• June 29 updated: Flash kernel tytung_HWA_r3.2 for fixing the battery drain (about 40mA) after using Bluetooth.
• This ROM works for MAGLDR and cLK at the same time.

Installations:

• Please use at least 170MB system partition and at least 2MB cache partition.
  • Please refer to ksubedi’s HD2 NAND Toolkit and/ormskip’s guide.
  • Cache partition (/dev/block/mtdblock4) is only mounted and 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.
