There has been a lot of talk on the 2sdext scripts, and I have seen more than once that it was strictly NOT advised to flash ROM, kernel and 2sdext in one go as it will create a bootloop. Why this is true I don't understand, as it should be the same as copying the script before flashing, no other files are in the flashable zip :confused:

But anyhow, this might have confused most of the users.

With upgrading from b10 I have too copied the (unmodified) script into the zip before flashing (just like I do with my gps.conf) and have no real issues. Had the low sound bug before when I was installing - rebooting - rebooting - installing script - rebooting - sign in to google and restore backup - rebooting, but even then a short fix permissions always did the trick.

Maybe tytung should mention this in the first post ("copy the script from the zip to system/etc/init.d before flashing") and only put up one link to amarullz' script?

EDIT: Hmm, after reading the last few post this might not be too good of an idea...?

adaway does the same thing and is open source. There has been some concerns with adfree as for the last several releases he has NOT provided a change log and since this app has root access people would like to know what has changed. Adaway also makes it easy to add your own personal blocks which get merged in.

Hi tytung

Is there a progress on update
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MarkAtHome:
Thanks, but I have already looked into that, but do intend to revisit it.

The problem is that the card to which you linked is a microSDXC card, not a microSDHC card.

SDXC devices are backward compatible, but microSDXC cards will only work in SDXC devices utilizing exFAT. Here's the breakdown:

SDXC memory cards must only with SDXC devices.

SDXC devices can use SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards.

SDHC memory cards can be used with SDHC and SDXC devices.

SDHC devices can use both SD and SDHC memory cards.

SD devices can only use SD memory cards.

The question is whether reformatting the SDXC card to FAT32 will, for all intensive purposes, change the card into an SDHC card, retaining its larger size, and work in our phones.

Sandisk does not support anything close to this (understandable), but I am not interested in what they support, only if it works.

Update: I just bought one as I think it will work when formatted to FAT32, rather than Microsoft's proprietary exFAT. If not, I'll return it.

Uh oh... confusion ahead... installed BeyondPod and I can confirm that I DO have loclscreen control's... you havent been editing bould.prop or anything have you? Or when you're restoring datra could you be carrying bad stuff accross? Maybe make a Nandroid of your current setup, then do a full wipe and reinstall, then install it straight away without restoring anything. All though I'm sure you've tried this and it hasn't worked..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Onecton:
I can verify that, but to be honest, the eye candy of the ICS Rom is far superior to any other Rom, in my opinion,

i tried Doriomanx High-End, but i my case the experience was compared to the NexusHD2 really crappy, the overall skin was bad, and in my case i could install Apps.

So for the Hardware Specs of the HD2 and keep in mind that it was released in 2009 i think it performs quite well with ICS if u can live with the occasional lags and quirks :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ppzoid:
Yes, been there done that. :confused: I really don't get it. Must be something really obvious.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] techsc:
With ics from this rom i have better performance than ever.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mjordan79:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] NYLimited:
Are you crazy? Don't format the card! Update the card slot on your phone... :D

Great work on the CM9 ROM! Can't wait to see Qualcomm's Adreno GPU drivers in action! :cool:

Just a short question, does anybody know how to apply my undervoltage values? The "processor voltage" item in performance is broken in the ROM - says "error getting values". Checked

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels

and the values are actually there. Can alter them manually. So far so good, but where to put my script (compare with http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23628792&postcount=2999) for setting the values at boot? I couldn't copy it to /system/etc/init.d/ because system is ro mounted.

Any hint is appreciated!

Keep up the great work, thanks again!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NYLimited:
Just use something like ES File explorer, give it root with SU and you should be able to read, write, edit in the folder.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] MarkAtHome:
While I have already added exFAT support to Win7x64, I never intended to do the first format from within Windows.

The first format will take place via CWR, which will properly reformat from exFAT to FAT32. Then once it has been done, I can redo it with SD Formatter via Windows to control cluster size, etc. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MarkAtHome:
Attached is Tyween's

flashable

VDD settings. Use them, or open the zip and modify it to reflect your choices.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MarkAtHome:
When referencing the FAQ, always keep in mind that YMMV.

I have 600+ apps, the phone is smooth as silk, has not displayed most of the issues others have experienced, and to me, Tytung's ICS ROM appears faster than the ROMs I have tried prior to ICS.

This difference might simply mean that you are missing something in your setup that is causing your device to appear slower.

I know that I do not know what is going on, except that whatever I am doing is working for me. You believe that you know the above to be true. Curious.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] famewolf:
Is there any documentation on how to grab tytung's git and build the rom if you prefer to build from source? Additionally I'd like to pull the V1.04 source base and not the current 1.05.

Thanks to anyone who can point me in right direction.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mpdt:
Humor me: Where is the file in the .zip so i can copy/paste it to my ROM?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] famewolf:
The hosts file is located @ /etc/hosts In the zip it may be in system/etc/hosts
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NYLimited:
I don't have an account on github so cannot be certain but I guess https://github.com/tytung might be a good start. You would want to pull his ICS kernel since the last release version used MeDroidMod and he may be pulling / following the CM9 git.

Hello to all. Is it possible to scroll wallpaper with screen? It's already enabled in settings but does not work. There are no photos in favorites only. Plz help.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dubhaltach:
Yes, you can. But as it said in the FAQ you need to install a custom launcher. Try Apex its great, only if you want to be able to drop widgets install it as a system app with the apk using adb push to /system/app/
[HD2 Android NAND Development] XaMaB:
Scrolling wallpaper works fine with default launcher with the latest CM9 builds. I guess we just need to wait for 1.6 here
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dubhaltach:
Whoops, accidentaly hit thanks instead of quote...

Either way it's not CM9 that's the limitation it's actually Trebuchet, if you installed a custom launcher they always worked even before this build.

If you somehow manage to extract the latest trebuchet apk and install that it should work. Even when you tick the option it still doesn't happen..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] walts:
Thanks, Mark. From all the whining that goes on it is good to hear someone make favorable comments about this ROM. While I had a lot of trouble with spontaneous reboots in earlier versions those have by and large gone away, and I am very happy with the ROM.

I tend to think that most of the troubles people have are not with tytung's code at all, but with the stuff they add on afterwards.

Walt
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Damosel:
I'm having the very same problem. I enable start-up tweaks in settings > performance and the tick doesn't stick after leaving the menu.

I notice that when I try to enable start-up tweaks, "system" asks for and receives superuser permissions about every 20 seconds for 5 or 10 minutes.

I'm running v 1.4,I've manually updated Superuser, and I've had this problem since installing the ROM.

Mind you, my intent is to get a bit of speed, and I eagerly been blaming SD card slowness for the lag in doing everything.

Top marks to Tytung for making this happens and helping me stick with the same phone for 3 years!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] acunarro:
The following settings are never stored and reset to 'off' when entering the menu again:

Settings > Performance > Start-Up Tweaks

Can anyone confirm this?

It´s always the same...

Is there a way to get the power button softly along with making them smaller? I feel like there is a setting I've been missing. I've looked on the wiki, searched, etc. to find the answer but have been unsuccessful. any help please?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NYLimited:
SuperUser should kick in each time the application attempts to do something that requires root permission. It (SU) should, however, remember that setting for subsequent requests. This should be an option in the setup. I use SuperSU (not SuperUser) and it does exactly that.

When you say you updated Superuser do you mean from the Market or do you mean "update binary" in superuser itself?

What slowness? :confused: I have been watching the "discussions" on Class 2 vs Class 4 vs Class 10 SD cards for a long time and I have no idea where people get their information from. Class 10 is NOT faster than Class 4 or 6, no matter what the claims are. Period. I have posted on this before - it is

here

for anyone interested. I use a Class 4 32 GB Sandisk card (US$27), with a FAT32 partition (4K clusters), an EXT4 partition and a simple 2K read buffer. This is how a lowly class 4 card performs:

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words. :)

I tried tosti...at least the sd portadroid version...it was very fond of rebooting itself..even if phone was just sitting idle...back to v1.04 of this rom.

Keep in mind 4.0.4 is all new and all "alpha quality" meaning there will be plenty of bugs to stamp out with the new codebase.

Update binary in superuser itself. And with other su requirements it remembers permissions without difficulty.

Do I uninstall Superuser to install SuperSU?

I understand the read/write speed concept as developed in this thread. Before that discussion arose I'd already tried both a class 10 and a class 6 card with no discernable difference. This is why I conclude that this must be a firm/software issue.

I'm observing speed based on ordinary use. In using apps from sd I get a noticeable lag, and frequently get a "wait/kill" dialogue box.

What app are you using to measure read/write speed?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] famewolf:
The problem comes when you have one developer who is doing all of the real new research and coding...then you have others who grab his work, make minor changes and post their new "ultimate edition" rom...or demand copies of his source code without really contributing anything feature wise to the mix. Eventually the developer becomes disillusioned and their motivation to continue development plummets. I speak from experience in the Windows Mobile Rom arena and can't imagine the situation is very different here.

---------- Post added at 04:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 AM ----------

Unfortunately tether is still broken....his workaround is to install clockworkmod tether into the rom which still requires the pc to run an app and doesn't do anything for mac or linux users.

Sadly I think the problem with tether is related to tytung's kernel and since everyone uses it...everyone has the same issue. No one else has done a "clean port" on their own. Tethering is also a low priority to tytung as he personally doesn't use it which means I'm stuck running gingerbread in nand and trying new things out using SD versions of roms. I don't blame tytung or anyone else for it....it's just the current state of affairs we find ourselves in.

Market is slow to impossible

Hello every one.

First thing first: I love my HD2, all the more so since I found this thread and this ICS rom.

I have now two gripes, which I think have been mentioned already but not solved.

1: when I go to settings, performance, all settings work and stick, EXCEPT the startup tweaks: can do whatever I want there, all settings are lost when I leave the page (and yes, system has the SU rights, as the message that pops up clearly states several times)

I'm using superSU but it was the same with standard superuser.

I even tried to set the default to "grant" with no results.

This definitely looks like a bug to me.

2 for some time now I'm experiencing slow to impossible downloads from the market.

I'm using LCD density modder pro tweaked market, but I had the same with the stock market. I think the problem may have appeared when google went to "play store" (#@!#" google for that useless crap btw)

I'm pretty sure it doesn't come from my connection: problem exactly the same with wifi and 3G. I think I can rule out a server problem as my wife's phone updates perfectly at the same time/location.

All other apps access the internet without any problem.

Most times the download is slow to start (if it even starts) and never ends, or rather ends with an error from process android.process.media

I had some luck with rebooting + clearing dalvik and cache + deleting market data and retrying, but only for the smallest sized programs and I can't be sure this wasn't simply coincidental.

I tried to get new apps (not updates) no luck there either

I'm pretty annoyed right now by this, especially the second problem: not being able to download from the market is really crap... I mean: what is android without the market ?

Anyone out there experiencing this ? Any hint to a fix ?

Thanks !

My config is Rom 1.5 with app2sd 1Gb ext4 on a class 4 SD

First thing, I'am very happy about this nice ROM. Thank you very much TYTUNG.

Google Play Store 3.5.16 (06/04) crash

A few hours ago, I had Google Play Store process crashing without any user action, and crashing when trying to load it.

I suspected the crash was cased by an update, and I think it was the case.

As I can't post links yet, use google : "google playstore 3.5.16".

If it can help someone, this how I think I solve it :

I messed arround and ended up losing even the Google Play Store icon, with the app still installed :confused:

To resolve this, i had to :

- uninstall all Google Play Store Update (in System Parameters / Application / Google Play Store)

- delete Google Play Store data in the same screen

- install the latest apk (using google to find it ;))

- then reboot in recovery to launch "Advanced/Fix Permissions"

- and finally reboot

Maybe a "Fix Permissions" alone would suffice, if the icon is still visible.

Not sure at all with all of this, but if someone is in the same situation, trying this should not break it more :p

And thanks Tytung for this rom. My Hd2 is like a Phoenix : i'm feeling like having a brand new phone again :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dubhaltach:
Can you go to your app drawer, tap and hold on playstore (in the drawer not the tab at the top, then drag it to app info. Then clear the cache and the data, reboot, and try again. If that doesn't work try the same for the google framework (MAnage app>all). Then, if that doesn't work try relinking your g account. Does installing from http://market.android.com on your computer work?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tarbault:
Ok, I think I'll answer that one myself !

"Read the F***** FAQ, stupid !"

Amarullz script links /data to the sd-ext partition on SD card, but leaves the dalvik-cache as well as some system apps on the internal data partition (called /sd-ext in apps like DiskUsage).

BEWARE: This may cause Market to fail to download or update with possible FC of android.process.media and/or others, as dalvik-cache grows with the number of apps installed and as soon as it covers 90% of your internal data partition, Market will fail. For your reference, if you have a 200mb / 5mb cache system partition, you are left with ~203mb of internal data on an EU HD2. After you install roughly 140 apps (with around 20 games) and a size of ~750mb, your dalvik-cache may grow up to 190mb and further installs or updates are no longer possible.

So I tried to delete two or three apps, rebooted end wiped cache and dalvik, and updates started to work again (I'm around 130/140 apps, some of them rather big)

I'm not using Amarullz script, but 40ad2sdx-a2Recovery, but I guess that since the workaround is good, the problem might just be the same...

There I am, then... I guess reading the FAQ once in a while never hurts.

Problem two explained (if not really solved).

I think i'll play around with others scripts next time I have to upgrade my rom.

1.6 anyone ? (No, just kidding: awesome work Tytung !! Many thanks to you and all those who made this possible).

A suivre...

First of all thankyou for this great rom, only have 1 thing: compass does not work for me on google maps..

Is there any fix to solve the compass problem on google maps?

Also sygic doesn't works, the application starts but don't show maps or anything.. i think that can be related to graphic driver

is there any program for gps navigation that works on ics? (with compass and offline maps)

[HD2 Android NAND Development] xjjk:
Unfortunately for me, I didn't have the partition set up correctly on my sd card and I thought if I left the swap file set to 0 it would leave the existing data alone when I did it through CWM. N00b mistake I know... wiped all my data off the sd card. On the plus side, it's a clean install. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tarbault:
I use copilot 9 for the road and Locus Pro for off road, both work really nice and both have offline mode.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NYLimited:
Leave Superuser installed and install SuperSU if you want to try it. After installing it, launch SuperSU and (in settigns) tap update (or it may do it automatically, I forget). It will download and replace the binary called SU which is usually stored in the /xbin folder. At this point you can uninstall Superuser safely. The only disadvantage to this is that each time you update the ROM it will reinstall Superuser and worse, place the Superuser SU binary in xbin so you have to do this with each update.

I actually place these files in the .ZIP file before installing a new ROM so I won't have to think about them later.

Ah, I see. A few things come to mind here. I don't mean to make this a long one but don't know how else to explain it. :)

First, I find that a cleanly formatted EXT4 partition responds better. I use Amarull's (modified) script to move all apps, data and Dalvik to the card. The lag from the ext4 partition is nearly invisible.

This gives me a lot of internal memory to install apps and data. BUT, it does not change the device's working memory - the memory where apps are loaded. If/when this memory goes down too far (say, below 80 MB) the OS will have to flush something out of memory before loading a large app and this takes time. This can often yield "not responding" dialogs while the swap takes plae.

I have not found any way to completely eliminate this but more agressive memory management can keep more memory available more often. There are many ways to set it (I use ROM Toolkit) but Android's Auto Memory Manager can control and improve this to an extent.

There are likely are many but I happen to use

this one

to measure and ROM Toolkit to set it.
