[Q] Android 2.2 "Froyo" Cyanogen

Hi, thanks to everyone that got this working. I had time over Christmas and gave it a go and have found Android to far better show off the HD2 than the rather limited and buggy Windows 6.5 we were given with device.
Couple of questions though:
I do seem to have issues with the phone switching itself off when running Android if it's been 'asleep' for a while, not all the time, but here and there.
Also, the power on button/call hang-up (on the right) doesn't always bring the phone to life. It can take a press, then wait for it to fail to come to life - the buttons light up and then go off after a few seconds - then press it again and I'm in.
Are there any updates to this, as I am loving having Android running on the HD2, as it is much more smoothly integrated, as far as seeing the news headlines slickly open at a touch and then a simple back press to go back to the headlines, same for Twitter, Facebook etc, really great.
I definitely want to keep using it on the phone but today again I had an issue where it froze and then when I restarted Android the widgets said 'unable to display/load widget' or something like that and I had to bin them and re-add them, no major shakes I admit but a more solid build would be great if there is one?
I've now backed-up with Titanium, as per some posts on XDA and so am just wondering if anyone can suggest bug fixes for what I have running or else a build that is as free as it can be of any issues???
I am running:
HTC HD2 (UK)
Android 2.2 (booting from SD card)
Baseband Version 15.40.50.07H_2.12.50.02_2
Kernal 2.6.32.9
Mod CyanogenMod-6.0.0-N1(shubCRAFT 1.5_by shu8i)
Hope that info helps. Please go easy with the tech talk. I can keep up if the steps are easy enough, so a "put this folder there" kind of reply would be super appreciated!
p.s. i got my install info from here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeBKnm8Tkfc which supplies link to shubCRAFT_v1.5_STOCK
p.p.s. CyanogenMod has a site, as per following link, but which of these fits the HD2 as it's not listed and how do you then update it? http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/files/category/1-stable-mod/

advice on stable builds please
Doesn't anyone have any advice???
I see on YouTube someone has posted a video showing a proper install of Android on the phone memory, overwriting I assume the Windows 6.5. I'm happy to do that if everyone gives green light and says it's stable???
All/any advice appreciated.
Thanks

Blackhole 4.x to SuperClean 2.x observations

Awesome ROM - thanks for sharing your work!
I flashed the standalone 4.0 followed by the 4.01 update. Now I'm grabbing extras a bit at a time. Some observations/questions:
1. When I boot/reboot, I let the phone settle in (read SD,etc). I unlock, but then Launcher Pro is completely unresponsive. I must long press home button & use task mgr to kill it. When it comes back, all is good until next reboot.
2. I restored downloaded apps using Titanium. Market is not recognizing any as installed. First time I've gone this route. Expected?
3. I can't back out of Contacts; gotta use Home button.
4. Recently edited Memos don't come to the top of the list. Can that be reverted to the 2.1 behavior?
Small stuff in view of super clean, super cool ROM.
Thanks again!

It's disappointing, but I feel certain this post would have gotten a reply or some comments if posted in the Dev section. Here in the General section, it's either remained below the radar or been ignored. Can a mod or admin tell me if there was a more appropriate place for my post? Obviously, I haven't met the 10 post minimum, or I would have popped it in the Dev section in the Blackhole thread where others are posting their observations and feedback of that ROM. Thanks.

upgrade to Blackhole 4.2
Might as well work my way towards the 10-post minimum so I can post to the dev section where discussion actually happens...
I followed this thread to get CWM shaped up:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957132
Trying a backup initiated through ROM Manager resulted in badness, so I repeated the steps for CWM (using Odin). BTW, I had to boot the phone once without the SD card to move past being stuck at the Samsung logo. I then rebooted into CWM (red) and did a backup.
Then I followed SoS's instructions and installed the standalone 4.2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940456
As long as I was just working within CWM, I was fine. ROM Manager is totally hosed. It really can only be used now to browse the ala carte options. Trying to install through it results in being stuck at the Samsung logo. 3-fingered booting from powered off doesn't even work. Repeat the CWM fix (using Odin) and boot once without the SD card.
To get around ROM Manager Madness, I use it to pick the options I want, then cancel the final step, reboot into recovery from a long press of the power button and use CWM to install the individual zips. Fine.
The original oddities in Blackhole 4.x are still present on my device. The two that are most bothersome: [1] I can't back out of contacts [2] Launcher Pro is unresponsive after booting.

For the contacts issue, create a new link to contacts from the app drawer and use the new one to replace the existing.
good day.

Thanks for the reply, I'll try that.
Worked great, thanks!

clock lag persists
Initially I thought that the clock lag I was experiencing in 4.01 was gone in 4.2. Nope, it remains. As others have said, seems to be related to enabling Wi-fi.
I'll go check the threads for updates but, last I checked, a double reboot was the suggested fix. I'm not clear whether people were suggesting that to be some sort of permanent fix. It didn't seem to be for me.
The time would correct after the first reboot and I would reboot again to comply with the posts, but I <think> the problem would return under 4.01. Now under 4.2, I'm sure. Last night, I double-rebooted and this morning the clock was 20 minutes slow.
Like I said, I'll go looking for updates now. Could be that this has already been resolved for real.

voice recorder, car home
Just adding a couple more oddities to the current list: voice recorder force closes and car home doesn't come up automatically when you plug in to the car cradle.
Reloading the voice recorder zip through CWM was about the only tactic I tried with no luck. Then I wanted to grab something for the ROM over-the-air, but the site was down. Checked in here and saw there was a problem with the host. That interruption of being able to download pieces parts OTA was kind of the proverbial straw, so I'm trying a SuperClean.
Pushed it through Odin and the process was smooth. The ROM looks good. None of the same oddities except the clock lag. I'm changing the sleep state of Wi-fi to see if that makes a difference.
SonofSkywalker does amazing work and I'm sure I'll be trying his ROMs again. For now, though, something different.

clock lag fix?
as per a forum suggestion, I changed the Wi-fi sleep setting. So far, it seems to prevent clock lag.
Home Screen | Menu | Settings | Wireless & Network | Wi-Fi settings | Advanced | Wi-Fi sleep policy -> select 'When screen turns off'.
Does anyone know if this has been an issue in the VZW full stock 2.2?

battery life is better
Under Super Clean 2.6, launching Google Maps and exiting has released the wake lock and battery life is much better.
Does a user guide, sticky or FAQ exist for Spare Parts? I could see that "other | running" was 100%, but I wasn't sure how to zero in on what was causing it other than trial and error based on other users' posts.

unread email count
A quick search of the forums didn't turn up much discussion, so I'll throw this out there:
on DL30 leak, the general email icon would increment and not decrement or clear until mail was manipulated on the phone. In other words, if it said 3 unread messages and I used Outlook (or the mail provider's web mail) to deal with them, it would sync and accurately display the message state in the list of emails - but the email icon on the home screen would still show 3. If 3 more came in and again they were dealt with elsewhere, the icon would go to 6. Only if action was taken on the phone itself would the counter "get real".
On Blackhole 4.x and SuperClean 2.x (any custom EB01 ROM?), the email icon on the home screen doesn't show an unread count (fine by me, I don't miss it), but when you pull down the notification bar, the unread count there acts exactly the same way.
Anyone else experiencing this? Devs, can it be fixed?

Did you clear your cache and davlik? I had some issues(when I closed an app none of my apps would show up and overall everything was running really slow). However when I was on superclean 2.6 I cleared my cache and davlik(for the first time) before I upgraded to superclean 2.8 and overall everything is working no problems.

thanks i havent used anything but sc!

[Q] Malicious daily "alarm"

I have an issue that is making me crazy. Starting about 1 month ago, my N7 plays a very annoying "tune" for about 1-2 minutes precisely at 12:35 AM every day.
Some specifics:
- volume cannot be controlled or muted
- the "tune" that is played is not one of the normal choices. It is kind of crude sounding (like MIDI).
- does not provide any notification of any kind or show up as a running app
- does not appear to be associated with clock or calendar
- the only way to stop it is to power off
Steps I have taken to try to kill this thing (leaving out the obvious)
- "soft" factory reset/restore from N7 Settings menu - fail
- "Hard" facory reset using power/volume controls. Did not do a restore.. Only logged onto wireless and into my Google account . - fail
- complete wipe/reflash using adb/fastboot/nakasi image from Google developer page instructions. - fail
I'm a complete Android noob, but not a software/hardware noob. This defies logic to me. I found reference to a very similar problem on another forum, but the post was never answered. I have several other Android devices and none have this issue. I'm convinced that this is something malicious. Where is this thing hiding that it can survive a reflash? Please help, I'm beginning to think my N7 is haunted.

Bump for help
Sorry to bump this but it appears that the views have stopped and so far no replies. As noted in my original post I have seen this issue reported elsewhere but not solved. I even tried loading Cyanogenmod and it's still there! I realize that asking for help on you first post is asking a lot, but I really could use some help/suggestions. Is there somewhere in the file system I should look for the code that is running this? Are there monitoring tools I could use to identify the process that is running? Are there log files somewhere I could look at?
Besides being really annoying, it's hard to feel secure when something like this keeps coming back after the device has supposedly been wiped multiple times. If I can't solve it, it's probably going to get beaten to a pulp with a sledgehammer! Thanks for any suggestions.

Solved!
This is solved. I'd like to say I know exactly what worked, but apparently after the umpteenth wipe/re-flash, the poltergeist got bored and moved on. Thanks for thinking about it.

Display size setting

I have an ebay unit. RK-A701 is printed on the face of it. Theres not a whole lot of info on the web that I can find on this specific model.
It is running 4.4.4
Chip: RK3188
7" display
1200x600 resolution (that's what the description in the add says)
But it seems to me that the display is 800x400, everything just seems very large on the screen. I found the password to enter the factory settings, which is "66668888" and while going through there I found a setting to change the display size from 7" all the way up to 10". I didn't try to change it yet because I don't want to end up not being able to change it back if it ends up not displaying correctly. So I wanted to see if anyone knows anything about this setting? Ive been searching for some details about this setting but I cant seem to find anything.
With a 7" display, if I changed it to 10" will I mess it up? This may be a dumb question, and I apologize in advance. Im just very new to the android head unit scene. So im trying to learn as much as I can without bricking my unit.
Thank you!

I changed the display resolution of my android headunit to 1200x600 and only around 3/4 of the screen was shown. I panicked because the button to revert the changes back got hidden on the bottom right of the screen. Thankfully, I was able to restore the original screen resolution. Not sure if the same will happen to your unit, but based on what I experienced, keep your default screen resolution.

Thank you for the response! I tried messing around with the screen size after figuring out how to get kingroot to work. It actually didn't change anything.
What I am having trouble with is keeping a live wallpaper set. Everytime I restart it the wallpaper resets to default

Hey. You need a root, get root, looking build.prop /system/build.prop file, edit it in the PDI line set 200 or 160. This will change the resolution of your screen. More https://4idroid.com/kak-izmenit-kolichestvo-tochek-na-dyujm-dpi-na-ekrane-android-root/ use google translator. Do not forget to install rw/r/r build.prop file after the change and editing, and then reboot the device. To edit, you can use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=ru

HELP
Okay so ive encountered a problem. I installed nova launcher, and slightly adjusted the DPI on my unit. BUT now the unit boots up like it normally would but the homescreen is blank! The screen still reacts to touch, I can slide the notification bar down Bluetooth and wifi still connect to my phone. But no access to settings or ANY apps so I can set the default launcher!
I have been unable to boot into recovery either. I cant figure out how to do it. I'm at a total loss on what to do now. I really need some help on how I can possibly fix this. Would hooking my laptop up via USB allow me to execute commands through ADB to force a reset? Or uninstall a certain app? Ive never had to do something like this before so I'm open to try anything at this point!:crying:

I have two questions:
1. How do you go about changing the resolution?
2. How do you go about to factory reset the HU?
I have updated mu HU and now it is only showing part of the screen as it is displaying in a different resolution. The HU is a Alps FF5000 Model 8227L and I have tried a lot of different roms, but with no success.

I have the same problem, screen showing 3/4 only of the whole screen the rest is hidden... any solution anyone?? pleaseeee

i have the same issue what to do

Do you have hammer

Tab a SMT585 Advice please for a newbie

Hi guys/girls
First off im totally new to rooting any kind of device, thanks to a lot of the awesome work from people on this forum i have done a lot of reading and think i have successfully rooted my device (according to the root check app it is yay!)
However on reading a lot of things i just wanted to check if i have done all steps correct
So
Put device in to download -
Went on odin
Added the .tar file
Rebooted in to the other boot option
Transfered the SU zip file over
Clicked the zip file and installed
All seems to be working fine but reading things about flashing etc have i missed something?
Also an app i was using (the whole reason i rooted in the first place) HiroMacro
Was working fine nearly all day until i stopped and restarted it
Now it is not recognising any touch inputs? and not recording any types of input? any suggestions as to why this may of suddenly happened? Did i do something wrong or has something possibly changed that i need to investigate?
Thanks in advance and also thanks already for the endless knowledge on here
EDIT
I have tried other applications that "record" a touch input for auto playback, NONE are recoring/recognising any kind of input has something gone wrong with the root process? or is my tab security blocking something im not realising?
Thanks again

Update :
Proof i am still trying and battling with this,
I completely wiped my tablet and have installed a completely new ROM
Now this still has not fixed the issue!
However now when i enable the touch location debug there is a grey bar appearing at the top of the screen, just below the notification line that moves on rotation
Just a crazy idea... but is this the area that the app is going ot recognise touch input? as this was never there before? the area is not big enough to attempt to record any input? however any ideas if this is the case on how to "extend" the touch area
Thanks again

On Google or Youtube, try searching up how to reset your tablet with the Samsung Smart Switch app for Samsung Devices. It works a lot better than Kie 3 (It's been updated) and it should fix all of it. ODIN way is not the most fool-proof method but the official Samsung Smart Switch is a lot more easy and it's automatic. You will only need your Device Model Number and Serial Number.
