[Q] HD2 internal memory only 284MB after clean rom

HI guys
I just flashed [DAF-CLEAN] BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA GINGER_HoneyComB_V12 (01.Apr)
After flashing, i found out that my TOTAL internal memory is only 284. Anyone also having this problem?
I tried few other roms. it seems that the total stays around this number.
i did a Task29, but seems to be having the same problem after reflashing the same rom.
Anyone have any ideas? or is this normal?

It depends on which cwm partition layout you are using for /system and how many apps you have etc
Are you using euro or tmous phone?

using Euros one. How do i check the cwr partition part?

Open the cwm partition folder and open "flash.cfg" in notepad+ and edit the /system to desired size.
So if your system folder in your rom is 90mb and you have used 150. You have approx 60 mb that could be used if you change the flash.cfg to eg 95. But you should then do a nandroid backup. Reflash cwm with the new layout and then restore
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 100M<-------------- Edit this to the value you want.
cache ya 10M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
Edit: Or use apps2sd, apps2sd+ data2sd or delete ringtones, bootanimations and stuff using root explorer/droid explorer.

Thanks a lot for the info. Actually i dont have a cwr partition. My sd card is not setup for cwr. I did install cwr before though..

its not on the sd card , its on the nand of your device

He is flashing a DAF, not a CWM-Zip. Also, 248mb sounds kind of normal, depends on how big the ROM is.

You can flash a daf rom and apply latest cwm at same time....
Look at the flash.cfg for the daf rom, copy the boot and system lines to the cwm flash.cfg( or edit the ones already there so the size is standard and bigger than the system.img file in the daf folder) then copy the system.img and boot.img files from daf folder to the cwm folder and run daf.exe in the cwm folder,,,, it will apply cwm and flash the daf rom. Then, if you want a clean backup, use cwm to back up completely then if you want to reflash that rom use the backup instead of the original daf.

Hi All
Thanks for all the replies.
Here's some notes on the nand Rom
From the DAF Zip (after unzipping) i found out the
system.img = 109MB.
boot.img = 2.9MB
From the file flash.cfg: Here's all the contents.
boot ya|boot|ro filesize+2M boot.img
system ya filesize system.img
cache ya 20M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
i guess in a way it is possible to have only 284MB free... Do let me know what you guys think. Thanks a lot for your advices

[Q] How can I verify the CWM partition size?

Hi,
First of all I am sorry for the noob question, but how can I verify what is the partition size of Clockworkmod Recovery is creating in my cell phone?
I have a T-Mobile HD2 with MAGL 1.3, Clockworkmod Recovery 3.0.0.1 and Hyperdroid CM7 installed. Under Settings/About Phone/ Mem Info I see 134MB/411MB. Is the CWM partition related with this?
In the past I used the HD Core Droid version 1.5 witch was a very big Android ROM (270Mbytes), now a installed the Hyperdroid witch is very light (67Mbytes). But I just installed the ROM without changes in the CWM layout. Any suggestions about?
Thanks
Eduardo

looks like your partition is set for around 400mb
you can modify the flash.cfg file in cwm by opening it with notepad.
and change the numbers to those recomended by the Rom dev
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize MAGLDR_recovery_3.0.2.4-seadersn.img
boot yboot|ro 8M
system ya 400M
cache ya 8M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize

Thanks for your help. Just a few question.
Where is located the flash.cfg file? So, just changing the parameter system ya from 400M to 150M is enought to release space to install more apllications?
Thanks

u will need to instal everything again and use the toolkit to install the 150 mb partition ... witch will leave about 200mb free ...if u install 120 mb that will leace about 300 mb free ... if u go lower mayve the rom wont boot.
for hyperdroid i used ti flash 100 mb but with 90mb the rom dont boot ...it's advisable to flash the partition set by the dev of any rom...

no, it isnt related at all, thats the memory, the RAM, not the partition size.
there is nowhere as standard that shows you teh size of the system partition (which is what you mean by CWM partition).
You can see the size of the data partition by going setings - storage - internal storage.
to see teh others, get 'super manager' from teh market, open it, and choose file explorer.
now, at teh top of the foldes list, in small writing under where it says 'back up level folder' it gives you details of teh folder you are currently in, ,
so use it to browse into your system folder, and look at the info.
EG mine says 'total 150M used 137.4M, bla blah' because I have a 150Meg system partition, and teh typhoon rom comes to about 137 meg when unzipped.
If i now browse into the cache folder, that info shows 'tot 40M, used 1.1M.....' because i chose a 40meg cache partition.
you can do the same with the sd-ext folder to see how big and how full your EXT partition on the sd card is.

Thanks a lot for all the answers. Now the this thing is getting clear for me.
Thanks guys.

More Explanation on how to install from one android rom to another android rom!

i just started converting my HD2 to android
It now is NAND and has magldr
question now is do i install clockwork mod so to get from DFT Stock Desire to say like RUNNYMEDE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268580

Yes, install CWM, with the appropriate size system partition for the ROM you want, then download the rom.zip, put it on the root of your SD card, then in CWM, choose to flash .zip from sd card, then choose .zip, then flash it.
Reboot system, and enjoy your new ROM

ignore, my mistake.

Make sure you have the right recovery partition for the particular rom .... each one is different and can be easily modified by opening
flash.cfg file with notepad and changing the values in red
misc ya 1M
recovery rrecov|ro|nospr filesize recovery-raw.img
boot yboot|ro 8M
system ya 325M
cache ya 10M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
here's the newest Clockwork Recover to date version 5

since the version of runnymede require CWR 5/445/5
and im trying to use this CWR http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
do i download the 400mb version?

Just get the HD2 NAND Toolkit from the HD2 NAND Android forum and you can flash CWM with the correct partition sizes. Or you can download the CWM of whatever size you want, open up the flash.config file in any text editor, and change the patition sizes that way.
Either way you go, it's important to use the correct partition sizes.

i think i screwed up

after installing everything my HTC HD2 is stuck at
123456
go go go
I feel so helpless now. .
also what are the ROMs that can be installed to Nand without SDcard like via Mag
how do I know which partition size (like 150 or 200 or 250, or is it any size bigger than the installed andriod rom will do?) is required by the various Roms?
Thanks

Android load at 11800000
from NAND
yaffs2 part is /system
Load zImage
Load initrd.gz
[K]11808000:224ac0 12200000:281E6C
Load done!
123456
Go Go Go!
another thing to mention
tried to install WP7 using the same way
loaded successfully to the welcome screen
then when i touch screen to go on
it doesn't recognize that i did touched the screen
when i press the hard keys like volume or power
it's working
so what is wrong ?

presuming you have flashed magldr correctly and have your radio and hspl up to date, i think it has to be the partition isze. it differs with various roms. the developer would have definitely stated the minimum or recommended size for your partition. you can change it by editing the values in the flash.cfg file in the recovery zip file. what rom are you using.maybe i can point out the size to you...

it happened to me when I was first flashing a rom. As kawshigan said it must be the partition size. Use this for flashing Recovery
Code:
misc ya 1M
boot yboot|ro 5M
system ya 135M
cache ya 44M
userdata ya|asize|hr allsize
it boots up almost all the ROMS without a change. Good luck

i am too confused over what rom
can u point to one that uses DAF to install as Clockworkmod option dun appear
any thing that is v2.3 and above is fine, can u recommend me one?
btw is having an sdcard on the phone a MUST? Thanks

this one uses daf method.

[Q] why error in install 2.3.5?

Hi, I dont know, where fail me, please can you help me? Sorry if I write in bad section.
I want install this ROM to HTC HD2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348922 I found step by step guide, and stuck at at instal magldr 1.13 recovery, I solved that, and next step was instal CLK 1.5. ok, after reboot I get to android recovery menu. I copy ROM to root SDcard a over recovery menu installed , by instal asked me at wipe (I gave wipe) next ask was version EU vs US t-mobile verzi (EU option get error. US-tmobile get install ROM) last ask was magldr or CLK installed, I installed at last CLK so choiced CLK.. on LCD I saw install complete, you may reboot, and may take 15 minutes. I saw HTC logo, but after 35 minutes in stuck htc logo, I powered off and find help. can you help me, where I failed? THX and sorry for my bad english

Follow the guide in my signature, either you followed a very bad guide or (more likely) you misunderstood a lot of it because of the language barrier. This is an outline of the steps you should be taking:
1. Install HSPL
2. Install a compatible radio
3. Install MAGLDR
4. Install CWM with the correct system partition size for your chosen ROM
5. Partition your SD card for A2SD (optional)
6. Install the ROM
7. Install any extra features you want.
Good luck

That is correct, yes, however you must also partition your SD card if you have an EU HD2 as some apps will be installed to the EXT partition of the SD. You can either do this on a PC or in CWM (see the guide in my signature for this).

How can I check if I have EU or TMOUS (this is not my phone, so I dont know it)? I am installing TMOUS, because EU install get error. and must I EXT partition creat in SD with TMOUSE? big thanks

A TMOUS HD2 will have the T-Mobile logo on the top of the phone, a red end call button and a green call button. I think that you may still need to create an EXT partition for the TMOUS one as well, now that I've had a look at the ROM.

I changed touch screen, so mabye only check button ok I think I have EU version, so I need EXT part? can you any PC tools recommend me? I think by CWM not work :/ or its possible it take format 8gb card 1 hour? I see only partitioning SD card... please wait... but really I see it 1 hour :/

Yeah, it shouldn't take an hour so it's clearly not working properly in CWM. I'd recommend using EaseUS Partition Manager, it's fairly user friendly. I don't know about the language settings though, hopefully it'll work for you.

I must be idiot :/ still nothing I formated SD card with primary partition FAT32 capacity 6,5 GB and 1 logical partition EXT (I tried EXT2 and EXT3), but If I try install EU version, by step "mount sd-ext" get error E:error name_rom.zip (status 0) isntall aborted. Any ideas? THX

OK, I choosed another ROM and it work BIG THANK TO Nigeldg
