The quickest way would be to load up another clean version changing the original to froyo boot it up & go to astro copy the build from system to SD or to the froyo version & restart then delete new version and paste the build into the original froyo & reboot

so i got my froyostone back to working
have pulled the build.prop from my shubcraft build... and pushed it to the froyostone build!!
hopefully the trick will work without that problem on my hopefully soon arriving android tablet

Next time, try backing up the android folder on ur SD card before changing anything.. that way a quick format and a trip to ur computer will get ur phone working again..

Can you share this file here? i got the same problem that many applications can't work with full screen, and i didn't backup this file...
thx~

Sorry for my Englisch.
Problems with the screen in fullscreen games.It is easy to change it.
Open the file with a text editor Build.Prop and edit the line of "ro.sf.lcd_density = 220" to "ro.sf.lcd_density = 240"

Followed the instructions and did this mod.
I sorta of like it. Didn't encounter any problems at all. It's hard to tell the difference. Some apps will support it, Sense UI does not.
The bigger question is. Does this impact battery life. I am still testing this..so right now that's debatable.

I set dpi to 192 and love it. Most apps show more info on screen, a few games are not clever enough.
After using WinMo for 2 years, I'm used to high precision "touching" :-D
A tip: download Spare Parts and use it to turn off compatibility mode.

Not exactly.
The app works but doesn't really make any difference to build.prop file nor does reboot the device.
Your can manually make the changes.
I set it to 200 and I use adw launcher to make usage of the extra space.

Black screen from changing build.prop
So i really wish I found this thread before i tried to change anything. So i also have the black screen when loading android after changing build.prop file, I did copy the file before I changed it. Now i just dont know how to get into the system folder to change it back because when i load android its all black. Can anybody help me here?

There are phones who hates Android? (they cant boot it)

Hello,
I think there are phones (like mine) that doesn't work right with android os. I tried a lot of builds and most of them crashes while booting.
With WMO the phone WORKS PERFECT!!
I tried
-task29,
-rewrite radio (2.12.50.02_2)
-Change a lot of SDCards of different marks. Formatting with panasonic tool and XP format at diferents cluster size (16k and 32k)
-rewrite WMO ROM (without 2.14 drivers) a lot of times.
I think there is something in the HW that hangs on booting process. Maybe setting the vdd of voltage regulator becouse some builds crash inmediatly after of this message.
I only have 3 functionaly builds (only with any seconds screen freezes):
mattc froyo sense 1.7
mdeejay froyo sense 2.0
mdeejay froyo sense 2.1
The rest are crashing!!!
Im going to put android boot logs with the hope that some good developer can determine this bug.
HANGS WHILE WHITE HTC WHITE SCREEN. Sometimes boot itselfs
-Shubcraft 1.5

Thanks for any help!!

Reading your post it seems you've tried almost everything, so just keep trying different radios and roms. And hope!! For everyone else who's confused about what to do when android wont boot:
1) Install Chuckys Droid Rom with the recommended radio, i believe 2.11/2.10 is the most stable.
2) Format your SD Card in Ubuntu as MBR then create a single FAT Partition. This is because once the partitioning is messed up xp cant fix it, this was the only way i found to get mine to boot properly.
3) Choose your android build carefully, my best luck has been with the CM6 based versions. As far as I know Shubcraft 1.5 is the most stable, but hyperdroid is very close and faster. If you use hyperdroid make sure you edit the startup.txt as the path to the android folder is incorrect and will fail to boot.
4) Enjoy Android!!

[Q] Facebook cant be uninstalled/ updated to newest version ?

Hey there guys,
I switched to android using Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 rEVOlution on my HTC HD2 and noticed it had facebook 1.3 .. So I tried updating it directly to 1.4 but it marketplace couldnt install it.
I manually deleted the folder in System and now I dont have facebook, mission accomplished ...
So I got the newer version manually and placed it in various locations in the sd card, but each time I run the program, it fails to install !!!
the installation page :
Install
Replace Application
OK
Install
Installing ...
Application not Installed
Done
Its not working .... what should I do ?

This happened to me also, so I changed to a newer build

Did you use Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3 rEVOlution before ?
If you did, to what build did you change to ? Is it as good as Mdeejay's ?

I have hyperdroid 1.7 and it doesnt install on there either...

before installing newer version try unmounting the sd card, install, then mount the sd card again, seems to sort most of these issues

Seems like unmounting and restarting the phone solved the problem ...
But now I dont have net connection

Problem | Android restores settings after reboot

every time i reboot my hd2 and go back to android, some settings go back to normal, for example:
ebuddy id goes back to blank
AnySoftKeyboard loses all the tweaks,
SetCPU loses all the configs after reboot..
anyone has an idea how to solve it?
i use MDJ 2.3 clean.
didnt change kernel or anything..
one thing that is being saved every time: HTC SENSE layout and everything related to sense. (all icons are saved every time)
(no, i do not touch data.img)

Have you got superuser installed? Is it working and up to date?
Sent from my hd2 desire

deleted data.img and solved..

Usually when you hit HOME on your phone, you should get 2 options to choose from if you have SBP Shell installed correctly. If by mistake you made regular option default then you can try one thing, go to settings>applications>manage applications>(find)SBP Shell 3d and then hit clear defaults. Then hit the HOME button. It should give you option to use SBP Shell.

I tried to do that but doesn't help. I also find a solution that i need to set spb as default and then restart phone. I did that and i "bricked" my HTC Now when i turning it on it turns off on the android logo during the restart...

Just for info. I had it work as the default on NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.5 and CMYLXGO's Stock Desire HD(2) NAND ROM [v1.1.10n].
What I did was I launch Shell3d once without making it a default. It takes a while to load the first time. Then I move around the screens a few times and hit the home two or three more times each time hitting shell3d. Then hit home one more time and set shell3d as the default.
