Hi Ya'll,
Just a quick random question: how is a tattoo build? are they stable enough for everyday use? or is it like a Hero build? lemme know. right now i'm about try out Zen's tattoo 1.67.1100.7 build.
Thanks.
~Giggles~

NFSFAN V1.00
Mostly use Zen's 1.6 Droid-Ion, but trying Tattoo.
Hey come check out all the great news at techbrawl
well, i tried out zen's tattoo 1.67.1100.7 build. and its actually really stable, but the only prob i have is that i can't sync with google, and there is no market place, and data is iffy. but never-the-less a stable build.
now im hoping i could somehow find a way to sync my contacts?
edit:
i found a great way to sync things with hero/magic/tattoo builds. HTC sync.
Here
gah, no linux support
the tattoo builds are quite nice looking , i get alot of force close exceptions with Tattoo--1.67.1100.7--system and DarkTattoo--system.sqsh

yeah they are a lot more smoother than hero builds (as far as i think), but a lot less functional.
i wish someone would work on a stable, functional release, *cough* zen *cough* .... unless i'm slow and can't find one out there.
but for now i'll live with Tattoo 1.67.1100.7. even though i dont have any contacts or marketplace .. but hey i can live with it
I tried using a the tattoo build but it kept force closing on me every couple of seconds, but honestly Zens donut is smooth as butter so i dont feel like trying anything else
idk what build im using now, but i found a hero build over at android on htc under the kaiser builds, and its wicked smooth, like ion smooth.
here's the link.
thanks ill give it a whirl and report back

Noob question. Is it safe/possible to use kaiser build on vogue ? I tried one and it was stuck on the HTC screen during initial boot.

which is the most stable for everyday use right now? also what happened to this tattoo build for us on qvga, i don't see it anywhere?
If you want something truly stable and fast, use the standard Ion build. Other than that, most of the Ion/Cupcake builds are very good for use. Such as the xRom builds or something like that.
The tatoo/hero/pulse/etc. builds are in the works and are not really stable. The ones which are "stable" usually run kind of slow on our hardware. Even though they are definitely cool and look awesome. They aren't really practical for everyday use imo.

I'm using the motor build at 240 x 320 & 110 lcd density... very nice. A few hiccups but this looks like my fav build so far. Once you get to homescreen let it settle down for a bit and it works well. Gps, native camera.... need to figure out how to fine-tune this puppy
none of these builds are functional enough for me to use everyday, im soo disappointed. that and now i can't buy the hero until next year because of $$ issues. im stuck with the damn vogue and winmo hell.
edit: i also didn't mean any disrespect to any of the devs on here either, you guys have done a great job. it's just been a bad day for me and i can never get any of these builds to run right on my vogue like some of you do.

I've been using xROM 1.5 for about 2 months with no issues what so ever. Why is it not functional enough for you to use? Everything works except bluetooth.

Any of the Ion builds are great for use everyday. All you lack is bluetooth and MMS but Android makes up for that with its other benefits. Ion is perfectly stable and fast.
right now im running zens xrom and it seems to be pretty stable soo far. ill give it a go this weekend.
couple questions.... can we take a screenshot at all yet? also is there a way to remove the clock from the taskbar? i find it stupid to have a clock on the taskbar and then a clock widget on the home screen.

I would recommend using SPB Mobile shell 3.1 or 3.5 and then adding the Revolution theme. It's a rip off of the Hero UI and SPB Mobile shell is the MOST stable Today plugin that I have used to date.
They made it over in France so use this link to translate for you.
Sence le Revolution
You have root access through su. And to take a pic you can use the debugger in the sdk.
And hero runs sense ui just fine so no need to fake it.
woke up this morning and my data connection went down in xrom. i had to reset the modem. what would cause this? this is one reason ive not been successful in using android for very long.

edit: i just read users of the real hero are having the same issues with data connection on top of a ton of other major issues. i think ill hold off buying the hero until a fix comes out. sprint cannot afford another failure at this point.
i think you need to just use windows mobile my friend. i've seen you bash and complain about this project enought times even on ppcgeeks. you never provide any usefull info besides what doesnt work. i use nfsfans latest winmo rom it's real nice but not prefect but i dont go creating my own thread just to complain about it

i didn't bash any devs on here, im having issues and im posting them, just like everyone else. i like android/hero but in my experience soo far i cannot find a build that is near functional for everyday uses. im going to buy a hero and pray it is more functional but ive been hearing owners say it has alot of issues as well. my vogues on its last leg and i need to upgrade. im running nfsfans rom and while its good, i hate winmo like most of you do.

What about the ion build? That's every day usable in my eyes. And I've had problems with Windows mobile locking up and missing calls even on a stock Rom/radio...but to me I see more complaints from you than anyone else. I know things aren't prefect but users of other HTC windows phones would love to be able to run android as well as vogue/kaiser.
Ok guys this is what I want in a ROM.
Android 2.1
5MP Camera
WIFI Working
GPS Working
Live Wallpapers
Any suggestions on what ROM offers what I want?
I'm looking for something similar, but I'm not sure it exists at a reasonable enough speed yet.

Speed aint an issue atm. What ROM you got?
For I all those features I'd suggest;
VillainRom5 or VillainRom4
(the gps is a bit buggy though and you'll have to turn off sense.)
If you can give up the live wallpapers then I'd suggest HeroDroid;
It is by far the most stable and quickest rom I've used so far.
You should probably get a rom without sense as the live wallpapers and sense interfear with each othe but I haven't used any without sense so I can't suggest any.
Sorry I can't link to the Roms threads but I keep getting an error, you'll have to search for them.

I went back to the vanilla 1.5 rom the other day - I can't remember what ROM it was I was using, but I stopped using it because I couldn't use Wikitude/Layar/Streetview/etc without them force closing. I think it might have been beHero or something.
I'll give VillainRom4/5 and HeroDroid a try though. Thanks Rptynan and johnny

No Problem, But I will say right now the VillainRoms are in beta so HeroDroid is far more stable. You should try them though they're fun to play around with.
Btw, I think beHero has stopped developement.
The VillainRom might be in beta but it's pretty much perfect for me from what I can see. Thanks again dude
thanks Ive tried eclair rom but live wallpapers dont work it keeps changing back to normal wallpaper ill try he villian rom thanks for the tip. The behero rom kept rebooting on me so ill give that a miss but the herodroid ill try that to.

I Haven't properly tried the facebook app yet, all I've done so far is logged in on it but it seems perfect. Ask on the HeroDroid thread if you want (link in my sig) but it seems perfect on mine.
Edit: The widget for facebook is working on mine, just checked.
NeOROM
Try out my latest ROM in my sig, I have included the necessary libs for LiveWallpapers in the latest version, so it's easy enough to get LiveWallpapers going.
Everything works pretty well, and it's nice and clean.
Hi,
I wanted to have a look at android, but there are so many out there. Which ones are most current and are most complete?
Cheers!
I'm using darkstone HD2 froyo v2.1...everything is working except the hotspots feature...they are all pretty stable...check out Gamesquare.co

You'll have to try them and eventually decide for yourself. That's far better than going by someone else's recommendation.

Thanks!
Yeah, my question (or my intention, rather) was on which are more stable
they are all different for different people. shubcraft 1.5 works for me. may not work for you.
yeah you have the ones with HTC sence, and ones with out,
im using Froyostone at the sec, working very well for me
Yup...I went for the first recommendation - without sense. Looks pretty good, but not for daily use yet
Thanks!
Try hyperdroid. I use it as my daily and have no problems.

Just go for the most recently dated build and work from there.
I can also suggest Bangsters 1.2a as it's Vanilla 2.2 and is pretty responsive and relatively bug free. But like said the easiest if no the most convenient way is to try them all, no build is perfect and each has it's own defects but from what I have seen it can range from user to user.

Yup I would agree here. Even tho my DarkStone build is not one of the newer builds, it runs great, for me at least. I've tried a number of the other builds, but haven't found a real reason for changing from what I've got going. Updating the kernel on a regular basis keeps this build going strong.
Another conditional might be which ones work with HTC Sync. This is an absolute requirement for me personally. I've only tested a few Android builds, but so far only MattC's build works with Sync for me.
Yes I'm a total noob when it comes to this.... And I really don't want to brick my phone, which is the most fully featered 2.2 Version without sense for the HD2. And can somebody please send my an idots guide. PLease PM me deatils. I mean I've done WinMo Phones but nothing like this. Thanks for the Help.
Hey guys, I just want to know a majority vote at which Android ROM is the best as I have my Leo but I'm really wanting Android running on it. I tried Froyo 2.1 but very quickly changed to Android Energy ROM but while running it the ROM had crashed and wouldn't load again after reboot. Is there any ROM out there which is the most stable.
Please any information will help me. I REALLY WANT ANDROID!!! haha

I have tried a few roms and have found Hyperdroid 1.6 to be the most stable, to be honest in the 2 weeks ive been using it the phone has lagged only once or twice, all item seem to work well, and it fits the screen really well as the theme/system has been edited. I would recomend it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769026
unfortunately this seems to be very phone dependent..
some builds work great on my phone, some crash a lot.
kinda have to try them out and pick what one you like best..
plus many of the differences between most of the builds are themes and kernels.
pick what looks good to you.

Best ROM would be the ones that works best for you. NO PUN intended. I have 2 HD2's same firmware, same everything, one loves Bangster one loves Mdeejay.. WHY? No idea.. so best ROM would be the one that works best for you
hi, i tried several rom and i like the mattc leo 1.6 and 1.8 (working fine) and also Froyostone V2. for the moment i tried froyoStone v3.1, fine too.
i am just wanting to know if anyone knows a really good rom for my htc hd2(tmobile) i have tried quite a lot of them but still not to impressed by them? please helpa
Avoid asking about the best if you can. As for a ROM you may like try AmeriCanAndroid. It's a CM7 port that Copenhagen and I work on. I'm a TMo person too btw.

If you are looking for the most stable and fast rom, try tytung Gingerbread v2.9. Many will tell you that it is simply the best andriod rom out there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060
This is kinda like asking what do you prefer crunchy or creamy peanut butter...your bound to get many different responces. lol.
Check out this site. It lists almost all the nand android ROMs found here on XDA in a place thats much easier to find it.
AmeriCanAndroid is a great ROM and its updated often so thats always a good starting point. if your one that prefers HTC sense then maybe try out RAFDROID HD. i've personally found this ROM very fast and stable. If you like more of a iphone type feel then try a miui ROM out. i would suggest LADY MIUI or D4RK MIUI.
There really is no one best ROM, i think anyway. This is because everyone has their phone set up slightly different and also want different things on their cell. just try out a few ROMs intill you find something you want to stick with for a little bit of time and see how it goes. It took me several months to settle on a ROM because i always wanted to flash every new ROM that came out. lol.
I tried Miui, Sense and cynogen based roms; Miui has the best home applications like the camera app, phone app, etc. The fastest (real difference), with lots of tweaks and the best baterry for me is Dorimanx High end rom, although some of his builds are not stable because he is always updating his rom. Im using dorimanx rom right now, although im waiting to see if Hyperdroid is updated wich is another excellent rom.
Hello,
I tried BoyPPC ROMs and it's quite fast, stable and regularly updated so it seems well followed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1199917
But I agree with previous comments that it depends on your configuration and your needs. each one has pros and cons and you should just test the one that best fits to your needs.
Since Feb I'm using AmeriCanAndroid (well, cope's sd rom at that time, before he and warrenb started together AmeriCanAndroid). Haven't changed to anything else since then. Have switched to the nand version since 2-3 weeks and I'm happy with it.
Pyramid
I tested many Roms.
Because I like that HTC stuff, I searched a long time for a stable Sense 3 ROM.
This ROM is amazing and works verry well and smooth:
Pyramid HTC WWE 1.35.401.1 - Real 3D [V2.2][RAF 1.9GB]
Iv been trying to get that one for awhile but is not working

Just be careful, flashing too many rom and too often may lead to bad blocks on your phone. Have fun and good luck.
