I can post screenshots to verify this info. Do you NEED me to?

Daniel you're a little bit right, but mostly wrong (posting those first two apps and NONE of the EA Games are compatible) - you should have the same access to these apps that I do. Dig a little deeper, maybe recheck your edits.

Seems to me; It's an imperfect world we live in. It's not about being right or wrong, just about what IS. And part of what is... is that you have greater market access and availability now, than you did before. If you need to have absolute perfection in your life (try to find it inside of yourself, and no, I don't mean that as a challenge), it's not out there in this world.

Good luck & Regards, -Rob

Like I said, I was just making an observation. I can also share a screen shot or two of my own ;) I'm thinking it may have to do with using LCD Density. I thought I could have my screen sized the way I want and still leave the build.prop at 240, guess not. I'll check tomorrow to see if that's the culprit.

Well, the first thing that smacked me right on the head was "240" - I do not have it set to that, never even thought of it. Help, why should the market care what my screen density is set to!?

oK, will try it tomorrow.. thanks!

Device wake up issue ..

[HD2 Android SD Development] MarkAtHome:
I have kept my eyes on this thread pretty much from the beginning. It is my SD ROM of choice, but have not used it since deciding to go NAND (well before ACA recently added NAND).

I have noticed that there has been little mention of third party apps/utils/modules that fix market links for you.

I do not recall exactly if this was something I had to address when using SD ROMs, but I have since been using such apps, and after running one, I have not had a problem downloading whatever I selected for my TMO HD2.

FWIW, I have not used an app made solely for this purpose, instead discovering this feature in more feature rich apps not specifically intended for this purpose.

I have had success using this feature in Chainfire3D and Root Toolbox, to name just two.

FWIW, I am currently using TyphooN CM7 v3.4.0, which appears as HTC HD2.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Samh1206:
I am having a bit of a problem...

I am trying to use an older data.img that I have from another ROM, for some reason the phone loops every time I try to use it.

Do you have any ideas why it isn't working?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dttung80:
I have USB problem of ACA build SD:

When i use Usb connect to copy some large files, after finhish, i ejected from PC, then press disconnect from my HD2.

Ok

Use HD2 as normal, but my phone hangup after use 1 program.

Must be pull battery. After restart, i found my Data size is 0 byte. And my SDHC card have bad clusters, must be checked by PC.

I have this problem for 3-4 times. I must be copy on Windows Mobile platform then boot ACA.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rpstter:
Ditto for me. I was not able to get a quick GPS lock until I manually updated the GPS libs to v2. Now it's within 15 secs from a cold start.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Well, that is very unlikely to work.

Imagine you get a heart transplant from a person with incompatible blood. You would pretty much loop straight away, too.

Use a backup tool to save your apps and restore them to a fresh aca data.img, that will be created when there is no data.img in the android folder during first boot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Data images from different roms are not interchangeable. You should let the new rom create its own data image.

I am having the same observation.

Cope, Warren could you please check the implementation of GPS libs V2 in SD version 0817.

Can we use different builds of warrenb's kernels with different builds by cope?

Try changing the min CPU speed from 128 to 245 in CM Settings or in SetCPU (if you use it). Maybe it'll help.

You mean you'd like to use say 0817 build with kernel from older one? Why would you do it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] JMG01:
I'd like to know if the VPN issue is with cm or the Kernel. Looks like cm.

Build 0705 VPN OK

Build 0707 VPN OK

Build 0708 VPN OK (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15499390&postcount=12099)

(with and without extra bits).

All of those connect with PPTP. And the alogcat shows Starting pppd (pppox = 12).

Whereas:

Build 0711 does not.

EDIT::: 0711 works it was 0715 and onwards that don't.

I know build 0711 should have the same Kernal as the others, but unless someone can point me to the code changes for cm between 0707 and 0711, all I can think of is trying different combinations of warrenb and cope's builds.

EDIT::: Since it was 0715 that stopped, and since it had a new Kernel.....

I recall some discussion on folks using other Kernels, so guess it can be done.

That said, I think something was changed in cm, but all this android stuff is still new to me. And yes, a build like 0817 with VPN would make me very happy.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
clicked the wrong button, i hit thanks instead of quote.:mad:

That is discouraged here but you are free to try, just don't expect any official support other than whatever anyone feels like offering.

Same goes with using your existing data.img. You should always use a new one, but this build has been pretty friendly to re-using them. Just don't take it as the norm. If something doesn't work because of an old data.img, don't expect any official support other than some kind soul who feels like personally troubleshooting your issue.

If the idea of using a new data image most of the time bothers you, don't update your build then.

I have been using 7/27 for awhile now. Not much tinkering, just actually using the thing as a smartphone. I think I found a better media player than QQ Player... ArcMedia. I used it before but the capabilities were lacking, but the new updated version has a lot of features including streaming from samba shares. =) Check it out guys!

upping the min CPU speed is a good idea! The overall responsiveness of the CPU is going to be determined more by the Governor you choose to use. Ondemand (or even better), Interactive, are your best choices.

[HD2 Android SD Development] daniel_kiefer:
Rob, I'm back on 240 density and the games I mentioned last night are available now. I guess screen density is key. I suppose now if I want to download something I'll have to revert to 240 if it says it's incompatible.
[HD2 Android SD Development] lantern20:
Lots of data drops for me on 0817.
[HD2 Android SD Development] NYLimited:
Interestingly enough there is also something in TitaniumBackup Pro about it though I have not played with it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] NYLimited:
Interesting, and perhaps common sense, though being relatively new here I would not have guessed this. I am guessing that you would simply delete the file before upgrading, yes?

On the other hand, don't the upgrade instructions simply state copy everything? :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] NYLimited:
While the 240 may indeed be a key or required item I did change my setup to 240, rebooted and saw the change. But the market ignored it, nonetheless. I don't know what the missing variable is - too many changes within the ROM?

Don't know, Daniel seems to have fixed most of his market issues. Mark (above) posted some viable alternatives and maybe you should look into them.

I can only suggest (re: the Vision editing), after you made your editing changes for lcd_density; Did you log out, and back into the market on your device? Did you change your ro.product.locale.region(to)=us instead of leaving it blank? Did you edit your market settings on the PC for the Nickname, and have it shown in menus, logging out & then back in to verify the changes stuck?

You'll get it somehow. At least I hope you do. -Rob

(edit) BTW, I've discovered that the desktop (PC) editing changes don't take effect until you've downloaded something first from the device. Then logging out of the PC & then back in and re-editing the PC edits - if necessary - WILL work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
I don't agree with this. I think that standard policy has been to use the old data images unless the devs specifically counsel to NOT use it (like when there is a change ala 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 or when there is a major change in the build for some other reason.) I think that you can try a new image when you run into some bizarre problem in loading a new build, and frequently this advice is offered.

Glad to hear if others disagree. ~Kris
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Market

Got a question here...if you modify the build.prop to change the model of the phone, and you are able to get programs downloaded from Market (because it thinks you have the "right" model), the next time you load a new build and new data image, especially if you use Titanium, you don't lose those programs, right?

I ask because I don't really want to edit the build prop file each and every time i install an update to the build...thanks, ~Kris

[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
No you won't lose any programs if and when you upgrade the build. I promise. :) And keeping your Titanium backups fresh is always a good idea. If and when you do change the build, you

will

have to re-edit the build.prop.

I've edited a small number of fields, maybe more than really necessary... but I've read that only two fields necessary to edit are the locale.region=us (it's typically left blank, for obvious reasons) and the lcd_density MUST be set to 240.

Editing is easy. Is it necessary? I'm not really sure, but I do it anyway.
[HD2 Android SD Development] MarkAtHome:
There really isn't much to play with. You either click the option or you don't. ;-)
[HD2 Android SD Development] daniel_kiefer:
Agreed with Rob. I haven't had any problems restoring from Titanium, even with discontinued apps.
[HD2 Android SD Development] NYLimited:
Argh! I *thought* I posted something but I don't see it so here it goes again.. Keep in mind I am still learning so some of this is likely not news to many in here.

I did

everything

and nothing helped. The Market wasn't even registering my changes after a while although I could easily verify on the HD2 that they were made. So, having flashed too many ROMs (though not Android ones) I decided to start over clean. I made a copy of my SD card and I did a complete backup with TitaniumBackup Pro.

I wiped everything Android related from the card.

Modified startup.txt to have 240 density and 2048 for data.img (more on this later) and installed the current version.

I immediately went to the Market (with absolutely no changes to anything) and everything was available! Either the 240 density or the clean install - take your pick.

I restored everything with TB and I was, essentially, back to where I started from except with a new data.img and a working Market! Everything continues to work.

I don't know if something got corrupted on my end with the many changes or if the Market gives up after too many changes. Some day when I am adventurous again I will change my density and see if it makes a difference. Not today. :)

A couple of side notes for those who are new like myself. There are things which are not spelled out even in the FAQs so we have learn the hard way. For instance, I tried to change my data.img size in the past but it did not change. I am guessing that I should have simply deleted it before upgrading but I just assumed (yeah, I know) that changing startup.txt before the upgrade would take care of it. :(

TitaniumBackup brought back nearly everything... Some of the things it did not restore were the desktop wallpaper and some Kaiten Email settings (this may also apply to K-9 email, not sure). Although it restored all widgets none of them actually worked - they had to be deleted and placed back in order to work again (all their settings were, however, correctly restored).

Anyway, I am running on a clean install with pretty much everything working now! :cool:

Thanks to everyone for the many suggestions and tips!
[HD2 Android SD Development] NYLimited:
Correct, you do not lose them. However, you don't seem to need those changes at all - see my note above this one...
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
I think both. A clean install and fresh data.image does wonders. :) It's good to know the lcd_density is probably (or, possibly) all that's necessary!

BTW, I had a similar experience with Ti b/u. No big deal restoring the small stuff. :)

Very pleased (for you) that you have it all working.

BTW (again), I've thrown away my HD2 'Vision' - for experimental purposes - and replaced it with an HD2 'Sensation'. (Hah Lol), - it's a newer device, thought it might make a difference. But, no... it's still the same as before (about) 99% accessibility. With the next upgrade, I'm going to do the bare minimum of what you did - if it does the same, I'll still be a happy boy. :)

It seems to be a CM issue:

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3353

I posted this a few days ago and I'm monitoring it to see if a CM dev picks it up and checks out the code commits from when it broke. I'd suggest that anyone here who wants to see vpn fixed, follow the link and "star" the issue. That will make it more likely to get noticed... and you'll get updates on it's progress.
[HD2 Android SD Development] NYLimited:
Umm.. Just what does that exactly accomplish? Getting a high TY count, that is...

ACA NAND version?

Not that I am ready for it at the moment but I keep seeing occasional references to running ACA in NAND.

I must be really tired but I cannot for the life of me identify that thread... :o

Would some kind soul take pity on me and point me to the NAND thread so I can do a little reading there as well?
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:
I'm sometimes too sarcastic for my own good. I edited out that line, and didn't even notice your post about it moments later. And to and your question, after all the years on as many forums as I've posted on... the numbers don't mean sh%t. How's that for honesty?

but... some numbers ARE good numbers, and I guess '240' was your magic number. :D Yeah, I can have a warped sense of humor, but I try and do more good than harm. It's one small thing I am successful at. That's a fact!

VPN - Working! well almost....

With a fresh install of 0817 Build, but.... using zimage from 0705.

VPN connects with phone data. Wifi has an error and wont work at all.

With this I can connect to VPN servers with PPTP.

This is

NOT

a fix. Nothing else is tested. Due to WiFi issue I can't use it like this. It's just a test.

It

may

show that the problem with VPN is in zImage (the Kernel?).

the zImage I used, is from 06.30.2011 and has size 1610 KB (in winxp).

I only changed the zImage from build 0817, nothing else.

The same zImage appeared in several Builds, eg 0705, 0707, 0708 (maybe more).

Android version	2.3.5

Baseband version	15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14

Kernel version	2.6.32.15-gfe73a43-dirty root@VBOX-ACA#58

It's interesting to note that after pages of discussion on market issues, the conclusion is that Google are getting the cut off point wrong in there attempts to differentiate between a phone and a tablet in preparation for the Ice cream release. It seems that if you use 167dip that you have a small tablet rather than a big phone :)

[HD2 Android SD Development] JMG01:
What is a "deermination":confused:

-----------------------

Otherwise, I'd like to agree that the signal quality may be reducing in newer roms, but it's difficult to tell. Still, if a rom can change signal strength, it could be the reason for an issue I am having.

-----------------------

Other otherwise, on VPN I am again confused. A WarrenB zImage from 0630 does make VPN (but only vpn:() work on 0817 build. On the other hand, the zImage 0630 wont give me VPN with ACA builds, but the same is used in [7/Aug/'11]-[SD/MAG][JaguarMIUI-14][ACA725][GB 2.3.5][WWE+RTL]-[SENSE 3 LOCK ;)]

And that works with VPN.

-----------------------

Other Other Otherwise, where is everyone today?
[HD2 Android SD Development] clarkg:
WIFI probably doesn't work because you have (I assume) just swapped out the zimage file. There are other files, kernel modules, that come with it and need to match it for things like BT WIFI etc to work. They are in the system\lib\modules folder (inside the system.ext2 file in the build for each one). This is why kernel swapping is not encouraged because you need to know what you are doing ;-)

As I posted yesterday, this is probably a CM issue because it's affecting a lot of other builds based on it. Check my earlier post for the link to it in the issue register. It also doesn't work for me at the moment and I'm using another kernel (for different reasons that I won't go into again).
[HD2 Android SD Development] RobE.:

If you're a betting man; that number did work for you.

But I've dug a little deeper a learned a few things about android market accessibility on a converted HD2...

1) Maybe there are a few apps that can enable (mostly) complete market accessibility, without editing the build.prop - I heard a few mentioned - I haven't used any of them for that purpose so I don't know for sure.

2) Setting locale.region= (to what you need it to be, is helpful & sometimes necessary).

3) Editing the build.prop to have an lcd_density=240; works for some programs on the market. But that one, singular edit in itself

definitely

is not enough. You may be able to get some apps that weren't assessable to your device before; But there will still be apps listed as incompatible (that you should otherwise be able to get).

4) Editing a few fields in the build.prop is easy, but it has to be re-done with every build upgrade. 'Vision' isn't the only alias that works. 'Glacier' works, 'Sensation' also works, and probably some others that I'm not aware of. I most recently tried HTC Sensation - thinking... it's a newer device than Vision, and it's currently supported by (my carrier) T-Mobile.

When I used HTC Sensation as my build.prop alias, my taskbar widget (BMW) that shows current mAH (battery drain) got 'stuck' a 1mA - full time - no matter what the CPU load was.

My first thought was like... "Cool", my battery drain is the lowest I've ever seen - but I soon realized - something was broken. I don't know why this name change edit would affect the widgets ability to read the battery state. The technical reasons are beyond me... So I reverted back to 'Vision' as my HD2 alias. The mA widget is back to working properly.

Every time I made a change on the device, I also edited the device settings on my PC and downloaded apps on both the handheld and desktop to be sure that all of these alias's worked.

So now I'm certain (aside from other apps, that may accomplish the same purpose), a full build.prop file edit... removing references to HD2 & LEO, and substituting them with real Android device identities will, in my experience... give the most complete app market access (but not 100%). Some apps still show as incompatible, but very few. fwiw...

GPS overheating ???

Hello

I have been using ACA almost from the day one. I have had some issues (as others did) but they were also resolved. Thanks to ACA team and members of this thread.

I have never used GPS for longer than 10 minutes so I have never noticed anything wrong with it. Last week I decided to go on a road trip using GPS (Sygic and iGO). It worked fine with super fast fix .... for no longer than 25 minutes. Than the phone froze solid and got really hot. I thought it was the cause of the car charger so decided to use it without any charger in order to see if I was right. I was not. This time right after 22 minutes it froze solid and got really hot.

Tried it altogether 4 times with two different apps (iGO and Sygic, charger plugged and unplugged) with the same results: frozen solid and very hot.

Tried it under WinMo (moved back again to it from WP7 if interested) with iGO, iGO Primo, iGO Primo 1.2, Garmin, TomTom without a single problem. No freezing, no overheating.

I wonder whether it is the phone or the OS, is it only me or there are others and of course whether there is a solution to it or not.

Can anyone help?

TIA

GPS Overheating

I have the same problem. It started a couple months ago after a Google Maps update. I've tried different radios and I've tried throttling the CPU thru SetCPU, but nothing works. I get the same behavior from other programs, as well. It seems that anything that really exercises the CPU or is graphics intensive will lock up the device after a while. I'm beginning to suspect the SD card. (It's a class 2 PNY.) I'm hoping that the problem goes away when I switch over to NAND. I'll probably have time to do that over Labor Day weekend.
