Well i have done the rooting and now i have more ques
1-best rom = i tried like 2/3 roms but they always get force close soo i need fast/stable/2.1based rom and yes dont eat much battery .....plz plz plz i m not gud at finding right rom.also what do the ppls think about CaNNon202 rom??is it stable?
2nd-do i always need to dangerSPL and Radio while installing any rom??
3-App2SD.. i idk how can i create ext2 in windows i use paragon partition manger process but when i put sd card in mobile it say i need to format it and after i just create complete 1 fat32 partition do i need to 1st create partition and then install the rom or what do i need to do to install apps on my sd card and also i need the files which i downloaded from marketplace into my card...

1, no such thing IMHO, if you want stable, stick to stock ROM
2, no
3, there are tuts telling you how to get it done in console, and, I don't recommend app2sd, slow like hell

Why wouldn't you run apps2sd? I've got the csdi roms with apps2sd and this thing is blazing fast. Besides, if you're going for apps with larger sizes, you're going to want apps2sd.
I find I'm OK with the 1.6 roms with Eclair bits. Don't need live wallpapers, and the Eclair bits have all the necessary things anyway. Personally I think the 1.6 roms are very stable at this point. Very few fcs and they're speedy.
fellows plz mention me the rom name ..i don't need live wallpapers coz it just slow the os and saying force close and what about 3d gallery coz i m not able to see the pics there..
@nmw407...mate plzz mention the rom name or i just need to unroot it and use 1.6
right?
i really recommend cyanogen. i stopped using it at 4.0.4. flashed every version he's ever made and i never really had good speed. this latest one is NICE, though, and i've hopped back on. for now. but i hear these CSDI ROMs are fast. just try any of them.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=448
just look for CSDI in the post title.
as for partitioning, i use amon_ra's recovery.
I've tried cyanogen, superD, and now I'm currently on sciencetest. All these have been very stable. For those starting out, cyanogen has the best step-by-step guide, however, it does require additional steps because he went legal. Some of the other 1.6 roms out there are one step roms.
Use amon-ra's recovery, partitioning sd cards have never been simpler. Much better than partition manager. I used to get read/write errors all the time with partition manager. With the latest amon-ra's recovery, you can pretty much do everything on the phone.
Just remember to nandroid/bart backup, and completely wipe before flashing a rom (again... super easy with amon-ra recovery.) Having a backup will save your life or at least some hair.
Right now using CaNNon202....but as as always its slow
CSDI is really fast and really reliable for me (not using apps2sd). I've had like 1 or 2 app crashes total, and I've been running it for the past month or so, so it's been a lot more stable than any other rom I've flashed previously.
Plus, you get a lot of options like customizing the number of columns in app drawer and number of home screens.
Go Cyanogen. v5 is on the way, which wont be a generic half-assed 2.1 port with reduced functionality.
I am a linux fan and I am using Linux for a long time.I bought the HTC HD2. I saw some youtube videos about Android Froyo on HD2.I want to try it but they were showing that you have to put the file on the micro sd card and you have run it from there.My question is if I do it can I run windows mobile after a new boot ?or it will boot android for all time?I just don't want to let windows go because may be i will switch back.Can any one please help me?
Yes, you can easily get into winmo, every time you shutdown android you have to load winmo first and then use haret to load android, so no worries .

You can also get a boot loader from XDA and choose which you want to load at start up. windows or android...

Thanks for quick reply.Do you know which devices will not work on HTC HD2 if I run Android?Cause little confused here .Some people says wifi does not work ,some says camera does not work.Do you know actually what does not work?
That was a loooong time ago^^
Now, EVERYTHING WORKS, unless:
- You have an inappropriate Kernel (some still have issues, but the latest one works flawlessly)
- You have an inappropriate ROM (there's been reports on CM6 not being ok with all Kernels, hence the 1°)
- You have an "Exotic" rom (Desire HD, Desire Z...) : these aren't fully supported ATM
However, there are known issues with:
- Tethering, especially Wifi, it's not yet always 100% ok
- Kernels, they are all being tweaked, but IMHO, go for it, I don't boot WinMo anymore
- And other small annoyances, but that depends on your device, rom, kernel, etc etc etc
FOR YOUR CONCERN:
- Booting from an SD card is far from a flaw (to me) : Copy aside your data.img, and copy a build over it. You'll never loose your personal data by flashing again
- Hence this : Don't ask for "the best Android rom", all you'll have will be personal opinions, and may not suit you. Try them, it's damn easy, you won't loose your personal data, it's a matter of days
- Ask about the really important stuff : Kernels and Radio, and things like that, but AFTER getting through the other post and thread. Nothing more annoying than a "noob" (and we've ALL been through there, but...) that didn't (at least) try looking for himself.
->Try asking questions, starting with "I've been looking for this, found this, understood this, but need help about that" and you'll see how people will be grateful ^^

To be honest, i just (finally) being able to install Froyo on my HD2, after a lot ROM changing, Radio ect....
I must say, is not really easy to finally find the perfect combination so u can use Froyo as your daily OS (at least for me)...but u will always got XDA, and from my opinion, all the hard work (flashing, changing rom/radio) is really worthed....
so far i dont have any problem running android on my HD2...
Sorry for my bad english....
I'm posting this in General as I don't have the knowledge to port this or develop a similar version for the Slide and I don't want to clutter up the Development forum.
Team ADX over in the Droid Eris forum came up with this gem; a dual boot Eclair Sense/2.2 AOSP ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824072
I don't know if this can be done on our phones, but I thought it possible as you don't need to flash a custom recovery.
man this would awesome... the best of both worlds, run and "stock" ROM so we can still receive updates and still have CM.
i was actually thinking about dual boot just the other day! i dont feel like id be switching back and forth from 2 roms but itd be a great feature for those who do. unfortunately i dont think we have that much developers :/
I was reading the instructions for it and it looks like we'll have to wait for S-OFF before we can try it.
Part of the scripting is telling the phone how to partition the phone, sizes of those partitions, and so on. The slide is, generally speaking, un-brickable and it's the measures used to give us that luxury that also prevent us from doing so much like R/W on the system while in a non-recovery boot and changes we do make while booted are just wiped on reboot *sigh* man I love that ramdisk image.
Once we get S-OFF let's get this project started

I don't think S-OFF is the issue. The partitioning instructions only refer to sdcard. This command:
Code:
mkpartfs primary fat32 0 3500 (can be adjusted to your needs. This partition will be used by the 2.1 rom and by recovery)
I think is only for the phone ROM storage and the for the recovery to find the boot scripts. According to the instructions, they're only partitioning the sdcard to run the AOSP ROM in it. They install the 2.1 Sense ROM to the phone, get it set up, run the boottosd script to boot into the 2.2 AOSP ROM on the sdcard, then set that up and run the boottophone script to go back to 2.1 Sense. They're running a ROM on the sdcard!
As I said before, I think something like this can work for our phones because it doesn't require flashing a recovery. The problem is we don't have the devs to do it.

You won't be able to do a simple port. I posted about it more of as a proof of concept. Take the same idea, but obviously using our espresso sense and CM6.

Ok that makes sense. I thought it was pointing to the partitions on the phone telling it to format to a different size for some reason. Then what's preventing us from doing this? Just a lack of a proper script?
I have not poked around with how they are going about doing everything, but I was the one who got the ball rolling with my dual boot linux script. Conap took the basic setup and made some changes to just install them both on the phone and sdcard. Here is the basic of what it is doing....
The init.rc file found in boot.img has been modified for the froyo rom on the sdcard. The lines where it mounts [email protected] , [email protected], and [email protected] have been changed to the partitions on the sdcard (/dev/block/mcblk0px) The updater-script for froyo has been modified to flash the rom to the partitions on the sdcard. There are some gscripts which are ran from the phone that either modify or replace the boot.img for the rom you want to boot into.
The froyo ROM is running completely off the sdcard and the recovery is left untouched. The script that is required if you are using clockworks is because clockworks sbin and folder locations are setup a little different. I was running into some problems with froyo not recognizing the sdcard after making more than 4 partitions. Several had reported to me that their phones also did not recognize the sdcard, but the Eris phones somehow still did. I am working on something that should run from all android phones and allow you the option of installing whatever ROM you want.
One Last Thing..
Anyone is capable of learning how to do some development work. It just takes some patience and "Google". I had no knowledge of linux or any other scripting languages, except windows batch scripts, until 3 months ago.
There is not much activity on my thread, but once I get a working version finished it will be posted there-----Dual Boot Android
When you get it done and own working, post it in development. I only posted the thread in general because I knew I wasn't going to be the one to develop it. I'm a welder by trade and java and linux are a little beyond me. Although I am trying as I'm using Ubuntu as my main OS and starting reading java tutorials.

If there was ever a reason to get a dev started on a project, this would be it. I would reconsider upgrading from the Slide if we had something this awesome.

From what I understand, android can not *see* more than 4 partitions so they had to do something a bit different. Somewhere in the thread that's linked it states what they did to get it to work.

The "companies" wanted s-off due to the large number of brix getting returned for handest exchange and assurion claims, just to figure out somebody pooched sumthin up trying to be a HAXOR, if you haven't done anything like this before. Id suggest peeps get a g1 or some other root & rom-o-matic type for and play with it till you take on your brand new handset trying to install some bleenin edge hack...
You gotta learn to wank off before you can try it with somebody else in the room.
I remember my early days at xda, hacking my mda, xcaliber, and esato hacking SonyEricsson fones before they jumped the shark. People who had the ability to read and follow directions (emphasis on the read part) would study till they were sure they would still have a working fone at the end. Hung out and did great stuff with there handsets. And the noobs were wary enough to investigate before they just started mucking about.
So the handset manu. Had to do sumthin and now we have s-off.
the moral of my high and mighty rant an rave, if you don't know how to do sumthing or if you understand what to do but not the why, then keep reading, read more do less

In the newest builds they have 2.1 system on the phones system partition and froyo system on the phones data partition. The data is moved to the SD. 2.1 and previous Rome had no problem with extra partitions on the sdcard.froyo changed the way it mounts the sdcard and could only see 4.
I am actually releasing a dual boot method very shortly that should work on any android phone with very little setup required on your part. I am in the process of finalizing it. Anyone interested in testing please let me know as I want to test on as many devices ad possible

Tried posting this in Ginger yoshi 1.1 (android 2.3.4) for 32b and 32a ^_^, but apparently new users aren't allowed to post in those threads, so here goes.
#1 How do I keep the Wifi powered on even after the screen turns off in ROM v1.1?
#2 As I do not have any carrier services on my device, after the intial boot, time
goes out of sync quite rapidly. My guess is the new kernel with all of its power
optimizations, keeps the CPU deactivated/in a low power state for lot of clock cycles. Although it greatly extends battery life, the clock quickly lags behind.
Android already has time syncing service built in, but unfortunately it only seems to do that during boot time, but never after that. Now if it can be modified to work like the windows time syncing service, that would be great. Maybe it can sync time once every 3-6 hours and if wifi was disabled for a preiod longer than that, then as soon as the wifi device was activated & a internet connection was available.
#3 The SDHC flash card in my device has 3 partitions, FAT32, EXT4 & Linux SWAP. When I flashed GY ROM v1.1 it activated a swap on the EXT4 partition; my guess is this works similar to Windows swap file on the system partition, where as Linux uses a seperate partition for SWAP. Question is, does Android or GY ROM able to see & use the SWAP at the end of the SDHC card?
I ask because, if Android/GY ROM can see/use the Linux SWAP partition, I can tell it not to install a SWAP file in the EXT4 partition. On the other hand if it can't, I can just delete the Linux Swap partition & enlarge the EXT4 partition by extending it into the freed space.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi everybody,
my sister has got this phone a month ago and she is obviously out of memory. So the most immediate step is to install Link2SD. I am used to my Galaxy phone where to root it one just needs to hold Vol UP+Home+Power to get into the stock recovery and install any zip files. So after founding nothing useful in Internet I decided to ask in here:
- Is there any similar "hotkey" for the e400 to boot in stock recovery?
- Can the stock recovery install any zip file?
- Does the 1click rooting for Galaxy phones really works? If so I can make a simple zip package with "su" only, she would get mad dealing with notifications and all crap like that (I know, it would be more insecure but we just give permissions all times, anyway don't we? )
- Would it break the official updates? I know that the rooting would be lost after updating, but it would be a matter of seconds to redo it if it works like above.
- Any idea about a custom kernel (better if the latest stock one with modified scripts in RAM disk) with support for /etc/init.d? I could port my script Switch2SD which operates like Link2SD but at boot time.
- Last but not least, why the heck the SD card has two FAT partitions?!? What's the point for Android to show the first SD partition as "internal memory" if it doesn't really use it? Well, it does, but with App2SD which is lame.
I am not really interested on CWM or Custom ROMs unless they are really needed. Thanks in advance for any help!!
First, the L3 doesn't have a stock recovery, the key combo only do a full wipe;
Second, use SuperOneClick to root the L3, it works very well;
Third, Rooting your device doesn't break the official updates (if there will be any);
Fourth, I am working on a kernel that supports init.d, and I don't know about any stock kernels with init.d (only overclock);
And at last, I don't know why we have two FAT partitions, but I know that we can merge these partitions with SDMergE400.
Hope I helped!

Thank you very much, very kind from you! But that introduces a new question: how can I install SuperOneClick if I can't get into the stock recovery?
EDIT: never mind, I thought it was the .zip for the root installation for the Galaxy phones..
Then will your kernel be ready soon? Will it be a stock one?
Well, I am modding the kernel on the SDMergE400 zip, just testing, then I will mod the Stock kernel!
But these are just plans, it will take a little time...

Never mind, I managed to root the phone (with spectrum_root_linux_osx from OS X. It works!!) and I installed Link2SD. I must say that this phone seems amazingly fast! I have a Galaxy Pop Plus (it's equivalent to the Galaxy Y) and its performances are horrible. The LG e400 is a nightmare in terms of system administration, though. With our phone we can do everything from stock recovery.So I better leave it as it is. Hopefully Link2SD won't mess up. My sister seems confident enough with it now. But if it breaks it will pain a customer support pain (you know, sisters.. ).
If you don't feel good to mess up with your phone, you better leave it as it is, like you said!
Android isn't for the users who want everything simple and ready, we have to think a little when using it (and that's why there are much people with iPhones and stuff)

Sure. That would be true for me as well If only I wasn't the developer of the custom and stock modified (with /etc/init.d support) kernels for my Galaxy S5570I phone..
What I meant is that the way the filesystems/Partitions are organized in the LG e400 is totally different from everything I have seen before. For example I made now 3 partitions in the SD card for Link2SD with the first one of 20MB. Android still reports a first partition of 1GB. It's just that I don't have time to mess up with it, being my sister's phone. So i decided to leave it rooted with Link2SD and that's it. I checked SDMergE400 as well, but they talk about installing a CM 9 to make it working. I could do it if the phone was mine, but not with someone else phone. regarding my phone, it sucks. badly. Ask anyone with a Galaxy Y, which uses the same CPU BCM21553. We don't even have the source codes to make full use of the GPU Videocore IV and thus to port the CM. In Antutu benchmark the soldiers go at 10-14 fps.
The iPhone (iOS) has mods as well, anyway. People are doing some pretty neat stuff after jailbraking it. Which is not even needed to run some basic useful tools like Adblock, unlike Android that needs to be rooted.

The iPhone (iOS) has mods as well, anyway. People are doing some pretty neat stuff after jailbraking it. Which is not even needed to run some basic useful tools like Adblock, unlike Android that needs to be rooted.

Oh yes, filesystems on the L3 are REAL messy :/
But I got a chinese tablet (SK-3031 or GT-1230) and it's really, really complex to work in it's filesystems, so it's easy for me ;D
And Android have some neat features by default that the iDevices don't (freedom, for example) :laugh:
