First of all I've had my HD2 running WinMo 6.5 for over a year now, and try as I might I could never love it.

However I was aware of xda when I bought it and was sure that at some point I'd be able to change the o/s. I checked the forum a few months ago and SD builds were available, but this never really attracted me due to battery consumption/performance issues.

You can imagine my delight when I checked yesterday and discovered that NAND builds were now here and stable.

Although I'm a C# business app developer I know very little about phone o/s's and hardware, and have never hacked a phone in my life. It's a testament to this forum that I could go from zero to a completely new phone in about an hour.

I'm delighted with what I've seen from Android so far. Thanks go to all who've made this possible. Having said that I feel it's only fair that I donate to show my appreciation, which is what I'm having a problem with! Who to donate to?

I'll donate for this build...but who else? I know Cotulla has had a massive input to this project. If any of the regs could give me a guide as to the main developers and their relative importance then I'll try and donate as fairly as possible.

Once again many thanks to you all.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Droga:
I just flashed this ROM. VERY fast!! Great job by the developers! :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Scabes24:
Great post my friend, yes Sergio would be a good place to start, for refrences to some devs that made this all possible check the list of members that Sergio has thanked in post 1 or 2. You can also donate to XDA as well. :)

GLV6 Kernel from CleanDroid by g.lewarne

Hey guys,

For those having high battery drain issues with the default RAFPIGNA 1.7 kernel.

Here is the GLv6 kernel from CleanDroid by g.leawarne. It's based on tytungs-hastarins kernels and is overclockable to 1190mhz.

I am curious as to how it will affect performance and battery drain.

Please try it and post results, comments....

Install from CWM Recovery.

Thanks,

Michael
[HD2 Android NAND Development] shingers5:
Can we have a separate thread for battery drain as majority don't have this issue nor bothered as blessed with this awesome creation. With wifi off I am getting nearly 48 hrs from full charge. Everything is original as the chef intended. No mad customization no apps that may cause issues. Followed instructions to the letter and no probs. No reboot no freezes no FFs just a fluid quick responsive thing of beauty called coredroid

Help

Guys ,

I am kind of new so i just want to knw , I have v 1.1 on my t mobile(us) htc hd 2 & i want to upgrade it to v1.2 if i do that will i lose all my apps currently installed in my phone or they will remain with the new version ( will i have to go all over again setting up my phone )

:confused::confused::confused::confused:

sorry if i missed anything from the thread that i haven't seen ....related to my question...:):):):)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] coquipr:
Not if u follow the instructions inside the download for updating from v1.1
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nishanthabgw:
Thanx , Downloading now:):):):):)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] coquipr:
Their is a word doc. That said upgrading from 1.1 follow that to the t and u will be ok.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
Enlighten us! :rolleyes:

I would recommend following *THESE* tips first (collected by Scabes24 and myself), just to be sure that you have done everything before starting a new thread. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
Great news! Congrats :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Rudyfastcat:
Did not work for me - caused boot-up to freeze at HTC logo:mad:- re-flashed rom went back to RAFPIGNA 1.7 kernel:D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] cheesekeeper:
For me the best combination has been Kernel 1.7 with either static wallpaper, or a very simple live wallpaper (like the default sense animated bubbles). 1.7 feels way faster than any other kernel I have tried, and actually has very low battery drain, but a complex 3D wallpaper under this kernel (like Galactic Core or Blue Skies) kills the battery totally. This wasn't happening on Core Droid 1.1, but for the moment I'm happy enough to trade my Galactic Core for the extra speed that the 1.7 kernel offers........
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nobnut:
Backup build...

1. In CWM wipe all data (factory/hard reset)

2. Flash Coredroid 1.2 zip

3. Flash Rafpigna's 1.7 kernel

4. In backup and restore, select advanced restore

5. Select backup you made earlier

6. Restore sd-ext only
[HD2 Android NAND Development] PlayStation:
Sergio is it possible to set apps screen to 4X4 instead of five by five. They look a bit crowded in the current form. What do I need to do to change that menu.

By the way is it possible to include gingerbread keyboard.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] marscandybars:
+1 on the 4 programs across. Also, any reason English (US) is not available for the OS language? It was available for the SD version.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Ferri_HD2:
Hi @Sergio76 , thanks a lot, your nand rom:), i had waiting a lon log time :rolleyes:

rom is stable and fast, it's very good.

but i have a question, your next release is with upgrade versiyon or not, because i will install about 80 apss. and i dont want to be install again any apps.

sorry for my english, thanks again;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Dougi:
Thanks to digitalOutcast, i did what you advised it worked just perfect

Also thanks to aadd it worked also ..

And to sergio for making such a great NAND

:)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
As we are working on an ext partition all apps will be safe, and his updates are gonna be via CWM, so no new flashes will be needed.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
@ Sergio

I was already working with an ext4 partition, but your rom did not seem to support it.

To bad i had to clear my card :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Ferri_HD2:
Great news, thanks DutchDanny;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] SHoWa147:
Is necessary format my partition ext before installing?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] serdar-hd2:
Hello , how can i install this rom ?

I have now installed MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.6

how can i delete this rom and install the CoreDroid DHD
[HD2 Android NAND Development] matthew33:
I take it it's lagging like all desire HD on hd2??

matt
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Mark5:
Yeah, me too. I had created a partition in CWR a few ROMs back and I 'reformatted' it to ext4 using GParted a week or so ago when I was using my most recent ROM and everything was fine. The original CWR partition was ext3.

I had to do a fresh partition using CWR and then all was well - which, as I say, I think is ext3 (from my memory). Are we certain this ROM is ext4 compatible? (Forgive me if I am wrong! :o )
[HD2 Android NAND Development] saigon66:
Just backup your SD and format it again and get this ROM, read readme text file and do step by step and you will be fine.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Mark5:
It is not that bad actually - so far! I am really quite impressed. :D

I have had it installed for about 10 hours and synced and all my apps (40+) restored for about 6 hours. 3 resets in that time and a couple of hours to settle after each major jolt to it (first run, then syncs, then apps).

I am seeing it get faster as the hours go by and have now used it for SatNav, email, messaging, games (oh yeah, I made a call too! :) ) Currently it takes 1-2 secs for the lock screen to move, 4-5 secs this afternoon - so good signs...

Will leave it overnight and see how it goes in the morning...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] DutchDanny:
I also work with Gparted, and made a fresh ext4 before I went to install this rom.

But when i went to CWM, I saw it did not see my ext4.. could not format sd-ext.

Stil tryed to install it but the rom did not load..stuck in HTC screen.

So I don't think it is ext4 compatible

Once I made the partition with CWM, all went well.

Runs smooth very nice effects and graphics.

Best rom i'f seen so far.... tested a lot of them, but love the ext partition roms.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] trygve@omega.no:
The long wait is over - Happy moments...

I fell in love with the Core version of Sense just as NAND hit the marked. It had that little extra for those of us that likes a little color and "flavor".

Needless to say, having a bad case of ORD I just had to go for the newest thing and ended up with MDJs gingerbread NAND version. Even though it is perfect in its way, I missed Sense. You can compensate for much by thorough widget hunting, but there are some parts "missing out": The weather forecast somehow seems more accurate (don't know why), the messages, SMS and favorites widgets from Sense are irreplaceable, email, SMS shortcuts WITH unread count etc etc. The biggest downside, at least for Norwegians is that the auto-correct feature while typing is near to non-existing. The few times it tried to fix my text it got it wrong :-(

I have checked for NAND Sense version, but found none that triggered my interest. The Core version seemed more and more like a lost cause, but then suddenly Christmas, birthday parties, whistles and trumpets at the same time - THERE IT IS.

- The walk-you-through-list is perfect. You can't go wrong if you have your head turned on.

- The little extra touch on the graphics that makes it stands our is here

- I can't remember one Force Close incident after hours of usage

- So far NO reason for trading it. Perhaps I can finally rest my ROM hunting ?

And yes - I have tried the WP7 NAND. It worked, but was just as boring as the HTC Trophy I had for almost a week :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] tegbakke:
Way to go....

Hello.

Just installed your build on my phone.

The install instructions was very nice - No way you can miss this....

The first impression of the phone (after 10 min) is smooth and fast.

- Can't wait for the first 24 hours to pass.....

Will you provide updates or new builds to this ?

Keep up the good work.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] carl1961:
this worked for this rom also, copyed file over using droidexplorer and rebooted to load new lib video now shows
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Sergio76:
Thank you for the post.

Yes Updates will come fast and easy to install no need to start over HD2 CoreDroid Desire HD Will have full support from me. Updates will come as on My Desire HD once i release one the other will follow.

And if you check Post 1 on Download Post you will find a little update in zip too update HTC picasa too latest version with my skin.

Thank you and enjoy.

Too ALL you folks.

My advice is if you looking for a rom too keep flashing everyday this is not for you my builds are too be solid and updates will be only too fix issues, optimize the skin or speed. So you will never need too start over once you got V1 cause my scripts will always update the full build with out the need of wipe i do that for you with the update scripts with out the need to lose you precious DATA.

So enjoy and Good night need some rest 24 hours already up too support both releases. Check the time of 1st Post on Thread the time was created and count how many hours a been her lool not counting with the time a lost too finish the build before, did not add a sleep last night i stay up all night just too get this ready for you guys.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gln003:
did it go well? I feeled anxious too but then the installation went on.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] gln003:
install gps status from market, let it run and it will update

gps information. after that your app should work.

for me it's working with google maps and endomondo.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
Yes, I never use any live wallpaper though .. Either simple or complex :)

Hmmm, interesting .. Wonder if it actually does what you said it does ..

Am at work for the next 12 hours. Can anybody try that & revert?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nobnut:
It did for me. Most noticeably the wake-up is immediate, no lag whatsoever. The screen coming on during a call was a nice surprise and the battery drain is now consistently under 10mA while asleep.

So, all things considered, I'd have to say 'yes'.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
Well, without the above method, I get about 3-5 mA on standby, so the battery thing won't make a big difference. What really matters is if it will reduce the wake up lag.

Can someone please try that & confirm?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Scabes24:
Some useful links have been updated in post #5 so for general issues or info please check there first so we can try to reduce the repeated off topic questions. Thanks guys :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] shingers5:
Imma try that to see if helps with wifi on. Can't see how much battery life be extended so may be useless flashing again.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] slicklu:
Would like to say a BIG thanks to everyone that was involved in the delivery of this ROM. Very much appreciated :D Everything works fine and its quite fast. I don't get this wake up lag everyone keeps complaining about but the only issue i got is, last night i went into my text messaging app only to find out all my text messages have been wiped. I was shocked because just a few minutes earlier i sent a few text messages are everything was fine then.

Any ideas as to why this is lads?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cheech1976:
@Fishawy, i am delighted to see you back on the forums and all is well (i sure hope so). Congratulations to all Egypt btw :)

On Topic:

I have flashed this build this weekend (i didn´t want to for a long time, but i just couldn´t resist :D ).

I still have a lot to read about this, i´m sure, but here is what i have experienced.

Right now (about 1,5 days after flashing) i do not see an improvement on speed regarding Sergio´s last SD build (CoreDroid V0.4).

I´m guessing the build still has to settle a while so i can give a judgement on this (i ran one and the same SD build for longer than a month, really really great build btw.)

Also all this stuff about ext3 and ext4 aso. i don´t have any expertise in this area, so i guess i have to read read read until i can do something with that.

One thing however, i´m using the same wallpapers on this build as i did with CoreDroid V0.4, with live wallpapers (the one that changes the wallpaper everythime the phone wakes up).

Now the pictures which looked really great and smooth on CoreDroid V0.4 do not look the same with CoreDroid 1.2.

I don´t really know how to put it, i would call it "screen density" or something like that. The same wallpapers on CoreDroid 1.2 just don´t look so good, like the pictures resolution is far too low to be displayed on the phone, but with CoreDroid 0.4 everything looked fine.

I hope you get where i´m going :)

If anyone should happen to have a "solution" for this i´d be very grateful.

Or maybe someone can tell me which resolution and density (how many pixels per inch) i can convert the images to, so they are displayed well on the phone?

And many many thanks to Sergio76 for yet another great build :) Keep up the good work!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] shingers5:
Tried this just for fun to the letter. Battery drain while in use is much higher and I now have a bigger lag from sleep than did before. I didn't have any wake up lag previously and now I do. Moral here is what's works for one doesn't work for all. May help someone else but didn't help me I'm afraid. If anything had reverse effect.

And to guy who said doesn't notice any speed improvements then something went wrong as speed improvement is apparent after Rom settles. From ma upgrade was instant
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
Thanks mate :)

Regarding speed, you should notice a huge improvement. Have you started from scratch?

Thanks for the feedback. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ladyboo:
how did you get those colours menu in this rom,..?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cheech1976:
Yes i did, did everything step by step from the book and all worked like a charm. Didn´t have any issues at all.

The "huge" speed improvement has yet to show, but i think since this is the first NAND build ever if flashed including of course Magldr, the phone has to cope things out with the software until everything flies as it should.

This was the same with the Sergio´s SD build i used, in the beginning i had a rather laggy system for some time, but at the end even setting up a new build and restoring all the backed up data it build up it´s speed and stability way faster than the first time i ran the SD build.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
Alright then, hope things turn out to better soon :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cheech1976:
Well since it can only get better, i am hopeful it will :)

Only thing now is the screen´s resolution, respectively the resolution of the wallpapers, so they don´t look that bad :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Scabes24:
If you're talking about live wallpapers there might be a setting for that specific wp that lowers the quality, because they shouldn't be any different unless you installed LCD Density changer or something like that..

[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cheech1976:
No, i didn´t install any additional app, neither on CoreDroid V0.4 nor on CoreDroid V1.2.

is anyone else who has this issue?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
Folks - ive mentioned it yesterday but for anyone who missed it you must do this, go into spare parts and set both windows and transitions animations to fast, ive noticed a serious difference in speed it's whizzing along even faster that the Darkstone NAND SUPERAM:eek: and that was very fast but this is faster.

Check it out.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
+1 i agree
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
what will doing the above steps achieve are you saying that it will greatly improve battery and speed or something else?

Cheers
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wanahave:
Is listed in the DaDocter FAQ in post 3 :)

For me, following those steps improved battery drain, resolved the screen turn on during call and most importantly, totally fixed the wake up lag problem.

How can i install the arabic support ??

couldn't find a way to do it.

the Rom is very nice, colorful, but sometimes it gets lags and it turns to be slow, specially after installing firefox.

please reply about the arabic support installation guide.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will look into it. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Bingoig11:
When you talk about backup, you mean using CWM?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
A simple search for the thread would lead you to a 100% working solution for Arabic *HERE*, not to mention that Sergio already has it posted on the first page.

Please read.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] RayHeath:
Ok, I just did some testing. If you wait till the review mode closes (stand-2 sec.), and it switches back to camera, you should not have a problem previewing you pictures that you´ve taken. If you try to preview your pictures when you are in the review mode, you will get a force close. I would recommend that you set the review mode to 1 sec., then after 1 second you should be able to preview you pictures. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nobnut:
That's correct.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cheech1976:
This one for example, you'll see a lot of "stairs" on the yellow car, it is as if the anti aliasing has been turned off.

*edit: umm the picture upload didn´t work as intended, be right back :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Cheech1976:
Ok now, on both screenshots there are wallpapers which showed just fine on CoreDroid V0.4 without any sign of lesser quality of the pictures.

On CoreDroid V1.2 however, the graphics seem to loose some quality, all those "stairs" (i´m sorry, i don´t know if it´s called like that).

Currently trying your procedure :D

I didn't reboot each time I finished a step, I mean, I backup my rom, then, flashed the rom, then without rebooting install the rafpigna 1.7 kernel, and finally without rebooting, restore sd-ext (the restore is in progress). :D
[HD2 Android NAND Development] patmorris:
I can see how this would work because I used to do essentially the same thing with the SD card builds. I never understood why it worked but if I recopied all the system files to my SD card except data.img it would fix battery drain. I mean I'd go from 55 mA in standby to 5. I only ever experienced that bad battery drain with the SD card builds when I changed the kernel or some other system file. I'm very picky with the nand builds now cause of that. Now I copy new kernels or system files and what not to the ROM .zip so when it installs its like a complete and whole new install (with coredroid the data doesn't get wiped so I don't have to worry about my settings and stuff). Nice to know there's a way to do this with nand builds. Thanks for the instructions, though luckily I haven't experienced any wake up lags or bad battery drain with the nand builds yet.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nobnut:
Yes, that's right, reboot at the end.

Yes, for me the issues were lurking within the Dalvik cache, but were repeated when I simly tried to wipe the Dalvik cache. By using this method the cache is created from a fresh install, rather than from my 'corrupted' re-install.

I'm not saying it'll work for everyone, it works for me, the beauty of it is that if anyone tries it and doesn't like it... simply restore the full backup you made originally.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Bingoig11:
Phone is rebooting, finger crossed, hope this will resolve my battery drain issue :P
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jonny68:
OK cheers for that, ill see how others get on first, personally im having no problems but ill see how others fare!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nobnut:
Don't forget that this is in effect a fresh install so you'll need to let it settle and give it a couple of reboots.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] despy1989:
I agree. Its also responsible for a lot of lag in the system that some users are reporting.

I did notice this during messing around during upgrading from 1.1 to v1.2. If this was not done by wiping the cache partition and dalvik cache the sytem became very laggy. Problem was solved by using the correct sequence for ALL installations.

These are the steps that I followed during FIRST installation of v1.2

Thru CWM >> Fresh install of the ROM, Change Kernel to 1.7, CoreDroid 4 ROW zip, Desire HD Stock font zip, Core Droid Flying Zip. All of these I am doing before first boot.

According to your suggestion I am trying out the SD-ext restore as well to see if it makes any difference..Will report back.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Fishawy:
I see what you mean .. Hmmm, weird, didn't notice such thing on mine.

I'm not sure that I have suggestions for that now, but I'll let you know if something came up.
