[TMOUS][PROJ]TG01 rom for HD2 Port

Well since summer is here, and after trying a lot of custom roms for my hd2, i need some advice on porting the TG01/T01A rom to the HD2.
3 reasons why I want to port the tsunagi rom to the hd2.
1 is because of the Japanese support on the T01A rom, not just so i can view the fonts but also enter hiragana/katakana/kanji.
2. after owning the tg01 (rip tsun-tsun) i miss the toshiba keyboard. it might be possible to extract the stripe interface and the toshiba keyboard and install it no?
3. Plus I have nothing better to do so i figured why not.
I started the actual process today so I haven't gone that far yet. Right now i dumped both the T01A and the TG01 roms (downloaded from Toshiba, dumped with this kitchen) I figured i port the english rom first then after i successfully port it, i'll move on to the japanese rom. So far that's all I got, im gonna start dumping either the 2.10 or the 2.13 HD2 rom from t-mobile sometime today.
So to all the veterans out there, any tips?

so i started working on this today, what i did was dump the tg01 rom then move files from the tsunagi dump to an hd2 kitchen. then i cooked a rom. didnt really think it was gonna work and i was right. i assume its the toshiba setup running at startup causing it to freeze. probably need to disable that application and cook it again. heres a pic for those interested.
like i said any tips would be appreciated.

actually I would love the tg01 interface on my hd2 keep me posted I am very interested in the development of this
are you just cooking the modules in the phone and seeing where it goes or...
are the modules okay for visual kitchen??? I'm curious and have you spoken to one of the mods to see if they can help

nope i havent spoken to any mods/cookers about this project. i figured this would be a great summer project til the fall semester comes around.
so if mods/senior cookers see this, give me tips! please? lol

well what ive done so far is dump the stock tg01 rom from toshibas site and try to add in toshibas stuff (the keyboard and the menu). thats pretty much as far as i gotten. i believe its all in the oem folder on the toshiba, plus im trying to convert that oem into ext but so far the tools i tried to use isnt working for me. this weekend im gonna look into the problem a little closer since i have the time.

that interface looks really good doesnt it? actually the whole point of this project was so i could use the docomo japanese ime from the toshiba to the hd2, plus i know a bunch of people with hd2's around here, and i wanted mine to "pop". haha

Seems good.
It's better if you can post the dump files if you wish, so that others can look in to it.

yeah ill post the tg01 dump later, i just got home from a bonfire. summers doin good for me so far. haha. hopefully this thing shouldnt be too difficult. btw if u do obtain a tg01/t01a rom dump, the files in question are in the oem folder, they one of the folders start with an S and the second starts with a T. i dont exactly have computer access atm so i cant tell the exact folder name.
edit: so the folders are called tsbapl and sysapl. this is located in the oem folder from the tg01/t01a rom. if we can somehow incorporate that into the hd2, i think that'll be it. i tried a couple oem -> ext converters from the t01a forum but it didnt work, me thinks its cause my computers acting like a monkey and i have to reinstall windows.

Great initiative Caffeine, I too, would love trying out Toshiba's UI on the HD2

i pm'ed Nokser, an active tg01 rom cooker for help. he seems pretty busy but he gave me some info. the toshiba keyboard and the toshiba interface is located in the tsbapl folder from the dump. i went ahead and uploaded the tsbapl folder for those of you who want to take a look out of it. i'll try to get the keyboard working first, then hopefully the stripes interface.
hers the tsbapl dump. http://bit.ly/azhlYP
btw does anyone know how to convert this to a cab? "oem -> cab". the tools i found dont seem to work for me.

I create for you .cab file
Only, you had to test if it works

that sounds fine, thanks for helping me out bro.

I have done some cooking as well, mostly personal but I am willing to help out. Just got back from android land and its been awhile but I will get it together again quickly. Let me know how I can help out man.

well right now what ive been doing is simply adding the folder to the oem folder in the hd2 kitchen im using. that didnt work because as far as i can tell a toshiba specific app runs at startup so if we can somehow disable that app it'll be working.

so i havent really worked on this much (lately since ive been busy) tbh, but anyone have any ideas on what i should do?

If you dont know how to do this with coding and real development please ask a developer to help you, or a moderator to remove this thread due to halted development. Thank you

im not gonna lie the only work ive done to this was take out programs from the extracted oem folder. thats pretty much what im doing, trial and error, i just need to figure out whats running at startup thats causing the phone to freeze up. so far i tried reading the dsm file with an editor but it wont show me what file its making run at startup.
im in the process of building another rom.. hopefully i get it down.

Compiling a new Software is very hard work. I'll be more than add + remove. Good luck.

overwhelmed

ok so I have been using the stock rom and all the stuff on my phone but it keeps getting bugged out of the screen gets unlocked randomly and does stuff when its in my pocket which is very annoying and a friend told me android just kills winmo..
but im looking at this forum and its just overwhelming..i see errors i see solutions i see roms i see this that ...I have NO IDE where to start!
so I got a little list with questions
:
1.if I instal any android version, do I lose all my programs,contacts basically information i have ?
2.how much better is it for an average user to go to andoid? average i mean i dont tweak it that much just used cookie home tab and bsb to upgrade performance but that is it..
3.how do i go on about installing apps on my android? i mean does it use bsb and cht? or like games from windows marketplace? how do i instal stuff like poker games and all the nonsense?
4.where do i get the most easy tutorial on how to put andoid on my phone? I dont want to read a whole page long of explanations on how to's i just wanna instal all the necessary apps or whatever and be done with it(i know im lazy)
so yeah any1???
if any1 would have the time to help me on msn id appreciate it ALOOTTT
[email protected]

Don't do this if you're too lazy to do some reading. You can potentially brick your phone if you are not 100% sure of what you are doing, and I know it's overwhelming the first time, but it's worth reading all these technicalities.
Just follow the stickies, or stick with winmo.

thanks for the tip..but updating my rom was way more easy then they showed..thats what i meant sorrry...
like when i first got the phone i went here and was like WOAH so many stickies etc...then i just downloaded the stuff i needed (hspl) and did what i thought made sense and it all worked perfectly...so the reading isn't all that needed imo..thats why i want a link to some basic introductions on what to do

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732380
shows an easy step by step how too
its all installed on an SD card so it doesnt touch your current set-up (windows mobile)
install 1 see how you like it if you dont just reboot your phone back to windows easy
and i mean easy just follow the steps like im sure u did with hspl and trying different roms.
JR

huh so andoid is installed OVER winmo? not instead of? this got me confused!

yeah so if u dont have an sd card u cant run android! best of starting with a nicely formatted sd card with only the android files on it, just remember to choose the right radio

hmmmm but why doesnt it run instead of winmo if i may ask? wont that make it way faster? :O but damn that sucks haha my sd card is full of stuff i need i guess ill put it all on my pc for the time being then! so how do i go about choosing a right radio? i never understood that haha i think ima just use the latest one i read on the tutorial
now that i thnk about it..you have to boot up android EVERYTIME you turn off your phone? that sucks :/

but at least if you run android you might just like it wayyyyy better???? enough to put up with booting after windows is loaded, try n see buddy,,, try n see

Check this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732380

damn i hate that i have to download radios, roms etc as well for this to work :/ arggg...i just want a freaking stock rom etc lmao darnit i guess i have alot of trial and error to go trough
any1 got msn? :/ spamming this forum is kinda useless if any1 can help me within the matter of minutes on msn xD

little offtopic but im flashing a new radio on it along with the guide you guys gave me for andxoid and it gives me [ERROR260] connection
it says it cant connect or something after like5mins of the program running..i have enough bat life(89%) so thats not the problem :/ any1?

Buddy if you need to be spoon-fed you are in the wrong forum. How do you come in here and give orders how you want to be helped. Sorry xda is not for lazy people. You gotta read bro. If you are that lazy plz buy an iphone. I can see above you have been given the must read links but you ignore.
And its not like you are a total noob here looking at your status. So then dont read. Go ahead and brick your device and run to your momma crying how custom roms and android killed your phone.
Mods please close this thread before someone gets hurt!

no it doesnt run from the phone, you have to manually start it eeach time you reboot the phone, if that is too much hassle then to be honest, you are best off either sticking to winmo or selling the phone and getting a proper android phone

well here there whine * i did read the must red thread BUT i came across some problems which is why i asked what or how to fix the code 260 error with RUU, if that is fixed then I'll be able to install a new radio and a new rom AND after that run the android ....i tried running A now but it just freezes and dies because i do not have the latest/best suited rom and radio to do the job...sorry if i do not know how this forum works the first few times i use it im not a nerd I agree, i do not know allot about pc's and phones and how the exactly work but I THOUGHT thanks to a forum dedicated to sharing and helping I could gain skills and knowledge so I do not have to ask new stuff the next time.
so if you wanna help please be my guest if you're going to cry about me then gtfo

[Q] How to port/cook an Android ROM for HD2 (chefs please help)

Hello
I'm looking for some hints about the subject: how anyone can take a shipped, let me say, HTC Desire rom and let it work on HD2.
I'm not talking about doing heavy tweaks, modifications and so on... just to take a stock Android ROM and have it working on HD2.
I asked to some chefs and received some hints but It's not enough.
I don't want to think that this is a "secret" and I think would be great if some chef would share his experience/step-by-step instruction on how to do this.
As I said before, I think we could start just with simple porting of a stock htc desire ROM, just to understand all the steps. I think that further steps on how to customize and tweaks will be explored later and anyone could experiment itself.. but we need a basic starting point.
Some step by step instruction will be great like:
1) Download shipped rom from here .........
2) unrar it in linux folder
3) copy this folder, rename the other one, dowload this file, copy this...
4) execute shell command XXXXX
5) copy on your sd card
6) boot...
of course I know it's not so easy, but is just an exaple on what I ask here. I think there are a lot of other perople looking for this.
Thanks to any chef/dev that would to explain to our noobs how to get the "magic"
p.s.
I ask the moderators to keep, if possible, this thread in the Dev forum... this because we need help from devs here and in the Q&A forum it will be never noticed.

I came across this the other day that maybe of use:

Yes, I was pointed to that thread too. If you look at the end there are some questions I did. The problem is that is based on MIUI... That is already a custom ROM.
I think the better way to understand the process (not just do it) is to have hints on how to port a standard/stock HTC DESIRE rom.

Ideally the same way. In theory it should work...I never tried because sense builds (especially hd ones) are very laggy

Hello, I was just replying on the other thread to thanks you for the answers
I will try to follow your guide to port a stock desire rom (strange that are laggy for you... for me they fly...)
Anyway it's still something not clear about the donor files... If it's ok to take them from an already HD2 working rom or not.. but I will ask on your thread, avoid to make confusion

no one tip from the devs?
I'm start thinking that instructions on rom cooking for hd2 is like a secret

I've asked this many times, but as you said, no one seems to want to share this "secret"...

Anyway I'm trying just know your guide.. I'll let you know.

you can start with one of the hunderd rom that chefs already cooked. This thread is just to ask help with cooking a rom, you have not to wait.. you already can use android daily on your phone.

Did you cook a MIUI rom or a Sense rom or a stock android rom?
For the cedesmith's initrd.gz I was thinking the same thing.. maybe we have to ask directly to him.

wow, both tyween, and rafpigna, started from this, to now:
Rafroid
Typhoon
best roms on xda. Really nice work guys!
But still, no one shares the "secret" I have tried several things myself, but it didnt work. Would really appreciate if someone could share how to port a rom to the hd2.

Yeah would be great if tyween and rafpigna let us know how they managed it, what guides/reference they started of on or if they have any tips for us etc

I totally agree, I would definitly cook my own rom if I knew how to...

[Q] how to change ROM on HTC HD2

so i got an HD2 device i'v just recived.
its currently working with the windows rom i belive,
i really dont like this rom, it does not support my home langugage (hebrew),and it is quit complicated.
as it seems i am new to the HTC devices and i am here to ask for help as an HTC noob,
i want to change my rom to an android rom wich will support all the things i need like music,apps (whatsapp,facebook,games and any kind of application that a smartphone should be able to run), camera, videos and more,
i found lots of roms here and guids, but as an noob those guides are really not understandable and really make my head hurt, lol.
could some one explain to me step by step how to make my lame windows phone to an modern awesome android phone?
thanks very much, yoni.

Please read the guide in my sig that says 'a guide to all of the terms for the HD2', it has everything you need to know about this sort of stuff. After that either use mengfei's guide or the second guide in my sig which explains the flashing process.

Unable to boot Android using haret on HTC Leo

Hi
Using HTC Leo with Windows 6.5 from US T mobile.
Was able to boot to Android twice using Haret.exe. Booting into Android had pattern lock (which was never set previously) or google account (no one used Android on the device). Removed the battery and booted into Windows 6.5, not sure of the Android version copied on the device.
Am now unable to boot into Android again, it stops at jumping to kernel... need to remove battery to boot into Windows.
Am a novice and need your detailed expert assistance.
Appreciate your guidance.
Rgds..
Zac

Hi Zac, welcome to the forum.
Did you buy the device with an android build on the sdcard? Else how do you not know which android rom is on it?
What is the folder name which has haret.exe in it and what other files are in that folder?

My cousin used it in USA and gave it when visiting. He never made any changes on the device - did not even know Android folder existed. I was browsing through the CD card contents and found it.
It is on my Storage card under Android folder- has CLRCAD and HARET exe files.
Thanks

i would forget about using that android folder and either choose another one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/hd2-android/sd-dev
or choose to install a rom using NativeSD method, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986437
or perhaps get rid of wm6.5 altogether and install android or wp7
best of luck

a working link to which particular rom?
we have an unwritten rule that says do not ask "what is the best rom" since that is a personal choice. So i won't just give you a link to my fav(s)
some links are old and not working, if i have the rom on my hdd i can usually upload a mirror for it, or someone else might if requested to in the thread, unless the OP (original poster/post) of the rom thread specifically states "no mirrors". It is usually worth searching the thread for "mirror" and reading the last few pages, as someone may well have already posted a mirror.
