nand is the internal memory on your phone. To put it in terms of your computer it's the internal hdd, where as the sd card is an external hdd..
Does that help?

i have a nother question, you have to unlock ur phone, does and once u install android is WM still on my phone, like can i still use it? because the hero rom doesnty send texts when i use it off my SD card and im afraid it wont send texts when i have it on NAND, then ill b stuck if i cant use WM. And finally does NAND make it ALOT fast cause the hero rom is terribly lagging on SD card
To flash Android on the NAND you have to unlock your phone first, if you have a custom ROM you have already unlocked your phone. If you install Android on the NAND, it will completely remove Windows Mobile, the only way to get WinMo back would be to flash a WinMo ROM.
As for a speed difference, there would not be a huge difference if you have a fast SD card (class 6). If you have a slower card you will see a marked difference in speed.
If you are worried about speed you should try a different build, if you like Hero, jamezelle's sensehero build is probably the fastest, but it isn't nearly as fast or stable as plemen's themed donut builds.
I'd suggest you use the tattoo build posted by vilord. It sends texts just fine. I used it for a while and really liked it.

True, but, vilord's build is too large to flash in it's current state so you will have to run it through Haret.

link please =]? and with every build i use it wont send txt messages, i got one of them to actually now that i think about it, it was the Eclair one, but all others wont
The only builds that have sms issues are the hero based builds. And if fact it does send the text it just reports that it doesn't.
Seeing as you're just starting out in nand, start with DZO's android install package here.
It's a great build.

what is it that is not working right in android for you?
GPS works, bluetooth works(on the right builds), sms, calls, etc..
I have settled for WM6.5.x and Vilord's Tattoo on a class 6 4gb micro sdhc. That way I can flash the newest WM and still play with android. I have used a 2gb with Android and it is definitely slower. Even a Kingston class 4 was noticably slower.

Hey all its been about 6 months since I was last here, My HD2 currently runs the old Darkstone SD card build, and I love it, But I know since then allot of other developments have been made, I want to now install a Rom directly to my phone (Nand I believe it is?) But I have looked through the roms section and cant find one that is anything like the old darkstone , If anyone can point me out one that is similar and can be used on the Nand I would greatly appreciate it, Thank you.
If you like it clean than try [27.MAR][CWM] NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.5 [Android2.3.3][Kernel: tytung_r8.3].
A really good Guide how to install NAND ROM you can find here.
Use This..UltimateDroid (Crawlingcity)
I've only had HD2 for a week and I'm a noob, But tried others and this one w/radio rom 2.12.50.02 for battery is the best in my opinion, Very very happy!

Correct me if I am wrong, but installing to NAND would limit you to the amount of apps that you can install since not all apps support Moving to SD. Wouldn't you rather run a newer build, like American Android off your SD?

I'm correcting you, you are wrong!
You can create a partition on your SD which extends your internal memory, All user data is pushed there
Majority of roms come with one of various solutions to extend memory.
Not trying to hijack this thread or anything, but I haven't gone the NAND way just because of that limitation that I believed was there! I AM SO GLAD I WAS WRONG!
I guess my next question is, the maximum size of that partition would be...?
I am currently running American Android off SD, is there anything similar to that for NAND?

1GB as far as I know. Thats what is recommended by most devs. To partition all you need to do is go into recovery (Clockworkmod) and use the partition feature.
Apps2SD+ = Apps data is pushed to the partition after install or reboot in some cases I think.
Data2SD/Data2Ext = All user data is stored on partition as internal memory is extended.
data.img = Basicaly same as what data.img does on SD build, ie the .img file is used as internal memory.
(I may not be 100% accurate on the above so if anybody has more detail please add)
PS. You should have done a bit of reading, there has been roms with this functionality for ages.
Ultimate Droid 3.1.1 so good.

I did plenty of reading, only problem was that I kept playing safe. Right after that reply of yours I flashed HyperDroid GBX 2.3.3 with CWM and boy I couldn't be happier. I also have the SD card fix on. This thing flies!
I will suggest anyone going for NAND to partition to EXT4 through GParted rather than CWM though. Gingerbread is more stable, compatible and faster with EXT4.
Thanks bud!

Hi
A friend of mine asked me if I could put Android on his HD2 as he bought one with German language and he doesn't understand anything at all. Now we wan't to completely remove Windows Mobile 6.5.x from the phone and install Android. ICS with HTC sense is prefered but and older version will also do.
I have found multiple tutorials, but I wonder which method is the best. NAND or SD?
At this point in time we don't have any SD-card in the phone, so I asume the Sd method isn't usable. But which method and ROM is the best to use if we want to be able to switch language and want Android experience as close to the HTC android phones as possible.
Are there any bugs with the HD2 in Android? I've heard that there should be problems with the sound when calling people, and the data-connection should be unstable as well. Are these rumors still current or have they been solved?

Ok. First of all, Nand is the better of the two. As your friend want to COMPLETELY remove winmo6.5 its better to use NAND. Currently there is no ICS sense rom but the sense gingerbread roms work very smoothly with all features working. So you may want to try that. And dont worry you can change language from german to english. You basically select english at the startup setup.
One more thing. Even when installing the NAND version of android you will need a sd-card. The rom is a .zip file which must be copied to the sd card and this rom will be installed on the phones internal memory hence: NAND.
Hope it helps
Feel free to ask but i suggest you search it first and read more, because clearly you are lacking information

Thanks for the quick reply. I will read further on how to install using NAND method. But how big should the SD-card be. As said he doesn't have a SD-card in his phone. I have one but it's only 128MB, so not a whole lot. If the phone was using the MiniSD cards instead of microSD I had a 1GB card. But isn't it possible to get a Gingerbread HTC Sense ROM and then extract and repack it on the PC so it can fit the 128MB card. Or are the packed ROM's small enough to fit on a 128MB card?
Tell your friend to invest in about 4GB or more, once you've got a few apps, video video clips, music files and recovery backups then the 4GB will be eaten fairly fast imo. If you grab a class 6 card you can get one for less then $1/GB (aud).

Dont forget the thanks button
Anyways, basically the sd card is used to put the rom in and all music, pics, apps etc. will be stored on the sd card. plus, the 128 mb card will not hold the rom. Some files of the rom are installed on the sd card as well(some) so yeah, like the above user said, invest in a class 4 sd card with a fairly high amount of memory.
try the link below, it could give you an idea
You will need an SD card anyhow as mentioned before. Not only for flashing it to Nand, also some ROMs needs an ext(2 or 3) partition on the SD card. Specially when it's an EU device as yours might seems.
F.e.: I got an EU model and the great Energy ROM running - this needs a 1Gb ext(2 or 3) partition on the SD card!
-> It depends on the ROM of your choice.
Right now, I guess there is now ICS ROM with sense out there - or an I wrong?
I can definetly recommend the NRG ROM as this one runs really great. There is also a very good lashing instruction in its thread.
Good luck :good:
Ooh, ooh, me too!!

I also want to completely remove winmo6.5 from my wife's stock UK HTC HD2 and put some form of Android OS on it so I can then get her Ovivo Mobile mobile connection to work (I'm not bothered about dual boot functionality). Could you quickly link to a guide you would recommend to do this ("Thanks" will always be given :good: ).
(Note: I had an HD2 once, and bricked it after 9 months of ownership with a dodgy radio, so I'm a bit once-bitten-twice-shy about doing it).

I don't know if this happened to someone but it's very bad.
I am in big trouble with installing games right now, they kill my android, I mean kill really, after installing few best games, which I really want to play, my android drain the battery in 12 hours and even when he have enough battery he crash and after that he do not turn on anymore!
To start use the phone I have to install a backup to original to run it again.
Someone know something about that?
How it is possible and HOW AVOID THIS AND INSTALL ANY GAME?

After installation I start installing games and I got problems so I can't confirm right now if I have the same issue with apps too, that will be a massive problem!

Where is the problem?
You have a tmo, so forget about the a2sd script.
Which bootloader do you have (clk or magldr) ? and what rom are you using ? and what is your recovery partition.
P.S.: Was it you who installed Android on it or you bought it already installed/let someone do it for you?

Ok, I do not have CLK ot MAGLDR, I downloaded Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 2.3Revolution, kernel Hastarin 7.7, Android 2.2 but they call 2.3 for from last update. I do not use recovery partition because there are not partitions, all is on sd fat32 partition, basicly old stuff, but I like the rom. I put all the package folder (Android) into my sd, the type Android is based on rootfs.img, and I run it from Windows Mobile 6.5 with Android Launcher. First time he boot in 10 minuts because he had to made the fresh data.img of 1024MB. After he boot I reboot 3 times and he working very well, the problem comming when I try to install app or games, fully sure.

Hmmm .. to be honest with you, the last time I used an sd-build was about 2 years ago. I do not know what may cause such an issue. It could be the sd-card's partition since you are unable to "write data" to the "data.img" file. Or it could be a problem with that particular build.
Can you try the same build on a different sd card?
I remember having some problems, and a format of my sd-card usually solved them. (due to leftovers from previous roms) << you can try this one as well.
I am sorry, I am not experienced in sd-roms.

I was thinking exactly about do that, I got now the last Sandisk Micro SDHC 32GB Class 10 and I am unhappy because she don't work well from the first time. The first day I put the OS Android into this card he never turned on. I formatted the card with CMD and the card start working a little bit faster than before but not really well, also Android start working. Today I already paid for Samsung 32GB Class 10.
But what if I change the card and I will have same problems?

Since you are running sd builds(you didn't tell me anything about that) it's you card problem. Try deleting everything from .android secure(you're now losing apps from previous rom) because I think that the new rom is trying to overwrite the old one. I was using sd build but this problem is totally unfamiliar with me.
Anyway, install android on your HD2 on NAND, strongly recommended, or native sd since you mentioned that you have class 10 sd card.
I can give you a great tutorial that I've found on youtube if you want, or search the xda, there are a few good ones.

Sorry, I don't know how to define all the Android build so I get confused. Now I should know, SD Builds are the OS like mine on sd fat32, Native SD are the OS on partition ext4 and they can be installed with MALGRD, ok, and NAND are flashed on ROM. Too many thing for me to learn and also my english is not so good.

No way, I hope you understand , I try to make it work but I alrady paid today for another one HTC HD2 , so 1 I use daily with Windows Mobile 6.5 and the "new" one when comes I try to make it work with Android.
AND, when I finally will understud how to have 2 OS on 1 HD2 perhaps I am happy. :fingers-crossed:
Ok, Guys, problem solved, was the microSD!
Yes, the crap Sandisk Class 10 (28mb/s in Read, 15mb/s in Writing) this time let me down, I changed the sd and the Android do not crash anymore and I can install apps and games also.
The battery life,is not so long but this actually can be resolved too, I will try new Androids anyway to find the best set-ups for me.
Thanks for all the support and and tips.

The TB folder should be on your SD card. Prior to flashing a new ROM you can use the menu in TB to create an update zip file, which is flashable in recovery. When you flash the ROM zip you can also flash the TB zip, which will install TB on your phone without having to download it from the Play store. All you have to do then is do a batch restore of your user apps from TB and you'll be set.

FinZ28: thanks for reply but somehow I put the TA backup folder from my old ROM in a few of the folders on my phone and it popped up lol But now the problem I am having is with a2sd. It seems that all the apps are going both on my internal space & on the a2sd I created...Why is it doing that? I want all the apps to go to a2sd I created and not internal storage...
Do you know if your new ROM supports a2sd? You might have to find the right package and flash it to gain support for the a2sd partition. Check the OP of the ROM post. Better yet, check TB, and look at the memory readings for all of the partitions listed. If your partition isn't there, then it isn't supported natively.
aarsyl: I am running .500 reloaded ROM & you need to flash DarkTremors a2sd. I first created a parition w/ swap file 0 and 1 gig of space then I flashed ROM .500 reloaded then gapps then DT a2sd. When I go to Titanium I can see the 1 gig partition I created it says SD card (a2sd) and its taking up about 200 MB, however under internal its also taking up 200MB...the whole point of the a2sd is to free up space for internal storage..Why is it taking up space in both internal & the a2sd partition?
That's because it doesn't remove the ENTIRE thing to a2sd,to MY knowledge. I may be wrong, for I haven't dealt with that for a long time.
I suggest that you do a test. Install a few apps from the play store, and see what happens with the two partitions, and also monitor which partition loses more space.

Well like I said it seems to be taking space on both internal storage and the SD card... I just installed an app and it took 14mb off of SD (a2sd partition I made) & 24MB off internal...What do I need to do to get it to only take space on the a2sd and NOT internal storage?
Bump anyone? I notice in TA sum apps are on the SD card while some are not...How is that when I installed all the apps at the same time?!
Any input appreciated...
Ok...so know one else seems to know the answer to your question. Have you tried a2sd with another rom to see if it behaves the same way? That's the most that I can think of. Preferably a rom that already has it baked in.
Just trying....

Appreciate the response aarsyl however, what other rom should I try it with? .500 reloaded seems to work the best. Is there anything similar that has everything that ROM offers? Many roms I see around here always have something missing, be it FFC, video, 4g, ect....
Wow...you're asking for a lot. Just kidding...I just haven't tried out Roms for my OG Evo for months...give me until tomorrow, and I will return with an appropriate answer. But FYI, Sense 2.1 roms are definitely your best bet, since the phone was made for it (stock). If you don't prefer Sense, at least stick to GB. There are no ICS roms with everything working, and JB is even worse.

SOS X+ is a good rom to test, but I need to find a link.

Any gingerbread rom has everything working. Only the ICS/JB rom's have things broken. Jellybread and Thundershock are 2 of the most popular. Emilio Unchained isn't far behind. Mokee if you want a really different feel. Unoffical CM7.1 in Original Development section if you want a stock CM feel that you can customize and make your own without having things you don't want or need.

If you want everything working and a true ICS/jb feel try cyanmobile. Well you have to add the APN to get MMS but everything works. 4g, HDMI out!

.Reloaded is based on 2.3.5 and deck's custom ROM. The other ROMs are based on 2.3.7 and have CM controls. Some app's function differently. Different lock screen controls. etc. Few things like that. Don't get me wrong, I like reloaded, but it could use some updates.
Cyanmobile and MIUI are also... interesting, because they are quite different. As long as you are using the GB version of MIUI, everything will work. They are also 2.3.7 based.
If you like reloaded, stick with it. There is nothing wrong with it, and it's a good, stable rom. The question was, what has everything working. Sense 1.0 ROMs are the best for everything working. If you don't like sense, I was giving options since you already use reloaded.
souleman: what would u recommend as the two best ROMS under 2.3.7 with everything working including hdmi? Just wondering if the ones u mentioned are really better than relaoded or just a different look...
bump soul?
