[POLL] Sense of Eclipse for T-Mobile HD2 - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Since last time I created poll attached to main dev thread I had to persuade forum admins to remove poll when no longer needed which took almost half a year, so I decided to create separate thread for each new poll I create...
So the first poll is about future of storage modes, basically I need to know if users with T-Mobile HD2 with 1GB NAND are using NAND-only mode or are using EXT partition.
Vote in poll and leave comments if you want to provide further feedback.

I don't want to poll my option 'coz it will obviously be biased
That said, I have always used some form of a2sd even before the DataOnEXT idea because the remaining space was not enough for all the apps I had, and I didn't want to be restricted on what I can install or not because of the space. Also, NAND bad blocks have always been on my mind - both my TMoUS HD2 have them - one has 7, the other 9

I hope this doesn´t mean you will abandon support for EU models
I just love your work guys :good:

Whenever I use a large Sense build I use only NAND. I tried using a2sd and d2sd but there was always something that made me hate it.
My opinion on Phoenix idea is that I would love to set my system partitions to max and never have to hook it up to a computer again since I don't get reliable service on clk I am stuck with MAGLDR as it is.

no I will not...but since I am planning quite big changes that start with DataOnEXT, I need to know what variants will I need to support, because, honestly, under certain circumstances it is really hard to support everything

[Q] Simple question - NAND & Android on HD2 - Why we still cannot get working NAND v.

[Q] Simple question - NAND & Android on HD2 - Why we still cannot get working NAND v.
Well, my question is simple :
Why we still dont have NAND version of Android ?
Is it problem with .... drivers or anything else ?
Please tell me what is the problem. Why its so hard to develop working NAND Rom ?
screen orentation sensor makes the screen lag ... and there are still some major bugs
Why is there so much craving for a NAND version?
What's wrong with having Android running from the SDcard?
As long as that still doesn't function 100% (screen/g sensor/footprints in sense etc..), why would you want to have a Nand version? I doubt that that will actually change anything.

I guess the myth is if it's NAND then battery will be better which I really doubt.
Sorry but it's not an answer.
Many people want to have Nand version and it's their choice , but
it could be a good idea to tell us why there is so many problems
to create this kind of rom.
What parts are missing ....
What needs to be compiled ...
What to repaired...
Need some tech informations about this .
Who knows , many people is to busy to try create whole rom , but
there is many of us who knows programming and could Help .
But if someone will tell us what is a biggest problem ...
Linux was creating by many people , so maybe this time we can find solution together ?
Do a search!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
So what if i will use search.
I will get 2,000 posts with small ammount of answers.
Will be easier if any dev will completly with details
answer this question.
It will stop another 2,000 posts to occur .
Many questions - one answer.
It isn't working because only a handful are working on it while the rest whine and think a lame post begging for an eta will motivate the devs. If you want it done pick up a book and start learning about linux coding. It isn't done yet because nobody tries on their own.
Just because the initial development was lightning quick doesn't guarantee it will all tidily come together at the same rate.
Do you remember what appeared on your HD2 when you first turned it on? Windoze f'ing mobile. Be grateful for what you have.
To motivate the coders even a bit more you could create a "Who will be the 1st Android NAND coder" thread where users can donate cash for the price money.
The 1st coder who does so will win the cash.
Me.. I've donated cash already to some of the coders here, and I can wait till we have a stable good working version.

You know ... it could be a great idea .
If someone trusted will keep grand prize for this so why not ???
First person that will make a working rom will get a BIG PRIZE ....
might work .
After testing, if we see that it really works ....
I could donate if someone will start something like this.
I don't know how fair it would be to say the first to make an android would get the prize... Most likely it will be a cook making the rom using the work of many developers. It will be the same group of devs that got android working in the first place that will get it working on nand.... Dcordes, cotulla, netripper, etc... Might as well just donate. I'm sure it will be a group effort by them.
Nand is difficult because we will need a lot of new drivers to initialize the hardware... Right now winmo is used to initialize most hardware for android. I don't understand why you think it shouldn't be difficult... Look at other winmo devices that can run android... Only 2 out of a dozen can even boot from nand... And the nand versions are less functional than the versions run from sd card. It takes a LOT more work to get everything working on its own from nand without winmo to initialize hardware. I would expect the same with the first versions of nand booting for the hd2 also.... It will probably be nowhere near as functional as booting from sd until a lot of development is done. Be patient... It could be a long time before we have a nand bootable android that's anywhere as stable and functional as the sd bootable builds we currently have. I also doubt that speed or battery life will be much better with nand, if at all. We have great speed & batteries with our sd versions already... It will be hard to beat that with new nand versions, especially since many drivers for nand will probably have to be made from scratch. But you never know... We have some great devs and I've already been surprised with what they've accomplished.

I guess you'll have to wait until the day you hire your own Android HD2 developer, then you can have them working on things that -you- want.
seriously, I'm not being sarcastic. I'm actually pondering about creating some sort of donations thread just to fix particular problems.
But, because this is a community driven effort, we are at the mercy of whatever developers/chefs want to have. If you don't like that, you may want to consider becoming a developer/chef yourself..

I'm actually quite happy with my HD2 running off of SD... It's actually faster than WM 6.5! Everything I have tested works including hotspot. Running mccm 1.5 with chuckydroid ROM
And I have the best of both worlds...Android and WM 6.5!
i was wondering how everybody feels about switching the two oss...place wimo on the sd and run android from nand...so you still have both. because from what ive been reading, having both oss on the nand is out of the question, unless you have a us hd2 that has more internal memory....just a thought

There is no android app to shut down android and launch windows kernel, so that possibility is very far away if it's even possible. First they would need to get android booting off nand, which is a ways off, then a haret type app would need to be written for android that can launch the window ce kernel, which may be very difficult because windows is not open sourced, and then a version of winmo that will work with that will need to be developed.
I don't see this as being very likely to happen. If you want nand android, you're going to lose winmo.
Personally, I don't see why everyone wants to boot android from nand... It works so well from sd and you get to run multiple os on your phone. And looking at the history of nand booting android on winmo phones, the nand versions are usually less functional and don't really improve speed or battery that much. Doesn't seem worth it to change a multiple os superphone into a subpar android-only phone. But that's just me.

I guess the simple question would be why? What do you gain from that setup compared to what we have today? You'd still get 2 OSes, but with a -lot- more work I presume.

i prefere sd card over nand ,easy switch between roms ,ihave 4 different roms on my sd card

Interested In Android?

I have been running Froyo for three days now as my primary phone Operating System. Although NAND is not available and may never be for the HD2, 99.9% of everyday functionality is.
At this moment, the only thing I can think of that doesn't work is WiFi tethering, which is not a big deal for me.
I thought about writing a tutorial along the same lines as my others; a simple, step-by-step method for locating, downloading, installing and running Android on our T-Mobile US HD2, but I am not sure that there is enough interest here.
Before anyone points out that there are such tuts over on the Leo forum, I would like to mention that they are poorly written and confusing for a complete newbie. I believe that I can do a much better job myself.
If I get 10 positive responses to this thread, whether by poll or by reply, I will write the tut. Negative responses will not count, but are welcome.
I think a simple step by step walk through is a great idea!

newbie in need
I will jump on this band wagon...I would love to see a step by step guide to Android for my HD2 t-mobile us. I just got a 32g sandisc and thought about using my original 16g for Android. Can you advise me?
Thanks for the thread
I have already installed android myself. Was alot of reading before I felt comfortable to try. You are right, the documentation in the Leo HD2 forum can be overwhelming. Give it a go, I am sure it will be appreciated!
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I voted yes.. I was curious: what is the difference between running android on a normal hd2 vs the tmobile hd2? I just flashed a bios and radio on my us tmobile and I was about to attempt to run FroyoStone_Sense.
Android????
I thought about doing the android on hd2, but like you said, it seems to confusing, and dangerous, i don't want to brick my phone, and would i have to use another sd card just to run android on my phone. I am just safe running spb mobile shell along with htc sense that came with my hd2, i don't know, help me.
yes
yes - i would be interested in a tut for the tmo hd2
I think it's a great idea... Reading is important, but a lot of people here aren't that technical and I think that they do get lost in some of the verbiage used in the posts...
Please
I personally would greatly appreciate it. I fried my first HD2 playing with Android a few weeks ago. HTC was kind enough to send me a replacement unit. Long story short I would prefer not to make the same mistakes.
Good Idea
I think its a good idea i learned years ago how to flash phones and create different partitions on your sd card for different roms, but i did jack up my fair share of sd cards during the process, luckily never a phone lol. I think it would be good for other people to not have the same amount of issues. Been running android for months on my HD2 tried every flavor, but with recent releases it is finally good enough for everyday use.
Thanks!
Thanks to everyone who responded! The results were overwhelmingly positive, all the replies were "yes" and all but 1 of the 18 polled agreed as well.
As promised, I will start the tut immediately (flashing my phone now and will re-install Android in a bit to ensure I have the steps right) and it should be up this evening or tomorrow morning.
Moderators: Please feel free to lock this thread out and let it die, it has served its purpose
can't wait to try it out. Anyway to backup the current phone before flashing to android?

We aren't "flashing" per se. Your Phone's ROM is untouched, you just install and run Android from the SD card. When Android starts, most of Windows Mobile is shut down (I'm not 100% sure of the whole process, sorry) and Linux is loaded, which runs Android. If it helps, you could think of it as full-screen Emulator, but Android takes over fully.
I sync to Google via Exchange (see my sig for the link on how to do it yourself) and when I switched to Android, my contacts were also added along with the FB stuff that I added back in Sense on WinMo.
By the way, this thread is officially dead. I did indeed write the tutorial and it's in my sig as a link as well.
Hope this helps!

[Q] I know we have to be patience for NAND, but....

Hi,
I know we have to be patience for NAND Android on HD2. But it would be nice if we could get some indication when it's done. 6 Months? 2 months? Within a month?
I don't want to be rude, I just looking forward to it. And I respect the designers that are working on it. Kudos.
I don't want to be rude too.. but Cotulla promised to release the nand thing in september but look at the Calendar now
He couldn't keep the word ?
I'm just being so noobiie right.. but anyway, i had to explain my self.
i can calculate, it's posible take another one or two monts more...
Maybe on chrismas, like a present =3

No he didn't, he said there would be an announcement in September, which there was. People read too much into his statement and assumed nand would be released.
Nand will be ready when it's ready. Good things come to those who wait.
We should be just happy that we have great versions and so many different builds of android available. No other phone in the world can do this.

Probably the only really noticeable thing will be it will boot up quicker from being off. It will replace winmo on the phone so you don't have to boot up winmo. I don't think it will noticeably change anything else. Some people think it might... but everything runs from ram anyways, whether its stored on nand or SD card. From what some of the devs have been saying, it sounds like nand may actually run a little slower. Either way, I don't think it's worth losing winmo and the capability to run both OS's to turn the hd2 into just another android phone. If I wanted that I would get a native android phone.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Yet again, I say:
A phone (or any device, for that matter) is not designed to run its operating system (regardless of its nature or complexity) from an external mass storage device (such as memory sticks, external hard drives or SD cards in our case) because the I/O operations the apps use consume much more power than they would if everything would run from NAND. What I mean by this is that I expect a NAND Android to consume at least 15% less battery than it does right now. I may be wrong, but from what logic tells me, I`m pretty much right.
Besides, if we had Android running on NAND, we could properly use the reboot option.

does MAGLDR gave us what we expected?

now it is one week since magldr was released, thanks to DFT.
it was like the end of the year gift to us, we were very happy (and we still happy) because it really bring our HD2 to life again, one day before the release of MAGLDR i was thinking of replacing it with Desire because and that because SD/RAM builds was not stable and even if it is stable it will not last more than one month before start giving FCs etc...
i opened this thread (i hope it is in the correct section, and if it is not i am sorry about that MODs will move it) to share our opinions about nand roms, is it stable as we were expect, are you happy with it or not, if no please let us know why.
for me i am very happy with it till now, it is stable, fast and reliable, and we dont need to boot into 2 os every time we are restarting the phone, and i think HD2 Became an android phone.
I think it's incredible what DFT were able to accomplish. After NAND hit, I sent Cotulla a donation, and have been trying to figure out who else to donate to for their hard work.
As far as NAND, I haven't noticed a major difference in the quality of the builds (SD vs NAND). I think it's probably there, but I'm not technically knowledgeable to notice the difference. I hear some people say the battery life is better, but I still end up plugging my phone in every night to recharge it anyway. The one nice thing the SD builds had was that it was very simple to compare builds in case there were problems with one. I could have one build stored away in a folder called 'Android2' while I dinked around with another build to test things out. It's not a huge deal (and I could probably get Titanium Restore... er, whatever it's called, backup?), but it was simpler to just move around folders.
Anyway, WM sucked so bad, I'm very much happy to rid my phone of it. I'm thankful to all of the developers who made my phone MUCH better than it originally came as (this includes WM ROM developers obviously).
Oh... and I think this thread should've gone into the 'HD2 Android General Discussion' section.

Guess MODS have to do some extra work

Very much agree. For 1, wrong forum. This is development not 'how do you like this new feature'. More, 'how do we make this new feature work'.
Anyway, I love the NAND, and you are right, the SD was alot more convient to test and use new builds. Copy the folder and launch. Cant get easier than that indefinitly.
Although, the SDcard is not made to be read/written that many times. The SDcard itself, AND the SD reader in the phone were not made to be used that much.
The hardware im sure has got ALOT better since the G1 days, but this is exactly how my G1 died. Back in the day we used the SD to swap files, and used the ext3/4 to give the G1 a boost. Needless to say, the phone wouldnt read ANY sd card after like 8 months I think it was. Thats when I had to get a new phone because we had it so you needed the SDcard to flash a new build and w.out it, the phone could never be updated.
So my opinion? The phones come with NAND for a reason. Lets use it . Use MyBackup or Titanium and youll be okay. The flash doesnt take too long, AND its just like a REGULAR ANDROID .
THANKS DEVELOPERS! You saved me $500 and my SDcard slot.
Well, well, well. Happy to leave my comment here 'bout NAND.. This is Dream come true and the best that ever happened to my lovely HD2. With NAND, my HD2 has been on daily use without any single fault or malfunction. It works very well and the battery life is very very very GOOD. I really don't know how to start thankin' DFT and all those who put their efforts, ideas, time, compromise and and and.. THANKSSSSSSSSS. I'm done with testing NAND and now up toooooooo Donate. They deserve it.
I have not noticed any difference with nand, all the same issues still exist, but now its more inconvenient to change builds, mod system files, change kernels, etc.. Battery life is no different compared to SD. Boot time is not shorter compared to dual boot with EBL. From a developing stand point magldr is a milestone, but from a usability/practical point, its underwhelming. I think RAM smokes nand by far and wish more development is put towards RAM. I'm anxiously waiting for DS's nand+ram.

Just nit picking a little, but there will never be a "nand + ram" as you say. The ram build loads the build into ram memory, thereby making it analogous to the rom memory. In nand, the build uses ram in much the same way your normal computer does. Therefore, even if it was possible to do a nand/ram build (anything is possible for darkstone, really), I don't see the benefit because you would have less ram to work with, and rom read/write speed is actually slower than many sd card read/write speeds.
Back to topic! Only time will tell, but i think the best thing about nand is, as another user pointed out earlier, data stability. So tired of having to reload apps after a week or two because the build craps out on me.

Im loving MAGLDR and what it has brung to the table but there iw one disappointment in that as far as I can remember it was said by cotulla or somebody else that we would have option of keeping WinMO on NAND and booting Android from SD via MAGLDR instead of via WM.
I kind of liked the idea of having that additional option also.
But its no big loss really and im just happy to have the ability to boot directly into android

I'm satisfied with NAND. SD versions were a ton of fun to test and switch, which I did like crazy....however I've found a NAND flavor that is deathly fast, stable on which everything works (TMOUS) and battery life is better than average.
can i just ask - what would be the point of MAGLDR having a WM 6.5 boot feature if a 6.5 rom boots just fine without magldr? its not like WM will run from SD card..... ?
it would be a pain for WM chefs (me included) to re-tool and create MAGLDR compatible ROMS when our current methods work just fine. Remember, MAGLDR is just a flash away at any rate.....
Yes !!! I got my expectings pleased with nand and all the things are working on mdeejays HD Revolution,and battery is so good-i might say-better than with winmo on it...
Thanx to DFT for MAGLDR and mdeejay for all the goodies with his roms

We need a ROM Bible

Hi there all, I dont want to upset anyone but there are so many roms too download and there too much to read trying to find one thats suits. Could someone start a thread Bible listing :-
- Type of rom ie CM7, sense etc.
- Memory consumption ie does it require an SD card partition, how much mem left after install on a 512mb or 1024mb NAND?
- Extras supported by Kernel ie cifs, Ext4 etc etc
This would make it easy to narrow down to a few roms when looking for specific things.
Anyway if no likes the idea no doubt this will disappear .

Do we need that? IMHO it will waste time.
It is better to experience each rom by oneself.
I remember at the beginning of the rise of HD2. I flashed every ROM every day
Now, is the beginning of the dawn of HD2. Custom ROMS are not as many as before to flash.
I now only flash one or twice a month
Cheers
Don't think, that anyone will take the time and make such a "ROM Bible" u asking for.
Have a look here, may be that's usefull for you:
http://android.hd2roms.com/
The most popular roms for HD2 are typhoon cm7 from twyeen, hyperdoid cm7 from pongster and the NexusHD2 from tytung.
If you sort the topics by the count of posting you will see that these roms got most of them...so you can nearly ensure that this roms are stable/smooth/ bugfree etc. and also suits to your needs.
Tested all three of them, all of them are nice roms, but I like the cm7 mod an always up2dated rom, so typhoons rom fity perfectly for me.
Consumption of all three is between 2 and 5 mah.
Which rom you will prefer you have to test yourself.

It is beneficial. But is it worth it? Personally, if you want one so badly, then why not do it yourself? Can't always be relying on people, can you?
Fair Comment I would not know where to start. I notice most chefs dont list all the info so with out testing every single one or asking them all I would be lost.
This idea comes up every few months, and has done since time immemorial, in all the different phones threads, (there are probably 5 or 6 threads with the same idea in the hd2 winmo section, i wouldn't be surprised if there isnt one lurking in the wp7 section by now) and they rarely ever go anywhere. Sometimes they get started, but tail off after a month or two.
The problem is usually one of two things.
Either
a/ you are relying on all/most of chefs to update some database somewhere, , , which 99% of them won't do, , , they spend far too much time building the next rom, eating cake or sleeping,,,
or
b/ you are relying on updating the database yourself, which means you are flashing all the roms anyway, and several times a day, especially with teh nightly cm7 builds, which come out every day or two,, which is kinda what you wanted to avoid.
There are some almost lists, such as the one in post 3, but thats probably as good as it will get.
From my experience id say overall that Hyperdroid CM7 by Pongster is most definitely the best of them all, as regards Froyo id say Sergio Coredroid 1.6 is the best there but Gingerbread (not Ginger sense too buggy) on the HD2 is the way to go although ill be selling my HD2 when i eventually purchase the Samsung Galaxy S2.

Well I think it is fair to say everyone else is a human being, like you. Most of us go to school, have a job, a social life, etc. Meaning, like you, we are all constraint by time. So, like you, all of us would be lost too, if we do not test them all, and as said, do we have the time? So, it still narrows down, are you willing to do it yourself?
Well as you said time can be an issue, if there was a way to get the Chefs to give me the info I would happily spend the time to put it all together for everyone.
hehe, and we're back to being dependent on the devs spending time, albeit just a few minutes, several times per week, filling in a DB.
It was just an idea I know the devs work hard. Just delete the tread, I kinda thought it might upset some.
