i have no idea how i could survive and run the normal things i run without a SD card

I would have to struggle a day without my SD card to provide conclusive results at least

now recalling, whenever i mount USB disk drive to PC from my Android SD card, the ROM has never frozen.

last resort, before i also conclude that the hardware is faulty

i have 2 more options :

flash CLK and run PPP data instead of RMNET

migrate everything to my other HD2, which is another model from another shop and another batch of HD2's , flashed already with HSPL 2.08 and Radio 2.15

a day without both my phones can really be horrifying hence I have leave applied for next week, for me to have some chill out time and probably now, on top of that list is to get my HD2's sorted out

POST : 777 w00t just to release some of that stressssss

Additional Findings :

Ejected SD Card

Boot up

The ROM actually boots up into emptiness, as though there are no apps and nothing installed, a clean ROM. even my ADW launcher which replaced the launcher pro plus is not booted up . strange though, its like a fresh ROM though i would have assumed that at least some of those PHONE ONLY apps would still be existent
[HD2 Android NAND Development] htchd2sucks:
Hello again!

So I installed GBXv12- yesterday.

Although I run into misunderstanding issues because I tried to do a "task29" and reflash the radio to have a clean device.

1) I could not because I had no active sync connection, the device having already hyperdroid gbx older version. On the 1st page instructions are installing from a "windows os".

2) Therefore, my process started from leaving MAGLR in the device. (it was same version anyway). So it's like step 3 (3. Download the appropriate ClockWorkMod 150MB file from...) of there http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10702852&postcount=2

3) I made sure to clean alvin cache, etc... but I dont know if it was properly hard reset...Also I had formatted the MicroSD memory card prior to flash.

Is that correct process from there? Did I introduce problems by not doing a task 29? (how to do it anyway without activesync?)

Everything seems to work fine and smooth (much smoother than when I wrongly installed the 250MB clock thing).

But the GPS seems to take loooong to find and it seems not to be recognised well in my programs (Aura GPS and Copilot 8). Maybeit's normal or maybe I need something like "quickfixGPS"...?

Also, I noticed the USB debugging is there and activated... I activated it with old version of hyperdroid so i'm wondering if that is not a left over!

Thanks for comments!

PS: it seems still very nice hyperdroid GBX version :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Eelkede:
Gps always takes long the first time, it was something with no ability to write A-gps data in the library. There are fixes for this, Fasterfix on the market, to set your device to your country. And, there is the .zip you can install via CWM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=953630

This will make it lock faster (read original thread for details and how-to)

I don't understand your question about USB debugging:

I'd recommend to leave it on, since some apps use this tool to work with syncing.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] htchd2sucks:
Hello, thanks!

The USB debugging was off by default on my old hyperdroid GBX. Then I activated to use "titanium backup" and like 10 minutes after I formatted and installed GBX12. When I used GBX 12 I noticed it was "on". So it's possible it was a left over, meaning my system was not completely formatted.

Thanks for the GPS I will look your links.

So far (i'm doing research since my reply here):

1) If one has still winmo on the device, they needs to get the latest gps fix. For some reasons it appears only winmo devices can write to the GPS CHIP and insert the latest gps fix data to accelerate the fix.

2)Using root explorer, I looked into /system/etc/gps.conf and replaced the ntp servers from my location. By default it was:

server 0.us.pool.ntp.org

...

I replaced by

server 0.ch.pool.ntp.org

(info here:

http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/ch)

Then I restarted the device.

So far I have not noticed any improvments but it will probably save some precious seconds as the "ping" from CH is faster than the ping from US for me.

3) I used "gps fix" from the android market and wait to see if any improvement is made. So far I think it's not working well.

I will update the info soon.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tmihai20:
I installed Tytung's GPS libraries 1.3 and I must say GPS found a strong fix in 2 tries when I used it for the first time (it found the satellites, then it lost connection and after a while it found a stable connection). Every time I used GPS it found a lock in about 20 to 30 seconds with the car moving. I also used FasterFix from the market just like I did before. I suggest you use Tytung's libraries.

Can someone please test this game free on market

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.secretexit.dismount

I'm trying to figure out why i'm unable to run it, force closes on start. Wondering if this is related to our rom
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tmihai20:
I noticed that the latest Angry Birds update on all games force the app to be located in the internal memory. I was trying to update the games installed on the SD card. Maybe you can move the game in the internal memory. I do not use this ROM, maybe somebody else using this ROM can try running the game :)

HI, I found that all apk download from market will cache to path /cache which only 5MB large. So it fail download larger that 5MB from market. Any way can change the system.cache to /data/cache for market??
[HD2 Android NAND Development] InfX:
So i am not the only one this happens to, am i ? Nobody seemed to responds when i've asked about this quite a few posts ago :-(

Anyway, just symlink the /cache/download to some place on SD card as a temporary solution. Read this post in case you need instructions on how to do this, but do replace "emmc" there with "sdcard".

:-(

Hi is there an easy way to recover a deleted video from this ROM, or is it just a standard recovery program for the sd card?

cant seem to install other kernels

i noticed ever since I used tytung kernels on NAND or even SD card builds, my phone freezes up with DATA turned ON :(

i tried another recommendation of kernel called v11 and v11_UV, as well as RAF 1.9 OC and they all dont work :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Filipeknot:
How are you doing this?

Rafpigna 1r9 OC GB works fine at the moment!

Flash Hyperdroid via CWM and don't restart! Go to install ZIP -> Select ZIP and flash the 1r9 Kernel too!

OK for me!

Google Maps 5.6.0

Guy's,

Does annyone else has the problem with updating Google Maps? I can't update, download starts but stops after 1 sec. I uninstalled Maps and reinstalled it but also then it stops after 1 sec.

Clear cache also didnt solve the problem...

Could anyone share the apk?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] htchd2sucks:
Hi,

I have GBX12 Hyperdroid and I tried googlemaps with no issues-

I download it from the market and it worked fine-

A possible issue with yours: Have you used the 150MB image for clock thing? Last time the tutorial was not clear (it's properly updated now) and I had put the 250MB one_ it resulted in GPS applications to run very slow and buggy-
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mattijs86:
I'm using a 120MB recovery size....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] banglastyle:
The only solution to this is to do the clock recovery again. I only had 4mb cache which wasn't enough for google map to download. Other solution is to download apk to ur pc and...so ob. I suggest to increase your cache to 25mb. May be in future u want to download angry birds from market and you will have the same problem.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] htchd2sucks:
Well it's your issue here then-

I think it says on the 1st page of this topic to use 150MB...

(3. Download the appropriate ClockWorkMod 150MB file from)

:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jcsy:
i have managed to flash RAF 1.9 OC GB , same problems persists for me

i have tried other ROM's as well, same problem with DATA =.=
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mkamodang:
I am using gbx 12 for almost two months now. It was very smooth and fast then but now it started hanging while receiving calls. I have 129 mb internal memory free and my sd-extn also has more than 600 mb free space. Call drop and losing network is getting frequent. I dont want to move to other rom becos so far this is one of my favorite rom and I would like to stay on. I would appreciate much if some expert can suggest solution to my problem. I am using 16 gb sd card transcend and my radio is 2.10 (i changed from 2.15 recently hoping that it would improve the network connectivity). Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sidxda:
Yeah I'm experiencing somewhat the same problems as mentioned in the above post :( but only a couple of times earlier did the phone this force closed. However the network signal is often lost
[HD2 Android NAND Development] banglastyle:
I love this rom. But I am having a problem with call waiting. Whenever I am on a call and get a 2nd call I don't hear the notification. I miss many calls. My waiting is on. And I tried the sim on different phone....the call waiting notification works with tone. But on this rom I don't hear the call waiting tone. I have looked at all the possible settings. Anyone else experienced this provlem? Or a solution to this? Please help. Thanks

Forgive me if this has already been addressed (search on the XDA app is unusable) but I have two HD2's that seem to randomly redial.

Has anyone experienced this?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] BoterKlontje:
I do also experience the problem my connection suddenly drops, normally after 10-15 seconds, though it only happens while I am in a particular area. For example when I am at my university I have no problems calling people, but I am at my gf place the connection drops in 10-15 seconds. Though previously I had no problems with my phone.

So is it only me having this call waiting problem?

When using some Live Wallpaper, the screen effects and menu are slow and laggy! Why?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] askalin:
We know it is difficult to develop/maintain the ROM for a such old device. No exciting and no benefits. but lots of detailed works.

But this work is really excellent, through the using from the first day that have this ROM v12 till now, almost without any issue and smooth working everyday. I like and appreciate this ROM and it may be my last ROM on HD2, and I will keep using it for a long time.

So, how about a happy ending? Fixing the little bug now and without wasting too much time from your busy life. I would like to have a family soon and I know it is really busy.

Thank you.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jcsy:
i might have found the solution to my dreaded screen freezing but have no proof for it to send to warranty :(

i swapped the Android build across to my other HD2 and wallah, works flawlessly now!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jcsy:
those each your CPU & MEM

it will lag your device and drain battery :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Eelkede:
The last bugs are the most difficult to fix. Just be glad it works for 99%, and it is sometimes even better than native android phones. If you really want bug fixes and flash your phone, just try another ROM. No use to come here and ask for updates, they will come, but with so little to fix, don't expect them every week anymore.

CWM Partition Size

I've modified mine, by editing the Flash.cfg file ... using 100MB partition, with Rom 330 MB storage free, running fine,

the heat issues as far as I can gather are Hardware related ...

Quick Question

Love your ROm amn.... Good Job :)

A small ques though..

Can we remove the Launcher Pro coz it takes a lot of time to load on boot ... plus i dont like it that much...

I wanted the original Gingerbread launcher

Cheers
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jcsy:
most of them do :)

anyways, which live wallpaper and whether it was optimized or not

besides, our hardware is really getting old and ok, CPU wise we might be great but GPU wise, we are quite far behind already but its fine

its 2011 already and our phones rocking hard and fast with Android
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cunione:
I have many call drops too. I thought it was because I was going from one antenna (phone relay, cell tower) to a second one... By t it seems that is not the problem.. But the fact is that, for me, those call drops are always happening in the same place, everyday !!!!

I tried changing radio rom, but the problem remains...

And by the way, I'm also experincing many phone connection drops during the day. :mad:

This is a detail because this rom is very great and awesooooooooooome !

he didnt die of nappies my friend , be patient
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MrWalker:
Hi guys!

I just installed this, and it's blizzard fast!

I do have a problem, though, and I guess I should have been able to figure it out... but I'm not. I've installed the 150MB Recovery size, and i'm getting 210MB free after installing, it says 217MB total space is available originally.

However, I'm on a LEO with 1024MB RAM in the outset. Why can't I get more than 210MB available with this ROM? And If I can.... how do I get it? Thanks :-)

I have been asking for help on this issue for months now but nothing yet.

I honestly just dont get what I am doing wrong here.

The phone runs windows mobile 6.5 without any problems what so ever. No hangs, no strange battery drains... nothing. But it just seems to refuse to run android.

Please, some help will be much appreciated.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] MIG_30:
i used to have some similar problems i solved them by:

1-task 29

2-install latest original htc rom

3-install maglr 1.13

4-install recovery (latest)

5-install rom from recovery menu (im using hyperdroid gbx11)

and all is running soothly , even the phone lag that i used to have on v12 im not having with v11
[HD2 Android NAND Development] smiet:
I've got the same, at 1190 and 1152 my phone just slowly dies... It becomes slower, and sometimes freezes or reboots. At 1113 and governor "performance" I have no problems for so far (2 days), running very smooth (imho not significantly faster than 998 in daily use):)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Lorddeff07:
Thanks will try. doesnt installing the latest HTC rom mean that I have to install HSPL again too?

so just to be clear...

I am either doing exactly what you said and assuming it doesnt affect my HSPL. Or if after 1 and 2 my HSPL reverts back to the official one I just install MSPL 2.08 again right?

Thanks for the help so far, you can't start to understand how frustrating this has been.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jcsy:
Your radio 2.12, should try to remove it by flashing 2.15 and maybe downgrade back to 2.12 if u like that radio
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tmihai20:
If you install the latest original ROM, you will hve SPL 3.03. MAGLDR needs HSPL 2.08 in order to work. You can do a task29, but be sure to flash HSPL 2.08 or MAGLDR won't load (or CLK, if you'are using it).
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jasont88:
do you have update kernel to either r9 or r10?? If yes, the cache size will be only 5MB for market download (you can check the size of "\cache\" with root explorer), it cause can't download apps from market which bigger than 5MB (google Map around 6MB). The solution can find from earlier post or flash the original GBX12 again.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Lorddeff07:
Thanks a lot but unfortunately it still didnt work. :(

I have done everything u said, at least thrice, even used 3 different SD cards. 3 different radios, and did everything thrice for every single card.

Android still just doesn't work. At least I get past the Go go go screen now but i get stuck at the android logo. It stays theer for a while then the phone auto restarts. Every single time.

What i dont get though is how every other winmo 6.5 rom including the official ones just work but android just doesnt....

I know about the whole bent battery pin thingy, but its my guess that if that was the case my problem wouldn't be limited to only android.

Anymore more suggestions anyone? I am on the verge of tossing my phone down the toilet.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] GroteBozewolf:
Did you try Hyperdroid CM7? It's also from Pongster but has a more recent kernel and Android 2.3.4.

EDIT: I do assume that you flash the MAGLDR version and not the CLK version?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pereira6david:
It is surely a silly question but, have you done the right partitioning?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jcsy:
how about , without SD card :) ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] talt:
Did you try with your phone charging/not charging while you boot?

Do you have non original battery? If yes can you put original one and try then?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Lorddeff07:
No I am not sure I tried Hyperdroid CM7, have tried so many so far. On which version I flash though, yes I flash the MAGLDR version and not the CLK version. As I said I was once running android just fine on my phone. And this has been happening for too long.

If you are referring to using the rigght CWM partion size for the roms yes I have. Every single time i try to get it to work again I do fresh new downloads of everything.

And just recently I discovered the HD@ Nand Kit which makes this all even easier. But still nothing :(. If you are refering to formating the SD card, using the right file system, ext3,ext4, primary partitions, ckuster sizes....etc; well, I have tried them all too :(

Is it possible to install an android rom without an SD card? If it is please let me know how. But if you are referring to taking out the SD card after the install and before boot... I have tried that too.

Well, not sure if I have tried with my phone charging or not charging while I boot. Guess I will give that one a shot. And no I am using an original HTC battery. Remember, with the phone exactly as it is i did manage to get android running on it for a while in the past.

Thanks for all your responses... I am still open to any suggestions :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pchintan:
Ok, so I did something bonehead.... Trying to remove LauncherPro, I remaned the apk in /system/app and /system/data directories to .apk.bak After I rebooted I realized that I did need some launcher to make the phone work.

Ever since then I have been trying to get the phone to work, but it is stuck in the boot phase. I tried to reinstall v12 but still get the same issue. I tried to do a restore using clockwork, but the md5 doesn't match so I an hosed there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tmihai20:
Try flashing the original zip over the existing installation. Clear cache partition and Dalvik cache eventually, just as you would do when upgrading normally.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] pchintan:
Thanks! I am trying this as of now. Will post an update.

Edit: Still the same issue. I just need a way to overwrite the app and data files. Or somehow get into the file system and rename the blasted apk.bak to apk.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cunione:
UP !!!!!!!!

This problem is really boring ! :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] optyqus:
I encourage you to try cLK instead of Magldr. cLK is a more "direct" android bootloader and is becoming more and more popular.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Lorddeff07:
Tried that too, not luck there too. After install it just hangs at the android logo.

I have given up, just installed windows mobile back on the phone and that is working fine lol.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jcsy:
after booting up Windows Mobile,

how about SD builds? American Android? MCCM?

how about a different kernel, from RAF or V11 ?

[HD2 Android NAND Development] lufeig:
sorry if my question sounds too dumb... but are you sure you have a genuine htc hd2, and not a chinese clone? there's even a dual-sim clone that really looks like the real thing.

yes, he is alive... maybe he did not release an update because this rom is pretty fast and stable, and/or because pongster has a real life besides the forum, he could also have a family and priorities other than hyperdroid gbx rom cooking...

but wait, he has released the source code... how about you developing and releasing an update, or maybe just contribute somehow, instead of demanding updates like this?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] renna1992:
guys. seriously. how hard is it for the both of you that some people (and sir pongster is one of them) have a private life, away from roms, the computer or anything related to that.

just give the man his time with his family and be grateful for what he has done already.
