also, when looking into the app directory, it seems that only the new apps that come with the build (e.g. titanium backup, HTC_IME etc.) are there...
[HD2 Android SD Development] uaon99:
this build take a very long time to wake up
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Could you please do output from app i app-private ? I suspect there are links one directory too deep.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
The same situation you wrote this and previous post apply to me too. I wait for new release AmeriCanAndroid SD Standard but you can already check new version (AmeriCanAndroid SD TMoUS).

Look at changelog:
[HD2 Android SD Development] mateuszd:
Could comeone tell me what is the DPI value that comes with this build? Not the default 240 btw.

I've changed mine and forgot what it was.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Krendelrus:
if i'm not mistaken, it's 180

nice signature, btw

[HD2 Android SD Development] Angelusz:
I haven't yet found a way. Anyone? :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] mateuszd:
Thanks 2x.

I decided to take advantage of Photoshop and created this signature in result :)

I think I've created a few other similar ones (recoloured). You can have a look at them if you want to. :D

Can anyone try DPI value 145. I think 145 works perfectly, I have almost no blur on taskbar icons and most of apps render perfectly.

I was testing various dpi levels and both 140 and 150 were ugly looking, 145 was amazingly looking ok. :o Everything is really small.

I can't believe how huge are things with stock 240 DPI settings!
[HD2 Android SD Development] 2b2b:
hi warren & cope !

confirm:

sd-ext has 2 dirs, app and app-private, both of em empty.

feb16-world-build

3 partitions, fresh & formated

fresh data.img (resized to 300MB)

about 3 days of use..

maybe You could integrate bash with a usable bash.rc and autocomplete by default in the rom - would make things a lot easier in terminal ;-)

i'm trying the solution with busybox and will post, if I succeed...

also a data_size=xx in the startup.txt (delegated to the init-script) would be nice, if one creates always a new data.img (gives also better performance)

- is it possible to avoid the use of data.img with this kind of sd-rom (performance) ?

wonderful rom ! 2b2b
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Only in /data directory. If your output is from /sd-ext - there is something wrong.
[HD2 Android SD Development] alaindev:
I have the same link from app-private to itself in sd-ext.

But, like for 2b2b, my /sd-ext/app directory is completely empty.

This is for a fresh install of the 16FEB release, and I have partitioned my SD card exactly as it is described in the FAQ.

;) By the way, thanks Docent for all your contributions to this build (and the FAQ of course). I am following this build since the start of the old thread by Copenhagen.

And of course many thanks to Copenhagen and Warrenb for providing us with this Gingerbread SD build, which for me is the best choice right now in the SD camp.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Paypal the boys ;)

Bash is a secret for now - I asked devs to put it there (mainly for debug) and never have time to build proper bashrc ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] StarLog:
WOW, I go to bed very late, and wake up to 11 NEW pages on this thred. Better then reading the Sunday news paper. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] alaindev:
Sure there has been some animation here lately :)

I do not want to stir the ashes (or do I ?), but in my humble opinion some guys deserved the names there were given. Call me old-fashioned, but I feel it very impolite that people dare to post before even reading the first post, or the FAQ, or the last one or two pages in the thread.
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
Welcome to the Jungle ....:)

//I finished work on 07swappart. Now it searches for swap partitions no matter number or position.

Partition MUST be however mkswapped before... Devs got their copy, if they consider it mature enough I'll suppose it should solve one of the problems with 'not enough juice' ;)

02/19/11 - Public Release:

AmeriCanAndroid SD TMoUS - http://www.multiupload.com/Q7BF5UCQS5

discussion for this release starts on THIS PAGE

??? is the version for Europe's hd2 ???
[HD2 Android SD Development] alaindev:
Hey, this confirms what I was guessing lately : Docent's doing some work behind the curtains. Do the masters treat you well ? Would we seen an AmeriCanEuroAndroid some day ?

Sorry I don't want to spread some discord between you...
[HD2 Android SD Development] docent14:
That's not that. I am doing something on my own, if Cope and WarrenB wants to use it - it's their bussines.

But in anyway I am not parting with final build release.
[HD2 Android SD Development] plnf:
Hi

Amazing rom thanks.

[HD2 Android SD Development] mihaig:
Great work

Works almost perfect. I just formatted SD card and copied it there. Then launched. Ready in 2 minutes.

The only small problem I found is my bluetooth headphones (Plantronics 260) cannot play music. They work for calls but when playing music my HD2 says it outputs to bluetooth but nothing comes out.

Luckily I can workaround this by restarting and playing music in WM if I absolutely need it :)

Great work!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Luke15153:
Had this problem once: BT Volume was at minimum :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
NAND possible?

HEy Devs...

Would it be possible to build a nand version of this rom?

I would be interested in trying this out.
[HD2 Android SD Development] benpaddlejones:
Hey Dev's cannot fault this built, much grats you guys are awesome!
[HD2 Android SD Development] tubbie_01:
Hi,

Anybody else having a problem with curent widget not working with this new build? Installed and reinstalles 3 times with no success; when widget is added it gives an error as the battery status.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
Seems a new entry in the NOOB guide needs to add "What about NAND?" into it.

Short answer: No , Long Answer: Search the thread or read the first post for more info...
[HD2 Android SD Development] ben.marks:
Nope sorry, works fine here. Downlaoded it a couple of days ago and installed without probs.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Well, it hasn't been ruled out, there's a slightly longer short answer of "not yet" :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
Thats why I asked.

So JustX, if you think the NOOB Guid shuold get this added you might be right cause then you would have known that it was not ruled out.

I did in fact read the first post and FAQ.

(I really love how big babys like you try tu insult other people at any place they can. Man if you really need this for your statisfaction...

Probably you should find a hobby? - Follow-ups to this notice please via PM! Thats nothing which has to be talked about here.)

And I asked if they could do it not if they can or will.

I just wanted to know if it is even possible or if that requires bigger change what makes much work.

Probably we could get a nand-boy into this project to build a nand version then.

I mean what is there against this idea?

In fact AmeriCam Android is running absolutely stable on HD2... Many of us cannot even boot into WinMo anymore cause of not liking WP7 and using MAGLdr
[HD2 Android SD Development] asmd6230:
heres an interesting observation.. to me at least.

its more battery efficient to use wifi for internet access (provided its available of course) than to have the data constantly switch between E, 3G and H is areas of less than stellar reception.

go figure.

didnt realise wifi takes less power than data hunting.

regards,

asmd.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mihaig:
No. Headset volume was at max. Handset volume at max also. I can use it to call but not for listening to music. No big deal anyway.
[HD2 Android SD Development] shost:
As a have read sooner in this thread, nand version requires different kernel.

[HD2 Android SD Development] ATomCZ:
How I can turn of backup to SD card? I have paritioned SD card but second partition is for Android on NAND and I don't want SD builds to use this.

Today I correctly turn of AmeriCanAndroid, install another android to NAND (which use 2nd parition on SD for data) and when I go back to AmeriCanAndroid most of app give me FC error, nothing work :-( This is because of back2sd functionality?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
it is not because of back2sd functionality. you must have p1 as fat32 p2 as ext before backup2sdext will even enable itself. so:

1. seeing that your sd(Fat32) partition is on p2 back2sdext is not enabling for you

(so that isnt your problem)

2. americanandroid uses p1 for fat32. if you dont use p1 for fat32, then this is your problem. no exceptions. sorry. we dont build for nand. we can work with it (ie allow you to boot sd from magldr) but thats as far as we go to support nand builds. the rest is up to you.

[HD2 Android SD Development] ATomCZ:
Yes I have p1 fat32, p2 ext3 and p3 SWAP, because I need them for another NAND build (because NAND is too small for data). I don't need move your build to NAND. I want run it from SD, from p1 with fat32. I only ask how to turn of use p2 ext partition fot backup.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Blacklight-IT:
Hi there

I'm having the following problem:

Phone is in standby mode - after pressing the Button in the right bottom corner (Standby / Off / On Button) than the backlight of the buttons turns on but the phone remains dark. A few times it happened that for a second there was visible the lock screen but then the phone turned off again. I have to press the standby button a few more times to get the lock screen back.

Anyone else experienced that? What could I do against that? (Don't say read the FAQ, I checked them already...)
[HD2 Android SD Development] deviant007:
Data connection issues

Hi.

I'm experiencing allot of problems with my data connection.

It goes on/off without notice. (first noticed this on yahoo messenger video calls)

Is it just me or is this a general issue?

Also (and probably because of the data connections) USB tethering and WiFi hotspot aren't working that well.

Any advice/suggestion ???

[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
The simplest way is to use a partition manager and mark it as hidden.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
There have been a few posts about this recently and the conclusion was that it was an SD card issue. People using branded SD cards had no problems.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Blacklight-IT:
I tried it on the stock SD card and on a new one (kingston class 4 16GB), different card same problem. What do you mean with branded sd card? And what can I do against that?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ATomCZ:
And unhide it every time when I will want to run another Android from NAND which need it?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
PITA, but yes...
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
okay.... at work.. so im not gonna update the first post till i get home tonight...

however

due to the "burger thursday comments"

here is your update ;)

(keep in mind this is a test build... you are testing my changes to data - the killall pppd method is ONLY used if warren&I's original data fix fails to re-establish the connection.... in my opinion (and the past 12 hours of testing) this solution has been fantastic, but like I said.. please judge for yourself and let me know.. if you have any issues you can always downgrade to an earlier build)

many many many cm changes in this build also.

EDIT first post upated
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Read from post #4288 and it's followups...

I have no problems with Sandisk 16GB class 4
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Is this based on my input ;) while I can't take credit for the method/solution I am glad I was able to point it out to you, and that it seems to be working (Fingeres crossed). Can't wait to test it out when I get home.

Although I will add, in WinMo this morning and leaving the subway, I had no data, airplane mode didn't bring it back, I had to reboot. Goes to show you, it isn't just android with data issues, but WinMo has them too! At least in Android, a simple tap on my Gscript to killall pppd brings it back, can't say the same for WinMo... [Guess I could have also booted into Android this morning, but that just didn't cross my mind at the time. However, I was actually in the middle of a Sudoku game but wanted to check twitter so reboot came to mind first]
[HD2 Android SD Development] chemass:
AWESOME!!!

Yay burger thursdays!

All up and running - straight overwrite and all seems fine!

Nice one Copes!
[HD2 Android SD Development] giuliano.rigon:
about the screen staying black after a call or BSOD black screen of death.. unlock from the market solved it for me completely across many builds.

I had tried shake awake screebl keep awake toggle screen timeout and other market APKs . Keeping the phone without a lock screen solves it forever.. cards reformatting might help but this is my definitive solution. No dead screen since and it was a month ago.. before that it was a daily occurrence . Let me know
[HD2 Android SD Development] TeveT:
So, I am going to begin with apologizing in beforehand if/that my questions have already been answered somewhere, I tried a couple of searches but came up with nothing that could help me. I have however looked at the FAQ and tried working something out, with no luck.

First one has to do with GPS...

And yes I have tried the gps.conf change, it now reads se for Sweden, still no luck.

Simply put I get no lock on position, not 5 minutes or 30 minutes, it just refuses to work.

Second problem is MMS, after opening the message containing it and pressing Get/Open nothing happens. I have no WiFi enabled.

Any help appreciated,

I got the release as of 04/02/11 installed.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Straynart:
I'm sorry for being in disagreement with you, but with the Android ROM Clean Sense 2.4, I never have any disconnection, nor with a WinMo Artemis ROM, I never been disconnected too.

The problem is either the Cooked ROM or the GingerBread ROM [with Froyo, I don't remember of any data drop issue].

You have to set the APN for your carrier provider.

Nice one ! =]

Otherwise, Cope, for the BT headset controler, is there any further step ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ikando2on2:
whats wrong

i install android on my phone but the fonts and icons are very small also the lock is very small what can i do?????
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
whats wrong? is that you didnt read the first post.

[emphasis][notyelling]

first

post?????

[/notyelling][/emphasis]
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
the benefits are yet to be proven solid.. but its a try right? nothing hurts with trying.

I didnt get around to thanking you yet for your assistance with this, I will .. it will be in the first post (had a lot of work to do today.. plus it was burger thursday so.. my lunch was a write off.mmm burgers) But you do deserve credit and you wILL get it ;)

And I read a comment from a user that he didnt recall there being data drops with other builds of android. (most likely due to the fact that they are using rmnet for data...;) )
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
okay well that is completely different then what you said the first time ;)

so... if you want to disable backup2sdext

all you have to do is create a BLANK text document on your pc, and call it 05mountsd no extention (.txt) . make the following folders on your sdcard (some may or may not exist.. this doesnt matter make what is needed)

/sdcard/Android/root/system/etc/init.d/

(most likely the bolded stuff is what you will need to create)

once done, put your BLANK 05mountsd file in that folder so you have

/sdcard/Android/root/system/etc/init.d/05mountsd

do this before your first boot of the build, cause if you don't it will be too late.

AFTER your first boot, it will be safe to delete the /sdcard/Android/ -->root/...<-- folder and it's contents. (OH AND dont forget to repeat the whole proceedure each time you update the build, because by default, any new build is gonna scan for that p1 p2 p3 setup. ;) )

essentially

this will overwrite the 05mountsd file in the build and it simply will not try to mount or touch anything /ext (or p2) related.

coolbeans.

(sorry P.S. and about NAND too small for data. could you maybe elaborate on that for some of the other users who don't know about this NAND limitation ;) ;) ;) )
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
:)

ka_GE local has been added by the cm team

EDIT um omg! so I implemented some more changes I found on the cyanogenmod website.

and holy cr@p.

I'm not going to say anymore.. only that VERY shortly there will be an update. stay tuned.

Aaawesome, staying tuned :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] Red-Dog:
SWEET! I love my HD2 and XDA kicks @SS! I've been slackin' on trying out different android builds, but i got this one yesterday and its pretty kool. I had some apps Force Close on me too, but moved them to the phone and now they work! The only other problem I have now with this build is sometimes is has the SOD, but i'm still running stock WM 6.5 ROM 2.10! Maybe when i upgrade to the latest 3.14 that will stop? Don't really want to add a custom WM rom if i don't have to, would rather not take any chances on brickin my phone, these things are expensive!....lol just stock wm is fine with me, as long as i can run android from the sd without freezes all the time! I like having both, they both have some advantages the other one doesn't for example i use WM when i use my tomtom for traveling...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Damien13N:
Has anyone had any email issues with this ROM?

Installed warrenNcopeTMo031911 two weeks ago and thought all was working except frequent data drops. Just noticed that all my email I sent out for the last two weeks is still in my outbox on the phone. If I try to send any email it just sits in the outbox and never goes anywhere. Even when I have good data connection and can get on Internet, Marketplace, send messages, email just sits in outbox and won't send. Downloads new messages from server and syncs folders just fine, just can't get outgoing emails to send.

Using Outlook account with gmail google sync from m.google.com. Works fine with same settings in dual booted WP7 and worked on other Android builds.

Any thoughts appreciated... use my phone for business and cannot be guessing whether things are working or not. Loss of data connection frequently making it hard enough to use as it is. Are the data drops fixed in the 4-6-11 build? I thought it was supposed to be fixed in the 3-19-11 build I installed. I don't have data drops at all with WP7 and had to temporarily stop booting Android due to email issue.
[HD2 Android SD Development] chemass:
Well, all seems fine on the data front so far - I'll keep an eye on it whilst at work today (that's where my worst experiences come from - and the worst data drops...) and we'll see what happens ^_^

and did i read correctly? will there be another update?

Nice work Copes!:D
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Hahahaha I will skip April 6th and wait for the next update. My download speeds suck so let me wait for the upcoming update. I wont even ask for ETA :D will just wait.... :rolleyes: Thanks Cope.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
1. the most important thing you should do is update your RADIO rom. a. you need to flash hardspl on your device to allow flashing of updates. b. visit the radio rom thread and read up on how to update your radio rom.

2. you can't brick your hd2 unless you start messing with nand builds. (in the non-nand world, the bootloader is always present so even if a flash fails.. ie.. a radio rom flash or a wm rom flash, you can still start a new flash from the bootloader. so you cant brick it.. dont worry about this. (you wont lose your data with a radio rom update.. but you will lose your data with a winmo rom update... and IMO you should do both)

3. that is why we exist!.. so you can have the new stuff (GB --> )without having to flash a nand build. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
so ... you should probably update to a new version.... 2 weeks ago.. a lot has changed in two weeks. maybe there was an email problem in the 0319 build .. but none of us use it anymore so.... how are we gonna help you with that? lol

sometimes it helps to remove your email account from the device (if it is a non gmail one) and re add it.

if it is a gmail one... try deleting those messages from the outbox and send a new one as a test. etc

ive also heard that sometimes you can solve this by changing your gmail password via your pc and a webbrowser, then changing your password on your device. donno just thoughts

the rest of your post tho....

"use my phone for business and cannot be guessing whether things are working or not. Loss of data connection frequently making it hard enough to use as it is.

im doing my best. i hope that is enough .. cause that's all ive got.
