First thanks a lot for answering.

Edit: found why didnt work under CWM 3.0 it was updater-script and update-script. so i needed to choose updater-script.

i am very much new in this and want to learn as much as possible.

i was trying with Cotulla's HD2 Nand Rom without apps2sd/data2sd/apps2sd i like rom purely in nand.

Edit: this ROM has boot.img and system.img files after create the rom it didnt boot lol i know i am missing something hehe

Edit2: i must put boot\zimage for to boot as a new rom. feeling better that i am kinda learning hehe

i didnt change karnel. i have RAF 1.7 karnel files with me. but dont know where to put. let me search.

also i want to theme with esk02k glass theme love very much.

for now i want to try with desire with odex files to minimize space im not sure if its sqausfs or something. i wish i can be a good chef :D for learning the besic.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] af974:
You must put Raf kernel in Working directory/boot before start the cooking process.

Ok lemme see if i can make a 2 min tutorial:D

Im assuming that you are using Ubuntu.

Folder: /home/your_name/Dsixda_Kitchen/original_update<---put here the Rom (.zip or .img)

From terminal run : ./menu

From menu write 1 and hit enter.

Enter again

Check your Rom on screen, if you have more then one select it and hit enter.

Wait

Question about update-script, chose 1 and enter

wait

Would you like to see rom info? Is up to you

Ok when you are again on main menu, just leave it alone and go to Dsixda folder.

There is a new folder "WORKING_XXXXXX_XXXXXX" open it

Inside we have a META-INF folder, system folder and ahhh damn a boot.img, ok return to Kitchen menu.

write 0 for advanced menu and enter

write 20 for un-packing boot.img and enter

Chose c and enter

X and enter for main menu

Ok return to WORKING FOLDER

Now we have another folder, yay the BOOT folder, inside here put RAF kernel (obviously only zimage and initrd :p)

Then copy from RAF Kernel system/lib/module to Dsixda system/module ....the modules (they end in .ko)

This end the kernel part lol

You can change anything in your WORKING app, system, framework.

When you have finish just go to Kitchen menu and write 99 enter 1 enter, this will start the interactive cooking process, just read what the kitchen write and make a choice.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] lude219:
I did read your answer all the way back when I was searching for an android kitchen.;) I guess for me, I like a completely pure nand ROM and IM just curious how some of the chefs here can compile a system.img because ultimately that's what I want to do instead.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] af974:
Mkyaffs is what you need to make a system.img, im not @ home, later i will attach here a link.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rasumia:
thanks a lot! i am on it now. ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rasumia:
hi,

is there any way i squasfsed the ROM so i dont have to use the data2sd or not to depend on SD card? thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] af974:
I'm afraid that the kitchen cannot squash at the moment, you can do it manual or find a rom already squashed.

This link has some informations about system.img, squash and other http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897940

I had modified cooked roms successfully using the kitchen, but when it comes to stock roms I failed.

I do the following:

1) import the rom.zip as described in the FAQ.

2) change the boot.img & replace it with one that was done for HD2 like prj or Rafpigna.

3) root

4) zipalign

5) build the the signed rom

But when I flash it I face problems like:

* the network is not detected (the phone does not work)

* the moving objects are not smooth (their is lines around them) etc

Am I missing a step that I need to do other than what I did??!

Do I need to change the lib files?

Is it only the kernel or I need to change something else? apks? drivers?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dsixda:
The problem is you are replacing the kernel (zImage) which thus requires a new set of drivers under /system folder; eg. /system/lib/modules/*.ko. Please read the kitchen FAQ for more details on porting a kernel.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] zooz11:
I follow the kitchen thread daily but did not find anything related!

In FAQ there is nothing mentioned about porting! Its only mentioned in the changelog.

Anyway, I am not changing only the zImage.. what I do is I extract the boot img using the kitchen (option 20) then I replace the zImage & the ramdisk folder, then I rebuild the boot.img from the extracted folder using option (b) or (n) for nand folder.

Is this correct?

Or I must use the porting option?

Thank you for your help.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dsixda:
Kernel is in the boot.img. There is a question in the FAQ about adding a kernel. You can use the porting option too but I wouldn't rely on it 100% since you don't have full control over what it does. There was a post in the HD 2 stickies on how to port a ROM for hd2. However, I don't have the link with me and I don't have an HD 2...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] zooz11:
Thank you again for you patience :)

You referred me previously to the stickies (in the kitchen thread) & I've read them all but did not find that post you were talking about!

Thats why I am posting here since I thought this thread is for HD2 users who can give me a clue :rolleyes:

I think I am missing only one step but I do not know what it is :confused:

I hope someone can help..

Thanks a lot ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dsixda:
When I say "stickies" I mean the ones in the HD2 forum. There is no such thing as a sticky in a thread.

Like I said, you are missing the correct drivers. A new kernel requires its own set of drivers. Just go to the FAQ man, search for the word 'kernel'.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dsixda:
For HD2 porting guide...

There is only one sticky in this forum.

Go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905841

There is a link there called: "Android Cooking Guide for HD2" <---- Isn't that obvious enough?? ;-)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] af974:
What do you mean with "stock rom" ? There isn't a stock android rom for HD2.

When you change the kernel you need to change also some modules in your rom (system/lib/modules) otherwise your rom will not work fine, these modules are always present in every dev kernel thread.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] zooz11:
I've read that a month ago!

It seems I need to read it again.. may be at that time I did not know what to do exactly.. I think I am more oriented nowadays.. :rolleyes:

Thanks man :D

I appreciate it..
[HD2 Android NAND Development] zooz11:
This is exactly what I am looking for.. ;)

The problem is I am not allowed to open the dev. threads in xda forums :( my account is not authorized! So I can not see the thread!

I mean by stock roms: the shipped roms like RUU_bravo or RUU_ACE or desireHD.. those roms published by HTC (not cooked ones for HD2).
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dsixda:
Since you're new, just use the Porting option in kitchen. I think you're getting confused by a kernel and boot.img and drivers. Use a working HD2 ROM and the shipped ROM of your choice.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] zooz11:
Thank you. I will give it a try! ;)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] zooz11:
I am using the latest version of kitchen. (158)

I used the porting option (19).

I tried it with different working HD2 roms & the shipped roms for Bravo & Ace but what happens is the device will stuck at the 1st screen of installation! (the sd card mounting) & will not continue the installation!

Any advice?

[HD2 Android NAND Development] zooz11:
Thank you for your help.

I am not a programmer, but I have some background & trying to learn.

Here is what I did:

I took an HD2 rom (Qaliza Incredible S) & used the porting tool option to build a new rom using the stock rom (Incredible S) just to see if this would work! Unfortunately, it did not :confused:

It stucks at the mounting SD card screen (the 1st or second screen in the setup process)

Here is the logcat: http://pastebin.com/m1ifSXCR

It seems a lot of thing are not working but I do not know what to do next!

Anyway, I rebooted the device, went to recovery & installed the kernel from there (the same kernel used by Qaliza i.e kernel_rafpigna_1r9_OC.) but still it jams at the same point!!

Here is the logcat after this: http://pastebin.com/Y5eL1s3E

Can you please help me understand what should I do? :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] af974:
I have only a suggestion, take this software http://www.scootersoftware.com/ and use it for compare Qualiza system folder with you own rom system folder and maybe you will find the mistake.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dsixda:
You are having many 'file not found' errors in logcat which means the ROM probably did not completely flash on your device because your system partition is not big enough. Remember the HD2 can only take ROMs that are of a limited size, and newer HTC ROMs can be 500MB large.

If you had read the FAQ about boot loops and using the recovery.log you will have seen the problem immediately. Remove unneeded apps from system folder to reduce the ROM size.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rolks:
i have 1 question, how to make this rom (what i cooked) to first boot start setup, thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ph03n!x:
What ROM is it - Sense or AOSP/ CM/ MIUI? I am not sure about Sense, but for others it is usually the build.prop option

I remove them/ comment them out if I want setup at first boot.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] rolks:

As title says,

Taskkiller tweak option is not working for my ROM.

Any suggestion?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Robbie P:
Is your ROM a stock or custom ROM? It says will only work for a stock ROM. I know very little about the differences TBH. AFAIK later versions of android have task killers in settings anyway.

Good luck

I download and browse xda daily into the am hours of the night and being like a download fiend..i find myself close to my sd card max storage. Is there an app or if not..an app that may delete ur unused files for a user specified timeframe? Similar to the windows desktop that tells u of unused items and remove them from ur desktop?

Bonus question.

My windows xp is corrupt and cannot boot. Missing or corrupt bootmgr...anyone have any resolutions other than puttin in xp cd..i get blue screen. Do I delete all partitions to reinstall xp again?

[Atrix 4G General] bimbocoles:
I love this phone and have posted this on several forums already. I want everyone to enjoy it as much as I do.

I switched from an IPhone 4 to the Atrix and I am really impressed by the device. HOWEVER, I was very close to return the phone due to poor battery life (in comparison the IPhone 4). The max I got out of the device was 14-16 hrs and the strange thing was that it did not make ANY difference whether I hardly used the phone at all or played around most of the time. Over the weekend I checked and after unplugging the phone from the charger and leaving it on the desk the battery was down to 70%.

By the end of the day on my IPhone I used to have about 30% battery left with all radios (3g, bluetooth, wifi, GPS) on and moderate use. With similar use and GPS off the Atrix hardly made it through the day. I read several suggestions and wanted to share how I increased battery life by almost 100%!! Like mentioned earlier I was puzzled that even in idle status there was a 10-15% drain. The only logic explanation was that there are services that continue in the background and drain the battery.

1. I think the absolute biggest battery drain is to enable wifi triangulation for location services. The fact that the pop-up window states "...Collection will occur even when no applications are running." should have made my suspicious. I have noticed that enabling the GPS does not have any significant effect on battery life as long as you do not have any applications open that use that radio (like maps). Obviously I disable the wifi option in location services.

2. Root your phone and download Titanium Backup PRO. Disable all Motoblur services. I do not use any Motoblur widget/services (no facebook, twitter and so on) and am happy with the native gmail client. I literally froze allmost all of the motoblur services as well as other services that may use data services in the background (news, weather services).

Following link gives a good overviw which services can be disabled without any problems:

Death-Force • Thema anzeigen - [TIP][Tutorial] Freeze Motoblur for more Performance and RAM

3. I haven't really found it helpful to use setcpu. Whats the point of having a ferrari and driving it at 30 mph?

Since making those changes I have seen a significant increase in battery life. Using the gmail client, bluetooth+GPS+wifi+3g on, screen set to auto-brightness and mdoerate use throughout the day I make it easily throughout the day with the battery indicator showing in general 30-40%. I think step 1 made the biggest difference. Again, this phone is just amazing and I do not miss my IPhone at all!
[Atrix 4G General] acPIZZA:
No way!?!?

We've landed on the Moon!!!!
[Atrix 4G General] Genius.In.Genius.Out:
Because you don't want your Ferrari to use up gas while you're not driving it?

With SetCPU, you can set a profile for it to throttle down several hundred mhz whenever the display turns off. I find that even background services like Pandora can run perfectly fine even when that dualcore "ferrari" of a machine has the display off at half the ghz.

Using setCPU alone, I feel like me battery life doubled. I recently froze motoblur in its tracks and only provided minimal increase compared to just underclocking it.
[Atrix 4G General] hondaguy:
lol, thats the best thing i have seen all day!!
[Atrix 4G General] acPIZZA:
my trolling = quotes and screen shots of Dumb and Dumber.
[Atrix 4G General] hondaguy:
its amazing how experiences vary from user to user. i had installed setcpu the 2nd day that i had the atrix and didnt really notice a big improvement (with it properly set up to save battery). i froze the blur settings and the weather widgets and can easily get through a heavy days usage. i find the atrix is at least as good, if not better when it comes to battery life.

i leave the wifi and cellular location option on and my battery life is great. i dont have widgets or apps running in the background that need my location and i even say no when google asks for permission to use my location for better search results. disabling this feature would make a big difference for people that use location aware apps often but i find it takes far too long to get a good gps lock when using maps if this feature is off.

as long as you are happy with your battery life, thats all that matters
[Atrix 4G General] darkamikaze:
Never used setCpu on my phone. battery lasts for awhileeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
setcpu is not necessary the cpu automatically throttles down when not in use, the phone doesnt run at 1ghz all time...

ive noticed with the atrix you need to turn off gps when you are not using it or it will still be on even when no apps are using it. my captivate used to turn off gps when i exited an app that was using it. im not sure if this is the case with wifi too.
[Atrix 4G General] shanghei:

I'm sure there is a switch under the battery Criket<>Verizon ... I never got why you would pay 700 for a phone just to save 40 a month and not have 4g and have sub par service... but i'm sure someone will develop a criket rom like the did with the incredible but nothing special
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_black03:
Because after 10 months that 40 turns into 400 and we just paid for the subsidy that ppl are paying for every month for 24 months(40 * 24 = $960) In comparison, after 24 months you get paid $260 for using it on a different network. Sub par service is a matter of opinion...no need to be rude about it, some ppl prefer a frugal alternative.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8gorilla:
I guess the thought is that you could buy a cheaper device, and get just as good performance out of it because on Cricket you will never, ever, see any of the 4G speeds that we see.

This thing gets downloads that are consistently as fast as my Home Comcast (15mbps). I have seen some speeds that are double 30+mbps.

I guess what the other poster is thinking is that you could buy a droid 2 or a droid X and basically get the same results. Outside of the 4G LTE speeds, this device is nothing more than a MT4G or Desire HD (same internals). You wouldn't have to spend the extra money for a 4G phone that you will never utilize.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1454:
I thought that cricket was signing up for Lightsquared's LTE service? Which I would assume would be the same 700 Mhz our devices run on? I could be wrong, but if cricket did this it seems like it wouldn't be a terrible deal and as op said, he would still save money and actually be able to utilize the service. I doubt they would have the coverage we will, but don't denigrate the dude. He did nothing wrong asked a relevant question. Sorry, this was more directed at two_cents.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8gorilla:
I have no idea what frequency Cricket would use, but keep in mind that metroPCS has 4G LTE as well and it is not at all compatible with Verizon 4G LTE. So it may be that the carriers try to distinguish themselves in the near future (especially from value based carriers) based on their phones not being compatible with other networks.

This would have the effect of making you go with one of the Big 3(?) carriers if you wanted a quality smartphone, or pick an inferior or entry level device and go with a prepaid carrier.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1454:
Yeah, I know metro's is different, but I was thinking that, which I could be remembering wrong, that LS's LTE service was going to be the same 700mhz. Like I said, I could be wrong. This is just what I vaguely remember.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickinsav:
Chips in Crickets?

Been an At&t user since forever. Service is good enough in Savannah and the job pays for it so I haven't had an argument to switch. So, SIM cards in phones have always been the norm. Could switch out my Nokia, Palm, iPhone whenever.

So forgive my ignorance when I ask what the significance of sims appearing in Cricket phones to being able to use the Thunderbolt? I currently use a Huawei on Cricket to play with and it doesn't have a sim. I've seen a Droid X also on Cricket and I don't know whether it has a sim or not.

Personally I wouldnt use a DX or TB on Cricket but for $55 a month (unlimited everything) it's an attractive offer.

Btw, the Huawei is Z4 rooted and has 2.2.1, which ruins the Wifi. But Wifi tethering works great. About 1mb u/d, but worthwhile. My iP4 gets 3+mb down and 1+mb up on 3G even with MyWi. When 4G LTE comes here with big red then I'll probably switch. I looking forward to a 4.3 screen and 2.3GB
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
I think you are mixing up Cricket for Metro PCS.

also the 700Mhz band is verizons if I am not mistaken, so the band will be different for Lightsquared's LTE unless them roam on verizons network.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1454:
No, I know metro has their own LTE service, that is not on the same bandwidth ours. Reading further into the lightsquared's frequency range they are on three bands. 1.4 1.6 and 2.0. So, yes I was wrong about it about the TB working on crickets network if they partnered with LS, but I wasn't talking about MPCS. I thought that I had saw where LS was running on the 700 mhz band with VZW. Not sure where I pulled that one out of thin air from, because apparently I was way off. Here's where I got my new info.http://www.dailywireless.org/2010/07/20/lightsquared-announces-lte-network/

MPCS runs on the 1700 mhz band.

ok, I may have to scrap this whole post. We will just chalk it up to the fact I don't know WTF I'm talking about.

Since no one has yet answer the original question... I'm a professional cell phone tech normally all Verizon phones can be flashed to cricket HOWEVER Verizon has decided to use identification cards similar to Sim cards for their service starting with the thunderbolt and all future Verizon 4g phones. I have yet to attempt to flash a thunderbolt I will try Monday however I'm fairly confident without the id card it will not work on cricket. The card is what stores registration info for the network now VERY similar to a Sim. I'm doubting a flash will work but I will repost tomorrow with my results.
