Hi guys,
I have an old HTC HD2 and today i have been trying to find a version of android that installs on the internal memory (NOT on the sdcard, which I don't have). I think it has to be a DAF file? On several sites and tutorials I have seen people having some version of android installed on the phone, but i have been looking on here for a few hours now but I'm not able to find any... Does it still exist? I already task29 my phone so i think it's completely formatted and has no OS on it now, so If anyone knows a link to a android version that can be installed on the phone memory without sd card, it would help me a lot!
Thanks in advance!
I think those builds are still available, but you need to search in the very od threads. ANd you need to make sure it is Sense 1.0 because newer versions are larger so either you would not have enough space for user data or the ROM would not fit internal storage anyway.

Hi there,
I have two questions concerning Android:
1. Is it possible to partition a, let's say 16GB sd card, into two of 8GB each? So that one I can use for WM and one for Android?
In this context, my second question: Where does Android, if I start it with HaRET, the apps save when I download apps from the store? Does this information interfere with Windows Mobile if it is not saved separately?
Thank you a lot!
Kind of. If you look around the other android device forums, you'll see stuff mentioning "Apps2SD". This basically is a 600mb ext2 linux partition where all your apps would be installed (haven't bothered but will probably do this next!).... an absolute must for 2.1 Eclair users, less so for 2.2 Froyo rom users since there's an "official" App2SD solution. Don't think there's a specific way to separate the two yet.
Any apps you are currently installing in Android are getting written into the data.img file.
Finally, if a Mod is looking at this thread, can we have a "HD2 Android General" forum for Android-HD2 specific questions? This Dev thread is getting messy.
Thanks a lot for your answer. Will check on this.
But what about the partitioning of an sd card? I would like to have Android an WM separated on my memory card, especially because I have to have a clean sd card and put the files into the root.
hi there
what tool can be used to open the data.img file, is this possible?
use zipscan to do this it's in the guide
Hello everyone!
I'm thinking of upgrading to the Legend from the Jade and i read somewhere that apps cannot be installed on the memory card. Is this true? I sure hope not! The built in memory of the legend surely is not enough for the apps that i would like to install in it. Appreciate and thanks for the feedback in advance!
Android 2.1 does not allow apps to be stored on sd card, the forth coming android 2.2 software upgrade does allow this.
Hi,
I recently installed some NAND android (i.e. miui 1.4.29) roms (magldr), they work perfectly. I also partitioned my sd card with 1GB ext3(also tried other values) and in my system info it says there is available a2sd+ memory. But on every rom and with every install I have a maximum of +-7.5MB internal memory space of which +-1.5MB is free to use. So if I install 1 app my memory is full and i can't read my sms messages etc.... Why do other users have 100MB+ free space? Is there a way to check where all that memory is being used? (overall?), At install I wiped my device fyi.
thanks in advance,
Jo

hi,
Are you flashing the correct cwm recovery that the Dev recommends in the [OP]?
Flashed from my fingers to your face
I've got a worse problem, I'm trying several ROMs for my HTC HD2 but each and every ROM only gives me like 0.5 MB internal memory....I'm lost i don't any idea what to do , any suggestions for me?
Setting the correct partition size each rom?

can you tell us your device spec, magldr/clk/ partition size/flash.cfg etc
my guess is...you have EU HD2 and you flashed a 350> partition
did you install a radio that allows 576mb ram? I am not an expert but that is needed and there are several available. Also, post as many details about your phone and what you did so that the Developers have enough information to help you better.

this is an excellent guide I thought that it was stickied but I cant find it, just scroll until you find the guide. make sure you followed all the steps.
hope this helps.

If he hadn't, magldr wouldn't start, android wouldn't boot.

Hi, reading all these posts has confused me - Can Android be installed and run from internal phone memory?
I have 2 SD cards, but none of them is working, unfortunately.
Other issue - how can I format SD and split it in 4 parts? I have no port on my PC to put there microSD (which blackstone has), so it seems impossible for me to format my SD.
I have tried to install Android for numerous times, but the instructions are so hard to understand, I haven't managed
Is there any youtube video showing step by step (and describing) process (including what files should be downloaded and used)???
I have flashed my phone with WIN6.5 like a million times, that is easy, everything is understandable, but Android is like chinese alphabet
Thanks in advance

1. Android cannot be installed to run from internal memory at this point in time. There's people working on it, but until HaRET (running off SD card) is stable, it won't be stable running from internal memory either...
2. You can attempt to add some lines to your startup.txt that *could* help your SD card issues:
Code:
msmsdcc_1bit msmsdcc_fmax=14000000 msmsdcc_nopwrsave
3. I might be biased here (yea, definitely biased ) but my build (FRX07.1) does not require partitioning of your card. One partition is all you need .
However, there are some advantages to partitioning the card, and I wouldn't want to completely discourage you from using other builds - if you're on Windows, there's a great utility called 'Mini Partition Wizard' or something to that effect. Works well.
There are some videos on how to partition, but they're not up to date. I would start with my build, since it doesn't require partitioning. Once you get sick of it, come back and partition your card and give the other builds a whirl. ThaiDai's app helps with that.
As The Title Suggests, Is There Any Way To Install A ROM Onto A 16GB MicrSDHC (class 10) Instead Of The Phones Internal Memory?
I 'Googled" It For Several Hours, Unfortunately Did Not Find An Answer.
Let Me Explain Further As To What I'm Really Trying To Accomplish. I Want To Flash A(ny) ROM Onto The MicroSD Card So I Will Have The Entire Internal Memory Free On My G1. And Then (if at all possible) Somehow Use The Internal Storage As Extended RAM.
Even If This Seems "Close To Impossible", Could Someone With Enough Knowledge (a dev?) Explain How Something Like This "Could" Be Accomplished??
Thanks For Your Time! Can't Wait To Read What People Have To Say About This..
Ideas & Possible Solutions Are Better Than Just Saying 'It Can't Be Done..etc'
As for installing a rom onto sdcard (even on ext2 partition as it is being done on the HTC Fuze/Diamond/Topaz/etc windows series phones), it is completely possible, but it is very slow.. i don't see why you would want to do that even compared to NAND install if you have lots of ram
I used to be a developer for the HTC Fuze (Touch Pro) and made a 2.2 aosp SD-ext rom, it still isn't as fast as the G1 even though it has slightly higher specs: 288 ram, msm7201a (same cpu as htc dream)..
You can't extend the RAM, but you can make it swapspace. It would kill the internal memory very quickly because it is only yaffs and has a limited number of read and writes...

Google Android rom's or Operating systems have rules and limits, I do know androids 2.2 did not allow system files to run outside /system folder, now it's allowing more as you see lot's of rom's using /ext (linux partitions) I do not know all the limits, but do believe there has to be a part of the rom in internel memory to be able to boot sd-card
