[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Blacklight-IT:
Hi there

So I'm reading for a while the topics about android on SD Card, but I couldn't fix some issues and I hope you'll get me out:

1) Can I use the original ROM from my HD2 and install Android on a SD Card

2) Is there a possibility to install Android on the SD Card and get a boot loader where I can choose between a WinMo boot and an Android boot or do I have to boot always WinMo 6.5 before booting Android?

3) I read that the speed with the SD Card Mode is slower than the other ways, how can I understand that? Do I have to wait longer during the boot of android or are there also speed problems while working with android?

4) Also on the speed problem: Which SD Card would you recommend for Android on SD? Are there any measurable speed differences between the CD Classes?

best regards
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Samdeath:
Yes you can install android on SD and use WM6.5. Its what most of us did back when you couldn't NAND boot android. There are several bootloaders around yes, however you always have to boot into windows in order to boot SD android. This means android SD boot time is much much longer than NAND, however this is not really that big of a problem. As with the speed problems with the ROM itself, well lets just say i much rather prefer NAND to SD, I used SD for a long time and NAND was something that made me very happy. I didnt really see a problem with SD builds however I simply felt more secure using NAND. Also, with an SD build the speed of the phone is dependent on your SD card class, most SD cards are class 2, mine is class 6 and my SD build worked fine however I have seen people saying its slower with a lower class card. I don't know whether its actually a real issue, like you need a class 4 card to run android properly however people sometimes complain. This however could simply be their ROM's/Phones being slow.

Does this version (FEB 14)[SD]MCCM HD V4.0 [DESIRE HD Sense] Perfect [kernel gauner1986's] work at anyobody with the original ROM ( 3.14.207.1 ) and 2.15.50.14 Radio ?

My actual version is the

[Dec 18][RAM] darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5 [kernel: Hastarin custom]

and it works.

The installation of the MCCM is exactly the same but it doesn't work.

When my device reboots there is the HTC logo on a white background and i have waited for an hour but nothing happend.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Blacklight-IT:
Sounds good. So what I don't understand: Booting Android from SD Card - does WinMo Shutdown or does it still run in the background? So is the full capacity of the CPU & RAM available or not?

I think a Class 6 16GB should be enough for that game. I actually like my original ROM and would like to try android just for fun, so I think the NAND Method wouldn’t be that, what I’m looking for.

Do I have to buy a card reader for my SD Card?

Any other experiences with Android on a SD Card?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] King-Chris111:
My opinion about Android on a SD card is very positive.

My version is very stable.

Until now I hadn't problems with any bugs.

The browser is very fast, the camera good, the connection to WiFi is perfect and all games work :)

But it's clear that you have to charge your mobile often ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Samdeath:
SD android also has a high battery drain, I dont know the exact figures but i think in standby sd builds are 5-10mA, where most NAND builds are 2-5. You wouldn't NEED to get a card reader, however it would be an extreme help. SD android is very good, however NAND is better for me because personally, android blows the socks off WM6.5, so I just decided to go all out. SD android runs on top of WM6.5 yes, however WM6.5 is shut down so you do get the full power of ram/cpu etc.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] smeddy:
I love SD, partly because I love my build (Black&Blue Remix), and have been rock-solid on it since November. I keep trying other SD Builds, as well as NAND builds, but I'm so hapyp with my set-up I have no desire to change, at least until builds with updated Sense/GingerBread/Honeycomb come out :)

I've got the Extended Battery pack so maybe that sways my judgement.

But I have no qualms in recommending SD!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] King-Chris111:
Has no one any information ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Blacklight-IT:
Sounds good. Thanks :)

To make this part clear: I can only download a Android ROM, put it on my SD Card, insert it in my HD2 and here we go? HSPL is only needed when I'm trying to flash android?

So the question to you is:

What do you understand under high battery drain? I recharge my phone every night, not depending if it's empty or not (does this have an influence on battery life btw?), so... does the battery last for 2-3 hours of surfing, emails ... on sd android ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traithudo:
Normally I hate haptic feedback, and set vibration for notification only. But today I got a Galaxy S which completely does not vibrate. Ok, I set everything that could possibly make it vibrate, but it still does not.

Is this a hardware issue or can it be fixed by any other software solution?

Please help :(

PS: I applied 3-button combo fix by ODIN3 method. Unfortunately, I did not pay attention to this issue before applying the fix, can this be a possible cause of the problem?:(

Thanks

Yes if the problem was not there before ..

Try a factory reset.

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traithudo:
Thanks for your reply. I did a factory reset, but the issue remains. I heard somewhere it might be caused by installing OCLF, which I also did...

I found an item name /lib/modules/vibrator.ko, guessing this is something to do with vibration and tried out but got no luck yet...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
JJEgan, what's with you and not using the "quote" function? It's confusing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guestx00325:
what firmware are you on?

i had this weird issue on the bell i9000M on the stock 2.1 firmware (whatever the firmware version was before JH2). my text message notifications would not vibrate when i received them, but after i updated the firmware, the issue was gone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traithudo:
Mine won't vibrate at all. I am using Froyo, and have flashed a few ROMs to see if they help. No luck so far though. I am kinda thinking of sending it back to the seller
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guestx00325:
Yeah, it sounds like a hardware issue then if you're already running froyo. Hopefully they'll send you a new one that works.
[General Questions and Answers] arthurcswang:
Is it possible?

Frame rate is not important. 2fps~5fps still ok, but the resolution should be 720/864/1024/1366/1920. voice should sync with screen.

Is that easy to implement this mod?

I really need it; low resolution = no use for me.

[Touch HD General] theq86:
Hi,

I'm using xdandroid 2.21 on my blackstone and noticed some redundancy. the end call hw button is assigned to turn off phone, and the turn off phone hw key is also assigned to that.

Back is assigned to Back

Home is assigned to the Menu key (the popup menu from below)

The Call key is assigned to the call action.

So two buttons are assigned to the same action and the (for me) most important key is not assigned, the home key.

So if I browsed a little time in the web and want back to the homescreen, I have to use the back key. so I have to go through all the sites I have browsed.

Is there a way to change the hw key assignments on the blackstone?
[Touch HD General] g3rm0:
Open "Spare parts" app and change end button behavior to "Go to home". Unfortunately there's no other way for now.
[Touch HD General] kruijs:
Keymappings are declared in ".kl" files in the /system/usr/keylayout/ folder.

I'm at work now, can't remember which keyboard layout is used for blackstone (some rhodium .kl file, I vaguely remember, but it is build dependent, I've also seen the general qwerty.kl being used)

For modifying the file, see for example http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=683902, and http://forum.samdroid.net/f56/modifying-keymap-2717/, lots of fun to be had!

For more info, see also

http://www.kandroid.org/android_pdk/keymaps_keyboard_input.html

Anyway, for a quick solution: A recent rootfs.img for blackstone with nice keymappings in the .kl file can be found in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=936601

But be aware that that replaces more than just the .kl file!

Your current build might need the rootfs.img it came with, and another option is to modify the rootfs.img and modify the .kl files there.

That however involves mounting .ext2 partitions, which is no fun in Windows :)

Cheers,

Robbert

[Defy General] narf:
Hi All,

After having HTC Windows mobile phones for quite a few years, i've gone to an Android Motorola Defy.

Its frustrating for me to get used to, I love the idea of Cab files and the simple installs. The .apk system seems to be the go, but my question relates to the Market.

Is there a market app for the Defy? If so is there any reason for it not to be there from the start?

I setup a google account, but there isnt a market in the launcher, i have been through searching for the vending.apk which another site had said was the market installer.

Tried downloading a market.apk file but it has a parsing error...

Used astro file manager searching everywhere for anything i thought could work.

What do i need to do?

Any info/suggestions welcome!

Cheers,

Nathan.
[Defy General] Peglezn:
thats strange, what rom are u using?
[Defy General] narf:
Its a stock rom, literally only got the phone today!

From the about phone details

moto_version.2.54.0.mb525.Retail.en.ME1

firmware version 2.1-Update1

Kernel 2.6.29

I thought it was odd to be honest.

My mates HTC Desire worked out of the box...as many others seem to.
[Defy General] narf:
Ok,

I think i found a way round it, after a bit more searching i found a vending.apk that works on this rom.

Heres a link in case anyone has similar probs, there is an Apk file in the zip file in the system/app folder, running that on the defy it had an error on install but closed and restarted and all appears ok!

http://www.mediafire.com/?qacks5flbor595z

Correction, - all appears ok, but after trying to install one or two apps it comes up with an error.

the application market (processcom.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly please try again. (Force close)

this is a bit odd as it browses and does everything as normal untill it begins to download then crashes.
[Defy General] Peglezn:
thats the first time i see 2.54 build

[Defy General] narf:
It seems that hard to know whats going on with it all the motoblur stuff and the customised roms, thats what i hated about the Xperia X2 with sony ericsson not releasing any substantial updates.

Most of the Defy's in Australia are the telstra next g (850mhz/2100mhz) I got a (900mhz/2100mhz) for use on Vodafone, and if i change to optus it will work on that.

I wouldnt mind seeing a Telstra version close up, might try checking them out at the telstra shop and see if they have the market.

Will keep mucking round with it, won't be long and i'll flash a new rom.
[Defy General] drsouly:
now thats strange ... any Android phone that meets google's system requirements, should have a market app "out of the box"...

[Defy General] aaatoel:
Very weird! I have never seen any android device without market app out of the box. Have you tried a reset to factory settings? Do you see the Market app in Settings--> Applications--> Application Management? (The translation may vary because I use defy in my native language).

If you do find it listed here you may be able to use it with an app like "Better Cut" by creating a shortcut for it. Of course, you have to find a way of getting that app onto your phone, such SD card etc.
[Defy General] scrannel:
Narf, where did you buy the phone? I see complaints from some users about the same issue and when they called the manufacturer (in two cases from a Samsung forum) were told this:

"I spoke with Samsung tech support in the UK and based on my IMEI they determined the phone was grey market imported from the United Arab Emirates where the Market app was not installed. There was nothing they were prepared to do to remedy the problem. I'm returning the phone to eXpansys UK now. "

"Have just finished speaking to Samsung and based on the IMEI and firmware the phone is also from the UAE and they are unwilling/unable to support it. It was purchased from http://www.crescentelectronics.co.uk"

Quotes came from here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android Market/thread?tid=378157a41cd6df08&hl=en

In one post on this forum a UAE user was able to get market on his phone by changing his IMEI number.
