Maybe (probably) I'm missing the obvious, but I was wondering why ROMS on the Magic need to be configured using the sd card to run. I understand that the G1 has very limited memory, and thats the answer, but the MT3G as I understand has considerably more memory. Can a ROM just be ported over to run off the internal device on the Magic without having to worry about partitions and all the related issues?
Sorry to waste anyones time if this is stupid.....
Often the SD configuration is optional unless it is a Hero ROM, also wrong forum section and this thread has been reported to the mods.
Moved to General, should this be moved anywhere else?

Not the mods! LMAO sorry to have caused you to come down from your elite perch on high to associate with a mere mortal who's not a dev. I'm not worthy!!!!! Peace brother, take a breath and enjoy life its a forum, I didn't mean to track mud in your living room
With NAND seeming to be so close I wanted to start a poll as to where an HD2 NAND Development forum should be. My personal belief is that it should be under the parent "HTC Leo: HD2" forum, on it's own and not under this forum "HD2 Android Development". I think this way so that it keeps actual future "Flashed" versions seperate from the current dual-boot versions we use right now.
Thoughts?
P.s.
I'm a big boy, and expect to be flamed as I'm sort of a noob but please see this for what it is... a poll and suggestion to start a new forum in the near future.
I think there should be a forum on its own in the future AFTER NAND is developed, if not we will have a lot of bricked newbies.
So, before this thread gets deleted - let me say that this forum will most likely become the nand development forum once efforts arrive at that.
If you think about it, the dev team and testers working on that aspect of android for the hd2 most likely have a robust method of team communication already in place amongst themselves and would probably be more distracted by the forum signal to noise ratio, and really, who cares about running droid off an SD card when methods to run it from nand become/are available?

Completely agree, definitely AFTER.
There's no need to have a separate forum. This one is plenty big enough to handle all actual HD2 android development posts if all the posts that don't belong here (this poll for exemple) are posted in the general android forum.
I agree that mostly everything with become NAND in the future, but I also think it will take awhile for developers to completely move to NAND. Some people are not going to use NAND at all, they prefer dual boot. So in my opinion there will be both floating around for awhile at least.

Imagine this....we keep the forums of nand and dual boot together, new people hop on the forum that have NO idea what nand is and they flash it the wrong way. Then we have about a hundred of these posts a day asking why there phone wont turn on. Recipe for disaster.

That's what the forum stickies are for
Also, it seems to me that even with all of the FAQ, stickies, and what have you here at xda, there STILL seems to be an abundance of "help i kilt my phone' posts pretty much in every sub forum in fact LOL
same forum - and gl finding any chefs wanting to make sd stuff when they can cook roms to flash right onto the phones internal storage - fast, clean....
Let me put it this way, if you've been around here long enough you know that most rom chefs have that competitive spirit...that is, each individual is always looking to be the fastest, most stable, most desired rom at xda.
Bud, if a nand flash lets me cook roms that are even a fraction faster and more stable than running off sd and dual boot, guess where I'm gonna spend my valuable cooking time?
jus sayin

Your definitely right about people always asking for help (No matter what) but ive heard quite a few people say that there sticking with dual boot. I guess we will have to see, im sure if NAND runs incredibly great it will change there minds.

Do you really think the developers will write a loader to write a haret version of android into flash?

if you don't know how to work ur microwave, you probably wanna dig up the manual and read it first before you use it.

NAND should have its own subforum
Completely agree.

Yes, yes, I agree. But unfortunately a lot of newbs don't do there research first, which is there own fault. But I think the idea of XDA is to make it as simple as possible. Only time will tell, I just think there will be never ending questions if nand and dual boot are mixed. But who knows.
Makes sense as soon as there is a NAND version. Not before IMO
So, shoot the noob

Well there is going to be the FIRST nand version for HD2 with in 24 hours
imho it should be best to divide the forums like this
HD2
---HD2 General
---HD2 WinMo Q&A
---HD2 Android Q&A
---HD2 ROM Windows Development
----General talk (No roms inhere)
------Themes
------Apps
------Games
---HD2 Android Development
-----General talk (No roms inhere)
---------Themes
--------- Apps
--------- Games
-----HD2 ROM Android Development
-----HD2 SD Android Dev
---Nand info
------Winmo vs. Android comparison (only facts, no bs)
this would make things so much easier in search maybe ppl. wouldn't make so much unnecessary threads

Can't agree more...
k this has been posted on many threads by me and others yet users still whine about the available ram i'm tired of it, so i thought of opening a new thread for your queries regarding only the ram.
now to your ram questions lets take a look at the other popular android phone,
HTC desire, it was advertised as 576 mb ram and but on using this phone i found only 398 mb available.
So,
HTC Desire-576mb ram(398 useable)
Sgs-512mb ram(304 useable)
I also believe samsung did no falsely advertise their product. All android phones have this. Even my htc hd2 which is windows mobile did not show 448 mb of ram.
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/h...ideoPopup.do?howto_vdo_seq=457&map_seq=39066#
visit this link if u have more doubts. So lets leave samsung at peace here instead of nagging them for no fault of their own.
dear administrator would it be possible to have a seperate thread for nand maybee as a sub catogary in android development, so we would have seperate "NAND" and "SD" threads
More likely the SD builds would fall into a subcategory as NAND becomes the standard as it is with all the other android phones.
There will be no need for a separate forum. If you read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894143 you can clearly see how new build threads have to be named so that you can clearly see what is for what with regards SD, SD RAM or NAND builds and kernels.
still would be nice not having to filter through tho
Do a search of this forum, titles only for [NAND] or [SD].....done.
Example for NAND: http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=54393021

Bunch of debbie downers... Whynot66 I say why not!!!??? Whats it hurt? Like organizing the threads would cause the world to end.
Have a good new year!
Sorry guys as of right now there will be no new forum with SD and Nand divided. Please use the "tagging system" provided in the How to Title your thread topic to learn an understand the topics titles and help you with the sorting of topics.
Typically I would probably close this thread but at the same time, I do think that it could also serve a purpose.
I'm going to add a poll and move this thread to HD2 Android General Discussion.
I don't think we should make another forum/sub forum for NAND builds. To be honest it's more hassel for the Devs/Cookers. Say if they want to maintain both their SD and NAND builds, get feedback from people, the burden will be heavier. Like Mdeejay, he has so much builds out already, if he makes a NAND version each one, then has to make a new thread for each one, and in a different forum, and he's gonna have to keep up with feedback for each thread.
Their is already to many subforums in the hd2 section. Most out of any other phone. Lets add an UBUNTU section too while were at it. Because that doesn't fit in any category. Vote is definitely NO
my argument is that there will be a lot of people sticking with the sd builds so they can keep winmob, there will be so many builds popping up [sd] [ram] and [nand] new posts and builds released if unpopular will soon disappear of the first few pages. and things will get confusing.
I highly doubt the rest of the cooks will even update any further builds for sd. They'll just leave them as is.

I hope that doesn't happen... there's still a lot of us that will still be using SD builds.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Zara is right. I think a good majority of users will still want SD builds. One really good advantage of SD builds is the big amount of storage available, which I think many of us appreciate, well atleast us non-TMOUS HD2 users.
Either way a forum will always have unpopular threads/builds, which in our case, if unpopular, is probably a build which has a build that has not been updated in a long time or outdated.
Lets save ourselves the server space no? It's not hard to look at thread titles for SD, NAND or RAM is there?
Why not?
a NAND and SD forum wouldn't be hard and it would make those of us looking for just NAND way faster.
quit arguing just to argue unless you have a reason for NOT wanting it. not why search is so much better.
Organization is key to success
It might be organized but it's still a waste. Why can't Devs have simply one thread for both an SD and NAND build, or only one, instead of having to manage two threads? Is our stress of simply pressing a link or two and just viewing titles comparable to the stress of what Devs would have to go through?
Useless, useless idea. It will be no for me.
To much sub-forum would kill forum
Interesting that the most vocal are the naysayers but currently 76% of those voting say yes to separate forums....in the meantime my earlier post will show you how to setup a search on title for [Nand] and [SD]...you can also bookmark these searches so you would be able to pull up only nand posts or only sd posts already.
I don't see the point or reason to add another sub-forum to the already large list of sub-forums for the hd2, it might end up being convenient to some of us that don't want to have to read thru the titles of [NAND]/[SD]/[SD-RAM], but what is also going to create is more work for the devs that will have to monitor multiple threads and more threads for the mods to follow up on. I think the new label system is a great idea and I'm sure it will do the job of showing people what to look for, and like famewolf said it about how to search and bookmark threads, maybe he should make a thread showing people how to use the new labeling system when doing a search.
Count me in on it. I think it will be productive for those of us who wish to stick with SD. Already some devs are switching over to NAND and abandoning SD. Separating forums I believe would resolve this.
how will it create more work? its the same amount of threads either way just actually organized instead of the mess it is right now and the bigger one its going to become. besides a nand section there should also be a ram section as far as im concerned. and if its the devs that dont want to "create more work" for themselves then they should probably not release multiple builds. im all for as many builds as we can get of course but id sacrifice quantity for quality... wouldn't everybody? not to mention the same build made 3 different ways is nice and all but it seems kind of redundant. why not just make the best one of all 3 versions especially if you dont want to play tech support for them?
yeah ok we can get a headache and strain our eyes on the ever growing extra long string of capitol letters designating what something is in brackets or of course go a few more steps and search but having another sub forum is not exactly taxing work. if a mod or admin cant handle it then what are they possibly gonna do when a *gasp* new phone comes out or a different os becomes available to the hd2?!? this is a forum. forums are organized. i also run my own. i cant think of any reason why i wouldnt let users make a sub forum if it was called for. having 3 separate ways to install something all mixed up together is annoying. i cant even see how another sub would even get in the way of the people who dont want it. youd think people would vote to make it easier to find what they are looking for rather then continue the endless stream of usually snide "use the search" posts. i mean...im obviously gonna continue to use the forum but its either gonna be better or the same as it is. we dont even have a app section for android. not sure what makes us think we could get this too. on the other hand not sure why theres such resistance to it in the first place...
Hello,
I've been trying different ROMs for months now and the only one that really fits me is "prj Clean Desire v0.3.2".. but it hasn't been updated and there are really some stuff that just stops it from being perfect (like News widget not searching etc).
Anyway, I'm really looking for a stock Desire(HD) rom that fits in EU HD2 NAND with a little room to spare for apps (+/-50MB?). I don't feel like having to use all sorts of tricks to boot Linux from USB and format my card with all sorts of partitions when I only need a little space for some basic apps and thats it.
I don't care if its deoxed or squashed or whatever those things mean, I only want:
1. Percentage battery icon
2. Easy way to choose the GPS location.
3. DFT install / CWM - doesn't really matter (although DFT is even easier..)
Does a rom like that exist (except prj's) and have I been blind all this time? If not (and you'll be so kind and refer me.. , will anyone be able to make such a rom?? I'll be glad to donate some of my precious hard earned money
Thanks!!
Stock Desire HD RUU is about 420mb
so NO WAY it can fit in a 512mb LEO without removing a lot of stuffand, also if removed, you can have no more than 80-100mb free in the best case and with all unnecessary apps and stuff removed
So your request is almost impossible.Only way is to sqyash it, but for me is not a great way to proceed (but this is just me feeling)
what's bad about sqyashing stuff? and 80-100 mb is more than enough.. how many apps do I need install? 5? 10?? should be enough..
second that!
I want desire hd rom like MDJ's SuperLight ROM, but a lil bit updated!

Whether or not the devs see it is besides the point. This is for posting builds/roms etc.
We have a Q&A and General forum, next time you should post something in there, if they see it, they see it, if they don't, they don't.
Can you imaging what kind of ****hole the dev section would turn into if everybody was allowed to post any old topic in here? We need it to be clean and organised.
cheers for putting it in the right place then!
