(?) Two ROMs - One Devise ? - Wildfire General

Is it possible to boot two ROMs (Who share the one EXT part) ?
Like Ubuntu and Kubuntu
edit: Device*

Nope
/tenchars

I think this kind of thing (boot from sdcard) is made possible for xperia mini. For xperia it required a fast memory card atleast class 8.
Not yet made possible on wildfire.

If yyou were to do such a thing, you would have to have a faster device.
I'm not sure if its relevant but if you created NANDroid backups of each rom you can boot into them in clockworkmod

[REQ]shubCRAFT build + Htc Sense

is there way to make this happend
so we could remove from the update file apks we dont want
thx
old topic
Code:
shubCRAFT build + Htc Sense possible ?
if i take the apks of htc sense and put them in
htc update file in shubcraft its will install the htc ?
and remove the LauncherPro
nope, it isnt possible, sense is much more than just a launcher it has lots of modified frameworks too
I'm sure you can find a theme that looks similar to sense if thats all your after.
Maybe similar but it is not the original.
the htc dialer would be great if theres anyway to bring it in.

Whats wrong with the builds that natively run sense? What is the benefit to sense on top of shubcraft. The entire idea of shubcraft is to be an alternative to sense via the cyanogen mod.
shubchraft! was made for those who don't like HTC Sense and Original android stock! I also like HTC Sense and I am using Darkstone latest with HTC sense and it works great!
You guys don't get it, huh?
Most builds, except shubcraft, come with the system in an ext2 image that needs to be mounted in linux in order to make changes to the system. shubcraft, which uses zegobit's superb initrd, has the ability to use an OTA-like update.zip that requires no signature and is used to create the system image.
What OP is asking for is for a sense build built around this rootfs.
It's possible/doable. I'm still very much a linux newbie and I don't understand the boot process too well. I do know that as it is right now, the init.rc in the rootfs only sets the jar classpath for the stock android and misses some jars actually needed to get sense builds to boot too.
I figure it could be as easy as taking the initrc from a sense build, commenting out the filesystem mounting procedures (as the init script already takes care of it), and then make an update.zip using, say, matt's sense system (mount it, extract it, and then compress it all into a zip).
Guess I'll give it a shot and then post both the update.zip and rootfs if it works
yes that what i meant
hope u will success
This would be great to have.

Hi
1. In future could we expect custom rom support such as CM?
2. How easy is it to do the 32GB card fix
3. I read about a registry edit which allows for drag and drop, could this in anyway harm the device?
4. I need a case (not worth making new thread) preferably from this site: trademe .co .nz

Anyone else on the other questions?

Some general questions about the HD2.

Hello everyone,
I have a HTC wildfire, it a low end phone and I am thinking of getting the HD2 as an upgrade. I know that it runs on WP6.5
Is it easy to install other OS on it like WP7, UBUNTU & android ?
Can someone show me some guides to install these three OS from scratch as I got lost while browsing the HD2 forum
If it's easy, you'll see me active on this forum soon

Another question, is it possible to dual boot between different OS ?
Sent from my CM7 powered Egyptian HTC Wildfire.
I use Android (CM7/CM9) and it's much better than W6.5 (didn't try W7).
You can switch between different Android OS, if you use SD-Versions and choose the boot source before starting OS.
So I will have one OS on the internal memory and the others on sdcard ?

yes, this is my setup now
Tango in nand
Miui / ICS on SD
but preparing a single SD for dual boot is kinda tricky, you have to read instructions really carefully also a 16gig or even 32gig is recommended if you go that way since WP7 apps are sometimes huge!
give it some time, and a crucial piece of software will be released that will aid the ability to dual boot greatly
But in short for now
NAND _ SD
WP_ (WP combined storage)
WM_ Storage
Android _ Storage
WM _ Android
Android _ Android
WP _ (WP combined storage) + Android
WP and WM can only work from the phone at the moment, and WP really needs to use the SD card hence the difficulty in getting it dual booting with android. although we have seen WM running Within WP which is very interesting if it should ever see the light of day.
MAGLDR v2 should make it a lot easier!
You'll be very glad you got an HD2 my friend! With this the world is within your hands.
if you want multiboot, just flash an magldr
if you want android only, recovery is suggested
ubuntu's not recommanded as it's sd card based and runs not so good

I have three 8GB SDcards, can I make one for android, another for ububtu and the third for windows mobile data ?
one of them is class 6 the other two are class 4. Will I have to partition the SDcard ?

Hey lo2ay, I was in the exact same situation as you - I had a HTC Wildfire and it was driving me nuts how slow even CM7 was on it, so I managed to get an HD2 as an upgrade. It was my brother's phone and he was using WP7 on it, so I gave that a go and personally I don't recommend it. You can't use any live services without contacting microsoft and editing registries to make your phone think it's an HD7 which can be annoying. I don't know if you tried the unofficial CM9 ROM for your wildfire but there's one for the HD2 aswell and the difference is amazing - much more stable and much much faster
I'd suggest that you go for this phone if you can get one

Yes you can store data on those three cards separately, but I don't know if you'll be able to just switch cards to switch OS (sorry, but I use NAND android which is permanent)
Also if you do want to use NAND android you only have to partition an SD card in order to use apps2SD on Sense ROMs

A great thanks to you mate, surely you understand my situation
I've tried unofficial CM9 for my wildfire. And CM9 will definitely be faster on any device except mine as the wildlife doesn't have a GPU.
I would really want to install android on internal memory as (I think) it will be faster and more stable than on SDcard.
The problem is, u got your HD2 while it was "ready" for flashing ROMS, you said that your brother were using W7. But I will buy one which is not "ready". I arleady know how to root/S-OFF android devices but the HD2 is not android so it will have a different process which I don't know.
That's why I created this thread. To know if this process is easy or not. If it's not then it will be allot easier for me to buy an android phone and root it. But I want the HD2 because it seems to have a never ending development community

The process for flashing the required things so you can run Android from NAND is not really hard at all. You just have to make sure you have the correct drivers installed on your computer and that your battery has plenty of charge wo your device does not die in the middle of a flashing essential things like radio or HSPL/SPL. Just take your time and make sure you understand the instructions from the guides.
As for using three SD cards in the manor you suggested. Yes you could use one card for Windows Mobile data, one card for running Android from SD, and you can use one card to run Ubuntu from SD. I have never tried the Ubuntu on my HD2 but I have read up on it and it boots from SD the same way Android boots from SD, by opening CLCAD and the HARET. Also I have used Android from SD before and it was not really sluggish or slow. Matter of fact I have noticed very little difference between Android from SD and Android from NAND. Last when you run Android or Ubuntu from SD your Windows Mobile is still in NAND and the file explorer is what you use to boot either of them. So yes you can just swoop cards at as you want.
These guides are great:

Hello Guys

Like the title says hello guys i am new to this part of the forum but old for other sections of it
after reading all the guides i could find i easily "modded" my htc hd2 thanks for all the great guides that are available and also thanks to the devs create a big choice of custom roms for us to make use of.
I have a small question which i cant find a solution to so far i am currently using MAGLDR v1.13 and installed android on nand with the correct partitions needed but i have no idea how to repartition the device so far since i used the zip file available in the guide "how to install CWM Recovery" can anyone pinpoint me to a guide to learn how to repartition my device please?
Nand toolkit is easiest,, choose partition size, click repartition, done.
downloaded the toolkit cannot agree more very easy to use thanks mate
You can also try out those SD-ROMs which you just drop in your SD card & boot via magldr, check out the link below to give you an idea.
i was attracted by the the title of this thread.
Although i no longer have a HD2 since 2 years ago, it was one of my fav phone. Best built quality IMO even when compared to the latest One X which I own.
wish all of you the very best using this beast!!!
Haha thanks mate to be honest i gave my sensation to my girlfriend and kept the HD2 as a daily device i love every aspect of it so far altough it is a downgrade from my previous phone
