but I haven't changed the framework at all? switched to bauner's desire for now and no problems... oh well...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
I went to Gauner's DesireZ... Love the speed

EDIT: I have this rom as my MainRom, and fully backedUp. Always try out new roms.... And flash back to this if there no good.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ForceField:
Wow,This ROM is a Rocket.

It gave me a quadrant score of 2011.The IO speed is just like the SD version.:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bronx:
yeah... I know it's fast (at least for desire hd), but there's something wrong with ext4 partition's stability, unless I'm doing something wrong. :(

I just love new sense btw.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
You must be doing something wrong with the ext4

It works great for me sinds the release of this rom.

Made backups many times to test other roms, and still runs smooth when I restore everything.

The reccomend size is 1GIG, if you go over 2GIG it lags.

I make my partitions in Ubuntu, but the Gparted LIVE CD will do in windows 2.

Crashing apps?

First of thank you for your work. Tried several nand and sd builds till I found this one. having Leo 512 I was very pleased and upon installation all seemed to work very well. Problems started after I installed several apps via market and rebooted the phone. Almost every app I try to run crashes (FC). It is very likely an error on my side if anybody has any idea please let me know. At the moment I am uninstalling all apps that are crashing and will try to reinstall again.

thank you
[HD2 Android NAND Development] andrewf403:
I've got some corruptions after force shutdown (battery drain), but all tests states that ext4 partition is perfectly ok. That makes sense, as ext4 is journaling file system, and it is very hard to corrupt it. After some time, I have realized, that problems were with FAT32 partition. Many Android apps saves settings and cache on FAT32 partition in data or android folder. Thats why all programs are there, but there are FC or missing settings.

I fully formatted and repartitioned my card, and now I can remove my battery, and no FC or missing settings. Though, if you want your device to be save, you do not remove battery while it's on. ))))
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
What kind of ext you got: ext2, ext3, ext4

Is that ext Primary, and after your FAT32 partition?

What size is your ext partition?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] totot1976:
Card should be fine - never had troubles with other builds. I did a fresh format and repartitioning yesterday...It is 16GB Sandisk class 2, 1GB ext4 partition rest FAT32.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] totot1976:
Just noticed your reply as I posted mine. Yeah card should be fine.

ext4 primary. if it was not properly formatted - would the rom work at all?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
FAT32 should be first and then the ext4 partition.

Rom wil work without the ext4 patition, but then you will run out of space
[HD2 Android NAND Development] totot1976:
I don't think the problem is SD card and partitions. When I checked internal storage it did show around 1GB or 800MB free.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
You can try to flash the rom again.

Thanks to ext4, all apps & settings will be safe
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bronx:
hm... interesting, as I prepared sd card "by the book" and still had those problems. I just love Your rom, so I may give it another shot tonight. ... btw, is there any option to use it with data.img on fat32 partition instead of ext4? I use it this way with bauner's desire v2 and so far it works great. (I really miss new sense though... :( )
[HD2 Android NAND Development] andrewf403:
Thanks for report. Let's hope /data partition from another ROM will not cause any problems in future.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] iamcxa:
may i ask: can your got root permission?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ClydeB1:
I haven't installed rom yet, still formatting and partitioning sd card. What options did you use for z4root as I wonder why it worked for you but nobody else is reporting it working?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
I just set for perminent root access, let it do his work, and reboot.

But Titanium Backup still has not root accees, need busybox for that... downloading now.

I'll let you know when all worked out.

Like the rom, but it's not fast :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] phoenixtraveller:
HI.

I AM POSTING HERE AS WONDERING IF CAN USE YOUR INITRD.GZ and ext4 for rootfs.ext2 mounting of ubuntu (and initrd strapping)...

Can be nand or sd here...

I have it booting but it freezes on keyboard -> Can someone tell me why it stops at desktop ubuntu?

I copy all linux files to sdcard \linux and setup magldr sd-boot to here.

COPY (not renamed) initrd.cpio.gz to initrd.gz and adb_zimage to just zImage.

partitioned sd card previously with 4096-ext and 256-cache (16gb) using CLOCKWORK OF COURSE.

NAND=clockwork/blank.

Boots.

But can someone help me/make a boot.img+system.img(containing FIXED initrd.gz and zImage - MDJ??? Yours??? ) PLEASE - and proper flash.cfg for daf.exe ???

or UPDATE.ZIP for clockwork install ???

Thanks.

Will donate $.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
I have to correct my self, as my phone seemed rooted.... but it wasn't.

busybox said it was rooted.... but it was not.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] TheAgent1982:
Thanks, i know about that method ...

I am looking for easer ONE :)

How to format in Clockwork? with fat32 first and ext4 after?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] TheAgent1982:
How did you managed to format the SD card as you have done?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] iamcxa:
i guess he use ROM Mgr.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] overshadowss:
any CWM ROM zip? i dont wanna flash via USB :cool:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] zheliapov:
Guys, put some screenshots... Thanks;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
You know how a standard Desire HD rom looks?

Thats what you'll get with screenshots.:D;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] swordfish2009:
Boot in to clockwork recovery mod by "boot AD SD" in magldr

Go to "mounts and storage" and "mount usb storage" to mount your SD card. backup your card data.

Press back to go back to main menu.

Go to "Advance" and press "Partition SD card"

Provide Ext size and Swap size as per your wish. Ext partition will be created with specified price and remaining wil be FAT32

You have done it.. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dddrko:
I'm waiting for such a build for a long time...I like the method not to use internal storage for user data at all, 'cose this way I a have a proper memory statistic. Rom is great an fast, only lags when usisng very slow WiFi. I saw this problem earlier but not in latest roms. Fix it (and rooting too) and this can be the ultimate rom. Thank you anyway for proving that this is the best method for Desire HD rom on HD2. Great first try!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dexem:
+1 I have this same problem
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Mikenif:
Boot into Clockwork>Advanced>Partition SD Card etc.;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] andrewf403:
Update:

Uploading version 0.9

Changes:

Fixed rooting issue. Thanks to help from white-energy

Will update first post with the link in 10 minutes (or when upload finishes)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] >Prometheus<:
Sorry for my bad english but i could not find the right words for what i think about this build!!! it fits more then 100% what i was waiting for!!!

so because it is the best build for me until now i'd like to post my first impressions and maybe problems.

after correct partitioning and flashing it bootet a bit longer than gauners build. and then at the setup assistent i got about 4 or 5 times messages with something going wrong and i could press wait or force close. i allways presses waid and i think it does the right thing. don't know why its as slow as it is but i think my class 4 oder class 6 (cant remember) sd card is not as fast as it would be best. after the assisstant it was still a bit slow and took a long time until sense started and i could do the first things.

now i wait until sync is over and than i go to restart it 1-2 times and start to test something.

i hope it will be much faster after some hours and some reboots.

i'm looking forward for the next versions and builds like this but i think this is the right way!

well done!

and now in my home language - german

scheiß die wand an is das geil :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DimICE:
0.8 version is very slowly( 0.9 the same?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] andrewf403:
What is the brand of SD card? I had same problems with 2Gb card I used for testing. But my main SanDisk SDhc class 4 8Gb works fine for me.

It is not slow for me. Give it some time to get all background work done, or try to change SD card.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ForceField:
First,Thank you for your work.This rom is really great.

Since NAND I really lost hope on any Desire HD build until I tried your v1.1

I too had a force shutdown but none of the apps that I have were corrupted.

Would you mind telling us which of the apps were corrupted?

However I did emptied the Ext4 partition thru Android Commander before installing your ROM.

Another thing,I usually use 'Android Commander' to install my apps and I did noticed that it was too slow and it hanged on one of the apps.It is not a problem as everything is working fine with 'DroidExplorer' but it would be nice to know if there is a way to let AC working fast again.

Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] singcheng:
I did it since v0.9, v1.0, v1.0a and v1.1, so far so good.

If you want to give a try again, PM me so I can send you detailed steps.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] chuckybrown:
awesome 1.1 fastest nand with ext4 i ever used big thx .. !! :D:D:D:D:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] totot1976:
Since I really like your ROM I will give it another tyr :).

thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ekin04:
try now !!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fadzy:
This build has got to be the fastest, smoothest build ive tried to date! So far everything is working fine and buttery smooth!

Well done Andrewf403

The only problem im having is on my side. Im trying to add a custom framework, but it keeps resulting in either a loop at "htc quietly brilliant" or a totally blank screen after that. I've tried using root explorer, ES File explorer and even droid explorer from PC, but none have proved to work. (luckily i always keep backups so was able to restore easily)

Does anyone know if it is possible to use a custom/different framework? Thanks in advance!

Appart from that, no problems at all!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bronx:
ok, so can You let us know what do You recommend to prepare SD card for Your rom? I've used Gparted, made 2 primary partitions - first fat32, second ext4 (1024 mb). afaik it is how it should be done, isn't it? also, having FC on google maps was a sign, that ext4 got corrupted as I understand it is not installed on SD storage. what more, widgets like google search and multi mount got somehow corrupted as well, but after removing those from panels and applying them again everything seemed to be ok. weird stuff...

I hope that we can find a definite solution to this problem as Your rom is really great.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fadzy:
That is also how i have my sd card setup but i dont have any corruption problems. Have you been using apps2sd or is it installed on your phone? Maybe that could be it? just a thought.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] CR5N:
Doing same as you with gparted and partitions. Used the SD slot on laptop (NOT magldr) to format the SD card before I put in phone then I flash nand and boot up. Used ext4 data from 1.0a and all still ok.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bronx:
no, no apps2sd. installed rom as instructed by OP, gave it time to settle a bit, reset, restored apps with my backup pro, gave it some more time, reset - well... after that I was using it normally for few hours, including some shutdowns and resets. where the problems begun was after I allowed it to die (I was planning to reset batt stats). I've switched it on, plugged the charger in, as soon as it started I relised that something is not ok. in my case the first sympthom always is battery indicator pro not loading. what's weird, I was able to run it manually. it looks like my hd2 have lost some of it's settings and recent calls list, some apps (not many) got corrupted.

[EDIT]

and no, my card is not dying as it performs amazing in fat32 mode. bauners rom (desire) with data.img on fat32 since yesterday, multiple shutdowns, resets and other typical abusing - still going strong. :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] khutto2012:
pc sync ??????? not working
[HD2 Android NAND Development] -Nitrous-:
Very nice rom, but my weather seems to be stuck at one location, when I update it shows my location I am at but them changes back to a previous location I was at yesterday :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] theuser-1:
It works here.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DeeinSouthAfrica:
Settings/Location/Reinstall Locations App. Try this, it worked for me.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] solid.snake:
Hi, had already had this problem before, now if you want to get ride of it, just follow my instructions :

1- the temporary one

After reboot your HD2, just restore all your application data, only your data with titanium backup, then reinstall your Google apps such as gmail, YouTube, maps, and reset your account if needed, this method will work until... you reboot your HD2 !

2- the big definitive one, aka the real one, aka the one you'll choose...

Using the excellent win app Minitool partition, you'll have just to reformat you're ext4 partition to an ext3 one with 4096 clusters size, you shouldn't need to touch your fat 32 partition. Flash again , just to be sure.

Don't forget, both partition should be set as primary one.

Try this, love it and just come back here to thanks, BTW do not forget to be happy with your HD2.

You should get ride of all your FC pb
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fadzy:
Knew this was a problem on my side. The framework-res i was trying to install was messed up!

Well now this is truly the perfect rom for me!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] kptnznty:
The only one big issue

Ok, since yesterday, I'm convinced that there's another way than CWM.

I discussed this one month ago. Why not to build a ROM in the same way a PC works? I mean, the min. necessary code is BIOS that launches HD, DVD or USB boot (in the sequence you prefer). OS is placed in an external memory support (not in ROM).

This ROM is an approach, since only /data is placed externally, but perhaps we could move on to a complete external installation. I'm not sure, but I think that internal flash memory and SD flash memory should have similar speeds. If so, there's nothing against it.

And the stick:

I tried twice to restore from TitaniumBackup and in both cases the phone entered in a "quietly brilliant" loop (it reported some kind of error with "media" proccess or so).

Then had to install all the applications manually.

In addition, it takes eons to boot. Sometimes if I left it unattended and look at it again and is showing "quietly brilliant", I think: "Damm it, it is again in the loop...". Fortunately not.

Everything is working fine, so I have to say that this is the best ROM I have tried. It is smooth as a native android phone, and just laggy when waking up (from screen off).

I just want that all devs took the same way when developing a ROM.

CWM leaves too few internal memory for the ROM, and it becomes lite (far from a stock ROM). Perhaps this way would be accepted by more people (but surprisingly there's not too much people insterested in this ROM, i.m.o.).
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DeeinSouthAfrica:
People want eye-candy, people want to be on the cutting edge of mobile technology.

This is a standard rom.

I love it because this is precisely what I am looking for, but I believe for most people it isn't...exciting enough.

Just my 10 cents ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
There are a enough people looking for a rom like this..

It just to stable, so we dont have to report bugs... :D ;) :p
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Skellyyy:
Does this work with a Ext3 partition or does it have to be Ext4? MiniTool Partition Wizard doesn't have an Ext3. :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] philippebla:
good evening Skellyyy

it is better to use a ext4 partition, you just use gparted, it starts to autoboot and it goes very quickly to format your partition

phil
[HD2 Android NAND Development] solid.snake:
Minitool does have ext3 support. And yes this Rom does work Very well and very fast with ext3 partition.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] CR5N:
+1 :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] paocavallo:
yes... you have to set htc weather setting like this:

- update when opened: yes

- update automatically: yes

- update frequency: select from 1 to 6 hours so as you like

...

this way location will change as soon as you open the widget...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] paocavallo:
Ext3 or Ext4??

Hey guys!

I read somewhere these kind of rom work faster with Ext3 partirion....

Someone can say something about it???
[HD2 Android NAND Development] solid.snake:
The only thing I can say is that I confirm that this is very fast and smooth with ext3, didn't try with ext4, but Im convicted it couldn't be much faster than the way it is now.

It's look like you're using ext4, are you experimenting some slowness or any other pb ? can you report...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] willgill:
DutchDanny, I did some CWM reading. It says it will wipe my current build out if I convert to CWM. I suppose post-CWM, I can backup everything. So before going through that hassle, I figured, I'd take my SD card out and just copy the contents to a new SD card.

However, I can't touch the ext4 partition on the SD cards. It says I don't have permissions (this is in Ubuntu). I'm guessing the HD2 is the owner. Maybe I'm missing something, but if I can just figure out how to copy the contents of the SD card (both partitions) to the new SD card, I don't need CWM.

BTW, this build continues to run well for me. My only limitation is the speed of the SD card. I think you're earlier rebuttal about this build not being popular is correct. Just because there aren't as many posts regarding this build, doesn't mean it's not popular. I figure it's because it just works great ... or maybe it's just an underdiscovered gem.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mmorisa:
hi everybody,

I am testing this build for a few days already. Here are some of my findings;

a) Bluetooth = OK

b) WiFi = OK

c) Internet = OK

d) Data = OK

e) HTC Weather kept on going back to the very first location it detected and not showing the current location. Done a few changes here and there based on the replies from this forum and yet the result is still the same.

f) Speed = OK and fast enough for me.

g) I installed Dandiest's [initrd][DL Data2SD/Ext4+ V1.5] and I can installed apps just by putting it inside /sdcard/DLZUPDATE/AndroidApps folder.

h) My Micro-sd card is 8MB class 2 card. I partitioned it using my desktop UBUNTU and set it like this; 5.4GB FAT32 (primary), 2048MB EXT4(primary). From the SD & phone storage settings; here are the readings;

1) SD card: Total Space: 5.34GB, Available space: 3.83GB

2) Internal Phone Storage: Available space: 1.72GB

i) No wake-up lag from sleep. less than 1s.

j) Battery wise = moderate depending on usage.

k) HTC Hub account = OK

l) Google account = OK thus, gmail and gtalk also OK

m) camera = OK

n) I installed Taskiller from market and it works OK. I just set HTC Sense and Task Killer to be ignored and the rest is AUTOKILL when screen off. I got around 260MB RAM available after wake from screen OFF. So, it is OK for me.

o) GPS = not tested yet.

p) I can access the market, download, install and remove apps from it. So no problem here.

q) Locations App is working. I can see the maps. TESTED indoor only.

Hope the above info helps and beneficial to others who wants to try this build.

regards,

morisa
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ahchu:
i am using ext 4....

as of now already 4 hrs using ....it's very fast ...

superb ....i have to say good bye to desire_z ...

bye bye ...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
Once you convert 2 CWM it will partition your rom differnt then MAGLDR does, so you will lose your current rom... but.

When you got it installed, you can still make a backup of your current rom.

So it will safe rom and sd-ext to your FAT32 partition.

If you done this, copy everything to the new SD that you pre-configerd with the 2 partitions.

Put it back in your HD2, get in to CWM restore your last rom.

When you reboot, you'll get an kernel error!

Just flash MAGLDR and The DAF.exe from your rom... and all is well.

Depending on on how much data you have on your SD, this is done in about 20 min.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] imotz:
i have just upgraded from 1.0a to 1.1 will test battery life soon.

with 1.0a i had 4-7ma in standby and about 270 mA in normal use.

upgrade is working realy good all settings and apps are still here.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] InfX:
I've just flashed this as a first NAND Android i ever tried. Works nicely. The only problem for me is the WiFi MAC, i really don't think it should be randomized !!!

While random generated MAC is certainly better than a hard-coded 00:11:22:33:44:55, there is a reason why MACs are being managed by IEEE and not just choosen randomly by the manufactures, IEEE ensures the MAC you get is unique, meaning the original one is supposed to never conflict with any other MAC, on any other network.

Can someone please instruct me how to change the MAC back to the original ? Modifying "/System/Etc/Calibration" and re-enabling WiFi only seems to work till the next reboot, something seems to overwrite this file at system startup.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] locksmith:
Having problems with Ver 1.1.

Constant freezing

No one can hear me when I dial out

Camera still needs to be fixed

Android keeps reporting that applications and also Sense has encountered an error and has to be shut down.

Anyone else having this problem ??? Never had been this bad before....

Any other Roms similar to this one that is worth a try ???
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
It's not the rom that gives you this problem, but your phone.

Rafdroid HD is similar, but no ext4 patition....

Or fix your SD and format your rom, and try this one again.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] CrazyTurk42:
can i upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1 with no problems? Or do i first need update to 1.0a?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] imotz:
i think this should work
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
Your flashing a new rom, so don't need to update, just the v.1.1

All apps and settings will be safe on ext4 :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] einwegglas:
does anybody know if bluetooth rsap-protocol is included?

didn't find any settings.

thx
[HD2 Android NAND Development] KrewsialNL:
ext4

Does that partition have to be ext4?

Or will ext3 suffice too?

Just asking, as I have no bootable media at hand here ;) Otherwise I could do it with a piece of software in Windows, though that doesn't create ext4 partitions.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
ext3 will do!
