If you are already using an ext 4 for app2sd on your nand ..don't worry ...you can install native SD rom without problem ..and not losing data..native SD rom files get installed in a folder called native SD and your nand rom files are on the root of the ext 4..so you can have both using the same ext4

If you are using an SD build ..that means your files are on fat32 part...copy that..make a back up on PC..make SD ext 4 partition ...install native SD build ...copy back the backup on fat32 portion and you are good to go...you can have both

Wait...how come you have files on ext4 using your old SD build?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hacker4748:
Thank you. I am currently using an SD build, my SD card is FAT32-formatted. Are you saying that all I need to to do is backup everything from the SD card to my PC, repartition to FAT32 + EXT4, copy back to the FAT32 and install the NativeSD build to the EXT4 partition? Will the new NativeSD build use the data from my existing data.ext4 automatically somehow?

I don't have files on ext4, but I have "system.ext4" and "data.ext4" in my Android dir on the SD card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Getrid:
Hello Hacker4748,

I would recommend to create a fresh data.ext4 from your NativeSD build once it is installed. I also recommend strongly to format your SD card after you copied its content to your PC. Don't use fast format! The formating procedure will take it's time but otherwise you might get problems with installation and/or battery consumption.

TitaniumBackup (TB)

It can be done easily with TitaniumBackup. Keep the working SD build in FAT32 and TB will use this info to restore your apps, data and xml (calls, sms etc).

TB will not restore the icons - some loaders may allow you to backup and restore settings.

Cheers

the first part is correct....

the native sd is like a new rom..it will not touch your apps from the fat32 part of old rom...you need to install apps again on the native sd rom ..you can use titanium backup on your old sd rom, and install them all on your new NSD rom using Titanium backup (fat 32 part is shared folders for both builds..so camera pics or wallpapers from zedge and like are shared on both builds):D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hacker4748:
Thanks to all.

Thank you. So basically, If I understand correctly, the EXT4 partition on the SD card will basically be what the System.ext4 and Data.ext4 files are now and the "Android" or "ICS" folder will not be required anymore. Thus the EXT4 partition should be around 1,5 GB and the rest can be FAT32.

It is recommended to use a fresh Data.ext4 for installation (or to let the system create one from scratch) and not the existing one from my currently used SD build.

To backup and restore TitaniumBackup is recommended.

Anything I am missing?

Thanks again very much.

Yes...

Ext4 of the native sd works similar to data.IMG file.. of old sd build method.

Try it and you will understand yourself
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MrSoapsud:
Migrate SD install to NativeSD

I have the same question but can't quite relate the answers to what I have on my memory card. I have a (mostly) working copy of 2.3.7 that I've been using for some time, but often have problems after connecting the phone to a computer - sometimes files added to the SD fat32 partition don't show up, or my ringtone on the SD doesn't work or .... So I was also wondering whether rather than install a fresh setup on NativeSD and reload all the apps (tried twice with 4.x versions and neither are happy) I could just move my SD install to NativeSD.

In the /Android folder I have kernel files, the large data filesystem, a smaller system one and some other stuff. Under /NativeSD I also have some kernel files and 2 folders, one for each attempt at a NativeSD install. I understand some of what's in startup.txt but it doesn't appear to be enough. I guess there must be things in the SD builds which tell the phone where to find data and system which would need changing? Is this possible?

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Szczepanik:
Moving from SD to NativeSD

One statement is not correct: you WILL have to have an "Android" folder as it holds a data folder for many apps. Also you may want to read through my lengthy posts in the [GUIDE] NativeSD for Windows Mobile (WM6.5) New Users that I wrote (good info even for non WM NativeSD users).

Your statement "It is recommended to use a fresh Data.ext4 for installation" does not make sense for NativeSD. You can keep your current SD build and still use it. For NativeSD, the EXT4 Partition has a folder for data. That is why NativeSD is faster - it uses the SD card, rather than a file.

Cheers

Tom
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MrSoapsud:
Useful guide - thanks - but the question remains - is it possible to move/copy an SD install to run from a NativeSD partition. I can see the folder in the ext4 partition named after the install, and the data and system folders in that. I can extract the data and system files from /Android into those easy enough. Question is, what to call the folder, and how to make the bootloader use it? Do I just move the kernel files to the NativeSD folder? What goes in startup.txt?

I've tried mr-evil1's EvoHD2 V10 but had the problem of it losing then re-detecting the sim card and needing a reboot. Thought it was a bit slow too even though it was on a Class 10 16 GB Samsung MicroSD card. That's why I'm wondering if I can just move my Gingerbread install across.

Thanks

NativeSD

MrSoapsud - it is not easy to move/copy an SD install to run from a NativeSD partition. You can find more information in the threads linked in my guide, in particular:

Howto port NAND to NativeSD | Step-by-Step

How is the NativeSD ROM work?

The easiest is to backup your apps and data (e.g. Titanium Backup), flash the new NativeSD ROM and then restore your apps. I would recommend Xylographs PACman or one of Tytung ROMs:

[13-NOV-2012][ROM][JB][4.1.2] PACman HD2 v1.2a [PA/AOKP/CM10][NativeSD][WIP]

[Nov. 18, 2012][ROM][720p] NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.8 [NativeSD]

[3.Nov.2012][ROM] NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.2 [NativeSD]

Cheers

Tom
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MrSoapsud:
OK - thanks again. Will take a look at that stuff and/or try one of those other ROMs.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MrSoapsud:
Tried the 4.0.4 one but found it too slow to be usable. Then found a NativeSD version of the AmeriCanAndroid 2.3.7 release I'd been using before so installed that and added my apps back. Speed and usability are good. Do any of the 4.1.2 ports run at an acceptable speed on the good old HD2?

Thanks

Martin
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maneken25:
My experience is, all speed and comfort of NativeSD depend on your sd card.

If you have card with good random r/w speed then you just need to test which custom roms fits you.

If you have card with bad slow random r/w speed(not class, normal speeed etc) then my advice is do alot xda and internet search for fast sd card with good random r/w. When you find good sd card allways try to buy exact model, cause even small difference in model number makes big difference in random r/w.

Atm sd card manufacturers doesnt provide full info about speeed except normal read and write so expect alot time energy spend on research.

Htc hd2 how is getting older he will need more and more investment and sd card will be crucial one.

If it's not fake then good work for the benchmark until Jellybean for S3 arrives

Still S3 outperforms Iphone5 :good:

And Iphone 5 will only use that for the gaming applications because their homescreen is so basic (No widgets and true multitasking), so to summarize it's still a useless upgrade.. I'd rather buy a Ps vita/nintendo DS for gaming if the main focus of apple products is to improve the hardware for gaming.

Hi All,

Because of a failing usb connection, I contacted the LG VIP service for a phone exchange. Because I had a scratch in my screen my phone was not accepted for exchange, which I can understand. Nevertheless I send an email explaining that it was the USB loader which was failing and I asked for a little compassion. Although I did not expect much, I got a phone call that I could exchange my phone. Needless to say that I was very happy with this and I think this is good service.

Now I am really happy with my optimus 3d phone again. Yes, it does not have ICS yet, yes the firmware could be better. But all in all it is a remarkeble phone with some good hardware specs and I still love shooting 3d photos and videos. It is fast enough and right now there are some noce custom roms available.

All in all good service from LG.
[LG Optimus 3D] jimakos29:
srsly??? good service??? my screen flickers in 2d mode and when I unlock the phone I can see all the screen split in vertical lines of pixels as if it is having sync problems and when I send it over to their service (3 times) they responded that the phone works according to specs and that they would not accept my sending it over again for the same problem... I thanked them for letting me know that my phone now works ok while it obviously didn't when I bought it cause it had none of these symptoms and asked them if I could send my brother's over so that they fix it to flicker as well cause apparently it doesn't. They said I needn't be sarcastic and now I am looking for a way to break the phone so it does not go off guarantee in order to have it replaced, when they should just replace it (or at least the screen) for all the weird stiff my screen does. Thinking of microwaving it for a one or two of seconds but hey if any of you guys has any better ideas I am all ears... their service sucks big time

I had encountered the home button issue while on vacation.. before upgrading. Educated guess is that is a hardware interference issue, not software.

[HTC One S] Terminator19:
As I posted in another thread:

This is what I noticed:

- faster throughout, a bit smoother as well, especially for sense stuff

- more free RAM

- wifi strength has definitely improved as well as the speeds slightly (can't test just how much stronger the signal is, as it is raining outside and that is the only time when my wifi is the weakest i.e. 1-2 bars :p)

- signal strength with "GSM only" connection has improved, getting full bars most of the time now (although it still goes back to 3 or so every now and then and is why there is virtually no difference in the screens below), however, it has vastly improved when I have a "WCDMA only" connection as you can see

- data speeds aren't much better although the upload is higher and the ping is a bit better

- browsing seems much quicker

- sense browser has an updated UI, which is much nicer and more functional, the double tap to zoom in renders the page a lot quicker

- as we all know, the 3 dot menu button tweak

- EA games, where we can get dead space for free (looks great and works very well on the S)

- I think multi-tasking is a bit better as well

- auto focus

- front camera quality is better

Before on left and after update on right:

And speed tests, repeated the test twice:

IMO definitely worth updating!

Does anybody have any news in regards to if there is going to be an LTE 1800mhz version of the Note 2? I am very keen to get it, but want to use it on the Optus LTE network in Australia.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xaddict:
GSN2 LTE is to be released in Germany in mid November then in the rest of Europe:

http://www.sammobile.com/2012/09/11...iii-lte-note-10-1-and-ativ-s-over-in-germany/

Germany has 3 bands, 800/1800/2600.

If Sammy makes the EU GN2LTE with the same bands as the EU GS3LTE, which it probably will, it should work fine on Optus.

Who knows when we will see it selling in Australia.

"The new version of the Galaxy S III comes in two iterations: one with LTE over 800MHz, 1800MHz and 2600MHz, and a second one that switches the 800MHz band for the 900MHz band, according to Samsung in Sweden."

My Kindle Fire 1st Gen has a glass panel issue where it doesn't adhere fully to the Lcd. It's been like this since I bought it.

I kind of procrastinated about sending it for warranty since I needed to use it. And now that Kindle Fire 2 has been released, and the OG kindle fire is out of stock, I fear that sending my Kindle Fire in will result in Amazon giving me a Kindle Fire 2, which has a locked bootloader.

I tried to connect the Infinity using the 40 pin adapter to an Onkyo receiver thru it's USB media port.

[Asus Transformer TF700] pileot:

You are theoretically right .

At this moment Samsung Galaxy S3 is capable of offering USB DAC Integration (Here is a link)
