NativeSD Rom Boot Script for HD2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1869673
many-many thanks to the devs & guys that gave us this!
But there are still a few out there that are new to this so here is what i did to make it simple to follow.
What's it about anyways, here one good answer from samsamuel
samsamuel said:
standard sd android runs from an image on the fat32 partition that pretends to be a file system, nativeSD actually installs to the EXT partition, and the phone/android treats it as a real filesystem. its the same as installing to nand, except as fast as or faster (assuming you have a nice fast card,) than nand, and it keeps the read/write pressure off the nand memory, reducing the potential for bad blocks.

what you need:
- a good fast SD card, size depends on your needs (i tried a 4g Kingston that took forever to load, it could be fake/ damaged)
- MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 7.6
- Download 4EXT Recovery from here. this is where the magic starts, thanks Xylograph/ securecrt
- for multi-ROM selection , thanks datagr
- for NativeSD Touch Recovery, backup & restore thanks tytung
- How not to Google Play when using diffrent roms so as not to always go to Google Play
I assume you already have Magldr/ CWM in your HD2 & know your way around the Magldr Menu.
First we need to format the SD card so that it will contain two partitions, ALL DATA WILL BE DELETED. so do a backup/ copy of your card.
- 1 FAT32 primary
- 1 EXT4 primary
Be very careful when using the minitool partition as you can accidentally format/ delete your Hard Disk Partition.
Insert you SD card to your PC & run minitool partition, something like below will show. Make sure you select the right drive.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Right click on the drive & choose "delete" then apply the changes, Again make sure it's the right drive! You now have an "unallocated" partition.
right click on the drive again & choose "Create New Partition" & change the dropdown boxes as the options below. Now move the mouse to the end of the "Size and Location" table. click & hold then move to the LEFT to leave a space for the EXT4 which will be done latter. Size will depend on how many Roms yo plan to use & how many apps you plan to install. Click OK.
right click on the drive again that has the "Unallocated" space & choose "Create New Partition" & change the dropdown boxes as the options below. Remember it should be Primary & EXT4. Click OK
Click Apply & when it's done you should have 1 FAT32 & 1 EXT4 Partition
Another method of creating an EXT4 partition
3a Use the provided 4EXT recovery (NAND or SD version) to create the partitions and format them.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
copy the "TOUCH" or "TWRP" or "RECOVERY" folder your SD Card (they all do the same thing)
no need to copy the others for now as it will be erased when you create/ format the EXT4 partition
Magldr > Service > Boot Setting > AD SD Dir > TOUCH
& this should run, Tap on Advance
Tap on Partition SD card
Ext size. = press the + sign to go up, swap size is 0 & make sure to select EXT4 then tap Partition
this is what info you can see using the "Recovery" Folder method
Magldr > Service > Boot Setting > AD SD Dear > Recovery (folder must be in SD root)
Time to Flash!
Magldr > Service > Boot Setting > AD SD Dir > TOUCH
Tap Install, notice that the compatible ROMS for this methoid have a div2 or NativeSD designation, tap on the ROM you want to flash.
Make SURE the ROM you Tap is the correct one
if you made a mistake tapping the incompatible ROM it will not go the Aroma installer but immediately will be flashed to NAND - erasing what ever you had there!
Install to SD-EXT
wait for it then your Done!
Magldr > Service > Boot Setting > AD SD Dir > NATIVESD
Run NativeSDBoot.apk, tap on whatever ROM you wan to BOOT to then re-start.
HTH
& BTW don't forget to hit the Thanks Button for the Dev's & Guys who made/ ported those ROM's to become NativeSD :highfive:

could by the way it was formated or the size of cluster used? some card specs are fast in some work task but now all maybe like read-write, copy-transfer etc.
anyways just use whatever works best for you

AFAIK those are just the same ROM manager/ Recovery loaders but from different dev's or you can use either if your keys are not functioning twrp(team win recovery project). for multi boot just use the app "NativeSDmultiboot" in the first page, it will be like the one attached.

I meant, how to install multi ROM with recovery method. do you just boot to the recovery folder and install another ROM.zip? or use the NativeSDmultiboot apk and then install from there?

1. do you have partition on sd card?
2.did you copy Android folder to root of sdcard and owerwrited
it?
3.did you set in titanium backup to restore backups to internal?
and try KMapp to check out if hd2sd is ticked in app....
and under hds2d settings in KMapp check if you have ticked following:
app, log, dalvik cache..under dalvik cache there are few options what to move....and remeber: it is important that you copy this folder(Android) to root of ur sdcard...
http://db.tt/b5ahm2zW
unzip it to sdcard and owerwrite it....

what r u saying is first u enable hybrid app2sd after that u make partition..?
it very simple just follow this STEP BY STEP... which Kyrillos said..
Optional, Enable Hybrid Data2sd [More space for apps!]
- Make a backup of your sdcard, enter CWM recovery and go to Miscellaneous => Partition SD Card. Choose the sizes you want (Recommended:512-1Gb ext, and 0mb swap]. After the partition completes, wipe data and reboot. You can now copy back all your sdcard files which you did a backup.
- Then copy the contents of the sdcard folder in your sdcard and reboot. No wipe data required, the first reboot may take time.
- Install titanium and go to titanium backup's preferences, and select Restore Backups to => Internal Storage. Then do your restore...

How to unpartition?
Hi, I used kyrillos rom before I installed cm7 a7 and in kyrillos I enabled HD2S and partitioned my sdcard with 512mb, after some time I installed a fresh copy of cm7 from odin, and my sdcard still has a maximum of 6.9GB instead of 7,4gb so i was wondering if there is a way to restore my sdcard to it's previous state?
A Little Help Plz
I installed kyrillos 9.0....
Updated to v9.5....Successfully!
Copied the four files necessary for HYBRID DATA2SD to my sd card
Went into cwm nd partitioned my sd card ..... successfully!
Installed Titanium Backup which shows the partition (a2sd)
went into terminal evaluator which shows hybrid data2sd script running
But still whenever i install apps, my internal memory gets low ???
I installed Kmapp also and have HYBRID DATA2SD enabled with "app, dalvik cache & log" checked
What did i do wrong?
Remedies please..
Thanks In advance
When it comes to partitioning SD Cards I am total noob.
Okay I partitioned my SD Card and made a 7 GB FAT32 partition of for my stuff and a EXT 4 of around 560 MB.....
After that I directly installed Kyorarom v0.5 and now I wanna know the few things:
1. What is App2SD?
2. What is App2SD+?
3. What is Data2SD?
4. What is Hybrid Data2SD?
And when I connect my phone to the PC and enable USB storage I find my SD Card empty while from my phone's file manager I see a few folders in it.....
Hybrid data2sd enable you to manually (and easy) select which files/folders you want to move to sd. Data wipe isnt nessesary take a look at herefor app2sd

By MiniTool....
I now regret it...
Should have done by CWM...
But now that I have made the mistake how do I fix it?
When I connect to PC I can see the files which I transferred on SD Card from my PC. And in my phone I cannot see those files but I can see the files which were made by my phone such as folders like "Android", "Data" etc...
I want to turn my SD Card back to normal.
The way it was and then I will partition via CWM.
How do I turn it back to normal the way it was?
Just one whole partition with no Unallocated space?

And now,
I will partition my SD Card using CWM (512 MB) and Factory Reset (Kyorarom).
After that what do I do so that my EXT partition starts working and all apps get moved?

btw: did u copy those files to sd...and check init.d folder...if there is app2sd script delete it....unless you will use app2sd....then you have 3 options v1, v2, v3...best is v2 coz v3 causes lags...coz with v3 all ur data goes to sd-ext...it should be like this when on hd2sd:

So I just put this file in the desired location and then I am done?
I moved apps that I possibly can to the SD card and I clean the cache daily. Is there no other option than to delete apps to free up space on my device?
Any help is appreciated.

Are you rooted? If so you can partition your sd card and install dark tremors a2sd which allows you to moves apps and cache to the sd

There are different "levels" of partitioning (ext 1, ext 2, ext 3, and ext 4) I recommend ext 3 because not all roms support ext 4. Partitioning will wipe your sd so make a back up, once you've partitioned you can move cache to sd as well.. Follow these steps
1) make back up of sd on your PC
2) boot into recovery and go to partition sd (may be in advanced settings depending on recovery)
3) choose partition to ext 3 and set the partition size to 1024mb
4) reboot and restore back up to sd
5) reboot back into recovery and flash your dt a2sd zip
6) reboot again
7) open terminal emulator
8) in all lowercase type the following
su
a2sd check
a2sd cache sd
9) enjoy your free internal space

The a2sd thing can be confusing because it can generally refer to two methods. If you are using the applications in setting to "move to SD" it is simply moving the app information to the sd card's fat32 partition. To use DarkTremor's method, you would need to partition your sd card to include an ext3 partition. The phone is then tricked into thinking that partition is part of your internal storage. When you install DarkTremor it will move the apps you have designated as "on phone" to that partition, freeing up internal storage space. You can also then use the terminal commands to move your dalvik cache to that same partition. I've found that moving the /data to the ext partition slows things down pretty badly. I've got about 80 apps loaded in my phone this way with the dalvik moved as well and still have about 152mbs free in internal. You can check out here for more information.

Great explanation!

Aw, thanks! I was just going to also say "just do what evol4g said". I'm curious and have never gotten a straight answer, can the dt zip be installed on any rooted rom or does the rom need to be prepared for it first?

can you elaborate on what you mean by does it need to be prepared for it? The dt zip is just a script and should work on any rooted ROM a lot of people get scared because after they flash dt they see their phone go into a couple boot loops but usually after looping 2 or 3 times the phone still boots..
Do you live in Tempe AZ? I live in Gilbert AZ

I guess I was just under the impression that there was "something" that had to be done to a ROM to allow the DT zip to be flashed to it. So it just needs to be rooted. Cool, I think I'm one of those that was freaked by the multiple boots when I tried to just install it to my rooted OEM setup rather than loading a custom ROM.
Yup, Tempe, AZ.

No not at all, terminal emulator is the Android version of command prompt for windows, you download it from the party store (market) and dt a2sd is Dark Tremor's apps to sd, it's a flashable zip/ script that automatically moves yours apps to sd without you having to do anything at all..

The dt a2sd is not an app from the play store it's a zip you download, the thread is here on xda, I'll post the link in a second.. And yes you'll just follow the instructions I posted
download dta2sd here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715938
so you'll download this zip, this is your flashable zip ok? every time you flash a ROM you will flash this with it. KEEP IN MIND it usually causes the phone to do anywhere from 1 - 4 bootloops so don't freak out, and every time you flash a ROM you also have to move the cache to sd (this is where terminal emulator comes in)
also, partitioning only has to be once so once that's done it's done for good... so the steps i posted will only have to be done once.. Then you just flash the dta2sd every time you flash the rom and move cache AFTER you flash the ROM.. I really hope you understand this man, this is the best i can do to explain lol

i have never use this a2sd. what i use is a app from the market called link2sd which basically does the same thing but just easier and from with in the app itself. it shows you want is on the interntal part, whats on the sd and lets you move them with no problem or other long steps, watch the video on the market page it shows you what to do.
i have over 120app with 41% free on internal (179mb) and on partition i gave it 1.5gb with 43% free on that. i found this when i just couldn't figure out the a2sd
This is just anothe choice for all of you's

DataonExt is basically using a partition of your sd-card( called the ext partition) to store stuff. This ext partition acts as your phone's internal memory, so when we run into low internal memory situation, after installing apps etc, dataonext usually saves the day.
You need 2 things to use this feature
A. An ext partition on your sd card
B. A script that mounts that ext partition as internal memory
A )
This can be done my using the minitool partition wizard or the CWM recovery.
In CWM menu, go to advanced>partition sd card. Select the partition size you want, keep swap to 0. Most GB roms dont need swap. And thats it, the ext partition is created
WARNING!!
Along with creating an ext partition, YOUR SD CARD WILL BE WIPED. MAKE BACKUPS
B) You need an A2SD script, Most A2SD roms already have this script so when u install the rom, after partitioning, the ext partition is automatically mounted. If you want another script, check my signature

Thanks for reply. is it ext3 or ext4 for hd2? and i will mount it "/data" or "/" or no mount? and what about cluster size? And i will use jb rom so i need swap? Thanks.

It did not say "NativeSD", it said "Native". He is using "Native" here as an English word, not a method of booting android.
In fact, if you had clicked on that and gone further you'd have realized what I mean.
Tip: Next time when you search something, you need to go INTO the things you find, not just read their titles.
And btw, it should be ext4 and don't worry about the cluster size, default is fine.

To basically just use the ext partition as internal memory, any ext type can be used. The CWM makes a ext3. You need the ext4 partition for NativeSD roms. Thats a WHOLE different thing. And when u use a default rom with A2SD support, you dont need to mount anything, anything that needs to be mounted, IS mounted.
For swap, check the rom thread, it should be there.
i got a HD2 and sent it to a store so they will install android on it, they did and it returned with a nice rom, fast and nice looking.
the only problem is that the phone shows that he dosn't have any internal storage, i cant download any apps or recive SMS or any thing like that.
the guy in the store cant fix it ( T__T) and he said (after a few times he sent it to the lab back and forward) that it should work now and if it dosn't he will give me the money back...
well it most be a fixable problem so if you guys could help me that will be great.. im not really good at this stuff so its difficult for me to learn it online.
What rom did they install? look in settings/about phone
If you pay someone to install android, it should work, so a refund might be appropriate.

Nice ICS rom
It seems that the rom is not using the ext4 partition for memory as it should (DataOnEXT). What bootloader is installed? On startup immediately press either the end-call button (if magldr is bootloader, you should get a menu) or the back button (if clk is bootloader, you should get a menu)
I pressed the end-call botton right after startup and got a boot manu so i guess magldr is bootloader..
go to magldr menu/8. ad recovery, it should boot your recovery, and tell us what recovery name and version you have installed. Also all information it gives regarding your sd card partitions, size etc.

I might be wrong, but I think you need to re-format your sd-ext partition, using the option in mounts and storage. It needs to be formatted to ext4, and I am sure that the recovery you have supports ext4 format.
Just a quick question, every time you boot the rom, do you have to go through the setup, language, wifi, time zone etc?

Tytung is using the NativeSD data folder for DataOnExt (same as my script);
I'd say it's likely that whoever installed the ROM partitioned/changed the sdcard after installing thus removing this folder:
If the ROM has a terminal emulator app:
su
mkdir -p /NativeSD/NexusHD2-ICS/data
If not install a recovery with a terminal (Extended TWRP for example)
mount => sd-ext
advanced => terminal
mkdir -p /sd-ext/NexusHD2-ICS/data
Or you could use adb or reinstall the ROM.

I am working today, will try and post a flashable zip this evening.
Ok, put the attached zip onto your sdcard by either using a microsd card reader or using the usb cable and choose to copy files to/from your computer from the running rom.
Then go to magldr > ad recovery and install the test.zip from sdcard, you should get some text followed by update completed.
Restart the rom, set it up, reboot, profit?
