Release Notes:
  • "Stock" build except blocking ads (hosts file is replaced) and adding "H" (HSDPA) icon and battery % icon
  • By default it is hastarin's EVO based kernel (support for PPP), but you can switch to N1 based kernel (support for RMNET) easily.

    Switch to RMNET by executing "conn_RMNET_with_michyprima_R11_AXI.sh" or "conn_RMNET_with_huanyu_HAVS-BFQ-OC-UV-AXI_925mv-0.1.d-n1.sh" in the GScript folder and then reboot.

    Switch to PPP by executing "conn_PPP_with_hastarin_r8.2_G-Sensor_Fix.sh" in the GScript folder and then reboot.

    Install "GScript Lite" from Android Market to execute these .sh files.
    E.g.: You will see the texts below if executing "conn_RMNET_with_michyprima_R11_AXI.sh" successfully.
    　 　 RMNET is ready.
    　 　 michyprima_R11_AXI is ready.
    　 　 Finished.
    　 　 Reboot required.

  • Create 512 MB data.img (You can specify the different data image size in startup.txt)
  • Rooted: superuser privileges (su and busybox) included
  • Some apps included (Delete any apk files in the AndroidApps folder before first boot if you don't like any of them.)

What is working:
  • WiFi
  • GPS (works great. I got a location within 15 seconds.)
  • 3G/HSDPA
  • 5MP Camera with flash, auto focus and zooming
  • Camcorder with flash
  • LED status notification
  • Keypad LED control
  • Compass
  • Bluetooth
  • USB Mass Storage (Android cannot see the copied files before rebooting, but they're there.)
  • WiFi Tethering/Hotspot (works with RMNET. For PPP, please install android-wifi-tether on Google Code)
  • USB Tethering (Please install android-wired-tether on Google Code)
  • Auto Backlight

Tips:
  • Battery power consumption is about 5~7mA (less than 1% per hour) without SetCPU installed.
    • To my knowledge, the battery life is related to the WM ROM, radio version, and all the apps running in the background.
  • By default the CPU is set to 245MHz ~ 998MHz with conservative.
  • Turn off live wallpaper for better performance and battery life.
  • Install LauncherPro for a smoother home screen.
  • I have included the following apps in the AndroidApps folder, they will be installed at first boot:
    • DSPManager 1.0.apk
    • ES File Explorer 1.4.6.apk
    • Fancy Widget 1.3.0.apk (Time & Weather)
    • Superuser 2.3.6.1.apk
    • TeslaLED 2.0.4 Gala.apk
  • About 3G/HSDPA:
    • The stock Nexus One ROM only shows 3G icon in the status bar no matter if you are in HSDPA or not.
    • You can check under "Settings > About phone > Status > Mobile network type". If it says HSDPA, you are on the 3.5G network ("H" Network).
    • With v1.3 and above, I have included FRG83_stockbar_add-on_H_icon_and_battery%_icon.zip in the "Android/root" folder.
  • Please install MoreLocale 2 from Android Market to enable more languages if needed.
  • Please visit Nexus One Help website and try to find the answer when you encounter any software issues on NexusHD2-FRG83(D). Thanks.

Installation Instructions:
  1. Extract the Android folder (with all files in in) to root of your SD Card. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
  2. If you already have an Android folder on your SD Card DELETE IT OR RENAME IT, because this version MAY BE INCOMPATIBILE with older releases !!!
  3. After copyng everything to your SD Card ensure you have at least 600 Mb free space for data store
  4. After you have done all steps go into Android folder and tap CLRCAD (for working sound), and after that just tap HaRET.
  5. On first run when there is "Creating a new datastore" just give it time to complete, and on first boot be patient and give it time to load everything.
  6. If you get some strange errors, or Android does not work, try to reformat SD card and try everything from the start.
  7. HD2 needs radio 2.08 or above to run Android. If you never upgrade your radio, you may not be able to run Android on HD2.
