Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

i had miri 6.5x rom with radio 210.26 desire biuld v4 voice and data was working fine then i tried nrg rom with 210.26 and got no voice
but i noticed that with miris rom i had to turn wm both system and ringer volume all the way down then back up then boot android and voice worked
nrgs roms dont have the option of duel volume setting just the htc volume maybe thats the problem?

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

Giving that a try. Before I could shutdown I got a force close for the android.process and it continues even after a restart so im formatting the sd card and reloading from scratch. V4 is definitely faster and seems to be more stable excluding that problem.

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

guys try this to get voice working i just tried it with nrgs rom using v4 and ALL SOUNDS are working fine
install this tb turn both wm volumes down then all the way up and boot into android
also i attached duel boot for those who want it if using desire biuld just rename folder to Android and restart for duel boot

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

It's kinda sad that the only talk going on in the HD2 forum is Android. Guess considering I baled on sprint when I could have had the EVO, I don't understand the obsession other than to say "we did it".

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

That's all it really comes down to. Not only to say "we did it" but just to have something to play with. Something to piss off Android users. I find it funny when you have somebody giving you shit saying how WinMo sucks because of this or that. You prove them wrong by doing pretty much what ever they can in Android with in WinMo then going as far as to boot into Android and run what ever app they are bragging about then booting back into WinMo.

Plus since I'm always dealing with clueless people it's nice to know how to use their phone even when it's another OS then what you normally use.

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

I'm with Wil. Everyday people talk about how amazing android is and how horrible Winmo is. I am the only person in my store that isnt using an android device (work for tmo). Over the last few days they have finally started believing me when I tell them that WinMo is the best operating system once you know how to work it.

In other news: Have the newest desire build running fully. Changed radio to 2.10 and that brought back the ability to configure apn. Gained consistent audio in the earpiece but lost speakerphone. Running Steve and Miri's Elegancia Rom 6.5.x

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

This website has notoriously been CDMA based also, so i'm surprised there's much talk at all with this being a GSM phone. I've been around here for 3 or 4 years and barely ever went to XDA, now things have changed since i finally switched over to GSM.

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

Max, that worked PERFECT! Downloaded the COM2 EnergyROM, installed that taskbar, turned windows volume down then immediately back up, ran Haret and audio works in call while in Android! Thank you Sir for the help!

I'll be spending all my time in Android now because I'm not a fan of EnergyROM's!

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

if im not mistaken i beleive it has to do with roms that have single volume control that doesnt allow sound on droid
i tried miris rom and that has duel volume and it allowed me to turn both volumes up and down
so basically you can use any rom and if it dont have duel volume then install the task bar turn both volumes all the way down then up and load droid
after u can uninstall the tb
i have nrg 6.5x glass rom using duel boot and v4 and all sound is working even media
only thing and i wonder if anybody else getting this im not getting the battey to charge while on droid

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

I am getting the battery to charge while in android but have to wait til it has fully booted to plug the charger in. I had it plugged in when I ran haret and the charging led stayed on even after the charger was removed and the battery status said it was discharging while plugged in.

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

Unless i plug it in and run haret mine will show that it's charging in Android but not really charge. Maybe it's just because it's plugged into my pc and not enough current to actually charge?

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

Anyone getting HTC Sync to work while in Android?

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

That may be the case. I booted android this morning when I took my phone off the charger, then plugged it back in once fully booted and now back in windows the phone is still at 100%.

Are you talking about activsync? If so I have it setup and it syncs my contacts, calendar and emails.

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

No activesync is for when you're booted into Windows...HTCSync is the program Android users use for syncing to Windows OS.

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

I tried last night with no luck also battery looks like its charging but its not

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

It seems that it does some times and doesn't others Max...i'm not sure of the rhyme and reason behind it but sometimes it does charge for me...

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

Doesn't matter what version I run the phone will recognize the phone carrier but I can't get it to access the net. If I go into APN settings there is nothing in the list or any options or buttons to try and manually add it.

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

that happened to me a couple of times i just had to reboot into android mode a few times and it allowed me to set it

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

You need to go into APN settings, then press the Windows hard key on your phone, it will bring up the option to add a new APN.

Darkstone is uploading V5 now, suppose to be much improved!

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

Ya I have V5 and it still wasn't playing nice. I deleted the data.img and loaded it one more time and it finally let me get to the screen to add the APN. It connects just fine now.

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

Has anyone noticed any improvements thus far in v5? I'm downloading now and will give it a go. It seems the more you boot a particular build, the worse the performance gets. I ran v4 last night for a few hours straight and using the phone the whole time, while today I couldn't boot without immediately recieving force close errors for the android system process.

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

I was in there the other day returning my wife's loaner phone from when wirefly sent us a doa hd2 and I overheard a couple of CS guys talking to customers about how android was better and they had to return their hd2 because it wasn't for them.
Hard to sell a product you don't understand.

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

can't you just go under the settings and change the volume settings?
settings/ sounds and displays/ under volume, toggle Single Volume.

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

anybody try to add costum themes wit success?

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

Sense Version 5 is out, grab it from the link on first post, It is AMAZING speed is fast, everything works on my setup, voice is crisp and clear, getting fast 3G, HSPA, it charges just fine, running Sense UI with LWP and lots of widgets and it is still running fast off a class 2 SD. This build is just great!

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

I've been running it since about 6pm last night and i haven't had 1 problem yet. Haven't made a call yet to see if you need to do the volume up/down trickery but everything else works great!

Finally made a call and it works great...you also don't need to do the volume up/volume down trickery in Windows before booting Android to get the voice working!

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

Very true, from my experiences, there are very few people who work for tmo (or any carrier for that matter) who know windows or have taken the time to learn the phones. The majority of people I saw buy the phone when it released were buying it for the screen and had no idea how to use the phone.

V5 does seem faster than v4. Was able to load without any immediate force closes but still having the problem of not being able to get to some menus, mainly the apn to configure data. Doing a restart and trying again.

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

I haven't had this problem at all.

what specific problem are you running into with this?

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

It seems on the initial boot the windows hard key only pops up the menu on specific screens for me. I power cycled the device, went back in and was able to access the menus and configure without any problems. Haven't had any force closes on this boot either. It may be just the combination of rom and radio I am using that is causing the problem. Not sure what this build has changed within the touchscreen parameters but I can now play Fishin2Go just like it was on an actual android device. No more downtime at work!

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

I have tried sense since version 0.5 and I can say v.5 is good. In short of a few months Android has developed faster than ever. Heck even beating the touch pro 2 progress. It's still have issues and I will use windows mobile but I like having choices in my OS. Though I would love the x10 or the meego OS on it, HTC sense works too.

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

July 22nd zImage up on Cotulla's site...guess i'm guinea pigging it!

EDIT: Here's the notes from the ReadMe -

22.07.2010:

1. fixed several errors which can cause system halt (related to i2c)
2. increased i2c stability (maybe gsensor are more slow now, should be checked)
3. AC charging supported now, about 1000 ma.
4. Added CPU voltage change, cpu not so warm now
5, experimental anti speedy (should be tested)
5. various small fixes

DATA is working in this image, as well as old features.

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

how's it looking?

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
 

Only been a few minutes but i did notice my phone started charging immediately, no more plugging - booting - unplugging - plugging to get it to charge...

DATA is working, doesn't seem any slower overall...

Re: Android on HD2 Updates!
