Try nFinityGB v0.92 - Gingerbread 2.3.3 (CM7 based)
Everything works, it is stable and fast.

Hi,
Can I go ahead and flash the Android 2.2 OS from android developers website? Will it work?
Regards,

NOT DEVELOPMENT RELATED MOVED TO GENERAL
we have three 2.2 roms:
fyodor 0.7.2c
SP-froyo 2.0
SPQRom 0.4.1
all are very stable but BE AWARE: CAMERA DOESN'T WORK and there are other little bugs that are being fixed...
I did this earlier this week using the manual root method, RA-recovery & fyodor ROM. As long as you read the instructions several times before starting and have all the tools to hand, fairly straightforward process.
BUT there are some annoying niggles that may make you delay. For me, not having handsfree Bluetooth means that I can't use the 2.2 ROM as I spend a lot of time in the car. Similarily, CoPilot doesn't work on 2.2 an ALK have yet to release a patch.
IMHO the 2.2 ROM is miles better on Tattoo than 1.6 (faster, neater, smaller) but does have some outstanding issues that you need to consider before flashing.

Thanks so much for your quick reply, Albert & Maxi.... Well, my phone is just 2 weeks old. I had played around a lot with my HTC elf, which was out of warranty. I am just concerned weather it will void my tattoo's warranty. Also, could you please brief me what else doesn't work apart from the camera. I called up HTC support today and they were not really helpful in tellin me about the update for my tattoo.
According to you both, which is better, 2.1 or 2.2?

Mithun.

I haven't used any 2.1 ROM's so can't comment but when you have rooted & RA-recovery on your phone, you can flash a ROM in a matter of minutes so you can quickly decide which version / variant is best for you.

the last version of copilot works on froyo
anyway in my opinion it's ok to choose between 1.6 or 2.2 but 2.1 is a NONSENSE 'cause camera doesn't work in 2.1 and 2.2 is faster and faster...you can install apps to sd without any patch...

Bro, I also wanted to know whether it will void the warranty since my phone is just 2 weeks old and I have a years warranty. Is there any way I can restore my phone to the original state after flashing a custom rom? I had done that on my elf before.... Where can I download stock rom for my tattoo?

Yup. Just do a backup.
As for warranty, HTC might try to use that as an excuse not to fix the phone. But unless the problem is related to the rom...
Only some specific rom (the ones that do overclocking and such), are actually susceptible of causing hardware problems)
And of course, switch back to stock rom, to make sure the issue you might have is not rom related.

Hi there,
I just rooted my 2.1 Eclair phone to Froyo's 2.2.1. Although I love how its made my phone faster its missing some basic features like the camera not working, (which is useless to me because i am always takin pics on my phone) and not having the ability to import contacts from SIM. Am guessing theres other things that make this Rom uncomplete compaired to the official release. Anyways am not here to complain. My question is, Is there a Eclair 2.1 rom that is customizable just like any other custom Rom out there ? I want the rom to be the same as the official release but just with the ability to download custom software basically...or if anyone can suggest a rom that retains all features like camera and import to sim....
sorry for the long request but once I know then I guess I know what choices I have.....thanks !
All Froyo builds, or most of them that i know of, have a camera working, don't know what is wrong with yours =/
Try Floyo or VillainRom, they surely have camera working.
Now if you want to go back to sense, there's a 2.2 Sense version flying around here (sorry don't know the name), and we even have 2.1's still about. There aren't that many Roms around anymore, so you can easily help yourself around. Just look in this section, and the thread titles should be fairly descriptive, along with the first post in each rom's thread.
Well I did try the latest Froyo, it was the special edition version and the camera didn't work. I then tried the stock version and the camera worked but I still had import to sim problems. There are a lot of Sense and non Sense roms out there, someone made a list and i've had a look at it so will try one of them. Thanks for the reply !
P.S. What in your opinion is the most stable rom out there for 2.1 ?
Floyo, FroydVillain, and elelinux's ROMs all have reputations for being quite stable. There may be others. I'm running Floyo and it's been totally solid and speedy, with rocking battery life. And everything works.
EDIT: Oops, sorry you asked for 2.1. The above ROMs that I listed are all 2.2.1. I've no idea about 2.1, sorry!
VanillaEclair has everything working, search for it on the board..

If you are interested in Sense 3.0 GB 2.3, I would recommend either Angeldeath's or Dungphp's Roms. Everything works in both with the exception of the camcorder and some minor graphic glitches.....

Are you sure it s a stable version.
Their thread said you can use a cam corder but third party.

Yes, I'm sure they are stable. I have been switching between both of them for the last month. I am happy with both Rom's. The camcorder issue is an issue with sense 3.0 roms on the HD2. The 3rd party apps can make it work but it will lag a bit...
WHEN and i mean IF my phone gets fixed, im switching up to boyppc ginger sense..I hear good things about it! anybody running his rom and what version? sorry for TJ'ing
Is there any newer version to gingerbread that can be installed on HD2 ?
Like android 3.1 or 3.2 ?
3 is honeycomb which is for tablets

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060 this one seems pretty stable.
If there will be an update of android for smartphones, i think it will be 2.4 and 2.5
2.3.5 is on it's way to the nexus s at the moment and cyanogen is qlready trying to implement it.
Stable versions where all is working are ndt miui 20.1 or hd2ginger or ndt ginger or hyperdroid ROMs. But most cm7 ROMs have higher battery drain than miui or stock ginger ROMs.
I am trying to flash teh steps in your link, but after I run ROMUpdateUtility, nothing is happeneing, it s always showing 0 % ...

If looking for non sensed roms, i recommend you to flash tytung's Nexushd2 v2.8 + GPS 1.8.. very stable no graphic glitch nor camcorder issue. GPC's pure gingerbread rom is also great but its discountinued since v2.6f
These roms are capable to play 720p of youtube
For the faster user interface, download launcher pro from market (the stock launcher is slow on our old hd2)
also these roms support cLK and MAGLDR

I'm new to the forums (of hd2, so new in the flashing progress)
Although, you have to install Hspl, I know from the touch diamond
I'm very sorry, but got nothing to test it on, got an HD2 in 3 weeks...
Need to wait Maybe an other member can help
(link to hspl install guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433 - Think this one is pretty good.)
//Hardspl is needed to flash everything, thats why you'll need it
Hello to all, I have a simple question i hope, i would like to change the operating system on my HD2 from Win 6.5 to Android 4.xx.

Many thanks,
Chris.

There are only 3 choices: AOSP, CM9 and MIUI. Go for either CM9 or MIUI. If you want stability then just use a CM7 or MIUI GB ROM.
I selected CM9 when I looked for new android version. I think you should try both and select yours.
But 1st: read cearfully ALL win-> android instructions!

Yeah a CM9 rom will be a good choice but do not expect a perfect build as ICS is still a work in progress. As for navi, google navigation does the job quite well imho
I am using NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9 V1.2 from Tytung.
I dare to say it is very stable until now - using it from 2 weeks.
Only 2 apps are not working - Gallery (working whit some bugs from time to time) and FM radio.
For the 2 native apps Tytung did post 2 different apps that you are able to use.
Also READ THE INSTRUCTIONS before doing anything to the phone.
For 2.3.x rom i recommend (i flash roms allot) HyperDroid-CM7-v5.8.0[a2sd][CyanogenMod7 LEO 2.3.7][seader_R9]
Have fun.
is thare a rom with sence 4.0
im realy looking hard for a good stable rom with all the fetures wifi calling would be great.
wantto have jellybeen with sence 4.0 realy but dont know if that even exists?
Have you considered using the search tool? Might help you.
yes ihave been serching and flashing and testing roms for almost a year and i always have some type of issue with every rom. I know not all roms are flawlessly perfect but im hopeing thare is atlest one someone is haveing alot of luck with?
i realy need a most uptodate stable rom for everyday useage.
im sic of messing with great roms only to find out something is not working right,
i just got my second hd2 as my first one broke on me and am trying to use latest wp7 pda 8.3 i have the orignal micro sd card calss 2 16gb sandisk and have experianced random reboots ocatinaly i like wp7 alot but not the random reboots,
i know people say i need to try out anoter sd card but i have run meeny other roms wp7 and android with out that error.
so im just wondering if anyone has sucsess with out dissapointment's on newer android roms i liked sence 3.0 alot
wonder if thare is a jellybeen rom with sence 4.0? or what is best android rom avalible with all working fetures and no hicups?
short answer is that sense 4 is not yet available as a daily-use build on the hd2. see the hd2 android nand development sub-forum to check which builds are currently making the rounds.
search to get more information. use the correct spellings "sense 4" when you search.

There is only ONE sense 4.0 build currently available and it has LOADS of bugs.
But there are quite a number of jelly bean builds, pretty stable amd with most things working. But they are slow as HD2 hardware is old now. So it cant effectively run it.
We may get smoother builds. But for now. These are all we have
