ISO MY STORAGE INSTALLATION (No Ubuntu) By Quato7906, MoDaCo
For all who are tired of using Ubuntu,to make My Storage installation,do this:
1.First download this and unrar it to the root of My Storage as is.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LMDVA130
2.make sure you have at least 1,2 GB free space on My Storage and copy the file fs.iso from here to the \iso folder.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5LAOKBYI
3.start haret.exe from the root of My Storage & enjoy the new Froyo.
* The 3d drivers are inside,also calllight and task manager.iso file is 1,1 GB now.
* For more apk installation space ,also trick: when you istall some apk's ,just copy the fs.iso file to your hard drive to have a backup if anything goes wrong,just copy the file back to iso folder .
* There is a new update, which fixes the Market problem, download here. Unrar,rename to fs.iso ,copy to \My Storage\iso and run haret.

FROYO BETA 1 MANUAL INSTALLATION (UBUNTU REQUIRED) By l3ong91
1. Clean all the partition on My Storage, left only with one PRIMARY, FAT 32 partition using Mini Tool Partition Wizard.
2. Format Storage Card using SD Formatter.
3. Copy the beta files and o2b3update.tar.gz(official) to My Storage.
3. Bootup Ubuntu, and copy o2b3update.tar.gz and ext4.tar.gz to desktop.
4. Download gParted and run it, go to Places -> unmount My Storage.
5. Start gParted, top right corner switch to My Storage (May have different label).
6. Create a new EXT 4 Partition, label as 'android', set as Primary Partition. (around 1 - 2GB will be good)
7. Then you will see 2 external drive on Ubuntu desktop.
8. Go to Places -> Mount both of them.
9. Then start Terminal from Applications and do all the commands below step by step.
Type in cd/ Desktop
Insert your password, then click Enter.
It will appears as (username) - desktop: ~/Desktop
Then, type in ''sudo tar zxvf ext4.tar.gz -C /media/android''
A list of files will be shown and copy over to the android partition.
Wait for the process to complete and type in below after return to ''(username) - desktop: ~/Desktop
''sudo tar zxvf o2b3update.tar.gz -C /media/android"
Last step, change the startup.txt found on another My Storage partition, rename the following line:
" Set CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root= /dev/mmcblk0p6 init=/init" to the partition number that you created, eg. mmcblk0p2.*
You should be able to bootup Android after that.
*Some device may get different number, you can look for the Android partition number through booting up the device without changing anything in startup.txt, then at this screen, check the one which has the actual partition from what you created, below is an example from jerrytech2468.blogspot.com:

LATEST NEWS & UPDATES
2011-04-18
Froyo beta1. It's SD card installer (1024mb only). It includes latest kernel, modules, default filesystem is ext4, new keymapping. Download it here (it will wipe Your current installation and/or whole SD card content). As always it doesn't contain 2D/3D libraries from Samsung (You have to find them and put it before first boot to My Storage as o2b3update.tar.gz).
Froyo beta1 working things are:
Phone
WiFi
GPS
Data connections (GPRS)
Sensors (not everything is working: accelerometer can work, but compass not)
2D/3D (Samsung not allowed to us to distribute the 2D/3D library binaries, so they are not included in the image).
MP4/3GP movie play (camera hardware button doesn't work yet)
Camera in photo (up to 5MP) and movie recording mode (it's still not 480p, but works)
Note: There is still error, when within telephone conversation in approx.30 seconds the LCD blanks but also the sound muted - UNTIL NOT SOLVE, please use the Call Light or KeepScreen application from Market!!!
Note2: If You have problems with registering via Google use following workaround: open Youtube app and login there with google account.
Note3: Changed button mapping: Cube -> Menu, Lock -> Back, Back key -> Home, Hang-up -> Sleep/Hang-up/Wake, Camera -> not used.
Note4: Updates have now prefix o2b3update.{tar.gz|sh}.
Thanks, I will test today
woohoo. finally!! hopefully battery life has been improved dramatically. cant wait!!...download speed is a bit slow though.

The Froyo is awesome and I think the battery consumption has reduced and better now.
Is adobe flash works?
Any screenshot guys?
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
Works like a charm.
Just re-partitioning of my SD-Card was a bit tricky: The old Eclair-Beta-Partition was slightly smaller than the new one for Froyo. So the installation (haret within the o2beta-directory) always claimed that the SD-Card is too small (in fact mine is 2 GB). So I had to delete the old partitions and re-format it within the configuration-menu of WinMo.
If s.o. does not have a card-reader/adaptor for the microSD - just use this software linked in this post.
hey can someone upload the 3D drivers to mediafire. im having problem download it from filesonic
Looking forward to testing out FROYO. Taking a while to download as I guess a lot of people have been eagerley awaiting it!
Could someone please upload a screen shot?

I'm trying to download apps from Market to for screen capturing software...be patient.
Instead of asking ppl to post the screenshot, why not you just try it out on your phone?
I want to but I can't download. Download link not responding.
Thanks a lot l3ong91 for your efforts, Any other hints to run android smoother and better would be appreciated. I'm completely newbie about running android in the best way to have the best results.
Again Thanks a lot, you are really great man.

If you want to try out stable Android that can be used on daily basis, for
**Android Eclair (2.1) on Omnia 2, see my previous thread, follow and download the links under UNOFFICIAL RELEASE.
**Android Froyo (2.2) on Omnia 2, follow my guides on this thread, the overall impression is smoother and better than the previous release.
If you follow every step by step, you should be able to run Android on your Omnia 2.
Thank you!
Followed your instructions and..... Froyo lives!
Be sure to stress enough that new 2D/3D drivers are needed in order for Froyo to work properly. Only thing, Froyo keep saying that the SD card is damaged, when, of course, is working properly. Someone else with the same issue?

I don't have SD damaged problem, I can access SD card in Android, but when switch back to Win Mo, the SD card directory was missing.
Guys, please try to check if you guys have this problem with the Froyo beta.

For those who have problems with FileSonic, this is the 2D/3D files which i upload personally in .7z format.
You'll have to extract it out from .7z format first before you put into My Storage.
I've done what you said step by step but when android booted completely, in the welcome screen every time i clicked on android there is no response and suddenly the screen went black, I've tried to turn it on with keys but no response. What Should I DO?
Thanks
It works! Great work!
i have same problem as tiberiusmusicus. SD card is 'damaged'. however i can access it in winmo. it might be because the directory for the sd card is /mnt/sdcard and not /sdcard. im not sure....any solution? cant take photos because camera is not reading sdcard.
thank you so much to dev and TS for this froyo. i want to post ss on benchmark but cannot bcause still new in this forum and dont have enough post

Hi All,
[ADD 22-jan-2010]
I'm testing now the NAND flashfiles from Diagdave. For newbies: Your kaiser will boot directly to Android.. WinMO is past, history... not anymore on the phone
Very FAST when boot
Have try flash with Droid ION Donut 1.6, Hero Blend V242 and new WarmDonut and all are working.
WORKING: Data, Call , Camera and hard keybord
NOT WORKING: WiFi, GPS, Voice Call, Bluetooth (known issues)
If you want try it yourself. The Kaiser-NAND-Installation.rar contain ony the 3 empty files, emty data.img and rootfs.img - HERE
be aware.. HAVE A WORKING WINMO Flash if you want go back to WinMO
There you have the 6 different flavor of the FLASH file itslef. (Thanks to DiagDave)
320 - Panel 1 - HERE
320 - Panel 2 - HERE
320 - Panel 3 - HERE
428 - Panel 1 - HERE
428 - Panel 2 - HERE
428 - Panel 3 - HERE
480 - Panel 1 - HERE
480 - Panel 2 - HERE
480 - Panel 3 - HERE
INSTALLATION:
Put all the files from the RAR on a empty SD Card
Put the FLASH file on the SD card. Rename it to KAISimg.nbh
Select you Android Build and rename it to system.sqsh and put this on the SD card
Startup in bootloader and flash your phone
Pull out the battery and restart your phone.
When everything is done restart your phone again so the APN will start as well
[INSTALLATION WHEN YOU WANT SWITCH BETWEEN WINMO AND ANDROID]
The reason i start this tread because i think smart guys can programming this ION version so BlueTooth will work also.
I have install a build from the Vogue tread and is SO fast.. The best version i have used at this moment only Bluetooth is not working.
My current WinMo config: (now removed and replaced by NAND andoid flash) but with this config everything was working fine for me in past:
Startup screen:
R: 1.71.09.01 download HERE
G: 25.75.40.03
D: 3.34.00.00 emo
WinMO Rom: Solace 3.1 download HERE
The files u need for this great working Android version (all versions i post here):
Latest Basefiles 16-11-2009 download HERE - Extract to your SD Card
Latest Rootfs download HERE - replace this one over the other of the basefile and your GPS IS WORKING!!!
You can choose between several builds. All are working ok but some of you want different flavors
Droid ION Donut 1.6 / system.sqsh download HERE rename to system.sqsh
Hero Blend V242 / system.sqsh download HERE rename to system.sqsh
Here i have post my own default.txt/startup.txt that i use for both builds:
#alloctest 0x2000
set RAMSIZE 0x07000000
set RAMADDR 0x10000000
set FBDURINGBOOT 0
set MTYPE 1553
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
#
set cmdline "board-htckaiser.panel_type=2 ppp.apn=internet ppp.username= ppp.password= pm.sleep_mode=0 mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160 no_console_suspend board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=0"
boot
Remarks
Use for Hero Blend: mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160
All system.sqsh are using the latest basefile and rootfs given above. When you switch between builds delete or rename data.img OR wipe data if you using fat32/ext2/ext2 SD card
When problem with rotation orientation you can try using zIMAGE-23-10-2009 - download HERE
Kaiser Battery problems you can try solution write on this page
[ADD 31-dec-2009]
All files are on my site - AndroidClone.nl
[ADD 23-jan-2010]

Hi, how can i configAndroid for work on my Kaiser wit Vodafone IT?
Is the first time that i will try Android with HaRET.
Could you help me?
Thansk.
Tommaso
Hi
Put everything in the ROOT of your Fat32 formatted SD card.
replace default.txt with default-kaiser.txt
start haret.exe within Windows. First time take some time before you see something so please wait...
After configuration is done you can go back to WinMO doing reset your Kaiser
Excuse me, if i post a stupid question...
Where can i find the last default-kaiser.txt?
Thank you very much!
download the files i given. Everything is in there
Ok... This evening, when i return home from work, i will download all, next i will put all on my SD card (i will replace the content of defuaul.txt with the content of default-kaiser.txt) and i will tap HaRET...
[edit]
Excuse me, the content of folders "conf" and "media" where have i to put?
have i to copy the folders to my SD or have i to compy only some files?
have i to modify some files?
[/edit]
I'm looking for finish this working day for try Android!!
Thanks.
Tommaso.
Everything in root. So conf and media need also in the root as folders with their files. SD Card must look like:
CONF
MEDIA
default.txt
haret.exe
initrd.gz
rootfs.img
zImage
system.sqsh
BUT..... The reason of this tread was if a programmer or smart guy can try this and can let work GPS and maybe Bluetooth would be great.
This version of ION Donut is so smooth and fast
does the vogue have working gps with this build? sorry if this is something know, can't search gps, i guess it's too short of a string for the search engine
Hi, i'veput on the SD card the file you tell me...
I have tappedon haret.exe and Andoid start booting.
I saw linux boot string running on the screen, after that, when it was pased 2 minutes my screen goes black. I've attended 5 minutes, after that i did a soft reset.
[edit 1] I tried to attend 10 minutes but nothing change. [/edit]
[edit 2] I tried also use default.txt instead of default-kaiser.txt but haret freez booting, when the loading bar arrive at the end. [/edit]
Have i to sttend lot of time?
Or is my kaiser that don't work very well?

Steps in getting android to boot with the latest files.
1. Format your SD card in FAT32 and 2 ext2 partitions(one for the system and other for data) 256mb each. I found a gparted liveCD is the easiest way.
2. Try getting the latest basefiles from here...http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/
3.Copy files to your fat32 partition, and you want to use a kaiser-default.txt, but change the resolution to what you like(or required) and rename to default.txt and use that. Also make sure you have the right .conf file in the /conf folder on your sd card.
4. Latest kernel makes the screen rotate upside down with the latest ext2 boot method for the kaiser so use the 10/23 zimage.
any way to increase the set amount of internal memory?
Tomorrow i will try... Thank you very much for your help!!!

I never have format my SD Card is several partitions... And everything is working. (exept GPS and Bluetooth for the given ION donut build)
Also never understoot will de system automatic detect the 2 ext2 partitions and will it use them automatic? Will also the system work faster?
Calibrate touchscreen:
"You can also calibrate the touchscreen by holding the camera button down (so that the keyboard is showing) while tapping the top right and then the bottom left of the screen. Do this while running the pointer location app in dev tools to check that it works. The keyboard now is the same as on the emulator."
Try this

Open the default-kaiser.txt and edit the "htckaiser.panel_type=[Number]" with the number 1, 2 or 3 (try all of them, until it works).

That's set in default. It's already the most you can (should ever) set it to. Remember the kernel and drivers take up memory as well
Android Failure
Hello Everyone,
I'm a newbie at this but I have read all the troubleshooting guidelines. Anyways, I have a Tilt (Kaiser), having issues loading the New Android. I'm the basefiles-20091116, have copied it to my microsd. I have edit Conf / to just have donut.user.
Now, when I run Haret.exe. I use the default-kaiser.txt to load Android, but after a few seconds I get a "Failed to find system.img on Sd card
/bin/shi can't access ttyi job control turned off " message.
Are there any suggestions to fix this issue?
Do you have a system.img/system.sqsh in the root directory of your sd card?
Android failure
To Whitehooptie, no I don't believe I have the system.img/system.sqsh your talking about. I've been looking for that in the basefiles. Can I find the system.img in the basefiles I've recently downloaded?

Read the first post and you can see what you needed....
THIS IS NOW OUTDATED!!
It uses the old sqsh method WITH a rootfs. So if you're wanting to use the NoMoRootfs method, this won't work. Please use the already complete builds in the Kaiser/Vogue threads as they are working the best at this moment.
I hope to update this when I have some free time. Will include a how to for NAND also.
What's What:
zImage
Linux kernel which initializes hardware
initrd.gz
Initial ramdisk. Usually, startup scripts, device drivers (modules) and related files (e.g. Bluetooth firmware), as well as some basic system tools (shell etc.). This has grown and split into the rootfs.img.
rootfs.img
Contains the ril (how our phones communicate with the network) and other necessary files to get the system going.
haret.exe
Bootloader to reboot the device into Android
default.txt/startup.txt
Contains settings for the boot process, and special kernel configuration parameters
system.img/system.sqsh
Contains the Android core, default applications and some more system files and tools.
*.user.conf
Contained in conf folder. Sets compcache/swap parameters.
How it works
When you run Haret, it wipes Windows from memory so it's not running anymore, (although it keeps it on the actual phone storage) then it "reboots" the phone into android. So think of it like this... Windows is on the phone storage and Android is on the SD card. Haret shuts down Windows (keeping it on the phone storage) and then boots up the phone using the SD card in place of the phone storage. When you turn the phone off/reset it will boot back into Windows.
Haret looks at the default.txt/startup.txt for it's bootup parameters, it then loads the zImage which initializes all of the hardware (screen, keyboard, etc.) and initrd which contains the initial startup scripts. The rootfs is then called which creates the data.img and moves the system and data to partitions (if available). It looks in the system.sqsh for a file called ion.build, donut.build, tattoo.build, etc. which tells it what kind of system it is. This also tells it to run the ion.user.conf, donut.user.conf, tattoo.user.conf.
Setup:
Download this package.
If you can't run this then you'll have problems with other builds. If you can run this, things are on the right track.
Format your SD card to Fat32, if not already. Make sure there's NOTHING on your SD card.
Extract the android folder to your SD card.
Rename the default-*.txt file to either default.txt or startup.txt.
-default.txt will make it so you have to tap "Run" when you start haret.
-startup.txt will cause haret.exe to automatically run instead of having to tap Run.
Now when you run haret.exe you should see some scrolling text.
Don't touch anything and let it run.
You should soon be presented with a startup animation and then be ready to setup your new Android phone.
Advanced:
Partitioning SD
Installing Ubuntu (Live CD)
DOWNLOAD UBUNTU
You should now have an .iso image.
DOWNLOAD IMGBURN
Install ImgBurn
Select "Write image file to disc"
Click on the magifying glass/folder next to where it says "Please select a file..." and select the .iso file you just downloaded.
Uncheck Verify (underneath "destination")
Click on the picture on the bottom left to burn.
Once it's burned restart your computer with the disc in the drive.
You should then see the following image:
*If you boot into Windows you'll have to consult your motherboard manual on how to boot from a CD*

Installing Ubuntu (USB)(thanks sd73ta)
I haven't tested this but you can make a bootable USB drive with Ubuntu using UNetbootin
1 - download unetbootin
2 - insert a blank usb drive
3 - select ubuntu (the highest numerical) live version and run
4 - when its done reboot your pc
when it first boots look for instructions on how to enter setup usually F2 or Delete
5 - change your startup options so usb is before hdd
6 - save changes
Now it should boot to ubuntu
Partition your SD Card
Follow my vid:
Extract the android folder to the Fat32 Partition
Install Android to Partitions
Run Haret
Pay close attention to the scrolling text.
When you see "Press Voldn to run Android Installer" press the left softkey(the key just right of the green phone button)
It should now be placing the system.sqsh onto the first ext2 partition and creating a new data.img on the second.
To see if this actually worked, when you restart your phone into Windows you should see a folder called "backupsystem" with an installedsystem.sqsh file inside.
Swap/Compcache
*WARNING: Using a swap file/partition can decrease the life of your SD Card*
To use swap/compcache you'll need to edit your *.user.conf file which can be opened using any text editor. It should be easy to follow what everything in the file does, but if you can't figure it out SEARCH FIRST and then ask.
To utilize the swap partition you'll have to change
cc_backingswap_en=0 from 0 to 1
OR
linux_swap_en=0 from 0 to 1
Very Advanced (NAND)
NAND refers to the actual phone storage (where Windows resides). This wipes Windows from your phone and writes Android to the internal storage. It's not completely developed yet, but it's getting really far really fast.
There is already a thread HERE that discusses everything you need to know about running Android from NAND.
Upgrading to different builds
Simple Install(no partitions)
Most new builds will just be a system.sqsh file. If thats the case then you'll need to replace the system.sqsh file with the new one. It's also best to delete the data.img file.
If the new build contains a zImagexx-xx-xx or rootfsxx-xx-xx.img, then you'll need to replace those too. When you replace them, make sure to rename them to zImage and rootfs.img, unless theres a new default.txt where you don't have to rename them. Make sure you READ EVERYTHING the thread says about the build so you don't ask questions that have already been asked.
Advanced Install(partitions)
Almost the same as the Simple install but instead you'll just need to place the new system.sqsh file in the android folder and then pay attention to the scrolling text. You'll want to run the installer (Voldn) and when it asks to upgrade press Voldn. You can backup your data, and I would suggest wiping the data also to prevent any bugs.
Problems & Fixes
If your screen looks like it has random dots and things dont look quite right, open the "default.txt" and change board-htckaiser.panel_type=0 to 1, 2, or 3. This depends on your device and you should try each one to get the best result.
If you close the keyboard and the screen is now stuck in landscape, go to Settings > Sound & Display and uncheck Orientation.
If you just upgraded to a new build and are getting popups about things not responding (force closes) then you probably didn't get rid of the data.img file or wipe the data partition. If you have a blank data file/partition and are still getting errors, then look through the builds thread to see if others are having the same problems and if theres a solution.
If you can't get a data connection to work, go into Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks > Access Poin Names and if there is something present, select it and make sure all the settings are correct for your carrier according to THIS LIST. If there is nothing there, press the menu key (start button) and select New APN and enter the settings manually.
*More when I can think of them.*

So far so good, I am looking at the ANDROID animation right now, so quick question since I am running this from an exe from the windows mobile os, is windows mobile still running in the background while I am using the ANDROID part, or does it completely shut down windows and load up the linux os, just wondering.. thanks.

Everything works great still can't get the 3G part working but I read somewhere that is because the tilt uses a different MHz than t-mobiles 3G, dunno if I can get it to work or not.. any ideas?

Great (and much needed) thread, loserskater - THANKS.
I have simple question: just how is the correct *.user.conf file selected? Is there a selection mechanism in system.img, or is there some other mechanism?
Thanks again for the partitioning walkthrough. And Ubuntu 9.10 is pretty darn nice, too!

When you run Haret, it wipes Windows from memory so it's not running anymore, (although it keeps it on the actual phone storage) then it "reboots" the phone into android. So think of it like this... Windows is on the phone storage and Android is on the SD card. Haret shuts down Windows (keeping it on the phone storage) and then boots up the phone using the SD card in place of the phone storage. When you turn the phone off/reset it will boot back into Windows. (added to first post)

Look in Kaiser Rom development or the Vogue General forum for builds. Follow my upgrading procedure and you should be OK. If you're having problems with that build look through the thread and see if others are using different zImages, rootfs.img's, etc.

Look in the first post under How it works. (just added)
Yes Ubuntu is a very user friendly and popular version of linux. It was my primary OS for awhile and didn't have any problems with it. The best part is if you mess something up, you can just reinstall the OS and start over.
I use unetbootin instead of a live cd. this creates a live usb drive.
1 - download unetbootin
2 - insert a blank usb drive
3 - select ubuntu (the highest numerical) live version and run
4 - when its done reboot your pc
when it first boots look for instructions on how to enter setup usually F2 or Delete
5 - change your startup options so usb is before hdd
6 - save changes
Now it should boot to ubuntu
hope this helps. I havent done this in a while so if I missed something let me know and I'll fix it
Thanks for your help, very much appreciated!
Your the man!!!!!!!!
Thank you sir for this great tutorial!!!! it was the diff between me using android and me wanting to never try it again.
Thanks for great instructions!
I don't know what I did wrong, but the "Voldn" installer did not copy my system.img to the first partition. Only after I manually copied the content I was able to boot.
Question: how big the first partition should be? The system.img is only 74Mb, but all the related to the subject demos suggest to create a 256Mb ext2. Is not it a waste of space on a 2Gb sdcard?

You can use two 128 MB partitions to save space. You just don't want to get too small or you'll start having issues
I tried to install Android on my htc touch and it comes up with "Launch a script file. Default path is the same where the executable lives." What do I need to move and where to get it to work? Thanks
Thanks for the answer.
I made 128Mb and 269Mb. After I reboot my Tilt I found the Home and the Green Call button do not work anymore! And some other system settings were changed as well.
I had to run the instaler for three times before I finally got the system working.
This is great!
Could someone alternately host the Starting_Point file please? I have tried to download it multiple times and it doesn't complete ever.

Integrated Cell tower location and pin verification
Added dark themed build
Removed the following expired apps;
Astro

(all these apps are available in Market)
For Nand users, NBH is set for panel2, 320x428 @ 143 density, use rogue tools to change density, if you prefer another resolution or if you need a different panel type you will have to edit the nbh using Loserskaters NBH Editor, and reflash it.
For advanced users: You can edit the NBH to reduce the system partition using the NBH editor, I suggest 82Mb minimum for /system, this will give more space on /data.

Having been asked about Donations, I would like to request that anyone wishing to should donate to Polyrhythmic, it is his build, I am only maintaining it.
(Note: the numbers in brackets following the download links are an infrequently updated download count)
Installation instructions.
Nand:
You must have HardSPL installed, recommended minimum version 3.29.
Recommended Radio version 1.65 or above.
MicroSD card must be formatted Fat32.
Download whichever themed version you prefer.
Unzip the downloaded file to a suitable temporary folder, then copy everything to SD card root.
You will now have an SD card with one file on root,(KAISimg.nbh), and one folder,(andboot), place this SD in your device and flash the NBH using bootloader method, ( if you are unsure of how to do this please read through Dukenukemx's excellent guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=680518).
Once you have flashed the device you must remove the battery, then replace it and power on, once you have the scrolling text press and hold the centre of the lcd screen until you get the install menu, ( you can also use dpad centre button, or volume up button ).
Once in the installer menu check that sys on nand, data on nand are starred, then choose option 1: install (yes, you know you will wipe your present system, yes, you want to clear data).
Once the installer finishes choose quit, and wait until the initial boot completes, ( this will take a little time, but once you see the boot animation everything is going well).
This next stage is important, please read carefully, or your system will likely be unstable.
Once you reach the welcome screen, press the android, skip the intro, skip the sign in, press next to both the following screens, and once this is complete, wait, for at least 15 minutes, with this build ,(as with most deodexed builds), it is important not to dive in and mess with things, the system needs time to copy the odex files to cache, if you interrupt this you could get a load of fc's, and most likely have to reinstall.
Once you have completed the waiting stage, you are usually best to power down, and reboot, your system should now be ready to begin using.
Initial setup:
This is common to both haret and nand installs, and is my usual procedure with most android roms, it should help with both battery life and speed.
In settings;
In Sound and Display, uncheck Orientation.
Set animations to Some. (you may wish to leave this at All).
Add google account.
In Spare Parts;
Set Window and Transition animations to Fast.
Check Home app in memory.
Advanced options: These may yield additional performance.
Use either Compcache or Swap, using both may actually slow the system down, you will require an SD card that has been partitioned with a 64Mb swap partition for swap.
Installation Instructions.
Haret/SD:
You must be using at least Windows Mobile 6.1
Recommended radio version is 1.65 or above
MicroSD card must be formatted Fat32 and be at least 2GB
Download whichever themed version you prefer.
Unzip to a temporary folder, then copy the files to SD.
You may delete KAISimg.nbh from SD, it is not required for Haret installs.
Fisrtly you must rename one of the default-device.txt files to default.txt, or alternatively edit the default-device.txt file and save as default.txt.
What you may need to edit/add;
board-htckaiser.panel_type=x, panel type may be 1,2,or 3, it should be apparent on boot is you are using the wrong panel type, the screen may be wrongly coloured, or have odd pixels, streaks etc, reset the device, change this option and run haret.exe again.
mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 sets the screen resolution, default is 240 320, other common values are 320 428 and 320 480. (see lcd density).
lcd.density this also affects how the display looks, larger values make the everything on screen look smaller, default for 240x320 is 160, 320x428 is 144, 320x480 is 120,
board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=x sets the keyboard map, 0 is querty US, 1 is at&t Tilt, 2 is Nordic, 3 is azerty, 4 is qwertz.
Once you have edited and saved the default.txt file it is time to install it to SD.
run Haret.exe, once you see the scrolling text, press and hold the lcd screen centre, ( you can also use dpad centre, or volume up keys), until you get into the Installer menu.
Once in installer menu choose option 1: install, and yes, this will wipe any system on SD card that you may have previously installed, it will not wipe WM.
Choose yes to wipe previous system, and data, wait until the installer has finished and returned to the main menu.
Choose quit, and android will continue to boot.
This next stage is important, please read carefully, or your system will likely be unstable.
Once you reach the welcome screen, press the android, skip the intro, skip the sign in, press next to both the following screens, and once this is complete, wait, for at least 15 minutes, with this build ,(as with most deodexed builds), it is important not to dive in and mess with things, the system needs time to copy the odex files to cache, if you interrupt this you could get a load of fc's, and most likely have to reinstall.

Advanced options: These may yield additional performance.
Use either Compcache or Swap, using both may actually slow the system down, you will require an SD card that has been partitioned with a 64Mb swap partition for swap.
Data ( 3G etc), under Haret: Notice that you may have to start a data connection in Windows Mobile before running Haret.exe, failing to start data May prevent 2/3G data from working correctly under Android.
Sounds like you've got some good things to add to Polymod that it's needed for a long time. Best wishes and have fun with the build!
Always had fun with your build poly, no matter what I tried, I always ended up re-installing it
I know you stated it in the other thread but what are all the changes you did to delta?
and is your download themed like the screenshots (those are gamma I think)...I loved the dark theme.
The first post is pretty much a placeholder at the moment, It will be evolving to reflect the status of 2.1D soon, I am working on the screenshots and changes at the moment and will update the first post as soon as possible.
Delta is now available in both light and dark themes, screenshots will follow soon
Absolutely top notch instruction and ROM.
Far more stable than my previous attempts with other ROM's. Ill be watching this closely.
Thanks a lot zenity.
Thanks, it has always been my favourite build, and just needed some updating to bring it back to life
I only received my Kaiser ( well, TytnII here) on monday. Ive gone through about half this subforum already Every other build I've tried managed to go fine until I put my sim in... then it went south from there....
Will see how it goes with this build once Ive tweaked as per your guide....
Notice your using radio 1.70, not sure about SA, but it is possible that you may get on better with 1.65 series, ( European users certainly do better on this radio), really depends what the actual issue is with the sim card?
Hmmm, maybe you're onto something. I'll give the 1.65 you are running a try...
Well if it's a lot of 'no service' problems, then that may sort it, did for me
Hi zenity!
What is wrong with installing Haret?
Once you select quit, and android continue to boot, system hangs and nothing happens!
Any ideas?
Hmm, I'll look into that, but remember running from haret is slower, and the initial boot does take quite some time, it will appear to hang even on nand for a few minutes before continuing to load, if it does not reach the bootanimation within 5 minutes, then something may be wrong with the haret files, I'll flash WM and check that.
ok
Just for your information - once pressed quit, I wait more than 10 minutes!
Just reflashed to WM, installed, it does take a lot longer than nand, quit, it does appear to hang, but finally went to bootanimation, and is running now, time is under 30 minutes, and that includes the WM reflash, so there are a few things to check.
WM version, must be 6.1 minimum, anything lower and you will get problems, guaranteed.
Try another SD card, remember for haret you need 2Gb minimum, it must be freshly formatted as Fat32, you really will need a lot of free space on the SD, (it is possible on a 1GB, but it will be really tight, and things may fail if there are bad blocks).
Remember if you are copying files to SD through activesync you must remove the usb cable safely, same goes for SD card adaptor, always use safe removal, as not doing this can leave data unwritten, ( safe removal writes any cached data before telling you it is safe to remove).
It is possible that the download is corrupt, you may want to redownload just to be certain, but try reinstalling everything from scratch first.
I have been having problems with anything downloaded from rapidshare lately. all the androidinstall.tgz are unable to open. giving this error...
Code:
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
I though this was just my setup but if others are having install problems this may be
a file curruption issue. try re-downloading and see if you can open the androidinstall.tgz
this has been an issue with other builds as well as of lately.
please, make some screens

It wasn't no service, it was just plain locking up only while using the data connection. Wifi works 100% with no lockup. Will try it with the current radio then the new radio and give you soem feedback here.
Hi all,
This is not squashed ROM for EU HD2 which contains all files from the stock RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed. Yes of course some executables(akmd, reboot, vold), some libraries, some config files and kernel were replaced for Leo. The reason of why I do this is my wish to have Desire HD ROM on my EU HD2 which is closest to stock.
The ROM size is about 407M. I do not like squashed ROMs. We all have sdcards and I do not see any sense to make squashed ROM. Therefore this build uses the second partition of sdcard to store dalvik cache, data, system apps, framework. So size of this rom in NAND is 391Mb, and in sdcard is 16Mb. I recommend you to use 1024MB second partition, but not less.
My CWM installation script mounts the second partition of sdcard to /data, creates sysfiles directory and copies /system/etc/clockwidget, and /system/etc/slideshow and /system/etc/soundimage to this second partition into /data/sysfiles directory. After that the script creates symbolic links to these three directories in /system/etc direcory, and copies all other files of ROM to system partition in NAND. So we have 391Mb of files in NAND, and 16Mb of files in the second partition of sdcard.
The kernel mounts the second partition of sdcard to /data before the init.rc script will be run. Therefore android use this partition as internal storage, and we see free space of this partition as free phone storage in info.
The content:
- Full stock Desire HD RUU 1.72.405.3
- Last Gauner's kernel.
- Fixed mms.
- Fixed WiFi MAC.
- Fixed su.
- Fixed sql lib.
- Fixed first and external partition mounting.
- Percent battery.
- Rmnet is ON by default, if you would like to enable ppp you should create ppp file in /system directory and reboot your phone. To create the ppp file you should connect your phone to PC and run this command in a terminal:
adb shell touch /system/ppp
You should delete this file and reboot your phone if you would like to enable rmnet again:
adb shell rm -f /system/ppp
Not worked:
- 720p recording
- bluetooth MAC
Removed apps:
- Ereader. Use the attached archive if you would like to use ereader. Install it by CWM.
Link to ereader
"How to install" is in the readme file of the build. Please, read it! This ROM is only flashable using ClockworkMod. CWM v 1.2 is included into archive of this build. Note, system partition in NAND should be 399Mb.
CWM v 1.2 fix:
If you would like to use CWM backup and restore you should replace CWM initrd.gz file on this file. I fixed CWM to soppurting partition layout without userdata partition..
Update the previous version ROM:
If you would like to update the previous version you should not touch your sdcard. You should do this only: format NAND by task29, install magldr, flash new CWM partition layout, install new ROM.
Recommendations:
- I recommend to format NAND by task29 before install this ROM. After formatting will be done you should install magldr again. All tools are included into the archive.
- I recommend to calibrate G-Sensor. To do it go to Seetings->Display->G_Sensor calibration->, place your phone FACE-DOWN on level surface, press Calibrate button. After calibration will be finished press Ok button.
- If you would like to use the "backup second partition" feature in CWM, the second partition should be labeled as sd-ext.
- Sometimes magldr does copying of data with errors(lost data) in the "USB MassStg" mode, but you do not see these errors. Next you can see that the ROM installation was finished shortly. If it happens you should look into CWM log and you will see some errors of files extraction from archive. If you will copy this archive to sdcard again, but only by CWM or by other cardreader, you will not see these errors in CWM log. Therefore I recommend you to copy ROM zip to sdcard by CWM or by other cardreader.
- To get a CWM log you should do this:
a) Install the ROM
b) After the installation will be completed you should not reboot your phone! Go to "advanced" item of CWM menu.
c) Next select "Report Error" item. CWM will create the clockworkmod directory in root of sdcard.
d) Next copy the recovery.log file from the clockworkmod directory and attach this file to the thread. I will check it.
- The first loading(from the phone rebooting moment to appearance of the language choice screen) is long. Be patient, please.
- Please, setup only that you really need during the first boot. Desire ROM is syncing and configuring a lot of stuff during first boot if you have entered your google account. I recommend to setup all needed accounts after initial setup. And, please, let system sync and configure all stuff, next reboot your phone. After this work will be completed the ROM will be fast. I recommend:
a) disable the sync of accounts which are no needed for you, or change "Update schedule" of these accounts.
b) disable the "Back up my setting" for google account if it is no needed for you.
c) disable Automatic brightness and set Brightness to min value.
- Note, please, you can use CifsManager to mount cifs(samba(ms windows))/nfs network resources to your phone. This tool is available in the Market. It allows you to play music or watch movies from any shared resources which are available in your local network without copying this content to your phone. To use it your phone should be connected to local network by WiFi.
Currently I have 2Gb ext4 second partition on my Transcend 6-class sdcard. I can tell the system works properly and fast:

Performance:
Please, look at my video if you would like to see the performance of this ROM.
Download:
EFP v.2 HD2 Desire HD stock (last Gauner's kernel)
Kernels: (only if you would like to replace a kernel of your already installed ROM to other kernel)
Gauner's kernel with ext4
MDJ's 10.3 kernel
MDJ's 10.4OC kernel
Updates:
Desire HD stock toolbar
Desire HD custom toolbar with percent battery
How to install kernels, updates or fixs:
1. You should have already ClockworkMod(zImage and initrd.gz) on sdcard. If you use ROM-ZIP builds I think you have it already.
2. Copy the update.zip file from an update or a fixs archive to sdcard root.
3. Reboot your phone, hold Power button to access the magldr menu.
4. Next select the "Boot AD SD" item. ClockworkMod will be loaded and you will see ClockworkMod Recovery menu.
5. Select the "apply update from sdcard" item.
6. Select "Yes".
7. After flashing will be done select the "reboot system now" item.
what working and not working ???
It would be nice to have the readme of each build at least posted in the first post, so we don't have to download everything to see if we need it
I am always looking for a PURE/Stock Desire HD build, with no frils and no EXTRA apps, for a TMOUS HD2. But with no readme , i'll wait for someone first.
Greetings Santroph
Did it Include CM Mod setting?
Ok, thats what I get for beeing unpacient, downloaded it, before even reading the thread hehehe
So it is what it says, only CWM versions of the sayd rom....
I don't need it synce I don;t use CWM, but, some people might like it. Thanks anyway.
Greetings Santroph.
is this ext 2 ,ext 3 ,ext 4 same?

Wel he did say that in the very first line of his post
But Until I get some sort of details on the builds and whats in it and whats not, I'll download MDJ's and let it sit on my sd card, cause I found CWM yesterday, and personally love it, especially with being able to take most NAND roms and convert them to CWM makes it ideal.

From the "How to instal" in readme file:
...Copy the CwMRec directory from the 2_step directory to root of sdcard.
After copying will be finished disconnect USB cable.
Go to "Services->BootSettings->AD SD Dir" in the magldr menu and select the CWMREC directory....
1. Perhaps you forgot to disconnect a USB cable safely.
2. You copied the content of the CwMRec directory to root of sdcard, but not the CwMRec directory. In this case the CwMRec directory not exists on sdcard, the zImage and initrd.gz files are placed in root of sdcard. You should skip the step of selecting directory for boot from SD or select the <.> .

This is a2sd+.
In case of A2SD the internal storage does not include external partition, you will see only size of free space in NAND. But in case A2SD+ you will see free space of the external partition as size of intrenal storage.

I am using Gauner's kernel build currently and I do not have any issues with root.
something is awfully wrong
the gauner version keeps giving me a bootloop
I think you forgot to disconnect a USB cable safely. Or you copied the content of the CwMRec directory to root of sdcard, but not the CwMRec directory.

3.2.1
This build is the exact copy of my RAFDROID HD EXT
the difference is that some parts of the system are "squashed" to give you the possibility to NOT USE any Ext partition for data.
I dont like squashedfs, but someone requested an hd build with some free space on nand (about 50mb) because some one not install a lot of apps and prefer to not use sd ext partition.
This build is mainly for EU HD2 (512mb) users.
If you are an HD 1024mb user really you dont need this, and you can use my main HD build
FEATURES
All the main features of RAFDROID HD EXT plus:
- odexed back to save dalvik cache space
- free user space after first boot: 101mb
- App2SD enabled if you use and SD with an EXT partition
CHANGELOG
Code:
3.2.1 - 3 MAR 11
Fixed Market FC
3.2- 3 MAR11
Some improvements and fixes to radio/audio driver,
this "should" fix phone freeze in some setups, also if I was not able to replicate the issues
Tweaked for more battery life on some sd cards usage
Updated hosts file with last one
3.1 - Initial release
=== INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (CWR) - NEW USERS WITHOUT CWR INSTALLED OR WITH CWR BUT USING ANOTHER ROM ===
This process will erase everything on your nand. So, if you are already using a previous rom, backup everything!
Download PANASONIC SD FORMATTER and use it to format your card with FULL ERASE
You need to flash MAGDLR 1.13
You need to flash, via USB FLASHER magdlr option, this recovery partition layout, otherwise the build will not boot.
Download the FULL RAFDROID PACKAGE and copy the entire zip (not extracted!) on the SD CARD root.
Put the SD CARD in your phone and power it on and go in the MAGDLR menu (hold the power key while powering up)
Select BOOT AD RECOVERY
Click on INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD and then CHOOSE ZIP FROM SD CARD
Select the FULL_RAFDROID_HD*******.zip that you downloaded before.
Select "Yes - Install........" and wait for installation then Go back with power button and select REBOOT SYSTEM NOW
First boot can take up to 20 minutes. If you are stuck on white screen with HTC logo just wait. If you hear boot sound more than one time, you had a bootlop and something has gone wrong. Delete everything, reformat your SD card, read again the instructions and try again.
When you see the lockscreen, give at least 5 minutes to settle. Then do all your settings and then reboot again
Enjoy.
Remember: if you want to avoid Data Corruption always choose SHUT OFF and not reboot!
=== INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (CWR) - UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS RAFDROID VERSION (2.2 or greater) WITH ALREADY CWR INSTALLED===
Since the data storage method is different, you cannot upgrade from a different RAFDROID HD version. You have to install fresh. Anyway you will keep your data and apps installed.
============ CONFIG.TXT ============Used some ideas and code bits from Dandiest's init script.
You can create a config.txt file on the root of your sdcard to configure some things at boot.
Actually you can configure the following options
gps_zone=[your country]
check http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@ for country codes (example: it for italy, us for usa.. and so on...)
ppp_mode=[1 or 0]
1 to enable PPP
0 to enable RMNET.
Default is 0
If wince=1 default ppp_mode will be 1
old_light_driver=[1 or 0]
0 to use the new light driver (working notification leds, button backlight control)
1 to use the old light driver (no notifications leds, buttons will go off after 10 seconds)
default is 0
auto_btn_backlight=[1 or 0]
1 to have the buttons backlight going off/on with the screen
0 to have the buttons backlight going off after 10 seconds from when the last button is pressed
default is 1
this work only if old_light_driver=0
wifi_mac_change=[1 or 0]
1 tells the system that you will need to change the wifi mac address to a custom one
0 tells the system that you will use the wifi mac address based on device hardware
custom_wifi_mac=yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy
here you have to write the wifi mac address you want.
This is needed, and will work, only if you specify wifi_mac_change=1
If you not write any mac address here, the default 00:11:22:33:44:55 will be used
Just an example on how a file could look:
Code:
gps_zone=it
ppp_mode=0
old_light_driver=0
auto_btn_backlight=1
The init script will also create an init.log file on your sd card at every boot. This will help you and me with debugging if something not works fine. If you have issues please always post your init.log file when reporting your problem.
============ KERNEL ============
You can refer to my kernel thread for updates, changelog, and comments
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940823
============ SQUASHED FILE SYSTEM ============
App, Framework and most of Lib folders, are squashed.
Anyway you can push or delete any file from those folder because any file is simlinked.
Example: if you want to use a different framework-res.apk, you can copy it in the /system/framework folder. At this point the simlink will be removed and your new file will be stored on nand, not in the squashed filesystem. This means that more "new files" you push in the squashed folders, less nand space you will have.
Anyway please note that I left only about 13mb free on "system". This means you will not able to push more then 13mb files. If you like to change a lot of things.. this build and squashfs is not for you.
============ DOWNLOADS ============
You need to flash, via USB FLASHER magdlr option, this recovery partition layout, otherwise the build will not boot.

FAQ
Q: I have low quadrant score
A: This is normal. Nand is slower. Anyway during day usage you shold not notice big difference
Q: I have small freeze when installing apps
A: This happens with all Desire HD builds. I can't do nothing to avoid this
Q: I'm using App2SD but my internal memory keep decreasing at any app installed
A: Go in the application management and move the installed abb back in the phone. Some apps anyway keep some datas in internal mem.
Q: My phone sometimes freeze and I have to reboot.
A: Go in Settings -> Audio -> disable audible touch tones. this will solve the issue in most of the cases.
Q: Can you provide a different link or a mirror different from hotfile?
A: I'm sorry but the answer is "no". I pay hotfile every month and the downloads give me the possibility to pay it. I dont do this for money, but I also dont want to waste my money
Q: During/after boot a window appears with "System process not respoding". What I have to do?
A: This is caused from the new audio driver I used. The new audio driver has better phone stability and no robo voice. You have two choices: 1) Click on "wait" and all will be fine OR 2) download the "old_acdb_file.zip" and flash it via recovery. In this way you will not have the error anymore but you will start having robo voice on first call (you can avoid this disabling audible touch tones) and could happen that your phone freezes when receiving a call. It's your choiche. I preferred the "window error" one because for me is more important to have a working phone than an error window appearing at boot.
Q: I have robo voice when I make a call
A: To avoid this, disable "audible touch tones" from the "settings -> audio" menu. You will have no-more robo voice also if you reboot.
a) During the robo-voice call, enable the speaker, then disable it. You will have no more robo-voice until next reboot.
Q: I have very low audio during calls
A: During the call, enable the speaker, then disable it. You will have loud volume until next reboot.
Q: after boot I see only a white screen with a green htc logo
A: just wait. It can take fro 5 up to 20 minutes depending on your sd card. There are no issue. The build booted fine, it's just copying all the files to SD. This will happen only on first installation.
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.You can edit the config.txt gps_zone= to your country. See here for the right strings http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/@ if this not solves, try use QuickGps from the market to download a-gps data.
Q: It not boots
A: partition again and format again your sd card. follow the guide linked in the first post. post your init.log. check that you flashed the custom recovery linked in the instructions.
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/customize/resource
Just delete android_audio.mp3 if you dont want sound
Q: I have wake up lag
A: It's an issue that devs are trying to solve. It's not related to the build itself. In the Q&A Forum there is a thread about this problem.
Q: My screen stays off after call
a) Maybe this can help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946012 ATM very few people have this issue, so I wonder is related to sd card.
Q: My contacts pictures are low res after sync!
A: this is a google problem, read here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4147
Q: I have random reboots
A: Seems to be related to your phone, read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941845 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898804

Hello Raf thank you very much for giving us this opportunity, just wondering which files should we use to revert back to stock framework and standard fonts and how to install them.
Thanks again for all your efforts
I always had problem with data on ext partition due to easy file corruption, so I'm trying this...thanks!

hi raf
i installed this one(only for proof of concept),works great and i think it is a little faster than the "normal" rafroid,i dont have any lag!!! but 101mb.....very poor...
back to rafroid HD "normal" with d2sd..... i love more space!!!
nice & good release
keep up the good work
cheers!
