[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] meletios:
Am using nexus band build currently previously was on(in descendind order) mdj ram gingerbread,mdj desire HD SD, darkstone etc...

fair to say I have used a few..I had started playing with it mainly from curiosity..as with most of software developers I guess ;)...but have now reached a stage where I don't have quite the same time..so looking a for a stable os build now..at the same time as someone mentioned before did feel a sense of betrayal when MS blocked all ways of officially upgrading to WinPho7..which I think would have been beneficial to them..anyway..here's my observation..

SD...

+ves...

-- build easily swapped

-- dual boot

-- good for experimenting

-ves

-- unstable..some kind of FC always happens

-- high battery drain

-- dual boot

-- good for experimenting only

-- r/w are slow to very slow(on class 6)

-- makes is multitasking redundant..as I/O is always synchronous ultimately.

NAND

-ves...

- few extra steps and time for swapping build

-- memory space restriction though there are talks on the band forums of taking a semi winpho7 route..

-- experimenting not that easy to do..

-- can not use winnow readily...

+ves...

-- very stable

-- very lo w battery usage..first time saw 2mah on standby

-- everything working on my build, yes everything :

there are many more..but my post is already very long now...waiting for mdj NAND gingerbread to have a working GPS and camera and I will be done...as my objective would be met..and a happy man then ..ie when it happens..so mostly one more install and that's it...

in a nutshell depends what u want

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
I used Tytung's build almost exclusively when they first came out. His build was the absolute only Nexus One-based build that remained smooth with the G2 launcher full of widgets on every one of the 7 screens. All of the other Nexus One-based builds would begin to get herky-jerky and sluggish as soon as 4 or 5 screens were full of widgets. But I quit Tytung builds because the later version all had a touchscreen issue that Tytung blamed on the kernel. The touchscreen would intermittently lose contact with the finger ...seen best in Angry Birds where holding the slingshot back, it would launch all by itself. Or when moving a widget or quicklink around a screen, it would settle itself before getting to where you intended it.

However, the fault of the kernel can't be true for the touchscreen issue because the very same kernel used in any other build would not have the touchscreen issue. In fact, the Tytung build is the only build I've had that issue with.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reorx24:
I personally am not in a rush

The rush is from all the willing NAND beta testers

Im waiting for a complete Gingerbread NAND port before taking the plunge

Question: Can I still run SD card Android builds from a NAND android rom? i know the answer is yes, but how exactly is it done? Ala clcrd then haret like in winmo?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
Not sure, but I believe magldr contains all of the drivers these WinMo-using SD builds run from. They would simply look to magldr for operation rather than WinMo.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gigaboss:
The only reason I flashed NAND was stability. Indeed, with ram and SD builds, I would get data corruption all the time which was very very very annoying.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DancingFlame:
I'm too in the [SD] crowd. Simpy because I cannot just get rid of WinMo. It's not that ugly anyway.

I'm a big fan of iGo 8.3. And there is no way to get the iGo in Android. That POS they call 'iGo Amigo' has the worst UI I ever experiences in navigation software. So I need a dual boot... unless Nav'n'Go releases iGo for Android with 8.3 interfaces.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
with NAND

- you boot in less than half the time

- you get instant wakeups from sleep without delay

- you get stable RMNET based 3G data connection that is as fast as PPP

- clearly more responsive (faster) system

- usb mass storage mode now working properly

- no more dependant on winmo rom you are using, means standardized bootloader will have fewer problems, also you won't get corrupt winmo anymore

- you will get wp7 soon if you want

- you can still boot Android from sd if you want (including dual boot ability)

- this is the way to go, since focus is on nand rom development, newer features will probably be on nand versions.

yes it is more difficult to learn how to update kernels/roms with nand but after you learn how to do it, why would it be more difficult? native android phones did it like this all the time

and also the obvious: if you don't want nand, you may continue using sd, nothing is mandatory.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] romskii:
but i can switch back to Windows Mobile if i want?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jaka.erc:
Yes you can. You just flash it like you normally would. :)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
I think one big negative might be the hatred for WinMo. All the devs seem to have abandoned SD builds altogether. This shows that they hate WinMo and want nothing to do with it. What this means, unless there happen to be devs that don't mind WinMo, is those of us who like WinMo and want to stay with SD builds are left out in the cold.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] newbro:
Ok I laughed at that :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Easemypain:
for me. it is not fixed with nand !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
I gave it a try and it didn't work. Wouldn't flash the Android build. So back to faithful WinMo and SD builds.

EDIT - I think I know why it didn't work. There is no DAF.exe. The only thing I saw was "Install" application. I clicked it but it wouldn't install. I guess the dev forgot to include the DAF.exe (according to the flash instructions thread)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Some of the ROMs come with install.exe and some come with DAF.exe, but they are the same thing.

The problem you reported has been discussed a lot on other threads, and is nothing to do with XP (where did this "it doesn't work on XP bull come from?????")

You need to disable activesync before trying to flash the Android ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MartyLK:
I read the official instructions and they said nothing about disabling Activesync. I saw a dev post that Win7 installer was included. I asked about whether this worked in WinXP and got no reply. So, I assumed it didn't work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Yes mate - you assumed ;)

Finally got Android installed. Did what the outstanding CHTEditor creator said to do, disable Activesync...thanks, by the way... and I was able to flash a ROM. However, I wasn't too impressed with the first one so I'm looking at an m-deejay ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chris_ah1:
Gauner's HD 0.3 is one of the older ones and works superbly - don't forget to update kernels. I would advise staying away from gingerbread - perhaps MDJ HD revolution (although i don't like the theme). For what it's worth, the DFT build was superb....and if you want to make sure you have space (and don't mind losing htcsense.com), CMN or stock roms without sense are superb.

I must admit, using Darkstone's RAM 1.5 (stock droid), was a very good experience - I should have tried a recent CM tho.

Oh yes - zero data dropouts on NAND - amazing!!

And my signal strength is more reliable.

And yes, no force closes or write issues bludgeoning the life of my SD card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 20mihalko:
NAND also has limited write cycles...

You can check programs... some program may be is draining a lot of power.

Did you test with clean ROM, without any installed programs?

Anyone else find that there is some lag in launching the system wide search (when at the home screen, you press the "search" soft key).

After pressing the search key, sometimes it takes 4 or 5 secs before you can start typing in the dialog box.

This is a shame because system wide search is really useful for quick access to apps and system settings.

I see a number of posts saying something similar to

"this will be fixed when we get kernel source"

But the source is linked on main support page at

http://tapntap.http.internapcdn.net/tapntap/viewsonic/gTablet-TapUI-1.1-Kernel-Patch.zip

Surely I cant be the person who found this? Maybe its not the actual kernel source?

Kernel source was release december 24th. The posts you saw were probably all older.

We've already fixed several critical bugs and enabled a bunch of new features in the kernel. Vegan beta 5 is now available with a kernel with the lag on wake issue fixed, working sd mounting, cifs/samba share, NTFS support in the kernel.

One small thing that really bugs me is the way the Twitter and Facebook Widgets resize themselves. After a reboot they are a neat and manageable small size as in the first picture. After an indeterminate period of time they transmogrify into the hideous and bloated size as seen in the second screenshot. Has anyone any idea why this happens and how to prevent it?

So, I've decided I'm going to use ROM Manager to flash a previous version of CWM (2.5.1.4). I'm currently running the 3.0.0.2 but feel stuck from all the reports I've been reading about the latest version not being compatible with older hboot and partitions. I'm scared to do anything...

Anyways, while in 3.0.0.0 I did a back up. Is this going to be compatible with the older version or should I do another one after flashing back?

Also, I don't remember it actually saying "nandroid". It just said "backup". This is the same I'm assuming as it took quite a while to do???

Ok, never mind. Apparently I'm trying to flash that older version and it keeps coming back with an error.

I restore a 2.x.x backup trough 3.x.x and had CWM 2.x.x then after I backed up some apps with titanium backup I went back to the rom I backed up with 3.x.x and all went fine.

Hey, you probably done all this... But thought I'd give a crack at it...

When trying to root using visionary

Quickly check these:

-did you have fastboot from >settings>applications turned off?

-was Set system r/w after root from visionary app checked?

-Temproot first

-Attempt permroot next

-Phone should reboot and you should see Super User app in the drawer.

Then follow the instructions here

If you wish to use root explorer to push the gfree file to /data/local you can do so too, its easier than adb commands.

Hope this helps. Good luck man.
