Issues with installing Android 2.2 on my HD2

Hi everyone,
I need help with android on my HD2. I put on my HD2 the Android 2.2 OS but there is no sounds and calls have robot like sounds (can't even make out words that are spoken). I have been having the same problem no matter what I do and how many times I redo the installation process. I even installed HSPL3 and went from a 2.10 radio to a 2.08 radio still the problem persist. And yes i did tap on CLRCAD before taping on HaRET. Someone please help...

The Robot Voice is a known issue. However, some cooks have fixed the issue in their custom ROM's. Why don't you check them out.

x2.
certain rom+radio combinations are better than others in terms voice call quality. e.g., chucky rom+latest radio works good with mattc's froyo sense, miri's rom seems to work well with darkstone's builds, etc..

I went through most of the threads of there but in vain

You just have to experiment, or look around in user's signatures, and see what build combo's they are using.

i've tried this so many times to no avail, the sound is very low plus i get tke robot voice and after the second call it does not sound anymore. Also there are no ring tones, everything works but the audio. This is what I'm running:
Froyo Stone with sense, my radio is 2.10.50.26 everything is in the SD card, also how can I access the sd card? Thank you so much for any help you cab give me.

well ill give you my tip on how to resolve your problems. i did this to my phone and now i can run android FLAWLESSLY on my HD2.
1.go to tmobiles site and download the latest STOCK rom for your HD2.
2. run the program to install it so that you have the newest stock rom on your phone.
3. install HSPL 2.08 and MAKE SURE its HSPL and not SPL.
4.after installing that, install a custom WM rom of your choice(im using the WM bare bones by NRGZ28)
5.then install a new RADIO rom( i am using the Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2)
6.download and install the ANDROID ROM of your choice(i am using MATTC's NeXus one 2.2 OTA operating system)
7. reboot after you finish installing the android and it should work great! i havent had any robot voices/SoD or screen freezes and i have been using it for 4 days now and i usually get about 12-14 hours of use out of a full charge.
let me know how that works!

This has been talked about MANY times already. Android on the HD 2 is kinda like a learning a new recipe, you have to try different things till you find something that works for you. Did you know there is a whole forum dedicated to android on the HD 2? Really there is It is HERE

It does not work with all ROMS. You have to find a ROM that is compatible with Android. Omega's latest ROM is compatible.

Hey man you are a life saver. Tried what you did and my HD2 is working. The only thing I have found is when I hook up my bluetooth headset it somehow corrupts everything and i have to reinstall the rom to get everthing else working. Thanks again

Few differences.
I have chuckyrom light and froyostone (8/7/2010) build.
Its a t-mobile phone.
When I had the 2.10 radio, the build froze constantly. I couldn't use it. As soon as I changed to the 2.12 radio mentioned above, I haven't had a problem since.
I'm going on nearly 2 weeks and it has performed flawlessly.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

same here
I have same issue with robot woice, just like from videoclip Black Eyed Peas
I think the combination one month old Duttys ROM and Foryostone2.2 Android image is the reason. Radio ROM is the latest. Therefore I think every chefs WM ROMs has to be modified to be compatible with currend Android port developement.
Also I have very fast music player, everything sounds like Smurfs and battery drain is very extrem.
But battery drain is common for every Android ports, as I can see at forum, so until this issue will be resloved it is just for fun not for the real usage I hope developers who spend a lot of time with porting will have luck with that soon

What would be best to upgrade to?

Hey guys,
New to the forum
I've had my HTC HD2 for about 2-3 months now, and recently its been running really slow and crashing all the time.
Now I was wondering, would it be wise for me to upgrade to the latest ROM, or Android?
Thank's in advance.

welcome. you can have both - new rom and android. i would do that!

The HD2 is an awesome phone, you honestly won't find much better stuff out there.
Don't run the stock winmo rom, it's crap. Flash a custom rom and install android, which imo is much better. Soon we will have a nand version of android on our phones making it just as quick in android as native android phones.

Thank you for the replies guys.
Now off to find tutorials lol
Any recommendations?

lots of reading!!!!
Start with updating your info so we know where you are located and what carrier you have.
There are 3 versions of the hd2.
Euro version
Aussie version
T-mobile usa version
I would read here for a tutorial on flashing custom ROMs for the t-mobile hd2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
For all others:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
To flash a custom ROM you need to hspl unlock your phone.
go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6891358&postcount=1893
This will unlock all versions of the hd2.
For Android, the best 2 radios are usually 2.10 and 2.12 found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
These radios will work on all phones and are usually good radios for all ROMs. You need a .50 radio to flash most of the custom ROMs not to mention to run Android so might as well install one of these.
Next go here and pick out a ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534
Most ROMs are compatible with all phones. Make sure if you have a tmous phone, not to flash any radio that has .51 in it. To run android you need .50 radios anyways.
I would suggest these ROMs as good ROMs to run android from:

and then finally, the Android builds that run from your SD card are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735
I have personally only used this Android ROM as I have found Android to be too much like IOS and only really find the web browser to be better than WinMo:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735532
I really think that you should start with a custom ROM, get to know it, get to know about flashing before jumping into Android, but hey, it's your phone. How many other phones can dual boot?

Alternatively, you can flash the latest Stock ROM from HTCs website.
The stock ROM isn't necessarily crap, its usually down to opinion.
I use an O2 stock ROM, and have no performance issues.

I agree on the fact that the Stock Hd2 ROM isn't crap at all: if anything its the perfect one for me (so far)
I've tried the energy rom, the mirri rom, basic wm rom and all of them didn't do it for me looks wise.
All I really want is the basic 9 apps (iPhone style that I am used to) as my homescreen so I really don't need a ROM outside of wanting to find one with even better battery life. The Hd2's battery life has been great so far for me but is there a rom out there that is even better?

Does Android Work With New 3.14 Update?

I am thinking about updating my phone to the newest update from tmobile 3.14.... but does anyone know if any android builds work on it...

am using cmyfroyomoostone.bluetopia.v.0.3.1 with the new tmobile stock rom 3.14 and so far so good all works will also calls

Works great with any Android for HD2, I've run several of them. Before I had to run a custom ROM or an old stock ROM rather than the latest stock, but T-Mobile fixed the Android compatibility in 3.14. That having been said, I might be using a custom ROM soon, I like cookie's home tab and some of the chefs seem to be better at getting it really nice than me. ;-)

yup, I just installed android on my hd2 yesterday with the 3.14 update from tmobile and it is working just fine

it works, but i think the radio included with the update drains you battery pretty fast... i would go for a energy rom with 2.12.50.xx.x radio and phireMOD skinnyEVO v1.5 and if you dont want the overclocked cpu upgrade to latest kernel and it works fantastic,,,, try and youll see,,, mms, sms, and everything... >

Works awesome
i am running on completly stock with 3.14 update... battery life is ABSOLUTLY HORRIBLE THO!!!!!!!!!

if you want to go directly to desire HD builds then that is your prerogative, but don't whine if ever it lags.
You have HSPL with stock rom? May I know the link of the particular winmo rom you used?

The following WM6.5 and Droid Builds work really well for me, just make sure you re-format the sd card on the WM rom and also change the screen time-out to 'never' before booting from the droid folder. The ROM and Build links are below:
WINMO ROM:
http://htcpedia.com/kwbr_HD2_com3/so...om.html?page=1
DROID BUILD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793924
Hope you find it as good as I have, just make sure to HSPL before-hand, this is the Nexus One droid build and i've only had one small problem with hearing people on calls, but that fixed itself after a couple of uses. The build is very stable and reliable and also battery life is good (No outstanding BUILD is the best for battery as it really depends on the RADIO you use) .

Even though your going to be using droid all the time anytime you switch off the device, without a bootload option between WM and DROID you will always need a WM ROM to use as a platform to boot droid.
The ROM i use is a very low-key ROM and dosnt take up that much memory.
Plus the RADIO is what ultimately makes the good data connections and battery power etc so you will need both.
The way I have my build the droid battery drain issue is minimum (in my experience) to other builds, its stable, fast and it works well. Just make sure to install LauncherPro once you boot er up.
Just remember though if you restart your phone for any reason it will go back to the WM ROM on boot-up unless you have a BOOTLOADER installed so you can choose between either.
Hope this helps

It's always advisable to run Task29 before flashing a different type of ROM as it helps 2 ensure no remnants of the previous ROM remains 2 cause possible conflicts.....
Nw abt Gingerbread....Its way far 4rom perfect and so u should (actually "must" better defines it) expect issues from it...Check 4rom thread to thread for a build with lesser issues, then flash it 2 see if it matches ur taste...if it doesn't? u can always try another...

I suggest that you try a SD build of Gingerbread first.
That way, you don't need to flash your ROM, and it will leave your WM 6.5 ROM intact. The second advantage is that you will see if it fits your expectations.
But be aware that no build is perfect, and it is known that many apps are not compatible with Gingerbread yet.
I am currently using the build from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652
and it is working really well.

Gingerbread
All in all I think Gingerbread, is quite stable, try MDJ's cyanogenmod7 that seems to work quite nicely
