[Q] NAND for 1024 v 512 leo - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I have a Leo 1024 and am trying to figure out which roms I can use. I know the rule of thumb is to not use a Rom unless it specifically says it's ok for your device, but I've found that many threads don't mention anything about which version of the phone it is compatible with.
So, should I assume that if it doesn't explicitly state a Rom is only for a 512 Leo, it will work fine on my device? If I did install one, like a cyanogen mod, what would the drawbacks be? Would I just not be able to use the extra space on my device?
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

That rule is for Windows Mobile 6.5 ROMs, not Android. As long as you have flashed MAGLDR (and preferably Clockwork Recovery too) , you can use any nand Android ROM you want, just follow the installation instructions in the particular ROM's thread.
-HD2 Android-

Thanks for the help. So I won't kill my phone by doing it, but will I lose out on any space if I use one made for a 512 as opposed to one optimized for a 1024? Or am I just making stuff up here?

That depends on the size of the build. Some of the early roms made for the 512 device were squashed and had apps removed etc. In this case you will have plenty of internal memory to install from the market.
The more recent Desire HD based builds are now no longer squashed, so in order to still fit on the 512 device data and apps are moved to partitions on the sd card. For the 1024 device you however don't need the sd card partitions and you will use more of your 1024 device's internal memory.

To expand on that, my understanding is you can use any ROM on the 1024, it's only if you have a 512 phone that you need to take more consideration.
If you take the 512 route, you'll be formatting your SD card into new partitions etc, which is pointless if you have a 1024 phone as you'll just be straining your memory card/battery-life for no reason.

Correct

how to find out if my phone is a 512 one or a 1024 one ??
plz help....

I had tried this too, actually this is wipping the space totally, but i feel my internal memory got partitioned i guess,i need to remove whole partitions inside and create a new one.
So are there any tools for working on partitions, please please help me.
brothers please give me a solution, hope some where there will be a tool for this. It will help me lot in getting my internal memory. Please provide me your valuable suggestions

Thanks for you reply RayHeath, yes right now i flashed with the factory rom.
First i wiped everything by task29, then i flashed with the factory rom tracked by my serial number.
Even thoug Only 162.42 MB i can see in Total storage, if you have the same device can you please check with yours how much its showing please.
Imp note : in settings --> about phone ---> hardware information , i can see RAM SIZE : 576MB & FLASH MEMORY SIZE : 512 MB
ARE THE VALUES CORRECT
when you perform task29 you have to flash magldr again, did you think about that?
I think with task29 also partitions will be deleted...when you are able to install stock winmo rom you must be able to flash any other rom. At least mdjs cm7 should work when you try an android rom because it uses less memory than winmo.

First thanks for your reply, Task29 wil not remove partitions, it wil wipe fully thats what i can conclude after my 2 days of investigation, the harware information which shows the values as 576 MB & 512 MB are fine. even i agree with you, as it is giving the values of hardware present on phone.
can you give me once your values @ settings ---> SD Card & Phone Storage please, then i can explain you more clear.
My values : Total Storage : 162.42 MB Urs :
Total Program : 208.20 MB Urs:
If any one have the same model with 512MB please provide me the inputs, usefull for investigation

I think you have to add these two (Storage and Programm) because winmo seperates?! Please, correct me if I'm wrong^^
I can tell but it would be useless because I'm using Android w/ data2ext
btw: I'd wp7 on my device 3 times and I always could get back to Winmo, Android or whatever. Maybe you should try to install magldr 1.13 and cwm 400mb. I don't think that your nand has gone

You are right. Task29 does wipe everything. He was having problems with his internal storage.
Naughty, first he´s right, you should now flash the MAGldr 1.13. Then choose an Android NAND Rom from whoever you want. Most of the cooks have included the CWM already with the right size. It would definately be easier for you using one of them. I personally use CorDroid. It´s fast and used doesn´t use that much of the internal space on the HD2. And a lot of eye candy. And again very very FAST. Okay?

Yes, those values are ROM and RAM... the ROM, or internal storage seems right, I think, because a lot of the internal storage is taken up by the operating system. The RAM seems a little low, though. Some of the RAM isn't shown because it is used by system and radio, but you should still have a total of 300 or more, I think. I can't remember what the numbers are suppose to be exactly. Try asking in WinMo section what their numbers are for the totals.
What WM rom did you flash? I have heard there's a problem with build 3.14 and HSPL, I think if I remember right. If that's the stock rom you flashed, you should probably try a different stock ROM or just task 29 and go directly to MAGLDR and whatever android or wp7 rom you want.

thanks for your reply, i just dropped in Winmo and waiting for inputs....
I Flashed with 3.14.707.3 (04666) WWE, before this itself i had problem with it. I am not remembering , i tried for "DL.DesireZ.v3.4.final.nand" and also "Motoman234_MyTouch4G_V3.1_DAF" after WP7... from here i am seeing this problem.
Before WP7, i loaded "Motoman234_MyTouch4G_V3.1_DAF" just for review and it worked fine, but now due to less phone memory after flashing HTC SENSE itself is not loading "its force closing" nothing i can do just loop of this force close. So i concluded that there was some partition operation went accidentally, and now there is only 162.42 MB partition available for phone memory to use totally.
Are there any tool to work on phone memory partitions..??? i tried task29, clockwork recovery where i went for advance & wipe options too.

Okay, try the CoreDroid Rom. All of the apps will be installed automatically on sd card and you don´t need to worry about you internal memory. Here´s the link. By the way please read!

Hippeee....Hurrrraayyyy....!!!
Total Program came to 336.17 MB, i removed HSPL and i got this.
But sir still i have one doubt, Now My RAM Size is showing 448MB, where before i had saw it as 576MB. How come suddenly it had been decreased. any idea...what should be the exact value of RAM Size should be in harware information...??
FYI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11286863&postcount=6
Stock rom doesn't let the users use the full 576 ram. It will save some for the system.

[Q] Phonememory.

Hello.
To begin with, I am new to this.
I tested the Android builds "DFT_Nand..." for a long time now but only on the memory card but not until now tested sharply into the phone.
I have problems with lack of space in my HD2. It has 512 MB ​​internal memory and a 16 gigabyte memory card. I have now installed the Android and discovered that I only see 125 mb of phone. Is there a way to expand patitionen?
so it is possible to utilize all available space. When installing software from the marketplace so you can move most things to the memory card but not all.
Grateful for answers.
Otherwise the phone works absolutely great with this build.

This needs to go in the Q&A forum, not the development forum.

Yea but i am already run appmonster and i run all apps from sdcard and still i only get 14mb Free and still want to use all phonememory that is avalible.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
ap2sd, data2ext is different
Try the ROM in my sig. 320mb of free storage after you freed up 24mb from magldr.
with data2ext you make an ext2/3/4 partion on your sd card and the phone shows it as phone memory,but it depend on the ROM if it uses data2ext or sometimes you can choose it in a configfile. so just try another rom, my favorite is coredroid, a Desire HD ROM but very fast and with widgets in the notification bar like Galaxy S
Just to make this clear. By internal storage, they mean the ROM of your device. So that means you have 512 ROM. And ROM is the space for where the OS/bootloader, radio, apps, get installed.
Therefore when you say there is only 125 mb space free, that means that the android rom you just installed & bootloader took up the 387mb ROM you so claim to be missing. So is anything wrong with your device? Conclusion: No. Solutions? The people above have given them.
In my phone, when i run appmonster it says:
Phone 114,00MB / 24,05 MB Apps: 49
SD 14,83 / 6,93 GB
Maybe i missunderstand but the phone complain against my phone-storage.
ap2sd, data2ext is different
Installed coredroid and now i dont have any problems with space
Didnt know what the problem was so i reeinstalled another version of Android and it seems to work nice, it is very very fast.
Thanx for all your help.

[Q] What is my HD2?

How do i know if my HD2 is the leo 1024 or 512 or Tmous?
If it's a tmous version. it will have a T-mobile logo on top of the screen and a green button for picking up call and red button for hanging up. also, 1024 is the same as tmous
All TMous are 1024
Can you get 1024s on O2 UK, cos I'm running android off SD card, and need to store apps on the phone storage, and it says I have 1gb internal memory? I'm slightly confused, cos it says this in Winmo as well
O2 use the EU 512's
The apps that only run from phone memory need to be installed there, but use app 2 sd to move the apps that will work on the sd card

Like post #2 said if you have a red end/power button and a green send/call button and have T-Mobile in silver at the top of the device right under th ear speacker. Then you have a TMOUS HD2. Also if you had 1024MB in the ROM flash,memory in Settings>About Phone>Hardware Information in Windows Mobile you have a TMOUS.
Where exactly are you lookin at in the settings while in Android to see 1GB of memory? I have a TMOUS and I am running Android from NAND and I only see 411MB of Memory on mime.
I think the OP means he has 1gb memory but i assume means that the data image file within thr android sd build is 1gb .img. This i assume is what is used to store all the apps and.data when running android from SD card (1gb = loads of android storage) If i am correct then the oeiginal 448mb that is reserved for stock winmo and can only be used while booted un winmo...ie...is untouched when running android from the sd card...I Think!

Dang how did I miss the fact he was talking about a SD card build, crap must have been off in la la land when I read that post.
How come when you run Magdlr cwm zips you have a limited amount of memory compared to a sd android build. i thought the tmous had 1gb memory?
Sorry, My bad...my post wasnt in reference to the OPs original question but was instead referencing Nigeldk post
Slightly confused tho as to how or why you can see 1gb internal memory in winmo. are you maybe seeing 1gb avialable storage on your memory sd card while in winmo? Since im sure my EU hd2 only shows 448mb "intenal storage" but in reality only has around 199mb avialable for actual personal programme/media storage. I assume the remainder of the 448mb is given to the actual winmo system apps/files. Dont take my word for it tho as im pretty new to the hd2 and still working things out
MAGLDR had to be compatible with all HD2's that ment that the size was limited to 512MB since only the US tmobile HD2 has the 1G nand.. so what ever you put magldr only wrights to about 512MB
(so ive heard, and makes sense) feel free to correct me

You are correct the DFT had to make MAGLDR compatible with all HD2's. Being that the TMOUS has 1024MB of ROM and the EU HD2's has 512MB of ROM. but I do not think it is limited to 512MB of ROM cause if that was the case you would not have separate ROM downloads for EU HD2's and TMOUS HD2's.
I do know though that MAGLDR was made to work with the TMOUS's 576MB of RAM just like the TMOUS Win Mo ROMs. This is why you have to have a 2.07.50.xx or higher radio with MAGLDR and also why MAGLDR unlocks the extra 128MB of RAM in the EU HD2's
I was probably looking at the wrong thing. It says 576mb in actual fact, which makes more sense. Thank you so much for your help

Hd2 nand unlock

Will there be any chance of someone unlocking the full 1 gig on T-Mobile us version?
sent from bigfdaddy
It is already unlocked, it also depends on what you mean by "unlock" .
If you mean on Windows Phone 7. There is no current way to do that, and I doubt that there will be any . Because WP7 uses the SD-card as internal Storage so it is doubtful that it'll use both NAND and SD. In Android, it is unlocked and Tmo users get more space after they flash an android ROM.
Well when u install any rom on you're nand using mgldr or clk it only uses 512 of you're nand.my question is anyone developing or going to use the full 1 gig on our T-Mobile us version....
sent from bigfdaddy
Most roms have the tmous option what uses the full 1024mb....
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Mgldr doesn't allow use of the full 1024 as they stated it set at 512 since it works for both T-Mobile us and euro HD....but I wonder if clk uses full 1024 and if so then y have to sd-ext, or ap2sd...
sent from bigfdaddy
I have the same question as OP do. When you repartition NAND for MGLDR or CLK the biggest option are 400MB and 450 MB respectively. That will left about 500MB unused for TMOUS1024, is there some way to use all available space for TMOUS1024 ?
When you partition 400/450, that space is used by the rom, the remaining space on the tmous will be used for internal storage

That's not true,
tmous ROMs have full use of 1gb ROM, that's why you don't have to have sdext like you do in some eu roms.
Ok well it was just my understanding that magldr only uses 512 and same with clk....I've been hearing about bad Nan blocks caused by constant flashing on basically half our nand....also if this was the case why do we need to have android files installed on the SD card y not all internally like a true android phone?

Ok but u say the rest is used for apps Wich isn't true for example the desire hd and sense 3.0 rom size is 420mb give or take it.that means for us tmobile us users it would leave almost 500mb left in nand.....so if u have almost 500 MB left their would be no need for ap2sd or sd-ext as a must....instead it shows nand being almost full after installing...

I am not sure you understand how it works. Of course you can install Android on NAND - there is a whole separate section dedicated to NAND only. You also have an option of installing to SD, in case you might want to run 2 OS and alternate between them. I have Android NAND installed and must say, it runs as if it always belonged. And you do get to install everything in NAND, most of my apps are installed that way, I will only move something if I will start running out of space, but the way it is, I still have a while to go...
TMOUS uses 1024 to store BOTH, your NAND install, should you choose to go that way, AND your programs, just select the ROM compatible with TMOUS. It's not like you get NAND partitioned to waste the remaining 512Mb.

that's not true, go ahead and take out your SD card and boot up android NAND, it will run just fine. On ANY android phone, it saves some files/folders on SD on boot to utilize, not just the HD2,
But to run Android it does not need any files on SD. With CWM flashes over cLK, it basically is a "true" android device.

I took my regular card out last week and replaced it with one where I have movies only, a whole collection of just movies. And... nothing happened. The phone will create folders for additional storage, depending on setup, most likely, but it's not imperative to have the card to run Android off NAND. You install off SD originally, so will have Android installation files on it to begin with, once installed - swap cards, do whatever.
It will be another story if you had some apps moved to SD for whatever reasons of your own, then sure, you will need to have your card in to run those apps. If you have wallpapers stored on SD - same thing. But if you install Android to NAND, your entire NAND will be used without any not being available to you or partitioned in a way that will 'lock' half of available internal memory, which is what your original question was about. I have 479Mb of internal memory listed as available and none on SD. When I install anything to my phone it is installed to internal memory. The only things that needed my SD memory to be available were books.

[Q] Low internal memory, no keyboard, no market

Hey folks,
i set up my HTC HD2 with this Android (Coredroid 1.7) Version. Now i got at least one problem.
As i tried to start my phone, he said he's got too less internal memory (~ 576 KB). And that's where my problem(s) start(s). It's not possible for me to sign up for the MarketPlace, because i don't have a keyboard popped up (I guess because of too less memory - the set up of the phone (at the first start) also aborts when i try to type with the keyboard). My idea was to install App2SD to get some apps from internal memory to my SD Partition. But as I just said, i can not connect to the market. It's a vicious circle, seems at least like this to me.
I also read it could be a problem of a too big data.img, but actually I did not use my mobile at all so the data.img should be nearly virgin.
Would be nice if somebody got an idea, already asked in other (german) forums but just got the tip to install a "smaller" rom, but i would like to try CoreDroid (which should work for HTC Leo/HD2).
Best Regards
What size cwm partitions are you using?

Do you mean the ext3 Partition on the SD-Card? I configured it with 1024MB, The Fat32 should be ~3GB. Hopefully this wasnt such a nooby answer
No, he means size of the Clockworkmod / a.k.a. system partition that your ROM requires... it's ROM specific...
But as I recall, coredroid has a somewhat odd way of installing it, it does this automatically...
Don't know what's up with your phone :/ , you can try another ROM (like TyphoonS) that has a step by step clean install instruction...
Ok, got it. But as you said, i used the flash.cfg from the Coredroid_1.7_Instructions.zip, extraced it together with the DAF.exe in the same folder and flashed Coredroid with the DAF.exe. Perhaps i try to adress another size than 390 MB or just try to flash CoreDroid once again, but this has to work . Got the used HTC HD2 since 2 Weeks and it never really worked yet
...just read a little bit more:
EU HD2s got 512MB RAM. Therefore CoreDroid, as a ROM which needs 390MB system space, should not work properly because there is too less space left. Is this right? Am I able to change the value for "system ya" in a certain range or does the ROM just work properly with nonEU/HDs with more internal space? Otherwise im going to try the JW MIUI 1.9.2 Rom...
