How does the Android port work on HD2 (performance, games), can it be considered stable? - Android works no worse than, for example, on HTC Desire and Google Nexus one. But a lot depends on the specific firmware.
2.
I have flashed MAGLDR, I want to return everything back (run WM), how to do it? - It's simple, just flash any WM firmware, incl. unofficial. Sew through Bootloader! At the moment (MAGLDR 1.13), either WM or MAGLDR can exist in the internal memory. The firmware of one of them is due to the removal of the other.
3.
When starting the flash driver gives an errorError Description: USB init failedor others - Run the flash driver on behalf of the Administrator or use
corrected flash driver 4.
The firmware after installation at the first start hangs ongo go go - Install the last MAGLDR.
5.
Was the video recording in 720p? - no, the only driver that was never completed can be downloaded
from here but the video is very poor quality.

I already have an Android flashing, how can I change the firmware to another Android firmware? - just flash the new firmware using "Instructions on Android OS firmware" from the header. In this case, HSPL, Radio, and MAGLDR do not need to reinstall. The following is described in detail.
ZIP firmware change method:
If the new firmware requires a system partition of approximately the same size (the same or slightly smaller), then it is enough to install the zip of the new firmware via CWM, having previously performed the same CWM
wipe data / factory reset . If a larger partition is required for a new firmware, then first you need to reflash the CWM with the parameters (size of the system partition) required for the firmware, and then install the zip of the new firmware. You can determine the size of the system partition using the program
root explorer , for this you need to go into it in the / system folder and look at the amount of available memory in the top panel - this will be the size of the system partition that you have created on the current firmware. The way to install CWM firmware and install zip firmware through it is described in the "Android OS Firmware Manual".
The size of the system partition required for a specific firmware can be specified in our
firmware catalog.
The described method involves the installation of a new firmware clean, the update of the firmware version is described in the 15th paragraph.
9.
How to update MAGLDR? - Install the new version, like the old one. Data will not be lost.
10.
How to configure the installation of applications on the SD card? 1) use
SparePartsfrom
xGETSx 2) use applications for transfer to a memory card such as
В® Move2SD Enablerand
SDMove3a) For firmware with Cyanogen Mod - Go to "Settings" ->"CyaogenMOD" ->"Applications" ->"Allow moving", put a check mark; you can experiment with the installation site in the same place.
3b) Settings ->Applications ->Application Management ->Next, select the program and click "Move to SD card"
11.
How to get ROOT on firmware? - On all new firmware, superuser rights (root rights, administrator rights) are available initially and you do not need to receive them again. For "Stock" - immediately after the firmware is rebooted and in the MAGLDR menu select the item "AD Hard reset", after that the ROOT works. You can also try to get root using the program
z4root + one more program
SuperOneClick 12.
Where can I additionally read about porting progress? -
xda-developers branch (English forum)
13.
Convenient work with the terminal and ADB -
download and unpack, following the necessary instructions, no need to install.
14.
I can not charge the communicator in the off state - In MAGLDR this can not be done. This is a known bug MAGLDR - HD2 not charging in the off state. Therefore, the MAGLDR version 1.13 has an automatic switch-on when the power is connected. In previous versions, if you have a problem, you need to wrap the battery.
As an alternative to MAGLDR, you can use the CLK bootloader, it allows you to charge the HD2 in the off state.
15.
Is it possible to update the firmware without losing data? - Only in firmware versions for CWM recovery. Go to the CWM recovery execute item
wipe dalvik cache as well as point
wipe cache (paragraph
wipe data Do not touch) and install the ZIP of the new firmware version via CWM recovery. At the same time, all settings and applications will remain in place.
16.
Build / disassemble system.img and boot.img -
in windows ,
in linux 17.
When downloading files to a memory card via MAGLDR in "MassStg USB" mode, the transfer often hangs - this is a problem of MAGLDR 1.13, especially manifested when there is an ext partition. Use the removable disk mode in CWM recovery (while charging via USB) or copy files through a card reader.
18.
On the support of high-capacity batteries - in all the latest (at the end of March) cores (and therefore the firmware), there was full support for official high-capacity batteries. Informal batteries also work, but there may be problems with charging and displaying the current charge. It is best to charge until the current becomes zero, you can check it with the program
Current widget . When changing the battery, it is desirable to reset the battery statistics, i.e. perform
Wipe Battery Stat in CWM before downloading the firmware. If a “big” battery sits as fast as a small one, a charge is probably incorrectly displayed, a reboot can help.
19.
How to change the images that appear when loading HD2? - when booting HD2 can appear up to four different images. The first 3 of them are static, the last is dynamic (animation). The first image is called Boot Screen, the second is Splash Screen.
Instructions for replacing images
When HD2 is loaded may not appear all 4 images, if some of them are missing or damaged, the system just skips it without any indication. The third and fourth images are usually present. If you have a load only 3 images, then, most likely, there is no Boot Screen or Splash Screen. To determine which of them is missing, you can ask them the following instructions. If there is no third image, the boot device instead of displaying images will show MAGLDR long menu with the last line "Go Go Go". For replacement Boot Splash screen and say thank you

his original message ).
Boot Screen Replacement
1. Download archive to PC
BMP2NBH.zip. Create an empty folder on the PC with any name, put 3 files in it: "nbimg.exe", "BMP2NBH 1st Boot.exe" and "1boot.bmp". The first can be obtained from the archive. The third is to get it yourself. Getting
1boot.bmp:
1. Method. Download the desired image from the Internet. At the same time the choice is limited, but no effort is needed. Simply upload any image you like, located at the following link:
google search "HTC HD2 Splash Screen" with parameters 480x800, BMP. Before using the image, do not forget to rename the image to "1boot.bmp" (you must enable
file extension display function).
2. The way. Find any image you like and bring it in the desired format yourself. Any image with the following parameters will be suitable for the boot image:
- the name "1boot" (without quotes);
- BMP format;
- 480x800 resolution;
- color depth 24 bits.
To convert an image to this type, you can use most graphic editors for PC, for example, Photoshop.
2. Run the file "BMP2NBH 1st Boot.exe".
3. Two files will appear next to each other: "1boot.bmp.nb" and "1boot.bmp.nbh"
The file "1boot.bmp.nb" can be deleted, it is not needed, but does not interfere.
4. In the downloaded BMP2NBH.zip archive, find the ROMUpdateUtility.zip file (Russified custom flash driver) and unzip it to any folder on the PC.
5. Copy the 1boot.bmp.nbh file to the same folder.
6. Go to the SPL (bootloader, bootloader, mattress): on the device completely turned off, hold down the volume down key and briefly press the power key.
7. After the color bars (mattress) appear on the screen, we connect the KVM to the PC (USB will appear in the bottom bar).
8. Flash Boot Screen: from the folder with the custom flash driver, launch the ROMUpdateUtility.exe file and follow the instructions on the PC screen.
Splash Screen Replacement
1. Download archive to PC
BMP2NBH.zip. Create an empty folder on the PC with any name, place 3 files in it: "nbimg.exe", "BMP2NBH 2nd Splash.exe" and "2splash.bmp". The first can be obtained from the archive. The third is to get it yourself. Getting
2splash.bmp:
1. Method. Download the desired image from the Internet. At the same time the choice is limited, but no effort is needed. Simply upload any image you like, located at the following link:

Replacing boot animation
This animation is an archive with special content. To change the boot animation is enough with
Root explorer'a (or using any other file manager with root access, for example, using
EStrongs File Explorer, in the settings you need to remember to enable root access) file
/system/media/bootanimation.zip(if it is not there, then the file
system / customize / resource / bootanimation.zip) replace with any other. Various bootanimation.zip animations can be found on the Internet, as well as simply pulled out of any other ZIP firmware, simply unzip it, the file will be in the folder
/system/media/bootanimation.zipor
system / customize / resource / bootanimation.zip.
If you want to take the animation from another device, then the main thing to remember is that its resolution should coincide with that of HD2, namely 480x800.
Replacing the third boot image
It is a very complicated procedure and can be replaced only under Linux OS. The image itself is located in the initrd.gz file, which is part of the firmware and is in the boot (boot) partition along with the kernel. The file is called logo.rle - this is a graphical format for Linux. Details

I do not have enough internal memory. How to create an ext4 partition on a memory card? -
Instruction ,
Paragon Hard Drive Manager 2010 pro download Instructions for creating an ext partition without a PC through CWM recovery
- On the communicator should be installed ClockworkMod recovery.
- The memory card must be installed in the communicator.
- Login to CWM recovery.
For MAGLDR: on the switched off communicator, hold down the power key and DO NOT release it until the menu appears, use the volume keys to select "AD recovery", press the call accept key.
For cLK: on the switched off communicator, briefly press the power key and hold down the "Home" key until the cLK menu appears. Next, it will automatically download CWM recovery.
- CWM recovery will boot.
- Go to the "advanced" menu.
- Select "Partition SD card".
- Select in the first window 1024M and in the second 0M (First - the size of the EXT3 partition created on the memory card, the second - the size of the Swap partition, if you install 0 MB, the partition will not be created).
- While creating partitions, in no case do not take any action with the communicator.
- The section is created, we return to the main menu with the "Back" button.
- To exit CWM recovery, click "reboot system now".

What are Data2ext, A2SD + and how do they differ
ext-partition - a section specially created on the memory card that is used to install programs and user data in it on firmware supporting A2SD +, A2SD, Data2ext methods
A2SD is a function (script) that allows you to automatically install applications on a memory card in a specially created ext-partition (formatted as ext2, ext3 or ext4). It is one of the methods for solving the problem of small amount of internal memory on HD2.
A2SD + is the same as A2SD, but not only the application itself is recorded in the ext-partition, but also all its data, including cache (can lead to a decrease in the resource of the memory card). It is the most effective method of saving (expanding) space on a memory card.
Data2ext - the method by which the entire / data folder is mounted (redirected), that is, when checking the memory, you can see the size of ext + phone memory
If you have an ext partition, then when you install the application in the "phone memory" it is automatically forwarded to the ext partition. Those. The system says that the application is in the internal memory, and in fact in the ext section on the memory card. When you write an application to a memory card (this will be written in the system), applications are transferred to the FAT partition.
A2SD + does not replace ext partition the internal memory, it only replaces some of the folders are written applications. Here you are in the file manager to find the root of the internal memory, data folder, and so this folder and have the "Internal memory" that shows the android. To relieve her some folders from it forwarded to the ext partition (sd-ext folder). You can redirect the entire data folder in the ext partition (this script is called Data2ext, in this case, ext replaces internal memory and android will be shown in the internal memory of 1GB), but it cherevato system performance and stability, as this system folder and for-and large it can not be transferred to an external medium.
There are firmware with Data2ext script, yes there will not be such a problem with clogging up the internal memory like on A2SD +, but Data2ext is used only in cases of emergency, in very large firmware, when the firmware does not physically fit into the internal memory.
About memory expansion and ext partitions
What is ext (
ext2 /
ext3/
ext4)? -
file systemcores
linux. ext2 is the oldest filesystem (the oldest doesn’t mean bad), ext3 updates it with journaling support, ext4 is the latest version of the filesystem, it provides good work with large files (if there are many large files in the system, then ext4 provides more speed).
Why journaling on HD2 and what could it cause? Why do I need to create some partitions on the memory card? In the European version of HD2 to work with Android, there is not enough internal memory, so a partition in the Linux format is created on the memory card, which serves to expand this memory.
What is the size of the ext partition? - from 512MB to 2GB. It is recommended to create a partition on 1GB.
Where better to put applications in ext or just transfer to a memory card? advantages and disadvantages of each method
On ext:
+ When the phone is connected in drive mode, the storage of all programs is not disabled and they remain accessible.
+ The probability of data loss is minimal if logging is not disabled in the firmware (sd boost).
+ Net speed is higher, since the native ext2,3,4 file system (and even more so ReiserFS).
+ The operation scheme of A2SD + and other partition mounts allows more data to be transferred to the partition.
- It is necessary to immediately allocate a certain space to a section, if it is not fully used, this space cannot be used to store files, music, etc. (well, in usual ways)
- Requires the correct layout of the sections of the map.
- It is impossible to work with data from under Windows (is it a minus?)
- The need to keep the mounted partition on the map slightly reduces the response time of the system and the corresponding programs.
To map:
- When you connect the phone in drive mode, the storage of all programs is turned off and they are unavailable until the card is turned off correctly.
- The probability of data loss is high due to the peculiarities of the vFAT file system, especially when connecting the phone in drive mode.
- Work speed is lower.
- In any case, basically, at least 10-20% of the program volume goes to the main memory.
+ The space for the transferred programs is allocated in proportion to the required for the program automatically (it is allocated from vFAT therefore it only takes as much as necessary).
+ Does not require correct layout of map sections.
+ Easy to work with data from under Windows (is it a plus?)
+ No need to keep the mounted partition on the map, does not slow down the response time.
How to solve the problems of small amount of internal memory on HD2? internal memory expansion methods
1) The firmware that supports script A2SD + (this support can be implemented in any firmware). Create a section ext (ext2 / ext3 / ext4) on the memory card. The specific type of file system is selected from its own reasons and on the basis of support in the operating system kernel. It is recommended to create ext partition 1GB capacity, but it is possible and different size. Moreover, if you have created a profile, for example, in GB, that is available will be slightly smaller because a certain amount of memory allocated to the system needs. After loading the OS script automatically activated (in the firmware that supports script A2SD +). Now when the application is installed to the internal memory, it will automatically be installed in the ext partition and all the data that it will create, will also be recorded in the ext partition. In fact, not all the data generated by the application are recorded in the ext partition, so when you install the application amount of the internal memory will be reduced, but not enough. Note after creating ext partition volume of internal memory will not change. View ext partition can not be standard means. The volume of this section can be seen, for example, in the programquick system info. If the program in ap2sd does not show the volume of the partition, then it does not work. Most likely the section was not properly created.2) Data2SD. The method is similar to the previous one, but for expanding the memory, a specially created partition is used, which requires full formatting of the memory card, but the image data.img.
space saving methods
3) transferring the application to the memory card. See paragraph 10 of this FAQ, in addition, you can give some advice. In the settings in the application management, you can transfer the application to the memory card, but only after the installation. In this case, the Transfer application is incomplete, but a certain amount of memory can be saved. As well it can be done with the help of programs like A2SD. The disadvantage of this method is that for the initial installation of applications still need a place in the internal memory.
4) If you have firmware with Cyanogen mod, then there is an item in its settings: where to install applications. You need to select a memory card as an installation location.
21.
Can I create an ext partition after I installed the firmware? - You can create an ext partition on a memory card at any time. But if your firmware supports automatic data transfer to the ext partition (there is support for A2SD +, Data2ext, Data2SD scripts), then it is likely that after this the system will not work correctly. And still have to reinstall.

What is config.txt and where is it located? It lies in the root of the memory card in the FAT section (if you have others).
Explanations
Config.txt - file for specifying some additional parameters of firmware download if supported by the init script
It is an ordinary text file placed in the root of the fat section on a memory card with the name config.txt:
similar to the following:
ppp_mode = 0
gps_zone = europe
sd_boost = 1
Usually through the config is given:
radio type - PPP or RMNET

30.
What is ClockworkMod recovery (CWR / DVR or CWM)? This is an enhanced recovery version (HD2 does not have the usual recovery), which allows you to make a full backup of the firmware, replace system files, install firmware without a PC, easily install fixes and patches, do wipe and create an ext3 partition on a memory card. Supported in MAGLDR version 1.13 and higher, but not originally installed. CWM installs only ZIP firmware. You can learn more about CWM for HD2 and download it in the Android OS firmware manual.

How to deal with the license for Navitel when changing firmware? -
explanations
After flashing the license for Navitel gets off. The OEM key is reregistered 3 times for whatever reason (
official site ). For the activation of the program meets the file build.prop. thank
OmSoft for the information provided. To save the license when changing the firmware, you need to save the file /system/build.prop and /system/build.*.prop (if there is one) from the old firmware with the installed Navitel license. In this file, the following lines affect the registration of Navitel:
ro.product.name
ro.product.device
ro.product.board
ro.build.product
ro.product.model
ro.product.brand
In principle, you can save only them, and then manually rewrite.
Comment. If the parameter
ro.product.board matters different from
bravo , then in some firmwares the auto-rotate of the screen stops working.

I only have 412MB of RAM, is this normal? - appears set to 412 MB, 512 MB, in some in some Android firmware amount of available memory. Regardless of this, in all the Android firmware only ~ 412 MB of memory available to the operating system. Volume "available memory", which is displayed in the settings Android'a registered in the operating system kernel, it has registered to HTC (kernel for HD2 is based on the original nuclei of Android devices from HTC), our developers could not use more. But this does not mean that the remaining 150 MB are doing nothing, they just can not use the operating system and therefore the user.
HTC allocates the remaining memory for the video accelerator. And do not forget that the bootloader (SPL) and the radio module also use RAM. And 412 MB is the amount of RAM available for the Android operating system, i.e. all that remains of the above modules.

GPS does not work, does not catch satellites badly or does not catch at all - help solve the following problem
decision
There are two ways described below. They can be used both together and separately.
Method number 1. Use new GPS driver from
Tytung -
GPS_Libraries_v2.1_NMEA.zip - version for most firmware, if not working, then use version
GPS_Libraries_v2.1_RPC.zip - Fits most Sense firmwares. Install via CWM.
Author's topic on XDA-developers . This driver works on all Android 2.3 (2.2) firmwares, precisely uses AGPS (with Internet access available) and allows you to reduce a cold start to half a minute.
Also for the latest driver versions it is recommended to use
following recommendations, you can simply add / remove lines in the /system/etc/gps.conf file. If you use the second method, then you need to do it after installing the patch.
Method number 2 - helps not all.
For CWM / ZIP firmware users, simply install the following ZIP via CWM:
RUSSIA.zip- This is the AGPS patch for Russia version 1.2. Patches for other countries can be downloaded
hereFor users of DAF firmware: copy and replace the file /system/etc/gps.conf from the archive into a similar folder in the HD2 internal memory.

What is Cyanogen mod (CM, cyan)? - this is a tweaker. Modification of Android, which allows you to change the interface (top panel, lock screen, etc.) and system settings. It also allows you to change the frequency of the processor, including overclocking it, and more.
47.
On my XXX firmware there are very noticeable stepped gradients, how to fix it? decision
In the latest firmware, the problem should be absent, the problem is fixed. HD2 cannot physically display more than 65 thousand colors, since he has a 16-bit cable connected to the screen. Older firmwares were designed for more colors, so stepped gradients were obtained.

Accelerometer (G-sensor) does not work on Android, although WM is fine -
explanations
Silem I encountered, like a few here, a non-working accelerometer (g-sensor) in most firmwares. On the other hand, the problem was analyzed, it was suggested that when replacing broken glass with HD2 in the SC, updated sensors are installed that are not perceived. My device was brought from the states and changed the screen on it or not, I do not know. but the sensor is not working.
That's why I decided to install the firmware port from fresh HTC devices in the hope that there are already fresh drivers.
I will please the owners of problematic devices - the BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA DESIRE HD V15 firmware saw and calibrated the sensor without problems.
Home tyrant The situation with the G-sensor has cleared up. After studying the topic on XDA-Dev, in which there was a discussion of this problem, I found out the following:
HTC HD2 built after 09/2010
Translated into Russian, this means that in HD2, produced after September 2010, there is a new type of sensors.
That is, the problem of its inoperability in Android is associated with the lack of the required module in the kernel.

The microphone when talking is too sensitive, the interlocutor can hear all the people around -
decision
On
XDA-developers wrote a microphone fix. To install it - content
archive copy to the communicator in the folder
system / etc / firmware / replacing the files there. With this audio driver, the sound will be quieter, but the sensitivity of the microphone will be normal, the robotic voice and the loudness that does not change is also inherent in this driver. The fix is ​​already built into the core of Tytung r12 and accordingly into the cores based on it.
This fix allows the user to control the sensitivity of the microphone using the program
HD2 Mic Control. You can also manually edit the microphone sensitivity value in the /etc/init.d/10mic_level file. Its default content is:
echo '0 400'> / proc / mic_level
echo '1 600'> / proc / mic_level
The first line - the sensitivity of the microphone in normal mode, the second - in hands-free mode. It is worth remembering that when setting a high sensitivity, an echo may appear.

If you save the backup folder, then later through the same CWM, you can restore that backup point "restore". And most importantly, a system partition size of the internal memory and HD2 ext partition on the memory card at the time of recovery backup should not be less than the size of the sections at the time of the backup firmware.

What should I do if the battery is completely discharged and the communicator does not even turn on? - the problem occurs only for MAGLDR users (the CLK allows charging in the off state). You can solve it by connecting the charging clock by 8. If this does not help, it will help
advice from maximglin
1. We take the device and connect to the outlet.
2. The light came on, but then the charge is not enough to enter the MAGLDR.
3. We juggle the battery and again connect to the outlet.
4. The light came on, but then the charge is not enough to enter the MAGLDR.
