Hi.
Im kinda newbie in all this stuff.
I just want to Install Android 2.1 on my HTC Dream / T-Mobile G1.
But im very very noob in all.
Is there any tutorial with some infos about that?
like...
1. download "any name of program", connect usb to ur phone, install "any name of spl" and so on... ?
i just want this kind of information.
Help me please ;]
p.s. im not sure if im posting in right forums, if not - please move.
Hmmm...I haven't seen anything that simple, and there is risk of bricking your phone. Try having a careful read of some of the threads in the developer section. Also, Cyanogenmod has a few installation guides.
Oh i forgot to add...
i was doing that stuff with help of my friend about 2yrs ago.
I already got HaykuroSPL (i think its one of dangerspl's)
but need more advices, what best rom to install and other stuff.
sorry for my bad english.
if u do really want eclair (2.1) that bad, u culd search for thread in here named "the rom bible".
There are so many choices in that thread.
For eclair, u culd use SuperE by ben.
Just IMO, i'd prefer froyo rather than eclair.
i'd prefer some donut than eclair.
Go grab some donut superD, or HTCClays. Its REALLY THAT FAST!!
Go grab some froyo Biffmod, or superF or maybe if u do wanna taste some new kernel like 2708 terrys + Biffmod rom.
ONLY FOR HTC DREAM LIKE MINE!!
DONT BLAME ME for anything bad happens to ur g1!!
I DONT KNOW, I DONT DO ROGERS, MT3G or anything besides my G1
THIS IS THE EXACT STEP IVE DONE.
IM A NOOB. I BOUGHT a used g1 at ebay 2-3 weeks ago.
AND IVE DONE FLASHING from stock rom 1.6 dmd64 damn it so hard those days to get rooted --> 1.5 stock --> 1.6 donut ADP1 --> 1.0 stock --> CM6 froyo --> biffmod leaving on jet plain --> Super E by ben --> super D by ben--> SUPER F by ben --> back to SUPER D --> HTCClays SUPER FAST Donut --> HTCClays CSDI rem v4 --> SUPER D again I LOVE YOU BEN!! --> Biffmod with ezterrys kernel 2708 --> froyo for trout --> froyo lazzlo --> now trying to bake some froyo for myself and some kernels my friends made. --> (future) getting debian
bought again a used g1 from ebay for daily used and doing easy root using androot from unlockr --> stay in SUPER D.
GUIDANCE:
1. Get ROOTED!!
U culd use the AndRoot method. Try google it.
Keyword: "androot" "g1" "unlockr"
Follow the instructions there. Its really made for noob like us.
check if u rooted or not, download terminal emulator from market
type su then enter
VOILA now u get ROOTED
2. Set some ADB, Fastboot, and a Recovery like amon ra's.
-install adb on ur computer.
dowload android sdk r10.zip
unzip it in C:\
try to find SDKManager.exe in that unzipped files. Run it.
then it fetching some updates from google.
after done fetching updates, it will ask you what files do u want to update.
choose "android sdk platform tools revision 3" and "google usb driver package revision 4"
after done updating, close the sdk manager.
grab ur android and choose setting-application-development-mark usb debugging.
connect ur android to usb computer.
when windows found new hardware and installing drivers, try to locate the drivers urself. point it at c:andro_sdk/extras
after done installing drivers,
now go to win start menu and run cmd.exe
from console windows go to c:\andro sdk 10\andro sdk\platformtools
in c:\andro sdk 10\andro sdk\platformtools>
type adb devices ENTER
then ur serial number shuld appear below "list of devices attached"
if the number not appear, it means ure wrong when installing the drivers.
ADB is an android interface for debugging the devices and override the phone control system from pc console.
Example: when rooted and got su(superuser or admin privilege), u can run any command from the device's terminal. like RM remove or something that need SU privilege.
and from adb, u can do the exact same thing but from ur PC, not from devices terminal.
ADB is easy, but it might be complicated if u dont have some basic of command line.
Now letsgo to Installing recovery section
-download ROM Manager from market.
-open it
-choose install alternative recovery (RA 1.7.0) at the bottompage
(ROM manager primarily use clockwordmod recovery, but they give an alternative like amon ra's recovery.)
after installing RA 1.7.0 recovery, from ROM Manager, choose boot into recovery.
phone then reboot and go into recovery mode.
scroll down and search something backup restore thing.
choose BART Backup.
if it says "u must run it in console" or something close like that, it means u dont have enough free space in ur sd card.
free some space by choosing USB MS TOGGLE in recovery menu.
now it mounts ur sdcard to computer and please free some space until BART BACKUP can be done.
after done creating a bart backup, u shuld copy the backup file (BART folder) to ur computer.
now from recovery menu, choose to power off phone.
then go to FASTBOOT or HBOOT system by pressing holding firmly ur camera button and power button.
HBOOT or bootloader (camera+power)
RECOVERY mode (home+power)
in fastboot or hboot mode u can see DREA1000000 blahblahblah thing..
see it carefully wheter u have DVT or PVT.
if it says DVT then STOP. i cant help you anymore
GO if ure PVT.
from that fastboot/hboot screen u can identify ur RADIO and SPL version.
SPL is something like: HBOOT-1.33.2005
RADIO is RADIO-2.22.23.02
Now, search for the RADIO and the SPL files. Google it, its so easy.
Once you found it, leave it zipped. dont unzip them.
U can found it in this lovely forum.
after u found it all,
Go to recovery mode, and prepare for partitioning the SDCard.
Before partitioning, u shuld see what the roms u wanna install need.
some roms need ext4 and some goes with ext3.
and some roms really set it to go with 96mb SWAP, 512mb ext3, FAT32.
Go to partition sdcard and choose partition SD.
Press home to continue partitioning blahblahblah
it will ask u for sizing ur SD PARTITION
SWAP= 96-128mb (depend on the ROM u want to install, some rom need exact amount of swap, and some roms dont explain it, so its up to you)
there are some debating club keep arguing how big swap file is recomended.
some says 32 mb wuld be the best since the biggest app u have in ur sdcard.
some says 128 is the best.
and some says "woaa, im confused a lot dude, lemme pick the mid one, i'd say go for 96 since i hate number 64. LOL"
and some believe, "bigger is better"
Ext2= 512mb (depend on the rom's need, if it doesnt say anything, go for 512mb, its enough for installing bunch of apps)
remainder? is the remaining space after SWAP and EXT2
Partitioning............
after done, upgrade to ext3..
proceed upgrading to ext4 if the rom can accept ext4..
if the rom doesnt say, please stay in ext3.
ATTENTION, ACHTUNG!!
FIRST, ALWAYS DO A MINIMAL NAND BACKUP, BART BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING ANY FILES!!
FIRST, ALWAYS DO A FULL WIPE (in recovery choose wipe and wipe everything except WIPE SD Ext) before and after FLASHING SOMETHING!!
FIRST, ALWAYS FLASH RADIO FIRST!!
THEN THE SPL FILES!!
AND ALWAYS READ WHAT THE SPL FILES NEED!! (SPL FILES NEED EXACT RADIO FILE)
if u mismatch, ur phone will be a nice PAPERWEIGHT
READY? FOR A NICE PAPERWEIGHT?
after done upgrading to ext3 or 4, in recovery mode, enable USB MS TOGGLE.
it will mount ur SD to computer.
drag RADIO "G1-radio-2_22_23_02.zip" files to sdcard, leave it ZIPPED.
then disable usb ms toggle.
then choose FLASH ZIP FROM SDCARD in recovery mode.
choose the radio file and proceed to flash.
done FLASHING YOUR RADIO?
now choose reboot system now.
it will reboot and comeback to RECOVERY mode.
enable usb ms toggle.
drag spl file to sd.
flash it like you flash your radio before.
done FLASHING SPL?
choose reboot.
comeback to rcoverry mode.
NOW URE READY TO FLASH MOST ROM IN THE BIBLE.
SuperE, Biffmod Froyo Leaving Jet Plain (not the one with ezterrys kernel), CM6 Froyo, and etc, needs dangerSPL.
danger/death SPL is the SPL i show u above.
and the SPL works well with the RADIO i show u above.
Read carefully the requirements of the ROMs.
Always do a wipe after flashing from SDcard.
Example of FLASHING SUPER E (u said u want eclair and i love ben very much):
1. download the super e rom.
it should be "signed-superE103.zip"
2. download the google apps for the rom. it contains market, gtalk, and any apps from google. it should be "gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip"
3. go into Recovery mode (home+power)
4. wipe SD Ext
5. repair SD Ext partition (from menu partition sdcard)
6. flash "signed-superE103.zip" ROM (put it in ur sdcard first using usb ms toggle)
7. reboot
8. do all wipe from recovery except wipe sd ext
9. flash the "gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip"
10. Reboot
11. DONE!!! Now ure running SUPER E by ben
12. Download a ton of apps from market!!
SETTINGS:
SPL 1.33.2005
RADIO 2.22.23.02
FAT32 SDcard
SWAP 96mb
512 ext2 --> ext3
HOPE this GUIDANCE will help u to walk straight the android way of life

Personally I recommends SuperAosp with GO Launcher EX (replace ADW Launcher). And recommending setting your SD card partition the same as mine. (see my sig)
hay man was just wondering if you figured it out yet.. i could help you real easy throu recovery so just message me or something if you still need help
hi all,
i know xda usually asks for people to read first before asking. I tried reading up on how to flash a new rom on g1 but i still don't really get it. ( im not very good with computer jargon), so i kinda need some help.
my friend's g1 was flashed with cyanogen mod 6.0.0 and it became very, VERY slow after a while. now, since he's not very big on cell phone hacking, he's come to me (i had an xperia x10 and i flashed that one) for help. but i don't know anything about the g1 and i don't know how to flash from one custom rom to another. can anyone give me some advice? i would really appreciate it.
thanks.
it all depends on what type of recovery he has, what his radio and hboot are and what type of rom he wants...
basic flashing is simple.. yu boot up in recovery by holding home+power.. this will bring up your recovery screen (usually the RA-dream or clockwork..)
in your case since i dont know anything about your phone i would DEFINETLY make a backup.. either nandroid or bart dont matter..
than you want to save that backup file to a pc or jus be sure not to delete it from your sd
than you can wipe your phone= data factory reset, cache, sd partition etc.. if neccessary.
than you want to repair your sd and make sure you are on correct ext.. some roms reqire ext2 some require 3, some 4 you get the picture..
at this point you are clean and ready to flash another .zip rom in recovery mode.. there all these lil details you gotta look out for or it wont work so send be back some info on the device and ill be glad to help out more!!
Guide(/essay) removed as I don't have this phone anymore, so can't update or change the guide with accurate information, which I haven't tested on my own device first Thanks for all the help from others.

Restoring tpt functionality
..
These are good explanations, very thorough.
I've picked up on a few things that could be added/edited.
1.) Gen 2 is a newer version of the radio firmware, as well as the different memory map
2.) Add Amon Ra Recovery as an alternative to CWM, I know it's not very popular but I find it good for partitioning.
3.) Add link to Mr Pigfish, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.apedroid.pigfish&feature=search_result
4.) On the Flashing ROM's section, I'd also add 'Go into Mounts and Storage and Select Format System'. Not needed, but recommended for the cleanest installation and hopefully fewer problems down the line.
5.) There's the CM7 Converter thing for people to use CM7 on a Gen 1 phone. It can be flashed via recovery.
6.) Add TPT link for Ginger Stir Fry (Over on MoDaCo) since it's popular.
7.) Remove or clarify 'Gen does not matter' under the TPT section, a few may take this that Gen 1 ROM's can be flashed on a Gen 2 device :/
8.) Put warnings/important things in big scary red writing.
9.) Bold and underline the headings e.g. Gen 1/Gen 2, TPT, Root etc.
10.) Personally, I'd say that the Firmware is more similar to the BIOS than Recovery. Recovery is probably most similar to Windows Recovery Environment.
I'm glad you explained what recovery is since it's a bit annoying when people don't know and don't bother to Google it, hopefully they'll read this and understand. I hope you find my comments constructive.
Partitioning your SD Card.
Why?
To create an EXT Partition for A2SD (Not to be confused with the Froyo Apps2SD).
Why do I want this?
For more space on the phone's internal memory and to allow certain apps like widget's to reside on 'internal' memory which may not be available if they were on the FAT32 Partition used by the Froyo Apps2SD method.
How do I do this?
There are a few ways to do this, I found this method the best. I'd recommend doing this before flashing a ROM with a full wipe to avoid issues.
1.) Create a full Backup in Recovery in case something goes wrong
2.) Mount the SD Card on Windows/Linux/Mac
3.) Copy the contents of the SD card into a folder on Windows/Linux/Mac
4.) Download Amon Ra Recovery - Gen 1 Gen 2 Ensure you download and verify you download the correct version. Flashing the wrong version i.e. Gen 1 on a Gen 2 will cause a lot of problems.
5.) Flash it with your existing recovery e.g. Clockworkmod
6.) Go back to Advanced > Reboot Recovery
7.) Scroll down to Partition SD Card
8.) Select Partition SD
9.) Swap Size 0 MB EXT Partition Size 512 MB/1024 MB - depends on the size of your SD card and the number of apps you have.
10.) Press Home to Confirm. ALL Data on your SD will be erased.
11.) Press back and select EXT2 to EXT3 for the best compatibility with A2SD scripts.
12.) Select USB-MS toggle
13.) Drag and drop the ROM you want to flash on your SD
14.) Disable USB-MS toggle.
15.) Flash .zip from SD Card.
16.) If you intend to use CM7 download S2E from the Market to enable A2SD. Tick the first two boxes in the app. Alternatively, if you want to ensure you have enough space for when the Google Backup & Restore happens I've uploaded the APK of S2E to install BEFORE you flash Gapps.
Enjoy.
BTW are you going to post the guide that you wrote in the first post on MoDaCo? It'll get more views there and subsequently be of more use.
If you have any further questions you can find me on MoDaCo with the same username, I'll do my best to help. I'm not a developer either for that matter.
Hello, hedgepigdaniel from modaco here.
Nice guide, I have a couple of suggestions/comments
I don't know if you are aware, but Gen2 blades do have TPT, they just use a different file format (image.bin rather than the .img and .mbn files). There are not as many custom layourts and such around, but I have just put one up for the purposes of unbricking. For that reason, I don't think its a good idea to recommend flashing via windows as protection from a brick anymore (especially because windows flashing goes horribly wrong every so often).
In the rooting section, why don't you link to kalt kaffes modified z4root instead - since it can root Gen2 blades aswell. For Gen2 blades, ROM manager from market is the the easiest way to install recovery.
I've written an unbricking guide in the last few days (that's where the Gen2 TPT is). You are welcome to make use of that if you like.
Glad I finally got enough posts to post in the development section...
..
TPT is not able to change the lowest level firmware file - partition.mbn. If you try to flash a TPT with a different partition.mbn then it just wont flash. You need windows to change the entire firmware. What wbaw has done (and I just repackaged his work as "custom") is create a mixture of files from Gen1 and Gen2, partition.mbn and the few files that have to match from Gen1, and the rest from Gen2. This makes it possible to TPT a Gen1 phone to a mixture that for all intents and purposes is Gen2. wbaw's TPTs can't be flashed to a real Gen2 phone because they have a Gen1 partition.mbn, but It would be equally possible for someone to make the opposite of what wbaw has made - a image.bin TPT with a Gen2 partition.mbn and co and Gen1 everything else (or just with a different partition layout), but no one has yet done so (and I haven't taken the time to work out how). So right now windows is the only way to go back to Gen1 from Gen2, but it doesn't have to be. More to the point, it isn't the only way to re-flash real Gen2 firmware, because I've now put a Gen2 image.bin in my unbricking guide. That's why I wouldn't recommend that people flash anything via windows with the aim of avoiding a brick.
You can use this tool by fonix232 to convert between multi-image TPTs and image.bin TPTs. If you start out with the multi image files from stock Gen2 firmware then you can create a image.bin that will flash on stock Gen2 phones as I have done.
EDIT: jsut to clarify, It's still fine to flash via windows as per my guide if you want to be able to flash all the TPTs that are out there on forums now, or to repartition or enable fastboot, its just not necessary as a safety measure.
Not sure if this is the best idea for 'n00bs' but there's an excellent partition tool for custom partitions.

By Ricardopvz
It works with the Windows Flasher and the TPT's.
Instructions for use:
1.) Open the program
2.) Drag the sliders or enter values for the partition layout you want
3.) Press Create files
4.) Open the TPT .zip
5.) Navigate to the directory with "partition_zte.mbn" and "appsboot.mbn"
6.) Replace the existing "partition_zte.mbn" and "appsboot.mbn" with the new ones.
Done.
Also, add How to flash the Gapps package/Where's my Market gone and difference between Stable, Nightlies etc. under the CM section since some people can't be bothered to Google it.
1.) Place the gapps file that you downloaded on the root of your SD Card
2.) Reboot into recovery
3.) Select Flash .zip from SD Card
4.) Confirm
5.) Reboot
6.) Done
What's the difference between Stable, Nightlies, Experimental and Alpha?
Stable versions are those where all known issues have been addressed and resolved. This version is for everyday use.
Test / RC versions are similar to the experimental versions, but are in the final stages of testing before being "stable". There may be a few bugs left, but this version is usually stable enough for everyday use.
Experimental / Alpha versions are those where new features are being added, modified, and tweaked, and there are known bugs that are being worked on. This version is for beta / alpha testers.
Nightly builds are daily compiled builds from source. This version therefore has the latest bleeding edge features & tweaks, but it is also the mostly likely to have bugs and issues.

CyanogenMod Tips/Solutions, some from the CyanogenMod Wiki here.
It's slow!
Remove stock launcher "ADW". It slows down the homescreen badly.
Recommended: "Launcher Pro" or "Gingerbread Launcher" from Market.
Omg I flashed CM7 and now I don't have Market!
You need to install the Gapps zip. Sign into your account on the First Time Setup screen and Market will activate
My Wi-Fi doesn't turn off/it's draining my battery!
The workaround for Wi-Fi sleep policy that doesn't seem work is download Green Power from the Market if you want your Wi-Fi off when your screen turns off.
Help, Nightly 1xx doesn't work properly/There's a bug!
They're nightlies, sometimes they don't work properly. Use the recommended Nightly from the Wiki Page or another ROM. Also, refer to the CM7 thread on MoDaCo linked below for possible fixes/workarounds.
I don't know what nightly to choose!
First check the CyanogenMod Wiki listed above the CM7 thread on MoDaCo here.
Read the last five pages on that thread for up to date info and feedback on the latest nightlies.
If you still don't know then post in the CM7 thread. Don't create an entire new thread to ask that question please.

I'd suggest you use the TPT method here since the process would be quicker than rooting it manually etc.: http://android.modaco.com/topic/337798-gen1-to-gen2-tpt-upgrade/
This will root the phone, install Clockworkmod recovery and put on a new 2.3 ROM as well. I'd suggest you use the Ginger Stir Fry one on that page.
I think z4root would work as well if you don't want to carry out the TPT method.
How's the guide going?
Thank you. I'll try it.

This thread dead?
..
It would be nice to take this thread further.
As JB is new to HD2, I decided to install ICS, and the ROM I love, is MIUI. so here is how I did it, maybe others like me are willing to install miui android 4 versions
# before first(!) you must know how to prepare your winmo HD2 to be able to run Android. so search the forums here, and find out!
# I have CLK 1.5 installed on my HD2. I don't know how to use MAGDLR. this how-to is based on clk.
I'm not reponsible for the damages you might do to your device. do this on your own risk.
0- repartition your SDcard by a partition manager. to have a 1)data partition, 2)1024MB or 512mb ext4 partition, 3)128MB swap space. I use gparted in Linux.
1- download the latest ICS version of MIUI roms form here
This is a nonEnglish webpage, you should click on the white button to download the ROM. then copy the zip file to your SDcard
The further versions are JB, not ICS, which are less stable and still under development. I feel ICS roms are more stable for HD2.
2- Turn off your HD2, then turn it on, while holding back btn (next to the power btn). here, go to the "settings" and change the system partition to 240mb, and cache partition to 10mb
3- Then reboot and go to the Recovery to install the ROM on NAND.
4- After installation complete, MIUI just run and everything is OK except language and wifi.
# to change the language which is chinees, follow these steps:
open the settings. (tap on the settings Icon!)
go to the right panel
come down to see a keyboard icon. it's under the clock icon
tap on the keyboard icon, and then tap on the first option. then you can change the language to English.
# wifi cannot find networks. to fix this, first you should install a file manager which can do ROOT jobs. I use Solid Explorer. root explorer can also do the job.
download this attachment. and extract AND OVER WRITE fw_bcm4329.bin INTO "SYSTEM/VENDOR/FRAMEWORK". more info here.
Extra Settings:
# I don't like this huge icons. I used to install Hyperdroid ROMS which had a smaller lcd density, and I feel it was more eye candy. to make this back, open build.prop in /system and find this line: ro.sf.lcd_density=240 and change the value to 200. lower values causes problem. 200 is just ok.
5- If you like to remove the carrier text and some other extra settings, you should flash ControlPanelSuite.
download the proper version from here and copy the zip file to the SDcard. now reboot to the Recovery and install this zip file. Then you'll have a "control panel" app icon and can change extra settings.
6- I use Gmail and Gtalk, which are not included in miui. Download Talk.apk & gmail.apk from this post and move them to /system/app folder by your root file manager. and change the permissions to be like other apps there. Then download the lib files, and copy them to /system/lib and fix the permissions. (if you don't use videochat from gtalk, it's not necessary)
7- Install Link2SD. it's a good tool to move apps specially games to the ext partition. I don't like the native app2SD script in ROMs which link the whole apps to te ext. because if you remove sdcard, every thing begins to force close. because they were all on the ext partition. but in Link2SD you can keep important apps in the internal memory and link games or whatever you want to the ext partition.
8- any body has a good camera app?!

Moving this to General.

MIUI wad my favorite rom. The problem is that with GB roms, there is no HWA. So I tried to do what you said here, but it seems very slow too, more than GB roms. Do you have the same problem ?
Miui rom 2.12.14 jb
For those who are interested in the latest MIUI Rom for the HD2, it's available on miuiandroid.com including a multilanguage pack.
Here are the links:

multilang pack miuiandroid.com/community/threads/miui-multi-lang-2-12-14-ics-jb.19015/
I'm running it currently on my HD2-Tmous and it's really :good:

These are weakly roms, and after 2.11.30 which is ICS, next versions are JB. I installed JB, but it was more slowner than ICS. more than that, in my opinion miui JB versions are still under development, but ICS has reached a little stability.
data partition? mount as /data? size?
Hi guys.
Yesterday I got a used HTC HD2. It is installed with android nand and the DFT (Dark Forces Team) rom, I think taken from the DESIRE (according to the information on the 'About').
The main problem in the device is that it has really bit memory! After installing few apps, I cant download a thing :/
So I searched for the problem and I've realized that I need to make a partition on the SD-CARD. However I saw that in the market there are apps that allow moving the application that can only sit in the internal memory to the external memory.
I then found out that the phone doesn't have root access too. (Although it came with SUPERUSER app as default).
I can't find the main thread of the rom in order to ask there how to root the device.
Which software / app, will I need recovery installed (althogh I don't think it requires) and ETC.
Please can someone direct me or just give me names of apps/softwares/guides/anything :crying:
I guess GOOGLE could be my assitstant from there.
I'm afraid to follow guides that I don't sure will work properly with my phone's software.
Thank you.

Yesterday I got a used HTC HD2. It is installed with android nand and the DFT (Dark Forces Team) rom, I think taken from the DESIRE (according to the information on the 'About').
The main problem in the device is that it has really bit memory! After installing few apps, I cant download a thing :/
So I searched for the problem and I've realized that I need to make a partition on the SD-CARD. However I saw that in the market there are apps that allow moving the application that can only sit in the internal memory to the external memory.
I then found out that the phone doesn't have root access too. (Although it came with SUPERUSER app as default).
I can't find the main thread of the rom in order to ask there how to root the device.
Which software / app, will I need recovery installed (althogh I don't think it requires) and ETC.
Please can someone direct me or just give me names of apps/softwares/guides/anything :crying:
I guess GOOGLE could be my assitstant from there.
I'm afraid to follow guides that I don't sure will work properly with my phone's software.
Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for your kindly help.
Which Android version do you suggest to change to ?
ICS ? Or maybe GingerBread ?
And BTW I entered before to the MAGDLR menu, chosed the " AD Recovery " option and it said something like " no boot source ".
Does that mean that I don't have a recovery installed ?
And if so, will I need to install it first and then change the rom ?
Again, Thank you for your help.
Peleg.
yes you will need recovery...fast roms are mostly GB but ICS are as good as well...GB need less space on rom memory so if you don't install alot of craps as most of us do the remaining space will be fine for your data...ICS have hwa, apps work faster and games play better..I recommend ICS by tytung to be honest(very fast and stable)...when you download the recovery you will see a "flash.cfg" file...on the rom thread the developer will state the partitions needed for his rom and so you change the numbers on that file accordingly before flashing the recovery...but always make system space little bigger than needed just in case(and to avoid other problems that i will have a finger cramp if i write them down.! )

Thank you.
I will first install the recovery, but I guess I'll have to read a lot before:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021837
Then I will search for a guide for installing recovery-
CWM will be great right ?
Thank you very much !!! :laugh:
The guide you linked is very useful and makes everything clear. I strongly recommend reading it thoroughly before doing anything. Once you're slightly more comfortable with the terms, you can follow the guide in my sig to flash CWM and a ROM. You already have HSPL, a compatible Radio version and MAGLDR installed so don't worry about any of those. If you happen to come across guides which say 'task29' just ignore that step, Task29ing is completely useless.
As for recommending a ROM, it depends on your usage. Eliaskammas' post sums it up nicely, but you should note that (IMO) ICS and JB will give you worse day to day performance and stability than GB but will be better for intensive activities e.g. gaming, web browsing, using content-heavy apps etc. I've also found battery drain to be marginally more on ICS and JB ROMs.

Hi.
Thank you for your advices and technical help.
I will read it as soon as possible and then try to install the CWM Recovery and a better Rom.
According to what I saw, I think I will go on the "Energy rom" (Sense 3.5).
I will probably update my progresses here.
Thank you a lot.
BTW, a deodexed rom is needed for languages that are written from right to left ?
Or that I have to find a rom supports RTL ?
Beacuse for example, I've searched the thread of the Energy rom for "Hebrew" and found out that it doesn't supports RTL :/
Thank you.
I don't want to confuse you but I personally have always found Sense based ROMs to be slow and I think you should really stick to CM or MIUI. Anyway, that's really just my opinion.
Unfortunately, I think that you may have to find a ROM which supports RTL. I haven't looked into it but there may well be an app which somehow makes it work. If you're desperate for Android with Sense and RTL support then you could consider some of the SD ROMs from boxmax, he made good SD ROMs (at least when I used it), but I don't know which NAND ROMs will work for you.

Hi Nigeldg.
I took your advice and I think I will go on this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639932
It supports rtl and data2ext.
But do I need to change my HD2's kernel ? To Dorimanx 's kernel ?
And from the guide that you've recommended on before, do I need to start from this part:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12656427&postcount=3
And to skip the other parts ?
I've read the hole guide and it is very helpful.
Everything is really clearer.
There's no need to change the kernel after flashing, but you can if you want to. I think the dorimanx krrnel is included in that rom anyway so i don't see why you'd want to flash it again. Follow the new way method and everything should be fine. You can use the NAND toolkit to select the appropriate partition size.

Hi Nigeldg.
I now want to install the CWM (long time hh)..
In this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639932
It says to install CWM with this partition size:
" Flash the Latest CWR (Clockwork Recovery) with the appropriate partition sizes by using the "Repartition" button inside the HD2ToolKit: System: 200MB | Cache: 5MB "
In the thread of CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
Can I change the partition sizes used for CWM
A. You can by editing the flash.cfg but this is not recommended, CWM is designed to make it easier for switching roms, by flashing a custom partition size you may stop other roms working and require reflashing a new partition size when you want to change roms.
Q. I dont know which partition size to download
A. Depending on what type of roms you plan on using, you should choose the partition size based on the following.
150MB Partition - For bare roms including CyanogenMod, AOSP, and MiUI
250MB Partition - For Standard sense roms including Desire and EVo based ROMs, can also be used for some squashed HD builds
400MB Partition - For Larger roms including unsquashed Desire HD and Z roms, ROMs REQUIRE data2sd for EU HD2 with 512MB NAND
And in the thread in your sig it is possible to download 3 version of the CWM. (150, 250, 400).
How do I need to install the CWM ?
To download the 250MB version, and using the HD2ToolKit to change the partition size and install with System: 200MB | Cache: 5MB (as the rom developer suggested) ?
Thank you!
The thread you've linked to is the old CWM thread. I don't see why it says that you shouldn't change the partition sizes because that's simply not true, pretty much all ROMs use custom sizes. Ignore that advice, it's wrong. In my opinion the easiest thing to do is to download the HD2 NAND Toolkit, click 'MAGLDR repartition', choose 200 and you're done.

Ok.
So I've downloaded the HD2 ToolKit.
Actually what I need to do is this:
1. To choose the 200MB and 5 Cache and then press repartition. (In what way does the phone need to be ? MAGDLR Menu, or other option ? )
2. Then to install the CWM by going to MAGDLR - USB Flasher, connect to the computer, and run the
DAF.exe.
Right ?
1. Open the toolkit
2. Click the MAGLDR repartition tab and select 200 and change the cache size to 5
3. Click 'repartition' (bottom left of the toolkit)
4. Follow the instructions it gives you (boot your phone into USB flasher mode then connect it to your PC) and let it flash.

If I've already did it, just do this thing again and it will work ?
because now my phone cant load to the rom, it says NAND Kernel something and boots up to MAGDLR.
Is it OK ?
EDIT:
I've did it and chosed the "AD Recovery" option.
Now I can see that I have CWM Recovery!!
I thought that I had to choose somehow to install the CWM, and that's why I didn't understand.
Now,
Do you recommend to do wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache ?
And after that to install from CWM the ROM that I've transferd to the Root of the SD right ?
Thank you very much !!!
You don't need to wipe anything, that already happened when you flashed CWM. Yes you should just have to flash the ROM now, as said in the guide in my sig. You may want to create an EXT partition but for your particular ROM it's not a necessary step so you can skip that. Glad I could help

It isn't necessary because it automaticly transfer the data to the SD ?
During the installation a message showed up saying that the rom identified that I don't have an EXT-partition installed.
Can I make a partition using the CWM/ADVANCED/PARTITION-SD ?
Thank you so much for your help!!
You saved me, and becuase of you I didn't sell the phone.
Thank you!!
It isn't necessary because the ROM itself is quite light, so all of it can be fit on to the NAND memory. It would help to create one because you may need it in the future, so I personally would if I were you. The way you described would work fine

Please include a guide to return to stock.
In order to claim warranty, one needs to return to stock ROM / recovery.
This is my first non-samsung device, so I am not familiar with how to do this for this device.
Please include a guide on how to get the phone back to 'everything-stock' in case phone has to be returned for repair during warranty period.
Thank You !

Is a very common function and very useful.
All the phones I've used so far have this feature .
Surprised that this one doesn't (or is well hidden).
Is there a 3rd party app for contacts that provides this feature?
Does the custom ROM mentioned have this?

Can we swap phone storage with internal or external SD card?
Phone storage is just 0.99 Gb.
This gets filled up pretty fast as you install apps. Even though app data is installed in external sd card, it seems the app itself occupies some space in phone storage.
Can we swap phone storage with the internal sdcard (1.6 Gb) or extremal sd card (up to 32 Gb) ?
This will allow the installation of even more apps?
I believe apps like 'Root internal 2 external' could do this but I would like some some advise from the experienced users in this thread?
Thanks!

Yes, I too have installed large games like Modern Combat 4, Injustice, Amazing Spiderman etc without issues,
Although huge chunk of the app gets installed in the external SD card, each app still takes a peice of the 0.99 GB phone storage.
Soon this fills and there is a 'storage' warning error, though there are GBs free in the internal & external SD card.
This is what I'm refering too.
And now your reply has confused me.
You can select 'Default write disk' as external SD card... so what is the need for Link2SD app ?
I installed all the above games without any such app ?
Thanks
Edit : I see that after rooting you can move more apps to SD card that we could not earlier.
