not another one of these threads. learn to use the search button. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651632
there is NO WAY right now to even port it. like the guys above me said, go buy an android phone.
close thread please.
what you could try is:
copy a HTC desire ROM to your HD2 and see what happens when you boot it..
please let me know the outcome..

I know its agervating to answer this question over and over when someone doesn't know how to search the forums. Tho I know you are being sarcastic, and you show may of signs of being sarcastic, but he/she may not and will end up bricking his phone.
Don't do what he suggested. You will have a $500+ brick.

Didn't know we had so many comedians here on XDA, have any of you thought about trying out for Last Comic Standing?
Did you catch a hint of sarcasm, you sure did!
Should the OP have used search, yes. Should the OP take a look at the XDA homepage from time to time, sure. But really, whats the point in replying if you have nothing to contribute of value. Reply #4, even though it was blunt and could be read in a not so pleasant tone, still offered a valid answer and link without leading the OP down the path to a possible brick. Everything other reply was useless. Go ahead, flame me all you want, I don't give a ____.
To the OP, no, there is not a direct port of Android in any flavor for the HD2, or any other WinMo based phone for that matter. Yet. This doesn't mean it won't be possible, amazing things have happened here on XDA since I joined in 2007. There are options though, keep watching this thread as there are currently 6 known working HTC WinMo devices that can run Android via a WinMo app called haret.

I think there's more than 6 winmo devices that can run android through haret. But otherwise, you're completely right.
I don't think a lot of the people on these forums asking for android on HD2 understand the fact that there has been no perfect android port for any winmo devices, yet. I've noticed there's a lot of new winmo users on these hd2 forums who think that a port should come soon and they will be able to install/flash it and have a perfectly working android phone. I've even heard people say they bought the hd2 anticipating an android port.
It doesn't work like that. It never has. These ports take time. They are very buggy at first, and even when they iron out the bugs, it is still not fully functional. It will probably be years before we have a port that can use bluetooth, wifi, camera, sensors, etc.
If you want to use android full-time as your main phone os, get an android phone. It's great when we can boot into android when you want and use some android apps, but it's going to be a very long time before its functional enough to want to use full-time. If you want to have a hd2 and make full use of its features, your gonna have to use winmo. A bootable android will be a great feature and fun thing to play with, but thats all its going to be good for for a long time.... something to play with. I dont think theres been a fully functional port to a winmo phone, yet.
So to the people waiting for android on your hd2... be patient, and dont expect a fully working version anytime soon.
Hey,
i'm experiencing strange connection problems on all android builds i tried so far. The connection is sometimes so bad, that i can't even call somebody or recieve calls, sms etc..
Are u experiencing the same problems? Is there any fix?
please learn some forum ettiquette and don't just go posting a relatively personal question in the middle of the developement forum.
all the android builds can make calls and all that pretty well, so you simply are not following instructions (from any angle.) go to the forum for the android build you are using, read the instructions, and maybe you'll find that your radio is probably the problem.
i'd tell you more, but you haven't been clear about what you're using. its like you calling a mechanic and leaving voicemail about your car problem without telling him what car you actually have. think about that

The solution's already been given to you. It doesn't matter if you're a "pro" or not. Hell, I'm a noob for what it's worth, but I don't have any problems with my build. Someone even took the time to explain it all to you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7088391&postcount=3
Go to the thread of your build and read, and search, and read some more.

Where did you give me the solution?? I didn't find my problem anywhere in this forum. I "installed" everything correctly. My Radio version is the newest one. So that's probably not the point
I did not check the link but from what it sounds like is that you need to input some APN settings, i am not sure what those settings are etc since i am a noob at this also.
But ur Radio version is not the best suitable for these Android builds, try using version 2.11.50.20
can somebody give me a link of the best and almost or complete android build for the hd2 ?

There's only so many builds here. Try reading the thread of a build you might be interested in, try it. If you don't like it, try another. "Best" is very subjective. What's best for you may not be best for someone else. Switching builds is not very time consuming.
The best build is the one you didn't read about... which is all of them. You my friend should stick to windows mobile so you don't have to ask these kind of questions.
God not another one
I know its frustrating to try to find the best build, and I agree with others there isn't one best build with the variety of android types there are esp with or without sense. But the truth is there is no one solid build. I've tried like ten different ones and all have problems. Hell even a phone with stock android will have problems.
New builds come out almost daily. Figure out if you like sense out not, and find a build that is most stable for you. Then just read forums till you find one where all the reviews seem positive. Don't get in the habit of changing rooms daily though cuz it'll be a pain in the butt to reinstall everything and not much may change in builds each day. Good luck.

Yeah.....another wonderful post
hahah
haha! I f*cken love it. I can recommend mdeejay's builds and Core's core droid v0.5. Cause it seems you have no idea what your looking for, just start there, learn a few things about it and find out what you want. Many people will disagree with the recommendations given, but that just proves the above points: Everyone's taste is different. Also this is NOT saying mdeejay's and Core's series are the best, just MY recommendation.

Nobody can tell you which is the best built.... you gotta try it yourself! I must say, every built is different and it has its strong point! Give it a try, dont waste their efforts!
Oh f*ck off seriously, can we not start limiting sign ups?
what's the best build guidelines ?
I agree with you all guys, except we can give him tips, afterall.
For exemple:
look for what you use,
some build do not work with 5mp camera,
some are faster with data transfer
just click on them all, read what's working/not working,
forget what you don't like, try what you like.

I seriously didnt even know the forum had that option. Thanks for the tip!
I agree, that a lot of questions shouldn't be asked, because the answers are already somewhere on the forum. This question belongs to the general android forum, but it could be a nice thread, in which experiences from users can be read.
If you like HTC Sense you should use Coredroid 0.5. It has everything working, (camaraflash works properly, handsfree dialing; don't forget to fix the dialing preferences)Important is the right radio, and I experienced, that the Chucky windows ROM's (e.g. Cuckydroid) work fine with it. Some other windows ROM's caused dramatic bad Data connections.
Good luck, and read a lot!

I have no opinion what the 'best' build is, but here is how I go about working out when and what android build to install on my HD2 next.
For each post from a Chef, I read the intructions to see if it works out of the box or if I needed to be adding extra modules / making other changes. Then I read the replies. Are the majority of the replies positive or negative? Does the Chef post replies? Is the Chef active on the forum?
I install builds where the Chef is active on the forum and / or active in the irc chat. Where no additional modules have to be installed. Where the majority of the replies are positive. But that is just me, everyone is different
EDIT: Oh and the obvious one, whether it is sense or vanilla. I choose sense most times.
I agree that if you got nothing to say just ignore the post. No need to come in here and get all over the guy or gal. I for one am glad he posted as I found out all of my data connction problems were due to my ROM. I love the Elegancia ROM's but it seems that Chucky's works much much better at least with my connections. Thanks for the good info. Oh I like the Desire ROM as it was built for a phone very similar to ours, thus it incorporates a lot of HTC goodies. Flashlight, Facebook integration etc.
What would it take to get a working windows phone 7 rom onto this device? I don't know anything about WP7 dev, but have been dying to try it and this phone is more than capable of handling the load, it's just a matter of if it would jive and such.
Any thoughts comments, etc?
If you truly want the w7 feel you should use desktop Visualizer I think... go to the themes section they have a guide on how to theme your android to something VERY similar... as far as actually porting a rom... think that's prolly a little too much coding and work considering if someone wanted it that bad they likely would have just bought it as such...

I had an HD2 before but did not like windows at all and there was not a suitable android release for it so I sold it.
I really liked the phone but was wondering if there is a good android replacement where everything works available for it now?
Thanks for any help
I use the BOYPPC SHIFTPDA DHD V18 Rom (Desire HD) on my HD and it works perfectly on it.
if you have TMOUS LEO1024 i would check out this ROM. i have found that its pretty much bug free (none that i've found anyway) and a great ROM overall. also a great fast/stable ROM would be RAFDROID HD found here.
if you need a guide on re-installing Android i would check this thread out
I have not bought one yet but I'm looking on Craig's list and will find one soon.
Are the ones you guys mentioned Gingerbread?
Thanks for your help
I've tried almost all available NAND builds for HD2 and I can say that I found only one stable and fast build which is NexusHD2-Gingerbread".
I've tried those big, ram eaters - HTC SENSE ROM's
The thing that convinced me to install it was obviously HTC Sense, but I realized that it's unless if I am not using it's widgets (facebook, twitter, messages, etc).
But that wasn't the main reason why I left these roms, the main reason was the performance. Booting took much longer than on normal clean non-sense rom, I had to wait until it stabilize itself after each boot (1-2 minutes, htc sense had to load up and other processes). Scrolling wasn't smooth as on clean rom. These roms are more likely designed for 1024mb hd2's because on 512 hd2's it just doesn't fit (i don't know how it works on 1024mb but i guess the same, the only reason why I said it is for 1024mb hd2's was because mostly every htc sense build requires sd parition). The phone did not respond as quick as on clean gingerbread build. I just think that camera is better than on clean rom, pictures looks nice, sharp with good contrast.
I've also tried MUI roms.
These roms are nice and simple, eye catchy UI and advanced settings. Ability to change lots of things such as boot image and sound, custom firewall, etc. everything can be easily found, just few taps, everything is nicely designed.
However it is not as quick as clean rom, it can hang somewhere, and not always completely translated from Chinese to English. You can customize it for your own needs.
Normal clean roms are the best in my opinion.
I've used mostly all different roms, Android and Windows 7, and I always come back to NexusHD2-Gingerbread rom. I think that the only thing that makes me changing this rom is it's simplicity. It is the cleanest rom I ever seen and quickest one (you just need to change home launcher to GOLAUNCHER as it make the phone super fast and responsible, because on standard one scrolling through apps lags).
So I prefer this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060 thanks to it's fast booting, fast responding and stability.
HTC SENSE ROM's might have better benchmarks but believe me it can't be compared with Clean NexusHD2-Gingerbread rom. Every gameloft game
work flawlessly on it.
It is just my opinion from the experience with those roms.
Do we have to have this same topic re-created and re-cycled every single [email protected]*king day?
Its not hard to use search or go through a couple of pages, Its just pure lazyness to create this topic, pure and simple.
Second vote for Gingerbread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060 It is just great and hassle-free, gave me no trouble of any kind.
As far as threads like this are concerned, I don't see why members can't ask for other members' opinions on what they like or dislike. Of course they can go and check out the available versions by going through the threads and posts, but personal recommendations would be the best way of finding out the outstanding work, rather than waste time going back and forth even after all the reading is done and all the problems are noted. It's not only time consuming, it can be daunting with the amount of information and releases that's out there. Perhaps we should run the best release poll and have it stickied to save time. After that whoever wants to try other things is free to rummage through the section and flash at their heart's desire.
@Gabriel51 your bound to get so many different answers because everyone likes different things as already pointed out
@dawid your right that if you dont use the widgets theres really no point at all so i have to give you that but lets talk about scores for a second. i personally clocked 41.something mflops on RAFDROID HD using linpack, a 2816 quadrant score & vellamo was only 29 points behind the dual core Sensation. now im not saying numbers are everything but you would have to admit thats pretty fast. although i really like the wifi calling feature available on the NexusHD2 ROM which im sadly missing :'( this feature alone is worth flashing that ROM
@TheATHEiST it does seem like this is covered on a daily basis from different people and a search would yeild results if people would ever use it. i will say though in all fairness that i use the search feature everytime im trying to find something but i feel the search function on this site is a little subpar causing it to be difficult at times to find what your looking for. most of the time i dont have any problem at all though.

They can, thats not the point, The point is this is the same question, over and over and over, Why create the same topic and ask it again instead of reading one of the other topics? You are going to get just as relevant answers by reading them as you are creating another topic. All topics like this do is clutter the place up.
For example, If I was to get a new device tomorrow, I wouldnt go and create a silly topic like this in my new devices section as its common sense it will have already been asked and answered, Instead I would go and read the topics that already exist and try some roms out for myself. The fun part is learning and adapting.

I've had this argument a few times now. The point is if you all keep creating threads on topics that have already been Answered your making it harder for people to search for their answers because your cluttering up the forums with sh+t. I'm happy to spend some of MY time answering questions but when the op could of simply typed "revert hd2 to stock xda" into Google and found his answer it becomes quite tedious because this question does get asked everyday.
