First of all, I'm sorry if there is a thread similar to this, or with the same purpose. I'm opening this thread because I've tried almost every mod for LG GT540 and I don't know what to use anymore...
Been a long Cyanogen mod user, I've now changed to Super Fast Froyo and I find it really as it says SUPER FAST.
What I'm asking you is, if you can tell me what is the best mod for playing games the phone wasn't designed for (any 3D game), surfing (without force closes), and using the phone as a PHONE (calls, messages - without force closes)
I've tried OpenSwift (don't know what version) about 3 months ago.. and I was able to play games, but in that time the mod wasn't stable...
Also, Cyanogen 7 (2.3.3) and I wasn't able to play games.. though the phone worked smooth, with some force closes and few restarts..
I've searched lots of forums, but everywhere there are persons saying this is better than that and vise versa..
That's normal yea.. but got tired of that, and decided to open a thread here..
About the games not playing.. well I maybe am a beginner.. but I've tried everything I could..
Any help appreciated ..
Thanks.
Stay on a custom 2.1 rom it will solve all ur problems..
Use swap for speed.
Link sd for unlimited storage space.
Nothing is as stable as 2.1 version.

I agree with sanmit that everything works in 2.1 and for games is good. So you should stay in one of the many good custom versions out there. And check the other posts until devs cook something worth it to change again. Now mur4ik has released version 2.0. So will see how it goes and inform

I've decided to go with Elegance Swift 2.1, but I have a problem now... I can't flash it with Clockwork Recovery... it says "installation aborted"
I have wiped user data, phone, cache.. everything but it just doesn't work.. Is there a way to do this with fastboot? That's lots easier.. but I see a file called "data.img" here and don't know how to write that on phone
Thanks.
buya new phone?
just sayin, i dont think the gt540 is the best one for gaming. as its not capacitive screen. so you cant play mario or something smooth. but yeah as said above the stock 2.1 is the best. as i hav the SwiftDroid milestone1 V2.0 android 2.3.3 the battery dies too quick to play many games.
I don't want new phone lol
by the way... I found out how to install via Recovery.. but now my phone won't boot.. it's stuck on LG LOGO...
I can't post in developers threads.. and I can only ask here..
hi mate you need to flash both the recovery image and the boot image that should get your phone working again

Well.. I flashed clockwork recovery (if that's what you meen) and using CR i used the option restore to actually install the Elegance Swift 2.1 mod
do i have to flash the boot image after i did this with fastboot or?
EDIT
Did use fastboot for boot.img, still the same problem...
if you flashed via recovery then the boot.img should have been included in the backup so in what i will do is download the rom your tring to use and make a fresh backup and upload it for you
link me to the thread you downloaded the rom from

Wow.. thanks..
h* t p : // www . multiupload.com/WP41EZA5BO
this is what I used (with Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5 - i know that there is newer)
ok give me half an hour and ill get you a working version of this
uploading now for you i have included the easy flash tool
download this and put your phone in fastboot mode then run the start me.bat in the zip folder hopefully that should work

Thanks for the effort .. but I'm getting FAILED (data transfer failure (Too many links))
when trying to send system.img to phone
EDIT
I'm using XP SP3, does that changes anything? :\
EDIT 2
Can you just tell me how to do this with Clockwork?
to do it via recovery copy the zip file you and me downloaded to to the root of your sd card then go into recovery and select install update zip then select choose update zip and then select the zip file you copied to the root of the sd card

Thanks a lot for you time and help
no problem anytime
I think that CM7 is a lot better than 2.1 in many terms. (battery is worse, but it still lasts 2 days)
Use the stock 2.1 thats the best for your wishs...
Its the most useful...
i try everything but always back to stock or soft mod 2.1
Hi guys.
This is my first shot at installing a custom ROM (MIUI 1.7.8) on an HD2. I've done a couple of native Android devices with great success but this one is killing me.
I have followed the instructions listed on the english MIUI page and successfully installed HSPL3, magldr, and Clockwork recovery... but when I go to boot the phone is hits the HTC logo and won't go any further and when I tried installing 1.7.1 it would go the HTC logo and then reboot over and over again.
Obviously I have done something wrong so any advice would be most appreciated.
Thanx in advance!
Which MIUI rom are you using? And also most NAND installs take a little bit on the HTC logo at first and it feels like it isn't working but it actually is
Make sure partition size is correct when you flash cwm in
flash.cfg
The rom I am using I found here: forums.miui.us/content.php?12-ROM-Downloads
It sat on HTC for over 30 minutes so I'm pretty sure its stuck lol
As far as partioning... where excatly does that take place in the process or where do I change it at?
The instructions I used for the install are these:en.miui.com/a-52.html
Before you flash the rom you must do cwm partition.miui roms usually use 5-150-5 partition. It you are unfamiliar to this there is a tool by ksubedi at the first page of nand development
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
first you need to make sure you are using 150 MB recovery it can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
and I suggest you to download the MIUI 1.7.8 from miuiandroid.com and then download the language pack that comes with the rom. ( this is the version i am using now 1.7.8 beta )
and it will make a couple of restarts at the first boot it's normal and will take some time to first boot, so be patient.
Thanx!
I will give these a whirl when I get home and let you know what turns up.
OK!
I did a task29 wipe and reloaded MAGLDR with the correct partitions and it fired right up.
Thanks for all of the help!
Someone please help me!! Before all i problems my phone kept freezing in boot and i tried everything by cleaning my sd, ad hard reset and changing builds and the same boot freeze kept happening. So after getting tired of that and having to hard reset everyday i eventually flashed TMOUS stock rom then after tried to do the magldr 113 isntall. I got magldr installed on my phone and then i choose the ad recovery. When i do i get this message "no boot source". I tried looking up on these forums and can't find anything to fix my problems. Someone please help me with a step-by-step guide. I don't want to own an hd2 running the crummy wm6.5 :/ I NEED ANDROID

do this...depending on the recommended recovery size (typically 5-150-5 for non sense versions) download a recovery from here ..then restart you phone...go into magldr...go to flasher...once the usb is linked to pc run daf.exe from the recovery (extracted folder)...u will then have recovery installed

Great ! I will try it out as well. I have been getting this error for the last few times. I am not sure why this happened.
I installed a WP7 rom and then went back to android (hopeless battery drain with my SD card ... not sure if I can ever do something about that). I could not get back to AD recovery.
Thanks again !

If you loaded WP7 it may have locked your SD Card - need to format in a Nokia phone. Or reduced the usable size to 200mb - this can be fixed with a partitioning tool from PC
when go back and forth between WP7 and Android the nand is overwritten ... thats why you loose your AD recovery.
REMEMBER - if you ever try WP7 and come back to Android dont forget youll need to task 29 (to clean out that nasty M$ dirt!), flash magLDR, flash recovery ( i usually stick with a 200 mb partition, as i usually run Hyperdroid, AND that way there are no worries about bad blocks), and then the rom.
although its not NECESSARY its recommended buuuut to avoid weird restarts, FCs, and any other random glitches that may occur down the short road ITS NECESSARY! :-D
good luck
hello everyone! I just installed android on my HTC HD2 successfully but when the phone reboot, shows me the MAGLDR says me that android booting from start and I have to setup android everytime I reboot the phone from the start. someone help me passing this step. thankyou in advance
Hi there,
I haven't flashed a new Android ROM in a while on my good old HD2.
Things got changed...
I have magldr installed, and I also just installed CWM and seems to work fine too.
And I partitioned my SD card with a 1GB ext4 partition.
When I flashed a ROM in CWM, and I want to boot it, it keeps being stuck in the bootscreen of the ROM after magldr loaded it.
And yes, I have been waiting like 30 minutes, because I know the first boot takes a while, but not 30 minutes...
I have this issue with every Android ROM, and I am wondering what the problem could be, because I'm already struggling with this for lots of hours, but still haven't find any solution.
Windows Phone 7 via DAF.exe seems to work fine though, so my guess it that there is something wrong in partitions? but I am not sure at all.
I hope anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

Well I am not sure about that actually :O
I also tried a magldr partition of 445MB.
And I used the Recovery_400M.
But CWM looks to work fine.
I tried again.
Want to flash this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275119
I made a 1GB ext4 partition before.
With HD2 ToolKit I made a 175MB System partition, and a 8MB cache size.
Guess what?
It seems that it's booting now
Still waiting till it's fully booted, but I'll keep you updated.
Thanks kylew1212, you made me understand the 5/175/8 formats.
By knowing this I actually succeeded now

You can do it yourself,open the recovery folder,right klick on flash.cfg,open with editor.Now you can change the values of "boot yboot", "system ya", "cache ya" how it is on the Discription for the rom you would to flash.Now you must save it.
That´s all !!

But for what is this?
Because I got the ROM fully working now with the way I described before.
I also get stuck on bootscreen with every rom that i flash with CWM.
Until i flashed a new kernel today i didnt have that problem (using ThypooN CM7). When it got stuck i did a task 29 to try and fix it.
Maybe i am missing something, this is what i do using HD2 Toolkit:
task 29
flash 2.15.50.14 radio (at first i didnt do that but i makes no difference)
install MAGLDR
install CWM
flash rom with CWM
I am using a 150/5 patiton for the ROM (recomemded in the OP), i also tried 160/10 but again it doesnt work.
CWM installs the zip normally. When i try to boot the rom it just gets stuck at bootscreen. I tried leaving it for 20 min and it still doesnt work.
I even installed wm6.5 and did the whole process of installing MAGLDR again to see if that helps but the same thing happens.
I also tried using cLK and got stuck again with every rom.
cLK, MAGLDR and CWM all work just fine, that is why i have no idea why the rom gets stuck at bootscreen.
It seems to me that the CWM doesnt install the rom corectly. The only rom that does work is AmeriCan Android becouse i doesnt need CWM.
Is there anything i can do to fix it?
Thanks

I'm not sure what's going on. I've flashed many roms with cwm. Never a problem. However if you think cwm is your problem try another recovery, there are a few more available now. I've started using team win recovery project (twrp)
One other thing. It is not necessary to reflash the radio everytime. Once it is installed it does not uninstall unless you change to a different radio.

I also flashed many roms with CWM and i never had a problem before.
Now i tried twrp with clk (clean install with task 29) and it flashes the rom normally. After i reboot i get the bootscreen, then i should get the boot animation and all i get is a black screen (the backlight is on). Few seconds later the phone vibrates like it booted but the screen is still black. If i restart the phone the same thing happens again.
I guess i'll have to use wp7
Thanks anyway

I finally got it to work
It was the last thing i tried before flashing wp7. In wp7 OP it says that you have to install wm6.5, let it boot and then install MAGLDR. The important thing here is that you dont use task 29.
I installed wm6.5, let it boot, then install MAGLDR and CWM (without task 29) and now it works perfectly

Hello guys.
I am in a bit of a situation.
I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500.I rooted it 1 year ago and I have installed Omega rom.Whenever I try to install a new ROM i encounter a weird issue:i ALWAYS get stuck in the Samsung (welcome) screen. it seems I am "bound" to use omega rom.
The funny thing is that now i stuck at one single version of the omega rom , the V22.For instace , i tried to install omega rom v26 and i get the same issue: the samsung screen.
Please help me solve this problem. I want to install the OzcanRom .
I forgot to mention: when it gets stuck there , the phone heats up very high.
So far i tried to:
Flash 3 different kernels.
Flash CF autoroot.
Nothing worked.
Forgive my mistakes , english is not my main lang..
Best Possible wayout is
1 Flash Stock ROM
2 Go to recovery, factory Default it
3 boot it to homescreen
4 Root it
5 Enjoy New Custom Rom Installation (install ROM)
Give a try..

Hi mate ,
Do a full wipe and format internal SD ( philz touch mount and storage / format / data/ internal SD ....not sd1 that is your external one) back up first , also all the pictures music and what ever you have in your internal SD that you care for,,,place rom in the external SD
BTW do you have by any chance the chinese PIT ??
I did all those things over and over ,at least 5 or 6 times and same thing happens.
What is the chinese PIT?

what error you get while installing new ROM
The install goes well , no errors show up. I finish the install , reboot the phone and then it stays forever in the "SAMSUNG" screen.In addition to that , the phone heats up like crazy.
And the funny part is that i can only install omega v22 , if i try to install omega v26 ,it has the same issue.

You can download firmwares also from SamMobile.com
Try to reflash the Rom second time.
So:
Format
Flash
Reboot to recovery
Flash again the same Rom same options.
Had a similar sounding problem
