I appreciate this. This sounds correct. With my other Galaxy, Optimus, Evo and Sensation phones when a update comes for a ROM you just save your apps in Titanium make a backup in Recovery then wipe the Dalvik cache, cache and battery stats. Then flash the ROM reboot and the phone still has all your saved settings and apps.

I know this phone is originally a WinMo and certain things need to be wiped. But like Dansta install instructions indicate the partition settings are the same as v3.6. I just didn't understand why I need to do a Task29, reload MGLDR and my partition, flash 4ext, redo my memory card then finally flash the new update. Lot to do every few weeks. Just wanting to know why.

In Titanium it says I have 130mb free of 290mb in System ROM, for internal space I have 504mb free of 666mb, SD space 307mb free of 6.61gb and a2SD have 252mb free of 1.05 gb with a total of 96 apps installed. Phone runs flawless with a great battery life.

There is absolutely no need to do any of these actions unless you have had some serious problems installing a ROM which I never have. Had a couple of SD Card failures but that is another issue.

Something you may not be aware of and that I have been playing with is another method of including all of your apps and any updates as part of the initial installation. We all know it can be a pain when you install a ROM only to find that some of the apps immediately need to be updated which can be time consuming. A simple way of avoiding this and also including your own apps within the ROM is to follow these steps:

1. Use Total Commander to navigate to /sd-ext/app.

2. Use Total Commander to copy all files within the app folder to another folder on your sd card.

3. Copy the folder to your PC.

(The above steps can also be achieved by using QtADB on your PC which may be easier for some)

4. Now check each app listed and identify which ones are actually updates to apps that are part of the original ROM zip contained in either /parts1/app_s/ or data/app of the zip. The updates will have a different name (generally starting with com.) but will also contain the original identifier. For example:

com.android.vending-1.apk is the latest Google Play Market apk. This can be renamed vending.apk and copied across to the zip folder /parts1/app_s to replace the one contained in there.

Repeat the above for each update you identify.

5. Once you have identified all of the latest apk versions of apps originally contained in the ROM zip, you will be left with the apps that you have installed yourself. These can then be copied to the data/apps folder without renaming.

You now have a ROM zip with all of your apps included. All that remains is for you to flash it. Once the flash is complete, you only need to use Titanium Backup to restore any data associated with the apps.

I know it sounds a bit long winded but once you have done this a couple of times, you can keep a backup of all of your installed apps and updates on your PC ready to include on any future releases from Dan.

thanks but ill pass since its a ripoff from google and full of ads
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Google Play Updates

When you update an application via the store, it is possible that your are losing memory needlessly. The reason for this is twofold:

1. A "temporary" file is created, as I understand it from Duncan, to allow app2sd to move the update to the sd-ext. This file is called Download.apk and can be found in /cache/download. It is generally the size of the last updated apk. For some reason, it is not deleted once the app is moved. So once you have completed updating your apps, you should delete this file.

2. A Dalvik cache entry is created for each update installed (after all, they are "new" apks). Unfortunately, the original entry is retained. This means that your Dalvik cache will eventually become bloated with unnecessary data. The easiest way to remove the original entries (and it seems to work for me) is to use Titanium Backup. Select More from the Titanium menu, then select "Clean up the Dalvik cache". Titanium will identify redundant entries and delete them thus reducing the size of the cache.

Hope you find the above useful. :D

Hello mentality,

Justin case you took that idea from my docs (I feel guilty already lol!):

My docs ain't complete, an update procedure is missing from there as there never was real support for updates from dan's side. And concerning the need for all those steps that aren't needed: there hardly ever is a flash that equals another. There always is some individual fact to consider. I actually believe that new users start off with all steps and with learning and understanding the process and the ROM in question and at some point everyone will decide to leave out our alter any or all steps. I hardly ever follow my recommended routine these days... :D

Guys, just to let you know, some component of my PC died on me yesterday and prevents it from booting. I am currently testing with a super old machine to see if I can id the faulty prick (suspect my x-fi or pci-controller on mainboard).

So I won't stick around much at the moment.

But I see even though Dan hardly ever appears, some of you guys do a fantastic job at answering questions and although I was never asked to do that I feel kind of responsible by now after having been here for quite a while, answering questions.

Good morning Sneakyghost,

how are you?

I'll try to be around. Maybe i can be of help in some stuff.

Concerning the flashing docs i am with you.

I think the best shot is to describe each step from scratch on.

This is more comprehensible, and even gives the change to step into a certain point of progress.

Regards, Stephan
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
I'm good, thanks. Hope, you're good too! :-D

My PC seems not though. Everything is hinting at a defective controller on board. Which means: new board, ram and CPU as I'm still on an old AM2 platform and thus need to replace more than just the board. That sucks because I'm rather broke.

I might setup a Paypal button lol.

Did I earn your money with my support here? Unfortunately, no. Dan needs your help more, guys. So, no Paypal for me :-(

Also, I will leave Android for good if Cotulla manages to fix a few majors in his WP7 soon. So, that doesn't mean I'll drop my support here, but it will limit it to some extend then.

Back to work... :D

Gteetings

1. I do need to say that my knowledge of Android and it's components has become quite good. I've been flashing since July 2010 when I bought my first HD2. Since then I'm on my 5th HD2. I just keep buying them because of the constant support and how impressed I am with this device. A couple months ago I did away with my Galaxy S2. That is a fine device but I just wanted a new HD2. I luv the research, reading and the challenge I find to learn how to do what and understand the components of this device.

My Sensation was a slight challenge only when it came to installing the new firmware update. My LG was easy and standard. But those phones were all to easy to Root, install a ROM and update them. Throuout all my phones the community here on XDA have been immense. The HD2 support and community have been a few notches above and well beyond excellent.

I understand so much when I read and flash, and even when I help other mates with problems that I feel confident more times than not. Thanks for the help and support and my small education in Android.

2. My laptop and PC are both down so I know the feeling. I have not flashed my phone yet to v3.7 yet. I feel a little nervous to flash in case something goes wrong since I did not do a Task29 and reparations and then I can't access my backups. I'm pretty confident though things will go smooth as can be.

I don't mind helping people on here as well. Just want to keep up the support on here. Thanks everyone.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Nemesis1278:
For some reason when I installed the rom was very slow on the sense side. When using menu from android it seemed to go faster but anything to do with sense went slow. I was unable to use the CWM provided so I used one from CMYLXGO and used the recommended settings. I was using the Tmous version. Maybe I will try the Euro if it is stated that it is faster.

So now I am back to Dungs' Runnymede. I tried adjusting OC Daemon but nothing there worked and Super V6 charger did not work either.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] AngelDeath:
Again, take into account that EU Users will have no choice but to use the SD-EXT because of the limit of their nands. Also taken into account SD Class plays a role in write speeds. And can you point me to an app that actually test write speeds of 95mb? Because that sounds more like a spec sheet value, not a real world value.

And no making an ext isnt going to make a card faster, but as everyone knows from a computer if you read and write to the same drive its slower then reading from one drive and writing to another.

Again the Class of the card will make difference in read and write speeds, try a cache of 2048 and see if it improves.

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

dansta34,

Also you and carl should look into if possible the data folder either being on an ext partition or on the sdcard (without an ext partition) is faster. Because I remember reading somewhere (forgot where) that one is actually slower then the other in reads and writes (dont hold me to this) but I think ext is slower then normal sd, but some bench marking both would be something to do as i dont know of any ext testing apps.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] chrisrj28:
I also wanted to see if anyone is using Flash 11, when I try to play a browser video it just closes the browser. Does anyone else have this problem? I know the flash 10.1 apk was posted earlier and I was wondering if that is why?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
I tested Flash 11 on my EU build and couldn't get Flash video to work properly. What I ended up doing was to replace the included Flash 10.3 with 10.1.106.1 in the zip and can now play flash video in browser correctly. Don't know why there are problems with later versions of Flash but it is well documented that lots of people suffer problems, this going back to Froyo days and the initial release of 10.3.

If you don't want to replace files within the ROM but do want to try 10.1, uninstall the update first and then remove 10.3 using Titanium Backup and flash 10.1. Hope this helps. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] caribe:
pls the rom is very slow and i notice glitches what do i do or remove
[HD2 Android NAND Development] chrisrj28:
Yeah I may just try that, I remember 10.1 was ok, 10.2 was a lot better and 10.3 had issues but it was fixed on some roms. Oh well :rolleyes:

Thanks

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------

Please provide more information, your steps to install, Eur or Tmous, a2sd?

The glitches are a Sense 3+ issue that every rom has. There is a fix by Haldric (search graphics fix with his name) but it may make the rom run even slower.

That will work if you aren't using an sd-ext. If you are using an sd-ext then you will effectively be installing the EU ROM which can go as low as 7/147/7 (what I have set at). ;)

For SD-EXT I have 281.3mb free of 1gband SD-EXT I have 232.9mb free out of 257mb. I was a rookie at doing this so I made a extra one. Does this harm my phone to where I have to redo my partition again before I update.

DalvikMover

Hi mates,

i've added a feature to DalvikMover which lets you move dalvik cache in both directions multiple times - without any reboots and FC's :)

So DalvikMover becomes more flexible and it takes at most 45 seconds to switch between dalvik cache locations.

Sandymac and me are still doing tests on this main feature, but i think it is almost finished.

I try to provide a beta release this friday.

Although this looks like a technically interesting challenge, i could not really find out, what this is good for. Does your Company use EAP-SIM? Aren't the usual authentication techniques (WPA2 etc.) enough for us and our purposes?

Would you mind enlightening me? I am interested in what this is useful for!

Thanks mate.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alex.odell.2011:
EAP-SIM

Extensible Authentication Protocol Method for GSM Subscriber Identity Module, or EAP-SIM, is an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) mechanism for authentication and session key distribution using the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) from the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). EAP-SIM is described in RFC 4186 .

GSM cellular networks use a subscriber identity module (SIM) card to carry out user authentication. EAP-SIM use a SIM authentication algorithm between the client and an Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) server providing mutual authentication between the client and the network.

In EAP-SIM the communication between the SIM card and the Authentication Centre (AuC) replaces the need for a pre-established password between the client and the AAA server.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Well, it is a very interesting setup you have. As I understand it, what you have done is set up 2 sd-ext partitions and a partition of 7/277/7. Not sure what impact having 2 sd-ext partitions has. Dan's installation process will check to see if you have an sd-ext available and, if you do, then it will effectively install the EU setup which means that Dalvik cache and all apps will reside on the SD Card. This is what you appear to have now. The result of your setup means that you are wasting internal memory (130Mb of system ROM).

In order to help, I will set out what I think your options are:

Option 1- leave everything as is and flash 3.7 after doing a "factory reset/wipe data" via CWM. You will still have wasted memory etc but it will work. Once you have reflashed, you could use Brush2's DalvikMover to move Dalvik back to NAND which will help improve the overall speed of your device. There should be plenty of space to do this (504Mb of internal space). My only concern would be the impact of having 2 sd-ext partitions. You would need to look at each to see what is on them. I might be able to advise further.

Option 2 - If you wish to continue to keep your apps on the sd card then you should wipe your sd card and re-create a single sd-ext (for whatever size you need or think appropriate). You will obviously need to backup the contents of your sd card before doing this. You should also do a factory reset via CWM. Once you have done this and copied the zip file to your sd card, you should then create a new internal partition of 7/156/7 (I am being cautious here as I use 7/147/7) and flash the zip in the normal way. No need to do a task29 or reflash magldr etc. This will leave you with an EU install where both Dalvik cache and your apps will reside in the sd-ext. Again, you can use Brush2's Dalvikmover to move the Dalvik back to internal memory (/data).

Option 3 - If you want to have dalvik cache and all apps on the phones internal memory, then you should reformat your SD card but DO NOT create an sd-ext. You can keep the same partition of 7/277/7 that you currently have so all you need to do now is copy the zip file to the SD card, do a factory reset via CWM and flash the zip. The install process will detect that no sd-ext exists and therefore install the TMOUS setup. You should still have sufficient memory to restore all of your apps to the devices memory.

In all of the above options, ALWAYS backup your apps/data before proceeding.

I hope that the above makes sense and helps. If you still have questions then please post. ;)

If I have missed something then I'm sure someone will point this out.....
