[Q] Noob question - which android build is best? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Ive just recently found out that Android 2.2 is available for the HD2 and Ive been keen on carrying out the conversion. Did a bit of research but there are no specific articles/threads about which build is best. Im hoping some of the more seasonsed users can help me out here.
Thanks in advance.

try them all and choose the one that suits you,
please don't start threads like this no one likes this type of threads.
a mod will most like endup closing you're thread.
don't men to be an ass or anything.

I Like Mattc 1.5b. I will try 1.7 version now.

Yeah before this gets closed a word to the wise, there are thousands of people that are on this board and they each will have their own opinion so asking this type of question will not lead anywhere. As stated the only way to really see is to try them all, that's the beauty of it, if you don't like it just delete from your sdcard.
And my personal fave is Froyostone V1, but again that's just my opinion

[Q] Stable Android Build till now?

With a post like that ^ perhaps it is you who has the baby's brain not the OP.
Sound familiar hoss?
With double standards like that you should join the police force
To the OP...This should be posted in HD2 android general but for what its worth, I have found Mattc's build to all be very stable indeed.
I am now using the hyperdroid v1 and its superb but I do get the odd FC on acore.process every now and then.... not as stable as mattc for me.
Every build I have tested has been with the radio nd WM rom in my sig.

I understand answering the question...but should it be?? I dont think so. Advise the OP to post in the correct section, then answer all day long. Answering in this section of the forums is saying dont ask here but we will answer anyways. Shouldnt be an answer in the wrong section I think..
Its hard because of course people want to help others with something they have learned, but in the wrong section only promotes further questions.
mods must controle all this the , wrong threads are incresing faster than development , i really can't find what i wand in development forum with all this useless threads

they try believe me they do but it i s so many new people just joining for androind on hd2 in a couple of weeks they will all disappear
best working for me is:
[BUILD][2.9.2010] [HtcClay's SuperHD2 V1.1]_[Kernel jongkorendijk #106]
See my sig. the magic combo.
Try it, you´ll be suprised
i dont really think this can be answered properly as there are people having great success with such and such a build yet others have nothing but trouble with things.
as with windows mobile, its best just trying different builds and see which one works for you.
I use shrubcraft 1.5 which for me is for the most part stable. there are some annoying bugs, but im so fed up having to sift through tons of irrelevant posts to find usefull info im not changing it.
bugs i have are, PPP becomes buggy when on the move, usually when signal is lost or it has to reconnect like if yoiu go from hsdpa to 3g. it might just not be able to connect which airplane mode fixes (doesnt happen all the time, though i noticed there are a few spots on my bus route home that it does happen)
ive had a fe instances where coming out of stand bye has been problematic, the backline comes on but no screen (not a SOD as it will come back, just wake it up again)
I did have my screen go whitish today which has happened before. not complelty white, can still see everything, but the colour was gone, and it was all shades of white.
USB tether in some builds either doesnt work, or isnt reliable, same with wifi/
To sum up, i dont think there is a build that doesnt have something wrong with it. but there are atleast a few that are complelty usuable on a regular basis.

I dont understand why you guys just blame the beginners, Ofcourse you are advanced users! Just cant you just reply for a while in positive instead of writing tons of lines in negative opinion
Atleast Can any one tell me, On which build USB tethering works properly?

What part you did not understand of this help? Instead of giving you answer my friend I just told you how to search forums - since you said above you are beginner maybe you should start learning to read what is written...
Builds posted so far are very different on what people prefer the best - that's why what works for me it may not work for you... simple...
And to start "helping" you - I use as you can see in my signature FroyoStone Series V1 and I have been pleased since I installed AutoKiller because it really makes Android use my battery lot more sufficiently - overall less drain
Your absolutely correct, Earlier I did all my search on this, And I used all the builds released till now right from July 28th froyostone's build. But may be my Radio fault or my mobile fault, No version is stable on my phone. Even for a single day constantly.
I prefer for internet usage.
The RMNet version is too slow for internet but it can helpful, and the PPP version on any build is faster but not stable.
Thats why I am asking you guys opinion.
Sorry I am irritating you people

You are not irritating me - it would be nice if you wrote little bit more detailed question stating all this. I have seen threads where people do recommend flashing radio into 2.10.xxxx since it works nice with some builds - however, I recommend that you search and get real detailed info on that matter - as I am not sure what build they referred to.
what radio rom you got?
PS Int he meantime read this as it may answer your question:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732380
I have used all the radio versions from 2.07.50 to 2.12.50.02
BUt I found some thing new in search, 2.12.50.20.
Is this really exist?

[Q] Find me to get a custom Rom that is alike to the Stock ROM

hello guys.... i need some help i hope someone could help me...
im looking for a Custom ROM or any ROM that is compatible with ANDROID ROMS
what i want to me... I like the STock ROM 3.14 of HTC HD2...( the only thing i would change is the size of the Quick Links) i would put 4 Quick Links instead of 3)
I like the Desire Custom ROM but i tried to download it and the download link doesnt WOrk
i would like to get a custom ROM or any ROM that i can use my Mdeejay Evo matted on it without problems....
any HELP PLease Thanks!!
If there's one thing I've learned is that stuff is rarely handed to you around here. The rest of us have worked to get what we want; meaning read and figure it out on your own. The first few posts of each ROM thread will inform you of what the cook has done and you can figure out from there if it fits your needs.
...Wow. You do realize that the stock 3.14 ROM does work with the majority of Android distros, and that by installing CoOkies Home Tab you can increase the number of links to however many you want....right?
So i can use the stock ROM 3.14 with my Mdeejay Evo Matted Android?
if So, How can i Increase the number of quick links in my Stock ROM?
sorry if i am very noob but i just get my htc hd2 2 days ago xD
Rom 3.14 works like a charm with matc 1.8..... People who ask about the best rom for s\andriod, i''ll suggest them rom 3.14 with mattc1.8 android best combination

Wow...you were once a noob as well seeking help and every now and then it would be nice to get a helping hand on here. Sometimes it would be great to just meet someone to take them under their wing and help them...dont really feel as if that would be to much to ask.
See the thing is though, most of the time people troll the forums as un-registered people, find something they like/want, try to download and find that they have to be registered to do so, join...download what they wanted without reading instructions and whatnot, then come and complain or ask for a handout without so much as looking at the stickies. It's not that we don't like n00bs at XDA, quite the contrary, without new blood XDA would die off, it's that people that come and expect to be spoon fed information is something that I for one cannot stand. There is a wealth of information if you just look for it.

Best Sense UI Build for HD2

I recently was looking around the forum and saw the same type of question in a Poll about what was the best NON Sense ROM for the HD2. There was some great comments in there and really helped me sort through some of the better ones to run. I wanna hear the same for Sense UI.
Question: What is the best Sense UI Build/Rom for the HD2? Preferably running FroYo of course. We love our Deserts.
I'd love to see everyone's thoughts or input as to what is best, most stable & most feature complete. Just whatever. Please post what's worked best for you.. Thanks!
i would say the most fastest cleanest and most stable clean froyo sense build would have to go to MDJ FroYo Sense Clean v. 2.3.
check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780525
My favourite is mattc 1.8 w/ sense. It's a little older but with hastarin 8.2 without UVOC it works so smooth and stable.

I can answer you for the worst threads. I don't like these polls, all builds take a lot of time to make and deserve to be tested.
Mdeejay_eVo_Sense_v._2.3Revolution
i think this one is perfect with hastarin 7.7 and mms patch, pretty similar but with the widescreen photo option (zoom doesn't work) battery only last's about 6 hours of hard use but that's the price yo pay for a super phone.
Yeah btw, I made a thread just like this about best ROMs in the ROM section of the forum.
It got closed down by a mod and I got a PM saying threads asking which ROM is better are not allowed on the forum.
It's really weird I know. :S Surely they'd want threads like this to educate newbies and encourage friendly competition.
It's only to look for opinions and suggestions on what people thinks the best. Doesn't mean some peoples ROM's aren't good. I appreciate anyone's work. But some have things others don't. What works for one might not work for others, but in general we all want a smooth and running system. So this was just a in general question.
I didn't post the other one. Someone else posted that Poll. This was just looking for opinions and thoughts. His was an actual Poll with votes..
Thanks for the input so far guys. I'm still trying to decide what sense rom I'll load first. I've always loved Vanilla and never used Sense. And that is also why I think this question is a "ok" one to ask.
the reason these sorts of threads get closed occasionally is because whatever people answer is their own opinion, nothing can be based on fact. You may like one build that another person dislikes, and most users see threads such as these as pointless.
Last sense build I used was mdeejays desire hd build which has been discontinued now

Tell us something about your phone.
What ROM / Radio you have on your phone?
(go to settings / about phone / software info...)
Then you have to choose a build. If you have time it is better to try several and choose the one you are most comfortable in. I tried 5-6 builds so far and yesterday I installed latest JDMS build and am very happy with it. It is not that fancy looking like Desire HD builds but it is very much faster and for me so far everything works.
As kokfann said it is best to do some research on forums and get a little better picture, but if you are stuck in something let us know. I came to this forum several months ago and I understand how much stressful can be searching the best solution on so much information here. And as I see often lots of people here are just waiting for a newbie to ask some basic question just to flame him horribly. Do some search and ask if you need something.
Start by reading (at least first several pages):

[Q] Best ROM so far?

I have rooted my HD2 acouple of times now I just want your opinnion on what is the best ROM that has worked for you. Also the first time I rooted it I got a 4g or H signal, so please let me know if that ROM will be 4g or H.
Thank you.
I've been using this rom for many awhile now...no problems!

What's the best car in the world?
Whats the best movie in the world?
And best of all, .. whats the "best" color in the world?
Answer: NONE because its subjective, What is "best" for you is not necessarily "best" for me. Please stop asking silly questions. If this is your kind of topic go read one of the other eleventy million topics by people who have asked this question.
Btw, you havent "rooted" your HD2, You have simply installed a different rom. The roms already come with root access.
Like the other poster said, the best ROM will be based on what you want. I have seen people on this forum rave about their ROM but unfortunately wouldn't work on my phone. I have my Froyo and Gingerbread favorites that work really well on my phone but may or may not work for you. By the way, our HD2 phones do not support 4G but H that you see on your phone which is equivalent to 3.5G.
as mentioned above, what works for one user may not necessarily work for you. i was previously using mdj's froyo rom. i just recently started using americandroid and it works fantastic for me. so what's the best rom around? i reckon you should try out the roms and from there you can decide which one suits you best. cheers
I am sticking with official Miui for now

I think this is a VERY valid question! The Android development for HD2 is really fascinating and all developers work is very very productive! So a BIG thanks to all the developers here!!!
Unfortunately this productivity has so many threads that it is almost impossible to follow all and the streams inside are definitely confusing! Nobody can follow them all or foresee the impact of a installation of a single ROM compared to an other ROM! Installing many ROMs and trying them takes ages and when you're through, almost each version has new major or minor version developments and could start from the beginning again!
So if you ask me: We in the forum should take such request serious because they show orientation is hard here! And we really should share experiences with ROMs exactly here since this is a sticky.
My opinion on the best ROM: You first have to decide whether you
a) need operational business strength Sync: If so you should go for a Sense ROM. You Sync with HTC Sync and it is great. I like LeoRCMix Rom is here best.
If you like speed : use 1.6 - if you like 3D effect but accept it to be a little bit slower - use 1.9
But: So far all Sense-like ROMs have issues with graphical errors (glitches) - they show horizontal black lines ...
b) you need/like full android reaction speed: CyanogenMod or CoreDroid are great. But you have to sync outlook with MyPhoneExplorer which causes sometimes problems!
c) you want speed and Sense-like GUI (but need no HTC Sync): Then use a MIUI ROM - i have no experience here ...
Cheers!

Ask any of the experienced developers and people here and they will you the same thing.. TRY IT OUT YOUR SELF!
Simple as that. Roms that run smooth for me or someone else might not run smooth for you.
1.7.1 JW MIUI is the best
I vote for cmylxgo's Stock DHD 1.1.18

You dont have to follow them all, Once you have spent some time trying some you tend to know what kind of builds you wish to follow or not.

This is not a sticky??
Also WE DO share, There is a billion of these topics already we dont need to have a new one every day, just go read teh others instead of making your own and getting same answers, All it does is piss people off as it clogs up the forum.
The only reason why these topics get created is because the posters are too lazy to spend some time researching, trying or simply reading. Also if they really wanted to discuss a topic like this they could just go and read one of the other ones that discuss this EXACT subject instead of creating a clone and making browsing such a annoyance for those who actually go and read.
As I have looked through this thread I have noticed that everyone has had there own preference on Roms. I personally am a fan of sense 3.0 Roms even though they are buggy. My current Rom is AD Kingdom Sense 3.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112810
HyperDroid CM7 2.1 everything works flawlessly
instead of wasting your time explaining on each thread that gets made "BEST ROM" ignore the thread as they will never stop asking the same questions, yes you lot are correct with the "WHAT WORKS FOR ME, MAY NOT FOR YOU" but don't use get tired of messaging them the same answers, just ignore the thread and let them enjoy telling each other what rom is best. NO HARM DONE
For me BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA GINGER 2.3.4 CM7 Sense.s is the ROM I've been using for sevral weeks. Runs really smooth and very very fast without any bugs!!!
