is there any way to extract the sound files from a NAND rom? other than flashing it to your phone, and copying and pasting on the phone itself to the SD card, then to the computer?
Hi.
Try un-zipping the ROM.
Go to \system\media\audio
Enjoy
the contents of the unzip file doesn't have that in it for a nand build, all it has is the install.exe and a few other system files.
So I just bought a HD2 last week, after a little trial and error I managed to install this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117787 following the guide in the thread.
Every thing is running fine, no bugs, really fast and am really pleased with the phone and rom.
The only thing that I am a little unsure of, is that looking around the forums at other roms and also in the MIUI forums I see a lot of people talking about needing specific cache/partition/swap (not exactly sure which) sizes to run each ROM, in the MIUI forum it says "rom need to be at 150mb for magler/cLK to work right."
But following the guide for the ROM there is no mention of this an I did not do this step, the only thing I did was use CWM to create a EXT and swap (just chose sizes I thought would suffice) to get apps2sd to work once I had installed the rom.
Now I know the ROM runs fine but my question is will it run any better if I created the correct sized cache/partition/swap (whatever the hell it is!!)?
Sorry for sounding such a noob but this phone is a little different from my old hero to install ROMs on
When you flash clockwork mod you can edit the size of the system.
Open the folder of clockwork mod you downloaded and edit flash.cfg file with notepad and change system size to 150M .
That´s it
When you flash clock work mod???
As far as I can tell CWM just runs of my SD card (if I wipe the files off the SD card that are provided with the rom, it doesnt load CWM when I hold the power button then choose the number one option)
This is what I dont get, is CWM supposed to be permanently flashed to the nand as well, like the ROM is? And if it does just run off the SD, then why does it need a certain system size and what does this do?
Okay i think i have to write much now
Okay first you flash magldr (it´s the ´base´)
then you flash Clockwork Mod via USB Flasher option in magldr:
"For MAGLDR 1.13, booting from NAND:
Download the file attached
Download a partition layout incl. recovery from this thread which fits your ROM you want to use best and unzip it into "C:\recovery" for example
Copy over the recovery image file from inside the zip archive into this folder "C:\recovery", delete existing "recovery-raw.img" and rename copied image file to "recovery-raw.img"
Flash the recovery and partition layout using "DAF.exe" as usual and described in the thread of raiderx or the ROM provider
Boot Recovery with menu point "8. AD Recovery"
You're done"
Go here to get it :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987531
Before flashing it edit the flash.cfg file like i described it before ,then flash the .zip ROM..
Thanks for the detailed reply, so I'm gathering that this will install CWM onto my nand, but as I have the ROM running fine and don't really mind that CWM runs from the SD card, are there any benefits to doing this?? And will I lose some storage space on the phone if I do this?
you can use the sd version too
I suggest that when you change your ROM next time ,use the nand version with the right partition .
Hey guys,
My SDcard just gave up on me while I was installing a ROM
The problem now is, I have no SDcard available and no option to install another ROM, as I can't use CWM (that uses the SD card obviously)
Is there an easy way to create a DAF installer from a CWM .zip file?
Did you allready tried to format your sd card?
hey guys, how can I update a nand rom via sd port-a-droid? just unpack the .zip rom in root folder and reboot?
I'm not sure about how port-a-droid works, but I guess it creates a data.img for the 'Internal storage' right? If so, then just port the updated ROM and then copy over the data.img and all your data should be saved
is possible to flash something with CWM on SD android??
Would you mind rephrasing your question?
Do you mean dual-boot android NAND via CWM AND android sd ? Yes, you can.

no,i have android with sense 2.1 on SD card and i wanna to install sense 3 lockscreen and i need to install it via CWM but when i click reboot into ClockWork recovery mod when i do it phone restart and boot windows mobile and when i boot android again nothing happens
You cant use cwm in sd roms.The only thing you can do is to unzip the cwm file you want to use.Inside you will find a folder called meta-inf and some other folders called /system and other
In the folder you have sd rom you will make a folder named Root and inside it,you will copy the folders from cwm zip and then restart rom.
