Yes, if you would read, you would know that most Android distros don't work with the stock ROM and radio. The only one that I have found that does is the Desire HD build, seems to work awesomely with the stock ROM. If you are hell bent on running Android, you need to flash to an Android compatible custom ROM, and apply HardSPL. The battery problem is a universal thing. It happens on nearly every distro of Android, so just try a bunch and see which one fits your needs.

i mean a custom rom not a stock rom.... im looking for a custom rom that will work well with android and lessen the battery use percentage of it.. cause the android system itself uses 50% of the battery.. i was wondering if there was a custom rom that will fix this and work well with android desire build.
The android builds are made to kill winmo when it runs. Ive read a post with tips one was to start android as soon as android boots up which did help me. Also i know the chuckydroid rom is really lite and boots fast. Ugly as hell but its not meant to look nice.

Hi everyone
What is peoples oppinion on full winmo roms like VBN or Energy and also using Android? Or do you go for the lite versions which should be more Android friendly?
Currently i am running VBN Droid Rom but i am missing a few features in the lite versions... Wondering to go back to the full roms but just thought i would ask around what your experience is with the full winmo roms compared to the lite ones
Thank you all
radio and rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651729 is a great full tweaked rom that works perfect with android!! give it a try youll love it!! i used lite roms for android and the elegancia works just as good! more important than the rom is the radio it will make all the difference! 2.12.50.2_02 works best for most http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787!!!

Ditto here.
Always been an Energy Rom user, but thought I would give ChuckyDroid a go, as basically using Android as my day to day OS.
I found that with ChuckyDroid I was having more screen freezes and hard freezes (pull the battery), so switched back to Energy.
I believe there isn't much difference between the full and lite roms when running Android, its just down to personal experience and what works for you best.
As long as the Rom is Android friendly, and has the correct files cooked in to stop Robovoice etc, you won't see much difference apart from mainly the boot up speed if your booting straight into Android. As there was a considerable difference booting to Android using ChuckyDroid compared to Energy. ChuckyDroid was lightening quick.

Please define "Android friendly", or is that what chef just saying to make you feel comfortable, more confident to use with Android?
I cooked my own rom from the kitchen, I just unchecked this, unchecked that....then... you know....,I know nothing about Linux, Android, and my rom just run perfect with any Android build.
oh, I put a line says " this rom specially made to run Android", maybe that make my homemade rom "Android friendly".

There are several .dll files that need to be in your build.... Im searching for the thread, as Im no expert but have read on this.
These files may already be in your base ROm when uploading, but the Roms that were having the problem with Robovoice I believe these files were added and if not fixed the problem were part of the reason it was fixed.
Edit....given up searching for the posts (so many to look through with key words such as robovoice, files, rom, android etc) but from what I can remember it was dll files taken from a stock 2.10 rom, which helped with the problem.
Edit again....Found the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=757914 Actually reading back it doesn't give a definite answer if theses files did work, but it sounds like they did for pkoper.
I've tried ChuckyDroid & it was very good if you're running Android 24/7, but it's VERY lightweight. I'm using VBN now because I wanna have a usable WM rom just in case something happens to my Android installation(card dies, gets corrupted, etc.) & I'm not able to fix it right away. I've noticed no difference in performance upon switching roms. That said- I got robo-voice BAD on the stock WM rom, and it went away as soon as I flashed a custom rom.

I'm using a pre-Android EnergyROM for WinMo and it works fine. So not so sure about the correct files being cooked in?
One thing I've found is that Sense will get corrupted for some reason. So make sure you disable Sense (and then restart) before jumping into Android.
It'd work a few times, then on my 4th or whatever reboot into Android, Sense would decide to die. Not sure why, as Android isn't meant to interact with WinMo, but it would.

is HSPL needed to run android in hd2?
Do you think this is the right thread for 'question'?
Normally HSPL is needed because you need to flash the radio rom suitable to run android.
as long u using 3rd party rom u need it..
I don't believe it is "needed" to simply run Android. Now if you want it as your daily OS, I would strongly suggest it. You will be able to flash the recommended Radio / ROM combination so that you get the most functional build possible.
Without the right radio or ROM, you will have some unwelcome bugs.

since the day i bought hd2 until now it never been hspl yet in other word it still original official hd2 rom, here the descriptions:

rom: 1.66.707.1
radio: 2.07.51.22_2
protocol: 15.32.50.07u
I have stock T-Mobile US HD2 and I have not put HSPL or anything... it's even GSM locked to the carrier...
I managed to get FroyoStone series to work just fine; mccm build FRG33 and FRG 83 build as well... besides that I did try some builds like shubcraft or whatever the name is and it did not want to work due to screen freezes - so I just went back to mccm 1.5
sorry double post

I use Chuck Droid ROM as my WinMo base. Radio 2.10.50.26. I switch between 2 Android chefs: MdeeJay and Bangsters. I use them both for daily use.

anyway our advice is already stated there..
u want to install or not is depend on u..
any brick on ur phone will be responsible by urself..
You can run Android on a stock phone, but just be ready for any of the various annoyances with doing so, most common is audio issues like robot voice during calls. I tried it on stock Tmous HD2 for a while before finally loading up custom roms.
You might get lucky and not have the issues.

hey guys im posting this to ask you guys which custom rom i could flash to my htc tmobile hd2 leo to make it work with android 2.2 desire build...... im looking for a rom that can fix my radio so i can make phone calls.. and i rom that would decrease the amount of battery usage my android system wastes.... cause right now without a flash my android system itself is wasting a ****load of battery!!!! so if there is a rom that can do all of this... let me know please!!!
You have already posted this! AND we answered you! It is not your ROM that is causeing your battery to drain so quickly while using Android, its ANDROID that is doing it. Some builds of Android are not as good at battery management as others...you just gotta find one that works for you. Please don't post this question again. You are using the stock ROM, which doesn't really work with Android..your calls won't work using the stock ROM. You must flash a new ROM in order to use Android, or download one of the Desire HD flavors of Android...don't ask me which one because I don't remember, just use the search function or read the threads in the Android section.

so if i flash a custom rom that works it will fix the battery problem??? or just the calling???
Didn't we already tell you that haret kills windows mobile. I recomend you use the Chuckydroid windows mobile rom found in the android development section.
Your horrible battery life is not due to windows mobile. It's due to the android build, try using the nexus one 2.2.1 build.
thinking about going back to android on the hd2 have the builds gotten better and faster and better battery life. can anyone link me to the best build out there. used to have froystone by darkstone till he discontinued the build

they got better, much better.
and like always there are no "best builds"
i can just recommend u using a nand or even a RAM build
my current one is the Ultimate Droid 3.0 RC, but there is a new version out, i recommend trying that one
or else.. cm7, always a good choice
I´m on typhoons CM7 and it runs like a charm really fast and really good battery life (3-5mA in standby with wifi and gps on). But there are a lot of builds that you can try.
I changed my HTC HD2 to android aswell and its fast and table. So you know that to do. Flash it to android

You have the option of running it off the SD card like the good old days along side winmo. Or you can flash it to the nand memory which is how native android devices run android.
I personally use nand builds and in my experiences they are more stable and battery efficient. Check my sig for the build I use.
Go to the nand android threads and read the stickies to get the lowdown. Since you do need madglr and cwm.

Nope it's fairly straightforward, I did it last night:
1. Install MAGLDR 1.13,
2. Install Clockwork Recovery,
3. Download the rom, renamed to update.zip, stick on SD card
4. Run Clockwork Recovery and install update.zip
5. done
I'm using this one. Seems good so far
i will be securing an htc hd2 tomorrow untouched with windows still on i will definitetly chime in tomorrow as im not that advanced as far as modding phones and am a little nervous. i dont want to brick my phone

dont be that scared, its much easier than u think
just flash magldr as described
then flash cwm as described
and the rom over cwm
get on it asap dude. DFT has really good nand android builds. i rocked a hd2 with their gingerbread and it was brilliant. very stable and didnt crash at all. the process is so easy to
If you used to use FroyoStone by DarkStone, then you should use SuperRam Froyo by Darkstone!
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870518
gonna flash soon what in you guys experience is the best full featured nand version are the gingerbread versions fully up and running or still missing certain things
Gingerbread is cool with AWD Launcher Plus and some other widgets.
Unfortunately camera quality in my case was poor so I dropped this rom.

Most of them are multilanguage so yes.
I've tried 2 so far and both of them are in Dutch.
So I absolutely love my HD2 with android on it. So much better than windows! But sense keeps getting in the way of my apps (mostly Wiimote apps) and it is getting really annoying...Is there a way around that? Or more to the point, does anyone know of a good rom that is android without sense that I can run?
cm7 based builds give you a good performance. you can also try miui builds they are fast too.

What problem are you having? (former serial ROM flasher!!!!)
Are you using HD2 Toolkit, makes life a lot simpler for flashing ROMS etc
if you ask 10 people here what rom they like your bound to get 20 different responces. your best bet is to try each rom intill you find a rom you like and stick with it. i have 2 or 3 roms i like best and keep them on my sd so when i feel i need to change i just flash 1 real quick.
if you take a look at this web page there is a list of all the android roms listed here on XDA. its much easier to look through then the pages here & also it tells you if it has sence or not, when it was updated, if its a nand or sd version, when it was added as well as some other useful information. i would check it out and hopefully you can find a rom you like that works for you.
Go try to "TyphooN CyanogenMod 7".
I think you will like it if you don't like sense roms.
Which CM rom is the closest to normal CM7 without any themes or graphical changes? Would it be Tytung's NexusHD2?
