thanks, i know it means more nand space is partitioned. but what is the effect of doing it(more ram, less storage space, more stored on the SD ext, etc...)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bamit99:
Yep..More System Space which means you can push out..Say more themes into it as System Updates rather than User Updates. But it will also mean less space on NAND for Application installation. RAM AFAIK is not affected by it.

My recommendation..Stick with 10/180/10 Flash.cfg file along with 1 GB SD-EXT. My phone is already using around 440MB of SD-EXT which means a lot of info. is pushed onto it at the time of installation. 512MB might be enough too but then the more the merrier right? :)

Update : I am currently using No-Frills CPU Control with a set speed of 1300MHZ MAX and the phone is very responsive and at the same time stable too.The battery drain is not much affected. I am using SmartAss V2 governor.

Problem with Widgets

Hi,

I have installed this ROM last night and now i have a real problem with Widgets.

A lot of widgets are not working. when i try to add them to home it fails ...

Someone can help pls ?? :confused:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rafiqzadah:
Give us your setup.. and more importantly your rom your using. We need more info and at which point your stuck so that we can start from there to help.. please.. thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] naruto_kun:
HI,

I am using ROM : [HD2 CoreDroid V3.7 GB2.3.5].

As i said, when i want to add a widget to home i follow the normal procedures but when i finish and i expect to see the widget on the screen, it gives me the personalization menu again and the widget is not applied.

one of the widgets is the photo frame ("Cadre Photo" in french since i have french version).

moving along from here do to ... lack of communication (!) ... i` noticed :

froyo --- decent , good battery drain , fast enough for Tmous , Antutu 2067 with 8 gb class 4

sense 3.5 --- best sense for now , good battery drain , fast GPS , the rom must have a chance to get settled for at least one day .

Thank you !
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DaDoctor:
Have you tried a reboot? I have seen this bug in other 3.5 ROMs
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Sorry bro, between the missus and my job, I have had no time today.

This does happen, as Doc said, reboot.

Then try again. If that doesn't work, go into task manager. Then press refresh, then try again.

If this fails, PM me
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
You do talk in riddles my man.

Agreed on most accounts there mate....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] a.benjamin76:
So i went ahead and created a 512 swap along with the normal 1gb sd ext to see if it changed the ram shown in the task manager. I flashed a new rom and did the whole nine yards. It did not show any change in ram but what i will say is that my phone is WAYYYYY FASTER and i'm getting no freezes. I was getting freezes at a minimum of twice a day. So i think im gonna go ahead and keep my swap partition lol
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Do what works for you my man.....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Nelson Bruno:
First I am grateful for the excellent ROM.

I have some doubts that I would like someone to respond:

- Is possible in this ROM has large images, for example 960x800? Not 480x800?

- How is it possible to let a program always open? For example Viber. Is it closes itself off when we return to the "Main Menu".

I'm using "CoreDroid HD2 v3.7 Sense3.5".

Thanks.

=)

NB
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
I'm sorry to say that 960x800 wallpapers were cancelled after FroYo. Neither Gingerbread or ICS support scrolling wallpapers this way.

With regards keeping an app open, if you are willing to play around a bit to make this happen, PM me and we'll see what can be done....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Nelson Bruno:
Thanks for the responses.

the new ljjehl

hey all,

After weeks of screwing with my beloved HD2 (and some motivation from Tiger), I can safely say that:

I AM BACK!!!

Finally got the phone is working condition to be able to get back to devving and modding the HD2. I thank Tiger for bearing with me and hopefully I can continue to help keep the CD HD2 fort afloat for the next several months or so.

In that regard, you can now look for me to help out when help is needed. :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] perfectknight75:
Ha ha ha :D :D true to the banner - I'm an addict!!! I've offered the new owner a new build as i want to keep on playing with it!

So -Froyo 1.8 or GB 2.3.5???
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
Gb 2.3.5, of course, lol......you forgot I am bleeding edge, lol

Froyo is for conservatives, lol, but it just works.... :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] freska8:
I just decided to switch back to 3.7 and clk. Don't get me wrong I really liked 1.8 but I miss clk and the eye candy of 3.7. I decided I would try clk v1.5.0.3 with 4EXT recovery. It took a couple tries but I have successfully installed and got it up and running using the TMOUS install of Coredroid. I found that if you are having problems installing TMOUS you may need to use at least a 10/235/30 partition. I haven't had any data issues yet. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
nice! I had data issues in my last test, so this is good news for cLK users

and you can't beat the bleeding edge stuff from newer technology!!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] perfectknight75:
Yes i went with what i knew best 2.3.5 it was :) Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alangordon73:
Stick with Froyo 1.8 If you need to avoid your chosen GPS program form rebooting the HD2 at the worst of moments.

Personally I preferr GB far mroe than 1.8 but cannot use it as GPS is pretty much useless due to the reboot and hanging problem.... No such issues on 1.8.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
hmm, never remembered having that issue....but then again, I lost my HD2 functionality soon after due to the touchscreen/hardkey issues...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
Mmmm, I haven´t had this issue either... Have others? :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] aortega:
Lol, just coming back from some busy days my friend, thought I was talking about ljjehl and you my friend, definitely you deserve all my respect and love from the team, great mate, partner, friend and member of the CD round table.

I am having a problem with beats audio. Anytime its enabled music won't play
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Avengero:
Hello,

at first, your ROM (Froyo 1.8) looks perfect, great job ;-)

But i have one big issue - lags, lags and lags :-)

My flashing procedure:

HSPL

Task 29

Radio 2.15.50.14

MGLDR 1.3

Repart 10/390/5

Ext4 1024MB via MiniTool

SD Card is Verbatim 16GB/Class 10

Delays takes approximately 2-5 secs when i run any program or process (phone call, people list, web browser).

I tried everything what i know: different Repart, Ext3...

Can you help me, pls?

Thank and regards...

HD2 (EUR)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Did you try installing Tytungs RPC AGPS bro? It's worked for a few....

I personally keep my GPS on permanently and let Android do all the work. So this issue doesn't happen to me..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] explicitsoundz1984:
Hi there, i am having the same issue as Avengero

" only in GB ROM 3.7v, I have the following setup

Magdlr 1.13

32gb sandisk SD card, class unknown (Its the 1st sandisk 32gb card that came out)

10/180/10

EU HD2

Also i am having trouble entering this chmod script

"chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*" in terminal emulator to fix my missing contact pictures for my sms inbox, anyone know where im going wrong or how to fix it ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] thegoochking:

When i talk to people they say i sound horrible like im on a crappy walkie talkie. How can i fix the call quality? I am using the proper radio
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Avengero:
On this build i have a lags too, i dont know what to do, another ROMs without SENSE runs on my HD2 smoothly, but i cant live without SENSE :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] alangordon73:
I sure have Tiger in addition to keeping GPS on..... GB just randomly freezes or chucks me back to the beats audio screen when runing IGo, Sygic or NDrive.

Do you think it's worth trying another barebones rebuild?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Rumours aplenty saying Facebook is the issue for the contact pictures.

It's happening all over the forum.....

Leave it for a few days for a new update or go into the application setting for facebook and click uninstall updates.

May be worth a try.

How about some information so we can advise.

Try this:

Hi, i have a TMOUS/EU512 HD2 and i have installed FroYo v1.8/GB v3.7.

I have/have not changed the kernel to _____ from the one installed by the ROM.

When i make a call, the other party say they hear nothing/robot voices/static, but they sound fine/the same at my end.

I installed/did not install using one of the CoreDroid guides and used/did not use the official recovery for this ROM.

Help us to help you, posts like the above litter every thread, and they are just not useful and vague.

Is this for you?

Sense is a huge memory drain on the HD2 and i feel your pain.

Try this, go into Spareparts + and choose fast for window animations AND Transition animations.

Make sure fancy input animations are also off, then reboot bro,

Let me know how this feels...

I'm not sure bro, i use Sygic (haven't used Ndrive since they expected me to buy 11 after paying for 10, the ******* [select your own expletive for this, you're English like me, you know many LOL])

Try wiping cache and Dalvik while GPS is turned on, maybe there are errors in there.

Let me know what you have tried mate.

Many regards, and @all, thank you for your continued relationship with CoreDroid and the CDT.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] thegoochking:
I am using TMOUS and flashed HD2 CoreDroid GB 2.3.5 V3.7 & Froyo 1.8

I havent tried any other kernels besides what the rom flashes. I am also having the same issue with this rom with the phone freezing whenever i have data enabled. As for the walkie talkie sound i hear them clear but on their end i sound terrible like distorted and just like im on a walkie talkie.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
So you are having the same error on both ROMs?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] johnerz:
Hi Tiger

long time no see

I spend most of my time on the sensation thread now

however I have an HD2 to flash to the latest and greatest :)

your instructions look great, but when I click on the EXT4 link it takes me to a faq and I have them on screen :(

do you have a working link please ?

Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Hey Johnerz

I am also on the Sensation thread bro, good to see you in my neck of the woods though.

Give me two minutes and i will investigate the link...

EDIT:- Ah yes, link is correct bro, 4EXT is in the RAR file with the instructions.... No worries bro
[HD2 Android NAND Development] thegoochking:
yes getting the freezing with data on all roms and the walkie talkie voice on most sense roms. I just started getting freezing and force closing when answering a phone call as well.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] johnerz:
OK thanks :)

my bad
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Both of these issues are kernel issues, i will try to assist.

On v3.7 GB, walkie talkie voice will not happen, Marc's kernel is almost perfect except unfortunately for data hangs, this has been fixed a little in later versions so try downloading and flashing it from here. ***This kernel is for GB builds only, do not flash on v1.8***

Walkie talkie voice was quite common in FroYo builds due to outdated .32 Desire kernel incompatibilities.

Try looking in settings/sound and disabling audible touch tones. then clear the cache and dalvik in CWM and restart.

Let me know how you get on
[HD2 Android NAND Development] freska8:
For anyone interested in using clk, version 1.5.0.3 is bad a$$. clk now has a user interface in which you can re-size and rearrange partitions. You can also format NAND (excludes recovery partition) and other cool features. It also has a flashlight toggle. :D I have yet to have an data issues but I only turn my data on when I am using it to conserve battery life. click here for more info
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Avengero:
Hi, it seems to be better, we will see ;) Thanks for advice :o

Now i see another problem with data connection, it connect approx 5 mins after boot. It should be ok but it disconnect when i make phone call, connect again after another 5-10 mins (3G and EDGE).

Same problem when i swith between both networks :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
That is weird. When I get home I will reflash and go through it with you.

Which ROM have you stuck with?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Avengero:
Connection problem occurs on both ROMs, Froyo and GB but i think that is issue with something else.

Because it happend on every ROM with Sense :(

On ROMs without sense like HyperDroid or Typhoon it works normally, stock WM 6.5 too.

I tried delete APNs and create them manually - no different.

Thanks again and sorry for my English ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
I have been on V1.8 FroYo since before it was released and have not had a single connection drop mate.

Works fine here.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Avengero:
I believe you :D

So can you write me your flash procedure just for sure? I read FAQs and tutorials so many times but i am at the end with ideas:mad:

Thanks for your patience.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
LOL, no worries, just gotta write it out, will post back as soon as i can. :)

Aortega's Instructions for 1.7 are here, the path is exactly the same.

If you still struggle, i can talk you through it via PM, no problems
[HD2 Android NAND Development] explicitsoundz1984:
Hi Tigermoto, thanks for your advise i have done the sparements tweaks, going to see how that goes. I uninstalled the updates for the facebook app, but it hasnt made a differance to the missing contacts pics in my sms inbox. The phonebook and friendstream shows the contact pic's.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] big-big:
v3.7 vs. v1.8

Hi all,

after having v3.7 on my HD2 for about a week, I decided to go back to the good old Froyo 1.8.

The decision to go back was not an easy one. The v3.7 runs very smooth, the battery consumption was much better than now with the v1.8. I had some oddities with GPS but after not touching it, it went well also.

So, but after the last weekend out in the field doing some extensive geocaching, I certainly hit the limits. Having open a mapping app (Locus) using GPS, switching to a calculator and the Internet browser just closes down the apps immediately (Tiger mentioned the aggressive task manager). But this though had a massive impact on the battery life. So, I had to switch battery quite early that day. Beside this, restarting these apps again and again really was a pain.

Ok, now, back to v1.8, I thought it will be smooth like the 1.7, that I used before. But It took quite some time for the system to become responsive and speedy. Maybe, because I kicked out the overclocking app...

So, my question is: is there a way to have more than one app running with v3.7, probably by kicking out G+, FB, or the like? I don't use this anyway. And, are you working on v3.8 in the future? Or is the only way to *really* gain performance *and* battery life a new device (like the sensation)?

Don't get me wrong, I really liked the v3.7 and I missed it already after the first 2 hours on v1.8. And I appreciate your work very much! But I would like to have both...

just my (long) 2 cent...

Cheers, big.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] EmerJency:
I've experienced my chosen gps nav apps rebooting phone at times using 3.7. Never had the issue with Froyo. Alas, I've upgraded to Evo 3d and have not been using my beloved HD2. Sadly it is collecting dust on my desk with my older HTC gadgets. May have to sell so someone else can enjoy.

I had this issue on my HD2 running CD GB3.7 and the solution I found was to remove the facebook account in accounts and sync, then re-add it and wait for it to sync up again. I would then have my contact pics back in my msg widget and in my contacts list. I sometimes had to do a reboot after removing the account, but most times I could just re-add after letting the phone sit for a minute. I don't know if this matters or not, but I would use the 'sync all' option when prompted.

Hope that helps :)

TMOUS

I have the TMOUS version. Would you recomend during the install screen picking the EU version and creating an SD EXT4 or would you recomend picking the US option and not creating an SD EXT4? Is it even possible to install the US and the SD EXT4 simulataneously?

THanks for the help guys!!:)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] megatron212:
how did you make the coredroid rom work bro i also have us tmous and i flashed it using the instructions from tiger and it didnt work
[HD2 Android NAND Development] lenstan57:
Click on Tiger's banner and read his instructions. You will see that you pick EU version and partition with EXT4 on your SD.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] thegoochking:
I switched to the kernal you suggested. Now it just seems like the phone is getting really hot constantly and freezing once it does with or without data. Happens even faster when plugged in.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
I finish work in 4 hours bro, I will link you to something as soon as I get home.

Unless you can go back a few pages and find the patch in one of my posts.

Search tool is useless on the xda app.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] a.benjamin76:
so after messing around with it a lot last night heres what i came up with. If you want to install the EU version on your TMOUS, you can. just follow the instruction exactly how it says in the word document that you comes in the instructions zip. If you want to install the US version, heres what i did. first task 29 your phone and then install magldr using hd2toolkit. then repartition it to 5cache and atleast 400 for the system. This next part is optional but it helped me out. To create an SD EXT4, put in your formatted SD card, boot magldr, then go to ad recovery, go to advanced and find where it says partition SD card. pick 1024 for ext size, 0 for swap, and if it asks what type of EXT pick EXT4. let it do its thing, then put the actual zip file of the rom on your SD card. boot again into magldr and into ad recovery, and install the rom from zip. let it do its think, if it asks you "EU or TMOUS version" pick TMOUS and then let it do its thing. Side note: the recovery DAF file which is included in the instructions is only for the EU version because its only meant to hold 180mb on the system and the rest on the SD ext. hope this helps. let me know man.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] explicitsoundz1984:
Hi EJ, thanx for your input. I tried this procedure a few times, removing facebook account, wiping cache and dalvik cache, rebooting phone. It did however make 2 contacts in my messages inbox show up with the contact pic, the rest still shows up blue android logo. The friendstream and phonebook all have the contacts pics from facebook, it only seems to be the sms inbox contact pics that seem screwed. DaDoc , told tigermoto that this issue exists in this v3.7 Rom, but a chmod script that you can apply in terminal emulator can fix this problem, but i tried applying that its says invalid, i must be entering it wrong i guess, i am no good with pc commands.

Also would you know why the phone freezes when using some applications such as the inbuilt browser? I know it could be a long shot, but anyone experianced these freezes? Only way to cure it is take the battery out.

I really like this v3.7 rom, very nice eye candy, nice work developers, but am started to get a bit annoyed at the irractic behaviour of this phone. Thinking if i should install v1.8 or not, only thing holding me back is that i have setup v3.7 rom with all apps etc, to the way i wanted it, is there a way to copy the whole image of the phone as it is presently and then restore it later should i wish to change from v1.8.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] johnerz:

Just a quick post

I've flashed the 1.8 as it seems to suit the user

Fast stable and great to look at

Wait a minute.....it must be a CoreDroid rom

thanks :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] thegoochking:
If this was the patch you were talking about i flashed it already. Im not sure if this may be the problem but i tottaly forgot my sd card is a 16gb class 2. Would memory card class cause problems in all nand builds such as lock ups and overhearting?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
No bro, only a bad kernel flash or overclocking would cause dramatic heat up.

Try flashing the patch again or use SetCPU or a similar program to make sure your clock settings are okay.

I have flashed that ROM on my HD2 with:-

2GB Classless SD

4GB Classless SD

8GB Class 2

8GB Class 10

and never suffered heat up.....

unless doing something strenuous like playing an intensive game while WiFi was on of course, but then i OC to 1536MHz, just for fun of course....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] thegoochking:
What would be a good clock speed to prevent overheating.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Try 998MHz (Stock speed) first Bro, work up from there.

Most HD2's seem to be able to run at 1190MHz quite well, but not all can run happily above that.

and easy way to find out is:

Turn off your HD2

Hold Vol- and power key until tricolor bootloader screen appears.

To come out of this, you will have to remove the battery or hit the reset button

You should see something like this:-

Tigermoto’s HD2 - EU

PB81100 SS-BC

SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL	0x50

If your last number is 0x30, chances are that it will only be really happy at 998MHz..... (@Everyone - feel free to tell me otherwise guys, it only helps my research)

If you have a PB81100 HX-BC, you would also need the patch to boot, but you may well be able to get away with using an aftermarket program and happily run at 1190MHz (@Sneakyghost & Bernis73 - If you read this could you confirm/deny this please)

If you have a PB81120 SS-BC you are using a TMOUS and could have an entirely random experience, Ljjehl and Aortega's phones are identical but Ljjehl can run out of the box and Aortega needed the patch.

If you have a PB81120 HX-B3, let me know, i haven't seen one and would love to know if they exist.

Please, don't forget the thanks button :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] explicitsoundz1984:


Hi tigermoto, I have the same screen details as you but I hav a PB81100 HX-BC at 0x05. I did not need to use that patch to boot, therefore I have not applied it, what speed you reckon my fone is running at? Could this be the cause of the freezing when using the built in web browser?
