[BUILD]★09.29.2010★HyperDroidSenseV1.1★EVO★Hastarin# 4.1★F ast & Optimized,Minimalist★


Welcome to the HyperDroidSense: The Ultimate Sense Android Build for the HD2!


Kernel version:


Hastarin#4.1 - Kindly built & optimized by hastarin (Check his thread for changelog and source code)

This is based on the latest Over The Air (OTA) Update for the HTC EVO. Thanks to phiredrop, mdeejay and mattc (1st EVO based builds I learned from) & myn for the Stock EVO OTA Update

First Boot Notes:
* First Boot will take about 20 minutes (or seem like it or longer) as the data.img is being unpacked.
* New EVO kernel uses the logo.rle in the initrd.gz (Black HTC Splash) that stays on while the Build "does its thing in the background"
* During setup, you may see that the "phone process" Force Closes (FC's) as a result of APN's now being Set during initial Setup
* If you rename the Buildfolder Android or anything else, DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE THE startup.txt OR ELSE you will not be able to boot properly.

If you don't like Sense, Feel Free to try my CM6 Based Build... The HyperDroid which can be found right HERE!

Features
* Deodexed
* Rooted
* Interactive and Powersave schedulers (Thanks to Hastarin)
* Perflock disabled (for underclocking via SetCPU) (Thanks to Hastarin)
* Market Fixed
* Zipaligned
* No Boot Sound
* Cool Blue Droid Eye to match the Rest of the Theme
* MattedBlues by Jabbawalkee Themed


Code:
Note: Due to its Bleeding Edge Nature, Some stuff may not work as you might expect.  
Please follow the Bug Reporting Process I outlined on the thread.

Just to be sure, here it is right here:

How To File a Bug Report with Logcat:

Install android sdk

Install drivers for adb on PC

connect phone to PC

open cmd.exe

type 'adb logcat' without the quotes

start the app that causes the issues

wait for the app to close or get to the error

copy logcat contents and put in pastebin

copy pastebin links here

OR

Install "alogcat" from Market

Run it to get log until your Issue pops up

copy logcat contents and put in pastebin

copy pastebin links here


Before filing a bug report, please consider the answer to these:

1. Is the bug reproducible?

2. How do you reproduce it?

3. What is the expected behavior?

4. What actually happens?

5. Do you have a Task Killer running?

6. Are you on the default Kernel?

7. Did you restore using Titanium Backup?

Info Needed:

1. Are you using the default kernel? Y or N 

2. If using a custom kernel are you loading the correct bcm4329.ko and tun.ko? Y or N

3. Are you using a fresh data.img created by the system on 1st boot? Y or N

3. Are you using the default Build Folder Name that came with your version? Y or N


What's New?


V1.1
- Fixed 3G APN's now set on 1st boot (Huge Shout Out to mdeejay, phiredrop and hastarin for helping me out here!)
- Added some Important Utilities like Term, GScript, etc.
- 240 set as default DPI
- ReadMeOrWeepInWinMoMisery Included ;)
- Updated liblights latest fix by gauner1986
- Added Languages (Thanks for the tip mdeejay)

V1.00
- 1st Sense Build
- Fully Themed using MattedBlues + Matte Gray
- Using Hastarin#4.1 kernel as default
- Updated Maps
- Updated Street
- Updated Gmail
- Included Gallery3D
- Other tweaks and fixes
- Only English & Spanish languages Supported



Tips & Tricks:

Code:
Everything may not initialize properly on first boot. Reboot twice after the first successful boot.

Use all the defaults (including build folder name and kernel) before changing anything.

On First Boot, Install then Open Spare Parts and Disable Compatibility Mode to get Full Screen Apps in Older Apps that don't scale

Fully Charge while Device is Off before first boot, then upon first boot go to terminal and enter these (without the quotes) and press enter after every line.

su

rm /data/system/batterystats.bin

Ensure that Keypad Lights are on when Haret is launched.

Fixes:

To fix dialer from adding 011 every time a "+" precedes a number dialed, please refer to this.

Please read through the instructions on fixing the 011 bug... Its Right ABOVE THIS Sentence. :)

To get data working:
1. Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
2. Press the menu button and choose "New APN"
3. Enter your provider-specific information (Google for CyanogenMod APN as they have a whole list there) :)
4. Press menu and select "Save"
5. Press the radius button next to your new APN and you're good to go!

*Note: Data is quite picky on this build as its originally a 4G ROM and CDMA... If it doesn't work for you, then hopefully the next update fixes it. :)

The 3 Hyper Rules:
Rule#1 Please read & follow Instructions before reporting unknown bugs on the thread (Known Issues will not be responded to... If you're smart enough to load Android on your HD2, you're smart enough to search and read the stickied information) and not by PM... PM's will be ignored
Rule#2 If It can fixed, I will do my best to fix It... No Promises...
Rule#3 The Next Build will be released when its ready... No ETA's

Please Follow the Instructions:

1. Please read the OP... this serves as the README for this 1st build... next builds will have it included in the Zip.
2. Please Copy the HyperDroidSense Folder to the root of your SD card.
3. Run clrcad (to enable sound) THEN run haret (which will close the WinMo kernel and load Android).(OR do it Automatically by Using Exceller's Android Loader, which I highly recommend and use myself to Quad-Boot)
3. Wait about 15-20 minutes for the device to initialize

You want to use another Android loader? Simply rename the folder to Android and change the startup.txt to reflect the change... after booting successfully for the 1st time and letting the device "simmer" :D (e.g. "rel_path=Android")


Notes:
* Backup the data.img that comes with the build as creating a new data.img is NOT recommended
* If some apps don't look the way they should, download LCD Density app from market and change to default 240.
* The Blue Wallpaper may not be set by default... Go into /system/customize/resources and copy SPC_Wallpaper and set as Wallpaper using Astro

What's TESTED & working:
WiFi
USB Transfers (surprised it worked myself)
G-Sensor (Goodbye Freezing on PPP) ;)
Bluetooth
GPS
Wi-Fi
PPP Data (3G + HSDPA)
LED Lights Notifications

What's NOT working:
EVOCamera Flash (kernel support is being looked into) turns pics with flash Black
Native Android Camcorder Crashes (Use EVO Camcorder instead)
4G and Sprint Specific Menus will NOT Work
Data (Out of the Box) does not work UNTIL you Manually enter your APN
Enabling and Disabling the Mobile Data Crashes the com.android.phone process (most probable cause is the CDMA origins of EVO builds)

Don't complain in the thread why any of the 5 things above don't work since its on the OP. ;)

What could be working but has not been Tested:
MMS (Since I use WiFi only, I'm not able to test MMS Properly)
Wi-Fi Tethering (ditto)
USB Tethering (ditto)

About this Build/Release:

In the spirit of the open source community, allow me to share and give back to something I enjoy participating in--- Tweaking my Gadgets to Death... yes, to death...

I am not a developer nor do I aim to be called as such. I believe this should be reserved for the real people who do the work behind the scenes and in the trenches of kernel hacking.

I am an extreme gadget enthusiast or simply a Gadget Geek... The work I do is to put together bits and pieces of what works and what looks good to create a gadget experience that is elegant, polished, minimalist and functional (E-P-M-F).

From my HyperROM WinMO ROM roots to today, I've always liked using and sharing a ROM that meets my E-P-M-F aspirations for a gadget. Today I bring you my personal twist on an Android ROM based on the latest EVO OTA Update (3.29.651.5)


Build Features:
1GB Data Image (included)
Latest Overclocked and Undervolted Stable Kernel by hastarin
Custom Modded Theme and Apps
Useful Tools/Utilities Included and easily updateable or removable

Changing Kernels:
Want to try out the latest and greatest kernels from GIT?
1. rename zImage to workingzImage
2. copy new zImage to "/HyperDroidSense" directory on the sdcard
3. copy bcm*.ko and Tun.ko to "/HyperDroidSense/root/system/lib/modules" on the sdcard (create the paths if its not there)

I sincerely hope you enjoy your HD2 as much as I have... Android has literally given my device a new lease on life...

Enjoy the HyperDroidSense for your HD2!

UPDATE: This short review is based on the release prior to releasing it to mass public. At this time, Pongster has only release to testers to ensure everything is working perfectly. A link to DL this build will be posted shortly.
---
Can't wait to try this build. I'll do a report soon.
Just Tested:

0) Use the stock data.img after extracting the folder.
1) Music does NOT studder like in Mattc's 1.0.1 evo build. I love music. It's a high priority.
2) Speed: It's fast and speedy and on par with the 1.5 hyperdroid build, however, though it chokes here and there more often.
3) Stability: Yet to confirm, but its stable so far for me. No crashes yet. Jayy got a "acore" crash. Poor you.
4) Quadrant scrore was at 1682. Nick got scores at 1700+
5) Upload and download speeds via wifi: 5.3Mb/p and 3.7Mbp/s It's good enough for me for regular browsing wifi.
**6) the stock 180dpi is very bad. everything is misaligned. i already confirmed with 3 other people (jay, nick, and robert). You must revert back to 240 for the best alignment, but for a working one, 200 "almost" fixes it.


Good build so far. but has a bit of improvements to work on.
I like the speed of it so far though ;)
