RAFDROID HD 2.0 - NAND VERSION

--- FIRST OF ALL, PLEASE READ POST 2 FOR UPDATED FAQ. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR ISSUES, MOST PROBABLY YOU WILL FIND THE ANSWER THERE WITHOUT NEEDING TO POST A NEW MESSAGE ---

I'm not a dev. I'm just a curious user that want to learn, fail, search, retry, fail again

and then succeed also thanks to people here that helped me with tips and knowledge sharing

This is a personal build made for my self, based on DESIRE HD.
Is 90% stock, % battery indicator and some animations/icons.

It's fully DEODEXED so you can theme it as you want.
I tried also to keep most of the apps, wallpapers and other stuff in it.

But most important it uses DATA.IMG on SDCARD so you dont have to worry about storage limite on LEO512
Please note: this, as happenend whe using Android from SD, could cause data corruption and causes a little lag during app installation. There is nothing I can do to solve those two issues. You are warned!

Credits and thanks:
-Cotulla and DFT for making all this possible
-darkstone for his big help
-mdeejay for initrd.gz (modified by me to support data.img) and kernel
-Kouno.Takaaki for his idea and init file
-Rajko
-crawling
-ocm
-Cass
-cedesmith
-domineus
-imilka for help me solving wifi issue

-all people on #htc-linux
and probably a lot of other people I'm forgetting

- Deodexed and Zipaligned, not sqashfsed
- Latest kernel

- Multilanguage
- Rooted (SU app + permessi SU)
- AdFree
- 5mpx camera with face recognition + 800*400 camcorder

- fonts changed (use original fonts to go back to stock attached in 2nd post)

Removed AmazonMP3

INSTRUCTIONS
- You need at least MAGLDLR 1.10
- Download the Data size package you want
- Unzip it and copy all the content to your SD root respecting the folder structure. Insert the SD in the HD2
IF YOU NOT DO THIS BEFORE, YOUR INSTALLATION WILL FAIL
IF YOU ARE ON A 1024 LEO YOU CAN AVOID THIS.

- Download the RAFDROID HD package
- Unzip it on your computer, enter in MAGDLR bootloader, choose USB flasher, connect your HD2 to your computer and use INSTALL.EXE
- Wait the rebooting. Keep always the SD inside.
- First install takes up to 5 min
- Enjoy

- As all HD build, initially this will be slugghis and lagging, specially if you select to restore your google settings. The build will become fast after some hours and a couple of reboots.

DOWNLOADS

WARNING 1) Data system changed between RafDroid HD1 and RafDroid HD2. Now you need a "config.txt" in the data2sd folder. I suggest to old 1.0 users to download the new packages here to be sure that all works.

WARNING 2) I assure compatibility only with 512 and 1024 data images. Using bigger images, specially more than 2gb, could cause issues (no boot, errors installing apps...)

WARNING 3) I suggest always to start with a fresh data.img. Anyway you can try too keep your old data.img but I cannot assure you that you will have no bugs. Important is to keep the "data2sd" folder with the config.txt inside.

DATA PACKAGE for RAFDROID HD 2.0 512MB -> http://www.multiupload.com/MA47VX8ALS
DATA PACKAGE for RAFDROID HD 2.0 1024MB -> http://www.multiupload.com/6BA2EZ49L0

DATA PACKAGE 1024MB -> http://www.multiupload.com/GWRDNTXALF

RAFDROID HD 1.0 -> http://www.multiupload.com/P2AWG7IRR7

If you need more space, you can replace the data.img with ones bigge but I NOT SUGGEST THIS. We have clues that data.img bigger than 2gb causes issues. So please, if you want to avoid bugs, stay with 1gb maximum that is plenty space for everything.

DONATE:

I dont think it's fair to ask for donations because all this was possible thanks to the people credited above.
Anyhow, because some one pm'ed me asking to donate, and becouse I spent a lot of time in this, if you want to buy me a coffee for all the time I spent, you can do this here DONATE
Anyway I would suggest to donate to Cotulla and DFT team and other devs.

BE ADVISED: THIS BUILD, CAUSE IT'S SIZE, WILL WORK ONLY WITH THIS METHOD OF DATA2SD. IT'S TOO BIG TO WORK WITHOUT IT. EXCEPT FOR 1024 LEO WHER IT *SHOULD*(MUST BE TESTED) WORK WITHOUT DATA.IMG

If you want DesireHD standard fonts, download this package and replace the entire /system/fonts content with the ones included, using droid explorer or adb, after first boot
http://www.multiupload.com/5EXLIPO3N4

If you want the stock look this is the stock framework-res.apk. i will not explain how to mess with it, google if you dont know. anyway be careful. messing with this file could cause loop reboots and you will have to reflash

FAQ - QUESTIONS and BUG FIXES
PLEASE READ

q) I'm having high battery drain
a) Try reboot. Try disabling gps in location. As you can see from the screenshot I have 4mA with WIFI active! Also be careful. If during google account setup you choose to backup/restore all your data, the sync process will be dramatic heavy because it has to reinstall all your apps. It could need a couple of hours to settle. Also high battery drain could be caused by SD. try another one.

q) It's really laggy!!!!
a) as all Desire HD builds this is BIG! This needs at least 10-15 minutes after boot to be usable. Then try to use it for 5-6 hours.. and do a couple of reboots.. you will see that the speed will improve. After 24 hours of use and 4-5 rebots this will be really fast.

q) I have no GPS or the fix is really slow
a) Firs fixt can take up to 5 minutes. just wait. If still not works, try to change the gps zone in the config.txt (read below)

q) I have low quadrant scores
a) yes, this is true. This is because data sync is enabled by default. You can try to disable it but this will give you more risks of data corruption.

q) Can I unmount the SD while in use or connect the phone as mass storage to my pc while in use
a) No. This will cause data corruption. Power down the pone and use an SD card reader to copy your files.

q) I have no SU permission!!!
a) Install z4root (google for it) and execute permaroot. Reboot.

q) It not boots
a) be sure that the ".config" file is in your SD on the root. and there is also the folder "data2sd" with "data.img" inside. If still no boot, try to reformat your SD card, copy the img again, and retry.

q) I have no data/3G/HSDPA
a) probably you have to set your apn manually. google it for tips on how to do and what settings are need for your carrier

q) How do I remove BOOTSOUND / How do I change bootanim
a) bootsound and bootanim are located in /system/etc/customer. Just delete android_audio.mp3 if you dont want sound

ABOUT THE CONFIG.TXT FILE

You can change some parameters directly in the config.txt before booting:

Code:

data_sd=0
 - 0, default, use nand userdata, THIS WILL CAUSE NO BOOT for 512 LEO
 - 1, enable external data.img support (/sdcard/data2sd/data.img)
data_size=512
 - size of data.img, only work when data.img support enabled and first install if you dont have a data.img.. it will create for you. No need to specify it if you already have a data.img in the data2sd folder
data_sync=1
 - 0, fast, default, disable sync option when mount data.img MAY CAUSE DATA CORRUPTION. I SUGGEST TO NOT USE THIS
 - 1, safe, enable sync option when mount data.img, use this if experiencing data corruption
lcd_density=240
 - size of icons
gps_zone=europe
 - country string for better gps fix. you can find your country code here [URL="http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@"]http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@[/URL]

why you're not using latest Ace RUU (RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3)?

isnt it better to have PPP rather than RMNET because RMNET is slower.

having said that, has there been a fix for PPP because im lossing network bar frequently.

BTW thanks for the build, will be testing it out soon

Good work Raf, been waiting for this. I've downloaded the data package and was wondering if it will be possible to use my old data.img file from another SD HD build and possibly use a 2GB data.img file too?

Dont know.. maybe there will be bugs, but try it.. if this not work or you have bugs, delete all things from SD, reflash NAND, and start again

about 2gb data, yes, you can. just replace the file. I will upload 2GB and 4GB for convenience, later as soon I have time

seavers11 · Jan 3, 2011

This build will be awesome when it runs correctly... Is it right, it uses for data the data.img on the sd card, when you release a new uodate we can safe our data and can make a update without loosing my apps ? This will be great news ?!

JosephAGT · Jan 3, 2011

so will all my texts get saved to the sd card?
as on other NAND builds my phone can barely operate after a couple days use due to insufficient storage.

also, what determines whether I should get the 512MB or 1024MB data package?

Not true,atleast not for me. (the build i use in my sig)
Sinds NAND rmnet is as fast for me as ppp,same up and download speed.
In the time with sd card builds ppp was faster for me,now not (for me)
Just test it with speedtest.net app in the market for free
