Great, it works ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
a lot of people seem to think that we disabled that ability ;) ... we really didnt ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Hm, hard to suggest anything.

As I said, it is working on my phone.

You could try formating your sd card and reinstall the build with a fresh data image and the app. You could also try a different sd card, if you've got one.

Aside from that, I have no idea why this is working for me and doesn't for you.

What radio version and winmo ROM are you using?

When you tried using the app, where you connected over wifi or mobile?

backup2sdext Testing...

I formatted ext3 partition and restored my latest backup of 2Apr and updated this to 7Apr

Boot - device powered off after about 5mins in green HTC screen

Reboot - loaded normally, but with no reset and nothing backed up to sd-ext

Reboot - still nothing on sd-ext partition

Normal reboot, but still nothing on sd-ext

All partitions are correct

Android folder used - all files updated and new 240 build

Looks like page2rss site you are linking to on the release post has been compromised, it redirects to a page that tries to push a payload with fake AVS. Here is what my AVG caught. You might want to put a notice next to the link or take it down for now.

T Mous SD install

Ok first let me say that i installed 4-6-11 then 4-7-11. Running 4-7 build i need to stop and restart WIFI conection each time i download. I dont know how the data conection works yet but i will know that tonight. I know that before i had to stop and start that as well just not as often as the wifi. This is the first build i had trouble with the wifi.

Great job thow. keep up the great work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
what did you use to check for files on sd-ext? did it have root access?

do this.

su

ls -l /sd-ext/*

if you still see nothing then yes there is a problem.
[HD2 Android SD Development] vnt87:
Fixed it, it was just a normal issue of screen resolution being set too high, and broke the graphic. A simple LCD density readjustment did the trick. This can be done manually by editing the /system/build.prop file or you can use any of the LCD density changers in the market. Default was set to 180, and I changed it to 220 and everything works wonderfully now.

Just watching "Tagesschau in 100 Sekunden ". This app works, but you need 3g to get it without interrupts.

I use ES File Explorer. It does have root access and can see the sd-ext partition, but it only contains an empty lost+found folder

Has anyone else problems with synchronising to MS Exchange 2010?

I´ve tried this and also have 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in system/etc/resolv.conf. I was connected for at least 15 min. Could not open that one in etc/ppp

Also I experience in the 0407 build more data drops then in 0402, where I had none;) ( i tried both keeping the data.img and using a new one, maybe the built has to run a little bit longer)

Just to make sure: I really appreciate your work and the effort you put in this. This is not a complaint about something not working, I just wanted you to notice. It is the best rom i´ve ever used and I will stay on it.

greetings
[HD2 Android SD Development] UltimateKO:
**EDIT**

nvm, its working now.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sly5789:
This build just gets better and better. Even if the updates are only 2 days apart lol. Thank you CopeN and WarrenB, keep up the great work. The best SD GB build ever.

Report minor issue... 4/7

this is probably a cm issue but i've noticed my adw swipe down gesture is not working properly. I've had it set to open notifications and has always worked on previous builds. Playing with settings and rebooting does not fix. I found that if I enable tablet tweaks in cm settings to place status bar at bottom my swipe down gesture works. I prefer status bar at top.

Thank you for the hard work and time you guys put into developing and maintaining this build!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Wildcopper:
A great build as always, smooth as a "baby's ass".

My only grief remains the battery drain.

Do you plan to add those battery saving elements you talked about recently to the kernel in a future version?

Otherwise, I'm loving it. I wouldn't use another build on my HD2.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikelees2:
I had the same problem with 4-7 build. had to delete everything then it would install. also ended up going back to 4-6-11 because had several issues with screen on installs and having to restart the wifi connection every time it finished downloading somthing and backup and pandora would not work. 4-6 seems to work ok
[HD2 Android SD Development] dragmark:
@uzi2

I have the same issue. Is there any fix for that?

PS: I read the FAQ's and there is nothing mentioned about this :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] UltimateKO:
great, this now seems to be my issue. wifi wont stay connected.

*EDIT*

I can't keep restarting my phone for my wifi to work, Im going back to the 021811 build I had.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
absolutely 0 changes were made to wifi components. ,,,, just reboot your router and remove and re add your access point. you only have to do it one time.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikelees2:
I will try this again tomorrow. I'm at work now. Everything is working great for me under the 4-6 build.

Thanks again guys. This is by far one of the best builds for the HD2.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Everyone has this, but it isn't an issue. It would be very harmful to the life of the battery, if it was kept at 100% whilst on charge. The system will charge it to 100%, but not resume charging until it falls to 90%. This is why the green light shows at this figure.

Those that keep their device on charge all night will experience this. It may be that a small amount of use results in an apparent large drop, when it has actually dropped from 90% not 100%.

Bump charging, to maintain 100% is a proven battery killer.
[HD2 Android SD Development] stim141:
Strange driver problem or crash?!!

This only happened ONCE so I'm not sure whats going on. This has NEVER happened on any other prior build.

Phone was in standby for several hours - had about 12% battery remaining. Had received a phone call during standby. Pressed power button and the screen looked segmented/bars. Seemed frozen - pressed power button and it turned display off. Pressed again - would not return. Green LED lit the entire time as were the hard buttons. Had to pull battery. Didn't happen again. Only thing installed was Button Savior - nothing else.

Missing Market App in 4/7

I stayed up late last night getting the very latest (4/6) version installed. It is always a bit like Christmas playing with a new install. Today lo and behold there is another!! Downloaded it and fired it up.

I have always let the a new data.img be built by the new version. This time when everything came up and I tapped the Market icon, nothing happened. Hmmmm, I went to the list of apps and Market wasn't there. Very odd! Fortunately, I still had my 4/6 on another SD card and grabbed the data.img file from it.

I am up and running with 4/7 but was curious if it might have been something I did (or didn't do). I am not an expert, but have be following this thread for quite a while and have had great fun and success with it.

Dave
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Still nothing, so what is next to test? I can try with a new data.img and restore from TB as my sd-ext backup is no more.
[HD2 Android SD Development] SkippyDogg:
This happened to me a while ago. Just use file explorer and navigate to System>App and find "vending.apk" and launch it from there.
[HD2 Android SD Development] benpaddlejones:
No problem with my work Exchange or Hotmail Exchange, both are 2010. Is it an issue configuring or a sync issue.

[HD2 Android SD Development] worldishis:
Thanks Cope, AmeriCanAndroid, Warren and others. I havent posted much and I attribute that to being able to read and follow instructions well ;) Buuuuut Im stumped. Im running the April 2nd rom and recently I set up the SD partition to ext3 then upgraded with gparted to ext4 and the rom worked flawlessly and the swap was working.

The trouble came when I flashed magdlr and clockworkmod and tried to boot off of sd from magdlr. I renamed the "rootfs.img.sdmagldr" to rootfs.img and put it in sdcard/android along with the new startup.txt. Now when I try to boot from sd in magdlr it gives the error "SD kernel open failed." That error screen also is looking for the zimage in "k:/zimage like its supposed to be in the root directory but the instructions didnt say anything about that and I have a feeling thats not the reason its not booting anyways. I dont want to mount the sd and try it for fear of screwing up something. Now that the system partition has been flashed Im a little more nervous with screwing with things.

Am I missing something? All help would be appreciated!

p.s. Oh yeah btw I have searched this thread and the 3 help faqs for the keywords zimage and magdlr, but I havent found anything at all really talking about booting from magdlr. Surely somebody has done this correctly hence the sdmagdlr folder?
[HD2 Android SD Development] worldishis:
BTW when I partitioned the SD card I relabeled it "HD2 Droid (F:)" is bootup looking for a set drive label like the K drive in the error message?
[HD2 Android SD Development] daniel_kiefer:
Did you specify which directory to look in from magldr?
[HD2 Android SD Development] worldishis:
Yes, I did do the "services/bootsettings/ad sd dir" to specify but its going right back to main menu?

EDIT: Ok, after changing the settings to "always got to menu when booting" then resetting it is now bringing me to a screen that says: (see below) when going to the "ad sd dir" setting in boot settings.

Select Directory:

<.>

After selecting the <.> (as that is the only option) it brings me back to main menu, then when I try to boot from sd it brings me back to that same error message as before.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
when i was updating the rootfs I missed a few entries. one of them being to initalize run-parts to exec init.d/ SCRIPTS. Same for shutdown..

so this is why bk2sd is not working ;)

the builds modules arnt being loaded

thats why the mirror on sd-ext isnt being maintained

why your uninstalled apps keep showing up after reboot

various other .. required for proper functionality...

this effects non bkup2sd users also.... i advise everyone (magldr users also) to update with the attachment asap.

thanks for the heads up .. i figured something wastn right. in the mean time ... all you need is the updated rootfs. ill package both the magldr and sd rootfs's up and post a link for you.. just replace the one you have with the new one.

here you go.

[HD2 Android SD Development] worldishis:
Wow. Talk about fast, thanks Cope. Your awesomeness is only exceeded by your superior intelligence sir!
[HD2 Android SD Development] worldishis:
While I cant confirm if the new rootfs.img has fixed the problems above; seemingly it hasnt fixed the issue of booting from SD in magdlr. It seems like magdlr cant find the directory to even open up the new rootfs.img so it might be another problem altogether. Thats my hunch (which doesnt mean much I might add)

Ill be playing Tetris :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] haihazin:
Hix, the notification light flashing green light when turn on the phone and never turn off. How can i disable it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] cncheng:
I also use magldr boot from SD function and no problem of using this build (both 0402 and 0407).
[HD2 Android SD Development] clarkg:
You can read the first post... which contains a link to the FAQ and tells you to read it. Do that and you'll be fine. Don't do it and everyone here will shout at you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] worldishis:
Really? I wonder where I went wrong. I'll have to mess with it again here in a few minutes. Thank you

Re: temporary BSOD...

My radio is 2.15.50.14, so I don't think that's an issue. (and others had more current radios as well). I have a class 10 16GB card - I've heard mixed opinions on the Class 10 cards. I'll try this newest release and see if that helps. Otherwise, I'll try the program to eliminate the screen lock and thus the wakeup lag. I might spring for a smaller volume card with a reasonable class speed, not 10...

I noted one other oddity which might be unique to the 04/02 build. When I sent text messages, it showed that they were sent, but they showed up WAY late to people I sent them to. However, it was not consistent. Those issues are hard to diagnose. I'm hoping this version might have changed whatever caused that because it wasn't a problem i was aware prior to that build.

I have to give props. I moved my data.img file out and replaced the file (and the rootfs file), but i forgot to put my data.img back in the folder. I cannot believe how quickly that loaded the new version in and generated the new data.img!! I think we're talking less than 10 minutes total. amazing...

Catch you all soon,

Kris

[HD2 Android SD Development] habibjamil:
Hi,

I am not a noob and I read all the FAQ; my Q is regarding bkup2sdext features and how it can be used to upgrade to a new version of AmeriCanAndroid.

My SD is partitioned as per the recommendation in the first post i.e. FAT32, EXt3, & Linux Swap. And I do follow the steps mentioned there.

However, let's say I was running the Apr 2 version and I want to upgrade to the Apr 7 version; what are the EXACT steps I need to do in order to make the most use of these feature? What is the best practice?

I tried different scenarios such as replacing the new data.img with my existing one; I tried with and without formatting Ext3 first.

Any help?
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
First, you should use a file explorer like ES File Explorer and check if backup is really working. There should be several folders in your sd-ext partition.

If that's Ok, you just erase your old Android folder and copy the new build to your sd card.

If you let it create a new data.img, your apps will be copied from your backup automatically.

But of course you don't have to create a new data.img. You can always try to use the old one, unless stated otherwise on first page. Whichever way you choose, always make a backup of your old Android folder, just in case.
[HD2 Android SD Development] habibjamil:
Thanks for the helpful info; is there any way to verify if the backup worked for ALL apps? I have over 139 apps (according to Titanium) but the size of the Ext3 partition is around 25MB, which is very suspicious. And if, the backup is not working, is there a way to force it to work?

BTW, I saw the update about rootfs.img and applied.

Thanks for the advice, to be on the safe side, I always backup using Titanium and also take a copy of my existing data.img.

battery drain

hi, im getting around 60 plus ma for battery drain, read the FAQ and to no avail because there is no such file in system, how do i reduce the battery drain? please advise
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Verifying, hm, no idea. As I said, you could use a file explorer and have a look at your sd-ext partition/folder. Your apps should be there. But aside from counting them, there is nothing you can do to check if they are all there.

If it isn't working, you'll have to wait for cope. He created it, he knows it is working.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
This still doesn't fix it.

update rootfs - reboot - still nothing on sd-ext

change ame back to apDogmtrle in files - reboot - still nothing on sd-ext

restore 4Apr backup and apply 7apr update with new rootfs - same as before - powers off after green HTC screen - second reboot is normal, but no shut down and nothing on sd-ext.

fotmat ext3 partition again (in case all this rebooting has corrupted it) - still no go... :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Same here. I formatted the sd-ext partition before I put on the new build. I've let it create a new data.img. Then I restored with Titanium. After that cope came up with the new rootfs. Put that on and have rebooted a couple of times since then, but my sd-ext is still empty.

But I'm not using it anyway. So, no problem for me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
With 139 apps your backup should be at least 200MB.

Even with the update backup2sd-ext still appears to be broken :(

We will need to wait for Cope's timezone for anything further...
[HD2 Android SD Development] habibjamil:
Same here too.
[HD2 Android SD Development] cncheng:
I use 2 different SD card for WP7 and Android. May be not the same as you.

Also, I have the similar problem before (not this build), I backup the files, format the SD card again and copy back the files to the SD card with the original files again. Then it works.

Problem in Contacts Restore

I tried this build 4/7 but i'm facing some problems below:

1- i restored spritebackup application using Titanium backup but when i tried to restore my contacts i got this error "The backup file you selected cannot be read"

2- Green LED is always on.

3- Icons is too small and i need to increase it.

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
1. not sure

2. read FAQ on page 1

3. sdcard/Android/240buildprop/build.prop copy and replace at root/system/build.prop
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I don't know about spritebackup, but isn't easier to sync your contacts with Google.

The other questions have been asked repeatedly, so a search would find the answers, but before doing that I suggest you read post #1 and the FAQ.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Since you are already using Titanium for backup of your apps, why don't you also let it backup your contacts?
[HD2 Android SD Development] man_hero:
Titanium backup can't backup contacts with pictures and other details and same as Google sync so i use SpriteBackup.

I always do these steps in other builds and always working fine, this is the first time i'm facing this problem.

Data moving with 040711 and partitioned card

Right... I've been searching for an hour for this now it's time to post. I've just repartitioned my card according to Cope's instructions (which worked) and now every time I reboot most of the folders are moved from /Android/data (I think to /system/data/data). The last I remember is that this was removed but it's happening to me now. It's only started since the drive repartition but it stops quite a few programs I have from working.

I remember there was a work around to disable it but can't find it now. Can anyone who has the details pass them on to me?

EDIT: Confirmed... I've found all the folders that should (i.e. the apps expect them to be there and need them) be in /android/data in /data/data. I have copies on my pc si I can put them back but it's a bit of a PITA.

EDIT 2: OK, so I deleted the Ext partition and it's stopped. I only really wanted the swap partition to get the better performance anyway so all good.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shost:
Yes it can be
[HD2 Android SD Development] yuhenyo:
niicee.. one question though, I'm planning to dual boot my Leo to wp7 and android. I'm currently on a NAND android build. Could I transfer my settings, contacts, apps, etc from the old android to this build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] whatevaUsay:
Is there a kernel I can use that will work with this build and allow me to overclock? I know, I know "OMG dude, OC is bad for your phone""Dawg, why do ya wanna overclock, this is a fast build!!11!" I've got my reasons. Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android SD Development] venomhtchd2:
excuse me, does it have the "locations app" like what i have in my desire HD build? thnks in advance.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PINki92:
I think yes, with TitaniumBackup.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Contacts and apps should be possible but I wouldn't try settings, not even when your NAND ROM is a Cyanogenmod ROM.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Both, Titanium and Google worked fine for me, several times. Do you think I would suggest it, if I hadn't tried successfully myself?

Hi guys seem to be having trouble getting a gps lock any tips ??
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Yes couple of hundred posts back, a user modified the zImage and built a new file for the wifi- that was back on 2904 build tho, not sure of its compatibility on 0704.

Warren is currently working on a new kernel atm, so hopefully this includes OC for those who want to use it.

search for it :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Have you changed the startup.txt to your location?

default is "gps_zone=us"
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
just done that found the FAQ so just trying again for a lock now
[HD2 Android SD Development] yuhenyo:
can you use a NAND kernel with this build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
good luck :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
as far as I know that does not work, this setting is not used by this build.

Try fasterfix from market to set the correct zone in gps.conf and also get gps status which will download a-gps data, much like quick gps in winmo did...

And then wait for your first fix, can take several minutes. Subsequent fixes should be a lot faster.
[HD2 Android SD Development] yuhenyo:
where do i put the Titanium Backup folder??
