just ask...

is there can be update "easy" from previous build..?

like method update from v1.1 to v1.2 to v1.3 or be different..?

(since v1.4 is different then previous build) :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Mcc05:
Well put on the flash fix, removed the overclocking and it works very well, video is smooth even on media quality.

sandmac, the only other thing I changed before the flash fix was the network connection to ppp mode which seems faster.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] stickydonkey:
Here we go again... F5 club, reassemble, BEGIN. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Thanks for the feedback. Will try changing to ppp mode and see if this makes a difference. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Mcc05:
Dito, if you need another test would be happy to join, have been looking into automated testing app for android to make a regresion test pack to test the core functionality in builds.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] raviluke:
I tried changing to PPP but the Rom became quite unstable. I'd personally won't recommend.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Mcc05:
Forgot to mention, even now it sometimes still opens and closes straight back to the menu, but if I retry a couple of times it works.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Mcc05:
Strange I've been running it on ppp since I installed v 1.2 and its been fine.

Is it network dependant?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
Nice one Sergio the only issues i have are the boot up time still taking too long and the lag when scrolling asides from that it's all good.:)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] despy1989:
Try reformatting your SD-ext partition with 4 kb cluster size thru Easeus. You can restore your settings back after this using CWM advanced restore function. It has made a difference to my bootup time to an average of 1.45 min
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
sounds good to me, how exactly do i format SD-ext partition with 4 kb cluster size thru Easeus, can you tell me how to do this?

thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sergio76:
Applanet is down lol
[HD2 Android NAND Development] sandymac:
Sorry but still can't get it working. :( Thanks again for your help, anyway. Will stick to Skyfire as quality is very good. ;)

anyone notice that the bottom black bar is missing from the lockscreen?

Not 2.7.8. It's online all day :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] adya_2505:
found solution to the inverted colours/negative screen problem.

i had this problem 4-5 times .. everytime i had to restart the phone to solve it... today when this happened i pressed the end button .. when the screen went blank i pressed the end button and before the screen could come back up again i pressed the end button then when i woke up the cell colours were normal !!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] maans:
hey dude!

with all due respect to all the hardwork done by you and I admit at being a big big fan of your ROMs, buddy , i know u have mentioned this in your FAQ but you need to do something about hotfile.The transfers take way too long for downloads even though i am a premium user. I request your honour to kindly look into this matter and provide mirrors.

always in respect and awe of your work,

maans.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] c0rp1:
+1 on that question ... and I would like to know what exactly to do when I want to make a fresh install ?

I mean I revert my SD Card back to full FAT32 format with GParted ... and then I followed the tutorial and made the ext3 partition using ClockworkMod Recovery. But it doesn`t let you chose the cluster size .

If you can write a short tutorial on how exactly do you make an EXT3 partition with 4kb cluster size thru Easeus and how does this change the steps of installing the ROM ?

Thanks !
[HD2 Android NAND Development] raviluke:
I agree with you dude. Hotfile is extremely slow and we do have to have mirrors.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] BRB2HH:
Hey @all.

It's simple.

1. Just download the aesus partition manager 7.0.1 and install it.

2. (shut down the hd2) Put your sd card in a usb card reader os other method in pc.

3. You have to right click on the ext3 partition and choose format. There you can choose the cluster size.

I actually use this method too and my hd2 runs very good. For me.

regards
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Rudyfastcat:
Hotfile works good for me. :)

Have you checked your firewall & antivirus settings ?

Camcorder Issue

Hi Sergio and Team, Thanks for this excellent ROM.

I have a issues with Camcorder. When I record and play back for 1 minute, the Sound and Video are not in Sync and also replay is not smooth. I have applied the fix which is mentioned by DaDoctor. It is fixed, but not fully.

one more is GPS issue. The GPS location showing is not that accurate.

Any suggestions.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] despy1989:
Ext 3 partition formatting

Just to detail that

1) CWM backup the ROM fully

2) Shutdown HD2

3) SD card in card reader

4) Download / install on pc - EASEUS partition master free home edition http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm

5) SD crd reader in PC - start up EASEUS

6) Drive should showup as 2 partitions

7) Click on the ext 3 partition and from easeus menu bar select - format option window select 4 kb cluster size, then on left side panel select - apply. let format be complete and then exit easeus, eject drive from pc

Thats it!

thanks man;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
No worries. :)

Cheers!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
what have i done wrong:eek: i followed your steps and when finished went into advance restore and restored the back up i made before formatting ext 3 but it hasn't worked and it now looks as if i have flashed a completely new build withut making any back up,ill go into advance restore again and hopefully it might work otherwise im gonna have to set up my phone all over again from scratch:confused:

edit - i can see all my apps so i dunno what is happening, im getting loads of fc's as well
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
Okay Jonny, from what I understand you are having a problem getting your smartkeyboard to work. Fishawy had the answer, hold your text field and a imput method option will pop up. Choose that, then your keyboard. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] despy1989:
It looks like the SD ext partition did not recover correctly. if you have a full CWM backup try a full restore (avoids the FC's problems). You may have done this already but just repeat the process once please and check and make sure you are selecting the correct saved recovery file in CWM ( apologies for mentioning this)

I have tried the process atleast 6-7 times before and 2 times on 1.4 itself so don't really understand why it did not work?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
i would like to answer this one too. It´s very simple. You don´t need to do anything else but use the instructions. I have tried in different ways, but i couldn´t find a problem. You could do the manual format with the ext partition, but there´s really no need.

Do this:

Partition your complete sd card, after backup, with fat32.

Enter CWM and partition your sd card within the advance menu.

Use 1024gb and 0mb.

end button

install a zip from sd

choose zip

install zip.

Try this method. Sergio and we have tested this method as update and clean install. Never a problem. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
yeah thanks i got that but ive other more pressings things on my mind now after formatting ext 3 and then restoring most of my apps are still there but everything else isnt:eek:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
no mate you've got this mixed up i was only trying to format ext 3 and set cluster size 4 as recommended in order to speed up the boot time i wasn't trying to flash a ROM.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
where i may have gone wrong (possible) - first time when in advanced restore i only selected restore sd-ext and then reboot system now whereas i should've probably restored everything, ill go into advanced restore again and this time restore everything except just the sd-ext and hopefully this will work.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
Alright understand what you meant. :) I have done that one also. The bootup time depends on a lot of things.

How many apps need to be updated, do you have your syncs on auto or not. I did a partition of the 4kb, and found no difference. I have always found, that when I use the normal format option with CWM, that it works best for this ROM.

If you compare from v1 to the v1.4, you´ll see that the bootup time has always improved. It depends of course what you have running in the backgroud.

Hope this helps. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] crx4xharder:
Has anyone found a way to speed up this rom anymore than what it is already? Ive got a 1024 partition, no animations, no setcpu, vmheap is at 36 (tried higher and, 36 is best ), I occasionally use adw ex when I feel a need for speed lol and its wicked fast. So maybe senseui is the issue for my random lag. Coming from my mytouch 4g, I'm starting to miss the awesomeness of more ram... Figured id see what everyone thinks. ;-P
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
Have you tried using Spare Parts?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
Been beta-testing v1.5 .. Rest assured guys, it's faster & smoother than ever. Plus, the new font, new dialer design, and the new icons are just awesome.

The whole thing will just blow your minds away :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Bingoig11:
How could it be faster than 1.4 lol I cannot figure out how? :p
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nobnut:
The lag whilst loading lists and during install... for starters.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
Yeeeees! Very true Fishawy.

Two ways to do this one guys!

Update...

New clean install....

If your version doesn´t run good now, then just do a new complete install. You can always use Titanium Backup to restore you apps. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] BRB2HH:
That's how I did it and FOR ME it's fine.

For step 1 it's important to check that the ext3 is backuped. Sometimes cwm skipped the ext3. Sometimes Cwm isn't able to see/detect the ext3.

After step 7 you should be able to advanced restore the backup from the ext3.

FOR ME THIS IS A GOOD WAY. I CAN'T SAY IF THIS WAY IS RECOMMENDED BY SERGIO. GENERALY HIS WAY SHOULD BE THE SAFELIEST.

best regards
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
You'll see, lol .. It's like a freaking phantom :D

None of the above is there :)

Yessir! If your current ROM isn't running well, it's recommended not to update & do a clean installation instead .
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nobnut:
Cough cough.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
Because it´s been slimmed down a lot. When booting there are something turned off that you can manually turn on, like gps. These extra things use battery, resourses, and the bootup time for the hd2.

Sergio promised from the beginning, that his v1 was only the beginning. guess what guys, he kept his promise. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
Something wrong? :)

Indeed, specially from 1.3 on.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sergio76:
Welcome back. Are you sick? Lol
[HD2 Android NAND Development] crx4xharder:
Nope, ill try that now. My sd is only a class 2. Maybe a class 6 would make the difference?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
I think after using spare parts you´ll be pleasantly supprised. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
lol, I was gonna say a similar thing, but preferred to wait for a first move.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] te5ir:
Hi and a big thanks for coredroid team.

After using 1.2 , 1.3 and 1.4 now time to give feedback.1.4 is a great rom i ever use,battery drain much more than winmo 25 hours with 3g and wireless on,calling, recalling,sms,internet etc.installing 1.4 was only 3 minute and untill now without any problem.i do really love this rom.

god bless you all and thanks again,

( sorry my poor english )
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jetsetwilly:
Sounds a bit like witchcraft to me but I've convinced myself that most problems people are having - particularly on the laggy front - is largely down to sd cards. I was having issues initially with new installs - having followed the instructions to the letter; even had the builds installing without any sense widgets but, at the same time, I seemed to be getting inconsistencies accessing my sd cards (a variety used) within Windows. I've used Panasonics SD formatter; Windows own formatter; gparted; easeus...

I don't know, maybe I'm talking sh*t; just my 2cs. Mine's running perfectly at the moment though and has been for a few days.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rtimoff:
Just one question: when? :)))
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
Thanks for the good feedback & Glad to have you around :)

Wait till you see 1.5, it'll be even better.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
Glad to hear it willy. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Bingoig11:
Which cluster size do you recommend to format the SD? Default? Another one?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
You're not talking sh!t, Sir. The main reasons for that lag are either SD cards or the miss-use :)

It's not up to me to give an ETA, but since it has arrived to beta-testing land, and the internal feedback between us doesn't have major problems to report, then it will be released soon. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
Use the standard one. Just use the CWM.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] crx4xharder:
Really odd that fast animations sped the whole rom up... WTF! But out worked none the less.. Even swype is faster lol. speaking of swype, I found an awesome swype theme for this rom!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rtimoff:
It's a good news, thanx ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
cool, glad it worked. Keyboard looks nice. Wait till ya see Sergio´s new one. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] djtheraven:
im kinda new to the nand thing....i have 1.4 installed, when 1.5 comes out how do i install it keeping my settings, apps and data?...or does that stuff get wiped then use titanium backup...i read everything carefully and installed correct but didnt see update instuctions in the doc....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
As I said earlier, if your install now is stable with no problems, then use the update instructions. If you are having problems with your install, then do a complete new, and clean install, but first do a titanium backup for your apps. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
The document is there. It's called Flashing_Update_To_CoreDroid.doc, and yes, updating from an earlier version will keep all your apps & settings untouched.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DaDoctor:
wow thousands of downloads and this is the first report! lol

thast because it updated. Next release will be skinned.

felicitations

First of all, sincere congratulations to our very great sergio,

in my case, I have strictly followed the readme, I succeeded perfectly.

from beginning to boot desk it lasted 17 minutes, I've left the "monster HD2" take its cues s install "quietly " for 15 minutes or 20.

j've installed all my applications "titanium" and now everything runs perfectly no problems, very fast very fluid, and c is happiness.

ps: this is my first installation in CWM.

still very sincere congratulations sergio.:D:D:D:D:D

hi guys has anyone sorted the reboot problem it seems when i reboot device (normal) it doesnt boot and whole system need reinstalling :confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Digital Outcast:
When you say it doesn't boot, what does it do? Does it boot back into MAGLDR and sit at the MAGLDR screen? What do you see on your screen? If it gets past the MAGLDR screen and starts booting into Android and doesn't finish, have you tried running logcat to see what's happening?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] brockyneo:
hi bro it stays at the green htc screen

[HD2 Android NAND Development] brockyneo:
hi ill try can i use winrar:confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Digital Outcast:
Did you create the SD-EXT partition during the install? Also, do you know how to run logcat via adb to see what is happening when it boots?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nobnut:
Use 7zip (free just Google).

Copy on to your card via a card reader (Clockwork sometimes corrupts data when you tansfer via usb).

Then have another attempt.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] brockyneo:
thanks bro ill try now hows the build running for you im coming from rafia rom:D everything working
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nobnut:
Mine is fine. Everything works and the lag improves greatly after leaving the phone and rebooting a few times.

I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Please Help or have I fallen through the cracks again:confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] captainhakan:
Sergio i been using your build for almost 30 hours now. I have waited the build to settle down before making a comment in here.

First of all setup guide which comes in your zip is straightforward and easy. You may want to add it also in first post of this thread.

First boot was success unlike most other DesireHD builds i tried. I am used to see system hangs and i had to take off battery and reboot to continue first time i flash a new DHD rom but that was not an issue with your build.

After boot it took very long time for the build to install all my google apps. It takes much longer then CXYGO's Stock DesireHD build. But takes less then the RAFDROID HD2.3. I think builds which are totally in NAND instead of SDCARD are much faster especially while in sync and installing apps. But as a build which uses sdcard for some system files your build might still be considered as a fast rom compared to raphael's rom.

It took like a few hours for the build to settle down. And afterwards i can't recognise much difference like day and night in terms of smooth operation and speed compared to CMXYGO's desire HD build which is superfast and totally in NAND. Your build is still slower though.

Theming is a great piece of art. I fell in love with it. Actually it was the main reason i insist waiting for the build to settle down hoping it might get faster with time.

CONCLUSION:

It is slower then CMXYGO's DesireHD builds which are optimised for tmous1024 hardware. But it still feels comfortable enough in terms of smooth operation. I believe speed might be improved in future versions.

It is great to have a Nand desire HD theme totally made by Sergio! It's a great piece of hard in every single little details.

It is great to get the updates in CWR format. Very parctical indeed.

Since you mention you are goning to keep on supporting this version i'm gonna stick to it.

There is much more free space for apps compared to builds totally using Nand for system files. Installing apps and syncing is a lot more slower though.

Sergio please make another version of this build optimised for especially TMOUS1024 users! That would be a winner.... Thanks for this awesome build
[HD2 Android NAND Development] PlayStation:
Its a known problem with most of DHD ports. I specifically reported this to Sergio he said he will look into it and get back to the forum. I also talked to another developer who is working on a ebook importer app and hope that we shall get a solution soon. htc ereader is one of the major attractions that keep me on the lookout for good DHD roms..... :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nobnut:
I guess you can using 'Desktop Visualizer' from the Market. There may well be other ways but I haven't tried.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] THUDUK:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] andreipga85:
Hello,

regarding this, i just saw one thing. i have about 500 MB ferr ohone storage!

How much of this rom is on NAND? (i am thinking that should be a cause for the lagging problem. that it's not fully on nand.)

or whats the explanation for a such large amount of memory??

For everyone who's market updates, I hold no responsibility for your apps not updating our the moon eclipsing, but since my n1, ive found that by deleting "marketupdater.apk" in /system/app, stops the market from updating. Therefore retaining the original themed version. And so far, I still get updates for apps.

I don't know what went wrong but when i done the backup before i partitioned ext 3 and set to cluster 4 when i went into advanced restore and choose the backup (27/02/2011 - 18.20 ) and rebooted it was almost like i had flashed a new build as the standard screen appeared and i had to go through the set up process, i noticed that just over half my apps were still there but i had to go into titanium backup (what a godsend that app is) and restore the remaining apps, ive decided to trim down on the number of widgets i had and already the lag doesnt appear to be as bad,ive rebooted once and it's slightly faster the blue coredroid android animation is gone.
