• Please read the NexusHD2-ICS-CM9 FAQ Wiki before asking any questions. (Thanks Geenyous, Szczepanik, TheManii, etc. for editing these Q&A to avoid the repeated questions.)
• Please visit the NexusHD2-ICS-CM9 A2SD Discussion Thread for how to increase the internal storage size, and post all the a2sd questions in that thread. Thanks.

Installations:

• Please use at least 165MB 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. (Optional: also delete /sdcard/Android folder or format your SD card if you have any strange issue.)
  • Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache while upgrading from an old version and wanting to retain data.
• Flash this ROM.
  • MAGLDR: Flash NexusHD2-ICS-CM9_V1.5.zip, then reboot.
  • 　 cLK　 : Flash NexusHD2-ICS-CM9_V1.5.zip and the cLK kernel, then reboot.

Extra Downloads:

• Enable/Disable the stock size of the virtual soft keys (i.e. the navigation bar):
  • Toggle it via "Settings -> Interface -> General Settings -> Show Nav bar" and then "Reboot -> Restart" to take effect.
  • To fix the overlay of the softkeys and the keyboard, install ICS keyboard from the Market or get the apk here.
• 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 ICS Softkeys Mod (smaller size of the virtual soft keys) if required.
