You should not be copying the build.prop when android is active, it won't work. The best time to do it is when you are copying the new build, either in Winmo or using a card reader.

The instructions were changed in post #1 when it was realised that people were doing this. Please read again.

The USB issue is known and well documented in this thread. A read since 01/05 will show you why and what is being done about it.

Edit: Sorry I forgot about youir point 1 - settings - Manage applications - find market and clear cache
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Yes - you provided the answer by quoting Cope's post

You will end up with a copy of your default.acdb named htcleo.acdb
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
This the one from 01/05

This time I'll include the file :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
If you care to read before you post, you would know about this issue and that all efforts are being made to fix it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] scpion:
Hey, Thanks for the reply! Clear cache solved the downloading issue. Sorry for this dumb question as it never happen b4 on earlier builds...

Just a quick question, on a native android phone, to change the LCD density, copy build.prop -> edit on pc -> copy back to phone, overwrite build.prop in sys -> reboot. Done via root explorer, correct?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Avatiach:
Thanks for this discussion guys! I'll give 05/05 a shot and report back any issues
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Yes, but doing it that way, it's easier to just edit the file..

Edit: I've just re-read that - Why are you editing on PC? edit direct with root explorer.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
I was going to remind of my post on how to edit that from within android maybe 20 pages back. As long as you have root rights, you can do so, otherwise file changes won't stick. Must restart to take effect. Root explorer or Es file explorer both work.

Kris
[HD2 Android SD Development] scpion:
Huh..? I just checked.. I cant seems to find any options to do any editing.. I can only view the file..

Edit: Nevermind!! found it!! open in text editor!! Darn! I almost went blind trying to search for the value with notepad! Give me a chance.. I just bought root explorer a couple of days ago..
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
I haven't used root explorer, but what I like about ES file explorer is that when you long press, it asks what you want to use to open/ edit the file and has its own file editor. pretty painless. it is kind of a pain to find that line...

Anyone else ever feel like there is something grainy on your phone when you are using touch interface? It will be perfectly clean but it feels like there is something on it. (not always).

[HD2 Android SD Development] UltimateKO:
I have an interesting question, I just signed up for the square up application, they send you a free credit card reader that connects to the headphone jack. I can't seem to get it to work.

would this have something to do with the HD2 not being an native Android phone?

Im using the 4/27 build

Power drain is alot loosing like 10% in an hour every thing is off. In idle mode
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
bah given up, tried restoring only green things in TiBackup and upon restart android.phone FC's, tried replacing with my old data.img, same again. Currently booting up a vanilla build with a fresh data.img and I'll just recustomise everything from scratch - if I'd done that in the first place I'd be done by now.

Obviously something badly messed up in my old settings or data so best to start fresh I think. Thanks to the gents who tried to help :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] iPAQ 6515a User:
Bloody hell, sorry to hear that mate.

I guess my way is not a way .... at least for others as I magically managed to update with no probs through 4 different kerenls
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
That can happen.

You should try to reformat your SD card and try again with the old image or at least the Titanium backup you have.
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheSkepticalGuy:
is anyone else stuck on the Green HTC screen? or is it just me?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
Nah I've been carrying this data image around since March and it's been through a lot of updates. Besides I hardly used most of the apps I had so re-downloading them isn't too bad, a little tweaking here and there it will be like a brand new phone
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
Try a couple of times. You're not the only one, someone else wrote he had to try 3 times until it finally worked.

But there is nothing wrong with the build, it just happens sometimes.

Shortcuts to contacts

Is there a way to keep shortcuts to contacts working after a version update?

Thanks

Fresh format & new image w TB app restore.

I had to pull battery on 2nd boot... no problems since. Suggest booting a few times during your sync and setup

Can I make 3 partitions in my sd like: 1st fat32, 2nd fat32 e 3rd ext3 and place the Android folder in the second partition and try to run rom from there?

Back up your adw settings & desktop copy them to your new build and restore. Also check out app Folder Organizer
[HD2 Android SD Development] Animefan:
"-GB revision update from GB H40 to GB I22"

What does this mean? Is it Gingerbread (Android 2.3.4?) that has been updated? Is it readable what these updates mean / do anywhere?
[HD2 Android SD Development] see_u_then:
Since we cannot connect to desktop using USB - how do you transfer files between your PC and the phone?
[HD2 Android SD Development] prattjo:
The restore of ADW settings and desktop doesn't help. What do you mean by app Folder Organizer?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Animefan:
1. Turn phone off

2. Turn phone on

3. Use WM6.5 to move files?
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
Boot into Winmo or use a card reader or wait for it to be fixed in a later release...
[HD2 Android SD Development] dark alex:
or use the echo fix
[HD2 Android SD Development] agtokc:
Search the market for it.

Backup & restoring adw desktop settings works for me I have some direct dial shortcuts and app shortcuts that restore fine.

I like folder organizer because I can organize shortcuts in the app then add a scrollable widget to homescreen
[HD2 Android SD Development] kdelisle:
Anyone notice louder voice volume in the 5/1 version?
[HD2 Android SD Development] shamez23:
No. The Android folder has to be in the first FAT partition, 2nd partition sd-ext, 3rd swap. In this order. Otherwise it won't work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] agtokc:
Disclaimer: I know just enough to piss off a real programmer with all the questions and what's this mean babble

But I got to thinking... an app I found called OS monitor gives a list of errors generated sortable by how the system loads. I'm gonna research what these errors are and see if can help identify the problem areas we seem to be running into.

Do any of you pros know of a better app for identifying system errors?
[HD2 Android SD Development] reijkelhof:
I use dropbox.com for small files, and boot up in windows mobile and connect USB for large files.

Receive-MMS Issue SOLVED

hensond67 and kypeth,

I've figured it out! (at least for my HD2)

1. Shut phone down

2. Remove SIM

3. Turn phone on and then shut it down again (I know... repetitive but it works :))

4. Insert SIM this time and turn phone on

5. Delete All APN(s)

6. Register with your mobile network (Mobile Networks/Networks operators)

7. Go back to "Access Point Names" (List should still be blank)

8. Click on the Windows key and choose "Reset to default". At this point, the "Simple" and "T-Mobile US" will be re-created.

9. Delete the "Simple" APN

10. Create a new APN, name it whatever you want and open it

a. Under "APN", put "internet2.voicestream.com"

b. Leave everything else as is

c. Under "APN type", type "default,supl" (without the quotation marks)

d. Exit

11. Go to the "T-Mobile US" APN

a. Under "APN type", type "mms" (without the quotation marks)

b. Exit

12. Shutdown and turn on phone

It should work now. Tested and works 100%.

is there a way to install this version and still keep all my apps of do i have to download everything again?

great job btw ;3

i've just installed your android version 2.3.3

is there a way to install this version and still keep all my apps of do i have to download everything again?

and if there's a thread about it, pls send it to me (:

and yes i'm a newbie in comments and i don''t really get it..
[HD2 Android SD Development] Imperator Nick:
Well I've been having a jolly old time reconfiguring everything. Pretty much how I want it (and I can set sounds through Android again, woohoo!) Can't seem to get it to play a tone and vibrate for a notification for some reason, probably me being thick though.

Any road, it seems lovely and snappy, wifi and so forth seem to be working a treat. Battery does seem to be draining quickly and battery monitor widget seems to keep losing track of the total capacity. Could just be bedding in issues, we shall see

no showing 2.3.4

why dosent my phone show that its 2.3.4 GB version, in the about phone section ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
its a typo my fault... dont worry so much..

when we release a new build.. its built off the latest cyanogen source

so ask yourself what is the latest cyanogen rev number? rel date etc?

and KNOW that is what you are running.. or will be on the next update.
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
um omg?

warren and myself spent some time performing little miracle moments.

and we have something massive ..... already.. .. ... ready.

now....

ima start a sync and grab all the changes from midnight last night

compile it and upload that with the previously mentioned little miracle and ....

youll have a second tasty burger ;) on burger thursday :)

Thou art truly a tease Mr Hagen :-)

How come I can now see my whole SD card from my PC (via UML) when running Android - that's new!!

Never a dull moment around here! Thanks for sharing wonders of your miracles! lol
[HD2 Android SD Development] bobuchacha:
I think we shuold review dsp and led light. It seem to run well but after lockscreen on, it just turn green. Otherwise, the feb 21 is quiet slower than the built before... smehow...
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
I only have 2g access with my EU hd2 all i can double confirm RIGHT NOW.. is that data is reconnecting to the 2g network; and flowing; after a data drop or after an active phone call. (i just tested it again for the like 1000th time...working)

we know data is not 100% but we are working on getting it that way.

ima get my 3g counterpart to speak on it ... if he's around. standby

the dsp and led issues are cyanogen mod 7 related. there is nothing we can do except wait.

the speed being slower in the 21st build..... not possible.. unless you are talking about the boot up time.

(boot up time will be back to normal around the 3rd boot)

@me regarding no 3G

Its COMMING!!! :)

and heres the best part

Sold For:	US $249.99

Approximately C $245.67

mewhahhaa it was less in cdn funds then american.! lol

so.... a special thanks to those who made this happen.... soon I can test 3G too! omg i cant wait
[HD2 Android SD Development] PINki92:
I use the data.img from feb 16. I have partitioned sd card but my sd-ext folder is empty.

Is this because I use old data.img?

And why button savior app keeps reinstalling after every reboot? I deleted it from Android app folder.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
On Which carrier are you?

I was told by Rogers and Fido that 3G doesn't work on Tmo HD2.

Although Rogers/Fido 3G is 850 and 1900 MHz bands which Tmo HD2 has....weird huh
[HD2 Android SD Development] damathos:
Sorry, when I told you I've even tried erasing the ext3 partition, I wasn't clear enough... my fault :(

(btw, thanks for that clear explanation ;) )

What I've done after the first error is:

1/ try uninstall & reinstall the soft - didn't worked

2/ - format my sd card, including fat32 partition (so no more data.img), ext3 partition and linux swap partition... so there is nothing left on the card, right ?

- then do a fresh & clean install of your 21FEB build, wait for the new data.img to be created.

- then copy the leo.gps file, reboot.

- then install co-pilot, and then... boom ! same error message...

3/ do all the things in the second point above, except that I've done a fresh & clean install of the 19FEB build, and... boom, it works...

Again, sorry I wasn't clear enough... I just don't understand what's wrong :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
hey ! dont be sorry its all good.

okay so here's something we can work with. i dont have co pilot so i cant really test it.. does anyone else have it.. or a copy they dont use so i can test it ??? not to keep!

@ button savior re-installing.. you get your own post ;) because....
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
SENARIO 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as previously mentioned there is a senario that I havn't .. possibly cannot account for. (see previous posts for list of senarios 1 through 3)

continued:

4. You uninstall an app. Android removes this app from data.img

(rm /data/app/BLAH.apk).

However now, you have created a senario 1 for this app. And on your next reboot it gets replaced from the sd-ext.

BAM! ... so how to get around this? well after you uninstall an app, you gotta navigate to /sd-ext/app/ and delete it from here manually.

how am I going to fix this? I donno yet. I'm working on it.

congrat on unknowingly pointing out senario 4. :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
rogers and fido just told you that so they could sell you one of their phones.

no joke.

I've been using an unbranded eu hd2 in canada, since the first month they were being sold, had it shipped in from the UK. The only problem is that I only get 2G because the 3g carriers are different in EU then they are in NA.

Rogers At&t Fido Tmo etc..... all use the same carriers for 3G.

So all you need is a NA hd2 and a provider sim card.

BAM
[HD2 Android SD Development] nygmam:
Was a patched ROM posted, or do I still need to do this?

Thanks, and really nice ROM.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
I've had my Tmo HD2 since November and when I wanted to add data plan 3G, they asked what phone I have, I said Tmo HD2, they replied that only 2G will work and not 3G after specifically telling them about frequency (1 rep and one customer support guy).

And I am even stupider for actually listening to them and not registering after even looking at the Specs sheet of Rogers/fido and Tmo HD2.

Going tomorrow to activate 3G
[HD2 Android SD Development] flexedrubi:
no 3g/4g

i only have edge,anyone else in usa having this prob on this build?my other 2 hd2 and 1 hd7 phones all get H/4g .
[HD2 Android SD Development] jhono235:
The only problem I'm having with the TMOUS build is that I cannot send mms.
[HD2 Android SD Development] flexedrubi:
same here...hope this gets fixed.i did receive a mms but no send
[HD2 Android SD Development] warrenb213:
guys i went through this with copenhagen earlier.

are you guys on 2g/edge ONLY HD2's? Copenhagen found out earlier on this style HD2 that if he set it to use 2g networks only, he went then went to mms message me and it worked flawlessly.

whereas mine is 3g capable and sends PERFECT on t-mobile with the settings provided. maybe a lil blurry but it works. also turn wifi off when mms'ing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] flexedrubi:
no wifi and its a branded t-mobile hd2 bought at t-mobile in Colorado
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
try this for me..

go into settings -> wireless and networks ->

check use only 2g data. exit to home screen @ let data connect (hopefully your arrows will turn green)

then go back and uncheck use 2g data only.

when data connects try to send an mms.

(warren sent me one this evening from tmo and I sent him one back from rogers 2g.. so we know its working..)
[HD2 Android SD Development] copenhagen:
AHAHHAh

2 @ once support :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] JustX:
For the 3000th tiime, you can try an alternative mms app to send and receive mms messages if you are on TMOB US. I personally use goSMS. It's free in the market.

EDIT: There is a power control widget included in this build and really makes it easy to toggle wifi/data/airplane mode on and off. Whenever I lose data. I just tap that button, wait, then tap it again. Data always connects fine. Same with wifi. How many of you use the power control widget that is included in this build?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jhono235:
I have the T-Mobile branded hd2 also. Turned wifi off and the mms sent immediately. Also I set my custom user agent as "NexusOne" and my messages are no longer blurry when receiving. Great build guys. Thanks Warren n Cope.
[HD2 Android SD Development] jhono235:
Maybe, just maybe, we would like the use the mms app that we already have. But I played around with go SMS for a while, I can confirm it does work, with a few nice themes also. Thanks bro.

my lips r shut! not telling till someone finds it..

(p.s. hd2 does not house a ffc. unfortunetly this will never happen for our hd2's)

i did see someone speaking about a mini strap on parascope.... ... gotta tell ya...

i would buy one of those :) if they were ever actually made ;)

P.S. Happy 700th page! :)

oh btw.... due to my recent experience with the dialer lag, (and the amount of changes to the code over the past week)

i have included both the htcleo.acdb and the default.acdb.

if

you do end up with robot voice or a lagged dial screen / audio (just in case)

just remove the /system/etc/firmware/htcleo.acdb and reboot (if im right, you shouldnt have to worry about this at all)

[HD2 Android SD Development] Rooster100:
So I tested this out with 3 different chargers and two types of USB cable- data USB cable and charging only USB cable- and got some weird results, but no problem with phone/ music operation etc- check this out:

With one of the wall chargers (basic HTC supplied one), it would simply charge as you would expect with both types of cables. But with my car charger and other "travel" (3-in-1 wallcharger/car/9V battery input) if I used the data USB cable I get the "USB Debugging" notification and then the option to "Select to copy files to/ from computer" as if it were plugged in to PC. If I use the charge only USB cable with these then I get no notification etc and it simply charges. Weird heh? But anyway it has never been a problem because I simply ignore the notification, and the phone will operate as normal, including playing music etc.

Not sure how useful this little test was, but it seems to show that it's not the cable causing this little oddity but the charger somehow. And perhaps to eliminate the possibility of this happening, then use a charge only USB cable if it is a problem. But like I said- it hasn't effected the way I use the phone anyway so have never thought much about it until I saw your post.:) .

HTC Sync

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I searched the thread but could not find the answer.

Does this ROM work with HTC Sync on the PC?

It shows up as an ADB Interface in device manager, and I can see the SD card in Explorer, but HTC sync can not find it?

I have killed off DroidExplorer which used to block HTC Sync from working on other ROMs I have tried which worked OK.

Best regards.

14theroad
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmeriCanAndroid:

htcsync requires htc sense.

use m.google.com in winmo to your gmial and from gmail to your android.

both of these are in the faqs.
