Hey guys. I'm not new to HTC phones. I have been on these forums a while. I have purchased a used mytouch 3g (32b) and have already rooted and installed cyonagenmod 6, 2.2 Froyo.
I have owned 3 HTC phones in the past all Windows mobile. (HTC Touch, Touch Diamond, and recently deceased Touch Diamond II) The TD2 was a great phone to me for 1.5yrs and am sorta missing it but glad it died cause it gave me a reason to buy an Android phone. Not one of my dream but still an android phone.
I was wondering if you have a thread or know of somewhere where radios have been compiled for downloading. I assume that like WinMo you can flash a different radio the same way with andriod. Am I correct?
My radio version currently is 2.22.19.26I and I'm haveing slow 3G loadtimes compared to my brothers HD2. With my Touch Diamond II I switched radios about 5 times till I got one that worked really well for calls and data.
Is there a newer version out there I can flash? Perhaps one from the new froyo updates T-Mo is sending out? Please help, I've tried to search a little but with no success. I work 7 days a week and am pressed on time. I don't even have time to make custom themes for myself like I used to in WinMo.

Be Honest- Serious Question !
we are all like a one global family participatig in various topics from basic to an advanced level and we should be very happy and accept the fact that atleast on this matter we all try and thrieve to help one another as well as nicely rebuke anyone not doing the groung work before asking any question.
Its all well an good.
Now the more serious matter and please be honest. I will make a start by admitting that ever since I bought Android phone, I ended up spending more time flashing roms after rom and radios and what nowt! My life partner also noticed that I am spendig more time hooking that phone to bloody computer than actually putting up to me ear. She thought phone was more dear to me!
What does your partner think? We might have to srart councelling services for the worse ones!
I'm single, so no problem. : D
But, I don't think I'll be flashing my Hero often. I'm starting to appreciate actually using the phone rather than updating it all the time.
no problem here ...
I flashed my Hero twice, the new Stock ROM and last week the new radio ... and I'm very happy with how it works.
Flashing on a daîly or weekle basis is something for freaks, who like to play. I've different playgrounds
Next time I flash will be Android 2.0 from HTC, until then I use it as a phone and enjoy all the nice apps
P.S. My favorite: OruxMaps, now with Geocaching features
My girl simply loves my hero, first of all she loves playing with it lol
No but with my previous phone (htc diamond) I changed roms more often because it simply didn't work as good as my hero. Als I had a lot more problems
with programs making a hard reset the only way out.
The only update I did was the oficial rom update, don't see the needfor a custom rom (not saying those are wrong or something, kudos to the people who cook them!)
So to be honest; I had my diamond connected to my pc far more often then my hero does. And when bluetooth is fully supported I don't see any need to connect it to
the pc.
I bought the Wife a Hero as well.
I do the experimenting and she gets to share the positives.
To be honest, I only did a couple of ROM updates and was happy with it. Once I found out that HTC are going to be shipping a 2.0 sooner or later, I just can't be bothered...

Using my Hero out of the box and the only update I did was the official 2.73 update. It's nice having something that "Just works" after spending a difficult year with the Diamond.
To be honest.... I came from a diamond too. With that said I flash a lot at first with it, but then I found a good Rom that worked. After that I got involved in the Android diamond port. And since I was a cdma user. Let's just say I spent more time in emulators, compiling and telnet then using the phone. Now I got a hero and everything works. I spent the first week on irc tryin to get it root. Now its root and I couldn't ask for more then 2.0.
Back to the subject though. My wife I believe likes my hero. I only fiddle with apps mostly now. She knows I love my phone and I know she's jealous of my phone. But only cuz she's stuck with an LG dare on Verizon.
My Wife thinks I am addicted to mobiles????? ................ ok I think I am too.
I have been happish on the official HTC ROM until a few days ago when I finally broke and rooted and flashed a cooked ROM to solve the Bluetooth issues I had.
Now its a dream and I wont flash it again until the official HTC 2.0.
Before I had a Diamond and an X1 and yes my wife was getting very frustrated that once a week a least I would lose an entire night or day of a weekend flashing and the setting up the phone again.
iPhone sorted that out but I got bored of the lack of customisation so off I went again to Android.
At least now I only rebuild once every few months so she is happer!

In my experience, I had my last phone hooked up to the computer a lot more (HTC Touch/Vogue.) I imagine this has to do with the closed nature of Windows vs the open nature of Android. Android is a lot easier for a ROM cook to work with, I would imagine. Also, the flashing process itself is far easier on the Hero, once it's rooted. At least IMO.
More topic specific, my gf has no problem with my phone addictedness as I mostly geek around with it while I'm at work.
hardly surprising responses from everyone! only a phone-o-phile would regularily visit a discussion forum about phones...
and yes my missus is constantly referring to my phone as my mistress. it almost always shares the bed with us and is the last thing I look at before I fall asleep...
All my previous WM units took a LOT of time.
But my Hero just works - all standard (rooted though), and upgraded of course.
No need to flash anything here
Not got my Hero yet, but my gf has been complaining that im 'obsessing' over it... but it should now be at home waiting for me when i get in today YEAY!
when i first got it, i spent loads of time flashing it, but now ive found a decent rom and radio that gives good batt life and reception, im happy
the next time ill flas it will be with the 2.0 hero rom.
you just need to find a rom that youre happy with
Man i got my Hero around 1 week ago and i have not stopped playing with it since, i flashed the Modaco rom, but after a couple of days flashed back to the most recent stock rom, due to problems with the gsensor. I have rooted he phone and i now spend most of my time installing apps!
I just cant put the Hero down!
Hey everyone, I've currently been using a Mytouch 3g and well I need a phone with a keyboard lol I just like the faster response keyboard phones have. So I was wondering which would be a better buy if I wanted a phone with a keyboard that operates on android....
morola cliq G1 or (??) if there's another one that runs android?
Also if I did decide to get the cliq, would i be able to still rom it like i did my MT3G?
thanks for your help
For T-Mobile There is also the Behold 2. I don't know if you will still be able to flash roms. You don't be able to flash roms from this site because this is for htc phones. You are going to have to find another forum. I don't know if you will be able to find ROM's of such high quality that you will find here, however.
yeah that's what i figured, i just love having a phone with a keyboard. Is there anything else like the G1 that can still be rom'd
for t-mobile? No. The G1 and MyTouch are the only HTC devices for t-mobile with Android.
Hi everyone,
I'm new to Android having got my HTC Tattoo during the week.
I'm wondering if there is any way to get Android 2 (Eclair) onto my Tattoo? I've googled for it but there's only instructions for the Hero.
I don't care if its a vanilla ROM without Sense UI. I'm just looking for an update to help improve battery life and bluetooth functionality (plus I like to have all the latest versions of things ).
I emailed HTC about it and they said they couldn't confirm if the Tattoo was getting the update (which probably means it won't...)
Also, I'd rather not use a buggy beta ROM .
Thanks in advance,
Keith
PS: I know people managed to get a V2 ROM onto the G1 by rooting but I presume it's differen for the Tattoo because the different screen size, addition of FM radio etc.
Hi got a q/ ,im thinking of buying the Hd2 and wanted to ask how stable and reliable is Android on this phone (cuz i dont like wm6/7) ???
and plz dont make this into an android vs wm7 bash thread,tnx.

I used to hate WM6.5 until I discovered Dutty's roms but I still dabbled in Android and didn't enjoy it.
However, I am running MDJ's Cyanogen ROM (the one that appears to be abandoned?) and have no issues. 2ma on standby with wireless/data/BT etc. turned off. even with them on it is pretty damn good.
Will never go back to WM6.5 (sorry Dutty).
Oh, and despite a few horror stories I have never pulled the battery, had a crash or freeze and I have all my GPS, contacts calendar etc. working perfectly.
Played with my daughters Orange San Fran 2.1 last night and it was horrendously slow; made me realise just how quick and responsive the HD2 is running Android.
Go on, move over to Android.
I highly recommend the HD2, especially for flashing Android.
Coming from a Samsung Vibrant (already on Android), I traded it just to put android on the HD2.
I have been running wih my HD2 for 3 years now with WM6.5x on orange in the UK& various OS upgrades from members here ......
Looking for a suitable replacement that is not an Iphone all suugestions welcome
Many Thanks in Advance
why replace?
I recomed you just install any os you like WP7 or Andoriod GB? read inside on how to do so. HD2 hardware is magnificient can run anything.
As recommended try any nand build, I use the coreDroid 1.7 its fast very stable and easy to use, the best bit is that its very well supported with Guys who are willing to go the last mile to help you set it up and iron out any issues
Definitely worth putting either a WM7.5 or Droid ROM on and waiting until early next year when quite a few new devices will be out running Android 4.0. I'm amazed you have been running one for 3 years! It was only released in UK pretty much 2 years ago to the day. ;-)
The same position
Hi guys,
I'm running my Rolls-Royce from almost 2 years and I'm wondering which next device will be as good as this one and with the same possibilities...
All we know the HTC Sensation or Samsung SII are not revolutionary as our HTC HD2 was 2 years ago.
How much time we have to wait to see 1.5-2 MHz processors ?
Thanks for new ideas.
Kindest Regards

I am running on it for past one year (Nand GB) and satisfied with its versatility.How ever I dropped it in river once and since then some problem or the other keep on appearing.I am thinking for a replacement - Galaxy note.Although Galaxy Nexus is a close competition , I would choose note for its screen if it can be upgraded later to ICS.
I'd wait.
I would wait. The HTC Titan looks promising and it's running a 1.5, but it seems massive when you read the specs, but then again, so did the HD2 when it first came out.
I'm not sure what I will do when my phone eventually dies. I've been running various versions of HyperDroid since I made the switch to NAND 6 months ago. I'm very happy that I did. I was never pleased with the various custom windows ROMS out there.
Stick with your HD2 if it's still in good shape. Flash HyperDroid v5.3. It's smooth and stable and runs quite fast. I haven't tried any other NAND ROM simply because I have been so pleased with HyperDroid and the wealth of information and support behind it.
YMMV of course. Each HD2 runs unique. My wife's HD2 runs completely different on the same ROMs.
3 years? it only came out in nov 2009
I was getting tired of WM6.5 on my HD2 aswell. But flashing it with Android made me cheer up. Android with up to date apps is way better than the crappy build phone service provider has in stock.
