Hi iamgpc, I know you do not frequent XDA much anymore, hope you will be able to give me some response on this. I would like to boot Ubuntu on my phone, however, magldr doesnt allow for that, and there is no haret equivalent on Android for the moment. However, I read this from another thread in XDA:

"ask the cook of your android rom to enable kexec on the kernel in his next release, then you should be able to boot ubuntu from within android.

a bit like haret on windows."

Do you know what he is referring to? I tried testing whether your ROM supports kexec (I had to read it up from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kexec) using the app "Hot Reboot" but it sends me on a reboot everytime it boots up into Android. Hope either you, or anyone who understands what I am saying, is able to comment/respond to this inquiry. Is it possible to get Ubuntu loaded from your ROM?

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mydoooom:
I'm sorry, but I have made everything as clear as possible (but keep data). From the begining I have been using gpc's ROM's, flashing via "his" CWM. Right after download the ROM, it has been transfered to the SD card via USB mass storage on Android, but IMO it can't corrupt the ROM in any way. Color banding is OK if it appears only in Home screen.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nic.stl:
I don't have any color banding with 2.0.e
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mydoooom:
Can you see it on widgets, e. g. Music player or Control panel? If not, I should try this one :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nic.stl:
ok ...

in fact there are color banding but ... I saw them because you asked to check :D

For me: it doesn't matter and not noticable ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nic.stl:
checked on 1.9.d ... same things
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mydoooom:
Hmmm, interesting. In this XDA app, for example, theres no banding on startup animation (v1.9), but in 2.0 it has. It beats my eyes.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] :
2.0e

can already tell is much smoother faster than 2.0d adw ex is most noticeable
[HD2 Android NAND Development] hk2:
Since v1 i had same looking gradient. All other nand android have that.. i think no body is even trying to fix it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dimension2035:
Not for me. Im on 2.0e using luncher pro and its very laggy. But I think its because of fancy widget. Im going to revert back to 1.7 until a new update comes out.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nixeon:
Without risking sounding like a complete idiot what is colour banding.

I'm using 2.0e and it's working fine for me... speed is awsome and battery life is great no problems so far that I can tell.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nic.stl:
color banding is nothing important.

I didn't noticed it before "MYDOOOOM" asked to check.

not a problem for me ... ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mydoooom:
Colour banding a.k.a. gradients, is a graphical problem. For example, you have some pictures in 32-bit colour depth, but the system is using only 16-bit. You have some smooth transitions of a colour from dark to light, but it appears like “pixels” I couldn't explain it very well :) You can see it nicely on some widgets like Music Player or Control Panel.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nixeon:
Oh I get what you mean... I've just noticed it... never noticed before. I don't see it as a problem that stops you using the phone though.

Although I get why you would want it fixed as it seems like something very simple (note im not a developer so it's probably something very tricky to fix lol).

You watch its gonna start bugging me now I've noticed it... still think it's the best android rom out there though. Keep up the good work.

Color Banding

HTC HD2 color resolution is only 16 bits per pixel.

So we will always see these artifacts.

Lo and behold, 2.0f is released.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dimension2035:
Im on it. Hope it will fix this lag issue I experienced with 2.0e
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mydoooom:
I don't agree. That 16-bit is a software limitation of WM 6.5. Back in time, when I was using SD Android Gingerbread from m-deejay (v0.8 i think, was long ago), there was everything 32-bit. Probably it worked accidentaly. Also noticed the colours in WP7 port are better.

But I see, I should better shut up. Nevertheles, the system is running very well.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] muzicman0:
does anyone else notice slow upload speeds? I can't break 330kb. It's almost like it used to be on RMNET SD Card builds. But once I went to NAND, my upload speeds were fine...but on the last few builds for sure, I have slow uploads.

Hm since private messaging doesn't work, I will send my message here to iamgpc. Who knows someone else can do something with it :)

Hi there, I am using your rom and I like it very much. Thank you for that.

I was thinking and have an idea. I am not a programmer so I have no idea if it is realistic and I have no idea if you could implement it.

What if, you would create some kind of raid function in your rom. The 512mb of ROM will be put in raid with a 512mb partition on the SD card. This would expand the memory to 1gb to save applications on and it would speed up the data transfer to the memory. (assuming you have good quality SD memory like Sandisk)

I have no idea if there will indeed be a big enough speed increase and i have no idea if it is a lot of work to implement. There could be an extra 1GB shadow partition on the SD card that would function as a backup (initiated manually) to prevent programs to get corrupted. (or I could just use my titan backup program for that).

I am curious what you think of my idea :P
[HD2 Android NAND Development] landycog:
been running 2.0f for a couple days very smooth and reliable no issues here thanks gpc :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Alvin Lai:
Same here running with 2.0f happily and silky smooth rom.

So far no bugs. Everything seem perfect. Let cross ours finger.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] AgeOfPanic:
I haven't updated my rom to 2.0 yet, but I just wanted to ask if you guys noticed an improvement in connection reliability. On 1.9d reliability is not as good as I would like. I partially blame T-Mobile for this, as my connection at work is particulary bad. But my gf runs a stock Samsung Vibrant on the same network and she seems to always have connection with data. I'm just curious how your experiences are?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cruzzmz:
flashing 2.0f

[HD2 Android NAND Development] lmas0604:
Hello, I need help please.

I installed the rom as follows:

-Task29

-Radio_2_15_50_14

-MAGLDR113_DAF

CWM-Recovery for gpc_hd2_gingerbread 120M_v2

-gpc_hd2_gingerbread_v20f.zip

After installing the phone is quite unstable and when I try to restart the phone is stuck in the initial image HTC.

If I change the Recovery CWM is gpc_hd2_gingerbread 120M_v2 by Recovery_150M, the rom gets an outstanding performance.

I do not understand where lies the problem.

Someone could help me.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] AgeOfPanic:
And your connection doesn't crap out on you when you use it? Happens regurarly with me and every Rom I ever used had it. Sometimes it takes a long time to recover too. As I said, my gf phone never has this with her Samsung.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] landycog:
the only time i lose a connection is when i go upstate in ny i dont think t-mo has service up there but as long i am in urban areas it does not crap out ,dont know if it helps you
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cruzzmz:
did u do wipe at recovery?

i usually do all wipe including cache

I think i am using the recovery 150M also ... didnt use the gpc one.

Didnt have the chance to do the batt % yet ... maybe tonight will do it
[HD2 Android NAND Development] AgeOfPanic:
Strange. Must be T-Mobile in Wisconsin then. Not sure what radio I'm running either, but I think it's 2.15. Thanks for the help.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] landycog:
maybe try task 29 then flash everything again you might just have some corrupt data from flashing too much, i task 29 every couple of updates just to make sure, your welcome

Query about 2 apps

I have 2.0f installed, and under mannage apps, I see Quickoffice and Street View.

I dont see any icons for them anywhere, and unable to remove the apps. Everything is greyed out.

Do you know why this is? I want to use an office product but dont want 2 installed at once.

Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] FireMAN999:
I don't see any real problem as you wont have two icons if you try to install them again.

But if you want to uninstall them, use Titanium Backup to uninstall them.

Then reinstall the versions you want.

Thanks for your help noxxerr my friend. Though the thread you pointed to doesn't contain help on the CWM method, its an awesome resource on the DAF method.

In looking more, I was able to find that I was using the wrong option in MAGLDR 1.13. I was supposed to use the option AD recovery instead of boot AD SD. So doing that, I was able to install via recovery just fine. Thanks to all Devs and all helpful folks of the community

What issue with standby?

I get 2ma to 4ma ( 3ma average ).

If you mean "BlueTooth" drain on standby, then you are correct.

60ma on BlueTooth standby, which is the *ONLY* isssue with this ROM.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] audioslim:
Yes the Bluetooth drain has always been in these roms

[HD2 Android NAND Development] thecrater:
I think I know what @audioslim is talking about. Sometimes, randomly, I find that battery drain in standby is up by 50mA so that instead of being the usual 3mA to 5mA it would be 53mA to 55mA and definitely up by 50mA. Cannot figure out what's causing it though. Initially I thought it might be the Wifi but it happened even without wifi use. It's quite bizarre.

My suggestion is quite simple

Backup using CWM first and

Please do a full wipe before flashing any gpc rom for including the dalvik cache etc

then flash the new rom and restore the data only using CWM

that is what i do always and usually wont faced any problem
[HD2 Android NAND Development] AgeOfPanic:
I switched to a different provider. Should have a stronger signal, but still unreliable connection. I think these roms need much stronger signal, otherwise the connection crashes. Hope that the developers will find something for this. Still haven't found a comparable phone with clean Gingerbread.
