What ROM are you using?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Zahurtex:
Important Pls read ... all Magldr users

Further to my below mentioned post I would like to clarify that the patch update for the magldr users released today by boonbing was tested by me on Portadroid SuperRAM GB v1.0 as I was trying to get work Portadroid v1.1 with same cm7 v2.1 rom but wifi and app. disappear did not solve, so i tried with prtadroid v1.0 and it was same.

This morning I applied patch on same folder which was created last night with prtadroid v1.0 and (that was on a separate sd card) wifi and apps. disappear problem solved. But when I tried again this patch with prtadroid v1.1 it did not work.

So, the conclusion is this patch will work with portadroid v1.0 only and it will solve both the wifi and apps. disappear problems only if installed on a fresh new sd card.

But if you install on sd card which already have a android rom (like I do) and you rename android folder to something else and copy portadroid folder named as android and copy prtadroid v1.0 and apply patch then only wifi will work and apps. disappearing problem will still remains. I hope its clear.

HyperDroid-CM7

I have moved in Android/ root only two files: system" and "META-INF

startup:

-system_size=150 ported_rom=nand

-ram_system=1 data_size=1536

but nothing. HTC green logo and than back to WM

Is necessary to move boot.iso (Rom HyperDroid-CM7) in Android SD folder?

Hi boonbing,

Just a feedback regarding the patch - Since I didn't have WiFi problems, I was hoping the patch would resolve the missing apps problem like it did for Zahurtex. Unfortunately, it didn't.

Zahurtex - I haven't tried with a blank SD card, will try it tomorrow and see if it makes a difference. Though it would be great if boonbing is able to fix the issue in the current card itself.

[HD2 Android SD Development] :
Hi caracal reloaded,

Couple of questions regdg. your setup:

01. Have you unzipped the entire META-INF and system folders to Android/root/<- here or Android/<- here?

It should be moved to Android/root/<- here so it looks like Android/root/META-INF and Android/root/system

02. "data_size=1536" in your startup.txt indicates the data.img file would be 1.5GB. How much free space do you have in your SD card? Could you try with a smaller data.img size like "data_size=512" and see if it comes up?

Missing Apps Issue for Magldr Users

To all Magldr users,

I looked at the system.ext2 file provided by onlinegames and does not find any abnormality except for the wifi issue...

A couple of questions for all Magldr users. As per Zahurtex quote below, he use a new SD card and the missing app issue is goes away, so my question is:

1) How many Magldr user used a new SD card with only Portadroid (ie. no other Android folder or ROM) and did NOT have missing app issue after reboot?

2) Does Magldr create a separate partition on the SD card (for Android app storage) before booting?

3) For those with Root Explorer, install any app from the market and then look into the "/data/app" or "/data/app-private" or "/data/dalvik-cache" folder in the root of your Android filesystem. Tell me if you see the app inside one of these folder?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Claus72:
1) I have a used sd card and I have no problems with MAGLDR, I have no missing apps after reboot.

2) No

3) I have notice a problem with Root Explorer and Portadroid: sometimes if you rename a folder and exit from Root Explorer when you open again Root Explorer the folder is lost.

I am a Magldr user. Trying several of your suggested Nand, and i never pass the first green HTC logo.

I use an empty 8GB SD card class 2.

If someone can explain how to proceed with Magldr, it would be nice.

For exemple which Nand to choose when APP2SD or Ext2/Ext3/Ext4 is proposed?

And then how to install?

Thank you for this clever solution.

Hi boonbing,

1. I installed portadroid on a new SD card and the apps did not disappear even after a REBOOT.

2. & 3. I shall check using my other SD card which also has a WP7 partition (I shall refer to it as the dual-boot card).

Fyi - While using the dual-boot card, I even tried to format the FAT partition on the SD card and then use Portadroid ROM but even then, I faced the problems of apps missing after a reboot.

I really hope you are able to fix this as I really would like to run HyperDroid v 2.1.0 on SD card while having WP7 on NAND.

NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.7 [GRJ22/Android2.3.4][Kernel:tytung_r10] by tytung

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905060

tested OK with [31-MAY][RAM] Portadroid SuperRAM GB v1.1 [kernel:tytung/rapigna]

This is my startup.txt

set cmdline "rel_path=AndroidNexus ram_system=1 data_size=256 system_size=150 ported_rom=nand kernel_type=tytung clear_cache=no lcd_density=240 gps_zone=uk"

It is great to be able to have several ROMs in folders with different names (e.g. AndroidNexus) while I work out which one I like best. Next time for this ROM I might slightly increase the system_size to be more than 150.

Note that boonbing advises it is best to clear the memory in Windows Mobile (e.g. CleanRAM) first and keep power supplied while doing the boots.

As the thread mentions, the Nexus does not support Radio but loading Apps through Titanium Backup, BlueTooth, Calls (voice dial over BT!), USB connection (using Droid Explorer), and WiFi (did not need to use fix) all work for me.

[HD2 Android SD Development] EngineerMind:
Hi boonbing,

Can you think of any reason why your SuperRAM implementation seems to be a lot more "finicky" then Darkstones?

What I mean is that I never had any problems reinstalling or booting his SuperRAM froyo 1.5 - it would just boot 99 out of a 100 times without me doing any preparations or maintenance.

I didn't have to reformat my SD card using the panasonic formatter - I even used various SD cards that either had the original format on them (when they were purchased), or maybe I did a format using Windows.

I never had to run a cleanRAM program nor did I need to keep the power plugged in when booting into android. I was even able to use my custom "energy" rom with the latest radio 2.15 and DS's SuperRAM worked just fine.

Darkstones's RAM implementation was just so reliable. But with your tool, I find myself not being able to even do a successful second boot into android using any of the three "tested" ROM's you listed in the first post (even when I tried doing all of your "prep" work like formatting the sd with the panasonic util, ect) :(

Can you think of anything that darkstone did a particular way that maybe you could try to do it that way to see if your SuperRAM will be more robust?
[HD2 Android SD Development] sorceforge:
Thanks for creating this freak! I have my another android rom installed on my nand, so I'm very reluctant to whether it works or not, but I'll try to have it worked. :)

anyway, I have a request. Could you integrate the AmericanAndroid kernel? It seems that It is one of the most competitive kernels, and It can be helpful for those who are using dual androids boot, because it seems that tytung kernel reads the files in NAND when Android ROM is in the nand, not system.ext2.
[HD2 Android SD Development] uzi2:
WarrenB's AmeriCanAndroid kernel has this same behaviour in the current release.

[HD2 Android SD Development] boomboomer:
Pull the battery, leave for 30secs then retry - leave it booting for at least 5mins. This is all in the instructions....
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
Sorry, probably not at the moment... until I improve the architecture of Portadroid... the permissions settings will likely screw your system up if you update it this way.

But of course if you are good with permissions and script, then you can try to put a script in the update folder to set it up prior to updating the files.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
Sorry John for the frustration that you encountered with this tool... I acknowledge it is not perfect and I am not as proficient as Darkstone in developing for Android.

SuperRAM Froyo by Darkstone is a ROM build by itself while mine is a tool that allows user the flexibility to choose the ROM to install... so there is a higher possibility that it may fail depending on how user install the ROM. Also Gingerbread ROM are much "heavier" than Froyo (~1.5x) and the stability of mounting into RAM may still need testing and development.

Ultimate Droid with Portadroid SuperRam [Tytung r10]

Ultimate Droid with Portadroid SuperRam [Tytung r10]

I admit I pushed boonbing to release Portadroid so I could move from Android 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 to avoid potential security issues. Boonbing also wanted to move from Tytung r9 to r10 kernel. However I did also want to try Ultimate Droid [Approved by Darkstone] to see what it was like but this is Gingerbread 2.3.3 & uses Tytung r9.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=958953

Thanks to boonbing and the Portadroid community, this is how I implemented working Ultimate Droid with Portadroid SuperRAM GB.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1094372

1) Create AndroidUD folder in your SD card (I have several different ROMs and Portadroid provides the flexibility to choose your own "rel_path=AndroidUD")

2) Copy files from Portadroid_SuperRAM_GB_v1.0.zip into the AndroidUD folder. (You can do this Windows Mobile, Windows OS or Android). Zahurtex notes that the required patch will work with portadroid v1.0 only so do not try with v1.1

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14330132&postcount=220

3) Download the Ultimate Droid 3.3 Magldr (MD5: 76bbea15bfbb36ff0176e1cf925c23ac) and copy just the "META-INF" and "system" folders from hd2-3.3.zip into the /AndroidUD/root/ folder.

4) Edit /AndroidUD/startup.txt to show the correct rel_path, that the ported_rom=nand and the country code for your gps_zone=uk - this is mine:

cmdline "rel_path=AndroidUD ram_system=1 data_size=256 system_size=150 ported_rom=nand lcd_density=240 gps_zone=uk"

5) I recommend clearing RAM in Windows Mobile (WM) first and connecting to power before you open /AndroidUD/clrcad.exe and then /AndroidUD/haret.exe

6) Follow the instructions in the thread (small white text, green HTC, reboots itself) and then repeat the previous step and watch this process again. You will be rewarded with the Ultimate Droid Animation.

7) Do not modify Ultimate Droid yet, be patient, first go back to WM and apply this patch:

magldr wifi fix GB234.zip from Post # 213

8) rugo80 provides details on inserting manual ip address and gateway, dns and submask in wi fi setting advanced - see Post # 249

9) dragonovus reminds us to reboot in his Post # 250

10) Although we chose a ROM with the wrong version of Gingerbread and an older kernel, the end result is Ultimate Droid with Tytung r10 kernel and working WiFi and Market Place applications in SuperRAM:)

Having easily tried it, if you like Ultimate Droid, roll your sleeves up, watch the video by Sklar and implement it from the official thread. Alternatively, check out some other ROMs with Portadroid. Read the Wiki: Portadroid

I noticed that the created system.ext2 size is 153 (default value) even if in startup.txt it is defined 350. Most probably something goes wrong while retrieving command line parameters from startup.

Could you please check and provide an initrd with system_size = 450 so that most of the sense build can fit?

No wifi with sense build

Hi.

Tried 2 Sense Roms - imilka Desire HD as recommended in 1st post, and ReflexTSense 1.8 by NeoPhyTe.x360 for Desire. These boot and work fine, but I am getting WIFI error when I try to turn on. Tested data, and this works. Tried the magldr wifi fix as suggested a few posts back which didn't make any difference.

The RelexTSense Rom also has graphical glitches which aren't mentioned as problems on their page.

Great work. Hope you can help.

You must be doing something wrong. If you are trying to port a sense build, which portadroid version are you using? I just tried the 0.1 beta which is meant for sense build and it created a 350mb system.ext2 nicely.

I think that in MAGLDR every setting in startup.txt is ignored both in Portadroid (non sense) and Portadroid sense.

Althoug I have set the ram_system=1 in the Portadroid (non sense) I have not a ram build. This is confirmed because if I change the gps.conf, when I restart the phone, I do not lose the change.

The same if I change the kernel in startup.txt with rapigna, I have always tytung.

what about a boot with MAGLDR bot AD SD and Android ROM Nand already install ?

EDIT after tests ; okwith hyperdroid CM7, first boot FC for all apps already install in NAND ROM, second boot ok with all apps already install in NAND ROM.

Anyone can explain me how, does it work because i dont't understand why this ROM use the already install apps on NAND ROM and why apps install on SD CARD with the NAND ROM are uniintall when im back to NAND ROM ?

thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] arifqur:
That seems to be true for MAGLDR as none of the settings in the startup.txt are either used or stick.

For the sense beta version the sytext2 file is always 150MB and data.img is 512MB no matter what settings you have. So the sense version does not boot at all and stops on the second boot at the green htc.

I really love this tool. Hope you can figure out a way to sort this out.

The concept is great a nd you seem to be almost there.

Keep on trying man you will lick this problem yet
