the guide is a simplified step by step approach
for People on Stock ROM
a. you need to put HSPL on your device
b. A compatible Winmo ROM and Radio
below is a guide on how to achieve this
HSPL is a prerequisite before everything else (Latest version recommended) – video guide here
chose your Android build to download (I know there are plenty of them)
share us your experience with them, different builds have different behaviours
pros and cons.
1. Chose your Android Friendly Custom Winmo ROM and Radio
(preferably the one recommended by the Android Builder)
Video guide for Custom ROM flashing
Video Guide for Radio ROM Flashing
(I prefer the latest 2.15 Radio, most Android Builders recommends
this as well, completely eliminates Robot Voice during calls
2. format at least a 4GB sd card (full format fat32)
(I suggest you use a separate sd card when its your first time testing Android)
3. in the root - create a folder named Android. Place all the unzipped files of the build you've chosen here.
(note some build when unzipped will reveal a folder “Android” - just copy this to the root directory of the sd card instead)
4. with device OFF, insert SDCard
5. boot winmo, disable screen brightness - then go to File Explorer - Storage Card
6. click CLRCAD first (nothing will happen visibly - but it will fix robot like voice while on calls)
5. click/run haret
note with step 5 and 6 (there are plenty of dual bootloaders out
there but i prefer to boot android manually as I THINK, this is the best problem free method
if you want a more complex and detailed guide, look here
also look at my signature
Update: a lot of people has reported being able to run Android without HSPL
so long as they have the Stock 3.14 ROM on their device, I have tested this myself.
needs a bit of attention, any newbie android testers. try this simplified guide.
Custom ROMs and flashing your phone with HSPL is NOT REQUIRED!!!
I have T-Mobile US HD2, Stock ROM/Radio - un-formatted SD card (stock 16GB) - and my Android Froyo works just fine!!!
Therefore, I am not sure of how much of this first half of the Guide is actually going to be used.

Same here, latest stock TMOUS official rom, and running andriod fine from the stock card. Get g-sensor lockups here & there, and robot voice incomming and echo outgoing on calls on Hyperdriod rom, but not on others.
Just DL andriod rom of choice, extract to sd card, and run - see how it works for ya.
Mod Warning
Chaps,
Can we calm it down and post on topic please. Some of you are in breach of the XDA rulebook and I would hate to have to act on it.
Appreciate your cooperation here.

Yes, I did it and running Android without any problems. My HD2 T-MobileUS has the following:
R 2.08.50.08.2
G 15.34.50.070
D 2.10.82076.8G
I did not change anything above and left it as it was when I bought the phone.
I DnLd Android 2.2 en-us Nexus One Build/FRG33 to my SD Card.
I am very pleased with it and really like it as it does seem faster, has many more apps from the Android Store (than WM apps I have found over the years searching the Web) and many are Free. Those that are not free are cheaper than the WM versions.
I did have to transfer my Addresses, Calendar and set up other minor things, no problems.
I am using Android more now than WM. Some of the things that I do not like about Android:
1. Must Power Off and then Power On to get back to WM OS. Whereas going from WM to Android I have an Icon Link. Very time consuming. I tried the Dual boots and still can't get them to work.
2. I would like to uninstall News and Weather but cannot find where it is at as it does not showup when I use AppMonster Pro.
I tried to uninstall AmazonMP3 but it still comes back?
I have uninstalled OpenGlDemos, Abduction, and a few more.
I have tried TaskKill apps and Startup Auditor (Startup Disable and Keep Disabled) and they don't seem to do anything to prevent apps from restarting.
Some of the things I really like about Android:
1. Speed
2. Apps Store (Free Apps) so many (not as many as iTunes but most of what I want and need in a very clean display/format like a lot of Apple apps.)
3. Voice that I use instead of keying in Texting
4. So many more options to customize.
Hope this helps others who are thinking of DnL this OS.

1. just like in windows, apps are always runnin in the background. dont believe me? (cntrl+alt+delete). just because u press 'X' doesnt mean it goes away. android simply got rid of the 'X' cus its not needed. pressing the 'X' is almost like pressing the home button on android.
2. its still in development stage so its gonna take a while longer to get a NAND version of android and then u can boot into winmo with an icon. but i have tested mines with autoboot and it loads in exactly 45 secs from winmo with chuckydroid rom. since ur on the stock rom, its slower.
3. and are u sure ur stock rom is performing okay? no robot voice? alien voice on the other end for the caller? all the features work? gps? bluetooth? etc?
I'm running android on stock tmous pretty well. I do have occasional sleep of death.
I just tried YouTube app and the videos are kind of distorted, dunno if it's cuz of me.

this is a very interesting note, as i have the EU version and just could not run
Android on stock rom WITHOUT HSPL. I have read other US HD2 owners reporting as well.

Yes, I know that WM does not kill all apps when you press 'X'. However, I could kill them and know they were killed.
3. Yes, my stock rom is performing OK. I expected some problems, but have not found any except what I posted. Phone calls, voice, BT all work great.
Thanks for your input.

Again, for your peace of mind, I have a stock rom and I have not put HSPL on my HD2. So, believe me or not. I don't need to lie about something like this. I posted just to let others know that it did work on my STOCK TMOUS HD2.
Hspl is needed only to flash a new radio. It's has been agreed that radios from 2.10 - 2.14 were acceptable radios for Android.
Some stock tmous hd2's come with radio 2.10 already meaning u don't need a radio flash. I'm not sure how u are running on radio 2.08 but more power to u if u are. I'm sure ur running on radio 2.10 not 2.08 tho..........
U might want to make sure that radio isn't draining your battery or whether your getting a robot voice on the caller end of your phone calls.

I have been using Android for about a month now and use my phone, messaging, internet, etc., with no problems. The only problem which I fully understand is the battery drain which I can live with.
My HD2 T-MobileUS has the following:
R 2.08.50.08.2
G 15.34.50.070
D 2.10.82076.8G
I did not change anything above and left it as it was when I bought the phone. I have found over the years flashing my MDA, Wing, Omnia I900 and Jailbreaking my Iphone 3G that sometimes it is not worth changing anything unless you are having problems. Thus, I no longer change stock roms.
Yes, I do still use my Iphone 3G with 3.0.1 and my Omnia. However, the HD2 with Android is far better than any phone with WM for many reasons.
I am very pleased with it and really like it as it does seem faster, has many more apps from the Android Store (than WM apps I have found over the years searching the Web) and many are Free. Those that are not free are cheaper than the WM versions.
I did have to transfer my Addresses, Calendar and set up other minor things, no problems.
Some of the things that I do not like about Android:
1. Must Power Off and then Power On to get back to WM OS. Whereas going from WM to Android I have an Icon Link. I tried the Dual boots and still can't get them to work. Now I use ReBoot and it does shut down and restart in WM. No problem for me as I live with it.
2. I would like to uninstall News and Weather but cannot find where it is at as it does not showup when I use AppMonster Pro.
3. I don't like the way 3D Gallery brings up all phots, Icons, etc. I have tried StudioKUMA .nomedia Manager and .NoMedia that tagged my folders, which I did so individually, and caused me to disable my ringtones.
I tried to uninstall AmazonMP3 but it still comes back?
I have uninstalled OpenGlDemos, Abduction, and a few more.
I have tried TaskKill apps and Startup Auditor (Startup Disable and Keep Disabled) and they don't seem to do anything to prevent apps from restarting. I am trying Startup Manager, too.

if you meant the Sense integration of news and weather, i doubt if you can uninstall this
but you can disable this by selecting it not to sync in settings
For the record, I tried many different builds with stock TMOUS ROM and Radio, and I would always get SODs within a few days. Finally changed Radio and ROM and I have been trying every build out there with only a few problems.
An interesting point to consider is that some people have problems with particular builds whereas others don't. For example, the most stable build I've tried is Sergio76's Coredroid, but other people have complained that it's very buggy. For some reason this may be similar to why some people can run Android on stock ROM and Radio, but others can't? Just a thought.

this is the main reason, there is no particular best build to recommend, as there are
too many variables to consider, as with the TMOB US brand HD2, many have even confirmed
that they dont need hspl to run Android. another thing is the Radio, which
also plays a huge role.
so my new untouched htc hd2 is coming on wed, so i can just put an android build on my sd card and run android without the hspl thing or a custom rom?? is this correct??

at least dats wat dat guy says. id still reccomend you do the method the rest of us do but its your choice.
Hi all,
Last night, out of the blue, every time I tried to download an app from the Marketplace I got the error "process com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly" and a force close. I have no idea what would have caused this as everything was working fine up until last night, I can't think of any strange updates or anything.
Anyway, after some Googling I cleared the market cache and data as recommended but now I can't even open the Market app at all - well it opens, but force closes straight off the bat (I see the Android TOS in the background). I now get the process com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly error on boot and whenever launching the market.
I've attempted to install a newer market.apk (current one is 1.82) but Android won't allow me.
The only other recommendations people have given on here to those experiencing this issue on dedicated Droid handsets is to either do a full format/install or to flash something via recovery (doesn't look like I can do this on my SD build)
A couple of months ago I was getting force closes on the calender app and someone sent me a droid.zip file which had a fsck.exe inside it which allowed me to repair my data.img which in turn fixed the problem. I've formatted my PC since than and lost the files and can't find them via Google, at least not one that'll run under Windows command prompt with "fsck.exe data.img" after placing the data.img in the same directory. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or better still provide an alternative method for fixing this issue?
Using Darkstone's SuperRAM 1.5 Froyo build.
Many thanks!!
maybe you should try an other android rom ?
The best and quickest way to fix this is to use market.app from same build what u got.
So its mean u need to extract this particular app from the ROM and copy it to the /system/app
Or if u dont know how to extract it just ask in your ROM thread so someone whos know how to extract it and than can post it for download.

Not really an option - The build I use is the most stable and one of the most widely used here on XDA (outside the Nand forum) and has been nigh-on perfect up until now (in daily use since before Christmas). I can't replicate how and why this happened so there's just as much chance of it happening on another ROM. Google suggests it's a common problem with the fix (for non rooted/savvy) people to factory reset their devices.
There's got to be a better way and I'm sure the crew here will find it!

Thanks - I'll look into doing it now. I've had no luck installing various Market apks though (with the default market disabled / cleared, etc.) so I'm unsure of the results!

This should help cos if u do it this way u actually not installing/reinstalling the app. u actually repleace the sys market.app for the original one from the ROM. So there is no way it will not work again if it was working before after u flashed the ROM.
I'm pretty sure it will do the trick, but also I may be wrong .
I had some issue on my ROM with cam.app and this proced. helped me.
Hey,
you can try this (very simple):
1. Open terminal emulator
2. type "su" (without quotes) and hit enter
3. type "fix_permissions" (without quotes) and hit enter
4. wait until process is done and exit terminal
5. maybe reboot, but should be fine without reboot
This is a common way to fix force closes, so maybe this helps in oyur case too.
Greetz Dom
FIXED! [Edit: not]
Here's what I did.
Downloaded THIS
Extract it to C:\Droid
Boot into Win Mobile and move your data.img in \Android\ into the \Droid\ folder on your PC.
Start > Run > CMD
type "cd c:\droid" (without quotes) to get into the directory you've created.
Type "e2fsck -f data.img" (without quotes) and say 'y' (yes) to all the errors you encounter. There will be dozens. When done you'll be notified the modified data.img has been saved.
Copy the newly modified data.img from \Droid\ to \Android\ on your device.
Boot into Android - things might be a bit slower/laggy at first.
All should be well!
Edit: This fix seems to have really slowed my phone down. It takes at least 2x as long to run stable on boot (i.e. stop lagging, load all background apps etc). I've imported my previous data.img over and will be trying the fix by Dom (above).
Edit2: And I'm now getting com.android.media force closes with the modded data.img! Music app won't work. Jesus!

Hey Dom, terminal tells me "fix_permissions: not found" when I run fix_permissions. Am I missing something? (I've su'd before hand) Guess Darkstone hasn't included this script in his rom?

Did fix_permissions via the app ROM Manager and the Market force close still remains
How about getting a fresh copy of the ROM, and just keeping your data.img. It may not work, but it's surely worth a go.

Hmm, it seems that this script isn't inluded in your roms. But for you SMS92 it seems that it is another problem anyway.
If you wanna try sth. else see this:
http://all-google-android.com/google-android-forums/t-mobile-g1-modders/fix-permissions/
This is an "improved" fix permission tutorial which goes further than the command I posted above...quote from the link above: "fix_permissions is only intended for correcting ownership issues. It does not modify permissions, as is being requested."
In this post is a downloadlink for the advanced script so it doesnt matter if its already included in the rom...

It's a no-go I'm afraid.
So far the only thing that's worked is running the repairs on my 2gb data.img using e2fsck on my PC, but this in turn created a load more problems (com.process.media started force closing and the rom seemed to be much slower)
Will try some more suggestions tonight.
if your running gingerbread make sure the app is installed on the phone not the sd
I'm also suffering from this issue it started for me when an automatic update downloaded (which I didn't install) I will see if any of the above fixes work for me & if not I will start with a fresh copy of the ROM. Have to admit I have barely used winmo since I started using this build!

Hi all,
First of all thanks to all for the useful info. Been browsing this site (and modaco) for a while now. Finally got my Vega today
Apologies for the n00b question but....
Managed to sort out USB drivers (despite Win 7 x64... ) and updated to 1.09 from the official vega site. Now I'm trying to get the market working - put the OGMarket update (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931337) on my SD card and installed the google framework, market etc... and I can get the market to run, however whenever I select an app I get "force close".
Any suggestions?
Is there a better way of going about this? I have nothing useful on my vega yet so don't mind reflashing - just wanted to try and stick with 1.09 if poss.
I have noticed it seems to be an old version of the market (I have an up to date X10 mini pro with the newest market on it) but I can't figure out how to run the market updater app.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers.
When I switched to 1.09, to install the market I just used the file linked in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930267 and it worked right. It installs an older version of the market but once running it updates itself.
Brill - will give this a go.

Just updated my rom add-on. Needs to be flashed with the software tool. All is working great for me
Hiya,
Managed to get market working using method above - thanks!
Some of the Ggaps aren't there (and don't show up on market) such as calendar, maps etc... but this is definitely a step forward.
Now to go look at that rom...
Thanks again to all for the info!
I would suggest you follow the tip to enable all the apps in the market in my thread, google Maps shows fine for me. I can add more gapps to it no problem, just trying to keep the rom size down. Calendar does not show i can add that as a extra download.
Absolutely brill!
Now got google maps (and the superb mini taskbar) - as you say, no calendar on marketplace, so if you have it handy that would be great.
Otherwise - slick work!

I have had this issue, it started last night when i decided to re-flash my vega. (i have been doing lots of testing and wanted a clean system) It appears to effect all roms and builds. I tried stock v1.065, v1.08 and v1.09 also tried maodaco r8 and all resulted in the same. I ended up doing a application restore (from software tool) which resulted in market logging in, but then getting a message "No matching content in Android Market" I fixed this with market enabler. Not sure why this has happened, as it appears to effect all roms. Have to wait and see how many people this effects.
Your vega not booting is strange as you are the first to report the problem with the Gapps. Did you have sufficient battery power to apply the flash? Enter recovery and reflash the stock rom.
If anybody else is having the same issues please report, Thanks.
It is more a boot loop, the android buddy shows and that is it. I reflashed 1.09 and your pack. I will try the stock settings now. Lets see ^^
Ok it doesnt work, i guess your pack hate germans ^^
i although test to set my language and timezone to an american one (read something in an other forum) doesnt work. So now iam clueless...
Send from my Vega
Odd, I got the market working but it only had free apps. Had to set to US in language and keyboards to get the paid apps to show, but now all prices are in dollars. Must be a location thing.
Afraid I am having the same problem too actually...
I have flashed 1.09 again - system restarts ok.
Unfortunately when I add the apps pack I just get the little android symbol on the screen in a boot loop
Any ideas? Was really cool when the apps were workin tho
EDIT: My location is UK btw.. incase that's useful
EDIT 2: What I mean to say is, I add the apps pack and it loads fine, all the apps work, all is well - however, if I then power down the vega it goes into the boot-loop.

There are more and more messages and news that there is a problem with the market login. I guess it is not the user, it is the server from google.

That's a relief - I have just been re-flashing and wondered what I had done wrong when the market didn't log in!
Cheers Gman for all yer work so far. Am trying different combinations of apps in the pack to see if it is one in particular causing the problem - also, while on the topic, any chance of getting google talk in there? I have an apk that works on the vega - but I'm not sure if that's going to cause a bootloop too, so I'm leaving it off for now!

Thx man, if you need any help, testing or something, ping me.
Send from my Vega
Hmm,
I'm probably going about this back to front but...
Have installed the apps pack straight away (without the mini-taskbar etc mod) containing only:
Calendar
CalendarProvider
DeskClock
Gmail
GoogleCalendarSync
GoogleServicesFramework
Maps
NetworkLocation
Street
Updater
Youtube
Seems fine (I.E. I can restart the vega without bootloop) but I cannot "establish a reliable data connection to the server" - it would appear much of the internet is having the same problem at the mo for whatever reason!
Ofcourse this is still missing the all important market etc... and I didn't realise just how much I'd miss the mini taskbar!
Tried making "my own" update - chopping together the apks, updating the updater-script file then signing the zip.... it didn't end well.
*Flashes 1.09 again*...
I think this is a google thing. i have tried every rom/market update combination, but still unable to log into market. Restoring from a application back up from software tool, fixes the login problem but you can only see free apps unless you change the language in language and keyboard to US.
Hi guys, bit of a newbie here.
Ive seen on the site abut getting gps to work on this version and followed instructions but nothing seems to work.
It got me thinking... would an external Bluetooth GPS work instead? Just as a bit of a work around?
Many thanks for your help here

The OP may also want to check the gps.conf file to determine if it is optimized for the region. Check this thread out as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953630
I am using Tytung's Gingerbread 2.3.5 Nexus HD2 v2.9 build with both the GPS v2.0 and an optimized gps.conf file on my phone. First locks are under 10 seconds and relocks are almost immediate using the built-in Google Navigation on the phone. Without the optimized gps.conf file, first lock was around 20 seconds. Tytung's ROM is set up for the North America. If you are not in North America, then you will need to change the gps.conf file to match your region.
The build-in gps must work, but a bluetooth gps will work to.

GPS problem
Hey guys I don't want to open a new thread, so I'll just post here...
I have the same GPS problems as most people here – GPS Status and GPS Essentials are showing no satellites, 0 visible and 0 used for fix.
I’ve left the phone to search for 10min in couple of occasions and nothing.
I think I’ve tried about everything here to fix it (and this is begging to bug me majorly)...
Updated the libraries with v2.0 RPC tytungs update (before that I’ve used the AngleDeath Europe.zip patch)…
Then edited the gps.conf file
first added the eurpe.pool.ntp.org,
then tried following lines
0.europe.pool.ntp.org;
1.europe.pool.ntp.org;
…etc.
Event tried the (my) country specific server address (pulled it of from the NTP POOL PROJECT website)
rs.pool.ntp.org
Installed the xtra.bin injector
Tried it on a perfect summer day and/or night, with 3g and WIFI on… but no results…
I’m running
CyanogenMod-7-NIGHTLY-Desire[TyphooN_V3.5.7-MAGLDR]
Tytungs r11_beta2 kernel (the lock screen lag fix)
CW 3.1.0.0
Radio Leo 2.15.50.14
Any ideas?
hi, this is what ive used but i must be doing something wrong and dont understand what im doing with the files etc
Im using MDJ_GingerBread_HD2_v.1.0_RC4_RAM_MODDED SC Card version
does that make any difference?
Is anyone with this problem using one of the latest roms with agps support? I can lock on in about 20 seconds from a restart. Also is everyone on the latest magldr?
never had any problems using MDJ Gingerbread... no editing or anything else - it works perfect right from the get-go...

I think the problem is that on your build they recommend using Tytung's NMEA and not the RPC file that you tried. Try loading v2.0 NMEA by Tytung and give it a try. On some of these builds, only one of these files will work. I suspect your build is one that will need only the NMEA file to make the GPS work properly.

Yeha, I’ve noticed a after my post here that in the “update” list of the TyphooN ROM is stated that the NMEA lib is implemented in it… anyhow, re-loaded the NMEA lib… edited the .conf file again… rebooted… injected the xtra.bin … left the phone outside for like 5min to try to find any satellites… 0 hits :/
Man, this is frustrating… I would hate to have to change or re-flash the rom, I’m quite satisfied with this one… maybe I’ll switch to iOS XD

With all the changes that you did, you may have no choice but to reflash the ROM again. Then only change the gps.conf files to your region after the reflash if it is not correct for your area. Then hopefully your GPS will be working again. If after all that, and it still doesn't work, you may have to look in the GPS antenna to see if it is working.

Unfortunately, I can't see the link. Maybe you should try the quick and easy way to change your region by using FasterFix that is free on the Market. At least it will quickly change your first gps.conf file line to the correct region and hopefully get you a gps lock. I suspect that the gps.conf file you are changing may not be correct or possibly the changes you are making are not being taken and the original gps.conf file keeps staying? I don't think it is the build. I've used TyphooN in the past with my custom gps.conf file that I use with no problem.

Thnx anyway... I think I'm going to flash the win 6.5 back on... to check is my GPS receiver working... maybe it's a hardware fault, I've recently purchased it used, and flashed it to android immediately...
This is the 2.3.2 MIUI ROM
Everything in this ROM is working well, there aren't FC and the screenshots finally are working!
To have the Market working, you have to flash through CWM the latest version of the Google Apps, then, if the market isn't there, you have to manually install it
So, now enjoy your FULL WORKING MIUI ROM!
Thanks to sewa2k and akalos for the help

Hi, the screenshots are working well (it's also written in the first post =)), i haven't had any type of FC or bug, some applications are in chinese caracters, i don't know how to see if logcat works... The ROM is really fast and smooth, it seems that everything is working well
Hi, just a confirm Screenshot works also for me in 1.12.16 with terminal emulator or root explorer script, but not from notification bar (not a big problem) just weating for your review:
- about logcat just write logcat inside terminal emulator and press enter
- power buttom give 4 way reboot (normal-hot boot-bootloader-recovery)?
- what applications in chinese? (in 1.12.16 no one in chinese and it's very important for me)
- from maps, compass streetview works?
I'm testing 1.12.16 and all working fine inside this beatiful rom (no limits fps, root, busybox, sms, missing call, compass running street view, good sound)

In the SMS app all is in english, but in the favorites and recommended the phrases are in chinese (it's not so important, these are the predetermined phrases) and holding home the app manager/app killer is in chinese, but if you know that the botton to the left is the app killer and the botton to the right is the app manager you won't have problems
When you first install the rom there are 2 superuser, but when you tap on one, it opens and after a reboot there is only one and it works without problems =)

I updated from the official 512 using CWM 5.0.2.7, try this, maybe it works =)
I reinstalled it manually formatting system and it worked! I'm very impressed with this ROM, so far everything is working well and as always Miui is very elegant . I only have to test consumption, the previous ROM managed to suck only 3%/hour with 3G always on, let's see
Btw does anyone know what the Chinese apps do?? There are only 3 apps that have remained in Chinese but I don't know if I can safely remove them. One seems a clock, one a network traffic meter and one I absolutely don't know.
A last thing: the search button isn't seen as it should but it opens the camera instead. Not a big problem, but do you know if it's possible to change its behaviour?
Thanks a lot for having taken us this ROM, is a very nice addendum for the U8800pro!
