[HD2 Android SD Development] ictimai:
Thanks for the explanation of "SRAM" idea. It seems very promissing as NativeSD ROMs are slow on my class 4 Kingston card... Putting everything into RAMdisk should give us the ever fastest ROM despite running from SD. The only nuisance is lacking possibility of booting it from cLK :( Or maybe is it is possible do to anything?
[HD2 Android SD Development] ictimai:
Yet another question please: what is the battery drain in this SRAM ROM and how does it compare to others?
[HD2 Android SD Development] sinedoOo:
Can you update this port to version v2b please? The new version comes with new adreno libs, so maybe performance in games will be much better:) How to change dpi in super ram version? Simple editing build.prop and default.prop doesn't work, after reboot it is still 240dpi. Thanks!
[HD2 Android SD Development] mahir555:
Thanks for this rom .its really stable.. but i cant use it without ARABIC support :( am not an expert of editing roms.. so how can i have arabic in this perfect rom:confused:

Is there any plan to port v2b?

I'm using Barebone CM7 V2 SRAM and having problem about data connection. When I disable the data and enable it, there is no data connection. I have to restart for the data connection to come back. Does anybody have this problem and how to fix this? This build uses RMNET or PPP?

v2b SRAM on post #1

Sorry for delay in posting this.

Data works, tested on magldr and haret.

EDIT:i have changed post 1 title thread date for you Robbie;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
I recently had wp7 on nand and nativeSD builds on sd. When a nativeSD rom refused to boot I had no way of editing NativeSD folder to change initrd.gz and zImage for another ROM (there is a way to access sd contents from wp7.5 but i have not yet tried it). Using the SRAM build with a small (48mb) data.ext4 posted in post#1, you can now have a working backup android build to get out of trouble, which takes up minimal space. Not that BBCM7 is only useful for this reason;)

Edit; Thanks wis1152:)
[HD2 Android SD Development] gasanpride:
I don't have WPhone on my HD2 but I have a similar issue since I have a problem with USB port - won't sync ever since. Workaround is just remove the SD card and edit straight from the PC. Can you not see the Fat32 in your SD card with your PC?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Sorry, didn't make it clear. I was out and away from pc at the time. So had to use wp7 for the evening:silly:;)

wow

Big thanks: Rick_1995 & Learning Never EndsTeam.

This really is the best and fastest Rome, since Darkstone and AcA.

I am thrilled with the speed and the minimality.

Exactly what I was looking for. I am totally fascinated.

No errors or problems so far.

One question, is there a way, this fantastic Rome teach the German language?

Sorry for my bad Englisch.

Cheers Sam
[HD2 Android SD Development] adell_:
No. English only.
[HD2 Android SD Development] zyclone:
Yes we can

Hi folks and kengkaj.s

And it works!

My Rome is now multilingual.

Still have some modified and am very happy with the Rom.

I know no other ROM for that performance and ease.

I still use WM 6.5 in Nand because I need to Garmin as off-road navigation.

Now it is time to say thank's,

for the fantastic Rom and the solutions changed my build.

First thanks Rick_1995 for fantastic Rom!

Many thanks to Learning Never Ends Team for porting this build to SD.

Big thanks to Xylograph for solutions

Thanks so much tytung for al his work to keep Hd2 alive :)

Thanks sternas for great Artemis WM6.5 buid.

Cotulla and and and al the other make this possible.

Hi sinedoOo

Edit the startup.txt in the folder BBCM7.

Change the lcd_density=XXX

Hi mahir555

Well its possible, to have this fantastic build in Arabic.

Read this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33125559&postcount=196

Font and Framework Folder can be delete while the build is running.

Copy the two folders from the cm7 nightly on the right place.

The apps from cm7 must be overwrite the apps in

bootsystem / app.

Overwrite only the apps you already have in original.

Otherwise you haven't enough space.

I've done all this steps while the build is running.

That's all, now you have Arabic and Multilanghwich.

PS. Don't forget to fix permissions on the apps

Rom Manger is nice to do that.

Hope it work for you

Sorry for my bad English

Back

To my favorite SD build, AmeriCanAdroid.

Yesterday my Barebone slows extremely down.

It sucks and hangs, don't no why.

Since many years I'm using this ACA and always back to it.

Now with tytungs new Kernel.

I'm testing Bearbone on a single SD card to see what's happen.

Report later ........

All the best.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Sorry to hear that zyclone. Out of interest, which ACA build version are you still using?

Edit; And good luck with your tests.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Erroneous91:
Need information

I have WP7 on NAND, used some NativeSD rom's on EXT4 ofc and I stumbled up on this ROM.

What I did is: copied the whole folder I downloaded from here to the root of the FAT32 partition(I just left the EXT4 data hanging with the last nativeSD rom I had, I didn't bother touching it) and I copied the data.ext4[2GB] I downloaded to the folder where haret.exe is.

It booted via MAGLDR but I'm getting Force closes: once on boot "Calendar Storate (process com.android.providers.calendar)" and "android.process.acore" on EVERY few seconds.

Did I copy the data.ext4 in the wrong place? Or something else is wrong?

Thanks alot for your time.

EDIT:

It's working now, I just reformated the FAT32 and put only the ROM I downloaded without the data.ext4, whatever that is... :D

EDIT2:

Also, what's the proper way to treat the ROM on first boot? I see it says REBOOT x3, some say wait for the ROM to settle down, what's the proper way? Reboot x3 right after the first initial setup and after the 3rd reboot wait for it to settle?
[HD2 Android SD Development] farafr:
Change LCD Density?

Hi to all,

I wanted to change LCD density from 240 to 204. so I changed the line "ro.sf.lcd_density" in build.prop inside SYSTEM.EXT4 from 240 to 204. then I changed the new SYSTEM.EXT4 with the old one. after booting to the rom nothing changed. the I checked the build.prop with Root Explorer and the line "ro.sf.lcd_density" was Ok (204). the I found there's also a similar line in the file default.prop so I changed it as well. this time after booting to the rom, I found that the line "ro.sf.lcd_density" hasn't been changed. (it's 240).

would someone tell me how can I make change in default.prop and is there anywhere else to change?

I'm using MGLOADER1.13 to boot android.

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Hi farafr, in superRAM builds you have to edit build.prop in bootsystem then reboot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] farafr:
Hi Robbie P,

thank you very much my friend. It worked great.

I also found a program named "CM9 Nightly Port Manager" that also do the job so easily. It's good for less experienced user.
[HD2 Android SD Development] farafr:
After abbout 3 weeks of use, I can say this is the most stable and smoothest rom around here in every aspects (in my opinion).I want to thanks everyone in LNE team and also Rick_1995 for this masterpiece.

I have two Questions:

1. Is there a way to make VPN run on this rom?

2. Is there any guide or tutrial about making a semiSD rom? I wonder if it's possible to run this rom in RAM as it is, and the data be in ext4 partition. I mean somthing like "BoxmaXS3.5V9 semi-SD" rom.

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Hi farafr, I agree. I have had no problems with this build. I have been using it often lately (on 200Mb FAT16 partition of my WP7.8 sd card).

1. I don't use vpn, and apparently neither does Rick_1995. Which is why he removed vpn support when barebone was created. Not sure how difficult it would be to reinstate it.

2. Boxmax v9 semi SD put parts of /system into RAM to speed up commonly used apps AFAIK. In this SuperRAM version, ALL of /system is already in RAM from boot up. But I can see benefits from having /data on an ext4 partition, as opposed to in data.img. But how this can be achieved is beyond me:o

Sorry, not much help. And happy New Year.
[HD2 Android SD Development] farafr:
Thanks my friend, it's ok :). I'm looking forward to find a way to boot data from ext4 partition.
[HD2 Android SD Development] adell_:

[HD2 Android SD Development] Flukturr:
Thank you for this ROM.

I am trying to set this on my SD 16Gb SDHC card with number 4 on it, formated freshly to 64 kb clusters wia Windows 7.

I have HTC HD2 with stock ROM WM6.5, radio is 2.15.50.14.

I followed instructions from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881958

I copied files and folders from BareboneCM7_v2b_SRAM.zip\BareboneCM7_v2b_SRAM\BBCM7 to SD Card\Android (everything from BBCM7).

I use no Automatic Bootloader, I want to run it manually.

It goes OK untill running Harret, I see HTC android logo, when phone after few seconds boots back to Windows.

Any Idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

F
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Rename SDcard/Android folder to SDcard/BBCM7 and try again (or edit startup.txt to reflect new folder name, but I think "Android" folder might be used by other builds so best to use unique name above)

Hope it helps

I find it huge. It drains my battery from 100 to 0 in 8 hours, with no apps installed, just Gmail app.

The problem is probably brightness of the screen.

When I check 'About phone/Battery usage' I see display uses 83 %.

I use 0 or 10% brightness...

I have 2 other android devices. Their 'About phone/Battery usage' shows 48% and 53% battery usage for display.

Still trying to find the solution....

Any hint appreciated.

[HD2 Android SD Development] Flukturr:
Do I understand right, if I change line in startup.txt from

"rel_path=Android data_size=512

to

"rel_path=Android data_size=1024

will I have bigger 'internal' memory?

Because it doesn't work for me.

Is there any simple way?

I have 16 Gb CD card, and can not install no more apps...

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

F
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Yes, if you edit that line it will create a new, bigger data.ext4 file for more apps. But first you must delete your existing data.ext4 (or just rename it to olddata.ext4, in case you want to return to it). you might try copying data.ext4 to pc and use toporesize to increase its size.
[HD2 Android SD Development] traxandrew:
Very nice ROM and very fast. Using booting from SD. But still need Youtube app fix. It doesn't log in into your account. And update to newer Android version would be nice.

Hey guys,

I have a small update that I've been using myself over the past few weeks. Most stuff I use works just fine but I'd like to inform you that I have not tested any cellular functionality at all as I no longer use HD2 as my daily phone (moar time for hacking!) Also, bare with me, as I'm a portadroid newb, I'm not really sure if superRAM is working or not.

Feedback will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Download (Dev-Host)

PS: Some things you might want to do to make it smoother,

Open settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Interface

1) Overscroll effect: None

Open settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Performance

1) Turn-off dithering

2) Enable 16 bit transparency

3) Scrolling cache: Default disable

4) Allow purging of assets
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Hi Rick_1995, my bandwidth is useless ATM so can't test.

You should know if superRAM is activated because a /bootsystem folder is created in root.

Looking forward to trying it.

Thanks for the update:good::good:
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Finally got a chance to try it.

First boot took a few minutes as usual for porting.

Second boot took less time.

Data not working, had to put system folder from rmnet to ppp update into sdcard/android/root folder and reboot, and it is working now.

wifi works out of the box.

market keeps FCing, tried installing gb gapps (system into root folder and reboot) but still get FCs. tried fixing perms. Will see what i can do tomorrow.

Running nice elsewise.

:good:

Will update OP tomorrow too, night all.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
I have uploaded a new version of Rick_1995's latest version which he posted here.

The changes i made were

1. I used portadroid 4.0 to port it. This creates ext4 image of system and allows magldr users to use different sized data.ext4 from here

2. This has already been ported so all non-used files are already deleted, first boot will take less time (unless a new data.ext4 is being created), and will go straight to setup without rebooting.

3. I put tytung's rmnet to ppp update in the build since portadroid only usses ppp

4. Changed name of vending.apk to Vending.apk, so market now works

5. Changed name of build folder to bbcm72 (also in startup.txt) to have a unique folder name, and to avoid confusing android with a folder name it uses for storage. Startup.txt also has default of 128mb data.ext4 and gps zone sg (HaRET users change to suit)

Download http://d-h.st/1La

Thanks Rick_1995
[HD2 Android SD Development] traxandrew:
Will it boot from SD using Windows 6.5?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Yes indeed, navigate to bbcm72 folder using file manager, then tap first on clrcad (nothing appears to happen) then on HaRET.
[HD2 Android SD Development] traxandrew:
Yeah thx I figured it out. One problem so far the app wechat doesn't launch for some weird reason.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
It doesn't for me either. Can't find on website whether cm7 is supported. Does it work on other cm7 roms?
[HD2 Android SD Development] traxandrew:
No idea I didn't test it unfortunately.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
ok i will try it on sundawg cm7

dpi change

Can someone explain to me how to change the dpi in this rom? In nand and sd roms I normally use the textdroider app but it is not working here. I've also tried to modify all the files mentioned in this discussion (build.prop, default.prop, startup.txt) with no result. I'd love to use this rom on a daily basis however 240dpi is just not what I want to look at every day:) thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Hi, you need to edit ro.sf.lcd-density in /bootsystem/build.prop and reboot

Good luck mate
[HD2 Android SD Development] Calisto1986:
Thanks. As I said, I tried everything mentioned in this discussion with no result. Has anyone managed to change the dpi? I installed this rom via magldr(native sd), not haret. Thanks
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Are you sure you are booting via NativeSD?;)

This thread is for the SuperRAM sd version. The usual way to change dpi is as i said above. Note that you need a root enabled file explorer with a text editor to edit /bootsystem/build.prop, which is at the root of your phone. You might need also to edit the same line in /bootsystem/default.prop. I am on haret at the moment and I edited those two and edited startup.txt, and now i have dpi at 160, so it does work. Please try, and report back
[HD2 Android SD Development] Calisto1986:
thanks for replying, I appreciate your time. I installed the rom via mgldr and it says Booting android from Sd at the start (and the path to the rom- bbcm72 on the card). I've got a root browser and modified the following: /bootsdcard/bbcm72/startup.txt (that's where the rom on my sd is), /bootsystem/build.prop and default.prop, also system/build.prop and default.prop, also sdcard/bbcm72/startup.txt (there are 2 lines with lcd density here, I've changed them both). My phone is definitely rooted (checked with Root check app).

Actually, as I'm writing this, I've noticed that the LCD density value in /bootsystem/default.prop changes to 240 after each reboot - Is there any reason why?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
How odd, i just went to magldr and tried it and the same thing happened as with you. It seems default.prop resets to 240 after reboot and it takes precedence over build.prop, or perhaps is called after build.prop:confused:

I copied the contents of default.prop to build.prop (except the dpi line) then deleted default.prop from /bootsystem, /system and / but it reappears in all places after reboot, and still at 240. I am confused now and need sleep, will check again tomorrow;)

Thanks for report:good:
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Hi Calisto1986, I managed to change dpi to 160, but it involved editing init in initrd.gz, which meant using linux.

So i hope you are happy with 160dpi:fingers-crossed:

Replace the attached with the one in your bbcm72 folder, boot it and report back.

No need to delete default.prop since init re-creates it on boot.

I've not seen this problem before with magldr booting but am usually on 240, learning never ends;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Calisto1986:
It works! You are a top man! I usually use 180dpi but 160 looks brilliant. Thanks again for your help:good:
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
I chose 160 since historically there were problems with playstore/market and 160 is not a custom dpi but there you go.

Glad you are happy

This is an sd build, you can't flash it.

Which bootloader, clk or magldr are you using?
[HD2 Android SD Development] EvilMegaDroid:
ohh that's why , i though it was my sdcard problem since i can't install things on ext4 partition since the sdcard is half dead (getting a new one soon) , so how do i run this ? also do you think that a sdcard that has problem would make some zip files not able to flash since i can flash some roms and some other roms or mods i can't (dunno why)

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

ohh yeah , about your question . im using magldr since i can't get the drivers of clk working on win8.1( thinking of doing a clean install of win7 again since win 8.1 sucks ) so that may be the problem of my flashing errors too , maybe ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
Read the first post for magldr;), if it is unclear, please post and I will try to fill in the gaps. People just knew what to do when this was first posted:)

What win 8.1? You are the second person to mention win8.1, HD2 has only 7.8:confused:

Edit; doh, you mean on PC lol
[HD2 Android SD Development] EvilMegaDroid:
yup i mean win 8.1 , i will check it later first i want to find a solution to why i can't flash some mods or theme tweeks , it is getting really annoying
[HD2 Android SD Development] denizenx:
Hi there

trying this out.

using a one gig file but each time I run haret it goes into the Android boot screen, and then reboots into Windows.

what does the reboot x 3 mean? I've run it four times.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
It sounds like you might be getting bootloops from the 1gb data.ext4.

delete that data.ext4

edit the startup.txt file with the size of data.ext4 that you require (assuming there is enough space on sdcard).

reboot 3x is for after the rom has booted to make sure everything works ok.
[HD2 Android SD Development] denizenx:
Thanks... finally got it up after fiddling with the data file..

I tried to set dpi to 160 but apps like FB messenger don't fill the screen... is that the dpi issue in the front?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
To change dpi in superRAM builds, you have to use a root enabled browser, open /bootsystem/build.prop and edit the line ro.sf.lcd-density to whatever value you want.

FC's

Hi.

I installed this rom, with a 2GB data.ext, but i get fc's all the time.

Does someone have a fix?
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
that's odd. you can try installing rom manager and use fix permissions
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheHunterNL:
I can't even type something in the market/play store...
[HD2 Android SD Development] Robbie P:
did you check md5sum of your download? It does seem wrong that you should have so many FCs, there over a thousand downloads and I don't recall this being an issue. It might be worth re-formatting the sdcard using https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/index.html and trying again, sometimes helps. What make and class card is it?

Also
[HD2 Android SD Development] TheHunterNL:
I don't know how to check md5sum. But, i switched to a different nand 4.2 rom. TouchWiz. But, thanks for the help, and this will be my second rom :D
