[HD2 Android NAND Development] partho roy chowdhury:
I installed V1.2 ROM on NAND but I cannot install any applications from the market. The ROM keeps crashing out. Am I missing something here?

I did a full install on NAND with Data-on-Ext Tytung's kernel & RMNET - Odexed.

Any fix for this ?

Partho
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
Oops, no, not!

That means You don't need to reodex after applying the Term app fix.

Thanks,

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
Please re-install the ROM, save the install log and share it. See instructions on OP in issues section.

Please also report your partition layout and bootloader type (MAGLDR|cLK)!

If possible use the v2.52-1.3 (see OP), the new installer will print out more details. If you go with the new version, check the SYSTEM/NAND and SD-EXT free space reports on the first screen in the installer!

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] partho roy chowdhury:
Ok. I will give Ver 1.3 a try. In case of a problem, I will share the details.

Partho
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
1.3 is not for cLK

Hi!

Thanks to szym3k pointing out a new bug in the installer for cLK users.

cLK users: please use 1.2 and apply the Term app fix until I fix it in 1.4 (~1h)

Sorry for that, I hope this will be the latest AROMA/recovery workaround pulled in bug in installer...

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
new installer to be tested

Hi!

If you are on cLK, please test this installer:

PA-HD2_v2.52-1.4.zip - 194.23 MB - MD5: 2e812920d68594a91a175e0ede094cae

The kernel switcher is also updated:

kernelswitcher-PA-HD2-v2.52-1.x-u1.zip - 11.33 MB - MD5: e9a3059189b96d36eabc38e3eb010e78

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
tested new installer and works for both MAGLDR and cLK.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] skinbis:
Did you add the 4.2 camera and keyboard to the ROM or I have to flash it separately?

I'd also be grateful if Google Play Music is incorporated into the ROM.

Thanks will try the 1.4 in a bit
[HD2 Android NAND Development] djsolidsnake86:
pa can be update to 2.54?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
You have to flash them separately.

I'm trying to keep the ROM as clean as possible (or a bit more minimal than original PA like Gallery vs. QuicPic and Android Keyboard vs. MultiLing) and move out those extra stuff to fixes.

Please note that the packages can be applied to any type of installations - NAND-only, NAND+DataOnExt or NativeSD - and the packages have rollback features also, so fell free to play around with the extra stuff. ...and as usual, create backup before flashing!

I'll prepare a package to install/remove GooglePlayMusic 4.1.2/4.2 today/tomorrow.

All: let me know if you need more customizations prepared for this ROM, otherwise I'll focus on the PA 2.54 update!

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
I'll try to do an update today/tomorrow.

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
just out of curiousity does this rom have the aokp rom control in it
[HD2 Android NAND Development] 11nn93n9:
Anyone encountered issues with Titanium Backup?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
No, this is a PA-only ROM.

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
why ROMContol is missing?

Users who are asking about ROM Control:

Could you please mention what is the feature you are looking for not provided by PA but only AOKP/PAC/CAMP?

Many thanks, J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] 11nn93n9:
Anyone sees "Unfortunately, Google Text-to-Speech Engine has stopped" message after installation reboot? I got it on both 1.3 and 1.4.

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

Subsequent reboot, this msg no longer shows up.

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

In Settings->Security, check the unknown sources and reboot solves the issue.

Able to set the sizes of a softkey button is nice.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
Don't worry, the problem is not with your deployment, it's a known issue - see Issues section on OP.

Thanks!

Anyway, did you try to change the workspace dpi? Or if you don't want to change workspace, try to change the statusbar dpi. Or if you want to keep both on different sizes, try to apply wwchang's mod.

Wondering if one of these could be enough to cover that feature of ROMControl.

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Faith_G:
Mainly the ability to add a soft power button. I want my HD2 to last forever. :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wxl104:
My hd2 PA-v1.2 rom died,So I can't show you the Battery screenshot.I don't think it is a good idea to use dataonext for class 4 sdcard.It take me a lot of trable,such as app runs laggy,and restart is very slow.But before it died,I saw there is phone idle process which I didn't see before
[HD2 Android NAND Development] netchamp.faris:
The Sound workaround is not working for me. Ideas ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
Thanks!

Could you please test the mod by wwchang - linked on OP - if it gives the soft power button what you looking for?

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
I can agree, I had some bad experience with class4 and DataOnEXT.

Now I'm on Sandisk UHS-1 and because I had to check a cLK issue yesterday, I have a few days on MAGLDR and cLK, full day mobile data (H), etc, and very-very good consumption.

Try to get an UHS-1 card... speed also will be much better. Lag/freeze on high I/O (>50%) will exist - but I'm thinking on adding DataOnNAND to one of the upcoming releases...

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
Did you try this on a clean install?

Some 3rd party apps adding hooks to sound block that workaround for some reason. :(

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Kameirus:
some people dont want invisiable soft power button

they want it visiable.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
Agree.

wwchang: Could you please add the "visible" pw button feature your mod / new mod?

Many thanks, J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] 11nn93n9:
Changing the statusbar dpi to 200 reduced the softkey size. Thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] skinbis:
I have connected to you soo much. And i love your rom. Yet ive always been a huge xylo fan... i am using the 1.4 of your rom, i want to try the new xylo rom and see but i am waiting for your PA. 2.54 update

v2.54-2.0

Hi,

Here is the new package: PA-HD2_v2.54-2.0.zip - 255.32 MB MD5: be88b5848ac6efc2d6e5c94337909e98

1. CREATE FULL BACKUP FROM RECOVERY! before flashing

2. If you are doing an upgrade w/o wiping your data (of course you don't want to loose your settings and apps), make sure

- you select wipe dalvik at least

- you select all the extra apps for /data/app (e.g. google apps) otherwise they will be removed (not all if you updated from market)

- you select apps only compatible with your current applications - e.g. if you downloaded GooglePlayMusic 4.1.2, clean up (remove app) before installing 4.2 from installer.

3. Make sure your PARANOID PREFERENCES are backed up as rom upgrade removes the settings.

Please note: it could be happened, that you have to merge your settings back manually - test if restoring preferences from PPreferences works...

Currently there is only tytung's kernel included, not sure if I'll have time to add marc1706's kernel - feedback please!

I tested only cLK+tytung+NAND-DataOnEXT+PPP - please leave some notes if you tested additional configs!

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] skinbis:
WOOOOOOT. You are a genius. Downloading now, will test it when i get home later today!!!!!!!!! and let you know how it goes. thanks mate

[HD2 Android NAND Development] zenida:
Is this based on PACman 1.2?

Because on this last release there's a bug with Wi-Fi
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tw1st3d83:
Im testing MAGLDR+tytung+NAND-DataOnEXT+RMNET and everything works just fine for now... im only using it fo 4-5 hours... good work man ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
Yes, but kernel, some libs, framework, apps are different.

I tested the install with wifi turned off, full wipe, install and wifi worked.

Let us know if it does not work for you.

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dimdimdim:
magldr

nativesd

had no wifi with 1.2 pacman

on PAHD254 wifi works well

but have occasional hiccups here and there
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
on hiccups, could you please check if %i/o is > 40%?

or if it's after connecting to NET (and you have google gallery / music)?

Thanks!

J.

ps. next android should solve the one-app-one-store-one-scan nightmare..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] zenida:
NativeSD with MAGLDR and full wipe...everything seems to work. But it's too early to know how stable it is
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ducati:
HI ,

Love the Rom. Installen on NAND, : If you change colour of statusbar, after reset it jumps back to standard . But this is just a remark :) otherwise all is fine.

thanks,
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tw1st3d83:
almost 24h on this ROM and everything is fine except Wi-Fi,it disconect's from time to time and forgets password... everything else working just fine and battery life is very good... AWESOME! :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
What is your deployment - bootloader/connection type?

Could you please get logcat shared somewhere?

Thanks, J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tw1st3d83:
MAGLDR+tytung+NAND-DataOnEXT+RMNET

please tell me what app to use to get a logcat? tnx
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
If you have desktop connected: QtADB: http://qtadb.wordpress.com/

or from your device: aLogcat: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tw1st3d83:
ok,i downloaded "alogcat" from play store and installed it... so my question is: do i just run app and save then upload that log or to wait wi-fi to disconnect and then send you a log?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tw1st3d83:
here is curent log
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
yes, turn it on and wait for a wifi issue, then save&share.

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tw1st3d83:
ok... i will post it when hapens then...

Sipdroid crashes

Sipdroid crashes when phone call connects. Same with pacman build.

Could you please grab some logcat around the crash?

What is your config: bootloader/connection?

Do you have GTalk /GNow installed?

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] melando:
Any reason why odex script for 1.x would not work with 2.x?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wwchang:
More specific - which script? ...included with the installer process, or with the stand-alone tool?

Can anyone else confirm this?

In PA-HD2 v2.54 the odex option is select off by default.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
New installer

I'm going to upload a new installer with all the old tools included: you will be able to use the package to

- install the ROM,

- change (install/remove) applications packed together with the installer,

- change kernel/connection,

- reODEX.

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
Note: nothing new in the rom, only installer is universal now...

What could be wrong with my installation?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
What does don't recognize means? after booting up you cant see it or NativeSD type of install failed?

If you start up the installer, there is on info screen listing your system/data/sdcard/sd-ext partitions with size/available details. Do you have your SDCARD listed there?

Could you please share your dmesg/logcat?

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Lycox:
After booting up, it's not visible.

SD-Card in installer shows me:

SD Card Size: 12.939MB

Free: 12.374

Where can I find the logcat?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
Which was your prev ROM? Could you please save all content from card and format it in WIN?

I prefer to use QtADB: http://qtadb.wordpress.com/

start up, to to term and exec dmesg > /data/dmesg.txt

also do a mount output please.

If you have minitool part wiz, could you please capture a screen from your partitions?

The issues behind the missing sdcard:

- wrong FS: copy content to desktop, reformat, copy content back

- wrong partitions e.g. not primary, wrong order: use minitool to prepare the right layout

- usb is mounted on desktop and can not be accessed by the phone

R, J.

What was your install? what is your partition layout?

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
Could you please remove swap to test?

Also please report:

Had the same problem. Had to remove the battery and replace it.

I am running Nand CWM 400MB partition.

When i odexed the rom everything crashes. i couldnt even finish the setup
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tw1st3d83:
there is no more wi-fi issues on my phone... i don't know how or why but wi-fi works normal now like everything else on this rom... its AWESOME,finaly stable rom with low battery consumption... way to go man! :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] SalviaLover:
ROM runs smooth on my HD2 EU device. I used to have wifi and data connections issues that seem gone now though only two days of testing is not enough. The device does become unresponsive occasionally, but i guess it needs some fine tuning.

Yesterday I played around for some half an hour mostly checking mail and surfing the web and all was good. I then put it to sleep in my pocket and 5 min later when I had to place a phone call it went completely unresponsive when I tried to open the dialer.

After 15 mins of displaying only the blue part of the dialer the screen went black into sleeping and never turned on again. Only hard buttons were getting lit if when I tried to unlock, screen remained black.

So i had to pull out the battery. Too bad I missed the call. It's funny how these smart phones often perform better in tasks other than doing phone calls.

Any idea what may be done to fix these intermittent crashes. Perhaps some memory fine tuning? Logs are always gone after reboot, so I've no idea what was up with it, I assume it went low on memory or some background process was consuming all resources.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
What is the type of your microSD?

Could you please get the partition info directly from android:

busybox fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
boot anim and odexing crashes are usually because you don't have enough space or the partitions are prepared how the ROM expects.

Please attache installer's log of reODEXing.

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
I had it twice with GO* apps - I had very low free memory and on call contacts tried to update its database. As I have a huge company dir synced to my contacts db, it stressed the card, got i/o wait >80% (!) and then system.server was restarted.

You can try to use other type if I/O scheduler and tune mem with ksm and purging assets but not zram!

+a logcat is useful if you have the same situation next time.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
I don't know why do you have the external with swap, but let's not touch it now. What you should do is to change the first, primary FAT32 type from 'c' to 'b'. This is something "old FAT32" compared to the type 'c' which means "new FAT32". If you can not do it with MTPW, than backup all your data and format it from recovery.

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Lycox:
Changing FAT-Type from c to b didn't worked. Did a fresh format from recovery... and... WORKS NOW :) Thanks for your effort :cool:

If you are going to use swap with PA-HD2, please share the results...

[HD2 Android NAND Development] gasanpride:

Try the Rom Toolbox from market. Performance tab> memory manager set to strict or aggressive. Tick Apply at boot. Might help

Could you please share the details? Thinking on adding it as an option to next installer.

Hello J. Are we going to see 4.2 on HD2 anytime soon?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
Well. I'm full with PA sources for SGS2, so if someone will build a CM10 for HD2 to be used as a new base, and PA sources will be aligned and tagged with new version, I'll put an update together.

...but I'll travelling starting next week Tuesday and then +2w holiday, so if I'll miss it, I won't be able to update it before mid-December.

...but I'm pretty sure one of you will use the new 2.1 (or 2.2 is upcoming) installer and put together an updated PA ROM.

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
Forgot to mention: if you use the new installer, you can get some 4.2 apps even with 2.54-2.1...

J.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kovjanos:
PA-HD2_v2.54-2.2

I got only 2 feedback notes from 2.54-2.1... Now those issues are fixed + added the swap on/off feature to the installer:

Please test the new package and let me know if it works...

I'll put it out to OP tomorrow after testing swap on my device tomorrow.

Hi kovjanos,

Please continue on this swap feature. I am sure lots of NativeSd diehard users would be interested on this.

I already have repartitioned my card and added 256 Linux swap to accommodate this. Do you think that would be enough?

iPhone 4s for sure! There's no comparison. Just the fact that you can customize the crap out of it should be reason enough. Not to mention the massive amounts of RAM, the mind numbingly awesometastic screen. Oh and the multitasking! You would be a fool to even consider the N4
