Is ext4 method faster than data.img? I would like to upgrade to v3.3 but I think I'll test ext4 at the same time :)

EDIT: Can someone tell me if I need to format the 2nd partition ext2 or ext3? There's no ext4 option, or do I have to use Ubuntu or something?

Forget that, I used Ubuntu. Now waiting for 3.3 upload to be complete :)

Where can I find a nls_utf8.ko compatible w your hastarin 8.6 or GPC kernel?

Mhhh now my HD2 makes after 10 sec a reboot
[HD2 Android SD Development] Taco123:
I don't have this behavior. Works like a charme.

Maybe start new with empty sd-card.

Then copy all the files you need and try to boot again..?

The only problem at the moment, i can't send any MMS. Someone with same problem? :confused:
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
please be patient, wait for my v3.3 upload, 1 hour left. :D

thank you very much for all the hard you've done ..

i want to change (framework & lib) files to add arabic support and right-to-left ..

should i change them from /framework and /lib in system folder or those in /squashed folder ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] darkony:
dand can you pls tell me if is it possible to use fat32,ext4 and wp7 partition at the same time

because all was fine with fat32+ext4 but when add wp7 adroid freaksout on every boot all widgets closes fc etc
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
i think i provide that update package already, anyway, you can just remove the files in /framework and /lib that you want to replace, and then put it in Update_DL/root/system/framework and Update_DL/root/system/lib, it will automatically copy to that place.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
actually i don't know what wp7 partition is, but if you want to use it, you should create your sdcard as below:

1. fat32

2. ext4 (for data)

3. ext4 (for swap)

4. wp7
[HD2 Android SD Development] darkony:
wp7 is windows phone 7 system partition and what size for swap

Copying now :), trying to use ext4. Will post impressions soon.

It's booting, it should be using ext4 since there's no data.img on the SD card. After I'm done with the setup, I'll install stock framework and test it.

Boot is done, finally.. took longer than before(but it's the first time using ext4, and the first time I'm trying v3.3

[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
there's no system.img -_-'
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
yes, this package is dedicated for SD/MAGLDR, no system.img anymore. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
you did a great job with this, it is much easier to install(no need to install fixes and things) and it seems faster. I'm rebooting now so that I can install stock framework and copy my things on the card.

Now that it is confirmed working, I'm moving it to my 8GB card. Using Ubuntu to copy it completely over to the other card. It should work..

Doesn't work, I can't copy the files.. Fresh install to the 8GB card, no big deal, I just booted it and completed the setup, no more.

OMG, Ubuntu keeps giving errors.. It's so annoying. Does anyone know a program that can format ext4 in windows?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
hehe ,how about the performance? we got 2973 on nand build, for SD, if somebody get > 3000, i will not be surprised. :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
you no need to format it manually, i already built in with format_ext4 facility which will format the ext4 much better than anything else. just set the format_ext4=1 in the config.txt

V3.3

Hello,

i'm doing the WP7 on Nand and Android on SD Dualbootthing.

I've extracted the SD build on the FAT32 partition from my SD and i dont have any Ext Partitions or something like that.

When i try to boot your V3.3 from SD via MAGLDR 1.2 the green HTC sign shows up and after 5s my phone reboots.

i tried to set the Bootmode to 2, but the same result.

Do i need additonal partitions or do i have to edit the config.txt in a special way or what is my failure?

Thanks for your work!
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
yeah but there has to be a ext4 partition for it to be formatted.. I couldn't get Ubuntu to format it. I successfully did it.. I formatted it ext3 with minitool partion wizard(windows) and then to ext4 in Ubuntu. Now it should boot.
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
there is a init.log on the root of your sdcard, you need to post it here.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Com.Chakotey:
So installed the new v3.3

Performance is really GREAT ;)

But @the moment i can't connect with HTC Sync 3? Is that normal?
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
damn, crashed on jumping to kernel.. trying again.

it boots now. I hope it really boots :)
[HD2 Android SD Development] Aandi87:
Think i solved the problem, i've renamed the Folder of your ROM from Desire_DL to Android... After naming it back to Desire_DL it boots further and atm i see this red round thing on my screen. So i let it boot now.

Thank you
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
you have to install the FDHttpd.apk manually.

maybe this helps to find the error

[HD2 Android SD Development] nvandenbosch:
That is right, if you look in the My Apps screen, the chosen applications appear. If you re-install in the end you can see it says "Download failed" or something alike (it's in Dutch for me).
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
I'm no dev, but try using the original folder name(Desire_DL). And from the looks of the file, it keeps finding errors in system.ext2. Try redownloading and recoying it.

How can I fix that, because I start with Android-QuickStartButton from GoatripWinMob6.5?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
you may use existing data.img which has different /cache with this new version, either use a new data.img or do the following and reboot:

adb shell rm -r /data/cachemnt

adb shell rm /cache

btw, I use exactly same build with SD and Nand, some answer you can find in my nand thread.

it does.. try turning it on/off, it should work. It works fine for me.

Hi Dandiest:

Thanks for your hard work to provide us a great Rom for HD2. Would you mind to give us a clear schedure to flash the newest V3.3 ROM ?(Because of too many ROM and fix file in our PC, almost confuse!!!) Sould I replace the bugfix as shah_vm says or not?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
you may need to remove the whole folder and install again.
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
I'm working on this, if I sucseed, I'll post how I did it. I know that you have to use adb(android sdk). If your USB is working, enable USB debugging. Open CMD/Terminal and cd to the adb directory. The type adb devices, and yours should be there. From there I'm not sure, it's something with adb connect. My USB doesn't work, so I'm trying wifi adb.

@dandiest Which folder should I delete? from what I can see, those adb commands delete cachemnt from ext4/data. Should I delete it and make it again? It is empty BTW. Oh and how do I install framework manually?
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
always use the version i put on 1st post, others I posted in the thread were for testing only.
[HD2 Android SD Development] Com.Chakotey:
i erase the whole SD Card and format it with FAT32.

Now i reinstall v3.3 but i think i need the 1GB Data Image....with the 512MB on the first reboot comes: you need at least XXXMB more Storage.

I only would like wifi and HTC sync to work then i am really satisfied and my Sunday is rescued ;)
[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
no need, system will recreate and set it correctly. that's the reason i asked to remove it.

you remove the existing framework-res.apk from /system/framework 1st, then put you res at Update_DL/root/system/framework/
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
Market still doesn't work BTW. I'm gonna try fresh install with data.img.

Hi all

To clarify things

The ver 3.2 with the 1gb image file was working fine with me....

I did 2 setups in my 2 sd cards both with partitions (fat32+ext4+swap)

and bothe cards work fine....Both times i use the 1 gb image file...

Now i try to setup the 3.3 final and try to do this without the imag file...

I allways stack on HTC logo screen...

SD cards are partitioned as above ....

I exctracted the folder desire_dl in the root of my sd card and my

config.txt is as this one

boot_mode=1

swap_mode=2

sd_boost=1

format_ext4=1

gps_zone=europe

STack on HTC Logo ...... ANY HELP ?????

What a shame...after all this hard work you did. Anyway thank you.
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
There's no system/framework.. just dropbox, registered_services, shared_prefs, sync, throttle, and usagestats...

Booting again, changed a few things in config, format_ext4=1, sd_boost=1 and put root and update folders back to desire_dl.. If it still doesn't work, I may be going back to 3.2 :(

Sorry guys but I really need a simple support

I don't have partition (and I don't need) on my sd 4gb (formatted)

And i don't want to flash my phone or something like maglar....

If I download the v.3.3 and do this (like on first post):

Installation:

For version above v3.0

- extract "Desire_DL" folder on the root of your SD card

- put a data.img file into that folder which you can download here 1Gdata.7z

- change the config.txt to what you want.

- Run "CLRCAD.exe" then "haret.exe"

Android will be function or not?

Sorry but i'm really ignorant about O_o and now I just want to "try" Android not change completely my OS

Then I still must do this, like 3.2 ver or not?

? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10934684&postcount=2034

Last question...this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10999799&postcount=2056 (always posted in the first post) is it only for Maglar way or this is the only method to get Android?

[HD2 Android SD Development] dandiest:
from the log" Android path is /bootsdcard/DESIRE	" instead of Desire_DL,

there should be something wrong with the folder.
[HD2 Android SD Development] freemini:
@diegior If you want data.img, then you just copy Desire_DL to your sd card. You DON'T need any fixes for it to work. However, if you're using 3.2, I recommend staying there because I can't get Market to work on 3.3. I also can't install the stock framework. I used ext4 for my tests, so data.img may be different. I'm trying that now.

So, just copy and run clr and haret.
[HD2 Android SD Development] BigBoi:
Could it be that you changed something in your initrd.gz? Because Johnny4911 changed that and could boot and in emottier's log it's the same as in mine.
[HD2 Android SD Development] bteljuice:
Tried that, would freeze on PREPARING SD CARD (I am using MADLGR).

When the 3.3 will function total I will format again the sd put the new Desire_DL into SD card and "CLRCAD.exe then "haret.exe" nothing more?

You should be able to do it, but dandiest recommends to leave it Desire_DL.
