[Q] A couple of questions ??????? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

So i have a list of stuff that i couldn't do so im seeking ur guys help !!!
1. How to use more than 445 mb of system size when partitioning ...
i use magldr 1.1.3 and when i flash TWRP i modify the flash.cfg file and i write for example
500 mb in system and 10 mb for recovery and 44 mb for cache
...what do i need to do use more than that i always use [datatoext] so i really don't use the onboard nand
correct me if im wrong but its only used for system date and cache right ... or is cache take a part in the ram nand
2. what ever rom i use it always shows 410 mb of ram will im using a 1042 rom / 576 ram t-mobile HTC HD2 with
t-mous radio version 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14 so is it right or is there missing ram ..
3. I have used a lot of roms like each pixilfreak rom ,parnoid android , slim rom , miui roms ,aokp roms
and i have 120 / 130 mb ram usage with custom launchers like adw , nova ,apex .. good right !!
4. How do i know for sure that the 200mb swap partition that i created is being used ...
.. and then an of subject question i have a nokia lumia 920 so is wp on the hd2 any where close to that i know that the difference is like
moon and sun but i just want a couple of views cause i want to try wp 7 on the hd2 but i don't like one bit of it ..
and the 920 i gave to my sis just so u know *

1- 445mb is maximum for any hd2 (eu or tmous) afaik, never seen someone using more on tmous so i don't think it's possible
2- it's 576mb ram, but android shows 410 because parts of it are for video memory (128mb i think) and the rest is for system/kernel etc so you can use 410mb
3- is 3 a question?
4- that depends whether you created the partition correctly, and if the rom SUPPORTS swap (it should be an option in installer)

thanks man for the fast repely this were just stuff going thru my mind that i wanted to clear ..
any how the swap partition is right because i use lubuntu linux as my main computer system
and i have a swap on that and also i have partitioned my sdcard with the gparted app .
i just wanted to know if there is a tool to monitor swap usage in android :cyclops::cyclops:

well i don't know about that
but there are 2 commands, swapon and swapoff in terminal emulator which you can use but they need linux knowledge and i never used them before so try google-ing for what you want to know

your phone is using the onboard nand constantly, since that is where the system is running from.
Re:swap - personally i only use roms that either don't offer swap, or have the ability to choose not to activate it. The (usually very small) performance gain is hugely outweighed to my mind by the increased load/decreased life of the sd card.

I had tried this too, actually this is wipping the space totally, but i feel my internal memory got partitioned i guess,i need to remove whole partitions inside and create a new one.
So are there any tools for working on partitions, please please help me.
brothers please give me a solution, hope some where there will be a tool for this. It will help me lot in getting my internal memory. Please provide me your valuable suggestions

Thanks for you reply RayHeath, yes right now i flashed with the factory rom.
First i wiped everything by task29, then i flashed with the factory rom tracked by my serial number.
Even thoug Only 162.42 MB i can see in Total storage, if you have the same device can you please check with yours how much its showing please.
Imp note : in settings --> about phone ---> hardware information , i can see RAM SIZE : 576MB & FLASH MEMORY SIZE : 512 MB
ARE THE VALUES CORRECT
when you perform task29 you have to flash magldr again, did you think about that?
I think with task29 also partitions will be deleted...when you are able to install stock winmo rom you must be able to flash any other rom. At least mdjs cm7 should work when you try an android rom because it uses less memory than winmo.

First thanks for your reply, Task29 wil not remove partitions, it wil wipe fully thats what i can conclude after my 2 days of investigation, the harware information which shows the values as 576 MB & 512 MB are fine. even i agree with you, as it is giving the values of hardware present on phone.
can you give me once your values @ settings ---> SD Card & Phone Storage please, then i can explain you more clear.
My values : Total Storage : 162.42 MB Urs :
Total Program : 208.20 MB Urs:
If any one have the same model with 512MB please provide me the inputs, usefull for investigation

I think you have to add these two (Storage and Programm) because winmo seperates?! Please, correct me if I'm wrong^^
I can tell but it would be useless because I'm using Android w/ data2ext
btw: I'd wp7 on my device 3 times and I always could get back to Winmo, Android or whatever. Maybe you should try to install magldr 1.13 and cwm 400mb. I don't think that your nand has gone

You are right. Task29 does wipe everything. He was having problems with his internal storage.
Naughty, first he´s right, you should now flash the MAGldr 1.13. Then choose an Android NAND Rom from whoever you want. Most of the cooks have included the CWM already with the right size. It would definately be easier for you using one of them. I personally use CorDroid. It´s fast and used doesn´t use that much of the internal space on the HD2. And a lot of eye candy. And again very very FAST. Okay?

Yes, those values are ROM and RAM... the ROM, or internal storage seems right, I think, because a lot of the internal storage is taken up by the operating system. The RAM seems a little low, though. Some of the RAM isn't shown because it is used by system and radio, but you should still have a total of 300 or more, I think. I can't remember what the numbers are suppose to be exactly. Try asking in WinMo section what their numbers are for the totals.
What WM rom did you flash? I have heard there's a problem with build 3.14 and HSPL, I think if I remember right. If that's the stock rom you flashed, you should probably try a different stock ROM or just task 29 and go directly to MAGLDR and whatever android or wp7 rom you want.

thanks for your reply, i just dropped in Winmo and waiting for inputs....
I Flashed with 3.14.707.3 (04666) WWE, before this itself i had problem with it. I am not remembering , i tried for "DL.DesireZ.v3.4.final.nand" and also "Motoman234_MyTouch4G_V3.1_DAF" after WP7... from here i am seeing this problem.
Before WP7, i loaded "Motoman234_MyTouch4G_V3.1_DAF" just for review and it worked fine, but now due to less phone memory after flashing HTC SENSE itself is not loading "its force closing" nothing i can do just loop of this force close. So i concluded that there was some partition operation went accidentally, and now there is only 162.42 MB partition available for phone memory to use totally.
Are there any tool to work on phone memory partitions..??? i tried task29, clockwork recovery where i went for advance & wipe options too.

Okay, try the CoreDroid Rom. All of the apps will be installed automatically on sd card and you don´t need to worry about you internal memory. Here´s the link. By the way please read!

Hippeee....Hurrrraayyyy....!!!
Total Program came to 336.17 MB, i removed HSPL and i got this.
But sir still i have one doubt, Now My RAM Size is showing 448MB, where before i had saw it as 576MB. How come suddenly it had been decreased. any idea...what should be the exact value of RAM Size should be in harware information...??
FYI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11286863&postcount=6
Stock rom doesn't let the users use the full 576 ram. It will save some for the system.

[Q]What's the different between (512Mb & 1Gb) data file running Android from sdCard??

[Q]What's the different between (512Mb & 1Gb) data file running Android from sdCard??
Good day everybody,
I just want to know [Q]What's the different between (512Mb & 1Gb) data file running Android from sdCard??
because I'm having problems with running the MDJ FroYo HD v.4.6 in 512 Mbyte HTC HD2 version, such as;
- freezing
- slow movement while browsing the menu
- can't access the Market where it always saying that the username or password is wrong
while the same Android ROM is running smoothly on the T-Mobile HD2 version without any single problem and very fast.
both phones, the T-Mobile HD2 version and the HTC HD2 512Mbyte version are updated to the latest Radio (2.15.50.14) and Microsoft Windows 6.5 ROM (3.14.531.1)
any hints??
512Mb & 1Gb data files are simply the amount of space u'll be taking off d sd card for android apps & data installations...So d bigger,d more space you'll have for your android and less space on your sd card for things like music, ebooks, images etc...
IMHO....1GB & above is highly recommended so u don't have low memory issues after tossing android on your sd card..This is cuz u might end up needing more apps & some apps lyk high-end games do tk up a lot of space.
As for speed differences between the two Leos...Well d TMobile Hd2's more buffed up and so..........U might want 2 try lighter android builds cuz d HD versions are some what heavier....Also your choice of Memory card class & capacity also helps...i'd recommend an 8GB Class (4)...
The Data.img isnt your problem anyway your problem is that you are trying to use a very old and outdated rom that was never very good to begin with

hi
what kernel do you use?
try the hastarin 8.6 kernel. i used to have similar problems (i mean laggy phone) and the kernel kind of sorted it out (i use the same android build as you do). maybe it'll help you (i don't know if it's gonna help market problem but i think 'freezing' might be cured)

And I do remember that when I un-rar the ROM file, there was a kernal folder but I didn't use it because I don't know how!!!
Whould you please upload me the kernal you're using or give me the link you download it from??
Would some tell me how to install the new kernal ???
Regarding the Market issue, just don't worry about it " I was entering the wrong pass " Many thanks

Swap the SD cards between the phones and try again.
If it follows the SD Card (and you're sure the setup is EXACTLY the same) it's your SD
It could be a bad SD or you may just have to delete/recreate the partition and format it.
Your phone are also different. I'm not sure it's just the mem size, some chip could be differents, drivers...

Yes u'll have only 1GB dedicated to android and all apps...By this i mean it'll show up as available "phone" memory (just think of it as a virtual drive but in reality it takes physical space 4rom ur sd card)...I.e..using an 8GB mem card? Phone storage will read 1024MB while SD storage will read abt 6.xxGB...
Yes, if u move apps 2 sd it'll mk a difference but i think 1Gb is enuf for apps and u don't really need 2 move apps 2 "sd" storage as it might cuz slight speed issues since u r running android from d "same" mem card.

copy it into android folder
find the root folder from the kernel zip
place the folder onto android

Hd2 nand unlock

Will there be any chance of someone unlocking the full 1 gig on T-Mobile us version?
sent from bigfdaddy
It is already unlocked, it also depends on what you mean by "unlock" .
If you mean on Windows Phone 7. There is no current way to do that, and I doubt that there will be any . Because WP7 uses the SD-card as internal Storage so it is doubtful that it'll use both NAND and SD. In Android, it is unlocked and Tmo users get more space after they flash an android ROM.
Well when u install any rom on you're nand using mgldr or clk it only uses 512 of you're nand.my question is anyone developing or going to use the full 1 gig on our T-Mobile us version....
sent from bigfdaddy
Most roms have the tmous option what uses the full 1024mb....
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Mgldr doesn't allow use of the full 1024 as they stated it set at 512 since it works for both T-Mobile us and euro HD....but I wonder if clk uses full 1024 and if so then y have to sd-ext, or ap2sd...
sent from bigfdaddy
I have the same question as OP do. When you repartition NAND for MGLDR or CLK the biggest option are 400MB and 450 MB respectively. That will left about 500MB unused for TMOUS1024, is there some way to use all available space for TMOUS1024 ?
When you partition 400/450, that space is used by the rom, the remaining space on the tmous will be used for internal storage

That's not true,
tmous ROMs have full use of 1gb ROM, that's why you don't have to have sdext like you do in some eu roms.
Ok well it was just my understanding that magldr only uses 512 and same with clk....I've been hearing about bad Nan blocks caused by constant flashing on basically half our nand....also if this was the case why do we need to have android files installed on the SD card y not all internally like a true android phone?

Ok but u say the rest is used for apps Wich isn't true for example the desire hd and sense 3.0 rom size is 420mb give or take it.that means for us tmobile us users it would leave almost 500mb left in nand.....so if u have almost 500 MB left their would be no need for ap2sd or sd-ext as a must....instead it shows nand being almost full after installing...

I am not sure you understand how it works. Of course you can install Android on NAND - there is a whole separate section dedicated to NAND only. You also have an option of installing to SD, in case you might want to run 2 OS and alternate between them. I have Android NAND installed and must say, it runs as if it always belonged. And you do get to install everything in NAND, most of my apps are installed that way, I will only move something if I will start running out of space, but the way it is, I still have a while to go...
TMOUS uses 1024 to store BOTH, your NAND install, should you choose to go that way, AND your programs, just select the ROM compatible with TMOUS. It's not like you get NAND partitioned to waste the remaining 512Mb.

that's not true, go ahead and take out your SD card and boot up android NAND, it will run just fine. On ANY android phone, it saves some files/folders on SD on boot to utilize, not just the HD2,
But to run Android it does not need any files on SD. With CWM flashes over cLK, it basically is a "true" android device.

I took my regular card out last week and replaced it with one where I have movies only, a whole collection of just movies. And... nothing happened. The phone will create folders for additional storage, depending on setup, most likely, but it's not imperative to have the card to run Android off NAND. You install off SD originally, so will have Android installation files on it to begin with, once installed - swap cards, do whatever.
It will be another story if you had some apps moved to SD for whatever reasons of your own, then sure, you will need to have your card in to run those apps. If you have wallpapers stored on SD - same thing. But if you install Android to NAND, your entire NAND will be used without any not being available to you or partitioned in a way that will 'lock' half of available internal memory, which is what your original question was about. I have 479Mb of internal memory listed as available and none on SD. When I install anything to my phone it is installed to internal memory. The only things that needed my SD memory to be available were books.

[Q] Low internal memory, no keyboard, no market

Hey folks,
i set up my HTC HD2 with this Android (Coredroid 1.7) Version. Now i got at least one problem.
As i tried to start my phone, he said he's got too less internal memory (~ 576 KB). And that's where my problem(s) start(s). It's not possible for me to sign up for the MarketPlace, because i don't have a keyboard popped up (I guess because of too less memory - the set up of the phone (at the first start) also aborts when i try to type with the keyboard). My idea was to install App2SD to get some apps from internal memory to my SD Partition. But as I just said, i can not connect to the market. It's a vicious circle, seems at least like this to me.
I also read it could be a problem of a too big data.img, but actually I did not use my mobile at all so the data.img should be nearly virgin.
Would be nice if somebody got an idea, already asked in other (german) forums but just got the tip to install a "smaller" rom, but i would like to try CoreDroid (which should work for HTC Leo/HD2).
Best Regards
What size cwm partitions are you using?

Do you mean the ext3 Partition on the SD-Card? I configured it with 1024MB, The Fat32 should be ~3GB. Hopefully this wasnt such a nooby answer
No, he means size of the Clockworkmod / a.k.a. system partition that your ROM requires... it's ROM specific...
But as I recall, coredroid has a somewhat odd way of installing it, it does this automatically...
Don't know what's up with your phone :/ , you can try another ROM (like TyphoonS) that has a step by step clean install instruction...
Ok, got it. But as you said, i used the flash.cfg from the Coredroid_1.7_Instructions.zip, extraced it together with the DAF.exe in the same folder and flashed Coredroid with the DAF.exe. Perhaps i try to adress another size than 390 MB or just try to flash CoreDroid once again, but this has to work . Got the used HTC HD2 since 2 Weeks and it never really worked yet
...just read a little bit more:
EU HD2s got 512MB RAM. Therefore CoreDroid, as a ROM which needs 390MB system space, should not work properly because there is too less space left. Is this right? Am I able to change the value for "system ya" in a certain range or does the ROM just work properly with nonEU/HDs with more internal space? Otherwise im going to try the JW MIUI 1.9.2 Rom...

[Q] Help needed...

I recently bought an HD2 T8585 and Installed the MIUI android 2.12.28 ROM on it..and it worked flawlessly but it requires 230M system so it gives me very less internal memory and I want something which could help me remove useless stuff or get extra internal memory....I dont want to repartition my sd-card because it has too much data and its just 4GB ........
Radio- 2.15.50.14
Bootloader- cLK 1.5
Internal Memory available - 0.00mb
Hello,
Okay, let's consider your options:
1- Repartition your SD card and use an a2sd or similar scripts. You said you don't want to repartition.
2- Delete some useless stuff. (Use Titanium Backup to unsinstall apps you don't use)
3- Use a smaller ROM, or a bare ROM.
4- Reconsider option 1. (It doesn't really take much, about 500 mb from your 4GB is enough I suppose)
Thanks
Thanks for your help.. I neede to know any Light ROM's ICS or JB.....I would prefer MIUI...:silly:
Feel free to have a look at the NAND development, and look for roms of your choice, and then rule out large ROMs. And then pick from what remained.
