H_Rocky, please describe more, is it a fresh install or install over the previous ROM? If on previous ROM, which one and what all steps are you following? Please browse previous 3 page where many people have mentioned and validated the correct way to flash it over the previous ROM.

If fresh install, what all steps are you using? Try increasing the partition a little bit say 220 and then 250 if nothing works. Try installing MAGLDR once again as Tytung has mentioned in his previous post.

Arzin, I guess you didn't see the last line he has mentioned.

He already has 200 MB partition which is more than enough unless he has bad blocks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] arzin:
Yea oops i missed that line..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NYLimited:
I suppose the correct answer depends are what you have installed and what you are about to install. For example, if you are going from a CM7 ROM to a CM9 a clean install may be a nice touch.

On the other hand I went from a Typhoon CM7 ROM to another Tytung ROM to this one and never did a clean install. When going from 2.4 to 2.5 I made some changes to the zip file (added a few things and removed a few, added my ad2sd script, etc.) and just flashed. No wipe, no anything. It is working just fine.

As far as the Dalvik is concerned, contrary to popular belief, you do not need to wipe the Dalvik cache when upgrading between CM9 versions. Your new version will automatically rebuild the Dalvik (which is why the first boot takes much longer).

You only need to wipe if you are doing a major upgrade, switching to a different ROM entirely, or attempting to fix bugs caused by bad backups, 3rd party mods, or corrupt app data. Makes life a little easier.

The two things I never miss, however, are a complete CWM Recovery backup and a Titanium Backup before any upgrade. Should anything go wrong I can return to where I started within minutes.

:D

I have no idea if this is the problem but have you tried to download the ROM zip file again? Or check the MD5 on it? If it doesn't run either as an upgrade or as a clean install and you have a 200 mb partition which worked fine before maybe you have a damaged download.. Dunno, just a guess.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] H_Rocky:
The procedure was as follows:

1. Clean Install - using HD2 Toolkit I set repartition 200/5. I even tried 230/5. Then I recorded using Recovery v2.5-5.0.2.6. Phone not boot.

2. I uploaded the same procedure v2.4 + tytung_HWA_r3.2. It works without problem.

3. I tried to flash upgrade to v2.5 with the same result - no boot.

Yes, I tried the MD5 checksum. It's okay.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ladarasse:
Many thanks to you tytung. :good:

After flashing your Gingerbread last year, I migrate to ICS 2.4 last month with 3.2 kernel. You make a very good job it's amazing !

Flashing v2.5 yesterday without any problems : CWM backup -> Flash -> reboot -> CWM advanced restore data -> Reboot twice for link2sd mouting and recovering ext-sd -> Everything works (just lost a clock widget...)

OK, I know i'm lucky... but I always see posts from other people that say it's not working, etc. and I want to inform everybody that it's possible to flash this rom successfully and without big bugs !

Anyway my first impressions on this new version are :

- it's smoother and faster than the previous version (as a lot of people says)

- Battery life seems to be increased : about 1% for an hour this night with all features on (geolocation / data / wifi / bluetooth)

Still have sometimes some lockscreen picture refresh problem (bad pixels at the bottom right of the screen in place of the animated unlock button) but it's very insignificant !

Great rom tytung !!!

Is there a reason why I can no longer customise the notification power bar in v2.5 and v2.4? It has worked for me previously - but I am now unable to change the buttons or the order of the notification power widget. When I change it in the settings, nothing actually changes. Furthermore, it was possible to customise the sound modes (i.e. be able to make the 'sound' icon change your ring mode from general-silent-vibrate to general-vibrate-vibrate+ring etc).. however I cannot see this option now either.

Is there a way to restore the ability to customise the power bar or is there an alternative I should really be looking at?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wearefree:
Just tried on my phone, the customization works fine. Try a clean install instead.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] MarkAtHome:
I, personally, do not see the merit in creating something that can be flashed, along the lines you describe. It would require constant maintenance, as the apps get updated, and you would also need to be vigilant to ensure paid apps are not included.

Instead, you could create a new thread detailing how to add/remove apps to an existing ROM, and describe what choices you made and why.

____________________
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Lincoln357:
Thanks for your explanation,I will do it like you said in the future.

However,since I don't use many apps,I used to do a fresh install whenever I flashed roms with full wipe without any backups.Flashing and redownloading apps (via PC) never took more than 30 mins.I started upgrading without wipe since I'm using this particular rom and first time I wanted to upgrade I red somewhere to wipe cache and dalvik cache.So I did it,it went without problems and I simply did it every time.Now I see that isn't mandatory so I won't do it again :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ric69:
Hi all,

1st Thanks Tytung for your awesome work :)

I'm testing this rom since 2 days with Link2sd ... all works great but I have some lags (2/3s) when I close some apps (Gmail, Contact, Tapatalk or Galery) I tried to enable/disable "kill back button" that was the same, then increase CPU to 1190Mhz but lags are still there. (Should I say I tried Bologna's rom too and it's the same :o)

Do you have those lags too ? Witch config do you use in Performance ? (dithering/16bits ?)

Thanks in advance

[HD2 Android NAND Development] arzin:
Mark would u like to try the rom out before i post anything so that it will give me a confirmation that its not only my phone reacting in such a manner. Once u confirm its fast enough i will write a thread as u described.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MM2forever:
I also tried to update from 2.4 to 2.5

I cleared the Dalvic Cache and installed the zip from SD Card. (Aka Updating, not full wipe)

When the phone boots, the apps are getting optimized every time. Number of apps being optimized is not the same every time.

Also, numerous apps keep crashing after the start, like calendar, music player, link2sd and almost everything...

I tried to fix permissions. Didnt work.

Note that Im using Link2SD.

Changed back to 2.4 with a CWM backup to keep mobile until i get a solution.

PLZ HELP :confused:

BTW: Have to say that its a great ROM series! Everyone involved please keep up the good work! :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Salvestro:
Can i upgrade from 2.4 with a2sd script installed?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nigi73:
Of course that you can, but how will it end? Back up in cmw and try.Some ppl succeed,some not. I gave up on ext with ICS

By moving some apps to SD with system settings I can fit in EU device all the necessary apps and some more.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] walts:
Actually, isn't it simply a matter of removing the unwanted apps from the zip file before flashing? So everyone can have their own "custom" mod using only winzip or equivalent! Just don't come whining to the community when things don't work because you've deleted something essential :(

After all, the spirit of these forums is

experimentation

, isn't it?

Walt
[HD2 Android NAND Development] w0nz3r:
Arzin, you can open a thread with the explanation of all the apps, libs, files in general that are in a rom.zip.

If you do it, anyone can, from his self, create a custom zip.

Is not a good idea to customize an existing rom and create a new thread...

I just downloaded v2.5 and i can't seem to get the Notification light to work. Any suggestions?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] adell_:
You can but it might fail. You should back up first then flash the ROM and flash the script.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] destind027:
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I tried your idea - did a full wipe and restore and still have the same problem. Just to clarify - did you change your settings through settings - system - notification drawer? also, are you able to change the options for the sound icon in the notification drawer as this option is not available to me?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] arizmin:
Installed yesterday, work very well initially, smoother than 2.4, all good including battery drain (<1%/hr standby), camera gives sharper image than other ICS ROMs.. anyway, starting this afternoon, few my apps started to FC including Play Store..reboot few times still the same... I'm on Eu, no other script just use stock functions to move some apps to SD...seems not just me only..??

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Lincoln357:
After 24h of heavy usage,I can tell that this rom is pretty smooth and stable,has a better battery life and I noticed that the lag when opening phone and messaging app,which was significant ,is pretty reduced.Everything is a notch above than in previous roms,and everything works fine.Again ,excellent work,Tytung!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NYLimited:
If you can do it, a clean install can seldom get you into trouble. It does return the device to a nice, "clean" state. One thing that comes to mind is updates to apps which we all install that take up extra space (don't forget that in order to be able to uninstall updates Android must keep the original and at least one update on the device). Starting clean each time is a nice luxury to have when you can do it quickly.

In my case, I have too many apps installed and configured and the process would take quite a long time. I am jealous! :)

With all due respect, what you described is standard procedure for me. I always remove some things from the zip (I have a list of apps and files that I do not personally need) and add some things to it (have another list of apps that I prefer to install in /system). The process takes me some 5 minutes or so before moving a modified zip file to the phone.

As you said, some of the changes I make are for the sake of a slight speed improvement. Others simply for efficiency. However, I prefer to have my own list and make my own changes to the published ROM zip file for a number of reasons. As one example, I place SuperSU in the system partition which I use instead of SuperUser. Since I have the registered, Pro version, even if you were to place the app in your zip it would be the free version which I would have to replace again.

I am not suggesting that your mods are bad but they likely are different from mine so your changed zip file would be of little use to me personally.

Someone else may see it differently. Don't know.

I do not know Link2SD so cannot actually help you but your problem is with Link2SD somewhere. If you are seeing the optimizing message the ROM is seeing "changes" from boot to boot - that is a change previously made is somehow lost. Most likely this has to do something with some Link2SD issue which needs to be corrected although I cannot tell you what that is since I do not use it.

Perhaps this can put you on the right track.

The simple answer, in most cases, is NO.

Most scripts are installed to the /etc/init.d folder which is

cleared and replaced

during an update. As a result your script is lost.

The more complicated answer is PROBABLY if you place your script in the correct place in the ROM zip file *before* running the update process. I do this pretty much every time I update without any problems.

I DO recommend having a CWM Recovery and Titanium backup before doing it, just in case. :cool:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] laehtis:
just flashed,

so far awesome smoothness and fast. thanks a lot!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tytung:
File /data/misc/bluetoothd/<device MAC>/config is created by the phone automatically.

You will have the same config file unmodified when you upgrade this ROM because I won't touch your /data space.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pavlis42:
Hi, the same behaviour for me. Have you fixed it? thx
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tytung:
If you just add and remove some apps, I think it's better not to release a new ROM because everyone can zip/unzip it easily.

Edit META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script if you want to create a flashable file. You can search "updater-script" for more info.

If you still have questions that cannot be discussed in public, feel free to PM me.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] tytung:
MAGLDR or cLK?

If you got this problem in cLK, you may consider switching to MAGLDR.

Bootloader cLK uses a wrapper lib to provide the mobile data support and may have connection trouble.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] MM2forever:
I thought that it's about link2sd also... But there are apps crashing like com.android.phone.... which I definately didn't move to the ext partition.

Is Link2SD affecting it anyways?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Lincoln357:
Read the OP more carefully ,you need at least 170mb partition.Mine is 175mb and never had a single problem.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Nazbir:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Lincoln357:
Back on Galaxy S had a bunch of apps on it until one day I decided to remove all unnecessary apps which left me with total of 8 apps I'm really using :D So I decided to keep it that way.I try some apps occasionally but I rarely keep them unless I really need them,especially now with tiny internal memory on HD2.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NYLimited:
Your boot partition should be the size of the files which are copied there plus 2 mb.

Keep in mind that the files change occasionally - bigger or smaller.

If you look in the v2.5 zip file you will note that the 2 files add up to 3067874 bytes or a little more than 3 mb. If you allow for 2 additional mb that will put you a little over the 5 mb you allocated.

Your boot partition might also have a bad block or two.

Try to increase the partition size to 6 or 7 or 8 or ? mb and re-flash. It may fix your problem.

I would also update to more current version of recovery although that has little to do with your boot problem.

Upgrade Q

Ok 2.4 was my first install so 2.5 will be my first upgrade. After studying the forums i came up with 2 questions

1) In the main post is stated under the installation section:

•Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache while upgrading from an old version and wanting to retain data

Answer in FAQ 1.12 states:

The easiest way to update is to do a backup in CWR (always do a backup) and then flash your ROM (and if you use cLK, the kernel). There is no need to wipe ANYTHING.

So do i need to wipe Davlik or not. Is it mandatory or just a good practice?

2) I'm using Link2SD. It the apps faq there are detailed instruction in how to relink apps after a rom upgrade in the normal case and in the case of a davlik wipe. The question that was risen is the following

What happen to the apps upgraded in the rom like google apps, youtube etc when you have moved them to sd? Does the rom upgrade the there or it recreates new instances? What happens when you relink? Will you have 2 instances of the same up or the move will upgrade the files?

Is it a good practice to move them internall for the upgrade? and then back to SD?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Lincoln357:
As far as upgrade goes,there's no need to wipe dalvik since the rom rebuilds it after flashing (thanks to ny_limited :D )

I'm using Link2SD too and after flashing/upgrading it says it needs to recreate mount scripts by click on that option or by a quick reboot,either works fine for me.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] GtaSpider:
Hey,

Got a issue with internal storge. Installed Link2SD and put all apps on SD. have 25mb free now, but i am not able to install i.e. Facebook, marekt says its too big (not enough space on your device). Any idea how to fix this?

It's really still doing it for me. It seeds the phone number field with +447 for a UK mobile number, so maybe it's a UK-only thing?

On another PC now after clicking 'regular download' it appears with a full-page red outline with an x at the top right, and clicking that takes me back to let me select 'regular download' again. Second time around it works without requiring a mobile number.

Still, more mirrors will be better, and I will avoid depositfiles until they get rid of it completely.

Thanks.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] MM2forever:
I forgot: I upgraded from 2.3 to 2.4 with already using Link2SD back then, and it worked like a charm.

Now from 2.4 to 2.5 everything (mainly system internal apps) keeps crashing. So I'm not sure if it really has something to do with Link2SD. Link2SD recreates the mount script and I have access to all the apps on the ext partitions.

I did a clean install just to try, and it works of course, but i want to retain all apps and data by doing an upgrade. But maybe i have to bite that apple and intall everything up from clean.
