[Q] android on main storage and roms?

hey guys,
i have a lot of questions...
i tried android on my hd a lot of times....
the first times it worked finde but the latest roms are all crashed after a while
after deep sleep they are all freezing...
so the first question, is it an issue of my rom i´m using?
which one are you using for android? especially the devs which one are you using to try youre andrid?
i think its the best way if evertybody is using the same one to find out whick´h errors are comin from the windows rom or from android?
okay next question...
why is it not possible to install the cab on the main storage of the hd? a lot of errors are issued by the slow spped of the sd card? in my opinion it would fix a lot of probs if we can install android on the main storage, it would imrpove speed and saves sd card?
i´m not a dev so i don´t know if there is any possibility or not, its just a question for my understanding
i´m really looking forward to see a android rom for he hd bur i know its hard work for our devs here...
maybe we can make a bonus, everybody who wants a rom for android will pay 10 euros or dollar in jackpot and the guy who make a rom working will win the pot ;-)
thanxs for your answers and sorry for that bad german english
best wishes from germany
tom

is there really nobody who lnwos any answers?

it's just useless to reply because it has already been explained 10.000 times all over. If you at least 'd take the time to read

where is it explained which rom each dev is using? is ther any thread? if yes pls show me, cause i read a lot of time here.
and where is exaxtly written why we definitly canßt use the mainstorage?

We still need windows to initialize a lot of the hardware before launching android, for the moment.
At the moment, we cannot figure out the way to initialize it before booting android, this is why there's no android ROM ready.
Besides, there's still a lot more urgent/important things to do before (Deep sleep causing crashes, HW3D not working on Blackstone, and battery life, for example)

It's explain, countless time.
READ
then read again.
It's in the virtually all the main FAQ's.
AND this isn't a f**king ROM... THAT is explained in the FAQ's too.

oh i think you got me wrong. i don't want to install it like a rom. my questiin was about installing the cab on the mainstorage instead of the sd card. cause the reading time of the sd will be the biggest ussue which makes android slow and will causetbe problem of the waiting for... problems.

Please, there's no need to be rude, even if those questions were already asked and answered countless time, you're just losing your own time.

For the moment, we don't have access to the mainstorage from android, only the sdcard, if I remember correctly.

Alright people!
I am the developer of the SenseHERO rom for the HTC Hero (http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698281). I have recently obtained a HTC Touch HD so I will begin developing for you when I get some spare time.
Has anybody yet been successfully in getting tinboot working from NAND yet? If not then I may have to get my hands dirty and see what I can achieve just for experimental purposes obviously with the full awareness that alot of work will be needed to get hardware properly initialized.
If we get stuck the best person to get info for this would be DZO who made android from NAND a reality for the Vogue/Kaiser who are now running it on their Devices as stable & fast as the Native Android Phones..

[Q] How to Lock up your Nexus one (please read)

I want to demonstrate to someone how the phone can get stuck on something like bootloader or failed rom installations.
I currently have a nexus one with the bootloader still locked (but rooted). I dont want to try anything and render the phone dead. So I want to know if there is a for sure way t put the phone in a mode where it looks as if it doesn't work, yet be able to recover from it easily. Asking for opinions first.
I still want to have my phone maintained such that the bootloader stays locked.
Thanks

Turning the phone off makes it look likes it doesn't work.
P.S why are you doing this though? Really? Is it to make someone think their phone is broken so you can buy it cheap then fix it and keep it?

Didn't think of that. Maybe i should.
No, to make someone understand the process that I go through in updating the phone so that they can stop bothering me while Im doing it.
Edit:
I just realized that your post was so condescending. I asked a question and phrased it accordingly, to "demonstrate."
Don't you just love it when people express their opinion not knowing the entire story.
Try opinionating for the better, the next time.
And yeah, don't forget to help out people every now and then.
Thanks for your HELP!

haha no worries

If i understand what you are asking, try backing up your rom, then flash completely different rom without wiping. That should by all accounts give you a bootloop.

Might be easier to have them watch some youtube vid's of flashing, rooting, unlocking, etc. They then should get the idea...

I would just nandroid and wipe my phone (I dunno how well that'd go I've never tried it but I don't see how it could totally brick your phone, who knows!)

I don't know if you've got anything flashed on your phone, but if not flash a recovery then yeah, flash any different rom without wiping and you should get boot loops.

Format /system
That should do it... xD

not sure i get what you mean, "wipe" is a loose term here, wipe is generally associated with "data" wipe so it wont matter, it would just reset my phone to factory settings

For the record, I think this is a fair question, and not particularly condescending.
OP: You are asking a legit question, but you have to admit it's a bit of a strange request. You can't blame people for wondering what you're up to, I thought the same thing. Not that you were scamming someone, but couldn't understand why you'd want to do this (I get it now... sort of). It's an impersonal forum, so there shouldn't be any hard feelings.

One thing that constantly caused bootloops in the CyanogenMod forum was to flash the Froyo gapps with a Gingerbread install. Bootloop every time.
You could probably flash a theme that wasn't designed for Gingerbread. I'd bet that would give you a bootloop (especially the further you go back... flash a cupcake theme for a G1 onto an N1 )

Maybe I'm just being cynical but it seems to me that the OP is doing something shady here. He wants to do something that makes no sense and then immediately jumps down the throat of someone who basically calls him for it. His reasoning for why he wants to do this nonsensical thing is also pretty nonsensical. I'd guess he's trying to scam something from someone.

Yes, I completely agree with your first statement. YOU ARE BEING CYNICAL!!!
Ok as an avid lover of my phone (nexus one), I have the right to ask the means of breaking this phone if i'm going to root it and install a ROM which is only supported by the community that helps develop it (that includes primarily folks over at XDA). If you think I'm upto no good, too bad. Assume the worst, do whatever the F*** you want. All I'm trying to do is show my cousin what a bootlooped phone looks like. And apparently each time I am in the process of doing it, he wants to use the pc. He likes killing all the running apps when he's on the PC, and i need to stop him from screwing up something that can potentially f*** up my phone. I often switch from Stock N1 to CM7 to blandroid, and thankfully i follow directions which is why my phone hasn't boot looped til date.
Yes I jumped throat on the 1st person who responded, but look at my response before jumping throat. I didn't really think of the response as condescending, until had posted my answer, hence the edit.
Don't bother posting such crappy posts unless you want to feel like you're getting scolded by the DA's office for wrongful accusation.
C

Well you cannot blame people for coming up with these various speculations. My 2 cents, but you just redirect your energy towards your cousin more rather then get angry over forum post.
The way I see your situation is this. The PC used to flash your phone, who is the owner? If you own it, tell him to wait like a good little boy or he can GTFO of your computer, ban him. Or if the PC belongs to him, maybe it's time you suck it up and respect when and how he wants to use his PC, and flash your phone using another instead. Or maybe get a job and buy your own?
Time to man up. Either you tell him to GTFO of your PC, or you GTFO of his. Simple solution to what I see to a simple matter. No need to complicate things by semi-bricking your phone.

Either show him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I5XaDAuiEs
OR
Stop trying to make your cousin think he's broken you phone in order to ..
a) get him to pay for a replacement and/or
b) scare the crap out of him

In dire need of help

Im afraid I have done a terrible mistake..
I was going to update the recovery of an HTC hero I just got but flashed the wrong recovery my mistake (HTC hero CDMA)... Now I cant enter recovery and I have no rom installed.
I am trying to do the command from fastboot.
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img
but I just get "error: device not found"
Im also trying
fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\Micke\Downloads\recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img
but now I get message
"sending 'recovery' (3972 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)"
Please I need help, how can I solve this
Thanks for any response....

Can you get in to Hboot if so try the comands there had a simalar problem with my ex girlfriends G1 had to have the phone in Hboot in order to reflash recovery from PC

Thanks for the response, I have tried HBOOT but It just says "sending 'recovery'" but nothing happens, been waiting for maybe 10 mins now.
Thats when I am trying "fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\Micke\Downloads\recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img"
if I try "adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img" I just get the same message as in Fastboot
"error: device not found"

Have you tryed making a gold card for the phone??
BTW sorry to ask have you got all the device drivers installed (if on windows)
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab using Tapatalk

I have a Nexus one so I do have the sdk. Never really installed any other drivers but before I flashed the wrong recovery I could do "adb" - commands, thats how I flashed the wrong recovery. So I think I have the right driver, otherwise I would not be able to do any "adb" commands, right? Please tell me if I am wrong and where I can download HTC hero drivers if that is the case.
have not tried making a gold card but I will Google it now. Please point me in the right direction if possible.
Thanks again for helping me.

Look at rooting guides for hero for gold card and sounds like u have the right drivers.
If nothing works try download the HTC Hero updater from the HTC site then reroot the device.
Sent from my HTC Hero running Cronos Ginger X using Tapatalk

I have downloaded htc sync, could not find htc hero updater. But it does not find the phone... Trying too look further into "gold card", not sure exactly what it does but It seems that I have to install apps... But as it is right now... I can only access fastboot/Hboot... cannot enter recovery or boot the phone to install apps.

I'm sorry but I can offer no help, but just wanted to offer my support that this must really suck to be going through. I hope these clever people can help you out. Have you posted this same question in the CDMA hero forum as well? they have even more active devs there I think and might also be able to help you out.
best of luck...

*looking at myself* Done that once
And it booted. well I only had nothing XD so then I reflashed the Hero GSM one and it worked, since then I got crappy connection to mobile net at home. But the rest of the world is fine XD so that is weird. But I think I was lucky.

I'd claim that you're dramatically less stupid (much more clever, to be more accurate) and only a teeny tiny bit less young.

this doesn't surprise me one bit...
so out of curiosity, if development isn't your actual interest in life... any idea what you do want to do in a few years? Like at your age I was already an accomplished classical violinist and knew that being a musician was not only something I was particularly talented at but also really really loved to do - instant career choice. It just turns out that I can make a lot more money as a developer LoL which I also am good at and also love doing!
But yea - you're obviously quick thinking and the curious type who likes to figure out and solve problems, so I'll be interested to find out what you end up doing in life.
I wonder if we'll both be on here for years chatting about the latest octo-core phones and complaining about how we can't get GPS and CAMERA to run properly when we try to get android 2017 to run properly on our "old" hardware LoL

Nah that aint it XD I got no idea really. I am into craft building/designing. Space stuff then. I got a complete design of a spacecraft on my laptop. And according to some wizenuts, its possible XD....
But yea money... XD fail that system

[Q] Just bought a brand new Tmobile HD2

Not really sure where to start. So much going on development wise. want to run android mainly but willing to try other os's. Need a little hd2 noob help.

Wow, there have been so many of these threads in the past few days for some reason. Pick a ROM from the NAND dev section, flash it using the guide in my sig. Since you've been here since late 2010 you probably realise that I can't really recommend a ROM, you're going to have to choose for yourself.

I was just overwhelmed with the abundance of threads. I plan on flashing away. My unlocked atrix hd literally took a static shock from the charger to the charger port, stopped charging and I needed something less than $200. The hd2 fit the bill. The only major thing I will be missing is the monster battery life I get with the maxx battery mod.

if you say that you're a noob and don't know where to start but want to run android the first thing to do is to install HardSPL and MAGLDR which will allow you to install custom roms to your HD2. Once you get this far the gate is open to start playing

I wouldn't say noob. But he hd2 had so much going on. I'm actually returning it though because its clearly refurbed and the seller on eBay is still denying it. The screen is lifting and the screws have been tampered with. I've since moved on to the nexus 4, If it ever gets here with all this damn snow.

Time to say Goodby to HD2

I believe it's time to move on and get a new device already. My HD2 had a long and fulfilling carrier (4 years). it was flashed about a million times, with all kind's of OS's.The hardware buttons are not working so good anymore, and the screen started to fade. It is working perfectly normal, the SlimRom is on it and i think it'll probably be the last one that i flashed.
Now I have my eyes on Xiaomi Mi2s. What do you guys think of it?

i ‘m a chinese，in China ，Xiaomi MI2s is 1999 RMB，
Advantage：Strong configuration
Shortcomings：severe fever
I recommend you to buy MEIZU MX2 or HTC

i think it's the best phone ever but the chronic problem of screen display is annoying, i will wait for htc hd3

I have got an HD2 and a OneX, and in my opinion, even if the OneX is much more powerful and is much newer, i do prefer HD2: I simply adore it, i've tried many roms, many android versions and every time a new version of android is released, it ends out that HD2 can run it... i really hope mine will never break, otherwise i will cry a lot
moreover, I would like to thank all of the developers that never let that phone die
just like twoxx said, i too suggest you to buy a new hd2, it's probably the only device in the world that can run so many different OS...

lost the plot
broke the hd2 that I still have, and probably will never let go...
A new age A new time

this is very bad , buy a new HD2
