ext4 data partition is really great, but incredibly slow ...

I did 3 complete Installations of this Mod ... everything working so far ...

1) partitioned 200MB/5MB -> Install w/o SDext ... App/data storage is a "joke" (cause of hardware limitations) ... OS runs very, very fast and smooth!

After flashing, some apps included in the Rom, instantly do a market update, which wastes alot of space, cause of "double-installation" in NAND and /data!

2) I removed some apps from ROM: Google+ / Google Maps / Youtube / Browser and two other ... saving 20MB; re-partioned 180MB/5MB -> flashed w/o problems, installed an "normal" A2SD App ... evrything working fast, however /data Memory is limited but works for me (besides I can't install youtube from market now -> device not compatible)!

3) I tried the flashable A2SD Scrips from the wiki and created a 1GB ext4 Partition on my SD Card (Transcend 16GB Class6 Card), which leaves me with 13,9GB Fat32 and 1GB ext4 ... partitioned Phone back to 200MB/5MB -> Install and WOW! Yeah! 1GB App/data Space (internal Memory) ... looks GREAT!

BUT:

The OS now is sooooo INCREDIBLY slow, it hurts your eyes ... Starting Google latitude first encounters an error with authorisation ... just because it's soooo SLOW. From starting Latitude App until GPS Signal and displaying the Map it's abou 2 to 4 MINUTES (without ext4 /data it's about 2 to 4 SECONDS)

What the heck did I wrong? Any help appreciated!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] camillelfg:
I think this mod does almost the same than data2sd, i.e. everything to ext...

Therefore it's something I should try next time !

I'll tell after the next ROM comes out...

By the way, do you clear cache AND dalvik cache, or just one of the two ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wrathraven:
Have you tried transcend 16gb class 10? i've been used it til now and its work fine... the only thing that stil not fully working is camera :D...

Screen Capture...

I reviewed the Q&A for this thread. Did not find the answer. Does anyone know if the Screen Capture function is working? If so, what is the process?

thanks!

WOW!

I called TMO using 611, and got sent to Tech Support. It took over a half-hour! First she "Refreshed my Location" in their computer, then she questioned me about the dates I had problems, the locations I was in, wanted to know if the SIM card was discolored, wanted the complete history of all the devices I had used the card in, put me on hold to check if this was a known issue with the HD2, asked if the software was up to date (I'm glad she didn't ask WHAT software it was!). :)

Finally she asked for the SIM card serial number, and concluded that it was an obsolete version and needed to be replaced! I'll go to the store tomorrow and pick up a new one.

Oh, BTW, she commented that you should turn WIFI off when using the phone, or you will have trouble with dropped calls! I told her that I had been using WIFI with T-mobile on Blackberry, HTC 8925, and a variety of other phones, all with no problems.

At least she finally approved the upgrade!

[HD2 Android NAND Development] KuZZo:
The wiki says that a class 10 sd card will not grant any benefits ... the recommend class 4 or 6 ...

I used the /data link to ext3 earlier with Android 2.3.7 with the same card; ok - it was a bit slower than without ext3/data but now every thumb-click on any app needs ages to process anything. In most cases a popup appears, that the app is'nt reacting and asks me to do a force close ... but all you have to do is wait ... anything works without error ... it's just taking ages! very strange ...

You start whatsapp ... and it takes about 10 seconds to display the window with the last conversations ... it takes another 10 seconds before you can scroll up or down ... if you click on a persons conversation there pass another 3 to 5 seconds before the window opens ... if you type "hello" there happens nothing vor 2 seconds and then "hello" appears finally ...

without the ext4/data, everything is incredible fast! i already checked the sd card and did a full write / read cycle over the whole card ... no errors and up to 11MB/s read, 8MB/s write ... maybe i really have to try another one, i have no idea what went wrong with my installation ...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MarkAtHome:
I cannot believe the hoops she had you jump through!

Did you pounce on her about the turning off of WiFi? I would have.

No matter. You are getting an updated SIM card for free.

Now, you need to make sure that when you are in the store, you get the newest one available.

You might wish to consider bringing my post about part numbers, etc. Store employees do not necessarily know how to determine which card is the most recent; some use different numbers which are irrelevent. You want them to look at the ZZ code under the barcode and ensure that you have the highest number. This is the part number which increments with each revision.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] UncleManuel:
Hi!

Just installed V1.2 with 250MB/10MB Partition. Got 150MB overall for programs and now 22MB left after installing a few... :D

But I must admit ICS is looking & feeling really good! And in some cases (e.g. the drawer) you'll notice some parts of Honeycomb. Performance is good so far but I have to test some more days... ;)

The fc with panoramic mode of the camera is already mentioned. Here are some things I noticed:

-no wallpaper scrolling on homescreen

-pictures in the gallery are looking dim (a lot darker, than they really are)

-gallery unstable overall (often shows just a black screen, force close)

-lazy rotation (takes approximately half a second till rotating the screen)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] BMXJeff:
That sucks! The main problem I found when researching the Data2SD process was that there are several scripts to choose from X several ROMs to choose from X several different recoveries etc = too many variables to say one method works for all.

What I can do is tell you exactly what worked for me. I retrospectively applied the Data2SD script without having to reinstall a ROM/apps/settings. I am using a class 2 (ha!) 32GB sandisk and it works smoothly and quickly without any bugs.

I made this thread as a walkthrough of what I did, I hope it can help in some way. Notice the specs I am using in my sig. Good luck!

She probably looked at my paltry $100 a year that I spend with them :D

Yes, I informed her that I had been using WIFI together with this SIM for 3 years without problems - in several different devices.

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll print out your post and have it with me. Fortunately I have a good relationship with one of the guys at our local store - he's something of an Android geek himself ;)

Thanks, Mark!

hi tytuny

I use hd2 and i flash your cm1.2 , and i flash Panorama mode on 1/30/2011, now i can not use the Video Camera , i use Video Camera it comes FC,

BUT THE camera is not FC now thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Samsunguy:
lol well i hope you made a CWM backup before you flashed the update :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NYLimited:
Well, this is not very important but I simply walked into the store without calling (although I told him that I called). He said no problem, no charge.

The second time, about two weeks later, another guy wanted to charge me $20 for it (another phone). I told him that last time it was free and he said, OK, free.

I don’t really know what the moral of this story is...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jully3881:
thank you for your respond, I often reflash but not backup becaue i just install qq.apk and input.apk
[HD2 Android NAND Development] maxfusion:
Hi all!

Is there something news about update of this ROM?

原來樓主是臺灣的說 呵呵 等你新版本很久啦 我是大陸的哦 很期待更新哦
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MarkAtHome:
Me, neither.

I think that if you start the exchange by quickly listing all the relevant steps taken, say that this has already been gone over with TMO, just look up my account (check if you like), you are pretty much saying that this has already been diagnosed, please just complete the exchange.

The first time I did this, I hadn't called TMO first, but handled it the same way. When my account was accessed in-store, and no notation was found, I shrugged adding that the rep seemed a bit rushed and might have just inadvertently overlooked that step as he seemed very busy... ;-)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Johangielen:
I'm using this rom for 2 weeks now without any problems till 2 days ago. When I power the screen on, the touchscreen is not responding many times. any idea how to solve this?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mjordan79:
What's your opinion about this rom, guys? Do you think is stable enough for everyday use? I'm stuck with gingerbread and I'm a little bit afraid to change to this rom.

Another question: how much this rom differ from the classical Google experience? What are the main differences?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] yaro666:
I'm using ICS from tytung for almost 2 months without larger issues. It is my everyday rom.

You will be surprised how fast it works.

I won't go back to ginger.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] walts:
Prepaid SIM from T-mobile. 1,000 minutes for $100, good for a year, but unused minutes carry over to the next year. No data. I don't talk much on the phone and use WIFI for data. :D Additional minutes can be bought at any time.

CDMA users can get an even better deal from PagePlus Cellular. 2,000 minutes for $80, can use data but it's very costly.

iCS on my 'Euro HD2' is finally digesting well now

I was very close to giving up after nearly two months of iCS on my (Euro) HD2 as was just too slow, limited memory issues and huge lack of CM features :(

However (as a third time lucky), I decided to use Ubuntu to build the SD card partitions, making a 1Gb Ext4 partition and the remaining 31Gb as standard FAT. Originally I was using Ext3 and honestly didn't think it would make much of a difference, how wrong I was :rolleyes:

I've only installed my absolute essentials, which I had been doing over the past 7 weeks, which still was too much, but still the recent/fresh install (using the above) it's working much better and is far more usable for everyday use :D

My only moans right now is the included CM features are very limited, but those included work very well at least and only it will be only a matter of time before it will include all the features that CM7+ does ;)

The only app I use daily is PowerAmp which no matter what I do, runs strange with random audio glitches (even when up'ing the buffer) or just crashes, even though it still continues to play the playlist/folder :confused: I've emailed the developer, but as usual, no reply in over two weeks.

BUT... nothing else is giving me huge issues, except those that are known to all, such as the Google Gallery which sadly is not working too well and take about three attempts to show anything... and very slowly too :confused:

My typical daily apps: ADWex, Aix Weather, AppBrain App Market, Beautiful Widgets (with it's additions), BikeRoute, Call recorder, Camera Zoom FX, Colorize Widget, DropBox, eBay, ES File Explorer, Handcent (and some additions), LiveView (and 6 plugins), London Tube Status, Make Your Clock, My Tracks, OnLive, OpenWatch, PowerAmp, SBM, Shush!, SMS Backup+, Solar Winds Pro (my live usual wallpaper), Touch Calendar, Voice Alerts 2, WiFi Auto On, XDA and most Google apps (Books, Google+, Latitude, Maps, Nav, Docs, Goggles, Reader and Translate) :)

If you asked me yesterday morning, I'd say stick with GingerBread for a little longer, but... as of last night... I'd recommend iCS ;)

Once you've tasted the enhancments and used the very refreshing look of iCeCreamSandwich... it's very difficult to go back(wards) :cool:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] freionluc:
Well i have 3000 minutes and 3000sms in home network, 100 minutes and 100 sms in other networks for only 8$ per mounth. What do you think about that. And for an 4 $ extra can get unlimited data browsing.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] geenyous:
So, I take it that you have no issues with auto brightness, all works well?

And please don't call it iCS, it reminds me of that crappy, suing all, inventing nothing, tech wannabe but actually marketing fruit company, I just can't remember what it's called... :cool:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] TheCardPlayer:
I am sorry, but a rom that cant play decent videos/utube at least at 25fps On a high end 1Ghz Snapdragon is definitely NOT for every day use and should still be considered a beta.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] UncleManuel:

Some scrolling isn't as smooth as it could be but the overall look & feel of ICS is really cool. Once the little gremlins are sorted out you simply don't want to go back to CM7 or even MIUI... :cool:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] yaro666:

I don't use phone to watch youtube videos, this is pointless. Everyone wants quality, so why watch vids on phone if you have notebook or even tv with internet?

[HD2 Android NAND Development] streetcore:
For those who have problems running PowerAmp on this ROM.

--> Version 1.4 is working without issues.

--> to get tha latest Poweramp working I installed NovaLauncher and removed Trebuchet. Now PowerAmp works without freezes or crashes :)

Edit: also I had to UNINSTALL PowerAmp 1.4 before installing the latest version. Just updating it did not work. Had crashes then..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fazz:

Remove libOmxCore.so, libOmxVdec.so, libOmxVidEnc.so, and libstagefrighthw.so before flashing rapmv78's camera_01302012-signed.zip.

With these changes, you can record a video in software encoding way but the video fps is very low. (Just like v1.2 ROM)

BTW, rapmv78's camera lib supported video hardware encoding, but it's not compatible with HD2 kernel.

PowerAmp 2.05 on iCS 4.0.3 CM9 v1.2

Thanks, but a little confused, as the latest release of PowerAmp is 2.04 http://goo.gl/YuAXP on the Android market and 2.05 http://goo.gl/TghWE unofficially via the PowerAmp website only/currently :confused:

I usually remove CM's Trebuchet only because I use ADWex, but that hasn't made any major difference, but removing 2.04 and installing 2.05 from their website has improved it's performance a lot and now the GUi is just a little slow, but much more usable now... so thanks... sort of :rolleyes: LoL
[HD2 Android NAND Development] geenyous:
Just in case you don't know already, use Quickpic until Gallery is sorted. Link in the wiki.

I had a nice little reply ready when reading this on tapatalk, but since you have actually replied to a question I will leave it as it is.

Btw, youtube videos work flawless when watched in HQ, there are only issues in LQ (whyever) and movies up to 480p are also fine.

Ready for everyday use is not stuff like Youtube imho, but overall stability (no reboots), hw buttons work, phone, sms/mms, data connection stability, all radios (WiFi/GPS/BT), battery drain, camera, speaker, headphones, BT in call and that's about it. Everything else I consider extra or better said, I value having the latest and greatest Android version on our 2 year old phone that used to run wm6.5 more. ;)

The above is all working and my experience is even better than on GB as I always had a drain of ~101mA ever 4-6 minutes when on data, drained my battery in under 10 hours. Now with ICS and the same apps, I can easily go for 18+ hours with good/heavy use (display on ~2hours). Read the wiki to have an overview of what awaits you, and then try it, you won't regret it and with a proper nandroid backup you can go back in no time.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] UncleManuel:

Obviously you are smarter than the average guy and thus have to watch movies at increased speed cause at normal speed you'd get bored.

I know that because films are recorded and played back at a fixed frame rate, traditionally 24fps for theatrical releases and 25fps for European (PAL) TV productions. As you require smooth playback at least at 25fps, you either

a) are so smart you have to watch everything in fast forward (see above)

or

b) are so incredibly stupid you don't even understand the difference between fixed-framerate video playback and variable-framerate "moar fps is better" video games. As you come in here quite bold and explaining to the community what is a beta and what's not this just can't be the case.

DISCLAIMER: I am well aware that YouTube supports US TV-style 29/30fps videos. I just don't think it matters for the argument at hand.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] freionluc:
could it be modified so that it can work on hd2?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] latetogameHD2owner:
installed this today.

thank you.

was wondering about the lock screen app. is there anyway to change the camera app to a different app.

i remember having an ICS that had camera and messaging on it.

anyway to have that?

------------------

also when i open "cyranogenmodsettings" it just has empty tabs called application and there is a -0-

display -1-

input -2-

etc

should there be more then this?

i'm confused about what that is.

thank you in advance

Guardedly optimistic about spontaneous reboots

I got a new SIM from T-Mobile today. Apparently the one I had been using was an old design that was known to cause problems. I've no details on what kind of problems.

After installing the new SIM, I deliberately tried to recreate the circumstances that seem to have been causing my HD2 to reboot - specifically, moving into and out of WIFI coverage (remember I don't have cellular data available). Now, eight hours later, I have not had a single spontaneous reboot. Guardedly optimistic :D

Based on my conversations with T-Mobile technicians, it seems that some time in the last few years, a change was made in the way the SIM interacts with regard to WIFI.

I remember back in the days of the Sharp Zaurus, that there was a setting - I think it was in a wpa_supplicant config file - that defined whether the cellular network or WIFI should be tried first, to establish a data connection. I always left it set on "WIFI only".

Could it be that with the current ROM, if the data request was sent to the cellular network, and the SIM card mishandled the request in some way, this could cause the ROM to reboot? That would be consistent with my observations - the reboots nearly always happen when I move OUT of range of an access point.

Walt

P.S.

I don't want to get too far off topic here, but referring to the previous conversation with MarkAtHome, the tech in the T-Mobile store was very helpful, gave me a lot of information, and said that the very first thing they look at when a phone (especially a smartphone) comes in for repair, is to see if the SIM card needs to be updated. When I mentioned that some people had been charged $9.99 for a new SIM card, they speculated that it might have been a franchise, rather than a company-owned store. At the store in Delray Beach, they never charge for updating a SIM card.
