You could try using another camera to video, one hand recording camera one hand using your phone, should work fairly easy.
yep if i had camera to use
my other hd2 doesnt seem to want to work right anymore sorry
Bugs
Hi at all I have installed this rom and I founded two problems in it.
The first is an error message that appear each time I turn on my phone. In this message is written approximately: system process has stopped unexpected.
The second is related to the YouTube app update. The videos don't start playing...I don't know why.
My installation is:
EU HD2 with clk, system partition of 400 Mb, dataonext, zram activated, with a 16Gb class10 SD card (about 12.9 Gb Fat32, 2 Gb Ext4, 256 Mb Swap).
Hope someone could help me.

I had always thought that were the same thing or that they are both required if I want to increase RAM amount. I have always used together since 2.3.7 ROMs.
So what do you suggest?
If I have a swap partition on my sd card, I need to do something to use it whit this ROM or it will be used atomatically?
Problem updating google search
I have a tmobile USA with this Rom on nand and 256 swap on sd. 400mb and 5 cache, magldr. When i open google seach the background is black and seems modifided. I tried both 4.2.2 V7.0 and this rom and this one seems for me seems to work better with animations. Other than that they are both are great roms. The only problem that i have with this rom V 3.0 is that i need to update google search. I tried to uninstall it with toolbox and it unistalled but i still could not install from the market. Has anybody been able to update google search? In V 7.0 i updated it normally i think is because the black background in the app google search in this rom. In V 7.0 it has a normal background.

Well....
zram and swap-partition are two different things.
If you activate zram then android will use parts of your internal ram as a kind of "zram-partition". Internal ram is a very fast memory, so zram-method is very fast, but makes internal ram smaller.
If you activate swap then your swap-partition on sd-card will be used in order to outsource parts of internal ram.
So you can enlarge your internal ram, but it is not like 500 mb internal ram + 300 mb swap = 800 mb ram.
That's not true.
If you use swap-partition it depends on "Swappiness"-value how android will use swap.
For example:
Swappiness 30 means:
30 percent of all write actions into ram will be outcourced to swap-partition and 70 percent of all other write actions will be written on internal ram.
Swappiness 100 means:
Nearly nothing will be written on internal ram any more, all write actions will be outcourced to swap-partition.
I said "nearly" because some little things will be written on internal ram further on.
If you have a very fast sd-card - you can speed up your phone with this method.
The decition between zram and swap depends on how you are using your phone.
If you have a fast sd-card you can use swap-partition if your sd-card is slow - then zram is better for you.
If there are running many apps in background that must stay in background like antivirus-apps, whatsapp, taskkillers and so on,
i prefer using a swap partition instead of zram.
If you do not run many apps in background and if your are only using those playstore apps like games and so on that will be started and after using them they can be ended and erased out of memory by androids internal memory manager, then your system might be a little bit snappier by using zram.
I use a 64gb sandisk extreme sd-card and swap-partition / swappiness 100. This speeds up my system a little bit. no zram.
If you are using pixeldroids rom, then nos-injection-script activates zram automatically. if you want to use swap an no zram - you have to
erase those lines out of init.d-script "nos-injection-4cylturbo" :
# KERNEL zRAM ================
#=============================
#
# This will only work if your kernel supports zRAM!
# so your kernel DOES NOT have zRAM? Then this script won't work!!!
echo "1" > /sys/block/zram0/reset
echo $((60*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram0
After that you have to activate swap-partition.
If you installed pixelfreaks rom, then you were able to activate swap in aroma-installer during your installation of your rom.
If you activated swapping in aroma - then only erase those lines above in nos-injections-script and finished.
If you didn't activate swapping in aroma, you have to activate it manually by using playstore-app "swapper" or by using an
init.d-script.
you can extract init.d-script "99swap" out of pixelfreaks rom-zip-file and put it into system/etc/init.d in your rom on your phone.
open script with a text-edior an set swappiness to value you decided.
set permissions to -rwxrwxrwx and reboot. Finished!!
Pixelfreaks nos-injection automatically sets readahead-value to 4096. This value runs with most sd-cards.
In my case it slows down my sd-card a little bit. My sd-card runs faster with readahead 6144. you have to try which value
is best for your sd-card in order to speed your system a little bit up.

Your post really help me understanding better this things
I think I will do a backup with titanium and after I will do a clean install to be more sure Issues with V2 on Hd2. Help needed.
Hi Pixelfreak & Kameirus,
Thanks for Helping all, I am also having same issues too. Here the operator is the network provider like O2 in UK & At&t in US. I am new to Android on HD2, but have been following your work for sometime now. I am facing another problem. I cannot reboot to recovery. When ever I try, phone goes to bootloader MAGLDR, then after that it boots into PixelDroid. Please tell me if I have missed some thing ? How can I install new V3 without going into recovery ?
My Phone is LEO-EU

Hi twoxx, your post really helped me a lot to understand why I have some issues with speed, hangs and sometime not responding touch screen.
If i got you right then zram is enabled by default in pixelfreaks rom. Right?
That's my problem since I didn't activate swap. No need for me until i started using this rom. My System often needs a lot of time to boot. Nova is hanging sometimes and have to be restarted, apps are not responding or slow.
I have lots of apps and many of them like to start a process at boot although i deactivated their boot receivers. After a long period, when everything is settled after boot and processes are killed by me everything is working normal until I use an app which allocate a lot of ram like browser, mail etc. Then everything slows down again.
Do you think disabling zram without activating swap can speed up my system a bit? Otherwise i have to do a lot of Backup stuff and repartition my sd to activate swap afterwards (no swap partition on card yet)
Thanks.

I think so
Disabling zram without activating swap is worth a try. I always recognize a little speed-up when i restarted my phone after i disabled zram and swap-script wasn't loaded.

Thanks, I give it a try then without swap partition. In the meantime i prepare a second sdcard with swap partition and see if I can mirror my NativeSD roms to it.

if you use twrp-recovery you can do a backup of your nativesd roms and restore it on the new sd-card.
you can do the same with tytungs native-sd recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1434860

post them here not in the rom thread
failure to add the info below will result in your question not being answered untill you add the below info to your post
when posting about a problem please include which install you used [nand, dataonext or nativesd]
which bootloader you are using [clk or magldr]
and what partition size you used if its a nand or dataonext install
and any relevant information you can think of ::: for instance..[i installed poweramp and my problem started2this is a small tutorial on how i flash this rom
first off i have a 430 system partiton and a 4 gig ext 4 partition
i also use Kokotas black clk 1.5.1.9 and CWM Recovery Touch Beta 8 Release Candidate 1
and i use the dataonext install method
first thing i do is do a backup of the rom i have on my phone
then i move the rom zip to my sdcard
i then go into mounts and storage and
format boot
format cache
format data
format system
format sd-ext
be carefull not to format sdcard
i then got into install zip from sd card then choose zip from sdcard
then i pick the rom zip and and go thru the setup on aroma and choose the things i want to install
when it finishes i reboot and let it sit at the lockscreen for 5 minutes
then i go thru the setup and add my gmail account
when its done with the setup stuff i once again let the phone sit for 5 minutes
then i reboot one more time and begin fully setting up the phone the way i like it
i add alot of modded stuff to my phone for testing and regular use
and the way i posted above has never failed me

link to kokotas blk clk
http://www.mediafire.com/?tzg7whl9wwaih22
i have this rom on clk with a 425 partition data on ext with a 4 gig ext and no swap
and its running smooth and fast i had one hot reboot while changing a theme
but havent had one since and its been like 3 weeks now
maybe try without swap
