New questions

I read and searched a lot on the forum before posting this.
1/ Why is there 1000 methods to flash a ROM?
2/ Do I need to do a partition in all cases?
3/ Is there a ROM for 32A that adds multi touch to my device?
4/ Might be a lot to ask but why is there no PROPER tutorial on how to install a ROM?
5/ Can I brick my phone?
Thanks for your time.

This is not a development question. This belongs in the Q&A section. Read the stickies. From those stickies, you would also see a Hacking Wiki for the sapphire.
Read that.

I have found out using the forums that 32A do not support multitouch.

I use MyHero 1.1.3 (32A with BFS 303 kernel) and multitouch DOES work. But it needs to be supported by the software, works great in the browser for example.

Ok good to know, i was not quite sure about it

Erm .. there's only one way to flash a rom ..
- Download rom and copy it to the sd card root folder
- Boot into recovery
- Do a nandroid backup
- wipe
- Flash the new rom
- reboot

Look at the link in my signature, has all the detail an Android newbie needs.
Also check the Sapphire hacking wiki as bcrook mentioned above.
And use the forum search button!

Thats what I was thinking too
and my fav question out of the list:
Can I brick my phone?
Let me answer this one... from your list of questions I find it hard to believe you even know what "brick" means (no offense) but you should NOT even attempt to change anything about your phone except for whats in the menu>settings>sounds/display area
and I'll say it again no offense but people like this that have no idea what their doing is why the companies are so against us gaining root access because yeah theres some of us that understand what we are doing and the concept of linux but then you have these people that have NO CLUE then screw their phones up and guess who they call... not the dev, but the company crying about how they need a new phone...
Bottom line is if you dont know what you doing, DONT DO IT!

First, wrong section. Moving to General.
Second, you need to follow rule #1 of the forums before starting a new post.

if you can't understand it, then it is still too early for you to port android

just use some toolkit
link to my toolkit
so if you dont like this, try the other one

You need to go read the guides, If you cant follow them you should sell your HD2 and get a native Android phone.

u must understand before proceed porting otherwise it will break
to understand is by to reading it, so please READ

dude, stop spreading wrong info.. we had dream's donut running on leo initially (android 1.6), although good luck digging that thread and finding the downloads since most sites deleted their files after megaupload got busted.

can you post the thread link here? I can't seem to find it after look through the earliest threads. the filename would also be a good reference.

Can you post the link to the theret.
Thanks

If i had that much time to waste and go through hundreds of pages, i would have posted the link instead of letting you know it exists. infact, there were even ports of sense on android 1.6 from htc tattoo.
However those builds are badly broken and cannot be recommended for usage, besides the fact you have less than 1% chance to find the download link working.

Hello I have a question too ...why on earth you want Android 1.6 Rom ?? when we have ICS with HWA running on HD2 ???

Maybe he wants to learn about the History of Android Development on the HD2
need search through the winmo threads for the sdcard images maybe ask if the op still has them lol

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578575&page=50 this is where i got to, and i just lost hope, but its fun looking at the history of the HD2, i've just looked at a LOT of threads, funny to see how the HD2 have evolved from a WM device to a super nice multibooting device
