No, I've been test driving it...
[HD2 Android SD Development] frumpy:
Ah, you guys are crazy.

The anticipation...! I'm quite literally on the edge of my hovercraft.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
The wait is worth it. No prox fix coming next but a evolutionary step. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Given a choice between a Swiss watch (think Rolex) and a German limo (think Benz) which one would you take? :cool:
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Warren is here!!!! And that step is more Revolutionary than Evolutionary....... :p
[HD2 Android SD Development] sids8065:
Awesome so far

It has been several days, and I have been totally windows free. Not even a reboot. The new build works fantastic. I mean every single feature that I have tried out. With the kind of speed and efficiency I am getting out of this SD build, I am not even worried about flashing and going to NAND :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
:)

here soon we will offer a few different routes. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Wait, IIRC, this proximity fix just disables it while on the phone and I for one DO NOT want that disabled. I'm not trying to hang up on people with my cheeks. If I am wrong about the implementation, then let me know.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
You are right about the implementation and that is the reason I am yet to try it. It is a kludge and not a proper solution. The aim has got to be for a working proximity sensor without the battery drain.

I am sure that this is the same reason why Warren says no prox fix yet.
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
My screen still turns off. Just when u pull the phone away from ur head it don't light up, u have to push a button to get the screen to light up. I have had it disabled for a few days now and haven't hung up on 1 person.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Hmmm. Interesting. I wonder what else the proximity sensor affects? Like does the auto-brightness use the sensor in anyway? I think I have some research to do. heh.

In other news, I installed Go Contacts since I used to use their SMS app. Man what a great interface. Between this and the Dolphin HD browser alternative, I am in UI heaven. I will start using goSMS again once the notification battery drain is fixed or circumvented somehow. And yes I want the popups and notifications, otherwise i wouldn't bother with the app and just use the stock one.

I wonder what the top mail apps are in this thread's opinion? I'm still using stock, which kinda blows and doesn't save my accounts even after a Titty Backup.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Cerisal:
I don't know if the proximity sensor is used with auto brightness, but it still works on my phone without the proximity sensor, so think not.
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheNT:
I use goSMS since it started, at least since i started with android...

Great app, can't turn back to stock anymore...

One thing maybee you can see.

Same ACA diferent kernell, no proximity sensor issues...

Waren maybee that helps somehow... reverse enginering :)

Maybee just extracting sensors file :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] general1977:
You understood my way of using (or rather not using) the GO SMS notifications correctly. I'll give your version a try. That would definitely boost usability.

Regards

Achim
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheNT:
swiss bank :cool:
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
I use stock and all my accounts are saved.

I believe k9 is popular, but a battery eater. I'm sure geenyous will let you know what he found to replace it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Hmmm. Do you know specifically what entry houses the account info because I have tried multiple times and that never got transferred over. At this point I do hope it was repeated user error. Easier to fix than patching TB, heh.
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheNT:
I use TouchDown...

great mail app.
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
I'd check System data / Accounts first
[HD2 Android SD Development] newbietruly:
JustX, give "Kaiten Mail" a try if you like K-9 before. I use GO Contacts and GO SMS on a regular basis and they're great.

As for hung-up calls after applying proximity sensor tweak, I have NOT experienced that.

Well, Cope and Warren did evolve our HD2s from so-so WM to super Android, right? It is evolutionary indeed! :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] Tubgirl:
Battery life is INSANE without the prox sensor... I don't miss the sensor one bit :):)
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
You are a wise man. And for your wisdom you will end up getting both a Swiss watch and a German limo. The choice is entirely yours whether to carry a German girl or a Swiss girl in the CLK>>>>>>>>> :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
No, it's not there. I think TB misses it. I was referring to my old data.img

Now I'm using TB in my new German car, I find I have to set my email accounts up from scratch :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] RAMBO29:
Hi

Good ROM.

When I try to use Voltage control to control the CPU and to increase the voltage, it says Kernel not supported.Anyway to update it?

Thnx
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
Does it work with any other hd2 android build
[HD2 Android SD Development] frumpy:
And are you finding that the proximity sensor has been disabled? If not, how is battery life after a call? In your new German car I mean (nudge nudge)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
It's not run in yet. Far too early to report on those things, but it does go well :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
are you referring to gmail app or to email app? never had any problem with restoring gmail, not using the latter though (all other mail accounts I have are just linked to gmail)
[HD2 Android SD Development] RAMBO29:
The app says there is a list of Kernels

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1107468
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
We were referring to email accounts. There's nothing to restore with GMail as it's a Google sync.
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
Email app

Unfortunately I have nothing to report.

After k-9 gave me a horrible drain I tried MailDroid but didnt like it much, it froze and had sync issues.

After the limited feedback to my post here in the thread I decided its not worth too many hours of searching and I stuck with the stock app, but its really a pain in the ass to flick through my 200+ folders of my work account all in one list as folder strucutre browsing is not supported...

But the main issue I had with the app, that you dont seem to see all the contacts if the mail is sent to several seems to have been fixed.
[HD2 Android SD Development] pointforward:
extreme noob question, but can anyone please tell me how you guys can tell the mA of the battery? I keep seeing references to 5 mA and such and I have no clue how you can actually get that.

I am on Tmobile US and I love the heck out of this rom, but unfortunately my house is in an area of low signal, so my battery drains like crazy. This is odd because in WinMo, battery drain isn't a problem at all. I'm assuming that this proximity sensor issue has something to do with it, but if anyone has any suggestions, feel free to tell me. I'm using the latest stock TmoUS rom & radio.
[HD2 Android SD Development] xavierh:
Battery widget in the android apps store
[HD2 Android SD Development] reijkelhof:
I use the free 'battery monitor widget' from android market to view mA usage.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Bazzz66:
Once we were all noobs, and still we (certainly I am) are sometimes noobs.

You got to learn stuff..

Have a look in the market and search for Battery Monitor Widget, install and make a widget on your screen. ;)

Good luck

3x an answer in a few minutes!!! Great
[HD2 Android SD Development] AGrigorov:
It's awesome. No drainage at all. At least for me. My phone was charged 16 hours ago. I've made about 15 calls (2-3 minutes each) and made some browsing, and now it shows 70%. I made no restarts or anything during these 16 hours. No unintended button presses with cheek, nose, bottom or anything else near the face.
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Damn, so Current Widget is no longer good in the hood eh?
[HD2 Android SD Development] pointforward:
Thank you guys for the amazingly swift responses! You're all awesome!

The current was at 260 and now it's down to 130 mA.. obviously not good at all.

As for the proximity sensor issue, I've gone back 20 pages and there appears to be various ways to disable it as a temporary fix for the battery drain. What's the easiest/most fool-proof way? and from my understanding somebody was able to still have it turn off when phone is on your ear but you would have to push a button to wake it up, which would be great for me. How can I do that?
[HD2 Android SD Development] reijkelhof:
you are probably reading the 'screen on' mA, which can even go much higher while the phone is being used.

the 5 mA thing is a standby reading.

Leave the phone lying for an hour or so, then check the 'history' tab in 'Battery Monitor Widget' to see what has been used while the phone was in standby.

I am currently back full ACA, and warren did an amazing job with battery drain in the 15 jul build.

Just hoping on 1 more issue to be solved and it is really golden.
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
ok, so just to check how TB works I registered one account in Email app, then made full TB backup (apps + system data), then deleted the account + reboot; after reboot it was gone, then I managed to retrieve it in following way:

- kill the Email app (not sure if necessary)

- TB Preferences: Backup Settings / System apps deselected (so only system apps data is backed up)

- then: Batch / Restore all system data / Deselect all + check only the box at "Email 2.3.4", now press "Run the batch operation" and it was back

hope it works for you as well
[HD2 Android SD Development] newbietruly:
Just had a buddy send me a mms

and the picture looks fine. Did you guys put "NexusOne" as the custom agent and not "Nexus One".
[HD2 Android SD Development] RAMBO29:
Is there any way to disable the automatic updates of Google apps like Google books,Google maps etc.i tried everything I know.
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
Titanium Backup has an option to mass enable/disable market autoupdates - menu / More / Market autoupdates (or similar name)
[HD2 Android SD Development] xavierh:
Same here. The only issues is that the rotation (switching from portrait to landscape) does not work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Thanks, but I did try the red "Email 2.3.4" without success.
[HD2 Android SD Development] p107r0:
probably all (or most) Email app settings are stored in the folder \data\data\com.android.email,

I tried manual backup/restore - copying to SD Card, then deleting the account in the app, then copying the folder back to \data\data - and it seems to have worked (for me)
[HD2 Android SD Development] hensond67:
Yea you're right. My bad. It's been so long since I've switched builds. I've been using 4/27 this whole time and didn't need to do the user agent thing for a while now. Totally forgot that there is NO space between the two words

Warren & cope,

Thanks a lot for this great build, but the GPS can't locate properly, it just keep telling me the location is not available. Do I need to edit the startup.txt to change the GPS region to Australia?

Thanks a ton.
[HD2 Android SD Development] redjama:
Tried jpg and bmp, says invalid when uploading. Says not a valid img format
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
No u need to mod the GPS.conf file.

Another thing we want autoset in a future release based on a startup var
[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
Under settings>call settings>hide call screen when screen on for incoming calls.

Also, try going to settings>sound>volume>select to use different volume levels for notifications and calls the turn notification volume up and call ring volume down.

I know this isn't EXACTLY what you wanted but it might help a little bit.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kushXmaster:
You can also just change by going to settings>cyanogenMod settings>performance>cpu settings. From here set governor to "interactive" and min frequency to 245. This has always worked fine for me.

Hope this helped!
[HD2 Android SD Development] sanju.b80:
I've done the same thing. copied the attached file to sdcard\root\system\lib\hw and restarted twice.

But the proximity sensor does not turn off. It still works when i make a call, and the screen still turns off.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sanju.b80:
Thanks, but thats actually not at all what i want.

By call silence, i meant there was a button that I click and the call becomes silent. Something like that currently can be done with the volume buttons. But wish there was a click button for it on the screen.
[HD2 Android SD Development] naturesbless:
magLDR does not read the directory in the SD card.

The directory name is Android. I checked to make sure that it is on the SD card and it is.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sanju.b80:
I think its time for a reformat of your SD and a reinstall of MagLDR. Sorry.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sacredabyss:
Where is the GPS.conf file? I searched Android folder but can't find it.

@me is sad ...... 10 years? man........... :(((((((((((((
[HD2 Android SD Development] sanju.b80:
If you have done everything as per the first post, moved the rootfs.img and startup.txt files to the android folder and taken care of most of the things, i dont know any other way to help you out.

May be the other senior citizens here would be able to help. I suggest you hold on to the reformatting thing till someone suggests something really brilliant or something really stupid that actually works out for you. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] knnrsk:
You may have little too many folders on your card from app installations, magldr cant see it.try deleting couple unnecessary ones, and your android will show.
[HD2 Android SD Development] sanju.b80:
Thats sad. :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] gillgrylls:
i had problems getting MAGLDR to recognize my Android build so I went to the Menu option AD SD Dir and set my directory there and that fixed it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
lol recessions suck. :-P

i mean hell, ya'll should develop a bigger space program since your money is worth more now hahaha. :-P
[HD2 Android SD Development] naturesbless:
Yeah, I know... the problem is that MAGLDR isn't even recognizing the build exists... haha ^ ^;

EDIT: Reformatted the SD and reflashed MAGLDR. It works now!! Thank you for the help guys!
[HD2 Android SD Development] nzxtneo:
Right, but the changelog never mentioned the build being updated when the AmeriCanAndroid username pulled the first 02/26 release because it had some missing files.

So when you said:

It kinda sound like there was a choice that we could choose whether or not to have bckup2sdext disabled.

And when you said:

I didn't think it would hurt to ask, but apparently I was wrong.

sigh....

Gallery

This is my daily use build but I have had to make one change to make it so.

The 3D Gallery app is a real problem for me. I takes an age to load (even on a newly formatted SD) and creates loads of 0 KB files in the DCIM .thumbnail folder. These then seem to create file check errors every time Android loads and fill the SD card with FSCK files. To solve I deleted the 3D Gallery out of the system/apps folder and placed a 2D gallery apk in the AndroidApps folder.

Only issue with the older Gallery is that it shows everything and does not group images into folders
[HD2 Android SD Development] PINki92:
OK, I deleted the partitions, now it's normal SD card. Still can't get it working. In services I can't change the dir. Only have the <.> sign.

Can some one help me? I'm running wp7 on nand with other SD card. I have AD on another card.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hoangtu2410:
can anybody tell me this version kernel support extend battery or not ? if not , how can i do to my hd2 work with 2300mah battery ? because i feel my battery drains very fast like original battery :( . Many thanks for any helps :(
[HD2 Android SD Development] RicarduZonta:
Thanks for this wonderful build!

I am using it with Launcher Pro plus for the sense like widgets + Beautiful widgets super clock. Very responsive, fast, reliable, smooth.

For me:

-3d gallery app fast/smooth and beautiful

-no robo voice at all

-no volume problems at all

-wifi fast and stable

-app isntalls are superfast

-no data corruption and lost settings after restart or battery pull

-green tint with flash fixed with the fix posted(read back some pages)

-changed lcddensity back to normal according to FAQ, didn't like the dialer and some apps being smaller than the screen. Otherwise it would look very cool with spacey homescreen

-can't give feedback on data, don't have a data plan, deleted apn settings instantly

-All major and popular programs run without problems (gameloft HD games, etc)

-5-8-10MaH in standby with gps/wifi/autosync disabled for hours without going up for a second. Around 200Mah while navigating in menu 25% brightness. (with htc sense builds it was over 400Mah!!!). Under 100Mah while listening to music with screen off (Power amp)

-I love the battery info with the scales under About phone. Is this a gingerbread feuture?

-Great to have around 200Mb memory to use for Nfs and stuff

Couldn't find any major dealbreaking issues so far, HAPPY!

I can't focus while recording videos. Is this a normal feature of the build or an issue?

I do recommend installing this one!

Thanks again for the time and effort you guys put into this.

Green Camera Tint

Thanks Green Tint Fixed:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] RicarduZonta:
It doesn't give correct readings, so from 100-60 it seem to drain very very fast, but it slows down. It spends lot of time in the 20 zone. In the end you will pull way longer with the extended one. Don't use a percentage app or widget, itt will only drive you crazy. Charge it up fully and if you last more than 24 hours with moderate use you are FINE!

All sync manual, gps off, wifi off. I use green power to kill wifi/data when screen off so device can sleep properly, this saves a hell of a lot battery for me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] rweitsz:
Thanks, This fix worked for me. Copied the file to SD Card\Android\Root\System\lib No more green tint.
[HD2 Android SD Development] hoangtu2410:
thanks u very much , i will try again and post result soon . By the way , do u think i should try other kernel in this topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=948181 , i am a new guy here and i'm afraid of making my HD2 become a brick , thanks again .

P/S : what do u mean "green power" ? i don't know about it , i turned off wifi setting and u said it's still on when screen off , right ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] RicarduZonta:
You shouldn't change the kernel here I guess, this build works properly. Green power is a free app in the market. You can get green power to turn data/wifi off when you turn the screen off, so the phone doesn't update, search for new wifi hotspots this way it will sleep like a baby. You can also download currentwidget to monitor how much power your battery is eating. With screen off for a couple of minutes you should have 5-12Mah which is fine.

Just follow the faq to change LCDdensity, find the green tint fix in this forum, install led me know from market and you should have a perfect build.

If you install SD builds only it is not likely, that you brick your phone.

If you are a rookie don't start playing with nand builds, that is thin ice even for experienced users.

It is also a good idea to turn sense off in Winmo and put the phone in airplane mode before booting android.

Updating a partition SD Card

Hi

I'm running the 24/2 build on a partitioned SD card. I'm noticing the 3G drop outs & want to update to the 26/2. Do I need to do anything special to upgrade? Should I wide the partitions?

I have looked through the FAQs and can only find stuff on how/why to partition not how to upgrade and google isn't playing nice (or I'm doing crummy searches).

Also is the devs watching this thread? I want to post a issues/positive summary for my device or should I DM the devs?

Cheers

benpaddlejones :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
All you should do is full Backup with Titanium, you may use your old data.img.

But in case of 'lost settings' case and problems with extra partition - be prepared to do restoring.
