I can't connect to HSPA+ in winmo only 3G/HSDPA, BUT with MattC's newest sence ROM with PPP I have been blessed with the access to HSPA+ in Jacksonville, Fl. Check out my signature. What I want to do with this thread is list the compatible ROM's, their stability, and the area you are in.
By the way, my test was 7mb and it completed in less then one second. No B.S!
My specs:
Windows mobile: ©[ANDROID O.K][4 Aug 10][23569][21911]~[CHT]~[Premium]~[Kumar's TMOUS HD2 ROM Series]
Android: [BUILD][25.08.2010][mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.6b][Kernel: michyprima 2.6.32.9 #70]
Radio 2.10.50.26
Jacksonville, Fl 32225
~ very unstable with all the tweeks. winmo and Android, but the speed of the data connection is worth rebooting ALL the time.
Four months later...
First: thanks to all the members of XDA who contributed to bringing Android to the HD2. You saved a few HD2 from ending up in the trash. lol
I have been trying different android build on my HD2 for a few months now and I have notied than on builds like mdeejay Froyo Z, Android FRG33 mccm V1.5 and a few others I get the H data icon 90% of the time. When I use builds like mdeejay evo sense v1.6, HtcClays SuperDesire V1.0 and some others I only get 3G but never H. I know the difference between H and 3G, my question is why do some builds get it and others not. I would think that it would have more to do with the area coverage than the build but the results are in the same locations like my home and job. So is it something in the builds?
Thanks
I am based in Perth WA and have finally had enough of dealing with my European HD2 in remote issues. No reception
Have just picked up a Telstra T9193 and want to know if there are any special consideration regarding Android. Std Radio, Firmware and android?
On the H8585 I am running Miri Rom, 2.14 radio and Froystone 3.1 Android.
All running sweet.
miri, 2.15 radio, froyostone sense 3.1 on my t9193. no problems here
Energy 21680 from 29Sep with Darkstone 3.1. I just upgraded my radio to 2.15 yesterday and am testing that out. I'm in the US so I don't know if these radios would work well for you.
miri v17 rom updated radio to 2.15 here in New York area and found better reception, faster 3g and better battery despite many other claimed more consumption. WM6.5 is running smooth as butter and tried both SkinnyEvo and Froyo HD without a problem too.

Nope, nothing different except the band frequencies..no need to worry about radio versions or anything
Hello Ppl,
I havent manage to find a thread regarding this. M sorry if there exists one.
I ve been using mdeejay's, darkstones and mattc's builds and all of them where based on Desire.
Last week i ve decided to go with Revolution EVO (since he fixed 011 prob and numbers appear in the right format and it doesnt have any ads etc) from mdeejay and i ve got to say that it is by far faster, and more responsive than anything else i have tried.
I ve changed the kernel from hastarins 7.6 to latest (26/10/2010) git kernel with ported battery.
The screen rotate is almost done within a second
Lock unlock is much faster than desire's
Speed "feels" twice as fast as desire's
I ve used N1 builds in the past once or twice, but i miss the sense experience and i dont remember it being faster than desires.
Anyhow. I need your feedback.
What is your experience with it?
I've done pretty much the same as you, and I've got to say that the Evo version by mdeejay is simply amazing. It's the best version that I've used, stable and without issues.
one vote + for mdeejay's Evo - rEVOlution
for now, best rom, and best batt life near 2 days with 2g allways on and not very very intensive use..
-on op, i'm not a sense user but i liked the sharp wallpaper on mdeejays evo revo build + the smoothness of animations minus the drain in battery.
-desire, i didn't liked it.
-n1, i like cyanogenmod build for its customization.

Your choose is right . EVO Sense is the best as far as I know .
So what are the differences from a more technical reason?
What are the pro's and con's. Support, Hardware compat etc?
Sense versions. Is the desire sense newer?
If only it supported rmnet.
Not being able to use the data connection I'm paying $30/mo for... worthless.

I'm not off contract.
excellent seems that everyone shares the same feelings about mdeejay's evo build.
hope that we will be able to flash it on nand.
I really dont use winmo the last two months. I flashed a blank winmo image, and didnt set anything, not even giving my pin to it anymore.
I m really looking forward for a flashed edition.
But i notice that all the evo build didn't support chinese handwriting in serach contact list
Maybe just in my case
+1 on Evo revo really nice.

Gingerbread is so fast compare to Froyo, you would not believe it?
But Gingerbread has no sense (except sense theme from Mccm), has no Internet passthrough and some apps do not work with it. SPBTV 2.0 is an example for me.
This is my point of view.
I will never come back to Froyo.
I am Magldr, WP7, Mccm GB v2.1. THE BEST!
Why there is NO CLEAN SD/MAGLDR BUILDS of Gingerbread, without sense, CM mod etc...? Each avaliable 2.3 build is customized and very unoriginal Hope the situation will change...

i dunno what you mean....
check out AmeriCanAndroid.
it's a SD build, clean, based on CM7 Gingerbread, 2.3.3 to be specific. And is natively built as a Leo, not another device as is common amongst HD2 builds.

Well in my experience, Gingerbread is extremely fast, true, but Froyo is not bad and very stable. The best i tried for froyo was
[Dec 10][SD] NexusHD2-FRG83D V1.8 (PPP + RMNET) [Kernel: hastarin r8.5.3_oldcam], and i got very used to it, all my apps works well and fast enough. gaming (emulators, ps snes genesis n64...), all programs (social, productivity, work...) basically all the apps. My first real jump to gingerbread after many hesitation due to reading the forums was a month ago i tried with CM7 then another stock like (can't remember which one , sorry!), lots of hiccups and incompatible with many apps I loved and can't live without, don't get me wrong they were good but, from my point of view,coming from all the goodies in froyo did not beat the speed gingerbread offered. So i went back to froyo again using [DL Desire v4.32][Sense Re-Engineering with RAM][Always FASTER], which is blazing fast but lags some times (best quadrant score i've seen in all roms i've tested).
So my 2 cents is that it really depends on the user. I would absolutely go 100% gingerbread with AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB233 CM7|bkup2sdext234 [KERNEL:AmCanAndroid r3.06], because this is the best I have tested very fast stable and all that you can get from gingerbread on your HD2, however not compatible with my favorite apps. So until I can work around those, Froyo is still my best option and there are very decent one out there with good tweaking options (setCPU...). Choices choices Gingerbread vs Froyo means to me Speed vs Compatibility, hopefully we can get best of both world soon.
NB: I am talking about SD only, no MAGDLR or Ram as I have seen no real difference running SD or Ram in terms of speed or battery or at least not very noticeable, So I like to keep my WM around just in case since i tend to go crazy on all the options offered so in case of android crash and urgency i can boot back and respond fast on my weak but trusty WM.

Try [27.FEB][DFT/CWM] NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.3 [Android2.3.2][Kernel: tytung_r6]. Clean, fast ROM without any extras
I bought my hd2 on ebay and had to flash it back to 6.5 because of a password problem. I really like my phone but I did like the android. I have been reading hundreds of pages and there is just too much information to get through.
I would like to put android back on my phone but how do you figure out which version is the best? For me it needs to be simple. I am an old lady. I want to put it on and never have to mess with it again. Will some nice person help this old lady across the street.
Look good experience

The only way to truely tell which rom is the best one for you is if you test them out yourself. We can tell you which one works best for us but it won't really do any good.
Check out the thread below it breaks it down to different types of android roms..
HD2 NAND BIBLE [roms][kernels][mods]
Hello I'm Catalin,and I have HD2.I lke the new android 2.3 but i don't like the dial pad.Can some one fix that
@Stormynights
Hi I'd advise you to have a look at darkstones SD roms particularly the sense-less build (I'll edit post with link and name later, I forget it now).
It's very fast, simple to set up. I have been using it ever since I first tried it, about 6 weeks ago. Rock solid and very clean and lovely to use it's well worth a look.

Here are the two best Android builds for your HD2 (please get that crappy Windows 6.5 off of your phone at once)
Froyo 2.2 with Sense (ALOT LIKE 6.5 ONLY ANDROID)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915159
Gingerbread 2.3.3 (VERY FAST AND STABLE BUT SOME APPS DON'T WORK)
