Hi bro, restoring a CWM mod backup in 4EXT may not be possible, i certainly have not tried it, but it might work, the procedure would be:

Switch off phone completely

Keep hold of the power button to boot into MAGLDR

Select AD Recovery

Wait until 4EXT boot up

Select Backup¦Restore

Select Restore

Find your backup in the Clockworkmod folder on your SD card

Job done, Wipe cache and Dalvik when finished and reboot

I have never used Gparted so i couldn't be sure, but i know i never successfully booted 3.5-3.7 with an Ext4 Created by Minitool Partition Wizard.

Personally, i would back up the card onto your PC, format the SD Card, Get 4EXT to Partition it for you and then put my Clockworkmod folder with my backup and anything you need back onto the card and then restore....

Either Way, Good luck bro.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dimdimdim:
I see I do not use cwm version you mention. my recovery is 3.0.0.5.

and, if I am right, you mention your own mod which is 4EXT.

will try to learn about it..

by the way, the question occured when I transfer all the files to new sd with 1gb ext4 partition arranged via gparted.

it seems, the image from my backup did use that ext4 as after restore to a phone with new sd I got my personal data like sms, sense settings, mails and etc., but no user apps. they are not in app drawer, but are in the list of installed apps as moved to sd. so, it looks, my restored image have used ext4 for apps data. but I have no luck to restore that data to new ext4 on new sd
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
I see, may i recommend you have a look at my install guide bro, the link is in my signature picture.

You may find it useful :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dimdimdim:
do you mean this one "My CoreDroid V3.6+ Install guide - (Click my banner)"?

thanks!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
I certainly do bro.... Well, the big picture above it....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dimdimdim:
well, did read it.

as I see, there are just same things I do every flash.

the only difference is that you use 4ext as a part of cwm to create your ext4 partition, which I personally do via gparted.

honestly speaking, I still do not see any clear way to properly recover user data from ext4 with restore tool of cwm:(

or, maybe, you want to say, it matters for proper restore ext4 data from cwm backup to have ext4 partition made by cwm as well? this could have some sense, maybe
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
If you do a backup with CWM, all your EXT4 information will be backed up also, you can do a flash of a perfectly running system with all EXT4 info from an empty card (Except for your backup file)

To back it up independently, not sure, Linux could do it, but not sure your phone or windows can. (Minitool partition wizard can, but you will need a spare SD card to copy the partition to)

removing facebook

ljehll, is there a way to remove facebook from the rom? I don't use it at all, and was wondering if that would increase the memory space in the phone. I would stop it in running serves, but it eventually start back up again. I know it sounds stupid.

Hi guys,

this ROM seems really promising - but i can' get it installed. I've tried everything i did with other ROMs and then even read the install instructions - which i normally never do ;-) But still no way :-( What am i doin wrong? It is either

-stuck in the get connected (wheel spinning and then mosty stops - but sometimes keeps spinning 4 ever - i tried even > 60 minitues)

- or it is stuck in beats audio screen.

I really did clean instal (i have EU model) - for V3.7 version:

task 29

installed new radio rom

magloader 1.13 from tutorial (with Coredroid)

flashed a 10 - 180 - 10 Layout

cleaned and formatted all partitions

partitioned formated even my SD card new with 1024 EXT4

when install runs i say use EU install

when asked i say install magldr at the end

everything ends with success

when i ask the allignment option everything is perfectly alligned

So what else could i do wrong? Generally Android works on my HD2 - i ran CM7 or ICS v1.3 before - but wanted now something "really" stable.

PLEASE Help!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] oregon69:
Truly a great rom!

installation:

1. CLK V1.5

2. install (EU MODEL)

ALL OK! 114mb free memory:eek: (with Android assistant) and all my apps installed.

Rom smooth, fast and stable. Thank you.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
Good to hear that the rom is running for you, now. When the rom are sattled for some days, you can think about marc's kernel. So far you have enough skills to do that. But when you have the rom running, then is marc's kernel is sweathing what you never will missing again ;). It is a really a cool addtion to the fantastic CoreDroid Rom...

Some users of CoreDriod using 10/240/10 settings for the daf.exe now, because bad blocks and then all is running.

Some hints:

- 1st, go into CWM and clean cache and dalvik cache, then reboot and wait 10 minutes

- 2nd, if this is not helping, install the rom again with 10/200/10 or 10/240/10

First do 1st step, then report here please
[HD2 Android NAND Development] lenstan57:
I hit the thanks button, just want to say thanks again. I will take it under advisement.

Overall the rom works great. I've had some freezes where I had to take the battery out. I'm just guessing here, but since you have things running in the background it takes up space in memory, which could cause those problems.

Sorry if some of my questions are lame, I'm trying to learn more about how things work and trying to fix them.

Is there a book on "How to for Android for Dummies"

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

Where do you do this?

2nd, if this is not helping, install the rom again with 10/200/10 or 10/240/10

I found out where
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rodnaaaaay:
my attempt has resulted in the same thing, looping beatsaudio screen.. a good hour or so,

cleared both cahes and tried again, still the same thing..

i just wondered.. whats this 10/240/10 thing about?

any help would be appreciated

thanks

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

figured it out.. flash.cfg file, references to certain partitions

please help
[HD2 Android NAND Development] lenstan57:
You're right. Sorry about that. I really was joking about the book. Who would think there is a book out there. The link to the Google page was even better. I know how use my phone, but the guts on how it works is interesting. I'll look into it.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] oregon69:
I followed your advice (if I understand it .... my bad English) I updated kernel 0.1.7 with marc's ... reboot .... no significant improvements ....

Then upgraded to 0.1.8 .... 144MB memory free now!

I have now, just check if everything else works ..... GPS - Wi fi, etc.

Obvious improvement. Something better!

Thanks very much for your advice!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mike2nl:
Glad to hear that this little beast is now running. And yes, marc's kernel is a little wonder. So please give a thank you in marc's thread, he has it earned for his work. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] oregon69:
Marc's kernel already knew .... until now I used Rom Team Blue Droid, which works fine, just with this kernel ......

I knew I could not run with many Coredroid rom.

But I thank Marc's again .....

Thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ramba69:
Thanks man ... but nothing!

1. I tried cleaning caches - restarted wait for 10 mins - still hung - nope

2. I tried using CLK - with larger partitions 200 and 220 - nope -then it got stuck in the White HTC screen when rebooting

3. I tried clean again - now woth MAGLDR again - and 220 - NOPE

what the hell am i doing wrong?

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

i read even this tutorial (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aKY1zDBmwMot6Jo90ledRvUpVktm899qrZ9_zYfzhKo/edit?hl=en_US&pli=1) and did everything accoringly - nothing - still stuck in the screens!

Why? Is this build CoreDroid_HD2_V3.7_Sense3.5_RV really working? I mean did anybody install this from scratch? There is one note in the tutorial stating use TMOUS and it will not boot - can it bee that the options are swiched so that i get TMOUS when i select EU or so? Also in the tutorial no RADIO ROM install step is mentioned - why? Thanks for your help again !
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rafiqzadah:
Hey Guys, is there anyway that you guys could include the Aroma Installer for future builds? I think it would be awesome for us to choose which features and apps we want rather then bloatware apps.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ramba69:
Hey man ... i tried the same 1.5 RC1 - right?

Which layout did you use?

Which size is your SD card?

So in the last install step you choose again "instal CLK" - right?

What is this step good for, when you've installed CLK beforehand anyhow? Just for curiosity....
[HD2 Android NAND Development] shaedz:
Hi guys,just a question for an old rom.Is it possible to load CD v1.7 completely on a t-mobile hd2 without an ext4 partition?Then I use an application like a2sd to be moving my installed applications to my sd card.If yes can somebody,tell me how to do the complete nand instal.Thaaaaank you
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
yes, you can install as a TMOUS, if the ext partition is not there, it'll install as tmous
[HD2 Android NAND Development] freska8:
This maybe a dumb question but did you task 29 and completely format your sd card before installation?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Lizard_KinG:
SMS sending problems

Hi

I installed the ROM as told in the Coredroid guide.

Everything seems to work fine but when I send SMS, sometimes it freezes (e.g. I can send 2 SMS, then I try the 3rd, it freezes)

Also sometimes when I open the Messages it freezes too.

I reset the phone several times but it didn't help. I turn on and off airplane mode, but it also didn't solve it.

How can I solve it? I searched the thread but I couldn't see any similar issue.

Thanks for your help.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dimdimdim:
I did flash this build multiple times with different sd cards. every time no issues at all.

via magldr 1.13, recovery 3.0.0.5, 10/180/10 in flash.cfg, eu model, cards 2gb low class, 8 gb 6 class
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ramba69:
Thanks - I tried again - now every step according to tutorial. I used task 29 with radio ROM and even did the Hard Reset as told in tutorial (ok - i've admit i didn't do this before). But still - It get's stuck now in the Grey screen with green HTC and the COREDROID Get you connected in the bottom :-(

Can it be that my 16 GB SD Card is the issue? But it gets partitioned correctly with 4EXT. The only thing else that i found different is that partition info tells me after selecting 1024 MB a size of 1025 MiB ? What is MiB?

Thanks for your help - i really want this ROM :-)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ljjehl:
No such thing as mib (Mega in bytes? Yeah right )

Have you fully formatted the entire card in the PC before putting in phone to reformat in 4ext?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dimdimdim:
seems, you do everything just correct.

then it is could be:

bad blocks issue. but if other roms works fine for you, then it is not the issue.

16 gb could be the reason

proper partitioning could be the reason as well.

try:

1. arrange partitions via gparted. it is the most safe way to do this.

2. try to change sd card if no success with partitioning.

just to be sure: did you clear cache and dalvik cache just AFTER flash?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ramba69:
Yes - i even downloaded and used Mini Partitioning Tool as recommended!

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

Although it is not in the tutorial, i tried clearing caches again ... but it did not work.

In the tut it said to format with Mini Patitioning Tool and then let 4EXT create the sdext 1024 MB partition - that's how i did it. When i use the allignment it says everything is perfectly alligned. Only thing is my partition is then at the end(>14 GB) of the 16 GB SD - which might be the issue? But it also said that a FAT32 as 2nd Partition will not be recognizable any more by Windows - so taht's why i didn't try to change EXT4 to first partition manually.

I've downloaded and will try now gparted.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Hi guys, I'm sorry you have had no reply to your questions from me. I finish work in 4 hours and then I will do my best to catch up with everyone. :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] mooncrown_ksk:
thanks for you
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ramba69:
So i used gparted now - but unforuately it changed nothing but my MiB shows now 1023 instead 1025 for the EXT4 partition on SD.

I also cleared CACHE and DC right AFTER flash - although the install procedure reports that it cleans everything in the beginning - no change - still hung.

I've tryed also again the CLK variant but this hangs immeadiately in the white screen with green HTC Logo.

So, if no other ideas around, do i really have to buy a 8GB SD Card? My 16GB worked fine until now ... i will miss my data storage - 8Gigs less is a lot :-(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Lizard_KinG:
No one have an idea how to solve this problem ?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Baadshah555:
Hey thanks for the Superb and Beautiful ROM.. Everything is working fine with me.. Only one Problem.. The BEATS Audio doesn't work for me.. Any Solution.?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Tigermoto:
Hi bro, try deactivating your WiFi, and deleting the connection, restart and set up again, see what happens.

Alternatively, try Marc1706's newest Kernel (V0.1.8) may be a driver issue that i didn't suffer from

And

And last but not least

Actually, there's more LOL

and this really is the last one

A few people have had trouble installing the ROM bro, some HD2's just don't seem to like it, (i'm looking at Bernis71 again, sorry bro)

I can't understand why, clean flash or overwrite, 4 different memory memory cards of various speeds and sizes and mine always, and i do mean ALWAYS, boots perfectly, i just cannot reproduce the errors. EU512 of course on MAGLDR so i cannot compare the others.

I'm sorry it's not what you want to hear bro, but it just might not work for you.

Oh, and radio, i always have 2.15.14.40. If you don't that's your choice, but it should still work with 2.12... And as this is common knowledge, why would i advise you change your radio?

With regards MiB, it stands for Mebibyte which is marginally larger than a Megabyte.

A Mebibyte is 1048.5Kb instead of 1024Kb and that could also be the reason it doesn't do 1GB properly.

I doubt the card is at fault, but if you think it could be, try to borrow one before you buy, just to save money. Also just try using 4EXT to partition one last time before you give up on it. Hopefully the above post will be of some assistance.

I will note this down and forward to Sergio, but it's ultimately his call :)

Hi bro, i cannot replicate this, i have just sent 10 texts to 6 different people in less than a minute and it's working fine.

Try downloading and using This. If this application works fine try a reflash (Over the top, not clean) and see if the error is fixed.

Me too, and i tell you bro, as Beta Support, it's bloody annoying when i cannot get things to go wrong, especially when a good 90% of these guys are doing nothing wrong....

Nice advice bro, but i would use 4EXT (Or your chosen Recovery) to partition as that is what you will use to install the ROM.

Thanks for assisting though ;)

Hi Guys , this might not be a post not related to this thread but is it true that

"MAGLDR causes Touch Screen issues", cause i have installed Core droid HD on my TMO htc hd 2 & it works great & dont want to go back to WIN mo....any one of u guys had any problems with ur touch screens with MAGLDR.:confused::confused::confused::confused: ,I am just worried after seen all thous posts about the magldr..Should I worry???:eek::eek::eek::eek:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] patmorris:
I have never heard of these problems. Nor have I ever experienced any "touch screen issues." I wouldn't worry.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] nishanthabgw:
My phone does not have issues also it also works perfectly:):):)but this morning i have seen couple of posts on XDA regarding this issue ,just got confused i am not a real expert on ROMS & tech so got bit worried :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] swyecso:
agreed I have never experienced any touch screen issues either. I know I did read a while back before nand builds came into actuality that the nand builds would lose functionality from the sd builds because the drivers would have to be completely re-written. In my opinion exactly the opposite has happened, Ive found the nand builds to be much more responsive and have had much less issues with them than on any sd builds.

With that being said this rom is great best I ever had and I cant wait for the update :D:D:D

Ive flashed WP7 until the update is posted but I dont really like it so I may revert back to coreDroid as i thought the update would be out by now

Keep up the great work Sergio and the team!!

Any help wpuld be apppreciated, when i go change the settings at build.prop for mms, those setting are already the same, its still blurry thoigh? Any thoughts?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] patmorris:
Hmm I am curious why this continues to be a problem for some people. Can't see how I'm doing anything different than anyone else. I'm using TMOUS and I get nice clear full size pictures. I have edited the build.prop file and have max mms size set to 1024. My APN is also properly configured for TMOUS to include:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] charolastra915:
can i ask how you went about changing the build.prop, what program did you use. thank for help
[HD2 Android NAND Development] patmorris:
I have done it two ways. There is an flashable .zip posted a few pages back that can be flashed via clockwork to change the file. Or it can be edited manually. Both ways have worked for me. When I edited it manually I used RootExplorer and navigated to build.prop (located in /system/), opened the file in text editor and edited it to reflect these changes:

net.ppp0.dns1=10.177.0.34

net.ppp0.dns2=216.155.175.105

net.dns1=10.177.0.34

net.dns2=216.155.175.105

net.dns3=216.155.165.50

Then I rebooted the phone. build.prop is lengthy though and it took me a while to find the right lines to edit. Search around on this thread some, there have been a number of posts relating to the blurry mms. Maybe one of the previous posts may have some better information for you.

[HD2 Android NAND Development] milton007:
Pat--Do those settings change per region?. I see your from Va...im right up the road in Md(baltimore) and assume they would work? Ive always wondered what my EXACT settings were-NOT the default-'ALL8888's--Or is that a seperate DNS setting in the build.prop?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] patmorris:
These settings don't seem to vary by region. I dunno I'm in Arlington right outside D.C. and it works fine for me. I don't know what they're really supposed to be. I got those settings from captainhakan's fix. I'm not sure what the deal is with this blurry mms thing cause we're all on the same network, with the same phone, with the same software, and this fix reportedly works for some people and not for others. (My guess is user error but who knows)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] charolastra915:
i agree, when i had captaing build, the fix, worked flawlessly, and im in california.

now that im using sergios 1.1 fix didnt work for a while with the edited buil.prop, but after two restarts, started working fine.
