I had the crazy reboot bypassing windows too, i however dropped my old data.img from previous build upon first boot ( i know bad but i hadn't really used it when the new version came out) but it only did that once and no lock screen problem here. So i don't think it is tied together.

New build is finishing downloading while I type this! With all the various feedback I thought I'd give it a try and see if I experience any problems.

EDIT: Booting...LOVE the new animation!

This is the first time I haven't done a clean install. I just copied over the Android folder. Fingers crossed!

EDIT: Stuck on the animation. The green guy is just twitching right now. Should I pull batt?

Good point :cool:

[HD2 Android SD Development] daniel_kiefer:
I waited for a while. No luck. Pulled batt. Seemed to work the second time. Turned off right after the animation. Turned it back on. It did it again, only this time it wouldn't turn on, had to pull the batt again. Booted again, and now I'm getting TONS of FCs. Something didn't work for me. This is why I always do a clean install :p

Ringtones

How do I add ringtones?

I created "sd/ringtones", that didn't work and I tried sd/android/ringtones - didn't work either

I seem to remember this being discussed but can't find it......
[HD2 Android SD Development] globalgpj:
You have to create a Folder "Media" in the SD root dir (storage card\Media\...). Then create 3 sub folders, Alarms, Notification and Ringtones. Put your ringtones in the ringtone folder. That's it. :)

Wrong extensions of kernel file?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Ringtones

Ringtones are stored in system\media\audio\ringtones\ and there are separate folders for alarms,notifications and ui

You can copy your sounds directly to these folders with an su enabled file explorer in android. Reboot and they will be seen by the system.

You can also use Winmo or a cardreader and copy the files to android/root/system/media/audio/ringtones/ to push them to this folder.

But this same pattern of folders is recognised anywhere on the SD card, so SDcard:/Ringtones/system/media/audio/ringtones/Ring.ogg will work just as well.

Hi, I have done a quick search but cant find the answer. In this build whenever the phone is in standby for a long time the screen does not come back on. I'm using an existing data.img for the previous build but i do not think this is a prob as i have done this in the past. Any ideas?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
That sounds pretty serious. Do you have to pull the battery to restart? Do you get the same problem in Winmo or WP7? If yes, it's a hardware issue, if no I would suggest you reformat your SD card and do a clean install.

How can i know that the kernel is of a wrong extension?...i, not using any custom kernel.its the included one.I dont understand, because i ran the prev build without any such problems.I did a fresh installation of the new build and this problem suddenly crops up...
[HD2 Android SD Development] prashanthm:
huh! just finished a crazy 2 hours of my trial to do a fresh install of 052611 with a fully formatted SD card with a single partition...... I was able to boot into Android twice but a subsequent reboot failed miserably as I was stuck on the htc logo screen....

I am sure this is not related to ACA or this build as such since others do not seem to have this problem. I also am sure that this is not related to the SD card......

Back to my 051211 build for the moment, will give it a try again later..., but i liked the boot animation very much, my kid liked it even more :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] kergekecske:
I had similar issue ( not with this release ). It was copy failure. Try to extract again , delete the old file and recopy. Best method if you put the card directly into pc , not copy through mgldr or droid. Maybe windows(7) will correct the problem in filestructure on your SD (if you have problem with it).

Erm…what do you NOT understand in his post ?

You want them to send the .apk by email to you ? They tell you where to find it, so try to reach to the folder where is the .apk.

AND if you find a lot of .apk [because this folder is full of installers], PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, don't tell us that you can't find it because there are too many files in the folder.

Complaints, k-9 drain and wifi issues

Although I understand it I dont fully agree with copes post a few pages back.

I feel everybody should be entitled to post his issues, as long as he tries to post as many infos as possible and made a search before he posts.

You can always choose to take them seriously or not.

Also, users here help eachothter and although I reallly appreciate your urge to reply to every little complaint, you dont really have to, let alone get upset by some minor issue posts.

What I want to say is that before people go through the time consuming process of a clean install, they should be able to post their issues here. Let us give them some tips and if nothing works they can always start from square one.

My battery drain problem for example had nothing to do with my data.img and this hour and a half setting up everything again was a complete waste of my time. It turned out to be k-9, which I have installed again (no backup restore, just plain reinstall, there was an update though...) and now everything works just as it should and with a custom icon for k-9 it even looks nice :D

I for one think its a lot more important that people put a propper title / subject to their post and strictly no support without some essential info (build, data.img, partitions, Magldr, and so on)

Regarding the recent wifi issue, I dont know how it could get overlooked but it was most probably because when we updated the kernel, we also put a root folder in the Android directory with the .ko files which did not get removed when you use another than the 167 build density because you then already have a .root folder with your build.prop in it.

Thats also why people stated that they deleted the whole Android folder, copied the new one back (and then evenutally their data.img back too) and everything worked.

I simply deleted the .root and root folder, copied my own root folder over (I use a custom gps.conf file from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953630, amazing btw, and edit the build.prop to 202 dip and my apns dns settings) and was ready to go. No freezes on htc logo, no battery pull, everything worked perfectly, for this and the 2 later reboots. So far everything is astonishingly good!

BTW, yesterday (on MAY 21 with r25 kernel) I even bettered my brothers NAND build regarding wake up lag, I press button and bam, I'm there, his roughly a sec later :D He then showed me his battery history and we called it even... ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] SPEEDHAMMER:
Ok,i have tried all that.I even downloaded the file again...but the 'kernel open failed' error still crops up.I really want to get this build working guys...pls help.tks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
if you uncheck "hide file extensions for known file types" in Windows you will be able to see.

It's a pretty serious problem if you have to reboot in order to turn the phone on :eek:

Going back to the previous build will not solve your problem. You need a clean install.

It would be great if the title was included in a quote and I think you've hit the nail on the head with regard to the wifi issue. It would only have affected those who updated to the interim 0525 kernel. I was caught out by that.

there is a difference between posting about issues,

and complaining (i used a different word last post) about issues.

People are encouraged to post their issues 24/7 its the nature of xda, but -- once it crosses the line to.. that other word.. then things must be taken down a notch.

ya dig?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
.root is a dummy folder

to prevent things like... accidental copy overs by people who forget that they copied something to /sdcard/android/root

the build is setup to rename the /sdcard/android/root folder to /sdcard/android/.root @ shutdown.

so if you want to make changes to something you can either redo it and create a new root folder or you can rename the .root folder to root -- and make sure you do this before you boot up.. or if your in android and you make these changes pull ur batt... cause the moment you shutdown that folder gets renamed and your changes wont take. I think this is in the first post somewhere... i know its been discussed before.

[HD2 Android SD Development] adell_:
Thanks. I think I somewhat understand this. So there shouldn't be any problems retaining the existing .root folder, right? When I upgrade if I copy root folder from 240buildprop folder I guess some script will use that to configure something and then rename it to .root again (copy over the existing .root folder in the process).

ur correct. if you make a new root folder it will over write the old .root folder @ shutdown..... i can only build in so much redundancy :)

I hope you dug my message too, and anybody who "has to be behind cope on this" simply didn't dig deep enough. I know he's the dev guys and can get a bit loud from time to time, but come on, man up!

I am sure you wouldnt want your posts removed only because you havent made a new install? And I know exactly where this would go if done consistently, people would just claim they did a clean install... never underestimate the lazyness of people.

I fully agree on the *****ing point and I am ceartainly not willing to give a free pass a la pllzzzzz posts as I actually was in no way refering to them. But if the above stated will really be done (I take our devs word quite serious and I know that the force soon will be with you) I just wanted to at least voice my concerns.

So I take it from your second post that you were upset and didn't literally mean "delete all posts with issues if no clean install...". In that case I am good.

Regarding backup2sdext, I know how much you like it so I will not say anything about it. ;)

I think that sadly some people DO want to piss the noobs off, because it seems to make them feel better. That's why I advocated just telling them the question has been asked and answered and suggesting they look at FAQS, first post and use the search function. Sometimes the search function can be a pain. I was trying to figure out how to install the circle battery indicator in the status bar and found it difficult...

Just remember that many former noobs are valuable contributing members now and we don't want to drive off good new community members. Sometimes you just roll your eyes and move on.

haha, I knew you couldnt let it go once I post such a statement. Dont get me wrong, its not bothering me at all as I have disabled it for a long time already, first with a custom 05mountsd and now by only having a fat and a swap partition (both to at least have the speed benefit of partitioning, the one reason why I believe partitioning was done in the frist place). Didnt have one issue with FCs, apps not working or missing app data or missing settings or missing messages or similar since. I also never run fix perm and all is very good at my end.

(THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR ANYBODY ELSE, DONT COME COMPLAINING THAT STUFF ISNT WORKING IF YOU DONT RUN FIX PERM!!) -> just to make sure... :D

As you might recall, had tons of issues with ACA at first back in April, since no backup2sd - no problems.

OK my 1st post in this thread,firstly thanx to the team for developing these

SD builds,much appreciated.

Secondly,I do have a few issues which may or may not have been already discussed,I have to admit I haven't read thru every page so apologies if I'm repeating something here.

I'm pretty sure I have followed the install instructions correctly (I'm not a noob to SD builds and how to install) but in this case I used a brand new 16gb class 10 PNY card

which I formatted and did a completely clean install,my questions centre around the green LED light which for some reason stays on once unplugged and screen locked.It otherwise acts as I would expect it to i.e shows when fully charged and connected to charger and blinks on notifications as set up.

Also,I appear to have more 'system process' or app not responding type notifications than I have ever seen in any other build I've used.

I've re-booted several times to ensure the system is running at it's optimum,

but am concerned I might have done summat wrong somewhere.

Any advice welcome cheers.

Here is the Cyanogenmod settings screen. I am using LCD density 240, but if you have better eyesight you will be able to use all 5 available buttons without using up all of your status bar :)

I seem to have checked disable lockscreen by mistake...

The only downside was that ZMooth didn't work with a bottom status bar, but the buttons make it redundant.

I am using a Honeycomb theme for the blue style - all credit to dohclude

With the standard theme it will look like this... ____________________________ ... and in the blue theme

...just the bottom showing notifications which pop up rather than down with a bottom bar.

In order to access the notifications you need to swipe the status bar in an area not occupied by the soft buttons.
