HD2 Android Desire ROM minor bug

Hi,
I have tried the Android rom for desire on HD2. Thanks the developers, it is funny. However, I have to report some bugs and hope there is improvement in the future.
1) Sometimes the music player reported "no SD card" detected.
2) Pairing problem with SE bluetooth MW600. Can hear music playing by the phone but cannot make a call/receive a call. The device is functioning very well in WM6.5. Don't know if the bug exists with other bluetooth device.....
3) Cannot mount the SD card under Android platform with PC. Any 3rd party apps can do?
4) Built in Camcorder doesn't work without the optical sensor. Hard to find a 3rd party camcorder from Market!
5) The key at the bottom have no backlite at all. Cannot press the key in darkness.
6) Buttons on HD2 handsfree is not function (play, pause, forward, backward). Also not working for Music player or making calls.
my ROM configure:
Radio: 2.10.50.26
Android version: Android 2.1: darkstone_desirebuild_v5.7z
zImage is 7/23 version

This is old, I recommend you to use the newest Froyo Sense build with Cotulla's newest Kernel -> better experience...

Im using android 2.2 on my hd2 and ive had no trouble with it upgrade to 2.2 it should be ok then

And the fact that THIS IS AN ANDROID PORT, your device dosnt run android natively, meaning no everything works like it should, before posting questions STFF, ofcourse things arent working, its a work in progress, not a "place cab on your sd card, install it and BAM! your hd2 magicly transforms into a htc super ultra megatron holy grail perfect android device"....

Thanks bros, I will try your suggestions.
Of course, I know HD2 is not running Android natlively. I just try to report the problems I encountered. I hope the group will work around it and make it perfect.
If no one reports the problem, how can you improve?

Can anyone help me with the mms issue I try every setting I have found and no luck..I can receive mms but can't send them...darkstone froyo 2.2 custom rom Miri 17.6 on the t mobile hd2

I'm looking to buy an HD2 or some other used handset to run and Android build on for now and potentially a build of Win7, when it becomes available. I know the HD2 has the hardware I'm looking for, and based on these posts, it looks likes its running froyo pretty well. I guess what I'm trying to ask is if this handset would be at the sweet spot between most compatible hardware to run the most current builds of Android and best price point for a used handset? i hope that question makes sense to somebody besides me

Solution for auto call recording.

Hi,
this topic should be probably posted in development, but I havent enough posts, so I put it here.
I have tried many applications for this, but they didnt work properly. Always was problem that my voice was loud and other side was too low. Every app use microphone. The reason for this is that the call is running in the level of OS with high security. So when you want clean real voice, you need special kernel, ROM and App with superuser permition.
MIUI ROM contains all these requirements.
In the phone App (when you are calling) under "Tools" you can record the call manually. But the solution for Automatic 2-way call recording is:
Go to phone app with dialer->Menu->Settings->Other call settings->Record automatically->Switch On. Calls are now automatic recorded when connected and save it to SD card. Recordings are stored in E:\MIUI\sound_recorder\call_rec in *.amr file format. Recordings are best.
!Notice!
After S-Off with Revolutionary you have Hboot 6.98.1002. On this Hboot for some reason you cannot install MIUI, so you have to upgrade to 6.98.2000 or 0.98.2000. You can have stock Hboot too. Dont forget to instal CWM.
I used CoreDroid for long time, but I switched to MIUI for many reaons: I like the MIUI launcher inpirated from iOS. MIUI is really good customizable. Contacts app works very good with Google contacts. Life on battery is much longer then with Sense, it is no problem to use the phone 2 days without charging. Torch works with locked screen, screenshots from system bar, system updates and more. Dont worry about MIUI

This is why new users are not allowed to post in development section.

This got nothing to do with development and btw read more about bootloaders before you post something like this.

I am using the Call Recorder PRO by ERA Ltda, is inexpensive and is working in ICS.
It only changes to "Voice Uplink" recording mode.

[Q] Bluetooth functionality

Hey everybody, I just purchased and installed a new head unit for my car, that can stream music through bluetooth. My phone runs the latest cm10.1, and I am looking to replace the crappy "voice dialer" with google now. Is there any way to do that? Also, my phone won't send the meta data of the mp3 to the unit, I use Google play music, is there a fix to that? I read some where that Android 4.2.2 pretty much broke bluetooth, but it has been a while so is there a fix that I have missed or do I need to flash a custom rom? thanks!

The HTC Bluetooth stack doesn't support AVRCP 1.3, which displays the metadata (artist, album, track title, etc.).

I read that CM has their own bluetooth stack which supports AVRCP? could It be that it just hasnt been implemented in CM10.1 yet, or did I just read some false information? My phone is Rooted, S-offed, and has an unlocked bootloader. Thanks!

I'm mostly a Sense user, so can't comment on the CM (or other AOSP) builds for a while now. But I was trying various AOSP ROMs a while back. One of the main reason being to see if the Bluetooth stack was any better than the HTC stack (and if it would work any better with my car head unit). None of them displayed the meta data on my car stereo head unit. But its been months since I've given any AOSP ROMs a serious try, so this might have changed.
I'm not completely clear where the Bluetooth stack comes from for CM, and imagine it might vary by device. But its true on my old HTC Desire Z, that the stock HTC stack did not display the meta data, but CM ROMs it did display the meta data.

I know Google is using AVRCP v 1.1 and it does not have meta data. But I believe CM 10.1uses AVCRP 1.3 such does support meta data. Might not hurt to try.

[Q] Got Problem with Carbon Rom on my Sony Xperia S :d

Hello Guys!,
I've got a problem with my Custom Rom on my Xperia S
Everytime, I'm switching during headset is plugged to my smartphone from stock music player (It's Apollo,i guess) to an other page (like homescreen,app drawer,settings etc.) the music changs from headset to the main speaker! (So everyone can hear my music!)
I tried different Custom Roms (like CM or Paranoid) but every one have got the same problem. Here's the link to Carbon
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617846
Thats really enoying because otherwise this rom is fantastic (better then CM etc.) and i don't want to buy especially for this problem a new pair of In-Ears. Funnily enough that with normal headphones this problem is not present (like normal Over-Ears)
Does somebody maybe know the problem and the way to fix it? I would be very glad for all answers to that! :good:

Maybe, it would be a better idea to post in that custom mode thread...
So, wait until you have enough rights, and then...

6.0 Marshmallow: Missing EQ and sound settings are hidden in Play Music

The audio effect settings are now hidden in the Play Music app. I disable the app, since use Amazon for downloads (no device restrictions) and Poweramp for music. None the less, you can still access the audio effect settings, even if Play Music is disabled.
It is the same audio effect settings and appears to still be global. If it were linked to the Play Music app, I should not be able to mess with settings when the Play Music app is disabled, but I can. I created a shortcut to the Audio Effects with QuickShortcut (handy app!).
Audio Effects are accessible with the QuickShortcut app, so no need for the Play Music app.

That's just equalizer it was always there , on 5.0 sound effects was gone and put back. All you do is disable default EQ app.

The equalizers came back after the new play music update.

The Audio Effects were located in the sound page of settings (at the top). They are gone now, but can still be accessed as noted above and without Play Music active (I don't use it).
Testing Youtube and other apps. it sounds like the settings are global (for what I checked), as they were prior to the super great amazing fantastic MM update. All of those adjectives are sarcastic, since I see no improvements but do notice the EQ setting missing from where they were and connecting to a PC went from simple fast connection, to a sporadic pain sometimes.

No, it isn't global anymore.. please test further.
Also the left and right channel doesn't switch anymore when rotating in landscape.. check for right/left channel tests in Youtube.

yes, this. why in the HELL would they remove that? did people seriously complain that they thought this was a glitch? wouldn't surprise me, since most people are dumb lol. this annoys the piss out of me.

Maybe if they'd done it correctly from the start -- meaning with no gap in playback, or at the very least a crossfade between channels -- no one would have complained and it could've stayed.

Marshmallow seems to have broken eq. I cannot get audio effects or market equalizer to do anything more than placebo eq. Even some apps with built-in eq have their eq break. . Bluetooth, any way. Yet, to test over eat buds.
---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------
You can also see at a glance the eq of audio effects is pathetic, if it happened to work. . In real world, there is a huge need for huge adjustments in ear buds, speakers, environments. . The variation of sound setup is huge. .
Not to mention BBE or other clarification effects. Which is essential, on top of eq.

Workaround
Now that we know that this doesn't work, (and probably isn't going to be a priority to fix in the next software update, given Lenovo's haphazard nature of releasing broken patches) what's the best workaround? Can Viper4Android be used with the stock, rooted Rom? Or can this blunder only be fixed with a custom Rom?

Viper works fine on stock. I highly recommend Arise audio (Viper is included).

Success!

It's interesting that you mention that because I had literally just discovered A.R.I.S.E. and installed it not even two hours before you posted . Thankfully, I can report that it does appear to be working brilliantly on the stock ROM when using the "Leviticus 1.3" version. :fingers-crossed:
I'll report back if I discover any issues, but so far, it looks good!

Cool! I've been using Arise since they started. Fantastic group of developers. Super nice and helpful. There are tons of options, but it can be simple as well. I'd recommend the newer Deuteronomy builds, but they're all really good. Any questions, just ask in the arise thread. Fyi there are a few incompatible versions. It'll show itself trying to take video and it'll stop with an error message that says that something else is using the mic.

I do remember seeing something like that when reading through the threads, but let me check this version real quick...
Phew! Video recording is working! Crisis averted. Is there anything else to watch for with these audio tweaks?

Obviously with Viper processing, battery drain will be a bit more. Otherwise just enjoy the music.

Will do . I assume the additional processing required would be comparable to what I experience right now with the Note2 and equalizer found inside of S-Tweaks. Hopefully not when it's sleeping and not playing any sound though.

solved.
Go to apps in settings, scroll to default equalizer ( in my case sound alive). Disable that and then go to music app (eg spotify) and then go to the equalizer settings and it will come up with your own equalizer app (eg V4A)
