Look for this in the build.prop
ro.modversion=
Add whatever you like, and it will show in settings / about phone / mod version.
As for the image, can't help u there.

If i simply modify the build.prop file and then manually create the ext2 file by using the genext2fs command is that enough?
Yes. Its enough.

I want to install and play around with the Android ROMs that are available for HD2. I was wondering if there is a way I can make an image of my ROM as it is right now, and later on flash it back if I don't like the Android ROM on my HD2.
Save time and read the 1st and 2nd sticky posts on this page. Everything you need to know is all there. Also, I know rules are a b*tch, also explained there, make sure you follow them and avoid any incoming angry posts about not using the "search" function. To answer your question, Android runs off the memory card so windows is shut down prior to booting android, they're isolated for the most part. Hope that helps.

I know that Android runs off the SD card, but that was not my question. They recommend that a very light version of WM be installed prior to running Android and I can understand why. However, if I install the light version of WM I will loose whatever I currently have. That is why I am wondering if there a way I can create an image backup of my current ROM.
Are you running a stock rom? There's a sticky in the tmousa rom section with links to all the stock roms. It's easier to just grab a copy, you'll just need to back up your data.
Yes... I am runing a stock ROM. Any good backup apps to recomand that can backup my programs, settings and data?

I didn't change my WM ROM, it's shut down by haret. So unless you're having specific problems like that awful robovoice then you shouldn't worry about changing your rom. As for backup, I use SPB or Sprite backup, the latter my preference.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I use SPB...works the best IMO. I've actually had to use it a few times after changing the zimage...it seems to kill my sense every time I load a new zimage.
I get that bad robot voice, what to doo you recommend I switch to? I have a stock Rom right now with the latest radio.

I flashed my HD2 to the radio suggested but I still get that high pitched Robot Voice..Maybe a custom ROM is required?
How is it done? i did a search and only found the question, anyone have the answer?
how can we install .zip on HD2 as you would on recovery on a normal device?
There isn't a way yet. But u could try unzipping the folder and doing it that way.

What is it that you are trying to install
i am trying to install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759990
it is a theme and it comes on the HyperDROID ROM so i know it works on the HD2
may i ask you reedit the title [HOWTO] -> [Q]
I think we cannot do it yet with our hd2s...You can only change the theme now by installing framework.apk. but I think getting the framework.apk from that zip directly won't work either...tried that before.

You should see if the theme is metamorph capable!
metamorph?
Its an app that allows you to add themes with out flashing. The themes just have to be compatible

About 2 of them app(ereader.apk and widget.apk),as i know,the ereader.apk is a primary and most importantm,whether the widget working, it not influence on system .
About ROM,it is desire hd ROM for HD2(no offical version),android2.3.3,mix sense2.1 and sense3.0,nor pure sense2.1.i think them maybe reason.
Dear "htccraze",can you support me a good ROM,which can be running ereader correctly(if contain sense3.0 is best).thanks

Ok,thanks so nuch.i am waiting........
Im not 100% on this but you could try either this ROM or this ROM. i couldn't find much info or any at all if it had it working or it didnt. i would think though if it wasn't working they would of listed it somewhere in the thread. If you still dont have any luck trying to find a ROM then i would check out this webpage. It lists all the ROMs that are posted on XDA in a much easier way to find them. it also gives some nice (but short) info on each ROM. you can also click "show all android builds/ROMs which will give you a lot of ROMs to look through.
as always double check to make sure the ROM you flash is right for your phone.
neither of the ROMs listed above are sence 2.0 but if you want to try this ROM but im not sure if it has it working or not. again i didnt see if it was or if it wasn't. if you find the apk you could always try to place it inside system/apps to see if it would work.
oops. not sure how to fix it if you already tried but i can say that some ROMs it just wont work on even if you try that so maybe the problem is with your ROM and not how your placing it in system/apps.
So before anyone says something. I've searched the Forums a good 2-3 weeks before becoming a member to ask this question. I NEED HELP.
Okay so, I've installed the LEO Stock Desire Nand Android Rom on my HTC HD2. Only probably is that the pics sent through mms are very small in comparison to the actual files. I've figured out that I have to edit the mm_prop.conf and change it to say Nexus or N95 instead of the Bravo in order to fix it. But I just can't seem to replace the file or edit it. I've literally tried everything. Mind suggesting new alternatives? Does anyone know how to fix this? Please help. Thanks
So when you say you have been unable do you mean you can't open it and make the changes?
Sent from my HTC Runnymede using XDA App
Let me make a correction. I specified the wrong file. I meant the mm_prop.conf file. And no. I know how to open it and edit it. My question is, how do I re-write the original file that is in the /system/etc directory? Is there anyway to flash it? Because I am having trouble implementing the fix.

U only joined to ask a question -_-
By trying everything I'm assuming u used root explorer to edit the file and checked to see if u can set a user agent in the messaging app itself, haven't been on a Desire build in a while but seeing how they're highly updated I would either reflash or search the thread which u got the rom one more time because that seems like an issue ppl wouldn't ignore
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium
Haha. No, I didn't join just to ask a question. And you would think that someone would ask this question, which they have, but no one has actually found an answer. According to the forums the orginal Leo Stock Desire Nand Android ROM is the only ROM that hasn't been updated since it's release.
So in order to fix the mms problem in this ROM I must edit the file, but everytime I do, I am unable to rewrite the actual file because its permissions make it so that you can't.
Will rooting the phone, make it so that I can gain access of the ROOT files? How would I go about doing that?
And does anyone know how to flash a root system file using the install .zip option in clockwork? Because that sounds like it could solve my problem.
Not exactly sure if this will work for the rom that your using but tytung uploaded a zip that you can flash through cwm that fixes this problem

Thanks I'll look into it, but I doubt its compatible with the rom I'm running. Anymore suggestions?
Try going into the messaging app and changing the user agent to NexusOne (in settings and then select custom) you probably still need the file edited somehow, but it doesn't hurt to see if it helps
wow -__-
that last comment doesn't apply to this rom. This rom was the first to be released and doesn't support that feature.
I meant the builds, but just try another Desire rom if its something that irritates you. Just saying
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium
I've already tried that and they all seem like they have either too many bugs, or they're missing some features that the original already offers.
To me the original rom is complete in terms of most functionality and glitches. The only thing it really lacks is the mms fix. Which I'm trying to fix myself, but am stuck...
Hi, I found a rom that was buid for desire, its a translated sense rom in Hebrew

It's not something I can just write here, and then you perform it.
You will need linux knowledge. Porting means a lot of errors. You will need to look at logcat and fix errors.
Check out this site:
http://www.freeyourandroid.com/index.php
Download the rom.
Download a stable rom already for the hd2.
Remove driver files from the stable rom and put into rom you're porting.
Also you will probably have to rewrite the build.prop file to use the drivers you copied.
Rezip the rom your porting and test.
This is the most basic steps. I'm considering writing a guide on compiling and porting but I'm not sure yet.
Hope this helps some.
Sent from my HD2 using xda premium
Whre those drivers are located at?
Um, this is from memory but
Their located inside the system folder.
Their like lights.so etc.. I can't tell you alot without actually looking at it, my memory is failing me.

First of all thank for the help,
this what i already tried before i opened this thread..
i took an HD2 stable rom (2.3.3 sense 2.1) and deleted all apps in system/app/*
also i deleted customize folder, fonts, and framwork
and copy all the above from the desire rom (also 2.3.3 sense2.1)
so all i changed is apps, framework, fonts, and customize.
tried to boot and it stack on the kernel logo
any idea if i did right or wrong?
p.s sorry for the bad English, im working on it
