About the class 10 not being necessarily faster than class 4, I have used it with other roms without a single glitch, worked flawlessly all the time, so I would exclude that.

On the other hand, I too have the 512 version, so it might be that. Either that, or the a2sd script that I use

Like I said, I have been using it with no problem at all and indeed it was faster. When I bought it, i was still using SD builds, and it really increased the responsiveness of android at that time. So, again, I wouldn't blame the card

Would this help???

Saw this new thread this morning:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1403859

about a leaked ICS ROM for the Sensation. Everything works, including the camera. Would there be any clues in there on how to write the camera driver for the HD2?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Hi,

I've just benchmarked the different SD cards I have at hand, and the result is strange... I've tested the cards in both a HD2 and an Asus TF101 Transformer eeePad to see how they behaved on different Android devices.

The HD2 is running a fresh install of ICS beta 7, the Asus is running Android 3.2.1 (Revolver 3.9.5 ROM, overclocked at 1.5 GHz).

The benchmarking was done with Antutu Benchmark v2.5 (only SD card IO) on both devices, SD cache set to 0 (SD speed increase checked before and after each test).

Lexar 32Gb class 10 :

- HD2 : 2.5Mb/s write / 3.0Mb/s read

- Asus Transformer : 23.8Mb/s write / 3.7Mb/s read

Kingston 16Gb class 10 :

- HD2 : 3.3Mb/s write / 3.1Mb/s read

- Asus Transformer : 17.9Mb/s write / 3.3Mb/s read

SanDisk 8Gb class 6 :

- HD2 : 10.4Mb/s write / 4.5Mb/s read

- Asus Transformer : 26.4Mb/s write / 3.6Mb/s read

Transcend 32Gb class 4 :

- HD2 : 2.7Mb/s write / 2.8Mb/s read (tested on NexusHD2 GB v3.2a)

- Asus Transformer : 22.0Mb/s write / 3.5Mb/s read

My conclusions :

The SanDisk, the best performer in the HD2, is my selected testing card, so it will stay with ICS and my testing HD2.

I will continue using the Transcend on my daily HD2, since it works just fine for me, and I can use the extra space, I just hoped to get a little extra speed out of the Lexar, but I lost that bet :mad:

I will be using the Lexar in my TF101, since it performs well in it, even though I don't need the extra space there, the TF101 already has 32Gb internal memory, but at least I won't have thrown away 50€ completely ;)

It is just that I now am stuck with the Kingston 16Gb without any use for it... I'm sure I'll be finding some use for it any time soon ;)

But my conclusion for the HD2 stands, max. class 6 and stick with the leader, buy SanDisk :cool:

On the other, I find it very impressing that the transcend class 4 performs almost just as good as the Lexar class 10 in the TF101 ... as if those classes don't actually mean that much :confused: Looks to me as if Transcend make also excellent cards, this one is not my first, and I have always been happy with them.

I had to find out the hard way, though...

JP.

PS: Noticed that Android 3 and 4 seem to have a dynamic SD-card cache setting, it changes when you insert a new sd-card, so SD speed increase makes little sense, since everytime a card is inserted, cache size will be changed (and SD speed increase won't adapt it, it does it only on reboot).
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Hi,

I'm getting to a very similar impression, faster cards than class 6 do not make sense on the HD2, they are rather counterproductive.

I just don't understand why, I would have expected the HD2 to be the bottleneck, thus using a very fast card should ensure to always be at the edge of the HD2's speed. But this is a very wrong assumption as I found out :(

BTW, my 2 HD2s are also 512. Do you think the 1024 has a better build-in card reader ?

JP.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Hi,

Since some xxx2SD seem to perform better than DATA2SD, I was wondering what else than davlik cache and apps in located in "/data" ?

Since it might be worth a try to adapt DATA2SD for this build by symlink'ing what really slows ICS down back from sd-ext to the initial (and after installing DATA2SD unused) last partition in NAND.

Thanx, JP.

I have a T-Mo HD2 but I'm probably not the one to ask...up till about 6 months ago I was running the original 16GB Class 2 that came with it (Sandisk) and never had any issues running SD Builds etc.....I recently upgraded to a noname 32GB and found Magldr couldn't read the dirs on it to boot SD builds so I switched to a Sandisk 32GB Class 4 which is working fine for my purposes and moved the noname over to my HTC Inspire.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] BMXJeff:
Camera?

This thread regarding the production of a camera driver for the HD2 seems to have run dry over the past week.

Obviously this is a time consuming job and involves a little more in-depth knowledge than most of the followers of this thread bear, but it would be a shame for the HD2 to never get camera support.

Does anybody know of any other progress being made?

[HD2 Android NAND Development] walts:
This from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_Class_Rating)

Speed Classes 2, 4, and 6 assert that the card supports the respective number of MB/s as a minimum sustained write speed for a card in a fragmented state. Class 10 asserts that the card supports 10 MB/s as a minimum non-fragmented sequential write speed.[36]

That goes a long way toward explaining the differences for class 6 and below compared with class 10.

that said, if you install android video player by android code monkeys, you can still use the download/view mobile video option when you open the video in the browser, and thereupon, download/stream/play the video on your ics hd2.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
Aha ! Thanx for the link ;)

Well that would explain my results then !

This would actually mean that class 6 is best for random access and that class 10 would only be usable for streaming tasks (sequential access), like recording/playing back HD video, of high resolution pictures.

Hmm ... that would then definately have been 50€ thrown down the drain for me then ...

[HD2 Android NAND Development] clarkg:
Great start...

Very nice first look fo me at ICS on my HD2, thanks very much. Will be good for a daily when the last couple of things are working.

But... a request (if it's not rude, I appreciate the time you put in).

I've always found the workaround for the limited space on our phones (ext3 partition support) a bit messy. This ROM would be great if you could add the data.img support like 3dak uses in his MIUI ROM nand builds. I have that as my daily build at the moment and it works really well. The phone sees it as internal space so there's no need for apps2sd or apps2ext. Yeah, I could wait until MIUI finish their ICS build and extend it to the HD2, then 3day would pick it up and do his build, but your build here has the pure ICS interface (MIUI will undoubtedly customise theirs and it'll be almost unrecognisable). Would data.img file support be a possibility in your ROM?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] daedric:
Let me see if i got this straight:

There's a file, on /sdcard, that is mounted with -o loop as the /data (or any of its subfolders). Correct?

If yes, can you mount your sdcard via usb on a computer ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] googlephone:
Are you ICS? Or you are the brain of ICS? It's so obvious that ics doesn't have the mechanism to determine whether show soft buttons or not. Ics checks and decide hd2 should not have ics even android but our developers made it. IT IS OUR DEVELOPERS WHO DECIDE TO HAVE SOFT BUTTONS OR Not! It is the choice made by tytung. if you dont like it, leave and try other roms without soft buttons.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] hardaysknight:
Whoa bro, You're putting a little too much emotion into this. The argument was whether or not ICS without soft keys was "Pure" ICS. What you said was my whole argument.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Macelangelo77:
Wow, you're really, really sure, aren't you? I could have sworn it is ICS functionality (http://www.theverge.com/2011/10/27/2518221/android-40-hardware-buttons), but apparently your info is right and ours is wrong. So obvious, indeed.

And off course, our respected dev tytung decides what to do with it... If he can make ICS running on our HD2's, he'll probably be able to let the soft buttons do, whatever he wants.

Please stop using Caps Lock. We've heard you. Loud and clearly.

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jamizzal:
been a while for me, i have been on hiatus because of school, but i cannot for the life of me find the links to either check your current system partition, or how to change it. The rom says we need at least 190 i cannot remember what mines is set to at the moment. I changed it over 4 months ago.

we really appreciate your work tytung

i am currently on your 3.2a build its damn good

is there any way you can introduce in the system settings to block sms option in the call settings section,its there in MIUI but i dont like it compared to your pure build so if you could add this feature it would be great in the ics build .

i wish you best of luck in getting the best first stable build out ,i am eagerly awaiting for it .i wish to thank you for your great dedication to this great phone.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dCY:
Thx for the outstanding work you do tytung!!

Personally, i think it is a bit silly to have 2x the same options on your mobile...

The hardware keys and the software keys..

Rather have the hardware keys only.

It feels more like the OS/build is made for the HD2 that way.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] clarkg:
That's pretty much it I suppose. A data.img is mounted where the OS would normally see the data partition. If it's that simple then could I do it myself with a line in one of the init scripts? I always thought that 3dak had done something a lot more clever with his build that supports it...

And yes, there are issues mounting the usb on a pc as with most SD builds. I get round it on my current build with Multi Mount SD from the market.

Well, clarify something here.

I earn money from file hosting websites only if you download files from them. (Clicking ads on those websites is not included.)

However, I earn money from Google ads if you go to my NexusHD2 website.

I think Titanium may be not full compatible with ICS. Or you need a new version.

For example, if you use Superuser v3.0.6, the root access is not working on ICS.

The solution is to use Superuser v3.0.7 which is designed for ICS.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tytung:
The latest N1 AOSP ROM, compiled by texasice, has already remove the softkey.

However I like the softkey personally.

Thus I don't migrate to his latest ROM so far.

I will do it later. And I will try to find out how to enable/disable softkey.

About an hour later I noticed that it was frozen on the lock screen. I could not swipe, the buttons were not working. I did a reset using the reset button and left it on the charger for the night. This morning, when (unsuccessfully) trying to view a YouTube video in the Browser, it did a spontaneous reboot. I captured dmesg to a file, if that's any use to anyone, and then did a cache wipe, Dalvik wipe and Fix permissions.

I'm going off to see what I can learn from/about dmesg :-)

Havent noticed any random reboots yet, did get a random lock screen freeze once, as well as a random shutdown that required a battery pull.

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

Thats it. Everyone using Beta 7 without framework res softkeys has an effective screen resolution of 800 x 480 that swype recognizes, therefore installs without a glitch.

Everyone who loves the soft keys at the bottom end up with an effective screen real estate of 728 x 480 which swype does not work with and installation of swype beta aborts with an error message.

That said, with the appropriate swype apk, like the one i received from helpful members, i have swype fully working on my ics hd2 even though i am using framework res softkeys, image attached on prior posts.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
This is probably normal though, since if you don't use any kind of sd cache modification APP, ICS will auto-set the cache each time you insert another sd-card. By default I noticed a cache size of 1024Kb for a 16-32Gb card, didn't pay attention when I tested the 8Gb card though.

I manually set it to 0 after inserting the card as I wanted to benchmark the actuel card speeds,

without

system cache.

You might give it a try with "SD speed increase". You can uninstall the app afterwards, it only changes the cache size, and that will be constantly overwritten by ICS, so uninstall & sd-card out, then in and you are back to stock behaviour ;)

1. remove your card

2. set cache to 0Kb (slide to 0 than click the red "flash" button)

3. insert the card

4. restart SD speed increase and check the status, it will have changed

--> this proves ICS and Android 3 does autochange this value, whereas GB doesn't.

5. re-set cache to 0Kb

6. run Antutu test

I'd be curious to see the results.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Yank555:
I have just found the time to read the link you posted.

And you hit the nail right on its head, the sentence that kills it all for class 10 :

Speed Classes 2, 4, and 6 assert that the card supports the respective number of MB/s as a minimum

sustained write speed

for a card in a

fragmented

state.

Class 10 asserts that the card supports 10 MB/s as a minimum

non-fragmented sequential write speed

.

This clearly says what it says, up to class 6 the benchmarking is done for random acces, for class 10 it is done for sequential access :(

So best for our use is a class 6 card, I'm afraid :(

It's kind of a big joke, that cost me 50€, knowing that I'd rather have looked for a 32Gb class 6...

[HD2 Android NAND Development] MarkAtHome:
Hi Walt -- I really cannot understand why so many are quoting from such an unreliable source, as Wikipedia.

Note that HD2's, and smartphones in general, do not have a high speed bus.

Methinks the most reliable source would be here:

https://www.sdcard.org/home/ ... ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] CR5N:
Sd speeds are a bit off topic but for my two-penneth, the higher speed, higher capacity cards were introduced for digital video consumer products, ie sequential data. The internal address decoding methods do not lend themselves to fast random access times.
