its just so stable that its almost perfect ROM.

Just like what mentalityx mentioned I do agree it is still ahead of all other ROMS around.

maybe if Dan gets better on his health and time then I'm sure he'll be thinking of new ideas... or maybe prepare for sense 4 :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
Health and work is a barrier but I agree in the future Dan will cook something special for his loyal fans.

Hi all

I'm currently on 3.7 stock version, and I want to add value in battery icon. Did this is possible and how ?

I'd made a search but didn't found anything exept on themed version.

Thank for your help.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] enzo-ita:
Hi,

I installed 3.7 themed on EU HD2 from 3.5 because it was stated that the wifi hotspot was finally working, but I found that it is still not working. Is it my problem or just a wrong statement?

Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
Let me get this straight you want back number value inside the battery icon?? Now if you're would have flashed v3.7 themed you would have a battery icon with a number value in it.

Look at Sandymacs posts in Page 428. In his signature he has links to his v3.7 stock themed icon set. Could be something in there.

---------- Post added at 07:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------

As far as I know it's never worked in that version. That's why there is a app in your app tray called Barnacle WiFi which is a hotspot.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
See my signature. This includes the honeycomb battery indicator and my coloured icon set. Copy the zip to your sd card and install via CWM. No need to do any more (except to make a backup beforehand in case you don't like the results). :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] secaplus:
Hi Sandimac

It was not exactly what i'm looking for, but I apply the patch and it works good.

Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
or if ya want you can try this

[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
I found a icon I liked and generated it but what do I do next to use it??
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tsi_tp:
Just follow these instructions:

http://uot.dakra.lt/how_to/

Its very simple, just like flashing an kernel update.

But don't forget to make a backup ;-)

[HD2 Android NAND Development] ASCIIker:
if you want a simple looking numeric battery percentage in your status bar on stock non-themed version, and if you want EASY steps, then the OPTION is built in to the rom! just do this:

1. goto settings

2. goto rcmix3d tweaks

3. goto status bar options

4. goto battery options

5. choose battery text style

6. choose any setting other than "hide text", see what u like. you can also disable the battery icon because the percentage read-out is enough in my opinion
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alex.odell.2011:
I am sure I will look like a **** in a few posts, but here goes,

how do I do a full wipe in task29?

what software is required (if any)

Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
hmmms to flame or not to flame that is the question lol

you actually dont need to do a task29
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dude0316:
Enhance your calm Kam :cool:

You are above that.:D:D

He just needs to do some research.

Cheers
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
lol i know i was only kidding with him
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alex.odell.2011:
I was waiting for it anyway, so it would have been fine, I was think of trying to flash sense 4.0 rom though, it uses clockwork and wanted to start a scratch :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
If your coming from another ROM to a new one a Task29 is useful. You can do it from the HD2 NAND Toolkit or do a search in the dev thread for the link for Task29. I prefer the Toolkit.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Alex!

What a fallback after all the good evolution in your grey matter! We are disappointed! :D

I'm not gonna tell you that i have documents in my signature which detail the use of MTTY and how to wipe a NAND on the HD2...

Or, if you prefer not to use MTTY (understandable and also it is not required), it details how to wipe the NAND by using other means.

It could be, you gain some knowledge there actually.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alex.odell.2011:
Thanks mate, I will download the tool kit and have a little look :)

HAHA I did have a little look in your docs sneaky but could only find MTTY and im not confortable with that after you reviews :)

Thanks though guys I would give thanks but I have none left :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
Well my good heathen friend I should thank you then.

Just know that when you do a Task29 it will wipe everything. NAND, recovery, and MGLDR or CLK. The Toolkit comes with install od MGLDR and CLK I believe. I could be wrong on the CLK though. It also has a button to install a older CWM recovery. Like 4.0 I think. I installed my own recovery and did my partition that way then flashed over 4EXT.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
There's a guide in my Sig on how to wipe everything using the recovery. Thats very easy and complete.

back to work... cyas
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
Thought you were off on Sundays.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Sorry guys, but why is everyone fixated on doing a clean install of magldr/clk etc just for a change of ROM. If you can still boot to magldr/clk and select CWM then there is no need to do this. It is just a waste of time. I know I'll probably be flamed but I just have to state this for the last time - all you need to do to flash another ROM is to do a factory reset. This does everything you need. I have long since lost count on the number of devices I have flashed without a problem. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
i totally agree with you
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
One of the elders get flamed pfffff please. That won't happen. Would be blatant disrespect.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
in my dreams i am always off on sundays but life has it that there is people to look after on sundays too. clients dont have a suspend function. just like all the cry babies here :D

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

see, thats a perfect example of how we trust our own experience more than other peoples experiences...

i've had a few too many bad installs and figured there must have been leftovers from previous installs as a hard reset doesnt do a wipe, just resets file tables (i.e quick format) so data structures remain intact and i am always suspicious that this might cause hiccups in the worst case. i might be wrong but until now noone has proven the opposite.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
Best medicine for clients is a swift uppercut to the chin.

I have to admit my first install of Dans ROM I had a few bugs after 3 weeks. I did the Task29 and the whole works from scratch.

Then awhile later I flashed v3.7 which for me was constantly crashing my HD2. There I did not Task29 just some formatting and wiping. I went back to v3.6 not doing any Task29 again. Since then this has been nearly problem free.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
:D how about doing a fresh 3.7 again with a proper wipe in between, just to prove my thought right? :D

(sorry, not being entirely serious here, although the idea has something to it, looking at it more closely...)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
well lets see i flashed the rom in my sig at around 4 pm yesterday

since then ive reflashed it 4 times as i had no data and only like 4 other people

said they didnt have data either and others said they did have, so i thought a bad flash and quess what

after flashing it 4 times as well as flashing this rom 3.7 as well as icecream tosti

and tytungs ics rom .just to check wether or not i had data on those other roms

turns out it wasnt a bad flash there was a problem with data on clk

so let me add this to your little cookie jar haven, i did not do any task29 at all and after flashing the data fix and my phone is flying along

ive also read that task29 can eventually start causeing nand issues and bad block issues

so in short doing a task29 is kinda like saying beats audio works on the hd2

which it doesnt its a figment of peoples imagination ..they want it so bad

they actually convince themselves that it works when in the real world it doesnt
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
Ooooooohhhhhhh Sneaky you can be so human at times. HEEHAW

Everytime I flash a ROM I wipe completely everything. All partitions, SD card, reformat and create a new SD-Ext. What I need to do whenever I get around a unlocked computer is do a repartition with the 7/156/7 value.

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 PM ----------

Kas so your saying that you just reflashed CLK to get your data prob working for data?? I have also read that Task29s do create bad blocks in the long run.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
no Xylo made a fix for it
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alex.odell.2011:
I have compensated you with the "Thanks" I promised :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
You young human are too kind. Live well.

---------- Post added at 07:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 AM ----------

Fix for the data or bad blocks??
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
There is no fix for bad blocks. A Bad Block is unrecoverable. A Bad Block is a physically failing Transistor on the chip. It doesn't change state anymore. It cannot even be forcefully revived by using a jTag device.

Some workarounds depending on the device and type of OS you want to use are existing. There is ways to compensate for Bad Blocks.

The default behavior of the Chip is to flag Bad Blocks and then assign spare blocks from a reserved chip area. Every software accessing the Chip will then get redirected when hitting a bad spot. You will normally never notice unless you have literally hundreds or thousands of Bad Blocks and you are using every single megabyte of the chip so it cannot assign enough spare addresses.

This is where Task29 can come in handy as it freshens up the file system after new Bad Blocks have come to surface. The myth about Task29 repairing Bad Blocks (there also is this myth, not only the one stating Task29 actually causes Bad Blocks) is based on this. It is rather useless for Bad Blocks that had already been there before the last format/task29 but it can order the filesystem anew when there is new bad spots.

Disclaimer: This is partly what i have read and partly pure hypothesis based on what i understand and know. So do not rely on this information only please.

I am very happily taking corrections in the form of well researched, factual info.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alex.odell.2011:
So is there any real advantage to formating everything and then reinstalling magldr to flash a new rom?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
yes. it is thorough and satisfies superstitious personality traits. :D

with sufficient knowledge of the phone it becomes less important, even unnecessary for most situations.

The full wipe recommendation is mainly meant for beginners to ensure that they don't start off with a mess.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alex.odell.2011:
Good straight answer, so if we are moving from ext4 to clockwork what is the best way to do so?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] KelArth:
Hello.

This rom is perfect for daily driver - some minor glitches that we can live with. ICS is just around the corner so are there any plans to fix camcorder for GB or should we whate for ICS + sense4.0 ?

Thanks for great work it seams that HD2 will live for .... ever :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
not sure haven't done it yet. i'd first try to flash it over the existing as it is smaller i think (should fit) and if that doesn't work reflash the whole thing with the DAF flasher. I think for flashing one over the other there must be flashable zips on the forums. if you don't find any try rom manager. it can do it too.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] SagaPer:
Minor glitches? What kind of glitches do you mean? The term glitches is mostly used for gliches in graphics. There is no glitches in the graphics in this rom as far as I know. Do you refer to missing wi-fi hotspot and video recording? These problems is kernel related (this rom is using marc's kernel 0.2.0).
[HD2 Android NAND Development] KelArth:
glitches - bugs:

1. try to setup new alarm- set days, music, time and hit done.

No go You need to choise music -hit done go back choise days hit done. If You check previous version this bug is there.

2. Tasks - how to add google accout ? works for me only once thru exchange after that not working.

3. Some times lock screen is not working. After screen off hit any button and You have home screen. To activate lock screen You need to go to settings choise egz. pattern and then choice normal lock screen to have it back.

4. For me mounting sdcard to pc throu usb cable is not always working - after pluging no screen to select sd mount or only charge.

5. Some times wallpaper is changed to sense default the same for some notifications whidout any reason.

All of this tested after full wipe of nand and sd - fresh install.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alex.odell.2011:
I have none of these, I would suggest you do a full format in EXT recovery, then re-download V3.7 as it may be corrupt and flash my friend :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
KelArth

I agree with Alex O in I have none of these probs as well.

You just have a bad flash. Redo and try again. Did you follow all the instructions??

What size partition did you make??

Did you do a SD-Ext??

What recovery are you using??

What size and class SD Card are you using??

Are you coming from a different ROM to this one??
[HD2 Android NAND Development] KelArth:
It's not my first flash - always checked crc sum for rom and always full wipe for nand and sd and always set nand layout to recomended by dev.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
@KelArth

Then i'll give you my standard last-resort hint: might be bad compatibility of your SD Card. I had plenty of this myself in the past, trying to either use a mustang 16gb class 10 or a samsung 16gb class 10. One supposedly being a cheapo, the other one a goodie - hear say and amazon reviews... all bs if you ask me.

end of story: going back to my 8gb samsung class 6 fixed most of this. So ever since when i read about these "i cannot save this, this and that setting" i recommend trying another, slower sd card.

It is not a definite, reproducable solution but sometimes it does the trick. Worth a try anyway.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] r_i_x:
weird but i also did not experience these things...

the only not perfectly working thing on me is the wifi hotspot and camcorder yes its kernel related...

rest is smooth and fast although sometimes i experience a bit lag because of my bad sd card :cool:

...maybe its on the download or installation thing you did? or some apps that you use? just maybe...

:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
That's why I asked about his SD card. I have a PNY SD card that is a class 6 but it's not reliable and gives me probs. Now my SanDisk class 4 gets the job done. Nuff said. Prost!! <<(that's for you Sneaks)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rockfreak:
very pleased with this rom been using for over a month now without a single problem. But today all of sudden touchscreen stopped working! the weird thing is if i hold down the Back button the screen works without any problems ! ...any idea how to fix this ???

thanks in advance
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
How old is your HD2?? Happens to me every so often. I just tap my end key to sleep my device then wake it up next and voila its good to rock again.

Could be your digitizer broham. Have you done a search on this board for the touchscreen drivers??
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Funny, i have been writing about this at least 2 times within the last 50 pages. I will gladly write it up again though. A little thanks would be appreciated ;)

The Button Band of the HD2 has a major Problem: since the End-Key is the one used most often, it degrades most. Now it happens, that it sits close to the digitizer connections. At some point, the button begins to mess with the digitizer. It will get worse over time and at some point the digitizer might permanently fail. The best solution is, to find an app that completely replaces the End-Key functions and leave it alone.

Other than that, there is some guides and ideas on how to fix this problem. I have no link available but it can be found on the HD2 Forums. In my MediaFire folder are two videos for disassembling and assembling the HD2. Official training videos. Just in case you'd want to open the device and fix it yourself.

While i have not seen this problem myself yet i have read some solutions. It is fixable if the device can be opened.

Hello everyone. I am using TBD v3.7 EU maglrd. I wanted to take pictures but i can't. A message saying that "unable to save file to SD card due to insufficient file permissions". It was alright a few days back. Hope someone can help me out with this problem. Thanks!

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Guys, i got meself a HTC One S for 300 Bucks just now. Will be fetching it from that dude around 2pm and be back home around 4pm, then i will sing a Hallelujah for HTC, test the phone, will let you know how cool it is, then sell it on ebay again for more. The man who sells it has no idea about the current price it being sold on ebay currently haha.

I really like the descriptions of the One S, it appeals to me much more than the One X as it has a better body, an Amoled screen and 4G And it's way not as expensive... I am really interested if i can make it connect to other 4G services than T-Mobile's HSPA+ network... Probably needs a different SIM though...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
Actually I'll pay for the shipping and handling and I will test try it on Tmos HSPA network for you. Don't thank me Sneaks it will be my pleasure.

---------- Post added at 05:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 AM ----------

In conjunction with what Sneakyghost mentioned above in the HD2 general board do a search for the button remapper apk. It's easy to find once you enter the search parameters.

Download install and find the End Call option move it to Call. Then the Call button move it to Sleep. This reverses the green and red buttons on your device. Sense will reboot for the changes to take place.

If you made a mistake button remapper can be Undone to reverse it.

I use it and have not had a problem at all.

ICS

so as the ICS kernel is released when will our developers (dansta34,Dunc001 and Sneakyghost ) who made super great roms for us start developing an ICS sense 4 rom?!

Going to be awhile haus. Everyone is busy and a couple have moved on to try the HTC One. Still I'm sure there is something on the horizon. When, who knows.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
As much as i like being addressed as contributor to the ROM, i sadly must admit that i am not. Thank you for the Compliments. I am just a guy who moves about the forums of the devices he is using, sharing what he knows and annoying some people every now and again.

Hi MentalityX

I noticed you are running the xxxpatch kernel, can i ask how it has been and does i really offer a solution to a working wifi hotspot?

Ehlow my good man. We joined XDA almost same time but you don't post man. You lurk in the background yes??

Yes the wifi hotspot works without an app to access it. More good changes are to come in the near future.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] plantechbartyn:
yep , I'm a lurker, could you put up a link to the xxxpatchxxx kernel, the only thing i really need to work on this great rom is native wifi hotspot, I have 2 hd2 1 x eu 3g, 1 x eu telstra next g, so i can try any old thing really, i have just installed paranoid on my test hd2, works great, but as the "real" hd2 is my work phone im thinking i need to stay with sense to have easy syncing of both contacts and calender. ps thanks for the quick response ;-)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mentalityx:
Wish I could man. I asked the boss if I could throw up a link. He said still in testing and the wifi hotspot is not complete just yet. When the phone goes to sleep the wifi turns off. He said be patient. Right now the blokes are working on increased Zram, tweaking the build.prop again and a few other changes. This kernel is all about zoom. Also I would not feel right releasing someone else's work without the teams blessing.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] plantechbartyn:
sounds like the right thing to do, im in no hurry, my contract finishes up in july and im tossing up whether to go for the basic plan with data or get a new phone thrown in for an extra 10/15 bux, I just cant throw away the hd2 with android on it, I really dont need a much better camera, have used the video maybe 3 times in 2 years so what do i really achieve with a new phone???
