q about data.img - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

hi
i know that data.img is a file were all your datas are saved on, but what is meaning when for examlpe in the darkstone froyo tread stands " I have included a 256MB data.img, however you can use any size that you wish if you have your own data.img."
what is meaning with a 256mb data.img? and i thought it was created by itself on first reboot.

If you want to save your data.img, with all of your stuff on it, then you can, but he already has a 256 set up automatically. Check my thread link for info on data.img resizer up to 2gb; more games, etc.

Oki but what means 256mb data.img is that how much space There is on it, and what is on the data img he got, is it apps and so on or what is on it? I am a bit confused

He's created a storage space 256mb in size. There may be a couple of apps that he may have mentioned that are included, but you'll have 256mb of storage space to load pics, software, games.

Ahh okey so if you had one on 1gb you will have 1gb to install apps and other things. Is that because the android os is on the sd card so you have to make a sort of virtual interal memory on the phone

Nand and internal storage space

I love the new Nand builds of Android,I have finally settled on MDJ_FroYo_Revolution_v._2.0_NAND version which I am very happy with at the moment.My only problem I have,like many others,is storage space for apps.I think there is only about 48/50mb fre after a clean install.I think I was spoilt after coming from SD install where we had massive storage,I realise I dont need GB's of storage but i do need more as I have installed a few apps and I am down to about 4mb left.I am using app2sd as well.
Is there anyway I can create storage space on my European version?
Thanks
You should install apps2sd and install your apps to your sd card
you get it wrong tigermaster... WITH app2sd and moving apps to sd we got this prob
app2sd is still leaving data in your ram when you move something. and this little data is enough for being a prob when you dont have enough memory
I had the exact same problem. The only real soultion is to install a build that doesn't have Sense, like a Nexus build.

ahhh is that the issue? I was going to say MDJ Gingerbread on mine and I currently have 807mb internal storage w/a healthy app list but no HTC Sense.
Gingerbread
i install nand ginger i have 745 mb left after install and few apps
You guys won't have the problem with TMOUS versions, so it doesn't apply.

I think a NAND kitchen (is there such a thing?) would help a lot, and of course, barebone android would also help. Can anyone verify if this is possible? And what's the smallest android ROM out there?? I think it would help a lot of chefs could list how much free space is left.
+1 I am also looking for a bare bones Android ROM I can work from, hopefully a few fully working gingerNANDs will be around soon.

why does android still run if we delete the folder?

this might seem like a stupid question but anyway: why does android still run if we delete the folder while running android? i thought the folder is like the brain of hd2 android?

Well if I'm wrong tell me but depending on what rom you have it can still be on. If you have ram build it gets loaded from the sdcard and moved to ram.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Well that is because all the Android has been previously loaded into the RAM/Memory of the HD2, thats what i think maybe its not that way... but if you removed the SD Card physically while Android is running your device will restart!

no, man. this applies to sd builds, too
Try opening a single app and it will crash...
on execution, they are loaded into ram. as long as nothing new has to be read or written from or to sd (any app or data), it will keep on running.

Nand internal storage problem

hi
i have installed nexushd2 froyo Nand rom, and it's runing fine. but i just got 21 mb left on the internal storage, so i can't instal any apps or update.
i have tried to use app2sd but don't help anything, and have looked at some other treads but didn't help much
Load up app2sd and then move your apps to your SD card, simple! You can also use programs like Titanium backup to move them also.
If you cant figure out how to move them there isnt much hope for you im affraid.
Alternativley you should give a ROM a go that has App2SD+ or Data2Sd but you will have to create a partition on your SD card either via CWR or via a partition software. Once this is done all your apps will automatically be moved to SD when using App2SD+ or if you use Data2SD your partition will actually be a aextension of your internal memory which is much better

Only?
Dude that is completley normal! How much internal storage do you think your device has?
Ill take it you have a EU HD2 and not a US one?
in the same boat.

I have the US T-mo version and i am having the same issue as the original poster. The issue is that apparently 200 + mb's left is not enough for me. The phone decides which ones I can move and which ones go to the internal memory. Likewise App2sd is only moving a few apps. Not all the ones I am newly downloading.
I am also experienced a recent problem. I tried to open up pictures with the 3d gallery to view photos. the program started up and then the low disk error appeared out of nowhere then the gallery shut down!?!?!? Now how does this get remedied? this is not an issue for app2sd (that i know of) or moving anything is it?
thanks in advance
Yes it is a EU version, so I have to live with that i can't install Any app?

[Q] Possible to self-port the HD2 Android SD Builds for NAND?

I love the wonderfulness (as in the roms meant for the SD are way better than those for NAND, as I've observed) of the SD builds. But I want them in my phone as NAND, not on SD. SD versions always freezes on my phone, and are very slow compared to those on NAND. So... Is there any way for me to port them to NAND? I do have a little bit of experience cooking my own ROMS... And tweaking them to my liking...
Don't know if its possible, but I was having a few lags in my SD builds and I found that my problem was the SD card.. the performance of the SD should be the same as in nand, the only difference is that you should have a better battery life in nand.. you can test your SD card with a program called crystalmark , you need a card with good random read and write..

Hmm... Problem is... I kinda don't have the luxury of buying a faster SD card... Need all the money I can to fund my videography/photography hobby... But I do have the time to port the ROMs to NAND if I have the method...
Try packing the rom files into a CWM file instead of current file format, install it, flash a NAND kernel, like TyTungs then see what happens

Wasn't a joke, but if others say that this won't work they might be right.
Been always using roms from other but from the little I've seen so far it didn't seem wrong else I wouldn't have posted it

Hi
which version of HD2? 512eu or t-mous?
Perhaps the recovery partition you used is uncorrect...
I am using EU hd2. I'm currently using cyanogenmod 7 which works fine

You have to download cwr 3.02.4, and modify flash.cfg. I wrote a little guide yesterday, you can find t here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256610
post no. 8, it helped the user, I hope can help you too. This post referred to a tmous hd2, but it's the same thing for eu version. The only difference is the partition... You have to modify it like that:
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 195M
cache ya 5M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
Then, if you don't have, you have to do ext partition on sd card...

yes sure... It's necessary for apps2sdgui...
This is what you have to do:
1. format your sd card (fat32)
2. go to cwr
3. choose ad recovery
4.choose advanced
5.choose partition s. you can choose the size as you prefer, it depends on the capacity of your sd, but it can be max 2gb... swap must be 0.
6. done

this procedure will erase your sd,so make a backup:
in mgldr-ad recovery-advanced-partition sd card-1024 (or 2048)-0
so you'll have 1gb or 2gb sd-ext3 partition with 0 swap size

then you cannot choose more than 1gb. later i recommend to get at least 8gb sd (if possible sandik class4 or class2)

in my opinion (but not only mine) the best sense rom I 've ever seen... You have to flash it with no doubt...
See official thread, if you read users posts, 95% is completely satisfied, and I'm too... Very very very happy about this rom... Not much bugs, very fast and smooth...
This is such a great Rom, by far the best sense Rom at the moment, runs nice and smooth too...defo worth a try
