[Q] How to calculate CWR ? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

First Im sorry my bad English !
I only have a Tmous HD2 but I dont know how to calculate the CWM for Leo512 (EX: system folder is 350mb) with my builds ?!
Some one help me about values of flash.cfg please ?
Thank you very much !!!

Whatever rom you want to use will typically tell you withon the first couple of posts in the rom thread. It really depends what rom you use what recovery size is needed. Bigger roms like ones with htc sense will need a bigger system partition.
If you use a larger system partition with a smaller rom, I think it'll still work, but will take space away from your data partition, which is particularly a big deal if you have a EU HD2, as they dont have as much nand memory as the TMOUS HD2.

If you can not find the size partition you need stated in the first few post by the ROM chef in the ROM thread. This is what I do, I click on the download and get it to start downloading or either let it finish downloading so I can see what sise the file is and then add at least another 25MB to 30 MB to that and tyhen go with the closest Recovery partition size to that or just go in and make the Recovery partition size what I need. But now that I I am using cLK and not MAGLDR I have ROM manager and don't have to worry about the partition size anymore.

Try posting your Q in the Coredroid ROM section, you will def get help there.....

your having problems because you didnt partition your phone with the correct partition size. use this thread to download the correct amount of 400mb and repartition it. you shouldn't have any problems after that.

It all depends on the version of phone. Go to the link I posted in post 2 and read the links. 390M partition is for TMOUS, there is a smaller partition (plus EXT on sdcard) for EU, I believe.
You right it does depend but if he partitioned with 350 and the ROM called for 400 then it's "relatively" safe to think he didn't give enough space when he partitioned his phone. That is depending on the phone of course.

[Q] HTC BLISS - WWE SENSE 3.5 FOR HD2 [v1.1]

Hello everybody
I have to post here because I can't in NAND development...
This is a general question, but I post the title of the Bliss sense 3.5 rom because I actually have this...
This is a great rom , but I have 2 problems with my EU 512mb HD2...
The first, and very important, is the room left... Looking with Apps2sdgui those are my general info:
internal memory free(total): 25mb(206mb)
sd-ext free(total): 1392mb(1830mb)
cache free(total): 25mb(206mb)
So, what can I exactly delete using root explorer? Can you explain me please what exactly apps2sdgui does? I haven't understood its function, because my internal memory is full though Apps2sdgui says "apps are on SD"...
The second is the available ram... I have max 60/70mb free, according to Apps2sdgui... Sometimes, when switch from an app to another, I see the white screen with the htc green word in the middle for a 10-15 seconds... What can I do to make my phone faster and more fluid?
You do not have to delete anything using root explorer, and your apps seems to be in your SD card's EXT partition. Your cache seems poetry high though- not much you can do without backing up, repartitioning and restoring.
The free memory seems ok, though not great. Sense 3.5 builds are still being developed and are not stable yet. The HTC logo that flashes by is your Android rebooting.
If you prefer stability, choose an AOSP or CM7 build...

Stuck on Quitely briliant screen
Hi
I have tried flashing this rom through CLW and everything goes well until the device reboots. it gets stuck on the Quietly brilliant screen. I left it run for 30 minutes with no luck of actually booting the system.
I have noticed when i pull my battery out and mount the device nothing is created on the SD card (no folders or files).
I have a 3 GB SD card and I have partitioned it through AD recovery with 2GB and 0 swap EXT partition.
I flashed MYUI again since i was using it before but i would really like to try your Sense Rom on my HD2 (T-Mobile).
Am I missing something? I have to say that I also tried using other Sense Roms and got the same problem. stuck on the HTC green screen or the Quietly brilliant screen and my system never loads!
Thanks for you help and keep up the good work.

Hey,
Thanks for the reply. I am not really sure I have done CWR partition. All I have done is SD partition to 2GB and 0 swap since I have always used MIUI Roms on my HD2 and before I had WM7 and stock Roms.
If CWR partition is needed for this rom how do u do that?
Thanks

Because this ROM very big so it need use many NAND space and SD-EXT Partition to store sytem and app.
App was moved to EXT partition but Dalvik cache still on NAND so you can move Dalvik cache to EXT to save more Internal memory (when you move Dalvik to EXT, you will have about 150-200 Mb free on NAND)

Ok, as I thought, you didn't
If you already have magldr, this is what you have to do:
1. flash recovery. this is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?f81pamq6fbjmtw5
(I've found this link here in the forum)
download it, then you have to modify this file: flash.cfg
you have to open it with notepad, but put an eye on NOT change permanently the extension ( it's .cfg, have to be .cfg)
once you opened it, you have to modify like that:
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 440M
cache ya 5M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
-my english is not very good, if you don't understand PLEASE tell me and I'll explain it again-
save the changes, then go to magldr menu, connect phone to pc, search in your phone in magldr menu "usb flasher", run DAF.exe in recovery folder on pc, follow the guide. Your phone will reboot and go to magldr menu.
Choose "ad recovery".
2.wipe full data, and dalvik cache
3. flash rom: in ad recovery, choose "install zip from sd card", and select your rom
4. reboot
If someting goes wrong, please tell me

You're welcome ( is this the way to say this?)
Yes of course, you can always change rom
If you want to change to miui, cm7 and so on, you only have to change cwr version to v3.0.2.5 or else ( it's written in rom thread )...
if you want to change recovery partition, you only have to use notepad again and run daf.exe again... I think it's quite simple...
Please tell me the result

Just tried it. It looks amazing and exactly as I expected.
Only one thing that I don't like is that it is very choppy! as in when u click on something it takes few seconds to load or when u switch screens there is a lag or a drag as if there is not enough memory to run the command.
Anyway we can tweak the settings of the recovery to make it faster?
thanks again for all your help

Yes, I experience it too... If you read my whole thread, I asked for some solution, but I think there aren't... Sense-based roms are slowlier than non-sense, hd2's hardware is perhaps a bit too old, but this is only my opinion... Have you read the thread in Nand development? I've tried some sense 3.0 rom, but I can say with no doubt this is the fastest...
This is the 1.1 release, next update will probably be better in speed... And I hope in camera and bluetooth fix as soon as possible... I'm pretty satisfied, for maximum sense experience, I think we should buy sensation, evo or other younger htc
You can try deleting some apps, if you don't use them, and look at task manager, it helps you stopping background apps, that can free ram memory...
Which kernel do you use? Most of people wrote in rom thread in nand development that jw-tytung is faster, and I confirm... All these things will help you, this is my opinion...
Hey there,
i'm using the HTC Bliss Rom for 2 days now and i think it's really great, but i have one problem, and it is significant. Everytime the display goes in standby-mode the connection gets lost. Even when i call somebody and put the phone to my ear, the connection breaks up immediately when the display turns itself off.
I really want to keep this rom, so please can somebody help me

CWR stands for ClockWork Recovery, it's a custom recovery for Android phones. When you download it, there will be a file called flash.config
You have to edit that file to make it flash a 150 Mb system partition to your phone's internal memory.
Or go the much easier route an do a forum search for HD2 NAND Toolkit
It will make things much easier in terms of flashing HSPL, CWM, and pretty much everything else you need to do to get Android running on your HD2
I highly suggest reading the sticky threads in the HD2 NAND Android forum, you're gonna want to know as much as you possibly can before messing around with stuff. You don't want an expensive paperweight, and you don't want to spend extra time correcting a mistake that could've been avoided with a little reading.
Basically you will need:
HSPL
A X.XX.50.XX radio
MAGLDR or clk
CWM with partition layout of correct size for the rom you intend to flash
ext2/3/4 are just a different type of file sytems used by the Linux platform. Use ext3 for your sd card's partition.
You can use CWM to partition your SD card, backup the contents of your card before you partition it.

Any rom you would recommend to me with an easy to follow guide?
I have an Eu htc hd2 btw
I posted this in your other thread but in case you miss it: try this guide. I found it pretty self-explanatory.
The ROM in my sig is pretty old, but it's absolutely the ****.
I don't know for sure if it's still posted here on XDA, if you'd like to try it, I s'pose I could upload it to a filesharing site.
I would definitely recommend CyanogenMod, try this one:

[Q] Stuck on bootscreen new nand rom

Today I was updating my android rom (one of the first nands) and I've updated magldr and installed CWM.
Then I installed a new rom with CWM and after reboot he keeps showing the bootscreen of the rom, I've tried another rom and it's the same...
Can anybody help me?
The most common reason for being stuck at bootscreen is improper partition size. You sure you got that right?
I've taken the largest partition size (400mb)...
you don't take the largest, but rather the most suitable. (or the one stated in the rom's thread) you should also take into consideration whether the rom NEEDS sd-ext or not.
What rom do you want to use/upgrade?
Have you met the requirements? (sd-ext/system partition/cache/radio)
I've a EU 512mb HTC HD2. I don't know my rom anymore that I used but I think its a darkforce froyo rom...
I've parted my sd with cwm: 1024ext, 64mb swap and used the 400mb CWM
Now I want to install the Runnymede 3.5 or the Desire HD 3.06.405.1 - Sense 3.0 - Android 2.3.5 [v1.4][RAFPIGNA 1.9GB], i don't know which one is better...
link to those roms please?

okay for the first one (runnymede) you need 6/200/8. that means 200mb system partition, 6 boot partition and 8 cache partition. AND A 1GB SD-EXT
And for the second one you need 5/155/5. which means 155mb system partition and 5 megs for both cache and boot. AND YOU NEED 1GB SD-EXT.
Neither of these ROMs will run under a 400mb system partition ~!
And remember, always wash your hands and wipe your phone/sd before attempting another rom

If you're using the old method, then look for a file called config.cfg, edit that using any file editor.
But if you're using the NAND Toolkit, you can edit them by selecting the desired partition from the panels on the left or the right, depending on your bootloader, and the cache is just right below those panels.

I don't see why you would need a larger partition but an easy solution is to go to the HD2 CWM thread and download the latest version, then within the downloaded folder open the file flash.cfg (not flash.cfg.txt) and change the system partition to your desired size, then flash through daf.exe

to explain, in case you didn't realise, , making the system partition bigger than that rom requires is pointless, since the system doesn't store anything in the system partition, except the system. The data partition (and sd-ext of in use) is where all your apps and data get installed. If you make your system partition 100mb bigger, for example, your internal storage will actually go down by 100meg.
When you partition, the data partition is set to 'allsize', meaning it will take up however much space is left after the boot/cache/recovery partitions are created.
When you look at the available internal storage space in settings, it ONLY shows you the space in your data partition, nothing else, which is why it will never show 1024mb, more like 800mb for a cm rom, or 550mb for a sense rom.
thanks
thanks for the info.. sorry for the delay in the reply
