If so, can you tell me how to install it? Every guide I've read so far tells me to flash it from recovery... Seeing as we run android off the sd card, this is not possible. Just installing the apk unfortunately does not work.
Thanks in advance!

You can extract the files, then place them in a folder called "root" in your Android folder. That should work but it also might not depending on your build.

I'm running Hyperdroid V1.2 on my hd2 and I really miss the HTC_IME keyboard from my last rom. Thanks guys!
You need to find the apk file for it, just Google HTC_ime orGoogle mobilism you'll find it on there, then install it, go to keyboard settings activate it, go to new message press and hold in text box select input method and select HTC_ime

So how would I install the apk file? Is there a certain spot in the SD card I need to leave it? Thanks for your help!

Doesn't need to be in a special place on the card, but Its helps to keep all your apk's in a folder for easy finding. Once you've copied the file to your card, you can use any file manager from the market to locate and install the apk. Don't know how much you know but .apk files are to Android what .cab files are to Windows mobile and .ipa files are to Iphone OS. Cheers.
Sounds simple enough thanks guys appreciate it!

What if you want to install it to /system/app? If you simply use a file manager to open the apk file won't it install to /cache?
To install to system do I simply adb push it or adb install it?
You can grab the keyboard you want out of/system/app from your old build and then put it into the androidapps folder of your new build and then reboot. Should work, please let me know though

Hi all!
I have been playing around a little bit - building the kernel and so on...
When I am starting Android (using haret) a boot-picture is shown while loading Android.
Does anyone know where to turn this off, so I can see the linux boot progress (like on a regular Linux machine) ?
This would be very useful if something goes wrong during the boot process or a fsck is in progress...)...
Thanks in advance!

Any luck? I am running the old "DISCONTINUED - Stock Gingerbread Rom
by xboarder56" ROM and want to remove the Blue HTC HD2 Splash Screen. I have removed the Nexus Boot Animation and just the stock Android one remains.
I'm interested in such a solution, too. I found it more interesting, to see the linux boot messages than the X.
It is logo.rle.

Look this thread.
I suspect that was the file I was looking for. Now a quick ? I have gone into ES File Explorer and Enabled Root as well as mounting the File System as writeable, instead of read only, and it still won't let me delete the file. Any way to remove this while working from the OS?
Thanks in advance for the reply btw.

Tried to decompress using OS X 10.6, 7zip on Win 7 x64, and MacDrive. No dice. Sigh.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hey I did a search and browsed for the answer without luck... is there a simple way to add the clockworkmod recovery 3.x to rom manager it only has 2.x at this time but would be nice if I could ad 3.x to the list. Downloaded it to my SD card so wondering if there is a folder I can put it in that Tom manager would pick up? Thanks for any help!

U have to do it manually. It won't work with rom manager at this time
Not sure if it works, but I saw this posted somewhere. If it does work its a bit of a hack, but in the folder that rom manager downloads the recovery to, move that file out to a different folder. then put the Clockwork 3 recovery into that folder and change its name to match the original file. Then flash recovery.
Interesting option..
Ok excellent thanks for the help.

Anyone know the file path? Can't seem to find the file?

I was just clearing out my SD card when I noticed in a folder called "download" on the root of the card there was a lot of apk files called "downloadfile-1.apk" with different numbers in place of the 1. Does anyone know where these come from and if I'm ok to delete them? Thanks.

These are Android packages for the apps you have downloaded probably through some application.
These are safe to delete as your actual apps installed will live elsewhere. It is safe to say if your not noticing anything not installed and you don't know what they are, these can be deleted. If you need them again and you have paid for them, the market should have these information stored with your google account and can be downloaded again if needed.
If you really want to, you can transfer them to your home pc for backup. You can find out what they are using the android software development kit if you so wish, using a program called aapt.
Thanks for the advice. Very helpful.

[Q] How to convert any "initrd.gz" of NAND/NativeSD ROM to "SD" Version?
I'm successfully convert many ICS NAND ROMs and others to SD version.
I used UBUNTU to create the .ext4 system/data files
I used the Updater-script to 'grep' the required actions for setting the symlinks and permissions.
With the Help of the NAND version of the Initrd.gz, I success for many ROMs to create updated Initrd.gz and it Boots fine.
With Others new ROM, it Hangs at booting process which needs much time and efforts to study the init.rc, initcleo.................... which i can't.
I have tried to convert the "Initrd.gz" of many ROMs to SD version but always failed.
The reason is the Technique for SD definitions in "init.rc", init.htcleo.rc, ......." which many of us don't know about.
There are some few ROMs has been converted by the cookers and they are working fine.
Most of the New ROMs specially "JB" are not easy to be converted.
Here I'm trying to find a guide or special instructions for those specific files mentioned above to step over a restricted way for conversion.
Please, if any of you has experience in this or did his experimental tries for the same to help us in here.

This is actually a great thread and it helped me much but it doesn't support JB as i stated in the first post.
Hi,
why don't you use NativSD?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda app-developers app
Why No NativeSD
Because i like to try many ROMs without intervention.
When i use the normal SD versions for ROM then i need to test another rom, all what i need to do is:
1- Remove the old files for that ROM from the folder and copy the other.
2- Keep both ROMs and play with them.
3- In case i need to do Backup, simply copy all directory files to any storage (So simple).
But with Native SD, it requires many procedures like (Prepare the SD, create parti., .........) which i don't like that way.
I always prefer the SD method and i love to convert NAND ROMs or NativeSD to SD.
Anyhow, thanks for your question but i didn't yet got a reply.
