hey guys, I want to know whitch is your favorite androidrelease for the HD2.
I had just shubCRAFTS release jet, was really nice but i had lags all the time. so i will try another.
as far as i see, there are about 6 mainreleases, so tell which u like most and why.
usually darkstone are the best for me, but right now shubCRAFTS 1.4
mattc 1.5b for me.... tried a few others including mattc nexusLeo, but it turns out i actually like/want sense
Recently I used to have darkstones builds on my phone. But since shubcrafts new build for the first time has no freeze issues at all, +1 shubcraft
I have been using, Xcelsior's Android FroYo V1.00, gives me the best battery life and smoothest scrolling.
I think you need to try them all to find out, everyone will say different things
Always been a big fan of shubCRAFT builds 1.2 was his best-just tryin out 1.4 at the mo,quite impressed so far. A close second comes darkstone v2. Wished there was a new dan build out but he's busy workin on libs at the moment, but his was the first in my eyes that worked.
darkstone for speed, mms working on TMOUS, stability and stock froyo look. I like my builds with a little none-sense in them . (see what I did there...)
mattc 1.5b
mattc 1.5b Like Sense
xcelsior for me
mattc 1.5b +1
best built (with Sense) at the moment!
I am using xcelsior atm, it is best I have used so far. Have not tried the latest incarnation of mattc yet though.
Xcelsior's Android FroYo V1.00 .... period.
I use the mattc's 1.5b. I tkink its the best Android out now. Works very smoothly

Just to get my thoughts in before the thread closes (It seems its another version of "What's the best ROM thread?" IMHO)
I have darkstone's, mattc's and shub's all together and choose to use what I feel like depending on what I want to test
mattc's NexusLeo v1 for me !
ShubCraft Serie
I'm a ShubCraft's fan since v1.1! every build is clean, simply, fast and also has a good look.

Greetings,
I want to know your opinion .. Which Kernel do you prefer and why ??
- ElBartoME 2.6.32.9 #1 OR
- michyprima's R11 OR
- Darkstone OR
- Hastarin R7.1
-----> Currently i am using Hastarin R7.1 ... Tell me your experience ...?
Thanks ...
each dev puts hard work into each build. u shouldnt single out any of them by posting this poll.
there is no "best" kernel as there are good points in all of them and together they have created their own style of working.
All of the kernels are have similar tweaks so alot of things are the same i.e darkstones graphics tweaks and michys ext batteries.
I think that this would need to be a "which kernel do you prefer" rather than a best thread as this all falls down to preference. I for example prefer michy's kernel as i like having the higher clock speed and it has never let me down. I have tried others but keep coming back to michy's

i didn`t mean any insult for any dev .. title changed !
I prefer michyprima's R11 as I find that current evo kernels break more things than they fix.
Please move this to Android general?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I see how this topic could become helpful. It could signal out which kernel is the most used, eventually, kernel devs could move from their stuck-up ways and work together on whichever kernel people consider to be better/more stable.
I'm on Matt 1.8 and his kernel had constant problems with data dropping and very frequent 2-3 second freezes that were just abnoxious.
I switched to hastarin 4.1 and then 7.1 and I wouldn't go back. My device's been on Android only ever since and it's staying that way.
agreed.
this is a bit of an odd issue, because personally I really don't like the Hastarin R7.1 kernels, and the darkstone ones work beautifully, but clearly that isn't the case, regarding the fact that that's the most popular one.
in retrospect, this probably isn't a very good idea for a thread, because its not going to show anyone which kernel to get, because they will most likely get a different experience to others

can you post that kernel please been looking for that
Michy Evo R0
I actually like the Michy Evo R0 kernel. For me all the nexus one based kernels have the problem of freezing up if you let it go to standby with wifi on, once it happens you don't have much choice but to wait until it unfreezes. All the Evo kernels have the problem with the delayed flash, but that's a smaller problem for me.
I don't think telling devs they are stuck up is a good idea. I personally use which ever I wanna try. It gives them each good feedback. They make changes and those fixes spread to other kernals.

Im running Hastarin´s (4.1 or 5 i believe) in Mattc´s 1.8, im not sure which kernel was on that one, but im getting great results with this combination, standby drain goes down to 5ma at some points, and running with no SOD, almost none touch screen freezing, really minimal, and when they occurr it gets recovered pretty fast, im really happy with it, no 3G data for me, wifi works great though.
SLDS.
PS: Sorry about my english, i hope i made sense lol
I'm using Hastarin 4.1 ... didn't decide yet to move to 7.1 till most of users say it's OK.
I tried MichyPrima as well to see if it solves the data connection issues but turned out to be almost same performance like Hastarin's.

I agree. This is why I didn't upgrade to Froyostone 3.1. Seems that all current issues still exists + delayed camera flash due to the Evo Kernel
Hastarin's 7.1 drops data like a son of a *****. I ripped the one out of Shubcraft 1.5... Never had a drop signal once.
Just go to advanced wifi settings and set wifi sleep to never

Do'h! Why didn't I think of that? Of course now that I've tried the desire HD builds I really really really want to use that, but that camera doesn't work at all.
Now that I think about it, kernel code is getting better all the time, this poll really is premature. Maybe 6 months from now we can really decide.

Guys, please advise me. Is there any new reliable android build that have no lock screen of death? By lock screen of death i mean that it's unable to unlock device after some sleep because nothing swipes on unlock screen.
It's really pity, i can't find any recent one or any clear explanation why it's happening, instead may be, it has something to do with WIFI reconnect and appears on newer kernels. Since older builds doesn't stuck.

I have tried all android builds for HD2 and none of them give me SOD. All run pretty smooth without screen freeze. As a matter of fact, I am running only android for my phone now for the past few months.

hmmm.. never heard of the lock screen of death.. i know some kernel has some issues waking up the device.. anyway, you can try all the evo based or the desire HD based builds.. i know those builds doesn't suffer from SOD, in case that's actually what's causing your lock screen problem.. mdeejay Froyo HD and mdeejay Evo Sense those two are my daily drivers.. the only thing is you sacrifice the camera on those builds.. on Froyo HD you won't have a camera at all while on Evo Sense, it has a premature flash issue, but they're both stable..

About problem in general, try search for 'lock screen' in any recent build. You'll see tens or hundreds results with similar complains. Like here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=46782526

Winmo : Latest Energy Rom
Android : Darkstone Desire HD Beta 2.7z
works great no SOD i can use it for Daily OS ( of course without playing games but with FB and Twitter and some net browsing )
from 100 down to 20% battery playing games or browsing net straight maybe 2.5 hours ( just like the 2g iphone batt life when you use it alot)
I recommend the evo build since the kernel source is available and everything works while in the be builds, camera does not work. It won' be fixed until HTC release the kernel source. This is usually few months after the phone release. I am running an evo build , no screen freeze, no data freeze

@David
What older builds worked for you? I'd consider regressing if it means I can be rid of this problem.
Well that's it guys. Every single build I have tried to use has given me a LSOD. There is absolutely no hope of having a useable android build on my phone.
I've tried this one and have no lsod

Hey guys.. I've been running DarkStone for a while now, it ran perfect in most ways. Other than Very frequent Data Dropouts and some screen freezing occasionally. Other than that. it was perfect.
Would I be able to run DarkStone's Latest, and update the kernel to Hastarin's 8.5.1 oldcam or whatever? cuz from what I understand Hastarin's latest kernel has fixed data dropout's as well as screen freezing issues.
I'm now running BiffMod 1.3.1 and it's stock 2.2.1 with CM6.1 RC2 added to it. It would be ABSOLUTELY perfect for what I want, but I'm having the robot voice, and some sound issues like music doesn't sound right. And I can't dial any numbers. the thing freezes... I don't know a lot about Android on the HD2, and how to change all the kernels and all that.
Basically I want a Non Sense Build with some CM6 included and have it run stable.. Thats what I'm looking for. DarkStone was almost perfect.
Have you tried HD2ONE? Honestly I've tried several CM6 builds and they generally are very stable. Your issue might be deeper than the builds, I have heard people have lots of problems with class 10 cards.
I'm using phiredrops Cm6 build with the 8.5.1 old can kernel... I have no issues.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
is there any release that have fixed the screen freezes. thats the only thing that bothers me much... at times when there is a call, the screen does not lighten up and u seem there isnt any call if mobile is on mute
Yes guys...
I got DarkStone and put Hastarin's 8.5.1 oldcam, and his newest HaRet that all come in his kernel download into the Darkstone.. so far BUTTER smooth
This might just be what I needed. It's sound is great, not a single screen freeze or data dropout since last night.. This is perfect! oh and I'm using the stock 16GB class 2 that came with the HD2. but I do have a Wintec 16GB class 10 coming tomorrow I'll replace it with

hi,
i was wondering, now with all the android roms beeing published to xda
i'd realy like to know which rom is actualy the most recent, or the best, with the least errors and best to work
and another thing,
is it possible to delete windows from my phone and let my phone start directly from android, to avoid the long boot time?
@natihorny - Here's a link to TechBurrow's thread. There is a video/ links for what you need to do to flash your phone with Android and have it boot up directly to it without dealing with WM. I've yet to do this, as I'm still at work, but plan on giving it a try in the coming days.

I would suggest that you dont use NAND builds yet they are far from perfect but instead you should use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847631 it is motomans black and blue build wich is by far the best sense android build even much better than any ram and nand build and as for winmo flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893438 and it will boot android just as fast as any nand build and you will never have problems with this setup
this is a very, very subjective thread. there is not "best" rom--it's all about what you're looking for in a rom. for example, vanilla froyo vs. desire vs. desire hd vs. miui vs. gingerbread. or sd vs. sd ram vs. nand.
personally, i'm a proponent of sd ram. i haven't actually used it long term, but it seems to be very fast (and based on darkstone, it's even faster than nand). especially with nand being very young in its development, i would stick to sd for now. plus, it's much easier to flash and fix in case you corrupt your rom somehow. there's a few out there (just look for "[SD] [RAM]" in the descriptions), but one i'd like to point out is darkstone's superram froyo. i'm kinda busy right now, but that's definitely the rom i'm going to be using and modding to my liking.
good luck and have fun flashing!
ok, thanks everyone for the helpfull answers,
i had still one other question and thats,
i just bought a new car with bluetooth function, though my cell phone and the bluetooth of the car don't connect like it should, (thats why i wanted an android with the least amount of problems) and i was wondering if the fact that the bluetooth is only visible 120 seconds may cause the problem.

The build you are speaking of is the desire hd. I didn't suggest that build because it is laggy and slow. Even after 10 restarts and 2 days of use it still laggs alot compared to the one I posted in B4. Take it from someone that has tried every build available the motoman build is BY FAR the BEST after you get over all the HOOPLAH over the new htc sense wich is cool i'll admit but the coolness wears off after about 2 days and your just stuck with a laggy non responsive HD build. now others will post how good thier HD build works after hours of tweeking and reading and tweeking and reading. But trust me you will go back to the motoman build after you try the hd for a few days
@ wrecless
thanks for your view about which rom to choose, i'll do as you say, since you realy know what you're talking about, and i was hoping you tell me whenever a perfect rom from the htc desire is out?
