I have been looking around for 2.1 ROM for a while and though few ROMs are great but as in life none of the ROMs are perfect
My simple wishlist is:
-app2sd
-no RAM Hack
But believe it or not I am yet to stumble upon one. In fact I used OpenEclair for a while and I loved it but RAM hack meant no games and no video so had to revert back to Cyanogen's.
If this is a n00bish question then kindly excuse 'coz ATM that's what I am .
Thanks in advance.

Do you use swap?

I was hoping you'd say no
I want to avoid using swap as I'm not sure of how much damage it will make to my sd-card.

well so far iv had mine for a month with a lot of flashing and repartitioning and i havent had a problem yet
you can always grab a new one for around 20$ http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-mic...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1268266465&sr=8-1
sacrificing 20$ for a great rom is more than reasonable in my opinion.

why do you need a2sd with a magic? if your worried about thrashing your sd with swap why aren't you bothered about running apps from the sd?
try an openeclair rom
just use a 64mb swap and thats it..no apps2sd
or if u want try open eclair with no swap or apps2sd
Thanks guys for your inputs. "kings droid Eris2g1" looks compelling. Gonna try this weekend .

you wont find that in android on hd2 then
Well, in your other thread you were talking about the iphone. Why not try MIUI? There are several fast and stable builds and looks very similar to the iphone with icons i think you may prefer. I have tested Ladyboo's build most recently and it is very stable.
Hi, Koolxx, you will find one in this thread

Go youtube HTC HD2 Android ROMs or similar and look at newer entries. Great way to see the different ROMs in action and decide what you like. As is any thread with "best phone" or "best ROM" it all comes down to user preference.

Sup dude, if you want suggestions you should give us an idea of what you're looking for first.
I'm currently using CM7 HyperDroid which suits me cos it's minimalistic, dark and fast. So if you like those things to, I definitely recommend it. Another good thing about this ROM is that you only need a 150mb CWM partition, which is good for us EU owners.
I've only tried one other ROM and that was UltimateDroid. It's another fast ROM (I'm pretty sure it's based off CM7) which has a lot of theme options. It's got a more stock feeling to it, but if you don't like the default green it's got red, blue etc.
I'd also suggest having a look at the MIUI ROMs too, I haven't tried one yet but they have some interesting features.
Hope this helps man.

i need a sens rom, and it must be stable. and fast is always good
I've had no luck with Sense ROMs so far. Not fast enough for the added eye candy. Been a long time CM user and finally tried MIUI yesterday morning. OMG! Within two hours I became a diehard MIUI fanboy. Been hammering it ever since and it's blowing me away. More functionality than CM, same level of zippy performance, but much better eye candy. It have yet to find one thing I don't like and it keeps amazing me as I stumble upon new feature after new feature. I don't think I can go back to any other ROM now.

MIUI needs a 120mb CWM so it's low profile like CM. Both good for EU owners. Unlike that damn 400mb for Sense.

One of it's few lacking features... true. Always forget about that since I listen to mp3, podcasts, and internet radio. FM radio pretty much unnecessary here in the states with the other alternatives.
I'm also on miui but I installed launcher pro because I didn't like the iphone like launcher. you should try it. the roms are very smooth and fast. i'm using the ndt one and won't go back unless the gingersense roms are working without bugs.
sure but i think it won't work on gingerbread when none of the roms have included it.
and well, honeycomb has the highest build number but it's for tablets.... just use 2.3.4

+1 to both posts. Don't use the honeycomb version. The one in my sig is solid. No force closes yet and smooth. I run everything at once and no issues.
As mentioned above, hypderdroid cm7 is one i recommend as well, it is very fast. You will need cwm installed thought but its worth it. Here give it a try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769026
Best sense Rom is cmxylogo hands down. V2.

Let me preface this by saying I am not trying to start a "What is the best ROM" thread. My question is simple. Of the many Android ROMs available for the HD2, which is the most optimized and stable Gingerbread ROM? Furthermore, is there some sort of CM7 port for the HD2?
+1
Anyone help !?
After testing several Roms on my retired Leo, my best experience was with HyperdroidGBX. Very very fast, good battery life and overall an excellent ROM.

Personally, I've used NDT MIUI for a quite some time, it's not for everyone I guess, but you could always use a different launcher. It's never given me problems, and it runs smooth as silk
Before MIUI I was a hyperdroid fanboy though, both are excellent roms

I'm sorry but rephrasing the "What is the best ROM" question doesn't make it any different...U didn't even take d time out to check out the Android dev threads, cuz if u did then u surely would have seen not 1 but 2 threads featuring cm7 ports for the HD2....U won't get any real help here cuz we all use our phones differently, wats cool for me might not be cool for u so go out there and flash...flash..flash...Flashing is much safer & far easier than before with the help of CWM...Look @ screenshots & read devs/user posts on wat works and doesn't...Find d ROM dat suits U & U alone....XDA is a development site, so show some effort & u'll be rewarded.
By all means, start here.

I'm sorry but I really didn't want people's personal preferences on ROM's. When I meant the most optimized Gingerbread ROM, I meant the most optimized ROM. Not talking about features, looks or anything else. Just the smoothest one that runs Gingerbread. I also apologize that I didn't look around the forums enough to find the CM7 port thread. I'm still learning my way around these forums and I have very little knowledge regarding these ROMs and such but I will do my best to look for relevant threads.
DoctorGore said:
Sup dude, I second (or third? haha) HyperDroid. It's based on CM7 and is very stable. There's two versions, I'd go for the out that was updated on the 29th of April because I think the dev has stopped working on the other one.

Thanks for the recommendations guys! I will do some more research on HyperDroid and give it a shot when I get my HD2. Sounds exactly like what I'm looking for.
i can recommend you the ndt roms. the gingerbread and the miui are both very fast and stable.
i also used hyperdroid before which is very good too but ndt worked better for me.

I second that,
Hyperdroid GBX is the fastest and smoothest Gingerbread Rom, for the HD2

I'm very happy with hyperdroid as well, but I did have to change the pixel density from what the rom comes with... way too squinty
once you try Typhoon cm7 you wont ever use another rom but his

I base my own tests on how good gun bros runs on the roms i have tested and till now only NexusHd2- from tytung runs this game without any problems. All other roms failed. It may be that i am doing something wrong but is very unlikely.
I've tried CM7 nightlies and tytung's rom, both have issues last I checked (last week). Tytung build seemed great, but just had the phone app lockup/issue mid-call (perhaps it's fixed by now).
I settled on Tyween's TyphooN CM7 "nightly" build, and have had no issues at all since the install.

Hey,
So I switched to another phone like 4months ago and now my father wants to have my HD2, so I need a really stable rom.
Im not really informed on what is there for the hd2 at the moment, so I thought I just ask.
I dont need a rom thats fast, well it shouldnt be too slow but it should be really bug free and stable so that he does not run into any problems.
Any suggestions?

Normally I would flame you for asking a stupid and over-asked question, but since I'm in a nice mood I'll tell you to stick to MIUI and CM7 ROMs, ICS is slow, Sense is (in my opinion) slower than other ROMs and there really isn't any point in using anything else. Try some of the SD versions of all the ROMs (you may like Sense as well) and you will find the right one. I personally use Typhoon CM7
Oh and in future, if you ever feel like 'just asking' in the future, ask the search bar first

I can also +1 on the passing on flaming, also Typhoon is a great GB rom
Make that 3 for 3 on wanting to torch the poor guy ...
I do, however, agree ... Try either Typhoon or (imo) Hyperdroid ... Not much (if anything missing, not working, or otherwise not good) in these roms. Both great builds!!!
I tried any kind of rom.
sense is not heavy like they say, and is still the best rom...
miui IMO is the best rom for hd2, light, faster than cm7 and sense, now is bug free...miui is my suggestion
Miui.... Hyperdroid... Cm7 I recently got my hd back from the jtag service, which was great..... and im running miui right now .... have tried all three of these though A sense rom set up properly can be pretty fast though
Hi
give Haldric v3 a chance, it's the best rom next to stock.

Agree. +1. Very nice and stable ROM
I've had good experience with the Typhoon CM7 ROM and the DorimanxROM (although this one is a bit harder to install if you want to have the high-performance version).
It seems that MIUI is worth a shot as well, but I personally never tried it.
As already mentioned, just try some different SD card versions and when you find one that you like, finally flash a NAND version of it.
