That is the very Same Procedure as every year, James. But thanks for pointing it out. You may serve the Chicken now, james. Sir Pomeroy will have the TBD Splash screens though.

;)

Yes unfortunately i keep assuming that people use the same tools as i do and are familiar with many things i consider basic have's and so i thought converting a pic to that size is easy. Sorry i totally didnt think of the windows paint ****. It doesnt give u a pixel-based resize i think

Unfortunately it will NOT work if you do the size any other than 480x800.

There is one thing you could try though if you dont have an editor at hand.

The Tool from POF has parameters for setting the size. ( -w and -h for width and hight) and it will do the right size but you need a picture that is close to that size otherwise the distortion will look bad. Also, i am not even sure if it does a size change or a crop. I never tried it.

I am home soon and i might give the Tutorial a go.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] eddyedwards007:
Cheers Sneaky and thanks for your help.

Windows 7 paint does resize in pixels so I managed that ok but still could not get the tools I downloaded to work, never mind I've deleted them now, that's what they get for not working!

I'm sorted now anyway I've got shut of the O2 splash screen by installing one from Mr Skips splash screens from his page via the RUU, so thanks to him :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
yeah no worries with that mate glad u got it sorted very british mate :D dont invest to much energy in finding out things... been around the english nature a lot in the past years i know how you guys tick ;)

Well mate i am very disappointed you didn't take my splash screens i will sit here and cry now.

But on the other hand i am very happy i don't need to look into the tut thing now i can be with the wife a little.

SideNote: from what i see downloads of the themed ROM dont go as strong. 500 from my and patensas mirrors by now, cant see dans fileswap stats and cant see the other two links stats (zombie's link and that other guy i dont recall the nick).
[HD2 Android NAND Development] eddyedwards007:
Sorry mate :D

I've checked your splash screens and I see they are .rar files I need them as .nbh files coz it's the only way I know how to flash them, and I wouldn't have a clue how to convert them if that can be done, now get back to your wife:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
You are a funny guy my man! why don't you just unpack that archive and have a look whats inside? :D

.rar is from the Program WinRAR which is an archive-program like zip, 7zip or whatever. Unpack them and inside you find ur nbh files.

By the way: RAR is by far the most used archive file on the internet and by not knowing it you admit that you really have very little knowledge about todays internet. That is a big call to go and learn some basics. Which u are already up to as you mentioned earlier :D

sorry i am a bit in a bad mood as there is already someone else from this thread nagging me for spoon-fed bits of information so basic that i dont understand how someone like that can possibly find food...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] eddyedwards007:
Cheeky bugger:D I'm not that basic I know what a .rar file is:D I just wasn't thinking straight, I'll take it that's your German sense of humor ;)

That's the nicaties out of the way so I might just go and check what's inside your .rar files:D

Hi people,,

I'm using 3.4 since the release (torrent Download) and its amazing!!

I havent found any problem yet.

Thanks Dan.

I'm also using a 8|150|8 partition and i have 5mb internal storage left so that's good. so i got about 25mb extra apps storrage extra. i'm happy wit these settings.

no one can send me that file ? i edited few lines from my "/system/build.prop" and i have no backup
[HD2 Android NAND Development] radar-a:
First, I'd like to thanks Dansta34 for Your great rom. It's like 21 years old whiskey - smooth and fast ;):D. I found something interested maybe You could use it in Your rom.

Good Job!!!

Please ignore my posts, I bit the bullet and went for it, booted, just waiting to get going!!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Thanks for linking this. Looks fairly intersting to me...

@Dansta34

Dan, do look into this. I didn't understand much of it as i havent gotten much of an idea about the whole mounting aspect (neither in windows nor in linux) but it sounds like a real improvement.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
hey sneaky thanks for all the info about making the splash screens

i was using a very very old tut to make them and found a 3 step way to do it now

maybe i will have to make a lot of them and post them up

now the big question

whats the best upload site to use now that doesnt cost money
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Rapidshare.

It gets a lot of hate nowadays because they took away the possibility to earn money or free accounts with warez, but it still has amazing servers. I know of NO server that is capable to serve my line to its max appart from Rapidshare. They have amazing Bandwidth and their web interface is mostly bug-free, not lagged or in any other way severed.

Apart from that, i use MediaFire, which has a file size limit of only 200 so its a bit inconvenient for ROM's but it has vastly improved over the past years ( it was close to be shut down because they hadnt had any money but now someone invested and the site is back up grant). It has a super file manager system, works well on FF and on Opera too... so thats my favorite, not for speed tho :D

I also use 4Shared which is slow but has a working FTP upload so i can drop my **** with FileZilla there which is always faster than web-uploading.

box.net is great for collaboration but them are greedy basterds and charge as soon as you try to get advanced features. And the filesize limit is somewhat idiotic for free users.

Kameirus, i am beginning to upload all theme-files i have sorted by ROM-Release version to THIS FOLDER now for you to take. The Problem is, i am pretty sure i got all files but i wouldn't know for definite, so you'll probably need to dl it all and just check and recreate from my order into your own order.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] yoinjo:
Well WIFI is not working for me either. I can turn it on and off, but I don't find any networks. I also cannot log to my home network.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Splash Screen

i have added my old splash screen guide as PDF to the TBD Docs in my Signature now.

Maybe its usefull for some. I also take corrections and ideas. I am always interested in Improvements.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dansta34:
That is the stock apk and has been in all the stock roms!

There is already a Arabic keyboard in the rom!

First the correct recovery size is in the post of the rom that recovery size you are refering to is a recovery from a old rom!

You usb issue is not rom related!

And yes i no about the search function issue and i will fix it!

Yes ill pm you with my address lol

That is a very old post i will get carl to remove it,the correct recovery size will be found on the post of the rom !Look for the download link and info found in the latest rom download section!

Thanks mate and i will look into it!

Odd not a common issue as your the second person!When was the last time you had working wifi on previous versions or other roms!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jimbaou:
Thanks,

I did as you say: clean the caches and completely reformat the SD-Card. Just copied back MyDoc folder and the ROM zip file on the SD-Card. An re-installed the ROM.

But I still have the same strange behaviour: the ROM works great during 2 days after installation, and suddenly it begins to reboot randomly about 4 times a day. I cannot relate it to an installed program or a configuration change.

I have a TMOUS HD2.

I have the same behaviour with all the android ROMs I have tried on my HD2. I do not think it is a hardware issue, otherwise it would not wait for two days after ROM installation.

If anyone can help me, I will be very happy. Currently, my HD2 is unusable.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wry007:
Where is the Installation Guide ?????
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NYSEAN1:
I too have had same problem with phone rebooting...Most/all of the NAND CM7 roms I installed had that issue with phone rebooting by itself all day..even MIUI roms too...I thought it is my phone...but then I went back to WM6.5 and tried SD versions...never had that problem. I realized it must the NAND roms I was using...honestly all of them with Gingerbread and CM7 I tried had same issue. Desires roms did not...therefore I am currently using Sensation roms and I tried almost all of them...the problem never appeared. In short, I think your phone is just fine. Try this rom with proper procedure, and you will be fine.

If you tried this rom already with proper procedure and the problem persists, I strongly recommend that you go back to windows 6.5 by flashing stock rom....then follow the procedure again for android installation...it worked for me not on one but two HD2 phones :) Good luck!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] siakhan:
I have installed the themed 3.5.

After 24 hours,battery bar shows great!

thank you so much for your great work!

i have a suggestion,can u replace or add Perfect_Keyboard in your next release?

it has arabic alphabet + persians!

good luck!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jimbaou:
Thanks nysean1.

I'll try to go back to WM 6.5 and then Android again.

And then I'll buy a Galaxy if it still does not work.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dansta34:
Look on the OP for sneakyghosts guide! then on the rom download link is the rest of the info you need!

I can do!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tiggerw:
Hey dansta! keep up the good work :) When will come the stock 3.5 ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alex.odell.2011:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] dansta34:
Well mate i was going to have it uploaded this morning but i had a major setback trying to work out the issue why the contacts search was not working and it took me from 9am to 5pm to finally work out the issue! So now i am re testing the rom and adjusting some mods cause from fixing the issue i had to loose some mods so i am trying a few different things to be able to keep the mods! So i have to hold off,i will finish it tonight and upload but i will post the link in the morning!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
To be honest, i would think of two possible causes:

1: Bad Blocks. You would never know of them unless you checked with MTTY, "Info 8" or "Task 29" commands. Please check my documents on how to.

The only thing i know for sure is, that allthough the NAND Controller is supposed to handle (skip and replace) bad blocks independently, Android still seems to suffer from them more than WinMo does. Symptoms include but are not limited to, sudden reboots.

2: The device was not cleaned properly from last install, simply because the questionable subject, the guy you where answering to, has not gotten sufficient knowledge on where android stores its fragmented information bits and pieces. Looking at this aspect, Android is a *****. This Cause could be overcome by flashing WinMo because the RUU wipes the full chip, it does task 29, 28, even task 2a is executed i think. Its fully cleaned anyhow.

The RUU doesn't look after the SD Card though. That still has to be cleaned. And if it has an SD-Ext Partition it would be vital to clean that partition too as it contains huge parts of the previous ROM.

To do so, simply run the 4EXT Recovery from Dansta and choose Format all (except SD Card) which takes care of a full Wipe of the Operating System Partitions on NAND and also cleans the SD-EXT. I wasn't sure whether it works correct but after numerous tests i am fairly sure it does. This is the most easy and fast way to clean up everything! Flashing WinMo not required. Well. As i don't know what the RUU does exactly it could still make a difference yet i dont think so. It does replace Radio and splash for sure if the Chip has an older version. But thats not important.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] steliosk:
I have the same issue with contacts search on themed 3.5 version also!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alex.odell.2011:
What will be new, I only flashed V3.4 Yesterday :rolleyes:

Can I flash throught "Update ZIP" in EXT4 Recovery or clean flash after format???
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Downloads roughly above 500 for Themed 3.5 from the stats i can access.

Alex Odell, you need to do a clean flash. Flashing over the old is not recommended.

Flash Update.zip doesn't work on this ROM anyhow.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alex.odell.2011:
Thanks Sneaky :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dansta34:
No you can not flash through update zip and there will be a few different changes and things fixed and added! fixed data and reception for clk fixed ase swap scripts to enable swap on or off for people who want to test if swap dose make a difference better ram managment and tweaks for some people having issues with freezing from bad sd cards some mods added to the initrd and will have better performance and speed over all !

No one has to update the rom if your happy with the version your on than stick with it but if there is a issue you have and it has been fixed in the new version then flash it or if you want the latest tweaks and fixes and you dont mind flashing then flash it!

To me this is all about pushing the phone further and further and pulling mods off never done before for the HD2 and fixing issues along the way,and keeping all the flashaholics happy lol

To some i can imagine it would be anoying but to the others this is what they wait for!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NYSEAN1:
I was so close to getting another phone because of the reboot issue and thinking that I went bad...every time I needed to use the phone I found it on booting...so frustrated. I did every thing from task29...to blah blah blah noting helped. Only thing worked is flashing it back to winmo...That tells you that winmo certainly cleans up/fixes the problem created by android...I too suggest using 4EXT(thanks to the creator) as recovery and checking partition alignment and errror check...if possible repartition although these were not required for me...4EXT works flawlessly...I have been using it for 3 month and with many rom installations and even without task29 I have no issues....honestly I am little skeptical about task29 altogether....If the phone has issues with android..then one should just go back to winmo stock and do android again and that's all. WinMo certainly cleans up all the mess to start over...btw I am not really a developer of that sort...but I after playing to with hd2 and android roms for three years...I sure like to act to like one lolllll
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NYSEAN1:
Patiently waiting for stock...I installed themed 3.5 but appears lil buggy to me :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] spookymo:
it would be really helpful to specify "lil buggy"

v3.5 message widget

don´t forget:

the messagewidget doesn´t function

when i choose the widget i got FC ant then back to homescreen

-> i put the com.htc.htcmsgwidgets3d.apk from v3.4 to v3.5 and everything works fine
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Right you wanted me to add that fix to the download and information section...

forgot about it. Sorry. I also read Danstas reply to you. That widget you took for replacement is the Stock Widget, so you lose the theming on it. Still, it is a reasonable fix if you want to use that widget.

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------

With a post like that mate, it is very hard to help you. I cant even tell if you are on the right thread like this. Why don't you set up a signature which then tells your phone and software in each post? So i can see what you got?

Like, are you running the latest 3.5 Themed release on a HD2 phone? is it US or EU?

Assuming, that you are talking about the EU version and the 3.5 Themed Release i can only say that i have not read anyone else reporting GPS issues and as such i assume that you had a bad flash and try reflashing the ROM. See if that helps.

Make sure you wipe everything clean before you do so.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
I updated the original release post (page 978) and the themed-only post (page 1025) with some additional information. I also put your suggestion, but i noted that it is the Stock Message Widget you took so people know its not the themed. Obviously, you took it from the unthemed ROM but maybe people are not aware that it was one of the themed apk's in the themed ROM!

I also added MD5 verification information from gusuraman (thank you, Sir!) to rapidshare, uploaded and 4shared.

I also fixed the freakshare link but i am downloading from it now to verify MD5 and i am only getting 30 kbyte/sec so this mirror is crap i guess. Will not use it next time.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] vonstarr:
Hey Dan, will you be posting the fixed themed message widget?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] zulwik:
I'm Sorry my bad ;)

I have Team Blue Droid V3.4 Sensation xl Gen3 EU Stock version with clk.

Im flashing two time and same problem. But thanks and I m try again testing GPS. ;)

By the way, How works this rom with this Kernel ?? DORIMANX Kernel 4.3 Linux 2.6.32.55 OC 96/1.62 CFS. Check someone?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
OK mate i cannot recall if there was others having this but as CLK tends to have issues with Data and also Wifi at times its not unlikely it also encounters difficulties with GPS. I am sure Dan has more info on this at hand but he went to sleep about an hour ago so you will have to wait until tomorrow before he can answer this.

Maybe someone else can answer it too. Just hang in there. Sorry.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] zulwik:
Okay thanks ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ahlok_hk:
I guess it's becoz of the non-exist ntp server at /system/etc/gps.conf:

NTP_SERVER=eu.pool.ntp.org <--- host not exist

try the following:

NTP_SERVER=us.pool.ntp.org
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sneakyghost:
Hahaha i read that non-exist post earlier in this thread but thought it meant the line is missing from the config. So i checked the config but it was there so i thought that post was bull****.

Now i understand. Checked the eu-host with the ping in cmd and it doesnt respond, while de.pool.ntp.org does...

learned something again. Thanks. Dan should then update that ghost-host in the next release. Its crap like that. Bet he didn't know either! :D

yes this is the procedure but keep in mind that v1.0.8 has gps connection problems. and especially when u use it with 3g data connection the problems are wierd.

It's not pc...I had that issue too. It disconnects by itself Earlier version does not do that. I had to reinstall earlier version. No prob with that.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] SagaPer:
Did you search the thread? I think your question was answered here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21843082&postcount=9561

EDIT: By the way: why do you want to use another kernel? This ROM is so smooth and fast already and the author (Dansta34) supports the use of Marc's kernel fully. But of course, you are free to test the ROM with that kernel. But then, you have to know what you are doing (understand what is ROM issues and what is kernel issues).

[HD2 Android NAND Development] chrisrj28:
Word of caution though, when you use faster fix it replaces your gps.conf with a stock one that is missing edits made to improve GPS use. After using fasterfix GPS will turn on during first use but will not turn off and on again without a reboot.

@Chris:

Forgot about that.

HowTo change the gps.conf on the installed ROM:

connect the phone to the PC

start DROID Explorer

pull the gps.conf from \system\etc to the PC

open it with an advanced text editor that doesn't mess up the format

edit the first line where it says "eu.pool.ntp.org", change eu to "europe" or "north-america" if you will.

click save

push it back to the device using DROID Explorer.

If you are familiar with adb you can use that in commandline too.

read into NTP servers: http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers

These servers are merely time synchronization servers. The most important thing is to get a connection to them at all, so any life url will do. This is, because the ntp DNS system will pick a geographically close server automatically according to that website.
