when we dial the number which was dialed previously the other numbers will appear automatically in dial pad after pressing 1 to 2 digits.

Since now after fresh installed I have not download go dialer so when I am dialing the phone numbers example my home number which I always dial, need to press each number again instead the memory of dial pad bring out the numbers like normally all other phones do.

Does it mean I need to use GO Dial because this build doesn't have or I am missing out something ?

Moving on

Thanks everyone who devotes their time on the HD2 Android development. Over the last year, my HD2 became my new device from WinMo to Android. Today, I switched to HTC ONE X and continue my loyalty to Android. :)

HD2 crashes everytime I use VIBER or VONAGE or TANGO

Hello everyone...

This rom is great... the HD2 is really stable. It is only if you install Viber or Vonage or Tango (all of which are VOIP software), that the HD2 crashes all the time....

I have searched the website for a prossible fix, but failed finding something useful. That's said, I am sure one at least has faced this problem before.... CAN ANY ONE HELP?:):):):D
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
After 10 mos. using ACA I needed a change, but I leave it with good memories. It's rock solid and stable. If you're new with it, you might d/l, free from the market, 'GoLauncher Ex', IMO it's much better, more flexible and full-featured than the built-in ADW (lite) launcher. Also suggest 'Launcher Switcher' to easily change between them (if it suits you)... Eventually I ended-up using only GoLauncher. Go Dialer is something you don't need to have, but you should take it also. As long as you don't check the default box (between the stock & Go dialer) you can choose on the fly which one to use. It has some nice features. Up to you. Also reco Titanium b/u, as a must have (pro version).
[HD2 Android SD Development] Weo:
I can't find the post right now but I had the internet problem too. I came across a post that showed how to change to GSM only (or something like that). I am in the USA and use TMobile. The directions from the post were something like "dial *#*#4646#*#* and change the network to GSM".

DO NOT TRY THIS WITHOUT FINDING THE POST AS I MIGHT HAVE REMEMBERED IT WRONG.

This might not work for others, but it worked for me. Unfortunately I only tested it for a few days because I get excess battery drain when the phone is sleeping if I use Bluetooth at all (if I turn BT off the drain is still there; if I don't use the BT at all from boot I don't have the issue)... and I use my BT headset all the time... went back to stock WM6.5 and keeping fingers crossed for TMobile to get Samsung Galaxy S3. ;)

Love the AmeriCanDroid version but need my phone to last all day without a recharge with BT enabled.

HD2 crashes everytime I use VIBER or VONAGE or TANGO

I need to say that I found this post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16016409&postcount=5967), but it did not really help much... perhaps someone could kindly explain it further for a beginner like me :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] Weo:
OK, I did a little digging in my phone. Again, I am in the USA and using T-Mobile, so if you are under a different country or provider I don't know if this works.

First off, I fix permissions and power off/on whenever bugs pop up.

Second, I use the dialer included with AmeriCanDroid and dial *#*#4636#*#*

...the link above shows # before *, but it is * before # as written in this post.

Third I choose the GSM auto under phone info (not "only", sorry about that).

Some post I read here suggested that the GSM auto just played nice with the TMobile HTC setup. Again, I can't find the post.

The only testing I did was casual web surfing and listening to slacker radio while driving through different areas. It was only for a few days, but I didn't notice any loss in data signal during that time. I do notice an issue with Slacker stopping its stream every once in awhile, but I experience that on the stock WP6.5 Slacker too.

Be aware, I only used it this way for a few days and did not compare the data usage. Currently, Tmobile is listing my data usage as unavailable to view on their billing page, so I can't check to compare if anything goofy is going on. So far my bill is the same.

How do i get the same resolution in other roms? i love the face everything is so small! i want to do this in the SD build of NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA-SD V2.0 if anyone can help
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Go to the /system folder and edit the build.prop file. Find dpi and change from 240 to 160.

I use es file explorer and its file editor to do it. Just give it root access and mount system r/w
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Don't you mean from 167 to 240? (Also), If the change doesn't take effect on reboot... you may have to edit the startup.txt file > "lcd_density=240"

240 is standard phone resolution, and 160 would be for Tablets (and how the Google market distinguishes between them)... If you find 240 too large for your liking, you can (experiment) substitute with a number like 200, or 220 or... etc.

Edit: ...or maybe I'm confused, as I'm not certain if you're disliking it small, (wanting it larger) or the opposite - either way, the process to change is the same.
[HD2 Android SD Development] XeX_DuBwoofer_x:
thanks guys will give it a go in a min just struggling to get MC3 working first lol if you know anything bout it? will give thanks to both of you

EDIT: MC3 = Modern Combat 3
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
I have always used 160, as long as you first log into google play with it set to 240, changing it to 160 doesn't seem to cause any issues. it is only when you set to 160, before running play for the first time, you have a problem. I also believe you can set the dpi in the startup.txt file, when using the SD buid, but I went NAND a long time ago, and forgot about the startup.txt tweak. to be honest, if you are still on winmo 6.5, I would strongly recomend you going the cLK NAND route, it is very simple, faster and just a better way to go. Although if you are using a non-US HD2, you will want to figure out how to use an apps2SD script, or something to allow you to move the app storage to your SD card. All the info you need is in the nand thread, linked in my sig...
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
You can see from my sig what I'm using (and for my own personal reasons), as a long-time user of WinMo, I'm not about to give it up. Although I do spend 99% + of my time with android. When you get a bit older you'll appreciate 240 dpi on a phone screen, though my tablet is set to 160, and is perfectly fine. Thanks for the good advice though... maybe one of these days I will run a nand android build. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] ribou:
I'm like you, Robe. I keep WinMo for the GPS program igo Primo 2.0 (with Sbertaud13's skin) which has no equivalent on Android.

Missing apps in new market

Hi guys!

I know this topic has been covered before but I have had no luck with the solutions I found so far so I am starting to think that I missed something... :(

How can it be that some apps don't appear in the new market anymore? For example I can't find any of the good shooters in there anymore! Nova, MC, BIA and so on (all from Gameloft!). I think the problem might be that the device identifies as HD2 to the new market but I am not sure!

The things I have tried are: clearing market data, using MarketEnabler, restarting a dozen times, setting DPI to 240... I have still not tried to change registry (need to know if it works and what I need to change if it does) or reverting back to old market again.

Any advice? The problems I have seen people dealing with so far have all been problems with downloading specific apps due to no compatibility but MY problem is that I can't even find the apps that I want to buy! :S

Impossible to change WiFi MAC Address.

It has been impossible for me to change my WiFi MAC Address :-(, and I need to change it for the same as said in this thread: routers at job only accept my hardware original WiFi MAC (well, I do have 2 HTC HD2 devices, too).

I have tested lots of things:

- Command line changes, like "ip link set eth0 address" or "ifconfig eth0 hw". They do the change, but when disabling and reenabling WiFi, the MAC address does not stay.

- The change at "startup.txt" consisting of "set cmdline "wifi.mac=00:12:23:34:45:56". It makes no effect.

- Editing "/proc/calibration" where the MAC is stored (impossible to change, you know).

- Programs like "Set MAC Address" at Market. No effect.

This is my "startup.txt":

set mtype 2524
set ramaddr 0x11800000
set ramsize 0x1e400000
set initrd_offset 0x00a00000
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "rel_path=Android nand_boot=0 lcd_density=167 gps_zone=es data_size=1024 bt.mac=00:11:22:33:44:55 wifi.mac=00:12:23:34:45:56"

MAR0812 <----last update

does anybody know is [MAR0812] the last release? will there be any more updates? or we just move on to ICS??

thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Use what works. ACA is great! If you find something you like more - use that. Gingerbread is still viable, reliable & fast.

Mar 8, 2012 was the latest update. Is it the last? Who knows.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Zippy1970:
I just tried another ROM (HyperDroid) and while it was very fast and stable after a fresh install, it got slow and unstable pretty fast - after installing only a few apps.

But one thing I immediately noticed was that it didn't have the problems that causes me to stray away from ACA every now and then.

First of all the data drops. I did not experience a single datadrop with HyperDroid and internet speeds were much higher than with ACA.

Also, whenever I put ACA in standby (by pressing the power button), I need to wait at least 15 seconds before trying to wake up the phone again. If I press the powerbutton within those 15 seconds, the backlight comes on and the keys light up, but nothing appears on the screen. This is incredibly annoying. Apparently this is a known problem with ACA but again HyperDroid didn't have this problem.

So what makes these two problems so special they can't be fixed in ACA?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kanishkapd:
hi

i have used aca for quite a while but never experienced a data drop or the problem with the lockscreen. also i have tried the hyerdroid. what i like about the hyperdroid is the drop down menu which is a bit cooler than the one in the aca.:)

and you have to use any rom for couple of days before you decide on the stability. for me both aca and hyperdroid have been very stable and fast. and almost the same. what matters to me is when and who would do the next upgrade. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
With a utility like SetCPU or something similar, you might try using a more responsive Governor; like 'Interactive', and setting the minimum scaling speed to not less than 384.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Zippy1970:
I have not tried that yet. Will do.

I did try this before and although it helps somewhat, it also decreases the already poor battery life.

But that still leaves the incredible annoying data drops. Perhaps I will revisit Hyperdroid and see if I can find out what is causing the slow down after I have installed all apps. Without the slow down it would be an almost perfect ROM.
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
Not sure if that's what you are looking for, but there's a combo of settings (sth called "tablet tweaks" or similar in CM settings) which let's you:

1. bring status bar to the bottom of the screen

2. put icons for the chosen soft buttons there (menu, back, home, find)
[HD2 Android SD Development] bbsnick:
Thanks for the interesting but not what I need.

I need the bar at the top and was just looking something like this:

http://img.podnova.com/screenshots_pandroid/555/555627_7.jpg

but the launcher is not like the photo, there is no bottom bar.
[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
Have you seen this ONE
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
That's an ics (Android 4.X) launcher. I'm no expert, but I don't think you'll get soft buttons with a gingerbread build. The HD2 buttons don't (always) have to wear-out. Don't use undue force actuating them.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kanishkapd:
have you tried the "buttonsavior" ? download it free from the market.

it gives you the option to place soft keys anywhere you want. top, bottom, left or right. and quite good actually.
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Good point! I'd forgotten about that.

yes... this is the best for HD2.

but these keys, not supported with the way of ICS. Only Left or Right, over the apps...

i will try it, looks quite interesting.

Thank you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kanishkapd:
hi

as i remember buttonsavior has the option to have soft keys top or bottom as well, but it will be over the other apps as you mentioned. but you can have it in the invisible mode where keys become visible only when you touch the small arrow button.

ICS roms are not still stable or as fast as GB. but the newer builds come pretty close. if you are interested in trying i m sure RobE could tell you exactly where to look. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] bbsnick:
And I, I had the same opinion until I saw some pictures with the 2.3 had the soft keys. Perhaps an earlier version of "ICS Launcher" to support it. If you give in google "ICS Launcher" will see those photos. Ι installed "ICS Launcher" from market, all ok but the soft keys do not exist..

Thank you.

It's a bit early to deal with the 4, ι do not have the time these days.

Unfortunately, button savior, not support except left or right side :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] kanishkapd:
i definitely remember being able to have the keys top or bottom in buttonsavior.:o..if not i m hallucinating...:)

please have a careful look at the buttonsavior menu.
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
my HD2 is dead for some time now, but I definitely remember that ACA/CM had a built-in option of having on-screen softkeys (to spare the hard buttons),

[HD2 Android SD Development] kanishkapd:
yes..ACA has built in softkeys. (CM7)..but he needs the status bar on top and soft keys on bottom if i m not mistaken. which is not possible.
[HD2 Android SD Development] HeadMajor:
no, not hallucinating.... you can have button savior put the buttons across the bottom, but it won't have the effect that bbsnick is looking for, though it's close.

in settings "Sidebar Orientation", you can have it at top, or bottom, or vertical (sides)

plus if you choose "Auto Hide" > Never; and also unselect "hide on click" then the buttons remain until you close it with (x)

they do overlay whats on the screen though, so it isn't exactly like the ICS buttons. you'd have to keep bringing them up and closing again.

(I myself don't like the ICS buttons anyway because they take up real estate. I much more like buttonsavior to autohide and get out of the way until I need it.)

but, nevertheless, it is possible to tweak buttonsavior to have the buttons across the bottom all the time

I use both the tablet tweaks and button savior

tablet tweaks for use most of the time with minimal screen real estate loss, but button savior for when full screen apps push the notification bar off the screen
[HD2 Android SD Development] bbsnick:
Take a while but I did and discovered the option for the bottom.

you're right and is also a good choice but look at the video below to understand what I was looking, thanks.

Eventually you were right ... You have no illusions! I can have the buttons at the bottom of the screen with button savior.

I will use this for the moment and will keep looking.Thank you for your assistance.

Here is a video that contains exactly what I mean.

Go to the 5:20, which is the "ics launcher" and see

the softkeys at the bottom

Advise Good ICS/CM9 Sd Rom

Hi everyone.

My HD2 has been on semi retirement for most of the year since I acquired a Galaxy Note. But recently I installed a WP7 Tango rom and I have been playing with the retired general a bit. I still have ACA in my Sd. I recall reading a post by Cope many months back indicating that he would commence work on a CM9 rom. I was hoping that maybe the rom was posted in a new thread but my search for it proved me wrong :)

I am thus posting here to request for info that would lead me to the best ICS/CM9 Sd rom available at the moment. I know which rom to use is matter of personal choice but a pointer to one with less bugs and all the functionalities intact would be a good starting point. This should be in dual boot with WP7 via magldr.... My bad that I didnt keep up with Hd2 Andoid rom development as the Galaxy Note has been a monkey on my back like a demanding mistress. But now the wifey is calling...... ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] tharche:
My experience may worth nothing, I'm noob here!

Been using ACA from beginning(from Cope&Warren work for their own build), but from this spring my system got unstable and restart randomly. So I try the AOKP(TOSTI 1.1a pseudo RAM. Until now try some builds but final back to TOSTI 1.1a.

Some APPs not wok with it, but it's fluid and smooth like silk. It's my Daily use Build!

[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Thank you guys for your tips. I have been testing both Paranoid and Tytungs Sd roms. Think will stick with Tytungs for now as I always like being very close to the stock roms and Paranoid is a bit over-decorated for my liking. This is especially so because I have gone easy with the rom flashing these days. I am still running my Note with stock ICs which is good enough for the beast thus will be keeping an eye on the forums for nice things to enhance the HD2. My Hd2 is more of a WP7 (Tango) phone now but I cant resist the allure of dual boot.

And of course ACA is sitting pretty in the same SD card proudly anouncing itself as "Android" while the newer babies call themselves "ICS"....... ;)
