Hi,
The way I did it was: download the ROM and kernel zips:>Then put them both on the sd card root :>go into cwm:>ad recovery:>wipe data ,dalvik and partitions:>install ROM:>install kernel:> reboot.

You should bear in mind that not all kernels will work with all ROMS.

My sig shows what worked for me

thx was trying Ultimate Droid rom but the default dont support ext4..

 

[malybru]

Your Ultimate Droid [op] shows 3 kernels which have been tested.
Why don't you try one using method I suggested

 

[ebotross]

never

I tried to do so many times and never got it right

 

[harky]

agree here..
try all... none of them let me using ext4

This is also for ebotross. Are you both using the MAGLDR or the cLK version of the ROM? You have to use a kernel that is compatible with MAGLDR if you are using MAGLDR and a kernel that is compatible with cLK if you are using cLK. Cedesmith has a patch posted in the cLK thread to apply to a kernel to make it cLK compatible.

using MAGLDR

 

[T-Macgnolia]

using MAGLDR

That is strange then the kernels posted in the thread for the Ultimate Droid should work as they should be for MAGLDR, unless the Rom chef posted those kernels for the cLK users. Have you posted in the thread about your issue?

posted.. no reply
i tried number of time..
i alway see i got 5mb even less under storage... that mean i not using ext4 as internal

 

[harky]

u see... the rom requet to use CWM v1.3 150MB but i use 400M

if i got 1gb ext.. after install this rom i cannot be left only 2-5mb

 

[T-Macgnolia]

When you first flashed the ROM where you coming from a different ROM? If so did you do a complete restore or a partial restore using advanced restore? If you used just the regular restore then you do not have Ultimate Droid but you have your old ROM as the System restores your ROM and the Boot restores your kernel. Not all kernels are compatible with all ROMs as the ROMs for the HD2 are all custom ROMs. Also in native Android devices kernels are pretty much device specific so you can not use a kernel from one device on another device without modifying it.

Damn I think I know what you did but I can not remember where I read it at. It was something about if you do something with a certain file or something you actually double it which would turn your 400M into 800M and that would leave you only 2mb. I will have to try to find it again.

i format every thing and start from 0

format sd card using SDFormatter V2.0

create ext3 or ext4... tried both

install rom...



i give up so i now reinstall to CWM v1.3 150M but i only have 200M???? but i tot if we use EXT3 or 4 we should had more than that????

Hi,
I think your 200M is internal memory which is found in
settings>sd & storage>internal phone storage.

The space you have on your SD card is different and probably much larger.

You say the ROM requested 150M ,you should follow this accurately.This will give you more internal memory.
The EXT partition is space on your SD card which will still be 1gb.

They are two different things.
