hello, i hope my thread didnt post somewhere else.
so, i am using hs2 and i installed android 2.2 yesterday and i installed 8 apps on it. everything is working perfect until i installed google eath. i run it and it says that i dont have enough space and it close.. i also remove many apps and i only have 50mb internal memory only. how do i clean android because i wanna install more apps soon!
also how many mb internal memory hd2 has?
is android installed on internal memory of my hd2 thats why its running low now??
thanks i hope to get what am looking for
USA T-Mobile HD2 - 1024MB ROM
Everywhere else - 512MB ROM
Which NAND build are you using? Perhaps it supports A2SD, A2SD+, data2ext, data2sd, if it does one of those, partitioning your MicroSD card and formatting the partition in ext2/ext3/ext4 will give you more space to install applications.

wait wait wait i bought hd2 at 14/1 and i put android at 13/1 so am sooo noob on these what A2SD, A2SD+, data2ext, data2sd are?
how do i partition my sd? how do i format to ext...
i got 512rom btw uk one
thanks
This is the downside of using NAND rom, the internal memory is very low. My phone is showing about 120 MB available and still I permanent have the icon telling me low disk space.
So there is a solution and that is to partition the sd card? Are there any instructions for this available so it becames part of the OS?. I have searched but could not seem to find the proper thread.
BTW I am using the "desire stock rom":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893620
Have a look at this one. Especially the instructions.
Or search the NAND Forum Titles for App2SD, Data2EXT, ext4, data.img or something like that.

I am not going to explain what it is, but instead, I am gonna tell you what to look at. When choosing a ROM.
Example1:
[15 JAN] -=MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.4 [A2SD+][GRH78][RMNET][Kernel: MDJ S10.4 OC]
See the wonderful [A2SD+] that means it uses A2SD+
Example2:
[16 JAN][DAF][ZIP] RAFDROID HD 2.2 [DATA2EXT][Kern:MDJ 10.3][RMNET][UPDATED!]
This uses data2ext
Example3:
[30 DEC][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM
This doesn't use anything, so you are screwed... you run out of space, that's it, SCREWED.
I highly recommend that you read this, and understand what it says.
[10 JAN][RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for HD2 - v1.2
Because Clockwork makes things really easy for noobs, if you want to call yourself that. It is also used in every Android Devices that I know of, including the Real HTC DesireHD, Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Nexus S, HTC Desire, and many more. HD2 users prefer people to do everything for them and package everything neatly, then complain about having to wipe everything away each update.
** [GUIDE] How to format SD-Card to EXT 3 **
bakskj, so yah, you have 120MB left. So unless you know how to put A2SD, A2SD+ or data2sd or data2ext into the ROM you are using now, pretty much, use that 120MB sparingly, that's all you will have.

amazing post . bit i use LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM so am SCREWED . do i have to install NEW ROM ? and start downloading apss from the bigging? if yes what rom is the best ?xda-developers - Reply to Topic or RAFDROID HD 2.2 ?
whats the difference between these 3 roms? more available internal space?
thankss
Urm, it's hard to say what is the best. I guess look at the screen shot and choose the one that looks the most pleasing?
But you know what, now that you are starting again,
[10 JAN][RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for HD2 - v1.2
READ THAT... USE THAT...
Then choose a ROM that says CLOCKWORK
-=DOWNLOAD v. 2.4 A2SD+ NAND Clockwork Mod=-
Like that. This way, if you have a small little fix, you don't have to reflash the whole rom, some nice guy/girl might already post up the fix in a nice zip file that you can use clockwork to install.

flashed on nand the original desire android on my hd2. its 2.2ver and i cant save app on sd card. the other 2 ver are 2.3 android right? the last one?
PLEASE NOTE:
There are down sides to using app2sd and data on sd.... Namely you cannot mount the SD Card via usb.
The single best option for having a stable, low maintenance build is projections Stock desire, which has some squashing to reduce the space. HD builds are all flawed for 512mb users because of the size. You either have no space, or you cannot mount your sd card.
Based on that I would always go for a stock desire/evo based build, which give full functionality, but with ~180mb free space. Everybody is so quick to ask for data on sd.... but the corruption factor that is still there, combined with the inability to mount the drive, makes it a no go for many people who are starting out, and will be back on here in a few days asking why they are getting force closes, or why they cannot access SD card via usb.

First off thanks for the informative replies. I think I'm gonna go for a partitioned one because more space is essential for me.
What i do want to know is. Is there a fix for those eventual crashes and what not? And if they are really to annoying. Because nothing beats stability.
Hi all. Please forgive the noob questions.
Question #1. I was under the impression that CWR is better than DAF because it allows you to have different ROMS on your sd card and thus you can change your ROM as you like. My question is then if I have to task 29 and reformat and repartition my card as the developers request, then how is this possible as I would be wiping my sd card clean everytime I do this.
Question #2. Must I run the DAF(recovery) prior to every change in ROM? Also what is the differecnce between the Recovery and partitioning your card. Again I am not experienced even though I flash all the time.
The reason I ask is that I would like to change ROMS and wonder if I can just go from my cureent ROM, reboot and install from zip a totally different one that I have on my card. Thanks in advance.
you dont have to task29 every time., i have never used task29 and never had any issues with repationing or installing roms
the repartitionining is a pain but thats mainly only if you are going from 1 type to a different type e.g a sense rom to a cm7 or miui rom

Hi,
As Richy99 says ,task 29 is not necessary for every change of ROM.
To simplify matters, ksubedi has developed THIS TOOL (Don't forget to thank him)

So I can just repartition the card and not have to run Recovery(DAF in the rar)? Then istall from zip? I am going from a sense to MUI.

Hi,
You only need to partition the sd card once.
But the ROM system needs its own partition(CWM).
This partition is dependent on the ROM .
The [OP] should give the size of the partition,depending also on EU or TMOUS phones.
Again,once you know the partition size,use THIS TOOL to make it easy.

Thanks again for helping out. So I would need a comp to always run the recovery. Is it possible from the phone itself or am I just hoping and dreaming? You did clear up one thing for though. That both the card and rom need a partition with the ROM partition being the recovery file (DAF)in the rar.. Thanks.

Hey guys I am in!!. After a long search I managed to get an hd2 ... and I am getting used to it. The first thing I do is I put magldr 1.13, cement 3.xxx, then put latest miui rom ( man I have never seen such an eyecady android ever).
Since I am a newbee to hd2, pls help me with some doubts
1) can I instal wp7 and any android to nand at the same time? Or I have to keep Andy in SD inorder 2 dual boot?
2) can I use supercharger script. Also pls help me to add tweeks to hd2( like scripts, mods, etc) .pls post some links 2 those.
3) where are the latest radios? I managed 2 find only one.
4) does chrot work on hd2, I have read about it in LG optimus2x forum. And I am interested in installing backtrack in hd2.
5) magldr always boot into the os directly, and hence I can't go to cwm from any app, nor can't flash zips using rom manager. For that I always have 2 go2 adrecovery from magldr menu, which takes me into cwm. And I am not sure if cwm is in nand or SD. Pls clear it to me.
6) what is about partitioning? Various roms require various sizes, and it confuses me. I can't install nexus HD rom( android 4. Ported 2 hd2). It installs and don't boot at all. Where I can instal miui which I am using now.
7) which one is better magldr or clk? What are the differences?
Pls help me...
Thankz in advance .

let me get a crack at this lol.
1. i believe only one os can be on nand only, ive seen people boot nand wp7 and android sd
2. i use the supercharger script which is great and use option 9, its in the android hacking forum.
3. the only radio you should probably be concerned and using (since there tested for compatibality lol ) is the 2.x.50.x radio ( preferably 2.15.50 for android)
4.never heard of chrot lol. sorry
5. rom manager now supports the hd2 and recovery is in nand.
6. some roms require different system partions to run correctly so there is ample wiggle room for the os to run smooth and butter.
7. there both great bootloaders, i wont state whats better, but i use magdlr since its the first one i used, and i really liked it and have gotten accustomed to it.
hope i answered your questions man and good luck!
i'm gonna try to answer too!

with stock EVERYTHING, only WM6.5 can be in the NAND. MAGLDR supports only ONE OS in NAND at a time (either Android or WP7). so the other OS can be on sd card only. and the only OSes one can boot from sd card are Android and Ubuntu.
the above paragraph should help you determine all the possible combinations.
2) can I use supercharger script. Also pls help me to add tweeks to hd2( like scripts, mods, etc) .pls post some links 2 those.

honestly, most of the custom ROMs here are already tweaked enough to my liking. for some tweaks, you can use apps like "spare parts+" and "rom toolkit" etc. the rest is all customizations:
1. skins - if using a cyanogenmod Android, then theme switcher is built in. if using an HTC Sense Android, then theme switcher is already built in. most "simpler" ROMs may require a lot of work on your part to tweak the look n feel.
2. wallpapers - easy! changing wallpapers is built into all Android ROMs
3. ringtones & alerts - easy! changing these is built into all Android ROMs
4. apps - go to the market place (on Android or WP7) and download whatever you want!
and so on...

are you talking about the "chroot" command in linux? i just tried to run it in my Android's terminal emulator and it works. if you are talking about a way to grant root access to applications that request it on Android, then yes again. most custom Android ROMs here are already "rooted".
5) magldr always boot into the os directly, and hence I can't go to cwm from any app, nor can't flash zips using rom manager. For that I always have 2 go2 adrecovery from magldr menu, which takes me into cwm. And I am not sure if cwm is in nand or SD. Pls clear it to me.

isn't it nice that MAGLDR boots into your default ROM automatically? to access the MAGLDR menu, reboot the device, and hold down the power/endcall button until the MAGLDR menu comes up.
CWM is in the NAND (these days), but CAN be on the sd card if you want. it takes less than 5MB of your NAND. this will be more clear if you pay attention to the contents of "flash.cfg" when you are performing the MAGLDR partitioning using "DAF.exe" on your desktop.
6) what is about partitioning? Various roms require various sizes, and it confuses me. I can't install nexus HD rom( android 4. Ported 2 hd2). It installs and don't boot at all. Where I can instal miui which I am using now.

there are two kinds of partitioning we discuss on xda:
1. NAND partitioning - done with MAGLDR. a few MB for the recovery (CWM), followed by a big chunk of memory for the ROM itself, followed by a few MB for the cache, followed by a big chunk of memory for user data. most of the ROMs these days are "heavy", so they expect a partition size that can store the full ROM after unzipping, so the chunk remaining for the cache partition and the user data partition is sometimes barely enough. as a result, some Android ROMs now require an sd card partitioning (see next point) so that they can store part of the ROM in the NAND and the rest of it on the "sd-ext" partition (usually an ext3 or ext4 partition, among others).
2. SD Card partitioning - done via a desktop tool (like "minitool") or via CWM's menu options. the desktop tool will obviously give you a lot more flexibility when performing the partitioning but some ROMs seem to work best if your card is partitioned via CWM's menus. keep in mind that CWM will remove your existing FAT32 partition (so backup the data on the FAT32 partition!!!), then it will create all the partitions (including the FAT32 one) from scratch. typical partitioning is FAT32+1GB ext3 or FAT32+1GB ext4 or FAT32+1GB ext3+128MB linux swap, and so on...
7) which one is better magldr or clk? What are the differences?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
neither...you can search for a detailed comparison between the two. to summarize:
MAGLDR pros: supports WP7, dual booting (between NAND and sd card), detailed NAND partitioning, tetris!
MAGLDR cons: doesn't support PPP (a way to access your mobile network's data connection). only RMNET is supported (RMNET is another way to access the data connection, but slower than PPP). doesn't allow charging the device if completely powered OFF...need the WP7 or Android OS to boot up before it can charge the battery. finally, has an "ugly" screen that appears between the splashscreens on boot up.
CLK pros: supports PPP, allows charging the device when OFF, and doesn't interrupt the splashscreens on boot up.
CLK cons: works only to boot an Android ROM, cannot use CLK to boot WP7 or to dual boot. CLK is not 100% supported on some ROMs. most ROMs these days are "dual" but the experience may be less/more stable on the CLK version of the same ROM.
i believe neither MAGLDR nor CLK can pick the WIFI and Bluetooth MAC addresses from the NV-RAM of the device. the only mechanism i know to achieve this is to boot an sd card Android from within WM6.5...or to use an sd card Android whose kernel supports custom specification of MAC addresses from a config file on the sd card.
most Android kernels these days "generate" a unique WIFI MAC address and Bluetooth MAC address so that no two HD2s running these ROMs will have the same MAC address.
i'm not sure how the WP7 ROMs solve this problem...maybe Android is the only OS for the HD2 that has to "generate" MAC addresses.
Pls help me...

fantastic! haha. well done. indepth as well sir
Yap, i got the points. But dudes i am a previous owner of wildfire. So i know some of the things already. Such as sd partitioning. Tweeking using scripts etc. But i am new to nand partitioning. Is it like the one we do for wildfire ( allocating extra unused memory from rom partition to user partition so that user need not to move that much apps to sd. And ofcourse it will give u upto 150mb extra memory for user data).
I am not asking about root. Itz chroot. Its the linux command from terminal to mound other linux os like backtrack etc. If it qorks, where can i find such an os?
Also about tweeks. It not the app or wallpaper stuff. Itz advanced user tweeks like installing bravia engine, beatz audio,kernal, rom, ram tweekz etc..
Also i want to know if i can get a custom cwm recovery which is highwr than 3.xxx, man wildfire is now reaching cwm 5+. Then why r we still in 3. Also my cwm dont wipes my battery log. What my be the prblm? I have cwm 3.xx( the latest offered by rommanager.

You can use option #5 USB flasher of MAGLDR. You have to use a DAF.exe to flash it. Go to this guide and read the section under "2. FLASH YOUR ANDROID ROM". Download the ROM in this thread, you can either just flash that ROM or you can just replace the ROM in the package with the ROM you want to flash. The DAF.exe is in the with the ROM I linked for you to download.
I had no idea about his method.. I had download many custom Android NAND Roms and all was a .zip file, that i could installed with CWR via sd card..
I will try to flash this way, right now.. Thanks again..
edit:
"you can either just flash that ROM or you can just replace the ROM in the package with the ROM you want to flash."
-How i can change the Rom in the package, with the one i want to flash?
I suppose that the Rom is the system.img file. But the one i want is a .zip file.

How did you know your SD card slot was broken? Did you try using other SD cards?
Sent from my T9193 using xda
it' s certainly broken.
the sd card doesn't snaps anymore..
i disassembly my hd2 and notice that some parts of the sd slot it's broken, so my sd card doesn't make contact with the pins to the motherboard..
A little off-topic question, how do you break an sd card slot ?
unfortunately, not that difficult..
I pressure it, more than it should be, so after that, i never heard again the sound of snaps..
after the disassembly, i found a pin of the slot broken..bad luck i suppose.. that's the end of story..
for now, i have install the LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM, as T-Macgnolia suggest me,
but i am missing the possibility to install and try any custom Roms for our beloved HD2..
i'm missing sense 3.5, i'm missing ics and many more..
so, in conclusion,
is there a way to flash ANY android Nand Rom from usb??
for now, i'm searching to find the way to change the Rom of the "Stock Desire" to the one i want..
anyone has a way to guide me?

Ok I finally had some time to look into this for you. As you said previously you have to replace the system.img and the boot.img of the ROM I linked for you to download with a system.img and boot.img of the ROM you want to flash.
Now to do this you have to convert the system folder in the .zip file of the ROM to a system.img and replace the boot.img with the boot.img in the ROM .zip file. Sadly though I have not yet found a proff positive guide on how to convert the system folder to a system.img.
This is what I have found out, to do it you will have to either be running Ubuntu or Linux on your computer, either naively or in a virtual machine. Or you can use Cygwin. The below are what somewhat specific references.

to create a new system.img, use genext2fs or e2fsimage in cygwin
to unpack system.img you may be able to use the rdump command of the 'debugfs' tool from e2fsprogs in cygwin
AFAIK there are also native windows tools to access ext2 filesystems.

You can also use yaffs to extract the system.img from a rom that is already on the device. Or get the sytemimg from a NANDroid backup. Now I know that is not really possible for you on your own. But it is what I have found in my search. Best advice I can give you is to take this information and hit up Google really hard. Hope this helps you some how.....
way too difficult procedure to do this!!!
I suppose that i must understand how to be a cook chef
and my knowledges is not so high level!!!
certainly, i will make a try.. i will read and read and read, after all Google is our best friend!

You have the right attitude about this and it is not has hard to learn as you thinnk. But to help you out even more check out this ROM you can install it the same way as the other ROM I linked for you. Also it may be time consuming but you can start looking through all the different ROM threads to find all the ROMs that are install able via USB like the first ROM I linked. It is more ROMMs like that use this method to install, but you will just have to find them. A little hint too, this is how Android ROMs were first installed before Clockwork Mod was created for the HD2.
is never a waste of time, to try to learn something new .. whether it resulted in something works or not..
thanks for all your hints T-Macgnolia..
edit:
is any chance to find a schematic diagram of the motherboard?
i could think a patent to read again my sd card..
or any aftermarket mini sd slot that will fit into the hd2 motherboard?
i would love to try to resoldered a new one, if i have a spare part of it..
i also looking for a motherboard board to buy, but i can find only Tmobile versions..
looking to get android on my htc hd2 first time with this phone.
no experience what so ever, any pointers or links would be greatly appreciated.
thank you very much

tried installing this rom above but stuck in loop comes to htc and then reboots by itself. any ideas on that ?
What's your /system partition size? Make sure it's enough for the ROM you're trying to flash. Since the other ROM you flashed worked I'm fairly sure it's not to do with radio or SPL version.

300mb over 45 mb . none of the roms worked that i tried to flash so far they are in bootloop. i think i have old recovery but how to update to new recovery ?
Do you have an EXT partition on your SD card as well? You'll need one of those if you don't. Also, flash a 285MB partition and change your cache size to 5MB, no ROMs use 45 as far as I know. Right now you're wasting 55MB of your internal storage because your partition sizes are too big.

i dont have a ext partition on my sd card. i did all that you said except ext partition but the rom wont load on top of that i dont know how to go back to complete stock as in windows by deleting magldr and everything else. plus how to update recovery from magldr ? some things im not able to understand even through guides its difficult.
No point going back to stock now. It really shouldn't be too tough provided that you read. I'd recommend using the toolkit:
1. Boot into MAGLDR
2. Choose 5. USB Flasher (or whatever number it is)
3. Run the Toolkit on your PC (you'll need admin rights)
4. Click MAGLDR Repartition and change the sizes to 285 and 5 cache
5. Connect your phone and flash
6. In CWM, go to advanced then partition SD card. Select a size you deem appropriate (I'd say 500MB or 1GB, ensure it's less than half the size of your SD)
7. Copy the .zip ROM to your SD card, preferably with a card reader
8. Flash in CWM
9. Reboot and see if it works
