Dual boot - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Is it possible to have both android and wm7 on ur NAND,(probably only for 1024leos) with both having apps to SD? Like what if yu load wm7 on to NAND first, let it boot and format the memory card, then flash a bare froyo onto the rest of the NAND(maybe even use a super ram build) that would be freekin awesome! !! Just curious....

Well technically it would be possible yeah, but it would require new version of magldr that can partition nand in a way to store both and to call each separate build from the partitions.
Can you do it now, No.
You can however dual boot WP7 from nand and Android from SD. There are guides in the SD forum.

Thst sounds just as good..ima have to Check that out...

[Q] difference betwwen NAND and SD card android development.

hey...
iam using t-mobile HD2 :
ROM version-2.13.531.1
radio-2.10.50.26
protocol ver-15.39.50.07U
and i want to install android on my phone. i have been reading quite a few threads everyday but the more i read i guess the more confuse i get.
some say that u should use HSPL.. some are against it... some say that we should flash android from SD card , some are again against it..
WHAT I NEED:-
1)i want to put android in my phone. preferably 2.2 froyo as i think that 2.3 mite be heavy for HD2.
2) i dont want dual OS. that is i just want android on my phone and not android and windows 2gethr.
please guide me. which steps should i follow...??

NAND means is short for NAND. memory/ NAND chip. This is what is called the flash memory of the HD2. It is also where the Windows Mobile OS is. So if you flash a NAND Android ROM you will wipe Windows Mobile, also your HD2 will boot into Android when you turn your HD2 on. You have to have MAGLDR or cLK to do this though.
Installing to NAND is faster and more stable, since the SD card might not have the read/write speeds to supply the OS. What is more, running Android from SD is booting up WinMO first and Android second, which is obviously slower.
I have a DesireHD ROM on my HD2, I have tried gingerbread builds too but without Sense it sucks imo. Hardware is more than enough, SetCPU just rocks (overclocking).
There is a nice and comprehensive guide on how to install the stuff, first HardSPL, then flash a new radio, then install MAGLDR, then flash an Android build (preferably rooted, I have had problems with rooting since z4root does not work).

that is i'l only have one OS in my phone and that would be android.. right.??
are NAND methods successful..??
if yes then can u please link me to the BEST guide available to follow the NAND method because android from SD is unstable.. crashes a lott...

-Yes. It will wipe your Winmo completely
-Yes. If you flash NANDROID, then you will only have Android.
-Some NANDROID ROM works, some dont. It really depends on your handset conditions and the rom itself. You might experience that you cant flash certain Nandroid Rom while others can, vice versa. But dont worry, there are many roms you can try out and see it if it is suitable for your needs

hey..
thanks for the link... actually iam also using SD American Android at the moment...
it is working fine but it does crash now and then.. i usually have to shift applications to phone to make them work properly.. or else it crashes a lott...
so 1 final question...
do you advice to put NANDROID...?? i mean if American Android is working fine then should i go for nandroid or not..??
will it increase the performance and will the freezes decrease..??
im glad i switched to nandroid. it is a lot faster, stable and no freezes.

[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

need simplest nand build for my hd2

hello guys
at first sorry if my english isnt so good, im from germany
i need an android nand build for my hd2, which i install with my sd card. but after the installation it must works without problems with a other sd card. app2sd and the thing with the ext partition is without matter, because it is a gift for my girlfriend and she will put her own sd card in it. so it must be a simple build which has no bugs which is the best?
thanks.
if it is going to a girl you can try any miui build. they are eyecandy and small in size.
can you suggest me one ? because i didnt understand what u mean with miui build.

miui builds have a user interface similar to i-phone but better than it of course
thank you very much
so when i install a miui rom, its not a problem when it runs without a sd card or with an another ? i had many nand roms and there were problems when i took off the sd card very often...
In settings-storage there is a choice to remove sd card securely. Check it before removing sd.

help please!

hi, i saw on clockwordmod the "install rom from sd card" option and i'm curious..if i download cm10 rom on my sd card, is it possible to install it via that cwm option? probably stupid question but i'm a noob and i would really like to have JB on my HD2 but i don't know what's the easy way to do it.. thank you all

Of course it is, but you need a partition on your sd card. Also, newer roms come with the aroma installer and then, when you start the installation, aroma starts and you're asked if you want nand(probably tmous only) or data2ext(everything goes to partition) type. Then you select the second one(if you partitioned sd card) and it installs it itself. There's also the newest method called native sd. Search for tutorials and other because what I wrote isn't enough.
Just to mention, you can partition your sd with cwm, or mini tool partition wizard. With partitioning, you lose all the data that you have on sd.
Good luck!
thank you just one more question.. when i do sd par. which size on ext size should i put? i have 3 options (128,256 and 512 mb)?

Read if the rom yr installing has any instructions regarding a preferred partition size. Other than that it's up to you, you can do some reading on here about it. I'd opt for 512. I currently use 1024. You won't break anything, jump in, pick one and enjoy getting to try the latest jellybean! Try Paranoid Android, you'll hate to be without the "hybrid mode" once you try it.

If you mean the JB 4.2 camera, then you should really read more carefully. The title and OP clearly state the ROM is a JB 4.1.2 ROM, there aren't any 4.2 ROMs available yet. Luckily for you, there's a link to my thread containing some of the 4.2 apps (both flashable zips and .apks) in my sig.

nativesd is dependant on your sd card having a decent random write speed. if its slow, you get lags and hangs.

[Q] How to use multiple ROMS (native sd)?

All NativeSD ROMs go into the same one ext4 partition.
