Partitions and screen lag

Are you on a partitioned SD card?

Might want to change that to only 2 (fat32 and swap, rest of the procedure the same), or only one (fat32) partition and check if your FC and msg losing problems persist.

I dont get the stalls or slowing part, but the change of the folder to .root is perfectly normal an does not effect anything, once you have copied the files to the system with the folder called root. I use 202 resolution and it works, as long as the folder is called root the first time I boot. Renaming is done after first load to ensure you dont copy stuff over that is there already, or is outdated (as far as I have understood the process).

The screen lag problem, I would usually post (and did already a few times) that your SD is bad, getting old or what not. You can try to format it and then try again (FAQ for instructions), or just buy another one from a good brand like SanDisk. Classes dont matter, I have a class 4 and have instant wake up, always.

But, the recent comination of build and kernel seems to cause a lot of problems, so you might also want to wait for a new release and try again before going out and buying a new sd card.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
The first one isn't a problem, it's a feature. When pushing files into the system this way, it only needs to be done once, not on every boot, so renaming root to .root is an effective way of preventing this.

The HD2 is very capable, but it will slow down or stutter if you throw too many things at it at the same time.

Your right key may be a little sticky. Save wear and tear by waking up with the other keys.
[HD2 Android SD Development] prashanthm:
Thanks Warren & Cope, looking forward for the Burger Thursday build :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] shost:
You cannot put root folder under running Android it renames it during shutdown to .root, put it there in winmo.
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheNT:
Thanks guys... i know you will manage it ;)

Try to not changing build so much just kernel stuff cause this build with other kernel (i won't name it, and sorry i know you probablly don't like that but i had to try) is soooooo fast i think definitely the best one so far... even with old data.img file. wifi on, data on bluetooth everything perfect and fast.

From standy wake up fast, no FC, only one time with FB widget.

Bluetooth with Torque app and CHX obd pairing and OBD2 logging perfect.

Pairing with symbian e65 sending and recieving data perfect.

Voice and gprs/3g data perfect.

Sync perfect.

proximity and light sensor perfect and fast.

GPS perfect

Batterry with wifi at 7ma, without wifi at 5ma...

I think i tried allmoust everything...

Anyway... i wanted to say please don't change it too much :)

Great works guys, i'll hope you'll find all the isues and we will all say "buon apetit" this thursday.

Keep on good work, you rock!
[HD2 Android SD Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I'm using three partitions for bckup2sd. Loosing text messages isn't as huge a deal to me, as the FC's are. I'll try it with the different partition configuration to see if it helps. Mostly, I was just posting for informational purposes, so that they knew what was going on.

Yes, we waiting... :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Emschertal:
Hi all,

I am still experiencing the same issue.

Everytime I run the market app it only tells me to hard shut down the app.

Does anybody know a solution?

Many thanks

Chamsys app does not fill the screen correctly

Hello,

I'm using now the latest version (10juni) on my HD2 and the app that I need does not correct display @ full screen on my phone. Now missing some item's and can't use the program on a good way

on other android phone's it is display correct.

If you search in the market to "magicQ" or "chamsys" you can find the app and install them for free.

thanks for your help.
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
- check 1st post for info on screen resolution density (167 vs 240)

- or try Spare Parts -> compatibility mode

- the latest version is 0620, wich probably does not affect your problem in any way

Happy burger thursday everyone.

There will be a release tonight. We made major advances on squashing out our kernel bugs last night. Tonight should get us up to a point that we are happy with. 062311 base build is already complete..... so it wont take much time to get the rest up to snuff.

So look for something a little later on today ~7 or 8pm mst.

WORD

[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Good News - 062011 was an excellent build when paired with Tytung's kernel. It will be great to go back to the full AmeriCanAndroid :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] prashanthm:
Cool! Thanks Cope and Warren. I am waiting..... :)

Happy burger thursday......
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
Well I tried this version and its not playing the movies. It will load and act like its gonna play the movie but does nothing
[HD2 Android SD Development] cmillens:
Status Update 0623

Well, good news people!

Cope and I were up late (for me anyways) testing, testing and testing some more.

We systematically went through all the updates, commits and such as whats until we narrowed the FC/Wait down to a specific set of check-ins.

We used the base 0620 build and changed out the kernel repeatedly until we had it narrowed down.

Today, my baby is running better and smoother than it has since the first sign of the issues and we are very happy with the results so far.

I suspect, though I can not speak for the Masters, that today (yes, it is Burger Thursday after all) you will see a new release and you will be very happy with it. I sure am.

I also know that Warren is working very hard to nail down the specific commit that caused the problems in the first place. So, stay tuned on that front!
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Fantastic news !!!!! Right on !!!

But ....

1. Battery was not as long lasting as with warren's kernel

2. No 128MHz either

3. It was not warren's kernel

and one more thing:

4. PC - USB: files copied from PC were not seen (I guess it is build's issue)
[HD2 Android SD Development] reijkelhof:
"Voice and gprs/3g data perfect."

so with tytung_r10 kernel on this build, the data does not drop?
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
Fast points:

- happy to know a new build is coming with new things resolved

-same for car mode in my hd2 : one in english, one in french (my langage on the phone)

-i think also there is an issue with sms/mms when sd-ext

-after each restart (stop and satrt) some apps need sd/memort move to be usable)

-batt consumprion on mine (without calibration but new data, so normal) is vert good (10/12 with data, in train (french TGV, 250KMH)

Very happy with current build, the good way !

I am excited and can't wait to try the latest :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I think that one is Cyaonegen's issue and it dates back to the beginning of May in one form or another.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
Great news, can't wait to give her a whirl.

Bad news for me is I seem to have had a blonde moment when ordering my new sd card and didn't check that I bought the micro sd version, d'oh!

Need to return my jumbo one and I've just ordered the correct type
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheNT:
at home i'm using wifi, out of home gprs for mail and sometimes 3g umts when surfing... didn't saw any drops.

edit:

I am manually switching 2g/3g when needed cause drops are often caused by network provider.

I keep manuall 2g until i need some speed.

It's not build problem i think but your network provider...

And if it is about your device... try to switch to some other radio (mine is 2.15).

In my region (Croatia t-mobile) this 2.15 works great but i saw some folks that switching the radio to lower version helped them in data and voice reception.

This is old thing and not android related (i think)... it last for ages on all mobile devices.

sorry for not so good English ;)

[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Strange but true.

I have been having high battery drain for some time now. A few days ago I finally pulled the trigger and replaced Winmo with Winphone 7. And wont you believe it my drain is now back to 5mA with most things on. So what this confirms that something in my Winmo was assisting to chew the battery even with Winmo set to Aeroplane mode. Maybe this info might help those users who face similar high drain to just change their base rom or move on to Magdlr.....

I also used to have my Sim Tool Kit app vanish and not work properly but after Winmo replacement now STK works correctly. Wonder how these things have an impact on each other. :p

That said I have been running 20th June build with my old data and no problems at all save for the occasion Wait with Xda premium app. eagerly waiting for the upcoming build. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] webvan:
Running WP7 in NAND here (never use it though) and the drain varies between 5 and 50 with the screen off for some reason, at least that's what currentflow says. As a result the battery loses about 4% per hour, not too bad I guess.

One thing that annoys me a bit though is that I have "freezes" here and there when using my HD2, not systematic, but frequent. Anyone else have that? My SD card is class 6 so can't improve much there. Does it come down to the fact that the HD2 was not designed specifically for Android? Thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
Yes, some freezes also, varie also... exactly yhe same (and sometimes system also !)
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
In a way, yes, you could say that.

The people that make it possible for us to enjoy Android on our Windows Mobile HD2 work on this in their spare time. They don't work for HTC, they don't work for Google. They don't have the recources the people at HTC and Google have and you surely know that even some stuff coming from HTC or Google is not very reliable.

The devs here do the best they can, because they use the same thing they share with us.

There have been some problems with freezes and FCs for the last couple of builds but if you just go and read back a couple of pages you'll find, that the devs have worked on it and believe they found the problem and it will be solved with the next build that they will give us in a couple of hours.
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
I did a reboot and all of a sudden its working now. Didn't have to reboot with the past versions. But all is well now

[HD2 Android SD Development] prashanthm:
Cool! Thanks Cope........ Happy Burger Thursday (Friday here..... :))

Will update after work today........

On a seperate note, My notification/status bar is missing. Probably after installing speedtest.net app. I am loathe to reboot the phone as I am sceptical that I might get stuck on the htc logo or the boot animation...., will try rebooting after work today..........
[HD2 Android SD Development] gillgrylls:
which WP7 build are you using? do i need to have a windows key to use it? was also thinking of switching to WP7 while using this build of Android.
[HD2 Android SD Development] webvan:
Running XBmod-WP7-V1.11 and yes I had activated it with MS.

Having said since I'm using MAGLDR so I'm not even sure you need to have a WP7 ROM installed?

I used wp7 nand with android aca SD last 6 Months or so but recently wp7 gets stuck on screen saying that SD card has changed and wont let me finish boot. What is proper way to prepare SD card for dual boot, has anything changed there since nodo update. Thx
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
For the second case, i.e. stuck on bootanimation, I've found live logcat lite by Chainfire to be of great use. As the name suggests it displays live preview of logcat instead of bootanimation, thus providing info what went wrong in case it did. Saved me few times after mistakenly removed necessary system components.
[HD2 Android SD Development] webvan:
No joy with the JUN23 update so far, frozen on the unlock screen with unresponsive screen...will try copying Android again to the SD.

I've just consumed my Friday morning breakfast burger.

Huge thanks to Oberburgermeister Cope, Warren and the team of troubleshooters.

The update from 0620(Tytung) was super smooth and my first impressions are that all that hard work on the kernel has been well worth it. Great to be running a full AmeriCanAndroid build again :) :) :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] prashanthm:
Thanks.

I have used livelogcat on the earlier build, but purely for fun reasons :D

I will give it a try again for other reasons :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bazzz66:
+1 , also no more lag when I receive end a call :)

Can anyone confirm that the 3d drivers from chainfire have a positive effect on our build??

Regards
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
EDIT: N/M it rebooted eventually just didn't do it straight from the boot animation which confused me lol (it doesn't take much)

Righto then, all looking nice and smooth so far. Nice work guys!
[HD2 Android SD Development] pwhitrow:
I use the Chainfire drivers and to me, at least, it just 'feels' better. Can't quantify it, but there you go :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] prashanthm:
I was having more problems with incoming calls not displaying any option to accept or reject on the lockscreen. So, I used 'Hot Boot' using Quick Boot app to restart the shell and everything looks to be fine now....

Will update to 0623 after work today.......
[HD2 Android SD Development] JHimmelbauer:
thank you, great job again - until yet (3 hours) no problems with G3, Wifi, BT etc.
[HD2 Android SD Development] manoruz:
Dear Devs....

I fully agree with Uzi - this is fast and stable and rocks.

though this still bugs me - I know its not right to complain but just a note

http://code.google.com/p/cm7leo/issues/detail?id=48

and this from the forum as well on how to do it

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10590767&postcount=941

I'm sure it can be tweaked coz in Windows mobile the volume is louder, beefier - in HD2Andro it sounds like its coming from a poor quality speaker.

Sorry to be a pain in the wrong place but if it were as easy as editing a few reg entries like how it is in WinMo 6.5, I'd do it myself, but alas I need you oh dear devs, we need you!

edit: I also copied all the tones from winmo, converted them to .ogg and pushed them to root/system/media/audio/ringtones, noptification etc and they come out nicley - jus not as beefy and loud as in winmo

and I know Cope replied telling us all to adjust the attenuation settings in Cyanogenmod settings but many will agree this has little effect on the overall volume/quality of the loudspeaker. The in call speaker is fine but the loudspeaker....

Thanks right now mine 1450. I just wanted to make sure that my score was the norm.
[HD2 Android SD Development] IndivisibleP:
Great Build !

This is a great build, i almost hate to have to ask about a few bugs...

but i figure bug fixing only makes great builds greater, so :D

Ok, i only have noticed two things, one is that wifi seems to disconnect after the phone goes into sleep for a while. I guess it also reconnects from time to time b/c i still wake up to emails, but for instance if i am downloading torrents and it goes to sleep, eventually it disconnects and stops active wifi activity... :confused:

Any suggestions?

Also secondly the ringtones or notification tones sometimes change at random to either songs in my library or stock sounds.

Even still Iam enjoying this build. But if anyone has a suggestion for that wifi thing that would be great.

[HD2 Android SD Development] jedilost1:
first off i'd like to say

I LOVE THIS ROM

It has everything i ever needed

Speed, Dependability, amongst a bunch of others.

But there is only one thing that bothers me that i can't get to work

It won't play AVIs and MPEG files

It instead just shuts the player down, i've tried to install all other media players and it still has the same issue!!

Anyone have a similar issue and have some tips??
[HD2 Android SD Development] alaindev:
PowerAmp

YES, I can confirm this one : right after every reboot, PowerAmp crashes.

Which is a pity, because this is the very best music player on our phones.

There is a workaround which allows to use PowerAmp after the initial crash, without having to uninstall & reinstall :

go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/PowerAmp, and then

1. tap on Move to SD card, wait 10 seconds or so to be sure the operation has completed

2. tap on Move to phone, wait again

Go out of Settings, now you can run PowerAmp again.

But you still have the crash the next reboot.

However, it would be nice if either Warren or Copenhagen could investigate this problem.
[HD2 Android SD Development] alaindev:
AVI players

Maybe you do not know that the original Android player doesn't play AVI movies (at least not divx encoded) or some MPEG movies (however I was able to play .mp4 ones).

There are several players you can get free on Market. I just tried RockPlayer and it is working OK with AVI files on the latest FEB24c release.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
The same for firefox for me. Never got time to investigate
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
It was spokena few times qqplayer and vplayer are doing just fine
[HD2 Android SD Development] alaindev:
report for FEB24c build

So far, this release works pretty well, and did solve the "lost settings after reboot" issue.

2G/3G data OK

Wifi OK

Market OK

GPS OK (however a bit long to get a fix)

Battery drain OK (5 to 8 mA on standby)

I had the occasional 2 sec lag for getting the phone out of standby, but this had resolved after several reboots.

The only issue I have so far is about PowerAmp, as described a couple of posts before. But then, there a still a lot of apps I did not have time to test.

FYI, I started again with a complete fresh install after re-formatting again my 3 partitions FAT32, ext3 and linux-swap.

If you want, tomorrow I can try replacing the ext3 partition with an ext4, and tell you how it works for me.

Good Night everybody.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ionbasa:
just hoping someone would be able to tell me how to change the kernel and the accompanying modules.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
you can do what ever you want with the kernel, but as we have our OWN kernel and our OWN kernel dev, the only kernel we support (and rightfully so.... warren has done a superb job so far with his kernels)

so if you are going to change up kernels, the best we can do, is provide forum space for you to post your findings.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
this is not a thread about changing kernels. this is basic android knowledge that you can find very easily right in the hd2 android wiki.... it is also in MY faq's.

we support what we provide.. so if we dont provide a different kernel... we dont support it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
It looks that we do not lose our settings & data after reboot. This build is more stable in comparison to original [FEB24] build especially in data connection.

THX for your great work!
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
@those people with app crashes. when is the last time you made a new data.img? I have a VERY STRONG suspision, that it is about time for a new data.img ... all the changes in the builds since the 21st probably have taken it's toll on your existing data.img....

just a thought.

any app crashes that I have had.. i simply uninstall them and then reinstall. Crashes gone (I myself made a new data.img last night)

and regarding data... ive got to say.

I am a cable phone and internet installer by trade (at least I was this weekend)

and today all i did was drive (using gps&data) go into a customers house.. do my install. call my dispatch department to provision and activate equipment, then leave. back on the road using navigation and data repeat. I did this about 8 times (pretty much all day) and NOT ONCE did I have to cycle data, or have "network error" or any such negative experience. So I'm putting this out to everyone.. my data worked 100% today not 1 error.
[HD2 Android SD Development] webvan:
Still have a frozen lock screen upon reboot after install with 0623. I was able to go back to 0610, then tried 0623 -> freeze. Anyone else have that problem?

i used until now aca 051211. had no sod before.

i also tried nearly every update, but everytime i came

back to my 051211 setup because of the here discribed

problems.

today i updated to 062311 (with the kernel from 051211).

just received a call, ended up with my first sod so far ...

had to plug out the accu, rebooted, called myself from

another phone, took the call, hang up with the other

phone: no sod. okay, will have an eye on that and report

if another sod will happen.

gps, data, sms etc. was okay so far and stable to ...

greetz, oppen

edit: used old data.img created from scratch for that 051211 build ...

edit2: gps app sygic run in the background an was connected to gps ...
