I have a couple of questions about the 576 ram hack.
1. Does it cause any battery issues on uk devices?
2. Can it be applied to the T-mobile uk stock rom?
Thanks.
1) no battery drain caused by 576mb of ram, MAY cause some noises during calls but there is a patch for that (Search, like in your sig )
2) you need to flash a custom rom based on tmous (still, I find your post kind of funny given your sig )

I can make a cab (registry things) if you want to see
2024Mb to your phone, but this is not true thing
576Mb RAM has only the US HD2 1024 from T-Mobile, is another phone...

Followed the rules have HSPL and installed dutty's rom V1.8, after that the latest radio : 2.08.50.08_2 to free the extra mb"s. Because they not came free after installing dutty's rom.
What did i do wrong, still have only the 448 mb instead of the 578 mb RAM.
Everything is working very fine, good phone for me.
to clarify...
Because you haven't stated where your looking at to get the ram figures here's the deal with the 576MB ram.
In the original configuration you got ~330MB(can't remeber ther exact figure) of usable RAM as shown in the 'SD card & phone storage' section of manila settings and 448MB shown in 'Hardware information' in 'About phone'.
With the 576MB ram tweak you see ~448MB of usable RAM shown in the 'SD card & phone storage' section of manila settings and 576MB shown in 'Hardware information' in 'About phone'.
Just make sure your not looking in the wrong place
Oh and by the way the discrepancy between the two figures ('SD card and phone storage' and 'Hardware information') is due to the graphics taking ~128MB

I'm looking in the hardware information Tab in "info about phone", where i can also see colors ,resolution, CPU, Flash memory and more....
It's really strange, i haven't read anything here about this problem yet.
For now it's not a must to use this extra but sure is for the future.
you should have RAM and ROM there too...I'm using Duttys HG v09 with radio 2.08 and have 576 RAM but I also did with 2.07 radio and HG v08
The ROM info is in the Software info and the RAM info (448mb) at the other tab "Hardware info".
ROM date : 10-02-2010
radio version :2.08.50.08_2
What do you suggest, Install another ROM ? I want to keep this one nothing wrong with it
and it's in my own language and the HD2 is very fast too now.
Or could it be that the dutty rom i have not allows to free the memory ?

It will only show 448 ram because 128 is reserved for graphics. On a hd2 without the extra ram tweak it would show 330meg.
Correct me if im wrong but shouldnt you FIRST flash the radio and THEN the ROM to make it work?

makes no difference. I flashed the rom first and then the radio, and i get 576.
may be some devices have the extra ram and other doesn't

Yep, thats correct, but i've seen several threads where people are quoting the available program memory instead of the system memory, so just wanted to bring that up.
On duttys classic roms, only the WWE ones are 576MB enabled, not the other languages.
Duttys HG roms also are 576MB enabled (but there are only in WWE).
Your rom just is not 576 enabled... Which is the reason why you stil don't have the proper amount of ram!
Flash a compatible rom, and all your ram will be available.
till now i don't understand the role of the rom in showing the extra ram,also it is necessary but i don't understand its role

Why dont u understand? The ROM is beside other functions responsible for a big part of the hardware management (p.ex. how much of the memory is locked, used by xy etc. take for example the pagepool). Sorry but i really dont understand, what u dont understand...

thanks allot ,now i understand
I had a Diamond and got a LEO yesterday.
Some questions:
Wich is the best Rom concerning to speed, new stuff and stability?
Wich is the best advised Radio Rom to install?
With questions like this, your thread will be closed shortly! Everyone have its own likes and dislikes acoding to ROMs! For the radio part the main question for you is do you want the 576MB RAM Hack or not! If you do, you will have to use 2.0X.50.xx_2 ... the newest one 2.10.50.28_2 is pretty good one!

of course i want the hack!
the hack is related to the radio ROM only? is that so? the newest one you suggest does the trick too?
Not exactly! You will need a ROM based on T-Mobile's one! Ver 2.10 or 2.11! Just look at every ROM's thread! They mention if there is a RAM hack or not! To sumarize it you need a 576MB Enabled Radio and the same applies to the ROM
What's the best ROM for HD2. I have 1024 Mb of Flash size and 576 Mb of RAM size.
Thanks

Sounds like you have a TMOUS HD2, any ROM that is TMOUS compatible that you like ...
NO Radio x.xx.51.x, this will brick your phone ..
Can't really tell you what ROM is best, because everyone has different tastes ...
But IF I was going to suggest one .. It would be something from the Energy Series, check my sig ...
i am on tmobile htc hd2. i tried a lot of roms and the best i think is anyrom with gtx theme and with cht 1.8.5
Thanks for the info. Yes I do have a Tmo US. Just bought it today. Used to have a HTC Universal last. Things have changed drastically since. Cant seem to find my way around. Any starting point you recommend to start reading up on the ROM flashing procedure... I'd hate to brick my phone on day 1... hehe
Thanks again

Start here
You will need HSPL3 first just search for it, don't have the thread handy ...
for just about any ROM you will want to follow a simple procedure ,
HSPL3 first, this only has to be done once, unless you flash a stock rom from the SD card , as that will remove it ..
Task 29>Flash Rom>Flash Radio>Hard Reset after first boot>Enjoy
the Radio is optional, but you should find a good one that works for you
2.12.50.20_2 is what I use works great ...
One thing to remember , battery life may suck right after you flash, give it a couple charge cycles to learn ...
I think that's should get you started ....
Please use ROMS in that section if you dont know anything now.
as watcher64 said before: read about radios. You need to be sure that they are tmous compatible.
Hi, on my HTC HD2 i have a stock rom of desire HD. In the info of my device i see about 420mb of ram. I have radio 2.15.50.14. I think there is a way to enable 576mb. Probably the "issue" require a kernel that allow the rom to use all the ram. There's a patch or someone that can build a kernel with this feature??
HD2 has 448MB of RAM!
576 RAM = 448 + 128 RAM for sys/ video card / 3d accelerator

The 576 ram are already enabled but the system only shows 420 ( or 410 ) as its using the rest.

OK, last one time: YES it has 576MB already
(because trick to enable is: HSPL 2.08 + 2.15.50.14 radio)

wait... you mean the 576MB trick doesn't work with R: 2.12.x.x ???

well...maybe yes. the trick works with all radios that contain 50 (the 51 radios do not work) so if your radio is 2.12.50 it is OK
if you want some technical background: 2.xx.50 radios were originally released for TMOUS version of HD2 that shipped 576MB RAM and 1GB ROM
developers found out that the radios work on EU HD2 too and that it enables the adiidional MB of RAM that were initially blocked.
(the 1GB ROM cannot be unlocked because it is different chip)
all of this was a long time ago in a galaxy far away during Windows Mobile hacking....
in Windows Mobile there was about 350MB total (+ something system reserved leading 448MB of physical RAM)
later with TMOUS .50 radios it increased to about 450MB (+ something system reserved) meaning that 576 MB RAM is on all models.
so you can have 576MB RAM available because it is reserved for radio (phone function) and GPU
I hope that this old knowledge explains everything to all.
live long and prosper...

This is NOT a [Dev] thread and has no business been in this section.
@ OP
DO NOT post topics here unless you are a dev and are posting a dev project/ref. There is a general and Q&A forum for you.
Ok for me! Very good daekin! Number 1! Really sorry for the DEV thread...i only tried to start the dev of a new kernel. Sorry, close or delete thread. Bye
I did my best and searched the forums, so forgive me if I missed this particular thread.
I've had this HD2 for quite awhile, and thinking of changing to another stock ROM.
I read somewhere that the HD2 actually 576mb of RAM.
Does anybody know of any ROMs that take advantage of the "locked" RAM? Or any awesomely fast NAND ROMs with Sense that has built-in OC functions (I saw a ROM that had 1.53GHz OC)
I just want to maximize the use of this awesome phone.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Flash dorimanx kernel. It supports 1.5 ghz
it seems impossible to unlock the memory
there are many oc roms,eg,dansta34's Runnymede Sense 3.5 android 2.3.5 OC daemon & HierOS 1.8.3 ker,however,you should know you do oc at your own risk
There are two versions of HD2

Confirmation please?
Someone with an TMOUS HD2 can please confirm this? Can you actually see the 576 Mb reported?
tmous has 576mb ram . Eu hd2 has less.

No, he meant RAM.
Check the website i posted...
As far as that was concerned, I heard the newer radios after 2.14 unlocked the extra portion for the system. I'm on 2.15. That was the case for the euro hd2's I heard awhile ago. Until the new radios stopped being updated.
You can check if your in windows mobile, just be sure your on the newest radio and you should show 576mb

android terminal, run "free", report back please
Everybody don't confuse RAM with ROM with processor speed...
Edit also : you could just search before you post. This is just way several topics below : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350210
No confusion. For now, it states:
TMOUS : 1GB ROM, 576 RAM
EUHD2: 512ROM, 448 RAM.
Leave cpu clock out of this topic please
Tmous - 576
Regular - 448
Regular with a tmous rom and radio - 576
They do both have the same ram, only some is hidden on the regular, only unlocked in certain circumstances.
We all, reg and tmous, show 411 under android.
Looking at another thread... i think we're all mistaken.
Both devices have the same amount of ram. The total ram reported on WM65 was not queried via a command, but a simple file pretty much like we do on build.prop on android.
So, both devices have 448 RAM, and 128 GPU RAM.
That's better...
I was actually thinking that was probably it... like those crappy laptops or motherboards with shared memory definitions for RAM and graphics board ... still much more ram than my first one (256 Mb Apple iBook)...

Yeah, basically a Tmo-US is the same as the EU HD2 but with the 576MB RAM unlocked by default (EU needs a newer radio, from .14 onwards), 1GB ROM (as opposed to 512MB), a T-Mobile logo and red/green end call/call buttons (respectively).

just for the purpose of accuracy, its the 50/51 part of teh radio version that determines whether it unlocks the memory.
Any radio that is safe for tmous to flash, (and by definition work with android) will also unlock the ram on a regular hd2. Thats 2.07.50 onwards.
Any x.xx.51, or 2.05.50 and 2.06.50, radios will..
1 - brick a tmous
2 - not unlock the ram on a reg leo
3 - cause magldr (and presumably cLK too) not to start.
