Ive seen many questions in the Q & A forum about this CWM and figured the best way is to get developers and other main contributors to look at the issues some of the "little people" have about using it. DAF was convenient and easy for all because it was one click for the people who could get that far, and since CWM, there where the 3 versions and this one has yet to really be well touched upon as a full tutorial with the copy to SD not being needed any more. I feel as do many others that a main "sticky" thread be made for it with a few FAQ on this section of the forum so they do not have to search too far away from the main thread they are using and get completely confused.
1. Will doing a backup and changing ROMs using CWM with different partition delete my backup?
2. Will doing a backup KEEP my partition?
3. Is it possible to do a partition from CWM or is the partition need to be carried on a computer?
(this to me seemed to defeat the purpose of CWM with some DEVs making their own partition layouts and not using the main ones that were originally laid out for use, no aim towards DEVs because I know they work hard)
4. If I put multiple ROMs on my SD card do I need to change the partition every time if I want to change them?
5. Is there a way to know which backups are from which ROMs I had used?
(I guess this is asking if they can change the name?)
6. How do I know when to "Wipe Cache Partition"?
I know there is *THIS* thread, however there are surely some differences between the copy of those files and not needing to copy amongst other things to which the "new" people do not understand.
If this is just a bother and hindrance to you all, I understand the deletion of this thread, however it did take quite a while to plan out what to write, and what not to should you choose to do so and I would give the answers, however even I do not know all of them and so I leave this to you all for debate. NO PUBLIC BASHING PLEASE
Dude, this forum is for posting dev projects. Why on earth do you think its ok to post a questions topic in here when we have a dedicated questions forum?!?!

I said it could be moved or deleted just the questions are not very well maintained in that DEDICATED (? HA) forum there are multiple posts of the same and I felt that since there is a sticky thread here that could answer the forum issue of the DEVELOPED CWM program this should be brought to the attention and as such is a DEV related issue. It can and most likely will be moved, do you have an answer to any of the issues the people asked?

No this will not delete your back up as it is saved on yor SD card when you do the back up.

This I am not really sure of as I am not a dev but I think it does as the backup is just a backup of your settings, personal information, your gmail account associated with your Android, boot data, and any cache data that you have built up.

You can partition your SD card with CWM but I do not think you can do a system portion as CWM is what creats the system portion when you flash it. It creates a partition in the CWM.

Once again I am not a dev (yet) and I am not 100% sure of this. But I would say if the ROMs you have stored on SD card need different portition sizes then yes you will need to change the partition size when you change ROMs. If they require the same partition size then no you do not need to change the partition size.

You should be able to manually go into your SD card with a computer and change the name on the backup file, but I do not know if this will interfer with CWM being able to detect the backup file. So you might want to write down the original full name of the file befor you change it.

As a rule of thumb I would not delete my cache unless I was about to flash a new ROM.
Also check out my guide I wrote in linked in my sig, you might find it useful.

I refuse to help people who...
a) Refuse to title their topics properly.
b) Refuse to give any relevant information about their problem.
If you expect any help from anybody you need to..
a) Write proper titles for threads, ie descriptive of topic.
b) Give relevant information like what rom you are using, what you have done, what exactly happens etc.
Just saying, my device is rebooting just isn't helpful to anybody, including yourself.
Which device version do you have?
Which rom are you using?
What partition did you use?
What exactly have you done?
Did you task29 your nand?
Did you properly format your card with sdformatter with full format (overwrite and size adjustment)?
etc etc etc
moving right along...tmous hd2, running lastest nrg sense 3.0 rom (eu version) have even ran the tmous version aswell. yes ive done task 29 and formatted sd card serveral times and it still randomly reboots
When your phone reboots ...
Are you installing some apps? (or restoring apps from titanium backup or any similar app?)
Do you have an ext on your sd?
Are you connected to WiFi ? (or data?)
Does your phone overheats? (or you feel like its too hot after it had rebooted?)
Does this happen on every ROM or just this one? (have you referred to the ROM's thread and looked for similar casualties?)
- Try not to overclock.
- Select your operator manually (worked for me)
btw, before posting a question, you need to explain more...
I own HD2 from almost 3 years, i want to try something new with it, so i decided to put Android on the phone. I want to ask here, first, whats the difference between NAND and SD versions, NAND mean its going on the phone memory like the windows? Whats better/faster? Whats easiest to boot/install? I dont want to read all threads all night long, just want some good android rom, or few good android roms to try ... and some advice to be NAND or SD version ... and also, android 2 or 4? i dont know anything about android ... please help. Any advice will be appreciated!
It depends which is easier. I had a problem with partition SD for 4 partitions But with nand there might be problems for novice too. You have to flash HSPL, and then CLK (better than Magldr I think). But then it is easy. SD is on SD, so you have 2 systems at the same time: stock WM6.5 and android which you start by exe in WM. Nand roms fully replaces stock WM. I don't know which is faster, but I prefer NAND. If you are not going to play heavy games, then choose Android 4 with HWA, if just for phone and apps, then 2. And we cannot tell you which rom (system, one of many as you see ) is the best for you - everyone has to try it himself, my experiences might be different than yours If you want to know more, read tutorials or write here - I or someone else will help you.
PS I recommend you tytung's or dorimanx's rom. Or sense rom if you liked it in WM

Stop it moderators
come on man, if u find it frustrating to delete 500 posts quit the job man. Atleast dont ridicule the new people.
Anyways, to the person who asked, The NAND version is a bit difficult to install but as it is on internal memory, it is much faster and stable than the SD version. The sd version can be booted up anytime for your stock WinMo 6.5. so u have two Os at any one time. i wud go for NAND but if u are new to this first try SD versions.

He isn't a mod? Plus you're giving incorrect information. The NAND version is NOT difficult to install, if you just READ. Seriously people, this is exactly what I mean. Reading=good, and the internet contains almost anything you could possibly want to know if you look properly. This guide could not be simpler, even for a newbie like I was. I'm 15, and flashed Android on this phone when I was 14 (plus I don't do any computing or IT in school or anything) so as long as you speak English, you can understand this guide with ease.

I couldn't quite understand your first point (three commas doesn't really help me much) as there's a distinction between 'what are forums for but to look at?' and 'what are forums for but to look at people repeating the same old **** constantly'. Both are still wrong, but the first is far more correct. Forums are for sharing information with a wide variety of people. This includes of asking and having your questions answered, but it also includes SEARCHING the forum for your answer. These questions have already been asked and answered a tonne of times. If he searched he could have found the answer. I reckon that theoretically we could fit all of the different non ROM-specific questions which get asked here within just 5 pages at the very most, rather than having the forums span on for ages.

chuckles it wouldnt be pretty if i was a mod lol
HTC + Android = PERFECT MATCH!!
Try starting by READING the guide, it's not that hard to do. Just follow the instruction and READ carefully. Dont skip the sentence if u don't want to Brick your phone.
+1 Vote for NAND Android
Anyway i can't tell what's perfectly right for you. U will have to try it your self.
I tried like 4-5 ROM until i found what's right for me. However if u can do it once, the rest is just a piece of cake.
Like the other guyz said. Nearly all problem that u have, someone had already post the solution for that keep searching if u encounter any trouble.
While you were arguing about my question, and writing long posts, instead of giving your advice ... i installed one NAND rom, Energy one, but i think it installed on the SD ... because it asked me to format 1024mb on the SD card, so it is not really a NAND one i think ... and also, it looks a little bit slow ... freezes from time to time, not so smooth as expected ... and i read many articles, but i just wanted an advice, why to try all roms, when you can tell me 1 - 2- 3 roms that worth the try? This forum is so full with information, that for new people like me its too difficult to see the important threads for our needs, thats why we ask you, the people being long time here, tried more of the roms, and read lall the things, because i dont want to loose mu life in reading here, for thing i can do for 10 min, and then never look back for it ... SO Finally, few people helped me, the rest was arguing ... and who is the smartest of all of you? Instead of writing long posts telling me to read, you can simply write 3 sentences ... I am using this rom, i tried this and this and are also good, NAND means on memory like windows, SD means on card, NAND is faster, read "This" thread it will help you with your problem ... its so simple to help people, do you think i need to read all this forum, to install and use android? and this is forum with live people, not internet book ... so asking is part of forum, so, i am new to android, not to forums and reading ... thats why ... stop telling people to stop asking, be nice, if you dont want to answer, then dont ... if you feel like you want to help, do it ... and you will save you alot of antystress pills!

And if you found all of that information on your own, why did you have to bother creating this thread? Also, you just don't want to read do you? When you said 'format 1024mb on my SD card' you mean creating an SD-EXT partition. Again, if you had read carefully you would realise that this is necessary for Sense 3.5 builds on EU HD2s and you would know that that is a NAND ROM. I was confused about this at first as well, so what did I do? I did some READING and figured it out logically. Finally, if you're experiencing lag and stuff, try a lighter ROM such as a CM7/MIUI/CM9/AOKP ROM, Sense is very bloated and (IMO) too slow compared to CM9. Plus, CM9 has full HWA.
I can recommend NAND:
-Dorimanx 3.1.7 CM7 rom (install 3.1.7 and not 3.1.7.1 - broken script)
-Tytung's roms (there are some)
-TouchWiz roms (stable for me)
-And HWA roms, read about them, I use Nightlies and all right
And most roms, like Sense roms (including Energy) needs EXT partitions for additional data.
And better use cLK bootloader.
Thing is, posts with questions that don't have or hard to answer (can't be searched about) don't get any replies. :screwy:

Yep, that's basically one of the main reasons I dislike it when people post unnecessary threads. Not only does it clutter up the forum but it also shoves other people with genuine problems off the first page, and their questions are unanswered. This most certainly isn't fair in my opinion.

I posted this a while back and was written like it was going to be your very first attempt at putting android on your phone. You can still follow this guide from step one till the end to make sure your doing everything correctly... Hope this helps and if it does hit up that thanks button at sometime.
(Im attaching most of the files you need at the end of the post. You'll have to find the radio, step 2, yourself because i cant compress it enough to fit under the 8mb attachment limit on xda. This is just in case you dont have them already or your not using the HD2 Toolkit)
THESE STEPS ARE TO BE DONE AFTER THE OP INITIAL PREREQUISITES i.e. windows mobile device center, activesync, proper spl version...
FOR NAND
--------the following steps (1 - 3) are to be preformed while at the tri-color boot screen (easiest way to reach is to turn off your phone while its connected to your PC then immediately hold volume down button till you see it n wait for it to say usb in the white section).
(by the way your device will ALWAYS automatically restart itself after a couple seconds if it is shut down while plugged in via USB to either a wall/car charger or hooked up to a PC this is normal)
1. install hspl3/hspl4
-run the "HSPL3_PKG/HSPL4_PKG" file. should be the only one in there
-make sure you select 2.08.HSPL in the setup and go thru the wizard just like you would any other. It will only take a few moments to execute and once it finishes it will auto reboot your device. MAKE SURE AS SOON AS YOUR DEVICE TURNS OFF YOU HOLD DOWN ON THE VOLUME KEY IMMEDIATELY TO GET BACK TO THE TRI COLOR BOOT SCREEN.
2. install radio
-run the "customRUU" file with the HD2 icon in the radio of your choosing
-it will operate in a similar fashion as the HSPL3/4, automatically turning off device upon completion... make sure you hold down on the vol key again to get yourself back to the tri color boot screen.
3. install magldr113
-make sure your selecting "rom update utility" in the magldr113 file. dont run the "DAF" it wont work properly if you do and youll get errors
-BUT THIS TIME AS IT TURNS ITSELF OFF HOLD DOWN THE POWER BUTTON ON YOUR DEVICE AS IT BOOTS UP UNTIL U GET TO MAGLDR AND CONTINUE TO HOLD IT DOWN UNTIL YOU SEE ABOUT 12 DIFFERENT OPTIONS...
[B4. install CWM recovery [/B]
-go to option 5 "USB Flasher" and hit the green call key. wait a few moments till it shows USB....USB make sure the second usb pops up and your PC recognizes the connection. then when it does sync you get to......
-while still in the usb flasher mode above, simply run you desired CWM recovery which should the one your developer recommends for the builds as the requirements tend to vary from rom to rom.
-this is achieved by selecting the "DAF" file from the clockworkmod recovery your using
-and again this installer will shut off your device upon completion and HOLD DOWN THE POWER KEY LIKE ABOVE TILL YOUR BACK AT THE MAGLDR MAIN MENU (with options 1-12).
5. install rom
-go to option 8 "AD Recovery" and hit the green call button to enter into the CWM recovery u just installed
-after it loads up (GO!GO!GO!) go down to the "mounts and storage" option that is third from the bottom and hit the call key.
-once there go to the last option "mount USB storage" and hit the call key.
-give your PC a few moments to recognize the sd card for your device and choose to open it when your PC prompts with the regular file explorer or just find it and double click on the newly recognized drive (sdcard) if your PC doesnt auto prompt you.
-the new drive (sdcard) should be empty (depending...) then just find the desired rom you chose to use, right click on it and copy.....then over to the new drive (sdcard) and paste. might take a min or two depending on the roms size
-once the copying is complete hit the call button to "unmount" your sdcard then the back button on your device till your back at the CWM main screen
-go to the fifth option down and "install zip from sdcard" and hit the call button
-select the second option "choose zip from sdcard" and select the zip file you just copied to your sdcard. then it will begin to install the rom and all rom install times vary by build. some take a minute, some seem like they take forever.
-once installation is complete hit the back button till your back at CWM main screen and choose the last option which is to "power off"
-then tap the power button(if u unplugged it from usb otherwise it wil reboot by itself) to turn on your device and give it some time for the initial boot and load as it has to set up everything u just installed. subsequent boot wont take as long but again it can all vary from rom to rom.
-after initial load and a successful bootup you should arrive at ether the lockscreen or a startup screen. give the rom a few more mins to settle and dont hit any buttons. then unlock the device or skip through the startup options and get to the home screen. maybe give it another min to settle the launcher and the last bit of data and resist the urge to mess with the features. your gonna hate this but hold down the power button and select power off device from the popup men. i know it sucks but it is best practice when flashing roms and the like. after device shuts off wait a few seconds and turn it back on and let it reboot. should be faster this time and when u get to your lockscreen simply give it a few seconds to settle again, unlock and go to main launcher a wait a couple more seconds for it to finish settling and.....have fun!
Maybe its not so abridged but oh well tried my best to be as clear as possible so people can utilize their HD2 to its fullest potential.
HOPE THIS HELPS and lemme know if i need to edit any information.
Oh yeah and as for ROM selections give these a try:
CM7/gingerbread - Typhoon by Tyween, Dorimanx High End Rom by Dorimanx
Sense 3.x/gingerbread - Team blue Droid by Dansta, Sensation XL stock by carl 1961
CM9/ics - Unofficial AOKP for HD2 by Xylograph, Nexus HD2 ICS by Tytung
There are lots more to choose from, these are just some of the more notable ones that ive used.

Well, I did ask (nicely) for corrections. So what part of this is wrong? I use this same procedure for every rom i flash, well plus/minus a few steps. Pretty sure this works as this has helped other people in the past. While Mskip's guide is very useful, to a beginner it can seem lil overwheling with all of the information he provides. Mine was supposed to be a quick run-thru of the steps.
So please inform me, with all that 15 yr old experience, what is not correct...

Not correct, HSPL is needed first. You only mentioned 'the OP prerequisites e.g. correct SPL version'. SPL isn't the same as HSPL, and the OP often doesn't contain info like this. Devs don't write guides on how to flash in all their ROMs, plus if this is a newbie guide you should mention this as step 1.
As well as this, Task29 is 100% useless in this case. When you unnecessarily suggest Task29s, people get into the habit of doing them every time they flash. This repeated writing of the NAND can eventually lead to bad blocks.

There have been many reports of file corruption when using this method to copy over a ROM. Also, why should the new drive be empty? This would imply you would have to delete the contents of your SD card in order to flash a ROM, which you don't.
Also, no mention of partitioning the SD card. You've listed Sense 3.x ROMs as recommended, yet you need an SD card partition to run these. A newbie would not know this of course and would probably end up creating a new thread about 'why isn't my ROM working?? '.
This guide, whilst you're obviously trying to do a good thing by helping people, would just confuse a newbie, not help them. By following it to the letter you'd probably incorrectly/unsuccessfully flash Android.
- I'm using IceCreamTosti v1.1a [AOKP B36][HWA][4.0.4][marc1706s_ics_0.1.1] by Xylograph.
anyway. all the great rom is the most viewed one i think.
but to define which ROM is the BEST is very difficult because TASTE is different hehehe.
Awww snap!, where do i start...

There have been many reports of file corruption when using this method to copy over a ROM. Also, why should the new drive be empty? This would imply you would have to delete the contents of your SD card in order to flash a ROM, which you don't.
Also, no mention of partitioning the SD card. You've listed Sense 3.x ROMs as recommended, yet you need an SD card partition to run these. A newbie would not know this of course and would probably end up creating a new thread about 'why isn't my ROM working?? '.
This guide, whilst you're obviously trying to do a good thing by helping people, would just confuse a newbie, not help them. By following it to the letter you'd probably incorrectly/unsuccessfully flash Android.

First off, I did say that i posted this elsewhere, soooo the OP that was referenced wasnt this threads OP or a devs OP, it posted in a different thread where the OP had a huge long guide that again had a lot of information to sort thru and mine was an attempt to streamline that process.
The spl version i spoke of was in reference to...
IMPORTANT: To install/uninstall this HSPL3 there must be any SPL version from this list on your device:
SPL 1.42.0000, SPL 1.62.0000, SPL 1.66.0000, SPL 2.07.0000, SPL 2.08.0000, SPL 2.10.0000, SPL 3.03.000 - courtesy of mskips guide
I thought a task29 would be good in this case because this OP in this thread said he had tried an sd card version or something or whatever he had done and it wasnt working very well so why not get everything off there he may have done. Also your task 29 causing bad blocks might be true, but its no different from flashing roms that write to nand or installing a bunch of apps n such. If i am not mistaken they all write to nand anyway as well, so by your logic you better be careful installing roms... might lead to bad blocks! OH NO!
If this is one of the first times you flash android to nand you probably dont have much or anything at all on your sdcard. Like i said I POSTED THIS ELSEWHERE for a quick step by step for a beginners. Ive been installing roms this way for a couple years on this device and have never had any problems with file corruption... only spoiled know it all little kids.
The CWM file i included has a 180 system layout which will work with most CM7 & CM9. I figured if it came to it and he need another version he could just edit the cfg file or find the correct one as a good number of devs will just include this in their OPs.
And yes step 3 is a little redundant because you have already (obviously) had to do this. I included it because i found that some people were just choosing the first option to install 2.08 and not 2.08hspl in the HSPL3/4 wizard. The redundancy was to make sure people are clicking the right option. I even did this once a year or so back and didnt catch my mistake right away.
And as for partitioning the sdcard for sense 3.x roms I was pretty sure that Dansta34 and Carl 1961 roms dont require this anymore as they trimmed down the roms and im pretty sure it isnt required for tmoUSA devices because of the increase in internal memory while the EU version did or does because it has half the space. Not sure on this because the last time i was running a sense3.x rom was last fall so there is a chance i was mistaken. Plus if you do need to create a ext3/4 partition im pretty sure its stated in the roms OP.
Next time you flash a rom go ahead and follow the above steps and i bet you it works.
And you started the patronizing by the way you have chosen to respond to sadmind's posts... thats that whole pot calling the kettle black thing...
So quit trolling threads and further clogging them up with your know it all nonsense... a sign of your immaturity. Instead of helping the guy with a post or two YOU clog threads up by being unhelpful and repeating the "its posted elsewhere so look for it" line. Its a quick way to get over a thousand posts thats for sure! And why waste your time posting in this thread anyway if you not gonna help. Just ignore the question and move on already. Damn kids!

I'm adept enough and have modded systems before, but I don't really have the time to research all the info...
Basically, I'm offering $$$ to an 'expert' to handhold me via Skype, Google+ or whateva through installing a custom rom/kernel on my tab.
It's an Acer Iconia A500, 8gb.
I downloaded the OTA 4.0.3 update and rooted via Blackthund3r 1-click (with only the default option checked).
So at this point, I have full root and gather that I (at least) need to, in some particular order:
1) Install Clockwork Recovery
2) Backup ROM and/or whatever else
3) Clean install, full wipe, format
4) Install a custom ICS bootloader
5) Install custom ROM/kernel
I'd also like to extend the main partition onto SD (as much as poss... 1 gb?).
I've hit up a few ppl on Craigslist to try getting it done, but out of 4, 3 never got back to me and the 4th claimed there was a 50/50 chance of bricking. For personal reasons, this particular tab is very important to me and taking ANY chance on bricking w/o being able to recover is a deal killer. But with that said, this and other forums make it seem completely stable if done correctly. If any gurus wanna make a few bucks, pls PM me.
Also - I was leaning toward the Lightspeed ROM... anyone have an opinion on this vs. others?
THX!

Will do it for free knowledge is free there is always going to be a chance of bricking but not 50/50 just make sure you have a full back up and you cpuid......personally ide go with flex reapers but that's just me pm me if you want help as for the extending the main partition im not sure i know you could soft mod it so you micro SD card become your internal and your default download place on honeycomb...hope this helps
karma
u, sir, rawk
If you have full root then your pretty much done, just go to the market and install Acer recovery tool. There is a topic about in the apps section

[PLEASE make sure to thank developer for the dedication to this ROM
Please do not clutter the Development thread with non development-related chatter
See post two for FAQ
FAQ
Q Why a special Q&T Thread for a specific ROM??
A The bigger a ROM development thread gets, the greater the chance that posts are being placed in this thread that are not related to the ROM development itself, e.g. problems with flashing, installation, bugs, things not working etc. However this is understandable, it's not according to the guidelines of XDA for Development sections. Therefore the main goals of the ROM specific Q&T threads is to avoid this cluttering of the original develpment thread with these OT posts by redirecting the posters to the ROM specific Q&T thread and also to relieve the developer from answering these post, so he can dedicate his time to developing.
Q How to move my post to the Q&A/T thread?
A Copy the text of your post in the dev's thread, got to the Q&A/T thread and paste it there. After having done that, go back to the dev's thread, edit your post and change the text into: moved to Q&A/T thread, preferably accompanied with a link to this thread.
Q When I'm asked to move my post to the Q#A/T thread, do I have to do that?
A When you're asked to move your post, there will always be given an explanation by the OP of the Q&A/T, e.g. your post is not development related (f.i. SD card problems, etc), so please be so kind to move your post. If you want to help the dev to keep his original thread as clean as possible from OT posts, then the answer is, of course, YES. Although we cannot force you to move your post, it's highly recommended to do so
Q Where can I download this ROM and How do I install?
A You can find the link to download and installation instructions HERE.. Pay close attention to this post, everything required for a successful flash is listed right here. If you fail to follow the instructions or meet the requirements for installation, you could run into some problems.
Q How’s battery life?
A see this question asked repeatedly across all ROMS. Honestly there is no way to give you an answer based on a ROM. There are too many variables in question and results vary from user to user and device to device. Battery life is going to depend on age and condition of your battery, your use habits with your device, installed apps, tweaks, settings, etc...
Q How do I...
A Ask your questions and report your issues in this thread. You will receive a response and hopefully get you back up and running this ROM to it's fullest
Nice job, thank team of RC's!

Hi my friend,
would you also be so kind to post this message at the end of your thread???
In addition to THAN's post:
This thread has been created, in accordance with the owner of the original development thread, to keep his thread clean from Off Topic, e.g. non-development related, posts.What are OT posts? Examples:
1. I want to install this ROM, how to do that?? This is a question you can find in the first post of the thread.
2. I want to use a specific app with this ROM, will this work with it. Not development related., etc . etc.
3. Posts about WiFi/BT that are working for you, while others have no problems with that.
4. SD Card related problems, etc
very best regards, Kuzibri

Install seems to go fine and after first boot, the phone runs fine; however, I am experiencing random freezes during the day that require removing the battery. Running a second phone using a Samsung 32 GB, Class 10 and NexusHD2-JellyBean-CM10.1 V2.1 on Native SD with no problem.
At this point, I'm not certain whether the issue is related to the SD card, the build, or an incompatible app running in the background. Last evening, I went through all of the apps on the phone, starting using, and then closing. None triggered the freeze. It seems to occur after the phone has gone to sleep. It just won't wake-up, requiring pulling the battery and restarting.
I had been running the prior releases on NAND without issue other than the aforementioned memory problems. Any comments, suggestions appreciated.
Over the weekend, I replaced the SanDisk Ultra® microSDXC™ UHS-1, 64GB card with a Samsung Pro Extreme Speed 64GB and reinstalled. So far, the problem appears to be solved and was related to the SanDisk Card. Performed a second installation using a Microcenter store brand 32 GB, Class 10 card and it too seems to be running flawlessly. The SanDisk cards are headed back to the store. I may simply have had a bad card, but wanted to share my experience.

Need Help
Hi,
I really need some help to understand better the way of flashing this rom.
I may have been doing something wrong.
But first i need to say I LOVE MIUI ROM.
I have an HTC HD2 Leo (EU) 512MB
My SD Card is not of a good brand, it is 8gb class 6 card, that came with my first HTC HD. It has some years now.
I have installed this ROM via ClockMod 1.5 and created a FAT 32 and an EXT4 partition.
Everything runs excellant in the ROM, but after a few days, the phone starts to freez and in a point i start losing APPS.
It is really anoying to do it all again, all is backuped with Xiamomi Account and Google account, but it is really boring to put everything again on SD card, and flash it all over again.
Do you think it might be a problem with my SD Card?
Help is much apreciated.
I really want to use this ROM.
Thank you,

Hi,
1. for installing instructions for this ROM see page 1 of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255056
2. IMJO you should buy a new SD Card cause that might be the cause of your problem(s). When was the last time you formatted your SD Card? I format it every two weeks to prevent the Card is the cause of problems, like freezes, instability, battery drainage, etc.
kind regards, Kuzibri

Hi all,
Some days ago I bought a HD2 with Windows Mobile and today I managed to flash MIUI on it. Everything seems to work flawlessly except for the internet connection. No data (H in the status bar is displayed) and no Wifi connection (it gets stuck at "obtaining IP address"). But I can receive and make calls and the SIM card works in my Xperia Z (I use it with an µSIM -> SIM adapter, but this works in my G1 ).
So what do I do wrong? APN is also correct...
Thanks in advance,
Lunch
PS: I have already tried #7 out of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10433749#post10433749 (7th)
And another SIM card shows exactly the same problem.
EDIT2: after this I flashed another ROM (NexusHD2) and all mobile data related issues are gone.

Hi Lunch,
I met the same problem with a certain Android ROM. What I did to solve it, is remove every WiFi connection it detected and added them again manually which gave me the possibilty to enter the key of the Router. After that WiFi worked without any probs. Maybe this will work for you too!!
kindest regards, Kuzibri
Thank you, maybe I'll try MIUI once again and I'll look through it.

GPS problem and SOD on lock screen
I installed this rom (current ver 3.4.19) and all in all I think it is best HD2 Android ROM on JellyBean 4.1.2.
One problem exist since first 4.1.2 release of this rom (gtbluesky on miui.com). It is a GPS problem, that seems unsolved yet. It is difficult to search original forums on miui.com for solution, because of chinese, of which I dont understand any word.
Anyway, I'm sure that all freezes I have had are due to this particular gps isssue, because phone freezes with SOD only while in sleep (lock screen), and I think it is because one of the app (system or user) trying to get GPS data freezes the phone and lock screen is then locked for sure with famous black screen of death with only hard key's light on.
I came to this conclusion because I installed app "GPS status" from market and tried forceing gps just to test my phone GPS radio. After launching, app waited (as usual for gps apps depending on my location, satelites position, gps cacche etc) and finally when gps was captured with correct data, then freezed the phone leaving me with no other option but to reset the phone with pulling out the battery.
I repeated this several times and got freezed almost every time.
Google maps freezes phone also, as soon as location is fetched from satelites, not from AGPS.
If anyone noticed this, or had this same problem, please post some advice or solution how to fix this.
My HD2 is:
MIUI 3.4.19 with DataOnExt
bootloader: MAGLDR
recovery: cwm
memory: 512 (EU)
SYS partition: 370 MB
cache partition: 5MB
SD card : SanDisk 16Mb class 4
ext4 partition: 2048
Hey there guys. I recently installed this ROM and everything works fine, didn't have any major problems. The only thing that bothered me was the camera, as it was a bit buggy. So I then decieded to use the one from my Titanium Backup (from a previous rom installation). It worked just fine.
Yesterday I wanted to take a picture and the camera icon was gone. If anything both were gone, by that I mean that after the ROM install there were two camera icons (before the TB one). I retried to restore the one from TB, to no avail. I just wanna know what the problem is, or should I just install a camera from the Playstore? Thanks for a wonderful ROM!:good:
My Install details are as follows:
MIUI 3.5.3 with DataOnExt
Bootloader: MAGLDR
Recovery: CWM
Ext4 partition: 4GB
Swap size: 256mb
Memory: 512 (International)
SYS partition: 380 MB with 5mb cache
SD card: SanDisk 16GB Class 10
