[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] baleno_467:
Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use Android for my HTC HD2(vodafone branded) last week i have downed and installed the latest rom of Vodafone wich results in the SPL version 3.03

Before flashing my ROM i would like to use the SD version first to get to know the difference between Android and WM6.5

After that i would like to permanently use the ROM version of Android.

I'v read a lot of topics about Android but i cant find a topic were you get the info and step by step tutorial from scratch to a good working Android system.

What i do know from the topics is that Android only runs from 2.08 and i have 3.03 so i have to use HSPL4.

I also would like to backup the Dutch Vodafone ROM if ithat is needed.

So maybe someone can tell me what to do to get first Android on SD card working and then if the interface of Android is the thing i would like to have how to get it flashed to my ROM.

Hardware HTC HD2

Vodafone Branded(Dutch)

Software SPL 3.03 with vodafone crap.

Greetings

Hi, this thread will answer all of your questions.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] baleno_467:
I'v postet a message about installing Android on my HD2.

I got refered to a topic wich is guide how to.But reading this i still dont understand if i have to use HSPL4 because my SPL is 3.03.

There is also something about your bootloader, in some pictures i saw an andoid icon on the HTC-sense menu.

So now my wish is to install android only on the SD card wich can be started from the HTC-sense app or the SPB mobile shelle app i dont want a question or program on my bootup to switch between android or winmo, because this would be program that will be installed BEFORE the bootup from winmo6.5 so if your phone crashes,bricks or your installing a new original ROM this will result in an error message because the link to the boot sequence is gone.

Resuming everything

What Android software custom or whatever do i need for installin on a SD card

Do i need HSPL to protect my original ROM before using the sofware SD android version

Do i need the bootmenu

Can i replace the vodafone branded ROM to an Original HD2 ROM so the vodafone bootlogo is gone and all the other vodafone crap.

I would be very gratefull if you can tell me how to realise this.

Software Android first and pherhaps later the ROM version

HTC HD2

Manilla 2.5.20181527.1

Rom version 3.14.172.3(04666)NLD

ROM date 12/15/10

Radio 2.15.50.14

Protocol 15.42.50.11U

SPL 3.03

This is a vodafone Branded phone

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] baleno_467:
Ok so if i'm using the setup android files till 400 i will have an android system on my ROM.What system am i installing the FRODO or the Gingerbread and wich version.

Also Resuming i have to use the HSPL 4 version and select the 2.08 SPL version...Do i also have to update the radio and manilla version because im going back to a former system software or can i use the setup android files after this.After installing the setup android files is android then ready for using or will i have to do something else.

By the way thanks for your help.:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] baleno_467:
Another question my HD2 doesn't have the 576MB RAM it has 448MB and Flash MEM of 512MB, do i have to install a different ROM to get the prefered 576MB to Run Android on a SD card.

And finally can i install without using the HSPL the original HTC ROM instead of the Vodafone branded ROM.Because i'm gettinng the idea that the vodafone Branding is just a software brand and not an Hardware brand
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] baleno_467:
Because there is still no one replying or posting to this topic after my two questions.

I tried two different Android versions the gingerbread version and the frojo version with sense.

these two i'v started with CLRCAD and Haret in the explorer of windows mobile each on an different SDHC Card, after this the Android OS is booting and working but the Frojo version is draining the battery life and is slow in operating, The gingerbread version is more faster then the Frojo and easy to use.

the Frojo version is more finished i think because everything works. it automaticly installs the right setting for mms and internet for your provider.Instead the Gingerbread you have to do al yourself

MCCM_GB_Gingerbread_HoneyComb_Sense_v2.1.1._SD__Android_2.3.2_

and the other is the

MCCM_HD_V4.0__Desire_HD_

Just up graded to SGS4G. Got rooted OK. Installed Titanium backup and backuped system and data good. got Rom manager installed and clockworkmod 2.5.1.2 OK. when I try to "Backup Current Rom" system restarts, I see a blue text on top a android man bellow with a triangle with a ! inside, two lines of yellow text and it won't go into option for nandroid backup. I have the four options on top in blue but does not go into mounting external SD. AnY thoughts??

New to the gtab and loveing it so far. Currently running vegan 5.1 the battery indicator never shows100%. 95% at best. Thats on the top. On the bottom it shuts down at the15% mark. No warning at all. Any fix that I have some how missed in my 3 hours of searching?
[G Tablet General] Mantara:
Search the thread [Q] Battery level. This is very common and can be fixed easily. One method is to drain battery till it shuts down on its own, then plug in and boot into recovery. Under advanced options you can erase battery status and then restart. I had to do it a few times then it stuck.

Good luck.

I got the same as you on my work laptop but not on my home one, both have win7 64bits. Only difference between the 2 is that I've upgraded my work laptop to Win7 SP1 which just came out.

So my question is, have you also upgraded to win7 sp1? I think it might be the problem, I'm anyway planning a clean install of my work laptop this week-end with SP1 and will post the results afterwards to see if it's related to that upgrade.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djcedric:
i think i have done the update yes,thanks to post your results because im still not able to connect today...
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djcedric:
im pretty shure we need to change some drivers because it's working well on my other pc win7 x86 insteed of x64 where it is not working....

i really need a solution guys :)

the service pack 1 was not installed and it was not working also so you have to try,i have tried and not working :)
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djcedric:
i think i need drivers for usb3 because my laptop is usb3,does someone know if there are some drivers for usb3 so i can recognize my device when plugin.

THX
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jemaho:
So, after reinstalling my laptop (win7SP1- 64 bits) I wasn't still able to flash anything, and I saw that by going to the bootloader, Windows was trying to load qualcomm cdma drivers. And it popped out into my mind, I had removed WMDC, thinking I wouldn't need it anymore.

So by reinstalling WDMC (windows mobile device center), it installed again the needed drivers for the pone to be recognised into the bootloader, and voilà, working again.

Hope this will help you out too.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrwnSuperman:
First of all this belongs in General discussion.

What color is the recovery you're seeing? If it's red, then apply update.zip and it should reboot into orange which is 3.0. If it's green try flashing through Odin. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942021

Where can i find the update.zip? I am on red, I think, but it say Vooddoo Lag Fix Recovery v2.5.1.x
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RacerXFD:
This is the one you want. The voodoo red version is the one that works. The orange version doesn't actually work. Sure the edify scripts are pretty cool, but after trying to use it to flash anything, orange cwm is buggy. Wait for jt and co. to tweak it for us. No offense against koush, but he just makes generic cwm that doesn't do all the necessary functions that we need such as battery stat wipe and others.

Here is a good way to determine if cwm orange is useful. Wait for adrynalyne to recommend it. He's been extremely faithful to help fix phones and with development.

Also, orange is not needed until gingerbread which we are waiting on sammy to do a code drop on us.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldManJames:
mount points arent wrong but edify doesnt mount stuff correctly. Its weird and a lot of issues are edify related

[Xoom Themes and Apps] ixobelle:
Heya,

Pretty basic tutorial on how to get rid of the god awful honeycomb clock font.

1) find a font you like, make sure it's a TTF (True Type Font).

2) make three copies of said font, and name them:

AndroidClock.ttf

AndroidClock_Solid.ttf

AndroidClock_Highlight.ttf

3) Get them on your xoom (email them to yourself, connect via USB and stick them in a folder, whatever floats your boat).

4) fire up Root Explorer (or your file browser of choice) and navigate to /system/fonts

5) rename the existing files listed above, just in case you ever want them back.

You can see the ones in hot pink are the actual files that get read, and the blue ones are those I've renamed by adding an "x" to the end of the name.

6) drop your own files in that folder. Be aware that Android is case sensitive, so "AndroidClock.TTF", as well as "androidclock.ttf" would both fail.

7) profit

Again, this is hardly a "tutorial" and more like "hey just replace some basic files".

Get to the lock screen and you can see right away the fruits of your labor:

In order to see the lower right hand clock change, you'll need to reboot:

I'm not wild about the font I used in my demo here. It looks alright in the corner, but the lock screen looks bad. Then again, I don't really use the lock screen (No Lock app FTW), so meh.

Hit the thanks button if you love me.

<3
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ixobelle:
oops, forgot to explain why there are three versions of the font... I mean, it's pretty basic... but if you look at the original clock font, certain parts "show through" the font and are more opaque then others... the "_Solid" is only parts of the numbers, and the "_Highlight" serves a similar function. Basically, as you can see in my screens above, my entire font is opaque, since I'm using the same file in all three places.

If you want to get fancy and edit a TTF you could end up with really nice drop shadows or whatever. I'm just showing you how to do it. The creative part is in your hands ;)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keitht:
Is it really that bad? lol. I don't think it is bad but to each his own. Thanks for giving more options.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] FuzeAction:
Regardless of how you feel about the stock font, this is a great tutorial for customizing your Xoom and making it your own.

Thanks for a great post!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Awesome!

One question I have. Since the original Honeycomb clock uses three fonts, is it possible to nix two of them and just have one font load?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ixobelle:
I'll go out on a limb and say "probably yes".

I say this because during my font shuffling last night, I would up with two different fonts overlapping each other. I had one Bauhaus style font named AndroidClock.ttf, and one that was a handwriting style named AndroidClock_Solid.ttf... since they were totally different, I was able to see one through the other, and it was generally a jumbled mess.

I reckon you could get rid of _Solid and _Highlight if you just want a single semi-transparent font file being loaded.

I'll also throw out that you'll need to experiment with which fonts work... some look great on the lock screen, but then have the bottom 10 pixels or so cut off while it's in the corner... other times it looks great in the corner, but has a few pixels cut off on the lock screen. Something about the native size of the font probably comes into play.

I'm still poking around with options... currently running a "busted old typewriter" font that looks kinda cool.

Will probably poke around with making custom _Solid and _Highlight pieces, and maybe trimming the font down to just the numbers to lighten the load. I work in IT at an art school, so we certainly have a zillion apps to dink around with fonts on the machines here. ;)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RadDudeTommy:
So if I want to design this, what you're saying is, _Solid is where I need to have my completely opaque file, _Highlight is where i put what i want my shadow file to look like?

Whats the other file do?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ixobelle:
just grab the TTFs off the Xoom, and get them on your windows desktop. Double clicking a TTF in windows will open up a preview of what the font file is "made" of (what the font looks like, different sizes it will scale to, etc).

It's pretty apparent looking at the file. I'll grab some screen caps in a sec...

edit** here ya go, you can see which each font "does"... I'm going to mess around in FontLab Studio tonight and see what I can come up with.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Sprockethead:
Where do you get the fonts from? Can I just move them over from my windows fonts folder and they will work?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] quickmetal:
Have you figured out/found how to change clock colors yet?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Lakota:
As long as you name them accurately and make sure they are TTF then yes.

I've just tried it with the Calibri font from Windows fonts folder and it's a vast improvement already!

One pointer (on something that threw me for a few seconds) is when you're in Root Explorer make sure you set it to Read/Write access otherwise you'll just get an error message about protected read only system files.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vermiciouskanid666:
hmm...

I wonder what's causing the edges of some fonts to get cut... I tried changing the glyph size. I thought it might be the larger characters some fonts have but the glyph size didn't seem to make a difference.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] EwanG:
Just curious if you ever came up with something you want to share? I use the lock screen version as my alarm clock, but it is hard to read sometimes - 5's and 3's in particular.

Hi!

i'll buy HD2, this is because experience WP7.

The reason for this strange thinking, was after the announcement of the partnership between Microsoft and Nokia.

I enjoy not wm and also stopped to buy Nokia phones, But what made me re-thinking is wonderful Nokia N900 running Maemo, After the powers given by Microsoft to Nokia, Imagine the improvements to the WP7.But my fear I do not like this system, so i'll try it in HD2. if i like it i will buy nokia's WP phone. if i don't i will sell it.

What do you think . Is my thinking correct ?

2nd

Questions:

-Any problems with android and WP7 on HD2 ?

-There are two versions of HD2 European and U.S. & the second is better than the first in the rom and the ram. Do the European have a negative impact on WP7.

sry for my bad language
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
The only person who can take a final decision is you.

WP7 is a totally new approach, inspired by iOS, and not as open as Windows Mobile or Android.

In my personal opinion, HD2, as of today, is quite an economic way to go, you can actually run 3 platforms without big flaws: WinMo, WP7, and Android. None of those makes big problems, while WP7 feels as "native" on HD2 like on any "official" WP7 device.

If you are more into tweaking and modding, WinMo and Android will remain your favorites, maybe some other OS´s in the future, who knows. I own my HD2 since the day it was available in my country, never had any problems, and I flashed probably 50 or even more times. Currently, I run WP7 because I got tired of all the modding and tweaking, and I like the flawless operation of WP7. Sometimes I go back to my "fallback" WinMo ROM for eye candy.

If you´re not sure what to do, why don´t you try to get a hand on some devices to compare the platforms. Keep in mind that an HD2 runs several OS´s, that is definitely unique. It might be worth to give it a try if you´ve got the funds. And as soon as Nokia will be ready, the other manufacturers will have new generation devices on the market, too.
