yupyup! :) its gunna be here quicker then you think ;)

good call...... i have good feelings about this one and moving forward ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] chemass:
Splendid stuff!

I just got myself a microsd card reader for my keychain so i could update at work - now i'll be able to test it out!!

Sadly though, I'm still getting bloody data drops without it reconnecting - it seems to be worst here at work - always swapping between 3g, hspa etc.

I've left it alone for 30 mins so far and no reconnects. :(

meh, that's why i downloaded the restart connections app!

I'll make a new data.img with the new build and see if that helps - i've had this one for a while!

Cheers Cope!

Waiting for the next present ... :D

Warren/Cope, thanks for this great ROM. I use it since Feb, 16 and have never switched back to WinMo.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
well wait no longer :) - give me feedback on this one. THANKS GUYS

Download links are showing 040611.7z .... with the same file size as the older ones.....
[HD2 Android SD Development] prashanthm:
wow, fantastic......

I will try this one when i get home......
[HD2 Android SD Development] habibjamil:
Very excited about this one because, finally, Arabic is built into the ROM... Arabic users, rejoice :-)

Thanks a million, Chef...
[HD2 Android SD Development] gillgrylls:
downloading the build now and going to install it soon. i take it i can use my old data image. at last for the last few builds i have been using the same data file.

still by far the best build i have ran on my Leo!
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmeriCanAndroid:
omg your right...... bWAH!!!!!!!!!!! i re uploaded the 0406 files!!!!!!!!!!! :( uploading... meahhahah sorry... my bad.. its not april fools or anything.. good thing i didnt goto bed before checking the thread one last time. (Added an rss link to the first post)

you know when you get in a habit of just clicking? thats what i did.. the last folder i uploaded from still has the 06 builds in it.. and when i went to multiupload i just clicked. lol... so.. ill upload one at a time.. will take less time.. and since the americans are in bed right now ill up the standard build first. should be less then

11

mins. dam im sorry lol thats a funny one.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Damien13N:
I was procrastinating and waiting for the next release... which I see is up TY. I didn't realize I was having the email issue or I would have updated sooner.

For the love of God please don't take my technical issues as being unappreciative or complaining. I love your ROM and am very thankful for all the hard work and time by all involved. Just want to do my part and help address and work out any potential issues to get it all working because my HD2 dual boot with Android/WP7 ROCKS thanks to everyone here.

Allow me to make up the misunderstanding with you...

You are the man. You are the sh*t. You kick ass. Cope rules.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jaguaralani:
Neverminf mate,

Waiting...........

Cheers.
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmeriCanAndroid:

Apps from market store

I've have used this SD version for two weeks now and enjoy it alot! I know some of the apps from the market wont work, but is there a way to get spotify to work?? Also if I have no problem with the previous build, is there a reason to update then? I read through the changelog, but didnt really see any change that I personally feel like I need, or will this updated version work better with market store apps?

salve ragazzi questa rom a me non funziona dopo averla installata si blocca il cellulare devo togliere la batteria oltre rimane acceso sempre il led alto
[HD2 Android SD Development] prashanthm:
If you are happy with the build you are using, you can stick with it....

All the updates are listed in the change log in the first post. The changes made by the dev team on this thread are listed in detail, but the CM7 changes should be listed on the CM change log link available on the first post....
[HD2 Android SD Development] mikkeltysland:
I found the skype issue in the FAQ and made it work. Thx for a great build!
[HD2 Android SD Development] gillgrylls:
The build is working great and most of my data drops came late at night like now. Data is running stable nowand everything else is great.

I so like the new skinned lighter version of the keyboard!

Great work devs!

leggere il thread e le FAQ per favore.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ATomCZ:
Thank you very much! I did this before upgrade to latest build.

I thinked that I said the same, but maybe my english.. :-(

I don't know anybody with doesn't know it :-) But with EXT partition is this limitation gone.
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
awesomee :) been reading the last few posts and stuff. and im still running the 290311 build but seeing as its been over a week since ive updated and lots of updates are in the 0704 build ANDD its the weekend, i think its time to update.

ill check it out once i get home :)

I am tapping this message out after exiting the subway walking to work... so my testing tells me it is working better :)

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HD2 Android SD Development] xauzainhatvn:
Thanks thanks thanks.

Lovely, the Lockscreen feel not lag like the previous version. :D

Very nice if u fix that HD2 can play 1080p. I use RockPlayer and MoboPlayer can play 1080p but slow and miss voice.

How the China Pad can play ? I think HD2 is stronger than China Pad.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
just a heads up we're not using the killall pppd method with all the new changes I added in. (not needed anymore... but a good way to manually reset the ppp connection if needed) :) very glad to hear its workin for you commin out of the subway :) YAYAY!
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
any update on the new kernel i read about a few hundred posts ago?

bringing back the OC option I hope :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
I know warren was busy with school etc, havnt heard to much from him lately. Hopefully he has some progress he can share with us :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
data moving...

I am really sorry to be a pain in the ass with this but: OMG, data moving still there!!

Do I really have to copy 05mountsd and make a backup so I can put it into the Android folder in order to overwrite the original file from now on before every update?

Please tell me you have just forgotten to make the changes... :(

BTW: how does the update actually happen? delete data.img and create new one from sd-ext?

I just updated the usual way by copying all the files into Android and now tons of apps are on an older version?

Not as I remember it to be when acutally keeping the data.img or am I wrong?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
:) thanks for the quick response and yup, hopefully its good news and the OC fans can rejoice.
[HD2 Android SD Development] asmd6230:
hi guys..

thought id update my observations with the 4/6 update.

i had one solid data drop. 3g showed gray and wouldnt light up again. waited on it for almost 10 mins and it was a no go. had to airplane mode it. but it was only one drop though, coincidence? cant say.

on another note, i forgot to set my phone to charge last night, and the battery drain was about 10% with data running in the background. (push email etc). thats simply just awesome!! i cant post a screenshot but phone says 12h 34mins on battery, used it moderately and am 64% battery. thats brilliant.

just put in the latest version and will test and report.

to all you devs, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

regards,

asmd.
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
I am very upset now and I now I shouldnt but yea...

I lost various settings of various apps doing this update. I tried to rectify some of the changes and after a reboot they orignal settings are there again, as if I had done nothing...

I didn't say it so far but after this I dont think that there is any more avoiding it:

backup2sd is not that great, I for one have spent hours trying to get back to the settings I had after something strange got messed up after a reboot.

It does not work properly in that it fails to backup the latest version of an app or restores a deleted app for no reason. I never shut down the phone by pulling the battery and I think it is time to recognise that the script is not working well. Somehow it gets interrupted at shutdown (may be a reason why the apps are there again after delete), it does not save all the settings and it fails to recognise which apps are newer in order to save them and not keep an older version which then gets "restored" after reboot.

Please provide me with a short instruction on how to remove that feature but obviously still have the stuff like sd card cache fix (which is also in 05mountsd). So far I have gone with the instruction from post #4430...

I have not gotten any answer so far, but I assume that backup2d is the only thing we need the sd-ext for?

When I keep my data.img I dont need it and for every 10th or more update that my data.img may get corrupted or fails to work for any other reason I will gladly use TB. Having so little benefit is just by far in no relation to all the trouble I had with it so far.

I will then reduce the size of the sd-ext to a minimum to still have the 3 partition set up for Android to use the swap partition. Will this work?

Sorry for not having any other feedback on this but it really got on my nerves today. I will now roll back to my previous build and data.img of which I luckily made a backup before I updated.
[HD2 Android SD Development] benpaddlejones:
My views of 060411 versus 020411

Generally both are extremely stable. As a user I cannot find any difference. Only difference is in Data. 020411 had less data drops but recovery from drops was more challanging requiring more resets or total reboot. 060411 has more data drops but all so far have recovered in reset of 3g (use data reset app).

Hope this helps the Dec team, place yell if you need more info or me to test something.

Benpaddlejones :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
everything you asked regarding HOW TO disable backup2sdext was covered in the past 20 pages of this thread.

im sorry that you are having problems with your android install.

its good that you are making a backup of your data.img (its recommended anyways).

whens the last time you formatted your partitions and copied all the files back?

are you running your build out of a different directory then Android?

It seems that YOU in particular are having a lot MORE difficulty then the majority of the rest of us so... perhaps there is something to be said about that.

if you have a backup of your data.img its only logical that you've tried to format your sdext (p2) partition, and checked to see if the data was copied back to it after a shutdown.. because that there would be all the proof you need that it's working.

so yah.. hope your day gets less 'stressful' and you have some more... enlightening information for us when you post next
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
data feedback from 04/06 build is no longer vaild due to the amount of changes that I made to the 04/07 build.

so... you can assist with testing 0407 :) and hook us up with some feedback on that :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] sidelong:
Its not that easy to be sure, but I think my experience is similar.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
if you wanna test something for me,

edit /system/etc/shutdown.d/02shutdown

and /system/etc/init.d/05mountsd

with a text editor launched from a root explorer.

in both files there is a line that reads something similar to

rsync -apDogmtrle --....... etc

change both the lines to read

rsync -amE --........ etc

save the file, and remove any .bak files may get created.

then reboot....

(extended testing after you are back up and running:) IF you are only using your p2 for backup2sdext - try wiping it and see if the data gets repopulated properly.

in terminal

su

rm -r /sd-ext/*

it may take a little while to complete and show you the prompt again. but when you do type

ls /sd-ext/*

to verify all the files are gone.

then type

shutdown

and hit enter.

your device will mirror your data, back to the sd-ext/here and shutdown

then if you want to test even furthur, before you restart, backup your data.img

then boot without it in the android folder. let android create a new one, and see if your shiz gets restored during first boot... there is so much testing that can be done... ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] asmd6230:
okay chaps.. got latest build up and running. am at my desk and as i type this am experiencing a data drop. 3g is gray and theres no internet access. been almost 10 mins. have a nokia n82 as well on the same network and data is working. admittedly data is spotty in my area. am going to leave it like this if anybody here needs for me to test something while data has zoned out.

[/URL] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG]

let me know.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
try making a quick phone call (just a few seconds long), this should also reset the data connection if you are on 2g.

another worthy mention, if you open up /system/etc/resolv.conf it should list 2 or 3 nameservers.

;) THESE are what you want to use in your build.prop

at the bottom for the dns1 and dns2 entries ie: replace the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 with the values you get from your resolve.conf (get them after you've been connected to the internet for a minute or so) ;)

(tmo customers dont worry yours are already setup properly)
[HD2 Android SD Development] asmd6230:
just called home. let it ring twice and hung up.. still no joy. its still gray and no data.

err.. do i need for the call to connect?

edit: just reread your edited post above.. if it makes any difference, im using a t-mob hd2 on simple mobile.

will look for what you instructed.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
no just to initiate the dialing out and start ringing. then you can hang up.

but ... this is for 2g data.

if you are having 3g data freezes there might be a different issue for you.. like your dns settings are incorrect...
[HD2 Android SD Development] geenyous:
Correct and that was also what I have done.

Now I only need to know if you use sd-ext for anything else than backup and if I can safely shrink its size to a minimum to still have 3 partitions in order to benefit from the swap partition?

And also if my sd cache still is 2mb although 05mountsd is now blank (as it is set in there)?

For your update frequency a looong time ago :D

I think like 4 weeks back, since I have my new sd I have not reformated.

But I must say that I hope that this is not necessary all too often, because if it was there would be another reason for me not to use the backup function...

I know I seem to be the only one that has this problems, the more I value your taking time to address this issue!

And I am not saying it does not work, it does but I have a feeling that it is not 100% (well I actually know it is not 100% because this is not the first time I have some issues...). I am just very glad that I made a backup of my data.img, I cant stand the thought of sitting here with the messed up img I had a few minutes ago. And since you never know when your sd-ext partition feels its time to get a little messed up it just seems a big risk for a small benefit. If there was no TB, ok, but with TB I dont see the point of using it.

thx man, and this on a Friday... :eek:

Anyhow, I have now copied my data.img back onto my sd, put in a blank 05mountsd and am happily ruinning my fully functional APR07 release and all is where it sould be.

Had some other text here but I saw your 2nd reply. Unfortunately I have to leave the office now but I will do some testing tomorrow or on Sunday. Since I use a blank 05mountsd I am sure the sd-ext is untouched and has the same errors as before... will let you know asap!

Thx again cope, you really are the best dev I ever had the joy to work with!!
[HD2 Android SD Development] ditsch:
I think this rom is fantastic. Only thing I'm missing is video streaming, can't get it to work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
what app are you trying to stream with? what site are you goin to for content..

the more info you give me the better I can help you out.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
your not using the tmo build are you? on a non tmo service provider? cause.. you should be using the standard build for non tmo-customer ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] ditsch:
It's a German site, the program is called "Tagesschau", you can get it via the Market.
[HD2 Android SD Development] damathos:
Hi,

I'm trying to find this app on the market... but without success.

What is the exact name of the app ?

Thanks,
[HD2 Android SD Development] asmd6230:
@ Cope - nope, using the standard build, not the t-mob build. (have been reading the faq's :P)

may need some hand holding with this one. hope you dont mind.

oddly after 20 minutes, data has restored itself. its green and working. not sure what to make of it. i didnt do anything that would have forced a reset. this was about 10 mins after the call. (ring twice and hang up)

i found and opened in notepad build.prop.

where exactly is the resolve.conf file located?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Wrong build used as cope said or wrong DNS settings? I only get GSM (G) when Im at home and I even get data on this which I never used too (esp not on the build I used before joining this thread)
[HD2 Android SD Development] asmd6230:
thanks for the reply. am using the standard build. figuring out dns setting now. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
check here /etc/ppp/resolv.conf
[HD2 Android SD Development] gargon01:
I know this might be a stupid question but I'm on T-Mobile UK and have always used the standard build. Can I use the T-mobile US (I know it's US and I'm in the UK) build or do I stick with the standard one? I've always wondered.

Thanks

If you have a look at what other users of this app say in Android market, it might be a general problem, not related to AmeriCanDroid.

Edit

Ok, downloaded the app and tried the livestream and the 100s clip and both worked flawlessly over wifi.

Which build are you using? When was the last time you created a new data.img?
[HD2 Android SD Development] asmd6230:
ok.. this probably deserves a slap on my hand and im kinda feeling stupid. but i cant find the /system folder.

where do i look for this? in the android folder of the sd card?

(i looked in all the folders of the sd card)

*feeling very sheepish right now*

teach me how to fish....
[HD2 Android SD Development] gargon01:
So is that a.....yes? Nah, thanks for clarifying.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
find yourself 'root explorer'. if you have to buy it ... .... so be it.

NOW! now that you have a file explorer that can show you something substantial,

folder UP until you get to /

now.. start looking for system.

/system/... its in the same place where you will see

/sdcard/

but if you are looking IN sdcard already

(currently you are looking here)

/sdcard/HERE

you are not in the right place.

and on that note.... the build.prop you want to edit will be located

/system/here for 180 lcd

or here

/sdcard/Android/root/system/here- for 240

I installed 04062011 last night prior to 04072011 comming out, now I am downloading the 04072011 build on my 04062011 build... I feel like this is somewhat canabalistic....
[HD2 Android SD Development] asmd6230:
*face palm*

got it.

this is what it says.

nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4

same as what it says at the bottom of build.prop.

appreciate the fishing lesson.

summary: the dns entry is correct. must be some other explanation/fix for the drop. cant say how it reconnected itself after a while. will keep testing and post accordingly.

Dear Copenhagen, once you recommended us to set CPU into Interactive mode for better bat life. In cyanogen setting it forces Ondemand option. Thought I should mention it. Love your builds because they're being updated every few days. Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
I think you can use the free ES File explorer, and under settings there is an option to grant root access. Seems to work for me, and it is free...
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
you dont have to do what you dont feel right doing :)

if you dont want to update.. you dont have to.

the build is of sorts a 'nightly' released build.... cyanogen makes daily changes,

i dont understand what the issue is. .. unless i am understanding you wrong .. perhaps?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
install setcpu from the market or xda. reboot, and try to change the OC settings again via cyanogen settings. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
No issue what so ever, just though it funny to be using one version to download and upgrade to another... although I will have to boot into winmo to extract and copy over, it isn't a big deal. It jest felt sort of wrong to use one version of the OS to get it's own replacement... but purley in a canabalistic way, nothing wrong with upgrading at work ;) (On my lunch break, in case big brother is reading)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
check /etc/ppp/resolv.conf after you've have a solid connection to the internet via data.... check after you've been connected for about 2 minutes... most likely you wont have an 8.8.8.8 address in there.... they should be specific to your service provider... also this wont work on the 04/06 build (this is part of the new changes that were made for the 04/07 build)
[HD2 Android SD Development] ditsch:
Hi,

I,m using the build from 04/06/11, and it was first install. You know, I like this program so I check the roms for live streaming. One, which is working, is [SD-MGRLD] BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA DESIRE HD GLASS V2 (14.MAR), but it is sluggish.

What do you suggest?
[HD2 Android SD Development] bdaboy338:
Is there a data connection fix for this rom. I'm using the tmo version. I lose connection so frequently makes me wanna throw my phone in the wall. Anyone??????????!
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
just finished updating :) its looking good. i mentioned before that I could only get GSM in my house but data still connected anyway and pretty quickly too.
[HD2 Android SD Development] asmd6230:
i am using the latest 04/07 build. :)

just watched streaming video on cnn for the last 10 mins or so... stupid govt shutdown. really wish i could ***** slap these F%$%$rs. Its not like they get affected!

but yeah, it still says 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

for what its worth, simple mobile is a t-mobile MVNO and uses t-mobiles network. is it relevant?

try /etc/ppp/resolv.conf

to find those dns entries.
