if not boot Magldr update kernel to 3dak or ty 12.4
[HD2 Android SD Development] Sebastiano1:
Nice Rom

Hi Box,

Exactly the conf. I am using right now.

Is it worth to do the whole installation again for the optimizations.

Everything (for what I am using ;-) is working great.
[HD2 Android SD Development] kajos:
Try a new setup, keeping only old data.img

(and all root-fix, if you've changed something);)

Edit:

Or just make a new setup (with old data.img) and BoxmaX v8.6, just arrived:D,

anyone know how to resize system.ext2 ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jpl69:
Is it possible to supply Raf 1.9 kernel ? It's the only one that works VPN. Thanks in advance.

[HD2 Android SD Development] 3dak:
Use this windows OS tool: TopoResize to resolve your issue. just decompress it to any folder and run toporesize.bat, choose your ext2 and change its size.

Refer to attachment

if you use Linux, I wrote a my scrpit to do this before. FYI

mount and cifsmanager

In V8.6 the mount command does not work, so cifsmanager cannot mount any share.

If you start Terminal Emulator and type 'mount', you get 'Toolbox!'. Looks like issues with busybox??
[HD2 Android SD Development] chn110:
Both mount and umount are bad. To fix this, open Terminal Emulator. Run

su

cd /system/bin

rm mount umount

ln ../xbin/busybox mount

ln ../xbin/busybox umount

BTW, the kernel module nls_utf8.ko is missing.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boxmax:
Kernel h 8.5.1 only support (bcm4329.ko+cifs.ko+tun.ko)

Laggy

Thank you for this new release, but is so laggy that it is unusable.

Install from scratch (new data.img) SD version.

As soon i execute a pgm like browser the cpu is always at 100% (measured with quick system pro free from Market), and stay at 100% about 10-20 sec and HD2 is frozen till cpu usage goes down.

Installation of applications is worse.

I tried the 3dak r3.4 final, but i cannot pass the HTC logo.

Is there something i can do to solve lag?
[HD2 Android SD Development] jpl69:
Thanks boxmax but on MAGLDR don't work. As stock it gets stuck on wallpaper screen had to use ty 12.4 to boot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boxmax:
- any v try ?? No lag on v8.6 i tested ... Must clean SD ... & fresh install

- if you use kernel 3dak r3.4 ... must del libaudio.ko from file kernel ...
[HD2 Android SD Development] berutti:
experiencing same problems

the build is impressive, i agree but me too i'm

experiencing the same problems

hd2, base band 11.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14

the build is very laggy and unstable (almost with ANY SD build). installed from scratch, new microsd class 10, formatted with 32kb clusters, installed just android, rebooted lots of time before using as suggested in all forums, but still laggy and unstable. any solution?
[HD2 Android SD Development] TruePlaya:
For me system works fine. Lag from time to time, especially when calling or answering phone.

@Box:

Caller nit visible on lockscreen (only phone number) is solved with KS8.6 -> BIG THANX TO YOU!!!!!

Now this is daily use build ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] emottier:
Lag

Thank you answering, i tried as others with clean SD same lag.

How do you del libaudio.ko, as i can't load, i am stuck with HTC logo...

I did not try with Hastarin 8.6.

I just tried the MccMBoxmaX Transformer v7.0 and there is no lag compare to this one.

I must test a bit more Transformer but definitly much better lag speaking...

Thank you both again for your work.
[HD2 Android SD Development] decebal12345:
Thank you very much.

Can you tell please how can I backup mails settings and call settings (contact's ringtones, contact's speed dial).

I lost too much times to set again and again all this settings for all the builds...
[HD2 Android SD Development] darkony:
already tried that but after resize phone want boot and when I try to mount (gizmo) system.ext2 it shows empty ask to format

P.S. will build be faster, if system.ext2 is smaller, or not if not than I just fill it with apps I use because there is always 120 mb free when i remove not needed default apps and have smaller data.img
[HD2 Android SD Development] light_n_roses:
HI box !

where you usualy go to search fix for android here on xda, is there a thread regarding general bugs for sense ?!?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kajos:
I only use titanium and SMSbackup

- and data.img, if it's not a different build-base;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] benlm72:
Hi Boxmax,

Thank's for this new build. I've tried to update from KS8.1 (keeping old data.img and deleting system.ext2 which seems to be replaced by system.img), but it doesn't make the job (the htc white panel comes back again and again...). Do I made a mistake ? Could you tell me what's the good way to update ?

Thank's in advance !
[HD2 Android SD Development] kajos:
Make a new setup, only using your old data.img:

- copy your 8.1 (SD) on PC (for backup)

- extract v8.6 on PC

- delete data.img

- put in your "old" one

- format SD

- copy Android from PC to SD

- boot
[HD2 Android SD Development] darkony:
Boxmax if you can pls add swap support its necessary especially with sense build
[HD2 Android SD Development] benlm72:
Hi kajos,

Thank's for your answer. Unfortunately this has not resolved my problem, I always cannot launch KS 8.6 with my 8.1 data file (no sound on the "quietly" white screen, which comes back again and again). I just managed tp launch a fresh install. I've noticed that some app or widget I use in sense interface are removed from the 8.6 build (QuickBoot, sound profile widget) : could it explain my problem ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] kroolas:

[HD2 Android SD Development] kroolas:

H 8.5.1 is extremely laggy.

I updated to Raf 1.9 OC, works much better, but still too laggy.

I installed facebook and tweeter for sense and friend stream widget does not work (FC sense)

there is no google navi (?)

I'm quite busy this weekend to test more, so I'm reverting to the last good working 7.1 version. I'll give 8.6 a try in the next days.

Boxmax, in the mean time could you advise about the above problems.
[HD2 Android SD Development] son70:
I usually try new build over the weekend eg Saturday. Tried v8.6 last weekend. Still lag. Sometimes lag during unlock ring, sometime dialing, sometimes home screen. (why some ppl say this version is fast n responsive???) (is my hd2 version correct?) So switched back to v7.1. Then I tried mccmboxmax transformer v7 two days ago. Responsive. Good. But after a day or two, starts to lag.

My hd2 version

Rom 1.66.707.1

Radio 2.51.50.14

So going back to v7.1 boxmax
[HD2 Android SD Development] mccmjoon76:
weird. I used it Transformer build for 5 days now. No problem still very stable and smooth.
[HD2 Android SD Development] light_n_roses:
for no lag the only option is use hastarian kernel...no alternative for now in my opinion ...just hope that 3dak can develop something better in the future ..

But is it possible using it with hastarins kernel as a build for daily use or is it better taking directly MCCM's Transformers V7.0 build ?

That one is very stable but I like the stock design in some points more than the themed one and with BoxmaX version Flash player is working, too.
[HD2 Android SD Development] SpiritRC:
I started with Boxmax KS 5.0 - it was super stable and fast, but drained the battery too quickly. I upgraded to 7.0 by replacing system.ext and zImage only. It was less stable, but still fast and the battery lasted longer. Now I installed 8.6 from scratch and it's unbelievably slow (some easy operations take like a minute of struggle), unstable (lots of "force close") and to all that it drains the battery almost as quickly as 5.0. What is most disappointing in all that, is that two-way call recording never worked with any of the versions. :(

Any suggestions?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Cybermutant:
Facebook & Twitter for v8.6

Hi BoxmaX, are the HTC Sense Facebook and Twitter apps you posted for v8.5 also compatible with v8.6?

I don't know the speed of transformer v7 ( I haven't test it yet ) so I don't know if 8.6 with hastaran kernel can reach transformers-...
[HD2 Android SD Development] benlm72:
Hi Boxmax,

Same problems for me (slow, "force close"), after a few weeks of test I'm back to the KS 7.2 which is for me the best of your KS releases. For me, it's a good start point for future releases.

Thank's for the job !

Today I run through 7.0, 8.1 and 8.6 version. Downloading to 16Gb 10class card.

Booting with MAGLDR, I use different Kernel.

So what I think:

7.0 - Still have glitches.

BoxmaX+KS+v8.1.SD with Boot Magldr.rar is best of all. It fast and stable. Radio works pretty good. Animation is sensitive.

8.6 is to slowwww... :(

Also I found a little grafic bug in Gallery in all roms . Please fix it if no so hard.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boxmax:
gallery included not original ... it for Sense 2.1 ... original gallery Sense3 same gallery in Sense 3.5 ...i know how to fix but Sense not Stable with this fix ...

Thank you BoxmaX for this great ROM, all is working perfect and super smooth and fast :)

Maybe you'll manage it, that the Camcorder records in 800*480 without lags, but it's more a hardware problem than a software problem. Our HD2 is too old :D

A little question : Why did you change from Pyramid ROM back to Desire HD ROM ? The DHD stock ROM is good, that's clear but I think using a ROM from a newer model is besser or not ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] boxmax:
Pyramid ROM size screen 540 x 960 pixels

it big for hd2 .... ya resiz but .apk edited not orginal one ...

Desire HD all app & widget same size screen hd2 & RUU DesireHD GB 2.3.5 & sense3

i think best ! :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] King-Chris111:
So I think you're right in your decision ;)

But one little "Bug" I discovered. The light sensor isn't really working :(

If I change the option Auto-illumination ( I hope it's called so in Englisch ) the illumination always is on maximum, only if i set it manual the device makes what I want.
