I don't know how darkstone's name got into this thread, but football made it clear that you should not flash the ace build to your hd2. just re-flash the stock rom and your phone should be fine. hope this helps

The 4th line of his post said:
THIS ROM ONLY FOR COOKERS DO NOT TRY TO FLASH ON DEVICE!
I am not a dev .. let's hope they can help you. But it has been said endless number of times - first read, then read again, then several times more until every word is clear to you ... then try to flash ... on your own risk. Always.

ima take a guess and say you flashed a beta rom FOR the Desire HD on your HD2...incompatible ROM. your phone is bricked for good.

Learn to f**king read man. Im a newb and read that.

maybe not bricked for good, he shouuld be able to flash a ruu for his phone containing winmo and be good to go again, but who knows

I think he flashed a beta ROM darkstone made. It was just like any other Android build, made to launch from the sdcard. What happened exactly? You flashed it and it booted fine then just died?

yea who knows, it's nebulous. - Michael Scott

Take your battery and microsd card out and leave it for a few hours. Then plug in the battery but LEAVE THE SD CARD OUT and try booting up your phone into Windows.
Also how did you put those files on your phone since they are for the Storage Card. Did you try to copy them to your internal memory in some way?
You REALLY shouldnt try test versions unless you know what you are doing which im very sure you didnt..
Mark.

Wait... what?
OK, so you managed to get a hold of the files that I'm sharing with devs, and you somehow flash those files on to your phone (how is that even possible) ?
You must of flashed your phone using the EXE file on the first post of this thread right? If you did, then you should have not been so careless. Clearly on the first post it states that this is for developers only, this was not to be flashed.
Do not blame my files for something that you have done. Those files were not intended to be spread on this forum, however I have no problem if people do wish to post about it.
Time for you to call HTC and see if you can get a replacement...

he didnt release to the public for a reason I knew somebody was going to download it lmao

There is a thread with a copy of your irc chat and a link to your test build. Do you want me to delete the link to the files?
Mark.

wait yea you're right. it's not a "flushable" ROM..i just downloaded the file and it's just another Android build that you put on the SD card. Not sure what the OP "flushed" but yeah, taking the SD card out and restarting the phone should do the trick. Am I missing something? Can you actually brick your phone booting android from Haret?

I don't mind links being posted, but people need to be careful with them.
There was a reason that I didn't post that link, the build was incomplete and still had issues.

There is always a slight chance of messing Windows Mobile up but as long as you have HardSPL installed you can easily flash a new rom and get everything working again so nothing much to worry about.

he said ace beta not just an android sd sh**t it said for cookers only

[Q] Some (maybe) simple questions!

Hi, i have some questions for you guys
1: Are there something out there which makes me able to choose winmo or android when i boot up my phone?
2: If that exists, where is the newest version of android?? what should i install... i really wanna keep winmo on my phone cause i think it looks nice, its just a little buggy.. thats why i wanna try out android...
I have seen these "harret" android versions which you can boot on top of windows, but doesnt that just slow down the phone.. to having two OS's running???

It's the only way (for now) to boot your android, so yeah, there are several programs that allow you to choose between Winmo or Android at startup.
Newest version of android...well depends on what build you use. I suggest reading some more information on these boards to see what suits you best.

Haret doesn't run Android alongside Windows, it kicks Windows out of the phone's memory, and boots Android from the SD card. Android will run nice and fast.
As far as an app to choose which operating system you want to use upon booting up your device, Exceller bootlauncher is the way to go.
Just look in HD2 Android Developement forum, or do a search using the site's search function and keyword exceller, you're sure to find it.
Try a few different Android builds, they're all great, and Exceller will allow you to choose between different builds.
You just cant have them in folders named the same thing, so you may have to edit the startup.txt in your Android folders so that your rel_path corresponds with what you name your folder to.
Might sound confusing now, but once you get down to it, it'll seem simple

you write that it "kicks windows out"... just to be sure, windows will still be there right??

yeah, windows will still be there... it never leaves you
what huggs mean is, that windows will not be running in the background. I will be "kicked out" of the memory.
When you reboot your Leo fom android - guess what - windows will load first again...
You'll see, it never leaves you

ok super nice!!
one last question: i have downloaded a version of android, but the file contains three folders: android, data_512, data_1024... is it nessesary to copy all three folder over??

No you don't have to, just copy the "Android" folder to sd card then choose either th data.img in one of the two folders ( copy the 1024's Data if you want 1GB of storage and copy the 512's data if you want 512 MB of storage) Have fun !
Edit ::
Copy the data.img into the Android folder

hey again... just found some new questions:
i just found a guide on how to install android, and it seems that i have to flash my rom and change my radio.. i have heard about flashing roms before, but never really knew how it would affect my phone..
q1: will flashing rom (and radio) delete the os?
q2: can i always go back to my old rom/radio??

np, I mean when you're booting your phone you can see some numbers on the bottom left, just write these numbers down, when you want to return to your original Radio/Rom just download the corresponding numbers from the Radio/ROM thread you can find at the ROM development section (But trust me, you would never want to return to your originals. as soon as you flash your new ones you'll find out that your previous were useless )

ok, i think i have one last question..
Will installing another rom/radio/android remove my warranty???

Since you'll be needing HSPL for radio/rom flashing then yes. I'm not sure wether there is a way around it, but you may give SSPL a look, it doesn't void your warranty .

oh well.. it says i can just install the stock spl and it should be fine...

How do I Transfer a Downloaded Zip File to the SD Card?

I just downloaded the smooth sense download to my Evo. I need to move it to my SD card before unzipping it, etc.
I did this before without making sure the download is on my sd card, and I went into a Boot Loop.
I did a reboot and followed all instructions regarding un zipping here >
http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/10/how-to-add-percentage-to-htc-evo-taskbar-battery-icon.html
and then I went into a Boot Loop again. I finally just re flashed the ROM that I backed up before trying the smooth sense zip. All is well but i would like to try agin.
Any help is appreciated.
Oh. I also have ROM Manager installed.
I would like to buy the Premium version to support the Developer But I don't see an option to purchase from the free version app.

Agreed. Does the rom you currently run have an addon to apply a battery % icon?

Thanks for the above info because i was about to go into a Boot Loop
I am using the Stock ROM.
Originally I was going to download the circular battery indicator, until I came across the above.
I may just download the circular indicator, but I was trying avoid battery drain if any with the circular icon, and taking up space up in the task bar.
Which Custom ROM would you guys suggest before I start searching that also.
I was searching 2 hours about the sd transfer issue, but could not find any answers which is why I posted the question here.
Btw, how do I transfer Zip files to the SD card. if the smooth battery Zip was supported by 3.7 would I then have an option to do so?
Thanks

If you asking how to get the file to your phone, I don't mess with usb transfers anymore. I put the file in my dropbox on the pc, then use the dropbox app on my phone to transfer it to the sd card. I keep all my roms, kernals and mods on dropbox. Also, titanium backup now sends my backups there as well. Check it out at http://db.tt/zaSKX4L if you don't already have it.

Dropbox is great for that sort of thing like Phily said. If you want to use usb transfer then connect your phone to your computer with the usb cable. Set your phone to disk drive and it'll appear as a drive under my compter. Then cut/copy + paste the file onto your sd card.
As far as roms go. I use Mikforyo 4.4. Myns 2.2 rls 5 is good as well. Depends on what you want and the look you want. Spend a day or two reading the dev section and checking out roms to find out what you like. My guess is you might end up flashing 2,3 or 4 roms before you find out what you like.

Thanks for the informative and quick info
I will definitely check the Dropbox info out and download it. Also i will look into the diff ROMS available.
For now, I may download the circular battery app until I find a ROM with that as a feature.
I am happy I got out of the Boot Loop though. I got worried for a while.
It was a learning curve, but I got it done.
Edit:
I cannot open up the app after downloading. The circular battery indicator is in apk format.
"Cannot Open File" is displayed ?

i'd just flash a new rom. there are so many fantastic ones out there, based off sense.
there's myn's warm twopointtwo. highly themed to look amazing. very fast and slick. smooth as butter.
there's caulkin's evio 2. very very very fast. very tweaked. very optomized. great rom. also lightly themed to not look as fugly as sense.
also, ava-froyo is nice. very tweaked. this dude knos his java.

Click on it in root explorer. That will usually install apks.

For the apk thing, is it framework-res.apk? This is an exception. It holds all the images and some scripts for android systems, and needs to be installed to a separate partition.

I am not sure but will find out and let you know.
Here is the link, but I may pass due to the taking up of space on my task bar. I'm Rooted so I'll find a ROM as suggested with a percentage in the existing battery icon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8639993

yep, those files are meant to be placed in the framework-res.apk (or are already in a linked one) you need to push it to /system/framework/ while in recovery mode. i can make you a flashable this weekend if you want.
edit: never mind its just an app, but i can make it replace the battery percent you have now if you want. it'll be the first apk other than the framework-res.apk i have completely decompiled, but i am sure i can do it.

I would appreciate that.
I assume i can always delete it and get the regular battery icon back if I want to.
Plus if I download a custom ROM, it'll probably be included in it, but until then, if you can, I'd appreciate it as I'd like to see how it works.
Thanks for your help
Edit:
I just uploaded the circular battery indicator file .apk file and transferred it to my Evo using Dropbox.
I downloaded the file. Works great!
Thanks for the offer. I much appreciate it :

so if you still want it instead of your battery icon you have now, just send me YOUR framework-res.apk and do you mind linking the file agian? thanks. i'll do it as soon as i have time (weekend)

running Cyanogen and cant seem to move files from the computer to my phone. It doesnt give me a option in the drop down menu just says USB debugging connected but not showing up on computer (although it is charging). Any idea what may be the cause?

I have both now.
Do you mean that you make it so I wouldn't have the stock battery icon, and only have the circular icon?
Optimally, I would like to have the percentage in the stock battery icon (smooth battery) but as explained, that is not supported with 3.7 if I understand that correctly?

I tried to make a ROM, and it is not installing properly.:crying:

Please help me.

Can you post updater script you are using under [ hide ] tags?
Was your /system mounted before you flashed your rom?

I think he just grab someone else's ROM and edited it as much as he wanted and then grab the Updater-script from Hell-lock and thinking "hey, this must be works!" and now, look the result. No one has success to make a Custom ROM without a kitchen (Editing the .zip).

to be honest,
i never used kitchen to make my rom,
i had to code the updater script manually,
@OP.
you need to study the codes first and know what you are doing,
you can't build a house without proper procedures, same with ROM building,
you must learn to research and be patient when you fail,
it happens all the time,
in most instances the phone won't boot and what i always do is to go back and think over what went wrong and what must i do to resolve the issue,
we can help you as much as you can but please try to help yourself understand the situation a bit more.

Thanks for motivating me. I know what is the problem now. I did not mount /system before flashing?. Added that to my script... All working fine now.
@GermanyGSG-
How the heck could you create ROMs before kitchen was made .. Eh? Its a matter of bash and edify... No kitchen needed.

[REQUEST] Android Go ?

Sooo
Android Go is made for low-end devices with 1 gig or less of RAM right ?
Could/Would someone please port it when possible ? It would be really cool if our beloved 2009 phone could run new software.

It probably required newest google play services which could kill all resources. Hopefully someone will confirm that I'm not right.
Meanwhile I have installed oldest possible facebok lite and skype lite, etc... from apkmirror.
It works some way.

And how come the only person able to boot Oreo on this magically lost the rom in limbo?
C'mon now. A zip is never lost, unless you write over it.
He should have had to re-write whole GBs to write over the place the rom was stored in.
You can simply use Recuva, Easeus, etc. and dig up the file after you've deleted it accidentally.
This whole community would be more than happy to have it, even completelly broken. If it boots, there is hope it could be fixed.
So, tell that person to use those programs and try to recover it.
It might have not been overwritten yet.
