[Q] HTC HD2 - Android Porting

Getting ready for brickbats, I send in this query.
I have an HD2. I want to try Android OS on it. However, the information in the forums is quite overwhelming for someone like me, who only knows the front end of the phone. I have searched the forums for methods and which version to use, but end up getting lost.
All I know till now is that I need to download the Android file and save it on the phone and then run it. But which version(there are so many!)? What are things that work, and do not work? What all do I need to do for a functional phone after I port it?
My apologies if the answer to this has already been posted somewhere; please point me to it and I shall be grateful.
Please help!

Sorry mate, but all the answers to your questions are in the threads in the development section.
Just pick one and read the first post (realistically, read the first few pages). That gives you all the info you need on running Android.
Just go from ROM to ROM and read what's already been written about them, in order to decide which to use.
Thank you John! I will do that!
Seasons Greetings!

I'm facing the same nooby issue - creating an optimal avd for the HTC Desire HD. Did you have any luck with your research/experimentation?

AVD stands for 'android virtual device'. AVDs are is used by the Eclipse IDE for developing apps for the Android system. Essentially, when developing an app it is very useful to check it against the AVDs of different android devices to ensure that the app will perform properly on each device.
When I asked for help, I thought that this forum - namely xda-developers - would be able to point me to sources of the AVD's of various android devices. I'm surprised that no-one seems to have heard of them - are there any andriod app developers that read this forum?

Might be useful to all the ROM builders out there...

Hey guys i found this on the net... in a newbie to android.. So all you people are in the process of cooking up ROMS for our device.. so i thought this might be useful..
http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/04/29/huawei-apps-android-phone-download/
Its a list of ported Huawei apps from other Huawei phones.. i think they are taken from an Ascend P1.
PS: I also have a question for you.. guys.. im on stock GB.. how do i / can i install these apps? (i tried regular install doesn't work)
and GB USERS DONT INSTALL THE CAMERA APP IT WILL DELETE ALL YOUR PHOTOS WHEN IT TRIES TO INSTALL AND IT WILL FAIL.
Let me do it in a cool way
Hi this is Rittik. I guess you are new to android. Please correct me if i am wrong.
I am assuming you are male,So am calling u as "bro". Anyway.
Bro thanks for your wonderful share but,While cooking/compiling/building Android ROMs developers even build the apps together. So i would say this thread wont really help any rom cooks out there. Its just a share of apps. Thanks for sharing.
Another thing is This is the development forums,you could have written in U8800 general forums with the Tag "u8800pro".
I will press a "Thanks" button to motivate you to keep sharing
ok!

hey thanx for the reply.. well jus thought you guys might want to include some of this in your ROMS.. and I didn't include it on the general forum beacuase majority of the posts are regarding u8800 ..the u8800 pro stuff seems to not stand out. but I'll keep in mind what you said
Awesome the thing is most of these wont work because these were taken from 4.1 stock Ascend's ROM. Which will need Standard libs or framework to work completely . I have tried them. Thanks for sharing once again.

Hmm.. Yeah I found out they don't work on GB the hard way
