This build roxx!

Everything is working for me :

- Data / Wifi (switch from data to wifi ok)

- Bluetooth (with all other phones, excepted with another HD2 Android)

- Fast and Smooth

- Stable and strong (no FCs)

- GPS lock realy fast (i'm in france, with gps_zone=fr)

i have only one problem ! no realy a build problem, it's a GINGERBREAD problem...

i can't play my MKV (720p) video with hardware decoder... all the app i've try can't do the job...

i've try :

- rockplayer

- vplayer

- galerie3d

- act1 Video Player

- qqplayer

Feedback ?

Please share the feedback of the 290711 ROM i am on 250711, should i move to 290711? it is running great too.

Thanks for such a nice rom:):)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I'm sure if there were any issues, they would have been aired by now, so there is nothing to stop you updating and giving us your feedback ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] hungry81:
No negatives for me. Go for it. change the name of your old android folder and keep it forbackup if your worried. But it works really well, and im using my data.img from the 25th with it.

Hi Guys and Girls,

I've tried all weekend to try and get the cLK version of this build working without success :( I followed newbietrulys excellent instructions and eventually I got as far as typing in the command prompt fastboot flash recovery cLK_recovery_3.0.2.5.img and then when I press enter my computer just reboots?? I'm sure I read somewhere about someone having the same issue but I can't find it. Trust me I've read and searched and read and searched some more, and I just can't figure this one out. I got the Magldr version working without a problem but I've admitted defeat trying to sort this one out. I'd be grateful if someone could guide me in the right direction.

P.S. I am senior in years so be gentle with me :D

P.P.S. I'm on Windows XP(Verrrrry old computer!)

If the SD versions are great like AmericanAndroid, I will leave my WinMo up and running. :-) warren and cope you are the best! Just curious, don't u want to consider cooking for HD2 Winmo 6.5.x? I'm sure you will also top the thread views :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] benpaddlejones:
Before entering any of the commands goto device manager & look for your phone, right click & select update drivers, choose select files locally then navigate to your clk tool kit folder. Windows will find the new Android drivers, restart everything then try again. Sort it has been a while since I have used XP so just follow the jist of my instructions. Or Google how to update hardware drivers in XP & follow the instructions the drivers are located in the Clk toolkit not online.

Benpaddlejones :-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
Just a thought (and my best guess)... ACA is most probably a labor of love, enthusiasm and common interest for both Warren & Cope. Incredibly generous of both of them, as I'm sure (not guessing here), that they both have real lives independant of this ACA endeavor.

WinMo 6.5.x is a walking corpse, as unfortunately MS in their corporate wisdom (which they're famous for), have decided to cut off it's blood supply in favor of a lobotomized WP7 - which does hold great promise for the future.

Fwiw, (personally) I LOVE WinMo 6.5.x - and won't give it up for a very long time. Some truly brilliant, well developed apps exist for this OS that have no equal in the Android/iPhone world, and many folks (I'm certain), still find great utility in this world of WinMo 6.5.x

Many great (meaning: truly excellent) custom ROMs already exist for this OS from other generous & talented chefs. They're out there (well... actually HERE - on XDA), right now.

I hardly think the ACA chefs would waste their talents (unnecessarily), on the WinMo OS.

Just my $.02 - as I like to rant from time to time. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] eddyedwards007:
Thankyou my friend,

My persistence has paid off :D

I've just got it working, finally :D

I decided to start from scratch again with task 29 using hd2 toolkit, I then followed newbietrulys instructions(for the umpteenth time lol) only this time it worked where as before I couldn't get the recovery to load.

I think you may have hit the nail on the head with the android drivers because it took me ages to get them to install, I eventually got them installed by going into device manger like you had suggested, from then on in it went as per instructions.

I'm now going to drag myself from my computer, feed my son before he dies of starvation lol, and then set up my phone again :D

Thanks again for your input and also to dabza for the PM :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Mappazza:
... I do not know if it will help someone, but given the old installation problems I was able to install the 2.3.5 only with this procedure:

1) backup of the old 2 GB data.img apks with Titanium Backup;

2) A fresh installation without data.img, allowing the installation to create his own 1 GB data.img;

3) small customizations, then close the system;

4) replace the 1 Gb data.img previously created with a fresh 2 GB data.img, and finally ...

5) TB apks reinstalling one by one (only the apk, no data, at least for those who could cause problems, and similar type GoLauncher).

At the moment it seems that all is well ...

Infinite thanks to Cope and Warren for giving life to our wonderful Leos!

GPS loser

Hey guys, I either need a great revelation to reveal I'm an idiot or some reassurance I'm doing this right. With the 0729 build, the gps 1.9 libs are included, so I didn't install those. I did install the leo agps injector as well as GPS status. In GPS status I set the auto download to never, and cleared the agps data. Then I used the agps injector... then I just waited for hours. Then I rebooted several times. THEN, I tried to go outside under clear blue sky and get a gps lock, and I couldn't. In the previous versions I could at least get a lock after a few minutes, but now none. Please, everyone tell me I'm forgetting something great and easy. Send me links to read up on what I'm doing, but please help me get my gps fix back.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bernard.bb:
Many many thanks for quick answer :)

[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
@SuperXM1ke for "GPS Loser" :

I leave default ROM and just modify gps.conf with always the same file i edited once : setting localised country and region in NTP servers, and added the "GPS" data to be downloaded every 24H.

And at every new ROM, i copy this file overwritting the old one, and it always works !

(i make a copy of the original one, to be sure nothing is added more by the Team).

I don't install any piece of software, and first cold fix is very fast, without any reboot of device !
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
This suggests an issue with the implementation of the gps libs within the build. The only thing left for you to try is to reinstall the gps libs.

This suggests that the implementation within the build is just fine.

Which versions are you guys using?

I'm on 0729cLK and on first boot gps was disabled. A reboot gave me a fix in seconds, but later this was not happening. I reinstalled the gps libs1.9 and everything is fine.

Like cporeaux, I use a localised gps.conf modified to auto inject AGPS.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
What are these apps that you speak of? I'm curious...
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I can think of only one, but it is a big one... TomTom
[HD2 Android SD Development] SuperXM1ke:
I'm using the 0729cLK also. I've rebooted and followed instructions that I had done previously, but now instead of just not getting a faster fix, I'm getting no fix. I'll try to reinstall the gps1.9 libs, and reboot some and give it all a try again. Thanks for the help from both of you guys.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dyval:
question

will the 729 build work with an old data img? thank you
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:
Hi,

Yes, i always think the build is correct, as i installed it and our team test it before :p

But as i made it since 5 versions, and i never had a pb !

I think it's easy and faster, as soon as i want a different think...

This build is very fine, very fast, no more FC, no special pb for the moment (didn't try BT for a long time of use and data through metro).

And availability to use startup.txt is a good think (thank for the code posted...).

Any news about the 'firstrun' didn't deleted in SD release ? Even after 2 reboots...
[HD2 Android SD Development] jkalford:
Pocket Breeze is the one for me. There are some great android calendar and task applications out there but none work quite like Pocket Breeze.

:-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] satan!:
yes

but if you have problems, then use the new data.img
[HD2 Android SD Development] SharpKami:
I deleted the data.img as instructed so that it creates its own but it wont get through the very first screen , i never had problems with any of the versions b4 on my HD2. for some reason it only creates 852mb of data when i go back into windows and check the data.img size. Any suggestions ?

[HD2 Android SD Development] dyval:
but how should I back up my settings, data and apps, would I just need Titanium Back Up for this? thanks again
[HD2 Android SD Development] cporeaux:

You wait a long time ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] satan!:
all as usual (just need Titanium Backup)

there will be problems with the old data.img

make new

cporeaux 5-10 minutes
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
That's why I asked what version you were using. If I assume it's SD, it suggests that the gps libs are correctly implemented in the SD build, but this is not the case with the cLK version as we could only cure it by installing the gps.libs1.9.zip

This provides valuable feedback for Cope.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Is there enough free space on your SD card?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Tubgirl:
Hehe... seems like my data drops and FCs have disappeared!! Wonder why?!? ;)

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
To clarify for folks:

1 - BUILD ID. if you installed the 7/29 build with the 240 build prop file, your build ID will say 7/27. Hopefully Cope can clarify if the build prop file is identical other than that.

2 - FRESH DATA IMAGE (OR NOT). although some will say that you have to or should install with a fresh data image, I believe that you can use your old data image. I did this, as have others, and have had no trouble. If you do have trouble, consider reinstalling and perhaps redownloading.

3 - FONT/IMAGE SIZE. remember that you can edit the build prop file within android to reset the lcd density to your desired density (if you prefer something between 167 and 240). Open the file in ES File Explorer using ES file editor (ensure you give the program root rights). Change the 167 to whatever number you need, save the file and reboot.

4 - SCREEN LAG. Many of us continue to experience screen lag (observation, not complaint). A fresh data image will not change this (because I've tried). It's likely caused by something else in our personal setup, as some people have this and others do not. This is not the same as the Screen of Death. For the screen lag (which I call the "chase game"), you just have to be patient for a few seconds. I think that this may have to do with the clocking settings, but i haven't played with those enough to see results.

Regarding NAND and SD. I think that many folks are confused when we are seeing dialog on the NAND build as to whether it applies to the SD build. It would help, I think, if people simply preface the comment/question with SD or NAND so we know which build it applies to. I know I'm not certain if fixes apply equally once the NAND or SD build is installed, and I'm not clear on whether start-up fixes apply uniquely or to both.

thanks all,

Wifi tether

Has anyone had any success with jul29 wifi tether? On my hd2 it reboots the device as soon as I press 'Portable Wi-Fi hotspot'.

I'm using Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14.
[HD2 Android SD Development] SuperXM1ke:
I added the 24hr update to the gps.conf file that came with the build, rebooted and waited a bit. From cold start I got gps fix in under 2 mins, which is all I ever asked for. Thanks a lot cporeaux, I think that might have solved my issue.

@Uzi : i thought my signature was clear enough not to mention it's an SD version i use ;-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Man, just install the damn thing, will you?

Use your old image and if you get issues, make a backup with titanium, erase the old image and let the build create a new one. Restore your stuff.

It's really easy and several people gave you the same advice.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
I second the suggestion.

But I doubt it will be done, since many users can't be bothered to read.

@ the people complaining about the date that isnt right -- it was a typo -- i have to manually edit that file and change the date on each build release and I forgot. I CANNOT believe how many posts there are about it. See the date on the build you downloaded.... the .7z date... THAT IS THE DATE.. regardless of what it says after you copy the 240 build prop in. -- Either way. this is now gone from the build and we wont have this issue anymore.

@benpaddlejones. - i told you many times you dont have to do anything other then have an ext2 partition on your sd card -- AND that dalvikcache2sd would take over automatically. this has generated too many posts, and confused you to no end.. so im removing it.

@the gps not working on the clk build.. i can't see why this would be a problem. there's absolutely no reason what so ever that the gps would be working on the sd the magldr but not the clk.

@ everything else... all this modding everyone is doing.. thats fine... but if you mod your build ie install tytungs 1.9 libs and then update and have issues.. or if you chagne the kernel etc etc and then run into issues later ... dont post about it.

theres no way we can possibly track all the variables and changes every single person does before they run into an issue. its frustration to no end. Here's what I recommend. if you run into problems and you just cant get it to work, do a fresh install new data.img / (nand users wipe all the partitions prior to updating) etc then if you have problems post about it.

-------SOOOOOOOOO MANY POSTS-------------------------

No offence taken :) Its near perfect for what I use i.e. I don't use voip, gps lock is good enough for me and the battery life gives me 15hrs. The devs are great and its a really interesting thread / development; lots of other interesting facets linked to with the HD2/Android.

[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I can't see why it would be a problem either, as obviously all builds come from the same source. However I am not alone in reporting issues and I haven't heard from anyone running the cLK build who has GPS running as it should straight out of the box. It has needed a fresh install to work properly from the early test builds.

We just report what we find in the hope that it helps you make the best better.
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
An update since updating to 72911........absolutely no problems whatsoever. Phone is on 19hr1min on battery. With 30% still left all with wifi on periodically, data on periodically and making numerous msg's and phone calls. Love the new build. Great work guys.

If that is the only thing that is missing, the software seems to be a good alternative.

Honestly, how many people use their navigation solution for putting in coordinates?

Most people use it for driving in a car and they use adresses not coordinates.

Sure, if you do geocaching you need coordinates and there are other nav applications where you need that option, too. But for those applications you also need the right map material. Standard car navigation maps won't do in that case.

Garmin does offer that kind of maps and the garmin app you can get for winmo accepts coordinates.

So yes, if you have those maps and want to use them, Android has nothing similar to offer.

But to say igo for Android is bad because it doesn't accept coordinates is not very smart, since there is not much use for that option without the right map material.

People paid good money for a winmo navigation solution and want to keep using it. I can understand that.

There are specialized navigation solutions like the off the street maps garmin offers for winmo and if someone needs those, he'll want to stick to winmo. I can understand that, too.

Most people, however, use their phones navigation to get from A to B in a car.

They can use Google navigation for that in Android and there are offline solutions for those that don't have a data plan with unlimited online option or people that want to use offline navigation when traveling in foreign countries where their data plan doesn't apply.

Those people don't have to use winmo, they can get everything they need using Android. That's the majority of users. So please don't make them think otherwise because of some special needs of yours.

Of course it's ok, if igo for Android is no option for you. It's also good to know that it doesn't accept coordinates and that that is the reason why you can't use it. But it would also be nice if you would tell us what you need that for.

Why? Because there are users out there that don't know much about such things and they can easily be unsettled. Add some more information and they can get the picture and decide if it is a problem for them, too or if they can live with it.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Nelthalin:
I had MDJ builds before ACA but ACA got really mature. Its one of (if not the) fastest SD builds. Compared to ACA Nand the SD build is almost as fast.

Offcource just old your finger on it (like holding a mouse button. If you tap it you open it. Hold it down for extra options/ moving icions). Then you can move it to the recycle bin in the top.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Now that more people are switching to NAND... have you noticed a significantly increased battery life compared to the SD build?

Also is everyone's Market allowing them to updated and download apps after a reboot without having to cmod the cache directory after each reboot?

With nand I get 2ma to 5ma in standby.

SD gets me around 7ma-11ma in standby.

That's with 4g data enabled cpu set to 245 min 1113 max.

As for the battery lasting "longer" I can't really say because I use my hd2 waaay too much to notice how long the battery lasts...but according to standby drains, it should last longer.
