Hi
I recently installed a Sense 3.x ROM from the Sensation XL Android 2.3.5 and I got only 9MB of free space. I have an initrd-patcher for ICS and JB, but I doubt that it will work on older versions of android.
Is there a way to make android 2.3.5 use the EXT4 partition on the SD-card?
Yes, you have to flash an a2sd or DataOnExt script after first boot/flashing the rom immediately. Of course, while having an ext partition created beforehand.

Thanks for the reply. Can you recommend a good script for doing this?
I'd suggest this one, but there's a whole lot of other ones. So if this one doesn't work well or you don't like it, don't come here asking for another one. Instead, go out there and look for the one that you like.

and just a little clue to help out a little bit
its in the second post of the thread that Marvlesz link to
I used initrd_patcher_v2 on Gingerbread 2.3.7 and it's worked fine. So it should work on GB 2.3.5 as well. Remember to make an EXT4 partition on your SD before any installation, via recovery, and remove any script like a2sd from zip ROM.

I tried to search for initrd_patcher_v2 and found this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36049396
I tried running it on my system, but freezes up just before boot-animation.
I use the SENSATION XL ROM V 3.0 STOCK from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316632&highlight=sensation+all+in+one
I can't seem to find any a2sd-scripts in the ROM zip, but there's a sd-ext folder inside the ZIP.

Can you do a fresh installation again of this ROM or you try to keep all you data which you using right now?

I tried from a fresh install, before booting the first time, and also from an aleady configured installation.

You don't understand, I mean can you format you phone and install this rom again with my advices?
Did you made an EXT4 partition of 1GB or more, with Mini Tool (free), on your sd BEFORE fresh installation of this ROM?
I checked your ROM and the script (apps2sd) is already in that ROM so you probably make a wrong Installation.
Sv: Enabling storage of EXT4 on SD-card
I do understand what you say. I made a task29, clk repartition and recovery from hd2toolkit. Under installation the installer asks if I have 1024mb us model or 512mb EU version. I selected the EU version, as this is the one I have. The only question it asks me is if I have magldr or clk.
After that it returns to clk recovery and I press reboot now. I have created the ext4 partition before I even tried installing android the very first time.
If you want, I can perform a new installation with a video recording to document the process

Do not use CLK or HD2toolkit this time.
I will recommend to do in this way, before touch your phone format your SD with GUIFORMAT (look here on XDA for it) in FAT32 normal mode (no quick), after format the SD use Mini Tool and make a ext4 partition of 2gb (2048mb) at the end of the SD, so when you look at the partition the ext partition have to be at the right side of you. Put inside the SD the zip of Sensation XL 3.0 only, do not do anything else with your sd.
Format your Phone with Task29, reboot in Bootloader,
Flash MAGLDR 1.13 for HD2,
From MAGLDR 1.13 via USB Flasher flash the Recovery Touch Beta 8, (I provided you the Recovery ready for you, unzip and flash)
Reboot in MAGLDR,
put the SD into the Phone,
run Recovery,
Do a wipe data and wipe cache partition and wipe dalvick cache,
Install from sd the zip via recovery,
In Aroma do not select any option if you don't know anything about it, the installation will recognize the EXT4 partition automatically and you ready to GO, GO, GO.
Let me know.

I have been attempting to get WP7 working on my hd2, but have given up as I just can't get the thing to activate. So I have been trying to put android back on, but nothing I try installing now comes out bootable. I've even tried putting it back to an official rom before installing (or trying to) android. whereas that rom works, the android install still fails to boot.
Anyone got any suggestions?
which rom are you trying to install? cwm or daf install?
cwm install, imilka's vision sense.
Hi,
I have HD2 with 3.03.0000 SPL, 2.15.50.14 radio, ROM 3.14.479.2 (04666) WWE.
I tried to boot SuperRAM_FroYo_V1.5.
Everything is ok, but when green HTC logo appears, phone is restarting to Windows... Can someone tell me what I need to do to boot Android ? I tried to search, but I dont find answer.
Thanks.
Looking into it farther, it's looking like when i try to install from clockworkmod recovery (3.0.0.5) that I have booting off my sd-card, the install goes far too wuick. it doesn't even create partitions or anything. Could it be the wp7 rom caused some areas of the phone to be 'locked' or something similar?

You have reformatted your SD Card to original size after using WP7, have you? If not, download Panaspnic SD Formatter and format your SD card using that.
Are you guys making sure you have right CWR system layout size for the ROM you're trying to flash? That's usually the problem if it won't get past the first Android bootscreen.

Reformat sdcard

Only use this if just flashing the correct CWR partition won't work. There's also no need to reflash the radio. Task 29 only formats the NAND area.
Yeah, I did a full set of partitions on my sd card. not sure it was needed as wp7 didn't recognise the card.
Depends on which task 29 he finds in his search. Also if this is somehow radio related (seriously doubt) why not reflash it anyways, not gonna hurt. Since we dont know exactly whats wrong why not just redo eveything. Only takes about 5 minutes. And pretty much guaranteed to boot

Full set of partitions? Meaning you've got a FAT32 first partition and a Ext3/4 second partition? What CWR do you have installed though? It might be the wrong size for the ROM you're trying to flash. You can check what size CWR partition you have by opening the flash.cfg file (inside of your CWR folder) and find the line with 'system ya | 300' etc.

Oh. Guessing u have a leo512 and partitioning sdcard for apps2 sd. Wp7 still got ahold of your sdcard and did something.

Yeah. I have the partitions set up as follows
1. Fat32 13gigs (ish)
2. Ext4 1gig
3. Ext4 350mb
3. linux swap 150gig.
the version of my clockworkmod recovery thing is v.3.0.0.5 and is running off my sd card, not actually installed on the phone. This has all worked for me fine until i put wp7 on, now nothing seems to be working. sigh.
Running off your SD card as in the intrid and zImage file are in there? I suggest you just update your CWR to the newest version (1.3). It doesn't need those files to be copied to the SD Card and runs off NAND. In MAGLDR it has it's own menu too. (AD Recovery). For me, I just have a load of different recovery folders with different partition sizes but it's not needed. I suggest you download the 150M CWR and then just change the partition size to whatever is needed. You just change the System ya | -150- to whatever size is needed. It'll probably be in the first post of the ROM you're downloading.

You need to format your whole sdcard. Whatever your using to format isnt seeing everything. Some partition types are only seen by linux. What partition tool are you using?

I used gparted to give it it's fresh lot of partitions
Have you tried what I said to do?
Ok, got recovery flashed in and running out of magldr. When it comes to partitioning the sd card, what is the advantage of 4 partitions over 3, as some rom threads say to partition 4, some say 3.
You mean an Ext3/4 partition? I honestly don't know and I just use an Ext3 partition as it's easier to do on XP. Both work though fine though.
Have you flashed your ROM yet?
Hi, I'm new on this forum, and I already have a problem
I just got my HD2 with android running from the phone. I was an xperia and WM user before, so I decided to give it a try. I'm trying to reset the phone (so I can costumize android) via Settings-Privacy-factory data reset, but it wont work, I hit the button "Erase everything" and noting happens.
Is there any other way to do this, maybe from the "boot manager" (I dont know the proper term for this).
...oh yes, I dont know witch specific rom is installed, I only know it is android 2.3.4
By "running from the phone " I assume you mean nand.
Turn on phone, hold power till get magldr screen, in magldr choose Ad recovery, when clockwork starts choose "wipe data factory rwsst" and "wipe cache" then restart.
yes I tried that before but it says "no boot sources"
so I guess I'm without clockwork...and I guess also this can be installed only when you install a new ROM..

Hi,
Backup your data before you start.
Download THIS TOOL (Don't forget to thank him)
Find your new ROM and determine the new partition size.
In the toolkit highlight Magldr update recovery,choose your size and update.
Then go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced).
Then install ROM.
The new partition + the wiping will thouroughly clean you up .
Tnx for the help, but I think I'm going to put WM back because I just found out that outlook and google can't be synced so easily as I use outlook for everything it's a shame.
Thank you very much for your help.
I use outlook. Myphoneexplorer syncs fine with outlook. (though I don't sync with google since doing so corrupts many of my contacts custom fields)

Hi,
This tool does a lot of the hard work for you.
Remember to back up your data before you start ,because these processes wipe your system clean.
Yes,this tool wipes your device(Not the sd card).
Re-install everything.
Use the tool to re-partition your system:
system ya 390M
cache ya 5M
Then:
go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced).
then install ROM
so to install a new NAND android rom (HD2 CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V3):
i need to have MAGLDR and before that the right radio and HSPL. I already have all of this because I have installed an android rom.
from what I learned today reading all sorts of things on the forum, is that I can install this rom (HD2 CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V3) or any other also without doing all that staff with the SD card and partitions, CWM... or am I wrong? - From the MAGLDR USB flash. for this to work does the rom have to be a special file type or can it be .zip like for the flashing from the SDcard?
...the CWM allowes me to backup and update android, or so I understend it?
but is it possible to install via MAGLDR #4 option and install CWM afterwards?
forgot: this tool kit enables me to do all this: install new MAGLDR, CWM an then I falsh the rom? I don't understand how it works

Some ROMS take 15-20 minutes to install.
aha so if I repartition MAGLDR my device will be wiped an the CWM will be installed. the partition sizes that you suggested are for the rom (HD2 CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V3) that I'm trying to install? (I cant yet post in their thread so can't ask them)
and if I can ask this particular rom can be installed only by partitioning and flashing it by sdcard or also in MAGLDR?

Hi,
Sd card does NOT need to be formatted.
It is best to put the new ROM onto the root of your sd card,USING A CARD READER.
This will avoid any data corruption.

Hello XDA forum,
I recently received my dad's 'old' HD2, and I wanted to get rid of the WM6.5. In the past I've been playing around with some other Android devices, and those were pretty straight forward.
Now, after reading a few guides I tried installing the PARANOID Android ROM through CWM. (I have HSPL 2.08, MAGLDR, CWM etcetera. (I also did a Team29 wipe)) But now I face a problem; When I try to install the .zip file, it prompts me with the following lines:
__________________________
--Installing:/sdcard/PARANOIDANDROID HD2 [v1.5a].zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
__________________________
I have tried every single way of mounting the SDcard and writing the .zip file to it over and over again, but all it does give the same error over and over. (MAGLDR USB Storage, CWM Mounting, Mounting in card reader and so forth.)
Now my question is; Am I doing something horribly wrong?
First of all, once you do a "Team29" wipe, you'd have to reinstall MAGLDR and then CWM.
It's "Task29", and you don't have to do it every time you want to install a ROM.
Now, what Radio are you on? And what is your CWM version? And can you open the ROM.zip on your PC without errors?

Oh ofcourse. I meant Task29. Also, I did reinstall MAGLDR and CWM. The CWM version is v5.0.2.6 and my radio is Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14.

Well, I wasn't sure what to take for that, so I took the default for the Cache(45MB I believe that is in the HD2Toolkit, and for the Partition size I took 200MB)
Also, I tried several SD cards, all giving me the same errors. I also tried to install a Tytung kernel .zip file which gives the exact same error.
After a failed install, select the advanced > report error option in cwm. Then mount your SD card as USB mass storage, get the log from /clockworkmod and post it here.

As I know PARANOIDANDROID HD2 v1.5b, it has 2Mb cache and 150Mb system partition.
For installation follow this, (your sdcard must have clean ext partition or you can create it via recovery mod. And you have to have 2.08.HSPL)
1. do Task29
2. install Radio ROM 2.15.50.14
3. Install Magldr 1.13 (via HD2 Toolkit Magldr button)
4. Install Recovery CWM (2Mb system cache, 150 Mb system Partition, via HD2 Toolkit Recovery Button)
5. Clear cache/Dalvick cache (on recovery mode your HTC)
6. Load your android .zip file in sdcard via Recovery mod.

hello all.
i have HTC desire with stock ROM v 2.2 and i have rooted my phone and flashed the CM10 | Jelly Bean 4.1.2 - v3.1 which supports a2sd script and allow to install many app in the SD-ext partition but there were some problems in the battery drain . video play back flickering and video recorder so i restored my original stock ROM it is very fast and no the jellybean's issues but the only problem is limited internal memory so i need your help to have a2sd script or any script to overcome this problem
thanks.
Use any non sense gingerbread ROM if u want speed + battery life.
I would recommend using milwilds redux or oxygen ROM. They have a2sd built in and activated, so all u need to is flash the rom if you have already made the partition.

You need to flash a stock ROM that comes pre rooted. From there you can install an a2sd script.
I would really recommend a custom gingerbread ROM though. It looks like you just had a bad experience with the new jb ROMs, but trust me the GB roms are good. they are fast, stable, and optimized from a2sd.

1. Partition your sd card using this guide if you havent already done so.
2. Download Mildwild v4.9 based on Oxygen from here. Then copy the zip to your sdcard
3. Reboot into recovery. If you are using cwm recovery do the following: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. If using 4ext recovery go to the wipe menu and select "format all partitions (except sd card)"
4. Then go to install and choose the zip of the rom you previously copied to the sd card. Once it has successfully flashed, reboot
5. Leave it for about 5 minutes to load everything up (the first boot may take up to 10 min so be patient)
6. If you made the partition correctly in step 1, whenever you install an app it will automatically be moved to the sd card ext partition.
@OP, if u r going to use MildWild Oxygen (very good rom) then i would highly recommend changing hboots (if ur s-off) to get the most space for data partition, otherwise ul be wasting over 100mb in system partition.

6. If you made the partition correctly in step 1, whenever you install an app it will automatically be moved to the sd card ext partition.

Thanks Chromium.
but in your opinion what's the best size of created Ext for this Rom and what about swap .am using CWM v4.0.1.4 and have partitioned Sd card on it with 2048m as Ext 3 ?
after flashing this ROM will i use terminal emulator to activate a2sd script or it will activate automatically ??
Sorry for inconvenience chromium

@OP, if u r going to use MildWild Oxygen (very good rom) then i would highly recommend changing hboots (if ur s-off) to get the most space for data partition, otherwise ul be wasting over 100mb in system partition.

I can't understand clearly but already i have Hboot-6.93.1002 and radio-5.11.05.27 is this what u mean ?

First of all dont use cwm to make the partition. Read this guide to learn how to correctly make the partition. You can easily install 4ext recovery which is better than cwm and it will make good partitions. I would recommend a 1gb ext4, and no swap. After flashing the rom, a2sd will be already activated so theres no need to use terminal emulator to do anything.
Jmcclue is suggesting that you use a different hboot (internal memory partition layout). Using stock hboot with mildwilds oxygen rom, you will be wasting more than 100mb on the system partition. If you want to optimize the internal partition layout so that you have the most space on on the data partition, it would be wise to use the cm7r2 hboot, or even one of the custom hboots that jmcclue has made (check his signature).

OK hboot is the layout of partition sizes on the internal memory. There are 3 partitions: system, cache and data.
Stock hboot gives 250mb to system which is way too much because mildwilds oxygen rom only needs 110mb.
Since you are wasting 140mb on system, you get less space on data(to store app data on)
With cm7r2 hboot u get 145mb system partition, and more space on data.
Changing hboot is pretty easy, but i guess u could say its more risky than flashing a rom. Its not mandatory to do it but it would make sense to do so. Its your choice.
If you leave it with stock hboot everything will work fine, but your data partition will fill up faster. If you aren't planning on installing more than 50 apps then stock should be fine. If you want the ability to install lots of apps (more than 50) then install cm7r2.
How many apps do u think you will install?

I will change my hboot but i don't know which one can i install to work with the Rom and the method of installation.
i have read the jcullum's thread of custom hboots and downloaded the custom hboots but there are many files and can't differentiate between them which is the more suitable to my device and which is the proper method for installing it
which i can understand it.is too move any hboot.img from any folder to SD card and flash it from recovery ?
if this right ? i wanna recommendation to the proper one for this ROM and more safe definitely

may be more than 30 app but more of them is small sized app. the big one is Facebook app,messenger,maps,viber,weechat,and whatsapp
the another ones are some widgets and small sized apps plus to officesuite and youtube
No u don't flash any hboot files through recovery. This is how to flash the hboot:
1. Go to http://alpharev.nl/ and download the PB99IMG for the cm7r2 hboot.
2. Once it has downloaded, rename it to PB99IMG and put it on the root of your sd card (not in any folders)
3. Boot into hboot(volume down + power). Wait a bit while it searches for the file
4. When it finds the file it will ask if you want to install. Press volume up to install. The reboot.

Hi,
I am currently using Rom from tyween: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951 and I would like to install a new one from Tytung http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224469 .
My questions:
1. in description of tytungs Rom is stated that NAND version is for USA T-mobile so I assume that with my international version I have to use the other two versions and if so then the only way to install it is using aurora installer?
2. Nevertheless I tried NAND version installed it using CWM but then it got stuck on loading screen, could this problem be solved by this patch? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40623956&postcount=821
3. Is it possible to use Rom Manager to install this Rom? I have only tried CWM method and this one seems also really easy to use.
Thank you for your answers!!!

Nand is divided into two: 1- Pure Nand (EVERYTHING is on the NAND of the device) and 2- Nand with DataOnExt (as the name implies, some of the data will be stored on an EXT partition on your SD card).
Since the international version of the HD2 only has about half a gig of storage, if you fit everything into the NAND you won't have enough space left for you to install apps and whatnot. If you want it on NAND, you need to choose the second option (some data on the sdcard), but you need to make sure you have an EXT partition on your sd card first (if you don't know how to make one, search).
And "aurora" (you mean aroma*) is just a path, it IS like you said THE installer. It's got nothing to do with your installation. It is just a fancy make-up for the old installation method. Yes, you'll have to use it.

No, that patch is for something else. Your problem is different.
If you mean:
1- NAND Only, then you may have not made enough partition space for the system. (Either way, you shouldn't use this one, use NAND WITH dataonext).
but if you mean 1- NAND with DataOnExt, then it is either your partition size is too small or you do not have a proper sdcard ext partition.

It's the same thing. When you select "Install ROM" in ROM Manager, it will actually reboot your device into CWM and you will have to follow the steps of Aroma as well. Yes, you can use it if you have cLK bootloader and not magldr.
You are welcome
According to your answer, I have to download AROMA installer and use it for installing new Rom. In DataOnExt version will 1 Gb partition be enough?

No, Aroma is *included* in the .zip file of the ROM. Just download the ROM, flash from recovery normally but instead of the usual text of procedure, you'll see a fancy screen where you get to configure the ROM before it is installed.
In my opinion, yes, 1GB is more than enough.

CWM is independent from the ROM you install.
If you are talking about "boot into recovery" from within the ROM, that's a rom's feature and does not have to be included in it. You can reach the recovery by rebooting your phone into MAGLDR and then choosing the option AD. Recovery or something like that.
Just to add a little to Marvlesz's answer, reboot into recovery/bootloader on any ROM will just reboot the phone normally if you have MAGLDR. To access CWM just hold power for the MAGLDR menu then select 8. AD Recovery. If you use cLK on the other hand, reboot into recovery does work if I'm not mistaken.
I tried to install this ROM using various settings (DataOnExt / Native SD, wipe/no wipe, magldr / ppp...) but phone always ends up rebooting itself after htc loading screen. I did partition SD card to FAT 32 (primary) and 1GB EXT4 (primary).
What could be the problem and how to solve it?
Thank you!

What /system partition size did you use? Make sure it's big enough for the ROM you're trying to flash.

EXT4 = 1GB. I partitioned SD card with Mini Tool Partition Wizard, then copied Zip on SD card, wiped data (factory reset + dalvik) installed ROM. To me it feels like I did everything according to instructions...

No, not your SD EXT partition, the partition you flashed when flashing CWM.

285. To create that, go to wherever your CWM thing is stored on your PC, open the CWM folder, open the file flash.cfg (not flash.cfg.txt.) in notepad (it should open in this way automatically) then change the value next to the line beginning 'SYSTEM...' from 150 to 285, keeping everything else exactly the same.
