Hi.
Does anyone know how to access them so you're not having to create new folders on the SD?
Could you be any more clear?

Don't really understand your question but if you are after the locations of the default wallpapers and ringtones then you can find them here:
ringtones: /system/media
wallpapers: you will have to unpack the /system/app/Launcher.apk, wallpapers are inside the res/drawable-240dpi

Hi.
There are default wallpapers on the phone, so I would like to put any new ones in the same folder which isn't on the sd card, and I've found the "notification" folder on the sd card but the default tones aren't in there, so I'm guessing I need to access the phone memory to make any changes.
This is my first Android phone so I'm finding my way around just now.

Ok, I think I understand you better now. So, like I said, the location for the ringtones is what I already mentioned. Since this is the system partition, you will need root access and remount the /system partition into read/write mode in order to be able to add files to the directory.
For the wallpapers, this was just a quick check, but like I said, the Launcher.apk has the wallpapers bundled within it. You can easily rip it, take it apart using apktool and add or replace the default wallpapers.
IMHO though, it is lot simpler to add a new folder on the SD card and use applications like ASTRO or handcent sms to set ringtones/wallpapers for you.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing as the ringtones in my notification folder couldn't be selected as ringtones i.e they didn't even show up, but did show up for messaging, so I created a new folder "Ringtones" on the SD, bobbed a few files in there and now they show up as selectable tones.
Thanks for the advice though.

Because you're changing the software on the phone, so if you have any problems it will be your fault in the eyes of the Operator/SE.
But how do they know that I have rooted phone ?

lol they wont know a thing until you take your rooted phone to the service centre for repair but before you do so you can roll back to original firmware and they wont notice a thing..

I would assume it's from whatever diagnostics they would run to diagnose any issues you claim to be having.
Maybe, but i won't risk and root it, maybe will something go wrong and then....
Dear all developers, cookers, testers and all Leo-Andro guys here. Thank you very much for all of your efforts to make HD2 so fun.
My idea is we have a lot of Builds here that I love them much namely:
[BUILD] [26.07.2010] [darkstone HD2Froyo v1] now with GPS work via new sys.ext2 perfect for me with cool battery, low drain and high quality call and so smoothly.
[BUILD] [30.07.2010][mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense RC1.3a] with SENSE very brilliant build.
The problem is it possible to have triple boot or more with out change new SD card.
That means we may put some difference builds in differ Android folders in SD card and a good boot loader may scan those folder and asking you to select your favorite build.
The other thing is we may seen some files in the root of SD card and difference build can confuse when access them. Is possible to put all file of each Build in their own folders ONLY?
Thank you all Leo-Andro guys again.

Good idea!
The easiest solution would be to MANUALLY assign specific folders from out WinMo, which then links to a program to select on these folders to boot.
/storage/android1
/storage/android2
/storage/android3
Then from a boot-select screen you just select one of the folders to boot. Shouldn't be that hard to do.
Maybe Partition SD card??? that might work won't it?

treats each folder as a partition
triple boot is a fantastic idea
for example JMZ Android triple-boot
WinMo - android - ubuntu
I'm already Quad Booting... for the last 2 weeks
Just use Exceller's Android Loader
so if im reading right, we can just do the folder hierarchy and we can run different android builds off the same sd card????

Yes... that's what I've been doing... just make sure to edit your startup.txt in each folder where your build resides.

Exceller's dual boot has been doing this already. You can choose whatever build you have on your sdcard and even boot ubuntu.

Just add the rel_path=foldername to cmd in between the "" don't remove the lpj thingy
It will look like this:
cmd "rel_path=foldername lpj... "

Anytime i boot android it creates a folder named "Android" now i heard you can delete that folder which i do because if i shut my phone down and i go to boot in again it will not boot. Now i have to delete that folder every single time so i can boot into android and its getting really annoying.
Is there a way to get rid of this?
Or is this happening to everyone one?
Is there a solution at all?

of course. the solution is to stop listening to people dont know what they are doing.
cut all android files from the root of your sd and paste them into the android folder...
+ on above, just have files on an Android folder don't put on root unless creator states it, that way you wont get a extra folder to delete & you can just use a boot loader to start up
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
make sure you edit your cmdline path in startup.txt to say this: set cmdline "rel_path=Android lpj=638976"
no need to edit the startup.txt, cause all the files are in the same folder. i dont even have the line rel_path=xxx in the txt...
Thanks for the fix , It was annoying but now that its fixed HELL YEAH

It should only be a problem for those who boot in aand out of Android a lot. Even then, having an app like Total Commander on your WinMo ROM will ease the trouble of deleting the folder. I use Android as a daily driver and rarely boot into WinMo so the folder issue is nada for me. But When I do boot into WinMo, I immediately go to Total Commander and delete the Android folder. That way I'm ready to go.
It's a small sacrifice for the benefits gained from running Android on the root.

From my experience it speeds the system up and makes it buttery smooth. EDIT - But you have to move them from the beginning, before the data store builds. Otherwise it doesn't seem to help much.
thanks

my first boot was on the root of the sd, but i moved everything in the folder before booting the 2nd time...haven´t noticed any speed difference, and i can´t imagine why there should be a difference... but if it´s faster for u, than for sure it´s better to stick with all files on root
I'm a noob and all I did was copy all files to the root of my storage card - there is an android folder that contains nothing but it doesn't do anything to me whenever I boot up... I don't even bother deleting it. It's just hanging out on my storage card.
can i but more than 1 android build on the same card and manually run whichever i want? and if yes then how?
Yes, you just have to rename the folders of the builds you don't want to use and name "Android" to the one you have chosen. ^^ Is that what you mean?

For each build you have you must change the default name of the android folder to something like android1.
Then edit your startup.txt to reflect this set cmdline "rel_path=Android1"
Then you can have as many builds as you want.
cool thanks guys
but there's something that confuses me; when running android it creates many folders on the SD card itself not inside the Android folder. so if i put another build on the same card, wouldn't that conflict with the old one's folders?
doesnt bother my builds
great gonna try it out thanks a lot

I've gone through the exact same questions and concerns. There was no topic like this one so I just went ahead and gave it a try. I put several builds in separate folders and edited the Startup.txt accordingly, as suggested in one of the previous posts. Sure enough, there were common folders that all builds were using, such as ".Android" and a few more. However, it was not an issue, at least for me. On the contrary, it was an unexpected advantage. For example, on one build I installed and configured AppBrain Web Push with a list of about a dozen autoinstall apps. As soon as I switched to a different version, all those apps automatically loaded on the first boot
I suspect same will happen with for example camera shots, bookmarks, although didnt have the time to experiment.
I can defintely say I saw no issues in putting more than one Andorid build on one SD card.
Use Exeller Multiple Build Loader

I tried to install frx 04 finished the calibration setup and then there was a black screen which i think was android booting up. However I reset my phone at this point because there was a black screen 4 about 2 mins. Tried to run haret again but got the message the file 'haret' cannot be opened. either it is not trusted..if the problem persists try reinstalling or restoring the file.
I tried deleting all the frx04 files and putting them back into memory card but I keep getting that message. What do I do ?(btw htc touch hd.)
problem solved
hard reset, changed roms, android now works!
try formating the card and reinstalling the fresh full FRX4 (dated 10/2)

use fresh copy of haret and see if your STARTUP.txt is right
most importantly check if this is right:
a) if your haret and other files are in root of the sd,open startup.txt and check if there is something like "rel_path=andboot" if there is,just delete that
b) if your haret and other files are in some folder eg. "FOLDER3" go to startup.txt and
-if there is no "rel_path=****" add "rel_path=FOLDER3"
-if there is just change **** to FOLDER3
be sure that rel_path has space before it and it is under quotes together
since there are only one quotes in that file,you will easily find them and place the right line there
additionally check for SD card problems,use search for your problem, you can easily find what to add to startup.txt if it is an sd card issue

Flash with another ROM, for example: WM 6.5.x (build 28244) I think it's the best!
Next.. on a FRESH formatted microSD card copy all the linux/android files except the "modules*****", "rootfs.img" and "zImage" to the root of microSD.
Go here and download the latest kernel htc-msm****
Next>> Go here and download the latest rootfs
Next>> unpack the "htc-msm***" archive and copy "modules-***" and "zImage-***" to root of microSD, rename "zImage-***" to "zImage", "modules-***" don't need rename!
Unpack the "rootfs-***" archive and copy "rootfs-***.img" to root of microSD, rename "rootfs-***.img" to "rootfs.img", delete "data.img" if exist, delete "ts-calibration" if exist!
Hope this helps!
Best Regards, FLeX!
Edit: use the untouched STARTUP.TXT

If that's your startup.txt, the problem is right there:
NOT:
....gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3"
boot
rel_path=andboot
BUT:
....gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3 rel_path=andboot"
boot
That should fix the FIRST problem with booting it up.
Another problem might be still having the USB plugged in to the phone. Be sure to take it out before running haret.

Better yet. I took your startup.txt made it look more readable.
See pic for how the folder should look.
Don't worry about not having data.img and tscalibration files, they are created on first boot.
And there's a great video about it on youtube by theDeadCPU. --> VIDEO <--
Just in case your kernel doesn't ask for calibration, download the attached file and put it in andboot folder. Remove extension (should be ts-calibration)
