1GB as far as I know. Thats what is recommended by most devs. To partition all you need to do is go into recovery (Clockworkmod) and use the partition feature.

Apps2SD+ = Apps data is pushed to the partition after install or reboot in some cases I think.

Data2SD/Data2Ext = All user data is stored on partition as internal memory is extended.

data.img = Basicaly same as what data.img does on SD build, ie the .img file is used as internal memory.

(I may not be 100% accurate on the above so if anybody has more detail please add)

PS. You should have done a bit of reading, there has been roms with this functionality for ages.

Ultimate Droid 3.1.1 so good.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Neurotica:
I did plenty of reading, only problem was that I kept playing safe. Right after that reply of yours I flashed HyperDroid GBX 2.3.3 with CWM and boy I couldn't be happier. I also have the SD card fix on. This thing flies!

I will suggest anyone going for NAND to partition to EXT4 through GParted rather than CWM though. Gingerbread is more stable, compatible and faster with EXT4.

Thanks bud!

Where does android save the contacts?

Where does android save the sms?

Where does android save the notes?

Does android permanently erase contacts after clear data?

Can I restore erased data from pohone?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shad0wboss:
Depends, which phone you're using. On motorola, the contacts get saved over the blur network. On samsung, you can probably sync contacts through Keis although i've never used a samsung phone. Notes are probably saved in the internal memory of the phone which can be accessed through rooting the device and using a root file manager?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] namila007:
i think that contacts are sync to the google account.once you delete all the contact,after a sync with ur google account you can restore your contacts :) i dnt know path where they all saving.if you want to backup yr contacts,sms try :"MY BACKUP PRO" app in market :):D:D:D

I just got an HD2 and proceeded to put the radio on 2.14.50.14 and got magldr113 and recovery working perfectly.

However, every since ROM I've tried has problems. The most common involves data activity: for example Market downloads/installations often cause a reboot without the app being installed. For example, this happens with both the latest TypoohN as well as the latest HyperDroid.

Here's an example logcat excerpt of this (I think>) happening with HyperDroid:

E/PackageManager( 1724): Couldn't create temp file for downloaded package file.

E/AndroidRuntime( 1724): *** FATAL EXCEPTION IN SYSTEM PROCESS: PackageManager

For UltimateDroid, this problems seems much better, however, when I install apps they seem disappear after a reboot. Even the basic apps such as Market come back with a message that the app is not installed.

In all cases, when switching ROMs I've done a full wipe prior to installation.

At this point, I'm contemplating sending the phone back (which unfortunately means having to go through flashing back Windows) in case it has a some hardware problem.

But before I do that, does anyone have any suggestions?

did you do HSPL2.08?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kiki_tt:
The problem I think in my humble opinion is not the rom...but more importantly the baseband which acts as control for the hardware telling it what to do...

At first i thought my second hand $250 Leo was broken but then i did the following

1. reflash WM 6.5

2. update the baseband to 2.15.xx.xx.....you are using 2.14.xx.xx

3 install magldr113 to safe guard against any future problems or crashes

3 do the suggested CWM / cLK thing and reflash a NAND rom ....

please let me if this worked
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gghose:
Yes, I did.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gghose:
That was my thought too. So redid the baseband (I reported the wrong version, I'm actually using 2.15.50.14). And yes magldr113 is installed along with CWM.

I suppose I could start entirely from the beginning, but since UltimateDroid is closest to working, I'm going to try see if I can fix its problems. If I can't make any progress, is there an easy guide to reflashing WM 6.5? (Which I would have to do for a return anyway.)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] WarlockW:
Do This and It Will Work!

1. Reflash Radio .. I recommend the 2.15.50.14 Radio If you have a T-Mobile 1024

2. TASK29 Phone .. this will clear / erase rom

3. Reflash MAGLDR And ClockworkMod Recovery in that order!

4. FORMAT SD CARD! FULL WIPE and FORMAT .. I use Panasonic SD Formatter

5. COPY Android Rom ZIP USING SD CARD READER! .. If you dont have one BUY One!

Do Not Use MAGLDR And ClockworkMod Recovery to Copy Rom Zip To SD CARD!

IF AFTER YOU HAVE DONE ALL OF THIS AND IT STILL FAILS .. TRY A NEW SD CARD!

I Have Seen Many Times Its a Bad SD Card!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gghose:
Well I've done almost all of that. I reflashed recovery to latest version with the partition scheme recommended by Ultimate Droid.

I copied the ROM zip to the SD card on a computer using a card reader, and confirmed with md5sum that it's correct.

I wiped partitions before installation, and I did an install zip from SD card from within recovery.

Same problem: after a reboot, tons of applications have gone missing. Any application installed to the SD card is fine though.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gghose:
Still no joy on reboots

And just to make it official, I did a task 29 and went with a more recent version of Ultimate Droid, and it still happens!!!!

An interesting note: it seems to require me "signing in" to google before this problems happens. I can wipe data and it's fine, and before signing in I can reboot just fine. Which suggests to me that the Google sync is screwing me up. Is there a way of reinitializing that data?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
Hi. Sometimes(most of the time) whenever we wish to switch to try another custom ROM, we have to wipe all data and hence all the downloaded app will gone. As a result of that, before we even flash new ROMs, we have to do a back-up of all the downloaded app, turning them into apk file into our SD card so that its easier to again reinstall those app.

My question is, is there any app that we can use to install ALL the apk files in our SD Card all at once in just a click of one or two taps? Because its tedious for us to actually install those apps one by one. Especially for me that have installed many apps in my Desire HD.

Thank you. =)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkoljo:
Well, your google backup restores all the market apps automatically, so you do not need to worry about those.

You can copy your apk files into /data/app/ in the rom zip file. Then you do not even have to install them, they will be ready to use immediately.

I can only guess, but I believe that your device might simply be named Android_[IMEI]. (-->Hostname)

I have no idea how to change it though, you would probably have to look into the WiFi API or some shell commands (You could try "busybox hostname" if you have root).

I have read that people have used the OneClickRoot with EC05 and it worked fine.

If you want to run a custom rom; I would use Odin to put the EB13 Extended on your phone (it has CWM and Root and EXT4 set to go).

Then apply one of the awesome EC05 ROMS; you can run wiFi tether using them.

Wired tether doesn't work but that's lame anyways. Just plug usb cable in, and hit charging.

Definatly worth trying. Recap....

Also most of the time people think bricking is your phone being stuck on the booting screen, which is not a bricked phone. Oh and I am currently running Darky's 9. 5 and helped a friend to get it running on his phone and hours is working perfectly so ja, its awesome good choice :) good luck.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] TonyCubed:
For those wondering, I installed this last night, twice. The initial ROM is fine, the problems start when you install the English pack which replaces the build.plop file.

1) You need to install the ROM

2) Back up build.prop with a file manager (root explorer can do this)

3) Reboot and install the English pack

4) Boot back into MIUI (it may take awhile to load and you'll get some really odd glitches)

5) When you manage to get back into MIUI, fire up root explorer and copy the original build.prop file back

6) Edit the build.prop file and go down to where the language and region is and change language from 'zk' (or whatever it is) to 'en' and region from 'CN' to 'US'.

7) Save the file and restart the phone

You should then have a complete MIUI ROM with English language pack and all the glitches from before should be gone! :)
