So far for me the Desire v5 has been rock solid. I've had only one person say they hear an echo from me. This was after I loaded the JMZ cab. Don't know if that's the reason? Everything else works pretty stable enough for me. I can't save pictures from the internet though (save as-- get's an error and forces a quit).
Froyo with the latest Cotulla zImage runs good too. I like it alot better(v1) but market place will not download apps and mobile network internet works kindof. I can't login to certin sites, Facebook for one but the facebook app works fine. WiFi all sites work. I do already have my t-mo APNs in there.
WHAT WORKS FOR YOU= ROMS AND ALL?
PS are these ROMs considered rooted?
to be honest don't really think there's any need for this thread, there are aldready threads open for people to discuss what is & what isn't working
Thanks, I wasn't sure if I wanted to post this in the thread. Useful or just useful to me?
I assure you that this thread is useful.
For me: I'm using Energy Rom (July 21) with Radio 2.12.50.02_2 and HSPL 2 and everything works fine except the Battery.. Desire v5 is kinda using alot of battery and Dans build is much worse and it kinda lags and things, and since i'm having that Sleep of death thing... i deleted it
That was my opinion
not bad
but not usefull either. Back to WinMo for now...
Hi, I'm using Desire V5, works like a charm. Unique problem is battery drain (lasts 8 hours with no data connection).
My settings: a 4GB class 2 SD, radio 2.12.50.02_2. The rom is the Axlor Leo v3.5 (win 23569). I can't hear people speaking in the phone, but they can hear me (but I know it's a winmo ROM problem)

hey i checked the radios and i went trough all of them, if this helps in any way id say use the 2.12.50.02...2
megaupload .com/?d=9GU2FF3X
i used most of them and the most i had was 3 bars in my house (Los Angeles) and now i have 4 bars and 3g at all times anywhere near my house

First let me say I find this thread very useful. I'd like to see more threads like this that follow a certain build (dan1j3l Froyo Desire Build, darkstone Eclair Desire Build, Froyo build by dan1j3l V1, etc). Then you throw in the variable of the zImage you're using. Otherwise you end up with 2 or 3 discussions with 500 posts.
Back on topic, I have desire v5 and Cotulla_zImage_CABDET_NOSPEEDDY.rar

Call audio on phone.
Very few stutters, no sleep of death.

Compass seems a little flakey, but works
Typing is very responsive

Not Working:
USB data connecti0n to transfer files.
Bluetooth headset connects, but no audio in calls (pretty universal issue on all builds)
This combo, with my radio and ROM are fast and stable enough for daily use. Unfortunately the lack of Bluetooth audio is a deal-breaker.

Exactly same ROM/RAM but using Leo_RADIO_2.07.50.27_2.
Everything works great but I don't seem to get GPS working with Google Navigation. How to test if GPS is working?
It isn't. Probably won't for some time. Don't think this is a dev priority.
I'm using stock wimo from htc 1.66, only updated the radio rom to 2.10.50.19.2. I'm using now dan1j3l-LeoFroyo-Sense-PR1 and it works good. There are some things bugging me. Can't get GPS to work, camera does not work, and with this build i get diferent icons on top (battery and signal) then with the stock nexus one rom, is this a cab that has to be uninstalled.
I'm can already switch between sense and stock, so thats good.
For the rest everyting works well and i would say that it is for me almost a daily use rom.
Anybody any idea how to get gps working and camera?
I got 1 ? How do I get rid of the robotic voice during calls? I have tmobile stock rom 2.13 and radio 2.10.50.26 and desire build v5 I also used nospeedy zimage. I need help everything else works great!
Issues
Using Dans Froyo with the latest zimage (25/7).
This is on Xannytech 2.3 and radio 2.12.
known issues are
Robotic voice. (Any tricks guys?)
Torch/flash does not work
GPS.
The rest seems good.

I didn't do anything special. When I started my Android journey, I couldn't get anything to load. Then I realized I had an outdated radio. I've always liked Dutty's ROMs so I loaded the one below and the most recent radio I could find.
I boot into WinMO. I already have HTC Sense killed because I just use SPB Mobile shell. I kill SPB Mobile shell and press CLRCAD.exe, then Haret.
I retested to make sure they're working. The GPS isn't working off WiFi. Google Maps always knows where I'm at and weather location is always where I'm at. I'm assuming GPS is working then.
However, I may be mistaken about the camcorder. I fires up and I and zoom in/out. However, double clicking the screen and it doesn't seem to be recording to memory.
to switch between sence and stock interface if that is what you mean.
---> settings ->Applications ->manage applications ->All ->HTC sense -> Force stop. then select the home button and there you can select HTC sense or Launcher.

thank you my friend
oh and one more thing how do i take a shot on camera
what do i press
anyone
I am running an HD2 with Froyostone 3.2.
I purchased a G2 and switched to Android web...using the Android SIM in the HD2...does it make a difference..Im not sure.
When in WinMo i can access the internet..and in Android as well, but i get alot of drops in the Android.
Anyone else try this ?
Edit: using darkstone [email protected] V3
Are you talking about your data plan on your contract/tariff?
They largely mean nothing important. APN's will invariable be the same (this especially rings true if you changed something on your tariff but nothing changed on your phone), it's just a way of the networks and carriers to try and make more money off people.
Thank you.
Can you tell me is there anything I can do to keep the network from dropping out so much. I read through some threads...but don't really understand what I need to so exactly
htc hd2 froyostone
Atm PPP data disconnects are a tricky beast to contend with. There are lots of threads that deal with the situation, but as far as I am aware (and it would be big news!) it's not been fixed permanently on any build.
I'm using Shubcraft 2.0 atm and my data only disconnects when I switch towers (basically when I travel outside of my local area) but turning my mobile data off then on again brings it back. It's a minor inconvenience to me, I know it's a great annoyance to others who aren't as lucky as me.
The only real advice I can give is keep reading those threads that deal with it, and see if other peoples fixes/workarounds work for you.
Thanks again....that's pretty much what I been doing disconnecting data...other than that..I have no other issues with this build
..I rarely even use the G2..hah
htc hd2 froyostone
Hi,
since some time, I am experiencing problems with my data connection. I dont really now, why but those persist through changes of AndroidOS, Radio and WM-ROM.
The Facts: HD2 european version, Operator: O2 Germany
The Problem in detail: When I am at home, I want to use my WLAN connection but some times, it doesnt connect to it. I have to manually go into the menu and reset my wlan-connection, so it works. Much more annoying is the fact, that when I am not at home (and WLAN is out of range), the phone often doesnt connect HSPA/3G/GSM/whatever and programms like maps, opera etc just claim to not having a data connection ready, though there are 2 to 4 bars. Only way to solve this -> go to flight mode, thet deactivate flight mode OR deactivate data connection, then reacivate it. Either way its annoing and mails won't be downloaded in this time, too.
My first setups, when I didnt have this problem where with WM OZDroid ROM, 2.12.50.XX Radio and many different Androidbuilts (no working compass / lightsensor etc - you know for sure ) Then I got to MDJ-Roms which I really liked and I never used another since those times. Still no Problems.
Then, by some time, I installed a new MDJ ROM - Mdeejay_FroYo_Sense_v._1.1_Clean_R75. This Rom needet to have PIN-auth disabled in Windows or it hung up in LOOP ( ). Sadly I installed a new WM-ROM and radio at the same time (I know, never change multiple parts at once... ugh!). Those where VBNDroid-Reloaded2-21913-Oct08 and Radio 2.15.50.14.
Since that time, I have this strange connection problem. I allready changed back to an oZDroid version and tried Radio 2.12 and 2.15. As Android ROM, i used MDJ eVo Sense Revolution 1.8 and now Mdeejay_FroYo_Revolution_v._1.6_S3. - Still the same problems.
I allready had the idea to reactivate PIN-auth but this option doesnt exist in my actual WM-OzDroid ROM.
Is there anyone experiencing the same problems or able to give me a hint in this case? I'am really not one of those persons "gimmie a new OS and I kill you if it doesnt work" - I know Android is work-in-progress but with all those superb fixes in past (lightsensor, compass etc) i cannot believe that a basic part like internet connection isnt working properly.
Thanks a lot for helping me out,
cmoe
RMNET
I think you'll find plenty of others who have had the same problem and some have had success with changing builds, kernels etc. There's plenty of stuff out there if you search on it.
I used to have data problems but switched to RMNET rather than PPP. You need to use a build that allows you to change this though and luckily for me, Bangsters 1.5 is such a build. It's not a sense build.
RMNET gets a bad press for it's speed, but to be honest it is perfectly ok for browsing the web. I leave all my downloading and updating till I'm on WiFi at home.
Regards your wifi issue, I have 'power control' widget on my homescreen and just switch WiFi off and on. Much easier than going into settings.

This might sound a bit noobish, but I was wondering if someone can recommend an android ROM which provides a stable data connection with the windows stock ROM WWE 3.14 (Radio 2.15.40) with SPL (not HSPL)
I'm currently using the mdeejay froyo sense (v2.4). The pain for me is that the 3G connection rarely works, even in areas with full bars, and the roamin data connection tends to drop out a fair bit as well despite full bars. I've tried rebooting, and that normally works but it is real pain to have to reboot on so many occasions (not to mention slow). I tried switchin to airplane mode and then switching the mobile network on again, but that doesn't seem to work.
So I have been flashing different Roms and installing different Android builds like crazy since I got this HD2 2 days ago LoL... My big ? is why when I use a Non Sense build my Data and Wifi work perfectly fine but when I install a Sense Build of Android my Data and Wifi is really spotty and dead slow? I'd really appreciate if someone could look further into this because I really love the Sense Builds.
*WOW this has been viewed 55 times now and not a single response....
go try MDJo HD 4.6
it doesn't have any issue for me....
using Energy ROM + Radio 2.12

Probably because none of those people have an answer?
I don't, because wifi works for me on both Sense and non-Sense builds.

Some builds change the APN/DNS settings. Search my thread or through XDA for answers for those settings. Also, dialing #*#*4636*#*# you'll be able to switch between settings; make sure that you enable data through the Windows button.
Hi all,
Tested Elelinux and few other 2.3 roms. Couldn't get WIFI Hotspot work. What rom is the most stable for WIFI Hotspotting?
I'm using my Hero only as 3G modem, but using cable is pain in... Anyway, I need WIFI Hotspotting.
Anyone?
I use elelinux's rom and I find I can use it for Wireless Tethering. Have you tried a different app, I use the app by Muller, Lemons, Buxton.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Müller,+Lemons,+Buxton
My phone gets a bit warm after a bit of use though..
Use the lowest possible android version since low versions = older phones, older phones = bad hardware, bad hardware = less power used to run = faster and colder phone
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254386, it's eclair without sense i think, and just put that app that user above me said
As for roms, I use elelinux gingerbread. Before I used a 2.1 sense rom, and that overheated my phone a lot - it got burning hot - and it used up the battery even when charging. With elelinux it only gets slightly warm.
As for apps, none of the apps in this thread has worked for me, and the only one I have found to work is aNetShare.
