Unit comes with ICS, was hoping to get Jellybean on it.
Found the firmware files for it, finally got that to work only to discover that it resets it all back to factory.
(boy did THAT make the wife happy.. NOT)
Would be much more useful to have JB on it..
Specs are here, if it's any use.. it looks to me like it would support JB, but looks can be deceiving.

I have had my Advantage 7501 for over a month now and love it except for a couple of features.
**One is the key baord is hard to use in a low light situation.
** Another is the lack of a DEDICATED phone button on screen
**Third is the camera settings ie shaky images
maybe a little experience is around that has not found me and my personal issues yet...........
Any ideas?
Hi there
Nope, no blacklit screen dedicated to the Athena that I know of.
BUT having the same needs, here is how I do with my Athena + Black dual PK 3 ROM:
- sound settings: play a soft "tick" when pressing a hardware key. This alone makes the Athena keyboard, in my opinion, infinitly more usable as it provides you with a "feedback" stimulus, even if it's not a mecanical one. You *know* when you have pressed a key "successfully";
- in low light conditions: the TekSoft software keyboard that's integrated (and the full, unrestricted version too !) into the Black Dual PK ROM;
- Use AEButtons to redefine the FLAG button as a phone button, that's what I did.
HTH !
I use AEBPlus and have the Win key single-press assigned to the Green key function, but mostly I use the Jabra BT8010 to answer and software like PocketCM to dial.
I have PKs AP Dual 3.0 ROM which includes Teksoft's FingerTouch soft keyboard which I use in the dark. (If you're doing that much with the keyboard in the dark, maybe your spouse is right. Put *that* thing away for a while....)
The camera is HTC. And it is, after all, a phone camera. But yeah, one would hope HTC would learn that just a great camera on a unit like this would sell a million more of them at a much higher price tag.
Kubuntu for the HTC HD2 version 0.1.0
This release is intended to be run via Haret from within windows mobile.
A MAGLDR version will be released as soon and problems have been ironed out.
Consider this a Technology preview and as such is not intended for daily use.
08/01/11 2:30pm GMT: Sorry for the delay in release I've had a few breakthroughs and decided to implement the changes now rather than do several releases in one week. PM me if you can host the files for me.
What is Kubuntu?
Put simply its the debian based Desktop class OS Ubuntu built with the KDE UI instead of GNOME
Whats special about this release?
Built from scratch - Using Rootstock to create a clean fresh ARM Kubuntu 10.10 rootfs.ext2 image with which to start from.
Finger friendly - Uses Kubuntu's Plasma Netbook UI tweaked in detail by me to allow for optimized touch experience without compromising on screen space.
Some examples:
Hide titlebar and menu bar on maximized windows - Menu, close and unmaximize all tucked into the top panel.
Unmaximized windows have big buttons on the titlebar.
Large fonts in menus
Easily switch between open apps - Uses Desktop Effects to zoom out and present all open windows in a sexy grid, all from a quick tap of the top panel
Better experience - Some niggles from the original Ubuntu 0.2/0.3 release have been addressed:
Better Keyboard - kvkbd - comes with Kubuntu already
Better click and hold options - Thanks to Clickity you can customize your click and hold experience
Overhaul of connectivity options - Completely rewritten connectivity scripts to include intelligent notification tray icon and messages to inform you of 3G/Wifi/USB modes and Internet connectivity. Store settings and choose what option you require on startup. All accessed from a little connectivity icon at the bottom of home screen
==Note: Not quite finished this yet, waiting till i have finished it and packaged it into an installer so HD2 Ubuntu 0.3 users can have it too before i release my kubuntu build. Fingers crossed its only an hours work away.
What Works
3G - Added system tray notification support, Showing if 3G is on and also if it is connected to internet or not.
Wifi - Uses WICD. Default network-manager almost worked, it showed available wifi points but could never complete a connection, reverted to WICD
USB Host - connect lots of different usb devices. See this for instructions
USB Network (Not been able to use internet sharing as yet but can ssh)
SMS and Phone using latest ofono 0,25-1 and Sphone 0.0.5 - no sound tho
Battery notification! - Works perfectly giving status in taskbar, Icon shows charge level, plugged and unplugged icons too.
What still does not work - Mostly Kernel related I am not working on these currently I have simply made a new filesystem see htc-linux for info.
Sound
Bluetooth
GPS
Accelerometer
Hardware buttons not functional
No Screen Rotation
Suspend/Sleep - Power management set to turn off screen after 4 mins to conserve battery. Set in Power saver mode when unplugged Performance when plugged.
Q&A Bugs issues and Workarounds
There is no keyboard on login screen and I need to enter a password i I have enabled paswordless login so just click the (>) to login.
Keyboard Closed - Click on Home at the top left and reopen kvkbd.
Press and hold does not right click - Clickity should be on the taskbar, if not open from Utilities on Home screen. You can toggle the press hold action by pressing the mouse taksbar icon repeatedly until the icon shows the required function.
Freezes -
Can happen if your running something intensive. Wait a few minutes without touching anything and often it comes back to life do not repeatedly click anything you will make it worse.
Often its just one app causing the problem. Bring up the keyboard with floating shortcut and the following shortcuts may help (Click it once and wait a mo if your system is freezing):
Ctrl + Alt + Esc - Turns the pointer into a skull and crossbones app killer, next click on the unresponsive app to kill it.
Alt + F4 or Ctrl + Esc - Normal Close.
Ctrl - Alt - Backspace - restart the x-server
Other useful keyboard shortcuts
Win + D - Go to Home/Desktop
F11 - Fullscreen App toggle, only for some programs.
Alt + Tab - Switch to previous open window
Install Instructions
Extract the linux folder to the main directory(!) of your Storage Card.
If the linux folder is not located in the main directory of the Card,it will not work.
Note: This will not touch your phone's internal memory. WinMo or other Linux/Android builds remain unchanged.
Startup Advice
1) Save all your current work and start the HaRET executable in the linux folder of your SD card to boot Linux.
2) Wait a few moments untill you see the Kubuntu login screen. Do not press anything and it will auto login after a 10 second delay.
If you accidentally click the screen you will notice the password vanish and there is no keyboard! Never fear passwordless login is enabled so just click the (>) to login.
3) Enjoy
4) Shutdown using the power icon on the top panel.

Working on XUBUNTU rootfs at the moment - should be speedy
Testing KUBUNTU 11.04 MOBILE currently - its no where near usable frankly may be better to wait for a proper release.
Will be keeping an eye on htc-linux for new kernel updates and Ubuntu for HD2 for improvements and fixes.

My apologies to everyone for the delay in release.. I have a few more bugs to iron out mainly performance issues and i've expanded my own software to handle network mode notifications etc even further so it should be fully comprehensive. Im also looking into modifying sphone to work better on HD2, I've already revised the icon set so the ugly black and white network signal icons are now beautiful. I will release this as soon as I am happy it runs perfectly. A couple more days and you will have all my efforts to play with! Please anyone get in touch if you can host the download for me and I will send you a copy as soon as I am ready.
The wait is almost over!

A nightmare has befallen my HD2, the usb port has come loose and I am unable to charge it to complete this work, I have just ordered a cradle with spare battery charging slot so when it arrives I'll finish the last bit of work I have to do. I managed to sort out most of the performance issues and am really happy with the battery life, general usability and finger friendliness. Theres just a bit of testing to be done on my custom made software and its ready to go! Devastating I cant test usb host mode. Guess I'll have to find a HD2 with the spare parts I need on ebay as repairing the usb is not an option, theres nothing to solder back its torn the connections on the board.

have you looked at following the tracks on the board towards the closest part, and solder a wire between that and the connector?
it's close to what i done on my modified usb hub to bypase the diode which original protects the host usb port and controller chip, so the external powersupply powers everything.

I already have a power cord installed in the dashboard of my car, but it's on the left side of the dashboard. I'd like to have the flyer on a mount with the power jack on the left, but then it's upside down. Is there any way to enable it to do landscape with the buttons on the top?
Maybe not on Gingerbread with the buttons, but it is possible on some HC roms without the hard buttons.
I'll have to look into that then - currently still running stock GB. I do like the hardware buttons though, so hesitating to go HC until they get them working there.
As you have probably read, many of us find the hard buttons redundant in HC and therefore unnecessary, but I understand if you have a special application you might need them.
I was expecting with HC update that Flyer could be used within 360 deg (since no hardware buttons to be used) but still it acts in 2-way as if there're still HW buttons.
You should ask Lee if he can add that option to his HC LeeDroid ROM, its theoretically possible but requires modification of the HTC sense framework
Yea, it would be a nice considering that when you have a foliio case and it is orientated like a book then to landscape you have to turn it the un natural way in my opinion.

That's strange, at least on the Streak 7 with HC you can rotate all four directions. It's like the flyer in that it started with android 2.x and OTA'ed officially to 3.x (2.2 -> 3.2) Must be a rom limitation then as my Streak 10 also supports all 4 rotations (but it launched with 3.1)
Hi all - I've installed the Ugoos AM2 ROM on my Minix U1 box:
Android 6.0.1 Firmware V1.1.1 for AM2 Android 6.0.1 Firmware V1.1.1 for AM2 440.33MiB 21/06/2017
at http://ugoos.net/downloads.
Everything is fine, except that I cannot use the power button on the A2 lite remote. It will start the box, but will not power down. I've read that this could be due to a limitation of android 6, but am not sure. And no matter what setting is entered in Settings->Display->Daydream, I cannot get the unit to fully power down - only sleep ( green light ). So far i have tried:
- changing "stay awake" to "off" in developer mode
- power key action to "shutdown" in display->daydream settings
- HDMI CEC setting = off
... but nothing works. And as mentioned, the A2Lite remote will turn the box on from a dead state, but the power key becomes unresponsive once the rom loads - tested with a keymap app and it wouldn't even register a keypress when I pressed the power button.
I think I found the answer here, but not sure how to enter the data:
https://kodi.wiki/view/MINIX_A2#keyboard.xml_per_Window_customization.2C_refining_remote_actions
#5
5 remote.conf example for amlogic boxes
/etc/amremote/remote.conf
Example settings needed to map the power button (note - this only applies once the device has booted, the initial power on detection appears to be in hardware)
....
factory_code = 0xfe010001
key_begin
0x18 116 # power
key_end
....
..
Very much appreciated - thanks!
A couple questions: 1) Do you get full 4K HDR res - either youtube or personal videos? 2) The power button thing is a mystery - I think the Kodi wiki nailed it when it mentioned that the remote activates the box from a dead state (hardware-based), but becomes unresponsive after boot-up. Any chance I could have a look at the remote.conf of your ROM and see if I can modify it to add functionality?
Also, what the heck happened to the forum - It's still an active company, no? I've been looking at the posts through search engine caching, but those are gradually disappearing ..
