I have a smal question... I was wondering what will happen to the SD builds now that NAND is out. Are devs gonna disclaim those of us that like to have WM on they'r phone or like me cannot install NAND?
If u think this is not the place for the question feel free to move this
Hopefully die a quick death. By the way, why can't you install mgldr? Also, this is the wrong forum.

i suspect NAND will work for most 95% of the phones out there
the question is , SD card is old technology but does bring its benefits
backing up, upgrading builds and modifying components were a little easier made from Windows Mobile. Multiple Android boots from different Android Folders as well using Exceller's
well, to me, SD card should perhaps move to the direction of RAM.
and finally NAND only and RAM only builds should conquer.. speed, stability and functionality
Primary Generation : NAND (with some setbacks now)
Secondary Generation : RAM ( with some setbacks now)
Tertiary Generation : SD (with setbacks as well)
they all have their UP and DOWNS, I believe its CHOICE
and if you dont like Android, go with Windows Mobile ! The power to customize is up 2 you
darkstone is working on NAND+RAM, so lets see how that unfolds...

Probably because there are no or very little problems with the NAND builds so nobody has questions about them.
This is an interesting thread. I am using sd builds too. I'd like to have dual boot too because i need winmo from time to time to use mytinytv. Most recent android builds are now moving to nand. Unless magldr has dual boot options, i'd like to stick with sd builds.

I had this problem. After I did the following , flashing nand worked.
1. Flash with task 29
2. Flash stock win mo rom
3. Flash magldr
4. Flash nand rom of choice.
This process has to be done in that order.
I tried different combinations until I found this one to work repeatedly.
Hopefully you figure it out...
Also did you un check allow usb connections in active sync?
Good luck.

I believe nand is better ,faster and more stable way to have android in our phones but i think that is better to have more than one choises.
personally i do think i NEVER move the build into NAND - as I am still vigorously using the GPS software in the original WM which is too useful to me ... lol
furthermore, backing up all stuff in SD is too easy to me - so I didn't / never think of placing any backup stuff in my android builds... lol
SD RAM will defeat NAND...i guess
I believe that most of the limitation you will incur with NAND have limited chances of been resolved (user space).
I've tested 6 NAND builds, they work fine and they have a lower battery drain compared to SD and SD/RAM release.
Nevertheless most of us want to install apps and unfortunately not all can be moved to SD....so IMHO at the end the most flexible long term solution is SD plus RAM loading (to have the benefits of huge user space and good performance...with a little higher battery consumption)
Well, as much as I love flashing the living crap out of my phones. . . . I quit. . . After I got a perfected WMO and Robot combo running.
My phone runs about 97% perfect. . . Which is just the same if not better then a native Android device.
I currently absolutely want to keep WM on my phone, because I like it but especially because there are a couple of apps for WinMo which I really need. I have bought a HD2 and not an Android phone because I need both systems. Therefore I hope to see that SD Android development goes on, possibly in the RAM direction.

+10. totaly with you and with SD RAM . So why we have bought HD2 ???
DARKSTONE please continu with SD RAM .
I would be very happy to have some sd/ram build updates in the future. Obviously as we are having the nand boom at the moment, noone should expect sd/ram builds in the next couple of days, I guess.
I love having my energy rom under the android one, especially for my Igo8 navigation. And I still have one of those stupid issues with all the builds when the phone stucks on 60Ma on standby for hours, dont know why. Sd gives the freedom of costumization, great for research, I can save any build in a directory and put it aside.
Thanks for all your hard work and keep up the good work.
Nand has been the holy grail of developement - and so the big, big interest...But in going down the nand route you are losing half the functionality of the phone. So until and unless there is a dual boot option I think I'm going to stick with SD

ïs there any way already to increase the available phone space in the nand builds ?
i've searched trough the threads but couldnt find it.
Sooner or later there will be a way to do that.
I trust in our devs.
The issue has been raised quite a few times. There are ways get round the issue but only to a degree such as moving apps to your SD card but only some will allow this.
Personally, I've given up for now and will wait until a more robust workaround is created. For now I've gone back to SD and RAM builds. Hope this helps even if it helps you realise that you are not alone...

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a NAND ROM that includes both Android and WP7 installed to the NAND and partition the SD card for storage? This I believe could be possible if the NAND is partitioned correctly to allow them both to run and then you could select them in the MAGLDR!
I would like some dev feedback on this as I would try building a ROM myself but I don't know the workings of the partitioning system in MAGLDR well enough to try! I have posted this in this section as Android NAND ROM builders should know enough about the MAGLDR's partition system to know if it is possible as I love android but would also like to use WP7 as a secondary NOT primary OS!
Thanks in Advance for any help!

I know that wp7 only uses 512mb of the Nand on the T-Mobile US HD2s, so if we can somehow install and nand android build on the other 512mb, that would be great. I hope a way to do this is found.

Actually I think it would work on 512mb HD2's too since WP7 only takes up like 170mb of the NAND and doesn't even use the rest for storage if there is no SD which is strange... my phone reports 160mb used and 5mb available so it would easily allow an android ROM to fit in the rest and the SD can be storage for both...
Any Android Chefs have any ideas or feedback
I was just wondering if any android chefs could enlighten me on the partition system used in magldr?

I think it uses the whole 512... if it only reports 165 mb when you don't use sd, then the other 347mb is used by the os and just isn't reported, i'm pretty sure. Like with winmo, it doesn't show all the rom memory your device has, but it's being used still. I could be wrong.

Sorry if it's in the wrong thread but I wanted it to be a developer thread so thought here would be the right place as it's Android development. If I'm wrong a mod can move it I guess.
Oh and considering the WP7 Image only takes up like 170mb as the image then from experience of building WinMo ROMs on the diamond it normally stayed around the same size after flashing, normally no more than 20mb more... it's not like WP7 is a big OS or anything from how it looks anyway...

From the little I know I think the biggest potential issue currently is magldr only supports 8 yaffs2 partitions. http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leo/Magldr While that sounds like plenty, I believe android takes up 6 or so and I don't know how many wp7 takes. I don't see why they couldn't add support for more partitions in the future but right now that's an issue. Personally, I want winmo and wp7 on nand and everything else on SD for the ultimate multibooing experience.

Even I have been thinking about the same. The MAGLDR just has fixed address stored to boot NAND Android and NAND WP7. Can we somehow get to know what can be the address of the end of WP7 so that atleast in a TMOUS HD2 we can utilize the leftover NAND to install Android.
Me I want Android in Nand and everything else is SD - WP7, winmo, Meego, Ubuntu, Yellow Dog, Kitchen sink - all in Sd. Give me that and I will marry you!

But I have looked through the roms section and cant find one that is anything like the old darkstone , If anyone can point me out one that is similar and can be used on the Nand I would greatly appreciate it, Thank you.

Correct me if I am wrong, but installing to NAND would limit you to the amount of apps that you can install since not all apps support Moving to SD. Wouldn't you rather run a newer build, like American Android off your SD?

I'm correcting you, you are wrong!
You can create a partition on your SD which extends your internal memory, All user data is pushed there
Majority of roms come with one of various solutions to extend memory.
Not trying to hijack this thread or anything, but I haven't gone the NAND way just because of that limitation that I believed was there! I AM SO GLAD I WAS WRONG!
I guess my next question is, the maximum size of that partition would be...?
I am currently running American Android off SD, is there anything similar to that for NAND?

1GB as far as I know. Thats what is recommended by most devs. To partition all you need to do is go into recovery (Clockworkmod) and use the partition feature.
Apps2SD+ = Apps data is pushed to the partition after install or reboot in some cases I think.
Data2SD/Data2Ext = All user data is stored on partition as internal memory is extended.
data.img = Basicaly same as what data.img does on SD build, ie the .img file is used as internal memory.
(I may not be 100% accurate on the above so if anybody has more detail please add)
PS. You should have done a bit of reading, there has been roms with this functionality for ages.

I will suggest anyone going for NAND to partition to EXT4 through GParted rather than CWM though. Gingerbread is more stable, compatible and faster with EXT4.

I use Android (CM7/CM9) and it's much better than W6.5 (didn't try W7).
You can switch between different Android OS, if you use SD-Versions and choose the boot source before starting OS.
So I will have one OS on the internal memory and the others on sdcard ?

yes, this is my setup now
Tango in nand
Miui / ICS on SD
but preparing a single SD for dual boot is kinda tricky, you have to read instructions really carefully also a 16gig or even 32gig is recommended if you go that way since WP7 apps are sometimes huge!
give it some time, and a crucial piece of software will be released that will aid the ability to dual boot greatly
But in short for now
NAND _ SD
WP_ (WP combined storage)
WM_ Storage
Android _ Storage
WM _ Android
Android _ Android
WP _ (WP combined storage) + Android
WP and WM can only work from the phone at the moment, and WP really needs to use the SD card hence the difficulty in getting it dual booting with android. although we have seen WM running Within WP which is very interesting if it should ever see the light of day.
MAGLDR v2 should make it a lot easier!
You'll be very glad you got an HD2 my friend! With this the world is within your hands.
if you want multiboot, just flash an magldr
if you want android only, recovery is suggested
ubuntu's not recommanded as it's sd card based and runs not so good

Yes you can store data on those three cards separately, but I don't know if you'll be able to just switch cards to switch OS (sorry, but I use NAND android which is permanent)
Also if you do want to use NAND android you only have to partition an SD card in order to use apps2SD on Sense ROMs

A great thanks to you mate, surely you understand my situation
I've tried unofficial CM9 for my wildfire. And CM9 will definitely be faster on any device except mine as the wildlife doesn't have a GPU.
I would really want to install android on internal memory as (I think) it will be faster and more stable than on SDcard.
The problem is, u got your HD2 while it was "ready" for flashing ROMS, you said that your brother were using W7. But I will buy one which is not "ready". I arleady know how to root/S-OFF android devices but the HD2 is not android so it will have a different process which I don't know.
That's why I created this thread. To know if this process is easy or not. If it's not then it will be allot easier for me to buy an android phone and root it. But I want the HD2 because it seems to have a never ending development community
Sent from my CM7 powered Egyptian HTC Wildfire.
The process for flashing the required things so you can run Android from NAND is not really hard at all. You just have to make sure you have the correct drivers installed on your computer and that your battery has plenty of charge wo your device does not die in the middle of a flashing essential things like radio or HSPL/SPL. Just take your time and make sure you understand the instructions from the guides.
As for using three SD cards in the manor you suggested. Yes you could use one card for Windows Mobile data, one card for running Android from SD, and you can use one card to run Ubuntu from SD. I have never tried the Ubuntu on my HD2 but I have read up on it and it boots from SD the same way Android boots from SD, by opening CLCAD and the HARET. Also I have used Android from SD before and it was not really sluggish or slow. Matter of fact I have noticed very little difference between Android from SD and Android from NAND. Last when you run Android or Ubuntu from SD your Windows Mobile is still in NAND and the file explorer is what you use to boot either of them. So yes you can just swoop cards at as you want.
These guides are great:

Hi
A friend of mine asked me if I could put Android on his HD2 as he bought one with German language and he doesn't understand anything at all. Now we wan't to completely remove Windows Mobile 6.5.x from the phone and install Android. ICS with HTC sense is prefered but and older version will also do.
I have found multiple tutorials, but I wonder which method is the best. NAND or SD?
At this point in time we don't have any SD-card in the phone, so I asume the Sd method isn't usable. But which method and ROM is the best to use if we want to be able to switch language and want Android experience as close to the HTC android phones as possible.
Are there any bugs with the HD2 in Android? I've heard that there should be problems with the sound when calling people, and the data-connection should be unstable as well. Are these rumors still current or have they been solved?

Ok. First of all, Nand is the better of the two. As your friend want to COMPLETELY remove winmo6.5 its better to use NAND. Currently there is no ICS sense rom but the sense gingerbread roms work very smoothly with all features working. So you may want to try that. And dont worry you can change language from german to english. You basically select english at the startup setup.
One more thing. Even when installing the NAND version of android you will need a sd-card. The rom is a .zip file which must be copied to the sd card and this rom will be installed on the phones internal memory hence: NAND.
Hope it helps
Feel free to ask but i suggest you search it first and read more, because clearly you are lacking information

Thanks for the quick reply. I will read further on how to install using NAND method. But how big should the SD-card be. As said he doesn't have a SD-card in his phone. I have one but it's only 128MB, so not a whole lot. If the phone was using the MiniSD cards instead of microSD I had a 1GB card. But isn't it possible to get a Gingerbread HTC Sense ROM and then extract and repack it on the PC so it can fit the 128MB card. Or are the packed ROM's small enough to fit on a 128MB card?
Tell your friend to invest in about 4GB or more, once you've got a few apps, video video clips, music files and recovery backups then the 4GB will be eaten fairly fast imo. If you grab a class 6 card you can get one for less then $1/GB (aud).

Sure I'll tell him that. But will the installationsfiles for Android fit on my 128MB card?

Dont forget the thanks button
Anyways, basically the sd card is used to put the rom in and all music, pics, apps etc. will be stored on the sd card. plus, the 128 mb card will not hold the rom. Some files of the rom are installed on the sd card as well(some) so yeah, like the above user said, invest in a class 4 sd card with a fairly high amount of memory.
try the link below, it could give you an idea
You will need an SD card anyhow as mentioned before. Not only for flashing it to Nand, also some ROMs needs an ext(2 or 3) partition on the SD card. Specially when it's an EU device as yours might seems.
F.e.: I got an EU model and the great Energy ROM running - this needs a 1Gb ext(2 or 3) partition on the SD card!
-> It depends on the ROM of your choice.
Right now, I guess there is now ICS ROM with sense out there - or an I wrong?
I can definetly recommend the NRG ROM as this one runs really great. There is also a very good lashing instruction in its thread.
Good luck :good:
Ooh, ooh, me too!!

Ok. First of all, Nand is the better of the two. As your friend want to COMPLETELY remove winmo6.5 its better to use NAND. Currently there is no ICS sense rom but the sense gingerbread roms work very smoothly with all features working. So you may want to try that. And dont worry you can change language from german to english. You basically select english at the startup setup.
One more thing. Even when installing the NAND version of android you will need a sd-card. The rom is a .zip file which must be copied to the sd card and this rom will be installed on the phones internal memory hence: NAND.
Hope it helps
Feel free to ask but i suggest you search it first and read more, because clearly you are lacking information

I also want to completely remove winmo6.5 from my wife's stock UK HTC HD2 and put some form of Android OS on it so I can then get her Ovivo Mobile mobile connection to work (I'm not bothered about dual boot functionality). Could you quickly link to a guide you would recommend to do this ("Thanks" will always be given :good: ).
(Note: I had an HD2 once, and bricked it after 9 months of ownership with a dodgy radio, so I'm a bit once-bitten-twice-shy about doing it).

Here is my favourite guide. It's incredibly simple. You should really search before posting though, it isn't difficult to find.
Thanks

Thanks (and "thanks" added). I did search [and read the "sticky") but there were lots and I got confused as to which one. I'll give the one you recommend a go (which incidentaly did not come up in my [brief] search. :good:

Ah, but I would have been thoroughly confused with a thorough search, fortunatly I was only briefly confused .
