Could please anybody explain how to install this on a SD version of ICS? I've tried to copy and click two apk files in this archive but it says certificate conflict. And I don't think this is the right way to install it.
[HD2 Android SD Development] tytung:
NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA-SD_v2.4.7z.

File initrd.gz was changed. Please test if it works or not.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Hi tytung, 2.4 initrd.gz does not work booting from wm6.5, just hangs.

2.2 initrd.gz does not work either....

Edit; 2.1 boots ok

Edit 2; phone feels hot and wifi is not connecting, waiting for google restore to finish so i can post a logcat via terminal
[HD2 Android SD Development] secaplus:

Trying to boot from Magldr but it doesn't boot. I got black screen after first HTC screen (green letters).

[HD2 Android SD Development] Shaeen:
confirm that. got the same problem
[HD2 Android SD Development] dimdimdim:
try init from PA?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Have attached logcat of tytung 2.4 with 2.1 initrd.gz while attempting to connect wifi, hope it helps.

Will give it a go.

Edit; wow wifi and data working, have attached PA 1.5 SD initrd.gz

Nice one dimdimdim

Edit2; Just noticed that tytung has linked to this post for download of initrd.gz file.

Please use the one found at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28104868&postcount=1217 it is made for this build and works well (don't forget to click on boonbing's and tytung's thanks buttons)

[HD2 Android SD Development] tytung:
Wifi interface was changed from eth0 to wlan0, so old initrd.gz will break wifi.

For SD rom: :good:
[HD2 Android SD Development] enigma1nz:
I got 2.4 booted with the new initrd.gz. Had some initial sluggishness and FCs, still get a few, but the ROM mostly works fine, Wi-fi etc also works. Basically the same performance as Paranoid. Tested the new kernel - works so far, will know more in a few hours.

Softkeys

Hi,

it's possible to have the softkeys on SD version like the NAND version?

thank you

;-)

regards
[HD2 Android SD Development] fOxunO:
as usual , you can added 'qemu.hw.softkeys=0' in build.prop
[HD2 Android SD Development] fOxunO:
sorry , edit to mainkeys.
[HD2 Android SD Development] prexda:
While charging the LED lights red. Its ok.After full charging (100% on status bar) LED is still red. Should not be green?
[HD2 Android SD Development] enigma1nz:
After countlessly going back and forth between various builds and versions that failed to perform as a stable keeper OS, I decided to stick to my true and trusted NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-SD_v1.4. It performed the best for me, everything worked and I was happy with the speed. The only thing I changed was the LCD density, because I was quite partial to the way Paranoid looked and I think it looks sharper now (or I am just kidding myself).

I have full faith in Tytung's ability to wow us all with some amazing ICS version very soon, I come back to his ROMs every time, so would like to say HUGE thanks.
[HD2 Android SD Development] boonbing:
New initrd.gz

Can someone help to test the attached "initrd.gz" to see if it can boot successfully with latest v2.4 ROM?

@ tytung: It seems that init.htcleo.rc is missing in the below 2 lines which cause SD boot to hang at black screen.

chmod 0777 /dev/kgsl-3d0
chmod 0777 /dev/genlock
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
It boots (green htc screen,then tiles bootanim), then get "android is upgrading", then "system process not responding" then "simcard added reboot phone"

after reboot its a bit laggy and hanging

Would you like a logcat?

Thanks boonbing

Edit; attached logcat, this is through terminal emulator and not of the initial boot up, but hope it helps

weird.

Good Bye.
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
This kernel and the initr.gz posted by boonbing are working perfectly with the latest rom 2.4. Thank you Tytung, akrrka, Boonbing and the rest of the crew.

But just to confirm I did this right, I placed the Root folder in the ICS folder and after the first boot it was renamed to Root_tmp which I deleted after that first boot. Please confirm I did the right thing. Sorry I have been out of rom flashing game for a while but I am back with a bang. I am dual booting this rom with WP7 Tango via Magldr. Thx :highfive:

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

Did you replace the initrd.gz file with the one linked to as advised in the first page? You could also replace with Boonbing's initrd.gz file attached a few posts back......
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Sounds right to me.

If you get the kernel from here http://code.google.com/p/nexus-hd2/downloads/list?q=label:ICS+label:Kernel follow tytung's instructions here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26415897&postcount=1028
[HD2 Android SD Development] PlayStation:
Thanks Robbie for the link. What I did looks ok save that I had the Meta-inf folder in the root folder too. But nothing seems broken thus so far so good.

Hey I remember you as a user of ACA rom before ICS came into the scene. Now I see you are cooking roms too! Good work and all the best :cowboy:

Btw has there been any progress with Jelly Bean for the Leo. This is pure greed on my part coz I am still exploring the goodies in ICS..... :p

I posted it on the wrong thread
[HD2 Android SD Development] TruePlaya:
I downloaded new version 2.4, upgraded kernel to 3.2 from link, replaced initrd.gz, extracted empty data.ext4 --> system boots but is unusable then. After entering pin code screen goes bod. No way getting it on again, had to reset. Tried 2 times from scratch both with same result.

Booting from haret.

What is strange to me: After booting there was no "Android" folder created. V2.3 uses Android folder, could this be an issue?

I dont have any swap partition or whatsoever on my sd card. Just plain 32GB FAT32...

Any idea?
[HD2 Android SD Development] merschy:
Same here. After booting with both kernels original in 2.4 and upgraded 32hwa system becomes so laggy it takes literally minutes to launch any app and doesn't improve after 30 minutes of waiting. Also hd2 gets quite hot.

So until next upgrade I'll be using 2.3 as it's best one so far for me.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Welcome back PlayStation. I am not a chef, I only port Xylograph's ROM using boonbing's Portadroid, I try to maintain wis1152's thread and try to help out where I can. So I won't be cooking jelly beans.

Sorry for OT.

[HD2 Android SD Development] paleozord:
Could someone please provide a little extra guidance with this? I have downloaded the zip as above and placed the two folders into ICS/root/ as described above, but after several reboots I still do not have the soft buttons at the bottom of the screen.

Is there any extra step required to activate or install them? does it have to be done immediately after first run/install or can they be added at any time? Does something have to be done with the local.prop file subsequently or any script run manually somehow? So far all I've done is place the two folders into ICS/root/ on my SD card and it hasn't had any effect.

Can anyone help?
[HD2 Android SD Development] WizardBGR:
Are there any news from Jelly Bean?
[HD2 Android SD Development] tleaf100:
its an extra install for soft keys,think its near front of this thread somewhere or perhaps on the nand version,try googleing tytung,soft key download?

[HD2 Android SD Development] mr_billionaire:
I've been using the 1.5 version since it came out and just updated to 2.4 since I got a boot loop and didn't have time to fix it.

I changed the kernel to the ones that Tytung said to use but my phone kept freezing, going really slow, and rebooting, so I tried other builds, specifically Robbie P's AOKP B40, I noticed how fast it was going and thought hopefully that kernel will work and everything will be okay, well, I tried it, and it works!

Even wi-fi!

So, if your phone is feeling sluggish or reboots for no reason, use the kernel attached.

It's Tytungs kernel r3 I believe.
[HD2 Android SD Development] AmazingIceman:
Not true. All you need to do to enable Softkeys in this Rom is to edit the build.prop file.

I have done it already, no need to install anything extra.
[HD2 Android SD Development] secaplus:
@ Mr_billionaire Init file you gave is better, phone is faster.

[HD2 Android SD Development] bR00k:
Use LCD Resolution (Root) from Store and set "Always Sto on Boot".

After that it boot automatically, but make an normal reboot after that auto reboot!

Set mine to 160, nice!

[HD2 Android SD Development] mr_billionaire:

---------- Post added at 02:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 AM ----------

I'm not sure about screen resolution, I always leave it stock at 240. You can try the app bR00k recommended or edit the build.prop line

ro.sf.lcd_density=240

It should work.

thank @walidhazem! i mean: i don't understand: tytung saids: install:

.

You help me step bay step install plzz. my english very poor

i downloaded end copy ics to root microSD and i can't continue!
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
a. get on to magldr boot menu- switch on phone and hold down power button

b. with volume up/down button scroll to 10.services and select using call button

c. select 1.bootsettings

d. select 3.AD SD DIR

e. scroll to ics folder and select it

f. select 2. Boot AD SD

you are dual booting:)

Next time you switch on you may wish to select 10.services/1.bootsettings/2.AlwaysMenu so that each time the phone switches on it will show the menu. You can then select either 1.WPH or 2.Boot AD SD

Lastly if you wish to always boot straight to sd Android, select 10.services/1.bootsettings/1.bootsource/1.Android from SD

See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893618 for magldr instructions.

Hope this helps

How big differences in overall speed between NAND and SD version in normal, daily use?

I asking because if I use SD few minutes, open some applications ex. maps, sms, contacs etc. After few minutes system is very slooooowww.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Gigiandretti:
Testing out 2.5. Super Slow unfortunately. Main culprit seems to be Google Play. System not responding (wait close), restarts, feezing etc etc. I guess will try out all the previous initrd files to see which one works. (its on smartassV2 not restricted to 2 process just yet)
[HD2 Android SD Development] SpiriTwin:
The new version (2.5 21/07/2012) is very very slow, FC is the most visible dialog here.

Also, some times it asks to restart due to "SIM Card Added", which is not true and the network is already working

The performance of "EvoHD2-ICS.v8 4.0.4-full HWA-SD" was very good, but i suffer from a WIFI issue.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Gigiandretti:

Tried initrd with V2.5 which was posted by Mr billionare (thanks) at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28357104

Its actually working quite well.. really smooth. WIFI, mobile data all working. Give it a try guys.

Copy the initrd.gz file into your ICS folder replacing the one already there. Works like a charm so far!
[HD2 Android SD Development] wega007:
Yes, its working quite well. But no mobile data connection with this initrd.gz file:(

[HD2 Android SD Development] ukdutypaid:
Given this is the most popular ICS forum, I'll ask here. A few people have asked this here and there but does anybody know the definitive answer as to why bluetooth BT doesn't seem to work fully in any ICS SD build. I've tried three so far. I've also tried the new JB one.

I do have a GB build in which it works and a whole zip file of bt files from the Galaxy nexus forum (that's a GB build though). So, even if it is simply a case of pushing all the files over to ICS and now JB then I don't know where they go and surely the clever dev gods on here would have made it work, if they could.

So does anybody know what exactly the issue might be. My legendary Thinkoutside keyboard does actually pair, so the device recognises the code I'm putting in, but will it let me type anything. No, Siree, it won't.....

Anybody, any bright ideas. even BT HID Can't work, currently, will do me....

this solution is working now for me, with smooth ui and good performance.

v2.5 very sloooow :( also with initrd.gz from AOKP B40.
[HD2 Android SD Development] mrbarnie:
i am also suffering from a very slow device since upgrade.
[HD2 Android SD Development] :
Yeah, I guess there's a bug in the new initrd.gz! Someone already said that replacing it with an older one solves the problem :) For me it just works fine! :)

- experience7
[HD2 Android SD Development] wega007:
As mentioned in the NAND Thread, some people have also issues with mobile data connection. They solved the problem by increasing the system partition size and flashing the rom again. Can't do that with the SD build, so I just deleted some apps from system partition (youtube, maps) and installed them from google market to data partition again. Mobile data works just fine now and the rom seems to be much smoother too. So tytung please increase the size of system partition in next release!
[HD2 Android SD Development] mrbarnie:
thanks a lot, now it works as fast as i was used to ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] wega007:
Moving Apollo, GMail, Maps and Youtube to the data partition doesn't seem to be enough. For smooth long term operation you presumably need twice as much free space in the system partiton... Therefore is there an easy and fast way to increase the size of the system.ext4 image file? For ext2 and ext3 files there was Toporesize...
[HD2 Android SD Development] tytung:
I will enlarge the system partition.

By the way, which initrd.gz is best for you?

I would like to include it in v2.6.
[HD2 Android SD Development] wega007:
Thanks. That's great news! For v2.5 I'd say that the System partition should be at least 10% bigger! I'm useing the initrd.gz from Leo Ling 2.3.6 rom. I also tried other ones like AOKP B40 oder the one from post #1. But with more free space in system partition they are basically all the same. Can't really tell the difference...
[HD2 Android SD Development] NYSEAN1:
Great....will download and try it now :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] TruePlaya:
Just installed and used it for about 4 hours. V2.6 feels so much smoother, no lag or fc so far.

[HD2 Android SD Development] wis1152:
Try installing SD speed increase from market and set it to 2048 or 3072 also set setting/developer option/ background process limit to at almost 2:) see if that helps:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] stinkyload:
I have experienced quite a bit of lag and things like system or applications not responding. No force closes as of yet, one other issue is with mms they are not sending or downloading properly if Wi-Fi is on, and when I turn off Wi-Fi the data does not connect unless I reboot and try to send new mms. This is so close to being a solid ics build.

Thanks for the great developing:D
