Was using AF403 since day one. Formatted everything and all since andrewf403 mentioned to format everything when 1.5 came out. Anyways, I'll leave it as it is for now. After a few more reboots and it looks like it's stabilizing...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] CrazyTurk42:
Works great so far! (a week now) But i think i need to whipe my batt stats. Its using more than the mdj kernel.

Als also you cannot record 720p. (green noize)

Other than that it works good!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] xetro:
Big fan of 1.1 so moved back to that. For some reason 1.5 keeps getting Force Close messages :( Tried other CWR roms and not working so great either. Could be the RafPigna kernel, but then I am the only one suffering from it as everybody is very optimistic about it. I think MDJ 10.3 is more stable (less fast) with this ROM.

Also tried 1.5 with 10.x kernels but no luck. These kernels were not from this thread, so maybe that is the problem?

Love to see 2.0 based on 1.84 HD RUU and with a different kernel or a DFT/NAND install!

Nevertheless: 1.1 is still great!

boot from sd using magldr?

ive been using this nand version and love it.ive done a dual boot with wp7 and would love to be able to use this build via sd using magldr to boot it.any way i can do trhis?

Feedback

After trying other Roms with mixed results, I installed 1.5 and it seems excellent.

Responsive, no lag even on my slow Class 2 sd card.

All working fine including: wifi, market, GPS, google sync, camera (no 720p recording as others have reported)

Battery drain is best I've had; 3mA overnight (flight mode) and looking good in daily usage.

For those having problems you might like to try what I did - a "full clean" install:

1. use Task29 to fully clear anything from previous ROMs from phone

2. re-install MAGLDR 1.13 (because it just got wiped in step 1)

3. format SD card with FAT32 and 1GB Ext4 primary partitions (I used GParted)

4. Install ROM via DAF as instructed.

5. Leave it 5 mins (very difficult!). Shutdown phone.

6. Restart and begin configuring.

Maybe using Task29 might be seen as not needed (?); but it's one way to ensure a nice clean install and seems to have worked nicely.

Hey, i created a 3gb ext4 partition and the settings screen also shows that i have it as my internal memory, however, i am not able to download apps from the market. Keeps giving me an error saying "Not enough free space available" What have i done wrong???

EDIT: Never mind, got it working by re-partitioning it as 1gb EXT, maybe i am one of the people who couldn't make 3gb ext work :( sad. Hoping by the chef's word that 1 gb would be enough. Actually i wanted to feel good when i saw the remaining internal memory as 2.89 GB :P. Anyway, great ROM :) Since i fondled with this a lot, any of you who have unsolved queries, you may PM me and il try to help if i know it :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] InfX:
I would guess something in there just uses int32 values to check the remaining space. The int32 overflow is going to be at the 2gbyte point, not 1, meaning if thats the case, you should be ok making it 2gbytes minus one byte (well, the free space on it. meaning 2gb should be ok).

MAN!! YOUR A GENUIS!! it works like a charm!! i gave the partition as 2000 mb, and i have tried out all the functions. All of them work :) only if i could find a thanks button for your post :(

I tried to install it and now my camera gone... Going to re-flash

EDIT: I made a mistake during installation. Now it works on my leo. It is an Evo camera.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mstulanovic:
I am using this build for few days now, I like the internal space... it is so cool, can install apps as many as I wan't without any issues...

but noticed one thing: once when I was trying some games, it froze, I had to pull out the battery and turn it on again.. and today, when I turned on GPS and app 'Locations' it froze after 3-4 minutes... again had to pullout the battery..

is there that can fix this or it is random, or the CPU overheated, or something else.. don't know..

benchmark shows almost 2000 sometimes 2015...

I love this ROM... great work....

One question... is there a possibility for arabic to be imported???

I would like to add advanced power menu to version 1.5 but I don't know if it is compatible. Has anyone done this already? Which version do I chose as there is no 1.72..... version available. Any ideas?

[HD2 Android NAND Development] optiknerv:
thats for .2 and this rom is .3 but thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fadzy:
Dont really think there is much difference (seems like a really minor number change).

But one note, you might not even be able to install/add it because this rom is odexed.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] InfX:
Speaking about odex-ing... Is there any way to only de-odex a single file, for example, framework.jar, modify it, and then, somehow, rebuild the odex file and push it back to the device WITHOUT de-odexing the entire ROM ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fadzy:
Odexing/de odexing is quite a complicated and time consuming procedure. (well i seem to think so). However it is possible, and you are able to do it one at a time. if you need i can give you a de odexed apk that you need.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] CR5N:
I love this ROM, messed up, re-flashed with dft and back safe with all my apps working :)

This thread seems inactive but the build just rocks, nice one AF.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jpl69:
What you can do is replace both jar and odex (delete them) file with a single non odex (already modified) file.

I'm sorry to say but 1.1 is my rom for weeks now, i've reverted from 1.5 because didn't feel the stable as i feel with 1.1, the only bug i have is camcorder recording it frezes for a second once and while.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
The thread is not incative, the rom is to stable to keep posting here. :rolleyes: :D ;)

He only updates when realy nessesairy, but we are all here to help other users.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] xetro:
Give it a shot (again)

Thanks, I will give this a shot (again). Never used Gparted because I have one laptop with Windows7 and one with Ubuntu 10.10 installed. The latter I use to format the SD-EXT(4) partition, the first to format FAT32 (32k) with Panasonic SDformatter 3.0

Hope this will work... Although I am having doubts about Rafpigna 1.7 because many ROMS with this kernel seem to fail (or its something else, but I am not a developer so I wouldnt know ;))

Hi, I did exactly what you said and it seemed to work fine at the beginning, but after setting up gmail it F*CKS up my system. many FC's and with fixing permissions and clearing cache it is over for 30 minutes, but then android.process.acore keeps bugging me as a Force Close nagscreen.....

Trying to switch to GPC kernel for 1.72: hope that helps...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] HaKyLON:
Nice Rom

Hello

I post This message to say this is a very stable rom

after a month with v1.1 without any stability problem.

i tried some roms like rafdroid ( laggy and force close pb ) and Coredroid ( exchange not working and other force close problem )

this one is a stock version and i can say it's the most stable.

Great work
[HD2 Android NAND Development] InfX:
Last time i tried, i've got an infinite reboot loop. I was lucky with the adb still able to connect, though, so i could replace it back.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jpl69:
This is my homescreen, as you can see i've replaced:

- rosie.apk and rosie.odex with a modified rosie.apk (5x4)

- HtcClockWidget.apk and HtcClockWidget.odex with a modified HtcClockWidget.apk (shrinked)

- framework-res.apk (with % battery)

no reboot loop as both are the same version as the instaled in rom.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] InfX:
What i've been trying to do is to apply this patch on the 1.1 build. The "patch" is actually replacing the "framework.jar" file. And, before anyone asks, i did use the Desire HD based framework.jar.

PS: I have yet to understand what the heck those .dex (and .odex) files really are. I am a coder, but i come from native (c/c++) background, java is an unexplored territory for me.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] InfX:
Just got a data corruption on the ext4, and all I did to get it is reboot

:-(

Sms and call history are gone, browser cookies, history and saved config are gone, contacts are gone, quite a few other apps config is lost, market is now crashing.... etc etc. At least I do have my contacts synced to Google.

I already got an ext4 corrupted once, but i was unsure it wasnt my own fault. Now i am sure i did nothing wrong !!! This has been most likely caused by a simple reboot !!!

This really IS a major issue, this means i cant trust anything stores on ext4, and that i may end up needing a pc just to bring my phone back alive. Great :-(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] romariosh:
if I have the version 1.1 now, should I format the ext4 partition, before flash Version 1.5?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ra6o74:
No! Just flash and all your apps and settings will intact. But you should Fix Permissions first after flash is complete!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fadzy:
Facebook working fine here. Have you updated it from the market?

I know how you feel, but i think i know of a workaround:

Try not to use the "REBOOT" option, aim for using "SHUTDOWN" all the time, and also i learnt that i normally get ext4 corruption when I turn off the phone whilst it is very busy (installing apps/first time google sync etc) Try not to do it during these times and it should be allright.

In the event that you do have ext4 corruption, using the "GParted" tool you MIGHT be able to recover it (i was able to once). Just connect it in magldr USB STORAGE, open GParted and go to your sd card's list. Click on the EXT4 partition and choose repair or recover (something like that) and it will attepmt to save it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] andrewf403:
Nope, it is not right. Try to reformat your ext4 partition on SD card
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bronx:
ok. everything went butter smooth.

not restoring sh... from titanium backup and we shall see... ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Jack E:
Has anyone else noticed that writes to the ext4 data partition appear to be incredibly slow compared to those on the fat32 partition?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] paalkr:
Wow, have been using this build for some hours now and I must say that this is by far the best sense build I've tried since I started using android on HD2 backing in July. Thank you for sharing this build!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] R3nHo3k:
first of all, thanks a lot for your work!

but could you include ES File Explorer

reason is that my WiFi is locked with a 64 digit key wich

i always copy&paste from a txt file to have acces to my

network, same with my google account.

and in your rom there is NO possibility at all to acces ANY files

wich are on the card or on the phone for that matter.

i would love to use your rom, but right now i will flash one where

there is at least on simple file explorer with text file viewing and

editing ability
[HD2 Android NAND Development] H-KaN:
the first rom where the partition of sd works for me. i just flashed it and it went all well so far. tomorrow i will tell if everythings ok for me.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] haksiu:
laggy while waking up, wifi is much slower then it was on gauner1986 rom. besides that, perfect.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rotbartig:
My own 2 cents... Just what I noticed for 2-3 hours of exploiting this ROM :)

1. Can't make another one Exchange account instance (i.e corporate Exchange and Google one). Gives an error like this - "Your account can't be created. Please try again later". Gauner's ROM allowed this to be done easily. Not a big deal, but quite strange for me.

2. Market doesn't update itself to the last version. This wasn't a question in Gauners's ROM again.

Besides these gaps, ROM is wonderful, thanks a lot for your work. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rotbartig:
Nope - for example, mine is workin' perfect. May be because of 6-class SD :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] H-KaN:
no need for including an app u can get from market. i guess that the dev wants this rom to be stocked and btw me too. es explorer u can download in market for free.

Great job and great idea to push system image on SD card.

Congrats andrewf403. Great job.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] R3nHo3k:
dude read first, then think after that write!!!

i need the es file explorer to get access to WiFi and

my google account!!!!

and google account equals market!!!!!!!!!

so no file explorer>>>>no market access!!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] FileFixer:
In my opinion, Market was sucessfuly update and work great. When start first time, it is like a old Market.

After second start, Market goes to new version.

Start Market and seat, Market would be update soon. Just be patient.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] FileFixer:
First go to market and SIGN IN or CREATE NEW ACCOUNT when Market app was ask you to enter username and password.

Second, download ESFile Explorer from market and install it.

Third, you are wrong... Market is here without file explorer.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
Market updated on my phone... automaticly
[HD2 Android NAND Development] R3nHo3k:
i´m sorry you DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!!!!!

i need a file explorer with text file viewing and copy&paste ability

to get my PASSWORD!!!!!!!!!!

is that so hard to understand????

no password>>>no sign in!!!!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
This afternoon I flash this rom without fomatting my ext4 partition, and it workt but is was slow, and no root access.

And now i formatted my partitions, and used the updated version... and all works flawless for me.

It's fast stable, found no bugs so far.

Tomorow will be the big test day, how he does it during the day.

But so far, the best rom i flashed......and i flashed about 6 or 7 roms.

realy like the Desire HD look.. now i will keep sense instead of LauncherPro.

Keep it UP
[HD2 Android NAND Development] FileFixer:
Why you don`t write your password on piece of paper for first time login? It is simpliest way.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
I published es file explorer on my blog.

Blog post is in Dutch, just look for "File Explorer" at the bottom!

Download it from my page and install.

Make sure u set accept all apps in your settings before you download
[HD2 Android NAND Development] InfX:
The only thing your observation of it usually happening when the phone is busy doing something, implies an improper ext4 unmount at shutdown, improper low level cache flushing at shutdown or some similar stuff, pointing that there IS a problem somewhere :-(

BTW, i am familiar with gparted, but thanks anyway. Thats what i used to recover ext4 the first time it got corrupted, but first time i though it could be my fault (and it could).
[HD2 Android NAND Development] andrewf403:
If you are getting FC, lost apps or missing data in applications that can be not corruptions, but just permissions bug. Pretty common to custom Android. You just need to open Terminal app and run fix_permissions.sh

It'll work for few minutes fixing application permissions and you're good to go after a reboot )

Ext4 is pretty hard to corrupt, with the exception of faulty SD cards.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fadzy:
Andrew, another "situation":

After i restarted my phone in the notifications bar it said "sd card mounted as read only" i clicked on it, it was fixed for a bit but it kept coming back. Is there a reason for this to happen?

I reformatted my sd card and it seems to be gone now, but never before on your rom have i had this. Was it just a fault in the sdcard that was cleared by the format?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] InfX:
File permissions dont just suddenly change by themselfs. And yea, i know ext4 SHOULD be nearly impossible to corrupt. Should be. But it gets corrupted. The only 2 realistic scenarios i can think of to cause this is either faulty hardware/sd (not the case) or an improper underlaying caching (is there any ?). Think about it, what if the ext4 writes the transaction data and then registers the actual transaction, yet the caching attepms to optimize, at low level, and changes the order of the writes. What if we power down mid-process in this case ? This is just a speculation, and, i dont really know ext4 internals, but the problem EXISTS. Ignoring it wont do any good. Ext4 gets corrupted. I dont know why, i know it really shouldnt, but it does.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fadzy:
Maybe this might help?

Dont know who/where its from, but it sounds like its got something to do with the shutdown process?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] InfX:
Are you trying to recommend a possible solution without even knowing what the heck it is ? :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fadzy:
lol, i just thought it might help :P

Im gonna try it now anyways
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Goron:
Famous last words? ;P
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fadzy:
I dont even know if it worked, my phone booted normally, and have not yet experienced any ext4 corruption since the last time i commented on it, so i dont really think that APK made a difference :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] CR5N:
Xda, we need a 'wtf' button ;-)

Edit: does the apk do anything?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] CR5N:
This nay help but I had an ext4 corruption after letting my battery drop too low back in v0.9 so I set my powersaver to 20% (was 25) never use reboot option and still on original ext4 partition... hope it works in the morning!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fadzy:
For testing purposes, I also let my battery run dry right now too (no powersave etc). I restarted it and all is well! (normally i would have had quite a lot of force closures) :D

BTW this is after using that shutdown apk (previous page) so i think it might actually work.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
XD

.... Keep trying
[HD2 Android NAND Development] andrewf403:
File permissions does not change them self. But file where android stores UIDs for apps may get corrupted. After Android recreates it, UID in this database are no longer corresponds to actual file owners. Script fixes this.

File system is mounted with disabled delayed allocation (noauto_da_alloc option).

I'm not saying there are no problems, I'm just saying maybe we are looking in the wrong place.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] InfX:
Maybe, who knows... The first time it happened to me, it was definitely an ext4 corruption, though.

Instead of FCs it resulted in a very specific app (cool reader) causing a reboot (!!!) the moment i would try and open it. First thing i tried is to go and wipe the cool reader's data files, not even trying to give it any deep though, this caused a reboot as well. Same thing for uninstalling. Next thing i tried was to try and access cool readers data files manually, this caused a reboot too. Now trying to think a bit, i though "a thing that can do a freaking reset must run at kernel level, i am accessing files and this is causing it, maybe its an fs driver, so maybe something in ext4 combined with a bug in that driver causes it", i gave this idea a try, scanning/fixing the ext4 partition externally, with gparted. This fixed the issue.

I've mentioned that it could possibly be my fault because i was actually reading a book in cool reader, and let the battery run empty. The battery was, most likely, improperly calibrated, too, so it was more or less like pulling the battery out for the OS. But thinking again, even if that was the case, ext4 shouldn't get corrupt to an extent of bringing the file system driver to it's death, together with the entire system, EVER.

So, what can i say... I really don't know, maybe i am looking in the wrong place, but something is definitely screwed up.

Sadly, i am far from being a Linux guru, or even being familiar enough with it to solve, or even properly speculate, on this type of issues :-(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] InfX:
Wanna do some testing ? Ready to sacrifice your data, too ? Start writing to ext4 and yank the battery. Do it again. And again. And again... You get what i mean.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fadzy:
I dont think im that lucky :p

But anyway, back to this rom, what do you guys think is faster? ext3 or ext4? ive always used ext4 but some people say that ext3 is faster/better, some say ext4 is better :confused: Both really seem to run the same for me. What are you guys using?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] InfX:
I just went though ext4 features list, and, seriously speaking, in our application, i really don't see why would you have any noticeable speed differences between ext3 and ext4, really. The only reason i may prefer ext3 is because its older, making it supposedly more mature/stable, but that's just a speculation anyway.

BTW, andrewf403, something i've just noticed while reading that... The journaling on ext4 can be disabled, potentially making the fs corruption-prone. We do have the journaling on, do we ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] fadzy:
Ill just stick to ext4 then.

About the journaling, ive seen many intrids (or initrds/inits)that allow you to activate/deactivate journalling, so maybe that should be a place to look?

eg quoting from rafpigna's thread

Hope that is of any help
[HD2 Android NAND Development] andrewf403:
Journaling is what makes filesystem more fail safe. Unsuccessful writes does not corrupt FS because of journaling. What can cause a corruptions on power loss with software not written with ext4 in mind (Android 2.2 is not, but 2.3 is) is delayed allocation and it is disabled. Also filesystem is checked for errors with fsck on every boot.

But if you are still want to blame journaling, you can simply try ext2. Maybe it'll be more reliable. :)

Yes, that's right. You can disable journaling, and this will gain some performance (only really notable by benchmark, though), but odds that you will have your filesystem corrupted every time you deplete your battery.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] InfX:
On the opposite, i was thinking "maybe the journaling is OFF" !
[HD2 Android NAND Development] andrewf403:
Oh, I misunderstood you, sorry.
