[Q] "Nand or SD card" Android? for htc hd2

Hi everybody
I was wondering which version of Android is better for HTC HD2, is NAND better or the SD card method.
right now i am using the sd card method (but it loads the android in the ram so it is fast) but i dont have allot of ram left and i would like more space on my SD card for other stuff , and also i dont care about windows mobile as long as the nand is stable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870518 (this is the sd card version i m using)
and also another request: if u choose NAND can u all tell me which version to use. (preferance Froyo) but u can say what ever you want.
P.S sorry mods and admins if i m repeating the question that has been asked before

NAND ROM's are just as stable and typically provide a little better performance as far as battery life and responsiveness. As far as what ROM to use it's impossible to say what's best... but I am using Sergio's Core Droid series and it is beautiful as well as very fast, and it has a ton of followers. I would suggest it as one to try out...

I have one on sd still with jdms, and one nand with mdj 2.3 both work nice and both have there problems but if you ever want to remove your sd with the phone on than nand, but to me sd seems the safer bet if you want a everyday build with not a lot of problems.

HD2 LEO (EU) & Sense 3 ROMS -- (Nand vs SD)

I wonder how you people are managing a Sense 3 ROM on the HD2 LEO (EU)...
I flashed a couple of the available Nand Sense 3 ROMs here and all of them were really heavy, I was totally uncomfortable with my HD2, too slow, many glitches, laggy and sometimes hanging :S so impossible for a daily use although Sense 3 is simply tempting ...
To my surprise, I gave a try to a SD Sense 3 ROM (MccMBoxmaX_GS_V_6.5__3D_carousel_effect) and the results were totally incomparable to the Nand Sense 3 version that I've tried..
The question is I don't prefer to use SD ROMs on my HD2 (having to boot Windows first...); so will SD Sense 3 ROMs technically (with their bulky size) be more reliable and faster than similar Nand ROMs or something must have gone wrong with my previous Nand Sense 3 flashing?

something proably with your setup
i have been using sense 3 fora while now and dont see any slowdowns, they are fast and have no issues apart from the known issues of gra[phics glitches and camcorder not working

- Do u have LEO (512) or TMOUS (1024) ?
- How do u partition / prepare your SD card for a Sense 3 NAND ROM? isn't it 1024MB with 0M Swap through MAGLDR ?
- What about your system partition and cash size ? Do you use HD2 Android Nand Toolkit or similars ?
- Do you use cLK or MAGLDR ?
- Is there a clear tutorial how to flash a Sense 3 Nand rom around ? I have no problem with other Nand (non sense 3) roms... like HyperDroid CM7, HyperDroid-GBX, NexusHD2 Gingerbread... BUT unfortunately each has its own set of bugs that made me drop them...
So far my experience with Sense 3 roms is: slowness, lagging, frequent FC (specially during booting).. how are you guys overcoming or surviving with this?

And also, you dont need winmo to run Android from the sd.
SD Android can be run through Magldr directly

You may wanna give this a try...

yes it is a eu leo
ive had 1 gb ext partition since inception of it being used
i use clk
there is no difference flashing the a sense 3 rom to another other using CWM
providing you wipe the partion and data before flashing you shouldnt get any FC
to be honest all the information you need to flash is in the rom creators post, if you are unsure of how to partition etc or flash then i suggest reading all the information thats available

i have a question: whats better, flashing from NAND or SD?
and why?

[Q] boyppc-shiftpda MIUI V12 Data2SD

Hi there
i need to ask a question with regards to the boyppc-shiftpda MIUI V12 update if any one is using it is the ASD2+ working for you am still getting the internal memory of the device even when i used the DATA2SD folder supplied by BoyPPC but still it is not working unlike the DHD Rom by BoyPPC it is working using the DATA2SD folder on root .
i really like MIUI the themes are amazing it is like using a new phon every day but also i need the space for my applications and games so unfortunately i had to stick to the DHD rom hoping to get a solution to make the MIUI use my 2GB EXT3 partition i have on my SD
i got a 8GB SD and the EXT3 created by CWM is 2GB with SWAP size 0m
awaiting your reply

why don't you try the other miui roms,langthang's and ladyboo's miui roms make data2ext quite perfectly.

thanks mutil would u kindly post the two roms threads to try them
the reason i did not try other roms is that i adore BOYPPC roms just wanted to use the MIUI with the apps he provides but am willing to try ur recommended roms
again would be thankful if you can post the two roms threads

but kept stuck on booting screen
i will give the second one a try and will let u know

have you made wipe data /factory reset,wipe dalvik cache from mgldr menu before flashing new rom

[Q] Suggestion for dual boot

Hi guys! I need an advice both from Windows and Android users.
I used to run Gingerbread on my Leo (NexusHD2 by Tytung) with nativeSD, and I didn't update to ICS or JB because I didn't want it to become laggy (I suppose they are heavier than GB).
Yesterday, my sdcard got broken (actually it became write-protected for no reason on earth, and I couldn't find any way to unlock it or format it, even though I tried with every solution I found on the internet), so I just bought a new one, which will arrive tomorrow; I've read on xda that class4 Sandisk cards are the best ones for smartphones, because they have a higher random speed, whereas class6 and class10 have higher sequential speed but lower random speed. So I bought a 32GB Sandisk class4.
ANDROID PART
1) Now, given that card, do you think I will be able to run smoothly Jellybean (if I find a good stable ROM)? Or do you think it is just too heavy? (If I'm not mistaken ICS, JB, Kitkat are all optimized for multi-core CPUs, and we have a single core with relatively low ram...)
2) If you think I can update to JB without having lags as soon as I install a few apps, would you recommend me a good, stable and fast nativeSD ROM? I'm looking for something very basic, without built-in apps or other crap, I just want the simple, original OS and I will install apps that I need later.
WINDOWS PHONE PART
Since I'll have plenty of space now, with 32GB, I thought to give Windows Phone a shot, since I use Windows 8 on my laptop and I've been told that WP is a very light and not power-demanding OS.
So my idea is a dual boot through nativeSD with Android as favourite OS (since it's the one I'm used to) and WP as second OS, to see if it can fit my needs.
Could you recommend me a good, stable and fast nativeSD ROM? I'm looking for something very basic, without built-in apps or other crap, I just want the simple, original OS and I will install apps that I need later. Besides, is there a stable WP8 for HD2 or just WP7?
Thank you very much for any help. I hope to come to a decision today because tomorrow I'll get the new sdcard and I want to do ll the flashing in one time, without having to repartition the sdcard later

hi
i dual booted my hd2 a while ago.
if u want my opinion, windows phone will not come in use.
but! i still have it on my phone.
i use hd2o as winphone and tytung's nexusHD2 v2.7 (android 4.2.2) as nativeSD android. (i have a 16gb toshiba class 4 microsd card)
there is no winphone 8 available so far, and since DFT and a lot of developers are no longer supporting HD2, i dont think it will be available ever!
A lot of people use pedijamas winphone and say its awesome, but i haven't, and i have no time to switch.
kitkat is still beta, and some features do not work. A few days ago I installed nexusHD2 v3.3 (android 4.3) on my friends phone (nand, CLK sandisk 8gb class 10) and it was great.
but!!!!
my android is not that good. its slow and laggy.
conclusion:
1. Do not install winphone and magldr. instead install CLK and android (nexusHD2 is great, i think v2.7 is still better than v3.3)
2. Install winphone, and android. (i suggest install a few androids and see which one works better, i think 2.3.3 will be better though)
3. Install winphone alone, its fast, and by fast, i mean like FAAAST! but, its not android, so apps and ui will make u sick after a while! :S

Thank you for the reply! A few questions:
1a. In Tytung's v3.3, are the WiFi and 3G/HSPDA traffic indicator arrows in the status bar still not working or did he fix them?
1b. Why not magldr? I thought it would be better since it allows to "unlock" the 576MB RAM in EU HD2s (and I see that Tytung himself uses magldr )
2. Is WinPhone available just in NAND? No nativeSD ROMs?

1a: i'm not sure, since i use nexushd2 v2.7, and it works just fine. (also i don't think its a big deal! i never noticed those arrows!)
1b: i dont know how did you find out that tytung uses magldr!!!! i my self use magldr, its great. but i believe if you just want to use android, CLK is a better option. new roms (4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4) wont fit on nand, so you have to make an ext4 partition and put your data on sd. just your system partition goes to nand, so i think it doesn't make any difference to unlock 576MB RAM. and also i don't know if CLK unlocks it or not! (sorry for my lack of info!)
2: i know this one!!!! )
nope, WinPhone is just available on nand, sadly!

Thanks again! Eventually I asked directly to Tytung and he answered me that it was just an aesthetic thing and the he wouldn't fix it because Google themself removed them in the following versions. I installed the v3.3 and so far it's GREAT (like every Tytung's work)!
I guess he's using MAGLDR from what he writes at the end of his threads, but it's just a guess. Anyway, I'm forced to use nativeSD because some time ago I had continuous crashes even after Task29 and fresh install of Tytung ROMS, so I guess I have some bad blocks in my NAND after 4 years of heavy usage. I hoped to give WP a shot because I've read it's blazing fast, but I'll be happy with my JB 4.3 CM 10.2 :laugh:

see, nexusHD2 is still awesome!
lucky me! i never had any problem with my nand!
if you have to use nativesd, it makes no difference if u use magldr or clk.
if you want to install WP, you have to install MAGLDR, but the problem is that it will wipe your sd and partition it to an unknown partition type. so back up your data before ding so!
have fun.
if i helped, i'm glad!

[Q] Im looking ROM to my Leo

Hi
I'm looking rom to my Leo, I want to meet the requirements:
1 was fast and stable
2 working GPS and tethering
3 lot of memory for system
can be simple, what do you recommend? Can I ask for links? Thanks

I am using NDT NAND ROM by Langthang

It all depends. If you're like me and have a EU HD2, your nand memory is small so I suggest a gingerbread build with data on ext. I have tried a number of nativesd including a couple of Tytung's but for me they are too slow for daily use.
Perhaps I am spoilt as I was running WP7 before which is lightning fast. Also you don't need a super fast sd card with WP7.
With the NDT rom, it is MIUI which I really like and also the FM radio works. I use Barnacle for tethering which is fast, as long as you don't mind only WEP security. Speed is pretty good, I am using a class 10 Lexar microsd card. Have not tested the GPS much. I'm using the Tytung kernel version.
Again if its performance you are after, WP7 seems like it was made for this phone, as much as I love android...

Maybe someone will add something else

same here
I am in need of one cause my hd2 movistar spain is really buggy to the point that when I hard reset it the accounts stay my device! Please this is my first HTC so please be gentle. LOL

well, fast and stable builds - it's a nand roms. This is a rule.
So, look at hyperdroid(2.3.7) and one of my projects(4.0 125 mb system). If u wanna later versions of android...u should have more memory for system and data, i think.
