Let me add:

Robot voice on all calls, even though I have the latest radio installed.

I'm flashing back to 3.4. I can't use 4.1 either, since after 4 hours of use it crashed and wiped all my data.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bigu1975:
For me robo voice problem was solved by installing one of incallvolume file update.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] drsafwan:
Wireless not working

Installed the arabic version works perfect exept for the wifi it doesnt work at all ad if its not installed, it showd erorr in the setting, any ideas???
[HD2 Android NAND Development] atrako1973:
ya arab rom wifi gives error not workig

thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] BillTheCat:
A couple quick questions, please.

1) How do we upgrade from 3.5?

2) Is the high call volume fixed in 4.2? I had to revert to 3.5 from 4.1 because the phone was just unusable due to call volume.

3) If we have already formatted and used 2 partitions for ext4, will we need to reformat and start over if we upgrade, and if yes, are there instructions?

Thanks!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] saftazeen:
thanx dand ... again u did a great work

just am beggin u to gv more attention for DL.DesireHD.ARA coz i like it very much and i think alot of ppl gv the same attention but it hv some issues like wifi error etc..

so plz make it work :D:D :)

regards
[HD2 Android NAND Development] overshadowss:
YES +1 :D.......
[HD2 Android NAND Development] overshadowss:
reflash the same kernel or better download This .. unzip to root SD and restart Twice ..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dandiest:
i think in the new version ARB v1.3, all work fine, the wifi problem was only in v1.1
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jvillejoe:
CWM

Would love to use this but the fact i cant use cwm or I have to convert a daf to cwm is just a pain. CWM is by far way better to me. After using cwm I just cant see myself using daf or sd method ever again cwm is far more advanced. Ty for the build guy.:cool:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dandiest:
Yes system will auto use it if you don't have 2nd partition and is eu modal, or, just set data_img=1 to force system using it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] skyalvinlee:
Im on the eu model, using nand, i have a data.img on my sd but the system still doesn't use it even if i set config to data_img=1, here is my init log;

delete the data.img and let system regenerate it for you, btw you can set data_size=1024 for system generate a 1g data file or even don't use the config.txt, system will use the default 512m.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dimdimdim:
Unfortunately, yes, same for me.

- now the build runs really fast and smooth. And this is a plus in compare with 4.1

- but camera "wish list" bug. CMYLXGO made a fix http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=521292&d=1298064403, but me personally can't use it as there is no apk for my SD build.

- but that fact it is not possible to send photo directly from camera preview.

- but robovoice, which was not an issue for me with any previous builds.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dandiest:
for robot voice and all the sound related issue, please apply the incall volume fix on this 1st post or my test place.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dimdimdim:
Thanks, will try.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dimdimdim:
Ok, dandy, thanks one issue off! With uncalled volume fix2
[HD2 Android NAND Development] skyalvinlee:
Yes dandi, i followed and it created a 1024mb data.img but im still getting around 64mb of phone storage =/
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dandiest:
then you have to reflash the build I'm afraid.

Feedback to v1.3 ARB build @ http://bbs.drawchina.com/viewthread.php?tid=3331

Lots of improvements, but slow boot and new data.img 512mb in sdcard when I rename it and reboot I see critical error in init.log

I'm using NAND on TMOUS. what's data.img? and how to disable it to gain space? config.txt command maybe?

Thank you.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] aduly:
Where is the link to download....v4.2 ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ErMeglio:
Hi to all,

I admit I am very newbie in using Android in NAND with HD2 ( I have a Desire HD), but I'd like to make it usable for a friend and even reading LOTS of posts/wikis/etc I'm still getting crazy since two-three days to make it work the right way.

I installed MAGDLR and I'm able to flash roms with Usb Flasher + DAF or with boot from AD SD method. I was able to install this 4.2 and it works wonderfully. So far, so good.

What I still don't understand is how to use the config.txt to make it use the NAND for the ROM and the SD for the apps, because after installing some apps the phone memory is obviously already full and becomes unusable very soon : just Flash, Gmail, Maps, Reader lock it all. Having ~15MB of free space does the trick and it's very usable and amazingly fast again. So, how to use the SD to load the apps there? What's data.img? Is it the "file?" used to save the apps? What's ext4 used for (I know it's a partition type) and is it created on the SD? I come to understand I can use the sd with 3 partitions: 1 for ext4 automatically used for apps I install, 1 for swap, 1 for my personal files, right? I still don't understand why in some places I read about 4 partitions. Should I enable swap? I've read to use z4root and ModInstallLocation but it didn't work at all, z4root almost locked everything for hours, superusers crashed many times, it often gave "Oops, bronken pipe!" when running ModInstallLocation. To see if the phone is rooted I used busybox installer from the market and it says I'm rooted but can't install busybox saying there could be nand locks!? So I guess this is not the right method to do this, and I should "simply" use the Data2SD function of this rom. So I did all over again and put this rom again with DAF, having in the 8GB sd a Desire_DL folder with only a config.txt in it, with written into it:

Is it the right method to make it parse it? After doing this I did two reboots because I've read it needs them to use the Data2SD function and correctly parse the config.txt and do the partitions. I also noticed a init.log file in the sd saying something like "Partitioning for Data2SD ok. All done! Going on now :D" so I guess it successfully formatted the ext4 on the sd, 1536MB big, right? Well, so, two-three reboots, but the "free memory" is always the same, and after installing the same "base" apps it complains of no memory left. I've also read I'm not supposed to see the actual free space there, and that I need to reboot to "increase" of 20MB the free space. I did this with no luck. After rebooting it has some more free space but after 1/2 minutes it gets full again doing anything, starts complaining and it's not usable at all.

So, in short, can someone explain how to act for: loading the rom from NAND, having 1536MB ext4 on sd for the apps, if it's advisable, having swap on the sd as suggested many times in various tutorials (even if it's a class 2 sd?), seeing if it's all right and checking the actual free space for the apps.

Thanks, sorry for the loooong post...but I really am out of cartridges after days of reading and studying :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] spinhbar:
Greetings all!

I flashed 4.2 over 3.5 and successfuly kept all apps and settings.

Partitions:

1st-FAT32, 2nd-ext4 (2g), 3rd-ext4

Issues:

1. Robot voice.

2. When recording video at 800x480 there is no sound (at 720p there is sound but no image).

3. "HTC Mail" FCs.

Flashed back to 3.5 and everything came back to normal. Nothing lost! :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] men$hoot:
Hi,

I had that FC also in 3.5 Version,,,as I tried to partition the First EXT4 to 1,5 Gb but, I´m not sure if thats the reason why we had this Force Close.

Just tried to make a clean Installation (save your Apps etc.) then flashed it again

with 1 GB EXT4 and 512 EXT4 for swap. I think it helps a lot to have a clean Installation, coz I had in 3.4 and 3.5 Version a lot of FC. Now I´m using 4.2 and at the moment my phone works really fast and smooth,,, don´t have any bugs or errors found yet.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ErMeglio:
Can you please explain what to write in config.txt the first time I flash this build to have the same configuration you use?

Sent from my Desire HD
[HD2 Android NAND Development] men$hoot:
I installed from 4.1 to 4.2

My config.txt :

===============================

DL DesireZ v4.2

===============================

format_ext4=1

gps_zone=us (here put your land code) US only an example.

***********

I didn't put any extra settings. But remember to save your files and apps. Because, this will formatted your EXT4 Partition.

My Partitions:

Primary Fat32= 13Gb

Primary ext4= 1024 mb

Primary ext4= 512 mb (swap)

why is teeter removed from 4.1? can you bring it back, love the game and love your builds!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] whiteshark09:
I'm very noob...sorry!!! V4.1

I have two folders: Desire_DL and Update_DL

I put both inside my SD root

I change the config.txt (for v4.1 or 3.5)

.

.

.

.

.

AND NOW?!?!?!

Which flash i must use???? The flash inside the SD???? The flash inside the decompressed folder in my desktop??? And about Update_DL??? If i delete it, the flash make the same result!!!

Please, help!!!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] BillTheCat:
I had this problem when restoring my data using TiBU to 3.5 after experimenting with 4.1 which had the loud call volume problem for me.

Try going to the application manager, go to mail, clear cache, clear data. You'll need to recreate your accounts, but it works.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] BillTheCat:
Duplicate post.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dandiest:
OK, the hotfix is here http://www.multiupload.com/22W7AUX85N

which is compulsory for DesireZ v4.2, DHD v1.3t and v1.3s, ARB v1.3

DesireZ v4.2:

1. robot voice and voice related problems.

2. can not use data.img

3. auto create a data.img despite it is tmous modal, (my interim fix is to set the data_img=0, need further investigation our auto detect function)

4. button led always on.

5. swype installation issue.

DesireHD v1.3t and v1.3s

1. same as above 2,3 and 4.

2. miss the htc news.

DesireARB v1.3

1.same as the 2,3 and 4 from DesireZ v4.2

Just extract the Desire_DL and Update_DL to the root of your folder, boot.

for 1st install, put the hotfix before the 1st boot. (this is better)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Daekin:
thanx...I am going to try that :)

@dandienst: btw...you mentioned that you will focus on girgerbread now? :)

did you mean THIS base? It should not be hard to port because Huashan has almost identical hardware as HD2...it used to run WinMo too, I got one WinMo ROM ported from Huashan to HD2... ;) and it has new Sense 2.1 :p
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ErMeglio:
Thanks! What about your partitions? I mean, have they been created with those settings the first time? With these dimensions? Or have you done a different procedure like creating them with the pc/linux/cardreader help?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ErMeglio:
Is switching off and on the phone enough?

I can't do "Boot AD SD" as explained in the first post. I did choose the Desire~1 folder but as soon as I choose Boot AD SD it says "SD kernel open failed". How to do?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] :
cant install ''update.stockframe.2010122701.sh'' and ''uninstall.stockframe.2010122701.sh'' on 4.1 because when i try it reboots in a endless loop so is there another way to remove those fly animations and get the default one back
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mamumami:
does this rom use a slide down lockscreen, or a slide to right lockscreen. i prefer slide to right, because i would automatically answer calls with slide down lockscreen.

and if it has slide down , then is there anyway to change it because i really like this rom.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] :
it uses the default one from sense so slide down to unlock
[HD2 Android NAND Development] BillTheCat:
Dandi, this is another case where using a Twitter account would help us all know when updates are ready, and perhaps decrease the number of posts on the forum since users will know when things are fixed and not post duplicate questions. It is just a coincidence I checked here now to find this patch. Just wanted to make the suggestion again.

Thanks for all your hard work!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] krogoth:
Stock framework from 1st page doesn't work anymore.

I have Fixed framework myself for 1.3s so You can Try mine. This should work on 4.2.

I'ts almost stock framework with battery percentage and NO EXTRA ANIMATIONS - only stock.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] :
well, i tried to install it with htc sync but nothing changed so i'm guessing that i'm doing something wrong or it doesnt work on 4.1
[HD2 Android NAND Development] men$hoot:
Yes, I created first with a free program and partition it to EXT3, coz the prog I used supports only ext3 then I set the config.txt to format the two EXT3 to EXT4.

that's all.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dXsL:
I got 4.2 and the fix for 4.2

but I'm confused though... HOW to apply the fix for 4.2 *before* 1st boot???

the fix contains as usual 2 folders. normally, update_dl and desire_dl are put in SD root, and with the next reboot these folders are read and applied.

but how on earth can I apply them *before* 1st boot? :confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] heymen9x:
im from vietnam , so i config gps_zone=vietnam

that's right ?

sorry for my English texts if it wrong :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ErMeglio:
Thanks.

I managed, using format_ext4=9, to make it format the sd for my needs!!

I only noticed now the disadvantage is that the download/install of the apps from the market makes the phone irresponsible for some minutes. I can live with it, if there are not alternatives. I see in init.log it says nand optimization off. Should I enable this? I also use swap_mode=3, isn't it a nand optimization studied for this specific issue?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] krogoth:
Don't install it.... put it in sd card\Update_DL\root\system\framework
[HD2 Android NAND Development] men$hoot:
me too,,,but after 4.2 installed just realized that outgoing/incoming calls sounds robot and I installed the fixed right away. Bugs was fixed and calls are working now correctly. (boot animation is also nice) Nice work.

after fix 4.2 Installed:

The right button in Display didnt work! has anybody also got this problem?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Daekin:
Ok, here is my status report from DHD 1.3s - part 1

note for future reference: I always use this as NAND ROM (not magldr or SD)

-I tried format_ext4=9 - it works finally, but it is incompatible with Update_DL folder: I copied update DL folder and set format to 9, then flasthed and done 1st boot - the booscreen animation was NOT changed (so I assume all files were deleted before they could be copied to NAND)

- I like new boot animation, but I dont like new wallpaper :p

- when used nand_data=1 on first boot too, the ROM was able to boot (previous version were not able to do so, we had to set that options on 2nd boot) but after 2nd and 3rd boots in init.log there is still "NOT using nand optimizations" => nand data option NOT working

- when set sd boost later (not before 1st boot) - all my widgets and settings are gone..... when set to 0 all data are there again
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nemuro:
With all the respect for your work, this rom, for me, is the slowest.

Not talking about quadrant scores but just as normal feel.

I use DesireZ Nand, 4.1 with the folowing partition layout on a class 6 8gb sd card:

1. fat32 remaining from 8gb

2. ext4 1024

3. ext4 512

4. linux-swap 128mb

*I used the format-ext thing to format my secondary ext on first install.

- as someone posted before me, there is a huge freeze/lag when installing an app. The phone practically freezes for a a good ~5 seconds.

- the wake-up lag is also pretty high, it's almost doubled from other builds (maybe because of all that data that resides on sd card?).

The only good thing about this rom that I can say is that it has almost a ~20 increase in battery life.

Don't get me wrong, I was a bigger fan of the older builds (3.3) of dandiest, but the newer have better battery. The newer builds tent to get slower and slower.

Nothing personal, all the best.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] :
thanks for the file it worked!

[HD2 Android NAND Development] dandiest:
Very regret to release the new version here, Should have kept in the test area to sort out all the issues before releasing it publicly, but then, also incur a lot of complaining why don't release it here. headache.

freak is working on solving some bugs in the new init, should get it fixed soon.

I will keep the 1st post update for solving some common issue, please always check it before you ask.

the hotfix has already included all the other fixes, so you only need to apply one, this is the approach I will adopt going forward, that, a new fix will included all the existing fixed to date, so you only need to apply once, and all the other individual fixes will be removed accordingly.

btw, I have set up the twitter at: http://twitter.com/dandiest, so next time, I just update it. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] qaliza:
Really confused

First of all thank you so much dandiest for the wonderful ara v1.3 working great. But I'm a bit confused with the config.txt thing.

Here is exactly what I did

1- downloaded the ara v1.3 and hot fix from that chinese site. (there was no config.txt file)

2- partitioned my 4 GB SD card as follows

1- fat32 3 GB

2- ext4 512 MB

3- ext4 256 MB

4- swap 100 MB

3- copied the hot fix folders as u mentioned and installed the rom using daf

5- The rom is installed and works really great but one strange thing.when I opened the sd card in gparted I found this

1-fat32 3 GB GREEN

2- ext4 512 MB BLUE

3- ext4 unknown format BLACK

4-swap 100 MB RED

Plz tell me if I'm missing anything and what about the config.txt file.

Thankyou.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] freak007:
When you used format_ext4=9, the only folder restored is Desire_DL and init.log file. Updates are applied after all filesystems tasks.

I don't use nand_data, but i can take a look on it.

Normally, sd_boost can not be responsible of lost widgets, the option disable only journaling of the 2nd partition.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] freak007:
Are you using new 4.2 with last hotfix ?

Then, use this initrd:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QQO0SZ7N
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Daekin:
well...I tried both ways (sd boost 1 and 0 before 1st boot): when you set sd boost before first boot, you must keep that setting all time or you will lose all widgets but setting it back to former value it restores the data - so I suppose the mount as loop device is not working good - it mounts the partition on another mountpoint and therefore it cannot read partition when mounted without loop device afterwards....check the mountpoints with and without sd bopost active. THX
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Daekin:
is this compatible with DHD 1.3s ? is it the new update dandienst mentioned you will provide soon?

EDIT: by the way...the latest 1.3s seems really slow - lags are everywhere (using 3 partitions, swap mode 3 and sd boost 1) - will try without swap mode 3 and without sd boost later. 1.2s was a way faster
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dandiest:
yes, it is the new update, I will re-compile it and added in some new fixes to be 2nd hotfix.

btw, I would suggest you using the format_ext4=9 to auto-partitioning you sdcard.

the ext4 in our build is formated by very different method, if you encounter the lag issue, you should always use the format_ext4=9 to re-partitioning and re-format you sd card.

I have studied some case, some lag is due to the sdcard was not partition aligned, it is a big topic, you can refer to here http://www.patriotmemory.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3696
