waste of capacity, since any extra you give it will not be used for anything. (A small amount is useful to bypass problems with bad blocks, and/or flash rom updates that install straight to the system partition - i generally give mine an extra 10meg

plus an additional 5 or so for teh recovery partition...

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

the filesize command in red tells the system to create the partition the size required for recovery-raw.img

so 425 or so, ,, and yes, this is about normal.

Dont forget that size and capacity are different things, , , go out and buy a 200gig hard disk,. , get it home and format it, you'll find its capacity is actually about 186gig.

(Yes i am aware that file system overhead will not account for an extra 80 meg or so, I cant answer exactly why it doesn't add up to 512, , , the radio / spl / splashcreen1 / splashcreen 2 partitions maybe?)

dont lose any sleep over it, none of us add up to 512

Thanks :)

So what should be done here is use app2sd to move my apps to sdcard right?

The installation tutorial mentioned steps that i could do while installing the ROM to make the app2sd process automatic.

Can i still do that post-rom-installation or do i need to restart the process?

Thanks again :)

Corporate Exchange EvoHd2Ics v9

I downloaded this awesome from, seems the most stable and fast ICS yet for SD hd2, but it seems to be missing exchange in acts/sync. Anyone else, and is there an fix before I go tweaking this nearly perfect from?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
depends on teh rom. Typhoon for instance, is automatic. So long as there is an ext partition on teh sd card (make one in cwm - advanced - create ext or something, i forget the menus, been a while since i did it, since once its made its made) then typhoon will automatically use it. Other roms, its either built in but disabled, or you instal it yourself, and i 'think' (never done it manually) that you issue a command in teh terminal to activate it, then reboot and it moves stuff and creates all teh symlinks and what not.

Readings your best bet, there are several 'how to make / use an ext partition, using app2sd blahblah ' threads, read a few, you'll pick it up.

The confusing part is that there are several scripts. Generally though, the thread of teh rom you are using will tell you which one works for that rom.

Make teh ext partition now, and you can worry about an ap2sd script later.

htc hd2 will not stay powered on

has anyone come across this problem?

i connect my charger and the phone will automatically boot up

as soon as i disconnect the charger it turns off

i thought it was the battery and bought a new one and i still have the same problem

i followed the instructions on how to remove the windows os and installed ics using nand, magdlr, radio 2.08, hspl

the phone worked fine for a few months then the battery got really hot and i removed it

i reinstalled battery charged it and it worked fine again but then a few weeks ago i started have the no power problem

anyone have a fix to this or know why this is happeneing
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYLimited:
Magldr turns the phone on when it is plugged in. This is normal.

If the battery is not charging/charged it will turn off when unplugged.

Take out the battery and look at the 3 contacts in the device. They need to line up correctly with the back of the phone. If one is pointing outward (usually the middle one) bend it back GENTLY so it lines up again, put the battery back and let it charge.

Hi, I've recently installed NexusHD2-JellyBean-CM10.1 V2.1 CyanogenMod 10.1 on my HTC HD2. Before that I was running WM 6.5.3 for like 3 years. It was a custom ROM with support of russian language. More than half of my contacts names were written in russian, so before I installed the android on my phone I have transferred all my contacts over to my other phone, samsung, which is running android 2.1 and is completely standard and in english, via bluetooth. The phone recognised the contacts names that were in english, but not the russian ones. I thought it was fine as the NexusHD2-JellyBean has russian support and when I transfer them back onto the HD2 it will be able to read them. :silly: Unfortunately that did not happen and now most of my contacts names look like this: Ð•Ð»ÐµÐ½Ð° Ð“ÐµÐ½Ð°Ð´Ð¸ÐµÐ²Ð½Ð°(49). If anyone has any suggestions on how that could be fixed, or at least how I can change the formating of the vCard files that I have on my PC, so that I could at least see the names and re-enter them manually into the phone, it would be greatly appreciated. :fingers-crossed: And the more descriptive you are, the better, cause I am clearly not very smart when it comes to this.

Contacts?

I have recently changed over to an android rom but can't see any of my contacts anymore. I'm new to these things. Is this a bug or a feature? Is there any way i can get my contacts back from my old system. Aren't they stored in my SIM card? Will i have to manually add them all back? Thanks!

Edit: By the way when i connect my phone to my computer by usb it does get charged but doesn't open up storage.

Another problem is that it can't see the hotspot that i've created in its wifi search. The hotspot is created by using connectify and its a 3g connection. Why can't it see this connection? Just something extra anywa.

Connection problem was fixed by switching encryption mode to WPA2 from WEP.

I was recently given a HTC HD2 and found out that it can be upgraded with other OS. I've been researching and wanted to install Android ICS or Jelly Bean on it.

However, i got stuck because i cant seem to install MAGLDR on my htc. One of the option upon installing is to "get an ActiveSync connection" or something like that while trying to install MAGLDR. Here's the thing, im running a Win 7 Pro and it comes with a WMDC 6.1 and it cant connect with the phone.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I just wanted to know - Have the developers finally given up on the HD2 ??

Since the beginning of this year, there has been very little development on the HD2. In the meantime Paranoid Android has reached ver 4 and MIUI has reached Ver 6.. But nothing on the HD2. I also read in a thread that OMNI ROM was being developed for HD2 but nothing further.

Also a Resurrection Remix ROM was released in a very haphazard incomplete manner and left as it is - no further development was done.

All this has raised questions in my mind. I have been flashing ROMs on my HD2 since Gingerbread was around. I believe the best phase of development was when ICS and JB were being developed. But now everything has almost come to a stop. Which is sad. I still use my HD2 with WP 7.8 on NAND and a few SD and Native SD ROMs on SDcard. But have the developers given up? Any news would be much appreciated.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pakure:
1. Download the app.

2. Transfer the app to your phone and place in a folder you will remember placing it in on your SD Card

3. Download Astro File Manager from market

5. Once installed open Astro.

6. Go to the folder you put the application in

7. Click the app once (a Pop Up should appear) and choose open app manager (or words to that effect).

8. Click install once (you may get a Pop Up saying its blocked from installing just go to the settings and check the "Unknown Applications").

If you get a file with the app name and a extension that's like app name here.txt just use Astro and rename it to app name here.apk and do steps 7 and 8.

(or)

an easy method is to attach the file as a gmail attachment and mail to yourself..then open it on the phone and install the file.

or use dropbox...install it both on phone and pc...drag, drop files in pc... open dropbox on phone, sync over wifi/3g...open file, install.

Hi pakure !

Unfortunately I have the issues with radios other than 2.06.51.07 with my basic HTC HD2 1.66 ROM GER function. As posted after having flashed radios 2.08 and higher (tried 5 differnt radios) my HD2 on WinMo/Sense had laggy or no reception, WiFI router stopped working, downloads were interrupted etc. etc.

I didn´t come that far to install Android at all since the basic function of my HD2 was not working with other radios. So I would need an Android build that works with Radio 2.06.51.07

hi troed, did you try the x.xx.50 versions of radio instead of 51...it seems that 50 versions run without much problems...refer the energy rom thread.

also, did you try changing the rilphone.dll, in case you are having problems?

(What is rilphone.dll?

* rilphone.dll is a Windows Mobile "driver" that tells to your OS what are the commands suitable for your Radio ROM. When a new Radio ROM is released, sometimes a new rilphone.dll will come with it because a new radio may contain a new command for a different scope (battery optimization, best signal calibration, etc..)

*-Why change rilphone.dll?

* Replacing your rilphone.dll is a dangerous task and it should be done only if you experience real problems with your current one. Remember that rilphone is an essential library for your phone to work correctly, so.. you can break the phone part of your ROM or make it to work correctly with your current radio (but in any case this can't break your device's hardware). In short, replace it only if you know what are you doing!!

Dear pakure !

Yes, I´ve tried all of them posted in the radio thread and of course took care about the rilphone.dll (I always stick painstakingly to installation procedures described by the chefs :D), but all of them worked only partly with my ROM and unfortunately I cannot dismiss any of the basic radio HD2 functions (3g, HSPA, WiFi, BT, Wireless Router, Phoning (!) ) since I need them for everyday work functioning reliably .........

So I didn´t come THAT far to install any Android build since it is stated clearly they won´t work with any radio lesser than 2.08. xxxx.
