I have running android for about a year from now. But now I want to try out the gingerberad version. I miss to use my android from the phone memory and not from sd card. Is this possible? When the phone is inserted in my pc, the sd card is in use, and the phone is not working because the sd card is busy. Is an possibility to run android form phones internal memory like windows mobile do?
You need to look at the Nand posts here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905841

I installed WM7 on my HD2 that was running a custom 6.5 rom.
After I installed it though, WM7 keeps telling me that there isn't a lot of space. When I checked, there's only 6.5mb free. Is there a way the old ROM is still under WM7, thus taking up so much space?
I always had a ton of space on 6.5 to install apps/games/etc. (I did a "factory reset" of wm7 annnnd then it sent my phone into a never-ending bootcycle.)
So my question is, how do I wipe completely the old WM 6.5 ROM to fresh install 7 and save all of that space?
Also, my old boot image from 6.5 still shows up when 7 was booted.
Check your SD card. Might not be compatible.
There's actually no SD card in there. I'm talking about just the straight up phone storage.
(I'm using my 16g SD card for my Android phone and don't feel like backing up/reformatting right now).
That is why. WP7 requires a sd card to be in the phone so it can use it as if it were internal storage.
Oh gotcha.
If I just have my SD card inserted when I flash WP7, will it do the rest for me?
And does the SD card need to then remain in the phone for it to work properly?

Yes, you need the sd card in there when you first boot wp7 (you don't need to reflash, just hard reset it with card in), and the card must remain in the phone anytime you have wp7 on. If you turn on wp7 without the card or take it out while booted in to wp7, you will have to restart. Also, wp7 will format and make the card only readable by wp7... you can't take the card out to use with a card reader or for anything else. It's only usable with wp7.
yea i saw somewhere that the WP7 regular phones with sd slots make the memory "expandable" but as it formats and uses it in conjunction with the nand partition it is not "removable"...
Which is why the HD2 has a couple of plus points compared to a native HD7 in which the sd card is actually hidden underneath all the casing which you cant access..
help needed am new to android, i recently flashed android 2.2 froyo onto my htc hd2 which has a 8gb sd card in it . when i connect my phone to my pc and select the disk drive option, the drive whic opens up is is 199 mb and contains several folders including android secure. now i get warnings about my disk space being low when am installing apps, where has my 8gb sd card gone to?
You more then likely installed WP7 onto your HD2, formatting your memory card to a special ext.
Google SDFormatter v3, copy contents of your SD card to your PC.
Use card reader and take micro sd from HD2.
Run the program, it will ERASE THE ENTIRE MICRO SD CARD, put back on your files you transferred over.
Are you using a SD card build or are you using a NAND ROM? If you are running a NAND ROM did you partition your SD card for A2SD?
As the post above me said save your files from SD card to your computer and reformat your SD card. Do a full wipe of it and use Fat 32. But I don't know why the post above me said anytbing about WP7 as you didn't say anything about WP7.
yes i had installed WP7 on it before flashing android on it. its a nand ROM. THANKS
hi everyone, im try to move some app on sd but cannot .. all install into internal 512..
how can solve this to move more app on sd?
tks
As Android is running from sd card, its pointless to move them.
i wanted to move games and apps to the SD as well to keep the phone memory free
Indeed I have same problem. Phone memory is iconic since it is still SD card (due to android running from SD card).
But even when the iconic phone memory is running out of space, android warns you as if it was real.
hi,
i have htc h2 with android platform, last night i install win7 and my SD card 8GB also inside the mobile, after installation finish i cant see any option abt memory in win7 mobile also when i remove mem card my mobile switch offed and my android OS totally gone i can't send d receive any files via bluetooth
Now i want dual operating system and memory card must be work in win7 and android i have two 8Gb cards.
Any suggestion would me great appreciat
On win7 -settings -about should show memory
When you install win7 on any sd card, this will encrpyt the sd card, so it will not be readable unless you recover it using, for example a nokia device there is a thread on this forum listing all the devices that can recover sd card..
Your android oS will be not be available because Win7 will be installed as Nand (over android on the phone) but for dual boot android must run from sd card
What you need to do
Maybe use the same sd card or different sd card
Install win7 - when successfull
Install dev_lock cab by cab sender
Install partition_cab (less than 8gb) and reset your phone from about
Turn on storage lock..turn phone off
Put sd card in sd adapter and transfer android sd rom onto it
Go through the magdlr options( on this forum)
Dual boot should be set up
Hi, thanks for your reply.I'm not comfort with windows 7 because some features very annoying, bluetooth nt working and when i press green button to atten are dial call camera opening always its really very silly, i need to install only android what i hav to do for installing android and my SD card showing only 200mb in pc i nt format yet if i format i cant use my mobile. plz slove my problem
you have to recover your sd card first so if you can, reformat using nokia devices or use the unlock cab followed by partition cab then easeus mini tool to fully reformat then install android through magdlr

sory with out useing plz what is the question issue you are faceing?
I find it much easier to just have 2 sd cards & switch them for whichever op system i want. Plus it saves you memory on cards.
I have an 8gb for my windows & 16gb for my android.
i installed Android version 2.2 everything working fine except internal memory i can't use internal memory in settings its show Available internal storage space 614MB.when i transfer any photos r mp3 via blue-tooth it asking memory card. where is my internal memory gone

Do you still have WP7 flashed on the NAND? Absolute worst case scenario, start at the beginning. Reflash Windows Mobile 6.5, then Magldr, then Android ROM for NAND.
Am I reading this right that you're booting Android from your SD card?
win7 already i flash witn android nand. No its not booting from SD. it booting from Nand.
I guess my next question is why would you want to put photos and music on the NAND? The HD2 only has 1GB. Wouldn't those files be better suited for the SD card?
