[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pocoryu:
OK, so, my phone started displaying a static like image when I unlocked it, then eventually led to only working if I slid the screen up. I decided this may be a problem with the firmware so went to install Cyanogen 7.2 (I think it was) so I formatted system and the Cyanogen mod didn't install. Now my CWM only works when it feels like it, other times it sticks on the DoomKernal screen. If I try and put my phone into flash/fastboot mode the LED on the top will flash the colour which corresponds to the right mode, but after that it goes back to the DoomKernal screen.

Is there any way to fix this?

Running fpse on our phone and outputting it to the tv usually yields low fps. Couple questions.

1. Is the phone rendering the process twice and therefore giving poor fps?

2. If that is the case, would that be something to discuss with kernel/rom developers or the developer of fpse?

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blondie72903:
Hi all,

I've been lurking on the site for a couple years and am finally getting the courage to post a question.

I have been using a version of the ManualNooter since I got my NC and it's been going great. I can't bring myself to get rid of the BN software for good. This weekend I decided to wipe it and update all the files finally, so I updated to BN 1.4.3 and MN5, got the market working eventually and made a back-up of the whole thing. I was reading about repartitioning to the older settings to get 5gb of storage for apps, etc and would like to do that because I had just started getting messages that I had no more room on my NC. So I used the instructions from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14102514. I restore my backup and it doesn't seem to work anymore, I can see my wallpaper, and the BN menu/home tray but no MN stuff, so I wiped it and tried again and got the same result. So I'm wondering is it even possible to repartition for the extra storage if I'm using ManualNooter? Is an SD card my only option unless I want to do a complete root? Or did I do something wrong somewhere?

Thanks in advance!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If you are having problem restoring your backup, I would just start over. I have a partition repair thread linked in my signature. Do the partition 145678 repair followed by the format 5678 zip. Those will give you the old partition layout with the 5GB media partition. Everything will be blank. Then go to my NC tips thread also linked in my signature and look at item A15. It puts vanilla 1.4.3 stock on the system. Then do mn5 again. Then reinstall your apps manually.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blondie72903:
Issue with market now

So i did everything you said and it seemed to work, when I go to settings > device info : it says B&N Content Storage Available .92GB and Other Storage Available 5.23GB, is that correct?

Now I just can't get the Android Market to update to Google Play, which it had done previously, and the fix from the ManualNooter5 instructions, below, did not work:

Market has limited visibility - This is a known tablet issue, not just a Nook Color one.

Start Nook Color Tools

Select the "All Settings" button

Unplug your Nook Color from computer. (If Plugged in.)

Choose "Manage Applications" from the list

Select the "All" tab

Scroll down to "Market" and select it

Tap "Force stop"

Tap "Clear cache"

Tap the back button if you have SoftKeys running, else swipe right to left on the status bar at the bottom of the screen (from the clock to the book icon)

Scroll up to "Google Services Framework" and select it

Tap "Clear data"

Tap "OK"

Tap "Force stop"

Press the n button to return to your launcher

Start Market

At the "An error has occurred" message, tap "OK"

Hold your power button to turn off your Nook Color from the menu

Turn your Nook Color back on and give it a moment to find your WiFi connection

Start Market again, and the problem is resolved

So I can't get any apps, how am I supposed to download them manually? Any other ideas? I'm about to give up and just go back to the regular MN and limit the apps I download at a time.

Thanks again!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Boags:
Aaaah I hear you say, another one, it's about time, welcome to the dark side, etc etc... Yeah yeah I know, it's about time I went from WM6.5 to Android.

Reasons why I stayed with Windows ? I liked the sync between MsOutlook and my device using USB and NOT "the cloud". Sadly the new versions of Windows (7 and 8) don't allow this anymore so I reluctantly joined "the cloud" (Google Apps for Education, it's free).

Now, I am ready to switch to Android, but, ... which version ? which ROM ? how does it install ? straightfoward ?

Can anyone recommend a good ROM that :

- contains HTC Sense

- is fast

- is easy to install (go easy guys, I work, live and breathe Msoft, it's my job, yeah I know, but it pays the bills)

- is in English

- is up-to-date

- is free :)

Thanks very much.

PS : I'd rather keep my history (SMS mostly) as they contain a lot of info, so far I've used PPCPimBackup, does that work cross-platform ?

Thanks, I'm happy just formatting WM6, no dual boot.

It's not a Tmobile it was bought without a plan or anything so I'm pretty free in that regard.

Any suggestion for a "clean install" ROM ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
I'm pretty sure nobody's thinking 'it's about time, welcome to the dark side' but more along the lines of 'oh FFS, another thread asking about the best ROM and how to install it'. If you'd have searched, you'd have found a few hundred threads exactly like this, and multiple guides on installing Android.

Anyway, try the guide in my sig for an easy installation process (also read the new user guide too). Nobody can tell you the best ROM (that's entirely subjective) or a 'fast' Sense based ROM (well at least not in my opinion).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AthenaLod:
AFAIK Sense is a bit slow in Android on the HD2, and other options are better, try them and judge for yourself.

As for SMS, this is what I used when I made the switch long time ago, and it worked smoothly.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bryan_0906:
If you want a rom you can customize visually, try MIUI. It has a tons of themes so you won't get bored easily, it even has an HTC sense theme. If not try one of the CM builds. Gingerbread roms are more stable but if you want the newer android features like Google Now and some new apps do require ICS+ go for one of the ICS or Jellybean builds. If i were you i'd just try a few roms before completely settling on one and installing all your data etc. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Boags:
OKay thank you both for your help. I managed to install "Nexus JellyBean" on my HD2... It wasn't as straightforward as I'd hope (there are a lot of prerequisites to Android, it's not just next-next-next you're done but anyways).

So yeah it runs, everything works, but there's a bit "but". It's slow as hell. And I mean sluggishly slow. I've only connected to Gmail, Hotmail and Facebook. Nothing else. No GPS, no WiFi, nothing.

A test : on the main screen, open Gmail. Wait for four seconds for the emails to be displayed. Close Gmail (there is no "close" application in fact, once it's opened, it stays as an open process and runs in the background). Open "Internet" and wait for ten seconds for google.com to be opened (either on Wifi or on 3G). Go back to the main screen takes forever again, then open Gmail again, wait for another five seconds, etc etc etc.

Seriously, it's bloody awful.

So, maybe it's because the HD2 wasn't meant to run on Android and I'd be better off with WM65, or maybe this build of Android isn't the fastest I can find, but then, can anyone tell me what build I should be running ? There seems to be so freaking many available it's no wonder "noobs" like me ask silly questions "which is best"..

I just booted the HD2, went to Settings/Apps/RAM : 235used and 174free... And I haven't even started using any apps...

So far then, not convinced...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bryan_0906:
I won't get into the details bec theres already tons of threads about it but

Have you flashed a new radio that unlocks the HD2 ram to 512mb?

As I said, Gingerbread roms are the most stable and fastest so I suggest you go for one of them. ICS & Jelly roms aren't 100% there yet.

I'd suggest installing on nand with data on EXT partition if your SD card isn't that fast.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Boags:
Txs, i don't know, I thought I had it flashed under WM65 :

None of these mean much to me, I'm still learning :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
1. He must have a .50 radio if he's successfully running NAND Android.

2. It unlocks 576MB of RAM, not 512.

@OP, Either go for GB or basically learn to live with it if you want the latest and greatest Android version. GB will be faster and more stable for daily use BUT won't have HWA so you won't have anywhere near as smooth an experience in web browsing and gaming. For your own sake don't go for a Sense ROM, they're just as 'slow' as JB or ICS. MIUI and CM7 are both great, I personally prefer CM but it's really down to your preference. Try them both then make a decision. CM has less eye candy and is far less iOS like but both are fast.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Boags:
Okay thanks, slowly learning the "language" :)

Currently dowloading "Gingerbread" (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905060) and wiping "JellyBean"... (the guy who finds these names should get a job at the place where they name tropical cyclones:laugh:)

Keep you posted.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
If you need any help with 'learning the language' check the guide in my sig which says 'A guide to all of the terms for the HD2'. It makes things pretty simple, and definitely helped me quite a lot the first time round.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Boags:
So I "downgraded" from Jellybean to Gingerbread and though it's not superfast it's a lot better.

How can I tell my radio is the version that "unleashes" the max RAM ? I recall it was the latest available on WM65...

Any "tweaks" to make it faster ? A few apps often hang for a couple of seconds before they're available...

Still, it's a pretty cool platform I must agree, a shame Msoft never could be as good. Haven't seen the new WM though...

Thanks for all your help, and have a great 2013 !:good:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Don't worry, you definitely have a compatible radio version. The guy who posted about the RAM thing earlier was basically just spamming for 10 posts.

Not to confuse you, but if you want speed, stability and functionality and don't use many apps then Windows Phone may actually be the way to go. There are obviously some apps which simply aren't available on Windows Phone yet including huge ones like Instagram and (I think) Temple Run but the OS is really wonderful to use and beats Android in terms of fluidity.

Anyway, congrats on flashing and sorry about the rudeness of my first post in this thread :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Boags:
Sweet, so this is as best as it will ever get I suppose. Not a LOT slower than WM65 in reality, just a tad. Loads more potential tho, with the widgets and apps and stuff out there. I'll keep it simple anyways.

Still, you're probably the only person who, though a true Linux-Android fan, has publicly admitted Microsoft does it better, well in some occasions anyways : speed and stability is what most "professional" crowd need (a smartphone that does push-email, sync their contacts database and calendar with whatever server they're using, with the occasional websurfing, facebooking, tweeting or linkedin-ing).

Having worked with Msoft for over 15 years now, I had to try Android to at least understand what the fuss was all about, well I've seen it. I'll keep it for now, but I'm not convinced I won't switch back to WM one day.

I tried NeXTstep and BeOS once, loved them both as they were way ahead of their times, but sadly they could never been used as a professional tool. I think I can say the same for Android...

PS @Nigeldg, don't sweat it bro. No offence taken.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Yeah I think people often make the mistake of assuming that all fans of one thing simply hate the alternative, which often isn't true. Different things suit different people, I'd definitely recommend an iOS or Windows Phone to my Mum for example over an Android phone because they're more simple. I can only really respect someone's opinion when they know that there are always arguments for and against a certain point, if they don't then there's really very little valid input they can make in any discussion.

Also, I don't think you should really judge Android by your experience with the HD2, that would be like making a decision between a PS3 and an Xbox based on having played Viva Pinata on the Xbox and Killzone on the PS3. Android is a very nice OS and you really need the hardware to appreciate it. Having used Android on a GNex and a Nexus 4 (which I'm still waiting to order :rolleyes:) I can safely say it's now as smooth as iOS and Windows Phone if you get a decent phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] o82239:
Hi,

why don't you use WM6.x and Android on the same phone (via dualboot/tripleboot/...)? You can use the advantages of both OS and only need to wait 1 min. to boot the other one... see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33988958

I use different Android-Versions, because no version can all I need... and I use WM, because I have some great payed apps... it's great...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Boags:
I don't want dual boot because I'm not looking for one solution, this exercise was just to test if a) I was able to do it, b) Android has what I need.

The answer is yes for the first questions (with help), but the second question has mixed results. Yes it runs, and yes I can do what I was doing on WM, but nothing more. Which leads me to my next question when I do decide to replace the HD2 by a new phone (because I need 4G and because I like new things, don't we all:o) : will I buy an Android or a Windows-based phone ?

My next challenge would be to test an iPhone:p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
If you can get your hands on a decent Android phone (preferably a Nexus device), a decent Windows Phone (e.g. Lumia 920, 8X) and an iPhone (doesn't matter which one, they're all the same :P) then try them all out and see which one you prefer. Again, I urge you not to judge Android by your experience with an HD2. You can do a LOT more than you can on WM, but if you're not going to use apps then I guess Windows Phone is the best for you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Boags:
Correct, in my case, all I need from my smartphone is the content of my office synchronized and available at all times. I get that Android does that, more or less anyways, and it does it pretty well, almost as well as WM (SharePoint for instance, is not 100% available on Android, or some Exchange features either), and probably but I haven't tested it yet, an iPhone.

All I can say is this : where WM is a dull tool that works very well, Android is a fun gadget that works okay. So yeah, if I want cool apps and fun widgets and all bells and whistles, sure, Android is what I'd go for ; but if all I need is a tool that works reliably, even if it lacks excitement, I'd got for a WM.

I guess it's like comparing a Koenigsegg CCXR with a Landrover 110...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Agreed, if you're very business-oriented then Windows MOBILE 6.5 (not Windows Phone 7) is probably the best OS available, especially with some custom ROMs which make it more usable. If you want to use the phone for anything more than calls, texts and emails then Android is better.

what I decided on

Ive tried everything from sense,to,gb,to 4.2 on our lovely hd2,its def no galaxy thats for sure,but when it came down to it I settled for a gb rom,the lil things on 4.0 started to bug me,like not being able to send a video mms,netflix not working properly,for me every feature I needed was in gb,the main thing I miss from 4.1 is google now an customizing the lockscreen,I seemed more attached to the aokp roms thats for sure put the pacman rom seamed the best as far as file size an features,in the end I settled for a rom that doesn't get much talk on here an only takes up a 100mb of your system partition and seems to have the best response time of any rom I have ever ran on my hd2,so if your looking for speed try oxygen its kind of won me over for a least a week till i decided to go flash crazy again..lol heres the link for it.
