Okay so you have moved on from the black screen to the HTC logo?

I'd Task29 a couple of times drop partition to 350mb.

In CW Recovery do a factory re-set this will clear 4EXT. (4EXT will remain)

Wipe system data and Dalvik cache and install again.

Good Luck.

Perhaps someone with the knowlege can explain what that error is in your log and it's impact on your install.

Ok I'm trying right now, can I do this just keeping 1 fat32 partition and install only on nand?

In case I want to try with 2 partitions and intall with the second option, do I need also to create a swap partition?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] a3r0n1:
You should have 1 Fat & 1 4EXT.

No need for the swap.

My installation of 1.2 clk full is as follow :

misc : 1

recovery : 7

boot : 5

systeme : 310

cache : 5

After the 4 wipes, I runned the installation and in aroma I've choosen ppp, data on ext EU/ full install.

After first boot I did the simple settings, let the rom settle for 10 minutes, reboot and did the gmail settings. For information, that last step might be long for synchronisation, it was for me...

Tytung, in first post it says 285 for the recovery size and in aroma it says 295 for full install. May I suggest to update first post with 295 ?

Many, many thanks for this hard work and for keeping the leo alive as the KING.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NYLimited:
Are you SURE you have a good boot partition correctly formatted? If your system partition is too small OR of the initrd.gz and zImage files cannot be copied you will stop at the logo.

Can you get into recovery? Magldr menu option 8. If the answer is yes copy the attached file to your sd card. Anywhere so you can find detailed it quickly, like root.

In cwm recovery select the flash zip file and pick zip file, as if you were about to flash the rom.

Find the aromafm file you put in the card and 'flash' it. It will only run, not flash.

Once it loads you will be in a file manager app. Find and open the folder /boot

If it doesn't exist you can stop.

If it opens you should see 2 files in it:

initrd.gz should be .9mb

zImage should be 2.8mb

Let me know what you find.

You should try to increase your system partition size. It might help.

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 PM ----------

There is no data.img/data.ext4 for this ROM. You need a bootloader like MAGLDR and flash the zip file using a recovery. You need to have a primary ext4 partition which will be used as the data partition.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] prattjo:
For me it works with no problems.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] a3r0n1:
Personally I wouldn't hesitate....but there are no guarantees

Your need to read through the forum to see whats working and what has niggles.

Backup your existing rom & sdcard.

If you don't like you can always revert back to your old rom.

Nothing ventured......Nothing gained :)

Do I need to do this after a fresh install with option 2?

I'll try right away

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

ok the boot folder is empty... what now?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NYLimited:
It may be indicative even right now although I am not sure what using option 3 may do to the partition. The ideal time would indeed be after the install, sorry.

The boot partition should have been created when the toolkit ran. The 2 files should have been placed into it by the rom install process when you select either option 1 or 2. It is puzzling that option 1 worked but 2 didn't...

Nonetheless, if your boot process stops on the initial logo that suggests the initrd.gz file is never decompressed and never runs - or dies for some reason.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tytung:
The installer log looks great.

Could you provide logcat?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] materoprodutions:
I see, what might be the cause? after different testings I realized that wasn't working even with oprton 1 for some reason... well I appreciate all the help. I will use 3rd option for now and I hope to figure out a solution when the next update will come...this never happend to me, and I've been flashing this phone for a while now...

ps.might the problem be the flash of the partion that happens in hd2 toolkit? the file I'm talking about is here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\HD2 Toolkit\data\ref and is configured like this

misc ya 1M

recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img

boot yboot|ro 5M

system ya 350M

I've never touched this file. After installing magdlr I just press the repartition button in HD2 toolkit after setting the size to 350/5...

[HD2 Android NAND Development] materoprodutions:
I didn't think it had any but maybe I was checking it the wrong way.. what is the correct procedure to test if I have? and if I do the solution is just a bigger partition no?

Thanks again
[HD2 Android NAND Development] NYLimited:
Essentially, that setup would be fine, HOWEVER, you are having problems. The problems suggest that either the boot or system partition are creating the issue and since they do not seem to be too small the logical assumption is bad blocks (although you indicated no bad blocks, but I am not convinced) which takes away from the space or creates badly written data.

You sad you have already tried various system partition sizes but have not tried to change the boot partition size.

Since I don't know how to do it with the Toolkit I will give you a different way.

You need to re-partition which will wipe your system and NAND data if you have any.

No need to reinstall Magldr.

First, download

this zip file

.

Unzip the file into an empty folder on your PC.

Power on phone holding power button to access magldr menu

Select "USB Flasher" option

Run DAF.exe from the folder you unzipped to and go through installer to set required partition layout (see flash.cfg file you extracted from zip)

After reboot repeat step 2 above to access menu again

Select option 8 and CWR Recovery will load

The partition info I have in this file is:

misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr 8M recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 10M
system ya 399M
cache ya 3M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

Ideally you do not need partitions this big however since you are trying to use option 2 you don't need space for data in NAND anyway. I am pushing 8 MB for recovery so you can later flash other, larger recoveries if you ever want to. I am also pushing your boot partition to 10 MB in case there are bad bad blocks there. Likewise the system partition to 399 MB in case there are bad blocks.

Let's see if you can flash option 2 successfully with this configuration.

And I can't restart my phone now.It stop at start animation.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Pekasala:
Yes.

This is only an issue when installing 1.2 to NAND, because the size of the system partition must be changed.

That is no problem on NativeSD installations.

I did..

task29

cLK repartition 300mb system and 5mb cache

cLK recovery

Just read swap isn't necessary. decreased to 2gb and 0mb swap. Also did full install now. Will update with results below:

Second boot also takes a very long time in black screen with HTC logo.

Remains slow and a lot of screens asking if you want to close or wait for application. Mostly continuous to work after choosing "wait". Some programs don't even start up, or when program has background activity shuts down.

I had this when I did a clean install. I got it to work by playing a sound file and then hit the volume up button then the sound will start to work.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] JamilG:
Big lags

Hi, guys!

I have installed 1.2 version couple of days ago using NAND with DataOnEXT option.

It works without bugs but the only problem is that rom is painfully slow.

I have read in comments that version 1.2 is very fast, even 'project butter' fast.

Well, for me it is not even close to the speed of the NexusHD2-ICS rom.

I am thinking of buying class 10 SD card but I am not sure if it will help.

I think currently I have class 4 card. And it worked fast enough for me when I was using Link2SD application to move all programs to SD card.

What could you say about performance of this rom compared to tytung's NexusHD2-ICS rom?

Thanks for any feedback in advance.

p.s. attaching my Antutu score and sd card speed tester score.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] chimpsinties:
For me using NAND + SD-Ext it was quite slow in v1.1 but after doing a clean install of v1.2 it is very fast. I'd say easily as fast as ICS on NAND. Of course a better card is going to make a difference. I have a Samsung Class 10. They're so cheap now, you might as well get the fastest you can.

If you used option 1 you must be very tight on space.

If you used option 2 have you tried increasing the system partition size to something like 350 or perhaps even more? Also, check how the sd card is formatted (cluster size for fat32) and the read-ahead buffers. See link in my signature for more sd card info.

What brand is your current Class 4 card? How is it setup? I already said too much about this topic

[HD2 Android NAND Development] twoxx:
In Android the Speed of your SD-Card depends on more than only on its "class".

If you use a SD-Card you have to think of following things in order to speed it up

If you want to speed up romyou can do a lot of steps:

* you can try changing i/o scheduler,

* you can set another governour (but i think smartassv2 is still the best .... t

* you can do a little overclocking by setting max cpu freq up to 1152 mhz instead of default 998 mhz...

but you have to look at your battery.... it will increase battery drain... ( i set max cpu 96 mhz when screen is off and set cpu 1152 mhz when screeen is on... that saves battery an my hd2 is flying with speed when i am using it, and i decreased cpu voltage a little bit).

* do NOT use zram.. .it slows down performance.. i use an 128 mb swap partition instead an set swappines to 50...

that in combination with sd-card tweaking makes rom smoother and faster:

- Readahead Buffer..... set readahead minimum up to 2048. But you have to find out

which value is the best especially for YOUR SD-CARD . ( I use a class 10 SD-Card and it's running best at 8192, other sd-cards run best at 2048)

- cluster size of partitions... (FAT32 - cluster should be 32 kb, EXT-Partition should be 4kb or 8 kb ... the bigger the cluster the faster it is

reading data, but you loose space and writing will be slower) but all that depends on your sd-card.... you have to try out a lot.

I have FAT32: 32kb, EXT4-Partition 8kb

- EXT4- partitions are the fastest, but they have a "journal"-mode... this mode slows down performance.. you can disable journalling, but then

some sd-cards are unstable. on my sd-card it works great an ist very fast.

---- AND use a faster launcher... ... i use zeam-launcher... it's a very simple launcher but very fast.

You will have to increase the size of the system partition till you get a clean boot. Don't forget to backup any data you need!

If the NativeSD install works for you and you are happy with it there is no need to keep going. Since NativeSD places everything on the card any NAND issues become transparent.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] NYLimited:
@tytung

A possible explanation for the no sound complaints (not the same as low sound) .

If Media Server is removed or frozen or disabled sound design selection may fail. For example, using ES file explorer to pick your ringtone will result in the word "silent" displaying in /settings/sounds/ringtones. Re-enabling get Media Server will show the selected sound design file even when file explorer is used.

If this happens and the user didn't notice the display that audio file will NOT play. The solution seems to be unfreezing or reinstalling Media Server.

[ EDIT ] After updating a system sounds may have to be reselected with Media Server running even if they worked before!
