  • Include tytung's ICS ramdisk (initrd.gz).
  • Include the required proprietary binary files and the HD2-specific files from my AOSP GB ROM (i.e. NexusHD2-Gingerbread).
  • Credits: tytung, samuaz, texasice, firesnatch, ankuch, rapmv78, romanbb, the CM and Evervolv teams, etc.
You can find the SD version in the SD thread.

Downloads:

Installations:

  • Please use at least 200MB 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 this ROM.
    • MAGLDR: Flash NexusHD2-ICS-CM9_V1.1.zip, then reboot.
    • 　 cLK　 : Flash NexusHD2-ICS-CM9_V1.1.zip and the cLK kernel, then reboot.

Extra Downloads:

  • Enable/Disable the virtual soft keys (i.e. the on-screen virtual button):
  • (Optional) Increase the internal storage size by flashing any types of A2SD scripts below:
    (Flash any of them only when you install too many apps and the internal memory (i.e. data partition) is out of space.)
    (Caution: Don't use any of them if you are not an advanced user. Otherwise you may have low volume, screen lag and other strange issues.)
  • About the mobile data connection types: RMNET V.S. PPP.
    • Bootloader MAGLDR supports both RMNET and PPP. I set RMNET as default for MAGLDR ROM 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 for some users.
    • Flash RMNET_to_PPP_update.zip if you prefer PPP on MAGLDR.
  • Flash Mms app blurry pic fix if required.
