NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich is a HD2 ROM based on Nexus One's AOSP ICS ROM which is compiled from the source code.

• Include tytung's 2.6.32.15 ICS kernel beta 8.
• Include tytung's ICS ramdisk (initrd.gz).
• Include the required proprietary binaries files and the HD2-specific files (they are not in AOSP ICS) from my AOSP GB ROM (i.e. NexusHD2-Gingerbread).
• Credits: tytung, texasice, ankuch, rapmv78, the CM and Evervolv teams, etc.

• ROM: NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta9.zip | mirror | (Please don't mirror. Thanks.) | md5sum:  015293A4166BC7E340400A4A55A45A31
• cLK kernel: NexusHD2-Kernel_2.6.32.15_tytung_ICS_Beta8-v2-cLK-update.zip.
• MAGLDR kernel:NexusHD2-Kernel_2.6.32.15_tytung_ICS_Beta8-MAGLDR-update.zip. (This is included in the ROM in default.)

• Please use at least 185MB system partition and at least 2MB cache partition.
  • Please refer to ksubedi's HD2 NAND Toolkit and/or mskip's guide.
  • Cache partition (/dev/block/mtdblock4) is only used by CWM.
  • Cache partition size is not important because the data partition (/dev/block/mtdblock5) is used as the cache space when running Android.
  • If your HD2 has bad NAND blocks, you may need larger partitions.
• Wipe
  • Wipe Data/Factory Reset while doing a fresh install.
  • Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache while upgrading and wanting to retain data.
• Flash the ROM.
  • MAGLDR: Flash NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta9.zip, then reboot.
  • 　 cLK　 : Flash NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Beta9.zip and NexusHD2-Kernel_2.6.32.15_tytung_ICS_Beta8-v2-cLK-update.zip, then reboot.

• Enable/Disable the virtual soft keys (i.e. the on-screen virtual button):
  • Flash framework-res.apk_v403_without_softkeys.zip (Default in the ROM.)
  • Flash framework-res.apk_v403_with_softkeys.zip (To fix the overlay of the softkeys and the keyboard, install ICS keyboard from the Market or get the apk here.)
• Two tutorials about how to enlarge your internal storage.
  • internal Storage on external Storagecard
  • Whatever to SD
• About the mobile data connection types: RMNET V.S. PPP.
  • Bootloader MAGLDR supports RMNET and PPP. I set RMNET as default for MAGLDR ROM since beta 9 because stock Android only supports RMNET.
  • Bootloader cLK only supports PPP.
  • RMNET is more stable than PPP. (Some PPP users have data drop issues.) However PPP may be faster.
  • Flash RMNET_to_PPP_update.zip if you prefer PPP on MAGLDR.
