[Coming Soon][NativeSD] Portadroid NSD v6.0 (for NAND Roms)

fflakes · May 25, 2011

I'm using your 0.1v. ram.

If I use the portadroid and insert the updated oxygen rom, can I use the old data.img? Thanks, looks like alot of potential with this kit.

you already tried using this one?
cant wait to hear your review...

ok, just to give one insight:

amazing, i still cant believe we can boot desire and hd2 nand roms directly..

so far:

very easy and fast installation, tried the recomended desire rom that is very light and it seems to have a good battery drain;

the kernel used is tytung_r10 that we already know, but this time bluetooth is working

wifi is working with adhoc connection, phone is working, camera and camcorder working, no FC´s, no slowdowns, so far so good, will make more tests tomorrow, have to sleep..

WOW
This is awesome, seen as I have no micro usb port on my phone anymore I can try Nand builds again, great work mate.

So, I tried this with Darkstone's build, which I love and used for a long time until the build kept giving me many FC's.

2 things: 1 - I couldn't find a META INF file in Darkstone's build. 2 - when I went to edit the startup txt, it already said ported_rom=desire

I can't get this build to boot up. The first time it did a quick reboot to WM. Now it just hangs on the screen with the small writing. Several battery pulls and the same result.

I have followed instructions to a T, as outlined above.

Also reformatted SD card and re-installed stock ROM prior to loading Android.

Any suggestions?

Is there a Darkstone Desire build?

To quote darkstone himself in the first post of the above linked thread:

- 'The base rom is from AdamG's OxygeN Desire rom which has been modified by myself.'

I may be way off - I am not a hip techie like most of you - I am a 52 year old grandma who likes android on her HD2 and has been using android SD builds for quite awhile. I know how to follow instructions pretty well, which has taken me a long way here in the android world of HD2

I just can't figure out what I'm missing to get DS's SuperRAM build loaded with Portadroid.

ebliss · May 25, 2011

I had Darkstone's SuperRAM Froyo before. There isn't a meta-inf and system folders. There is only a system.ext2.

This Portadroid build is for porting Desire ROM and nand ROM. Both have meta-inf and system folders in their zip files.

So it's possible this will not work. Are you using a old data.img?

Edit: Just a thought
Since the contents in meta-inf and system folders are copied into the newly created system.ext2, maybe you can try placing the system.ext2 (that you have from darkstone's build) into the main folder itself (ie. Android) and not in the "root" folder. And also to delete the reboot file as well. The reboot file will cause the system to rebuild once the system.ext2 is created (it is not there originally) and gets deleted after that. If you keep trying to copy the whole thing into the directory everytime it fails, then, well, it gets rebooted always.

and.. how many internal memory did u get?
1gb? 512mb? 256mb?

Anyone know how to fix the SU app, to let apps have root access?

There IS a system folder inside the Root folder of Darkstones unzipped zipfile. And there is a system.ext2. I may download the zip again to see if the meta-inf file is missing for some reason. There is not this file in my darkstone zipfile.

I tried Portadroid first with a blank 1 gb data img that I use in all my SD builds, but after failed boots, I removed it and tried to reboot. This time I got hung on the small text screen.

Hmmm. Maybe I needed to reformat after removing the data img? do I need to include a smaller blank data img? Don't most builds build their own data img if it's not included in the android file?

Well, headed to get some sleep. I'll try again in the morning.

ebliss · May 25, 2011

The "system" folder you are referring to is inside the "root" folder. That is not the complete system. So, it will not work by just using that system folder.

If you download the oxygen 2.1.3 desire rom, you will see that the structure of the files. There are 2 folders, META-INF and system, and a file "boot.img".

In the first boot i edited the startup file to create a data.img of 512 instead of 256..

Ahhh! Thank you for clarifying this for me. Maybe I will give the oxygen rom a go.

Claus72 · May 25, 2011

I have tried BOYPPC GINGER2.3.4 rom with Portadroid and boot with MAGLDR.
It is working quite fine, the only issue are: wifi doesn't work and no root permission.

arifqur · May 25, 2011

Great job man and a fantastic idea.
Tried Tytung's NexusHD 2.7 and boots beautifully through MAGLDR.
Everything seems to be working except for SU Permissions.
Tried downloading BusyBox but did not work.
Also installed Rom Manager and tried to fix Permissions through it but it gives error.
Any suggestions?

ebliss · May 25, 2011

Root permission has been an issue that hasn't been solved.

Actually, from what I see in the script, if you set ram_system=0 or anything other than "1", portadroid should still be able to port the nand version over. Just that it wouldn't load to RAM.

EDIT: I used JW MIUI. It is rooted.

toma62 · May 25, 2011

sorry I do not understand this step

) Edit startup.txt on cmdline (ported_rom ported_rom OR = desire = nand) Depending on what ROM (ie ROM or HTC Desire HD2 NAND ROM) you put into the root folder above. Do not change the rest of the other parameters Than gps_zone if you're booting for the first time with Portadroid. Change the other paarameters only if you are really confident with Portadroid and know what you're doing!

can someone help me
I downloaded the Oxygen 2
thank you very much

Great Potential

This tool has the potential to be tool of the year. It will be interesting to see how this works with the NAND roms which are being developed with sense 3.0 (NAND BPSense 2.0 for example)

Cheers and keep up the good work

vlad48 · May 25, 2011

+1 from me, if this tool will be able to port properly a nand sense rom. (tried several Sense 2.1 and Sense 3.0 nand roms today got only bootlloop after successfull conversion)

ebliss · May 25, 2011

Try out JW MIUI 1.5.20 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1050645

It is running well for me.

Do you prefer Android SD/RAM boot or NAND boot?
