AndroidCommander

Hi, First of all thanks for the great job!

I have a minor issue with AndroidCommaned, I cannot connect to the device, and I don't see it in the list. I tried this both with IceCreamTotsie and NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9 V1.2 ROMs (on SD using Potradroid). I don't have any problem with ACA, NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9-SD V1.2 and [14 JAN][MAGLDR][SD] ICS 4.0.3 CM9 build 15.

Thanks,

Z.

After hours of tweaking and trial and error,I managed to get it working , as soon I get everything working will post in sd section,with full credits to boonbing and the rom creators obviously ..

Sense ROMs

Hi, anybody has been able to port any of the recent "All in one" Sense ROMs?

These have the script that detect if you are using CLK or Magldr.

I try to just add in the Magldr boot folder and META-INF and System folders

and also with all the many additional folders and only the Magldr boot folder

and no luck. Trying to port dansta34's Team Bluedroid V3.4 and Haldric's 2.5

All in One Rom.

Thanks for any advice.

Will this work from WP7??

I am using " HD2_Pdaimatejam_Rom_Wp7.5_mango_7.10.8107.79_v7.2"

Please reply.

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android SD Development] iandy1:
Yes it does. You have to create the SD Android partition with MiniTool Partition Wizard, or Easus Partition Manager.

Follow the video with the procedure on Pdaimatejam's ROM OP.

I am using Pdaimatejam WP7 v7.1.

michie's NAND ROM PORTED

Michie's NAND build ported and works with PPP data as per instructions on first page. The 3G is activated out of the box but I could not get a connection. I copied the CLK 'system' folder after the first boot but that didn't work either. I copied the 'system' folder from Tytung for first boot and 3g data works now.

Sorry, would appreciate if you can further explain the issue and term "AndroidCommand"?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Szczepanik:
Boonbing may I suggest that you consider posting to XDA and splitting the files into groups to fit size limits. There is a set of constant files that are always required (CLRCAD.exe haret.exe etc.) that we do not have to download again and again. These could be in one download. The portadroid_sense.gz and portadroid_desire.gz files can go in separate download files. That will save bandwidth and make it faster for all of us. I have already posted some so you can just copy links. See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20673259&postcount=2668

Good to have you back on this.

I briefly deleted some non-critical apk files to make the rom under 95mb and is surprised to see how smooth the rom runs with full Ram boot.

If you have some time, please help move some of these non-critical signed apk into /data instead so I could further test it. Thank you.

Noted, my friend. Will definitely do it via xda instead.

Tried portadroid 3.2 with hyperdroid 5.8.0 ROM.. Not working.. Any tips?

Can someone give me working link for hyperdroid 5.5.2
[HD2 Android SD Development] zevele:
Sorry, I thought AndroidCommander was more popular... "Android Commander is a small, very fast and intuitive application for Windows. With my program You can easily manage files and apps on Your Rooted Android Device via ADB, without typing any command and mounting SD card."

I use it to transfer files to the SD card, install/uninstall and get information about installed applications. I can also access the system files (to replace framework-res.apk for example). These are only some of the things you can do with it...

My issue is: when you launch Android Commander it presents a list of devices you can connect to. When I tried to connect to the two ROMs I ported using portadroid, I didn't see the device on the list.

Another issue (probably related) I cannot connect to the device from eclipse - to deploy/debug applications.

Not sure the problem is with portadroid... but I didn't have it with Tytung's NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9-SD V1.2.

I hope it sheds a little light on the matter,

Thanks,

Z.

Thanks for explaining... I'll probably need to take a closer look at the init.* files for both Nand vs SD Rom. In portadroid v3 and v4 I try to keep the original Rom with their init files as stock as possible with basic working functions... may be worth exploring further on their other differences now.

Trying to port this using V4 and have been stuck on the port-a-droid wait screen for about 2 hours (1Gb data).

Hopefully this is a complete waste of time, and boonbing is sorting out a SuperRam port.;):D:D:D

Successfully boot into IceCreamTosti_v05

Here's what I did:

1. unzip portadroid into ICS folder on sdcard.

2. unzip icecreamtosti to temporary folder.

3. copy data, META-INF & system folders from tosti into ICS/root/

4. copy kernel/boot folder from tosti into ICS/root/

5. copy clk folder from tosti into ICS/root/system/

6. copy sdcard/media folder from tosti into ICS/root/system/

7. edit startup.txt to your liking.

after first boot, I replaced data.ext4 with the old one from v4.

Booting using clrcad & haret from WM.

[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
Thanks Xylograph :)

For those willing to test out the latest v0.5 using RAM boot, please use attached zipped initrd.gz (replace the one in Portadroid Ultimate 4.0) when porting with this v0.5 as I have modified it to support the "All-in-One" Magldr/cLK ROM concept. Remember also to delete "SD_boot" file from ICS folder before porting and you may want to use Tytung ICS CM9 v1.3 "META-INF" folder instead as I experience no data connection with the default one from Xylograph. Put all the unzipped folders/files you get from v0.5 into "/ICS/root/" folder.

(Note: Default for Portadroid when porting "All-in-One" ROM is cLK)

I will refrain from commenting on the performance of using RAM boot for now... please give GENUINE feedback if you try it (I will not be upset if you say there is no noticeable performance improvement!) ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Xylograph:
Thanks boonbing,

Gonna try this out since I am curious how this performs compared to nand :)

I am also wondering how a odexed rom will perform since this will give even more responiveness overall.. only problem is it will make your system partition larger..

Full RAM Boot for Tosti v0.5

I made some modification on initrd.gz to improve the boot time. Please give feedback if you try. Remember to port with new system.ext4 as it will create a smaller ext4 file for mounting to RAM. Reboot one more time after Setup Wizard is complete. (You will see a file named "system.ext4" at the root of your phone if RAM boot is successful)

As per highlighted by Darkstone in the original SuperRAM thread, Quardrant scores are not valid for SuperRAM.... so use your human instinct to give feedback ;)

[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Sorry for quadrant scores, i was trying to find a way to compare tosti-V5 with tosti-v5 SuperRam. As I didn't notice too much difference, compared to when superRAM froyo arrived on the scene. Maybe I was expecting too much as ICS seems quite fast anyway:)

Since then I have noticed in the app screens, the superRam one is much snappier flicking from side to side

I have just installed V6 using the tosti META-INF, wifi and data working. Although BT voice dialler crashed when i tried to make a call. Also it hung when installing apps using TB. So I pressed the little red button under the battery cover (@Poyensa;))

Edit; camera; took a picture ok then hung when switching to video. Red button again. I think wis1152 is on V5 with original SuperRam initrd so this would not affect him. Camera and video were ok in v5 (with stuttering video)

Thank you my friend once again for this helpful information and contributing in the XDA community :)

Personally, I encourage everyone here to do likewise in contributing to the XDA community proactively as I myself benefited much from this community. Please feel free to use Portadroid (NO need to ask for my permission!) to port any ROMs and if you wish, post it as a SD build separately if you have made an effort to get all functions working BUT: I would strongly encourage you to get permission from the actual ROM developer whose ROM you're porting (I do not wish Portadroid to become a tool for "stealing" other ppl's work) before posting the it as an separate SD ROM.

Last but not least, congrats to yugoport and wis1152 for sharing and contributing their ported ROM with the XDA community!
[HD2 Android SD Development] washpota:
I might be doing something wrong, but I am not able to figure out what. I am able to port the icecreamTosti ROM without superram, but with the initrd.gz for superram, the porting works fine, but am unable to boot. The system.ext4 file shows 101MB, but when I try to boot, it stays on the green HTC logo screen and does not proceed any further. However, after porting, I replace the initrd.gz file to the original one, it boots fine. But I guess, then it does not use the superram concept. Can anybody figure out where I am going wrong? Not able to get the log via ADB, and no log files that I can locate.

If anybody was able to port icecreamTosti using superram, can you post the ported ROM?

Edit: I am using MAGLDR, no winmo

Thank you for the guide that you have made, it is very nice and detailed.

I had tried all the steps except copying "META-INF" folder from NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9 V1.3 [5.Feb.2012] (It is not downloaded on my PC and because of slow connection it takes time) .

Now I have got the network but still data is not working.

Could you please attach the META-INF folder of v1.3 as a zip it will be very helpful for me to get it checked soon?

I am using WP7 and MAGLDR boot.

Since I am using MAGLDR, so instead of replacing CLK kernel do I need to replace magldr into system folder?

I had tried all the steps very carefully.
[HD2 Android SD Development] washpota:
I did try that one, and is working fine. Just that it does not use the superram concept (its system.ext4 is 190MB). I am trying to migrate from WP7, and need something that is fast and smooth.

I downloaded the latest version (6.0), and unzipped ICS folder to the SD card. system.ext4 is 189MB. Booted fine, rebooted 3 times as mentioned in the instructions. I open file manager and see that system.ext4 is still 189MB. Am I missing something here?

BTW, what is root_tmp folder for?

ps: download link to rapidshare is broken.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
in file manager press the home icon and scroll down to system.ext4 100mb. You have been looking at your sdcard, not your RAM
[HD2 Android SD Development] washpota:
OK, my mistake. The file in the home folder is indeed 100MB. Thanks!

All along, I had been thinking that the file in the SD card would be 100MB. At least that is what I see in the ROM I ported with portadroid with the initrd for superram.

BTW, while we are at it, a few last Qs: What purpose does the files in root_tmp serve? Is it safe to delete after the ROM is up?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
sorry washpota, I don't know.

I have noticed while porting various ICS roms that when you start inputting your stuff, a folder called Android is created on the root of the sd card. This folder has a data folder inside which has various files in it. I have been using different names for folders for different builds eg ICST, CM9ICS, and have kept the Android folder separate for each build by renaming it ICSTAndroid, CM9ICSAndroid etc.

Would it not be better to name the build folder "Android" by default on start-up (in startup.txt)? This would keep all the build's folders together in one folder. When you want to boot a different build, rename it Android first.

This is only relevant if you have multiple builds on your SD, and I am not sure whether Android/data folder can be safely shared by different builds.

Sorry if this is a known problem/non-issue.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Szczepanik:
IceCreamTosti v0.7a Port

IceCreamTosti works even better with v0.7a Portadroid on SD. These are 4 steps:

1) Create a folder on your SD card called "ICST"

2) Download Portadroid Ultimate v4.0 and unzip to ICST

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1094372

3) Download my ICSTostiV0.7.zip and unzip to ICST

hotfile.com/dl/146982944/59d0ffe/ICSTostiV0.7.zip.html

Explanation: This will copy a "root" folder with the required files from IceCreamTosti v0.7 [18-02-12] by Xylograph<xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1441462>. In this version 0.7 there is no need to use TYTung files to get WiFi working. The files that are copied are :

data, META-INF & System -> ICST/root
sdcard/media -> ICST/root/system/media
clk/*.* -> ICST/root/system
startup.txt -> ICST/startup.txt

It will also replace "startup.txt" with folder "rel_path=ICST data_size=512 gps_zone=uk". You can change this to suit yourself.

4) In Windows Mobile, in the ICST folder, run clrcad.exe, then haret.exe. (Note clrcad is required even if it does not appear to do anything). Portadroid will take 5 to 10 minutes to port the rom and reboot to windows - this is normal. Run clrcad & haret again and this time ICS will load. After ICS setup, I strongly recommend a reboot and then in windows, run clrcad and haret a third time to let everything settle.

In order to Update_v0.7_to_v0.7a, first install V0.7 as above, then re-create the root folder and copy the META-INF & system files from IceCreamTosti_v0.7_update_to_v0.7a.zip. Run clrcad & haret as usual, allowing Android to update.

TIPS:

a) It is worth doing the Update to restore the Home key.

b) You can change the LCD Density in Settings > ROM Control > General UI > LCD Density > 240

c) Apex Launcher allows you to Backup & Restore to "/Android/data/apexlauncher"

d) Android/data folder can be safely shared by different builds.

e) Search the original Xylograph Tosti, WIS1152 SD & this Portadroid thread and my wikis if you have questions.

f) Screen-shot attachments show how I built the root folder.

g) Give this a go - it is easy and worthwhile:)

Cheers

Tom

Is this with superram:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Szczepanik:
SuperRAM

No I prefer to let people choose for themselves. However, my ICST_Port will make it easier to test Boonbing RAM boot. You can do this by simply deleting "SD_boot" and replacing "initrd.gz" before you run clrcad & haret the first time. (Only do this if testing RAM boot!)

As my screen shot 8 showed I still have "SD_boot" that indicates that I am not using SuperRAM.

Cheers

Tom
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
the sd_boot folder is a flag folder which tells the build to boot from system on sd.

If removed, the build boots from ram sd. Assuming system is in RAM which is where the new initrd.gz is involved.

I think:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Hi Szczepanik, Thank you for your concise instructions.I have tried both super RAM and normal versions, and while you can easily change LCD in the normal version using your method, you can't in the super RAM version. This is the same problem that wis1152 has had. Hopefully, a solution can be found.
