I use to have an iphone, than I switched to the HTC Magic running android and this will be my first WINMO phone.
My question is, whats the difference between the tmobile version of this phone compared to the other versions?
Do you guys reccomend WINMO or Android? is there any stable android roms for the hd2?
Mines stable. Even more if you disable the G-Sensor.
Who says you can't have both? I got an Energy WM Rom and running Bangsters V1.2a Android build.
Id rather just stick to one. In your opinion do you think Android or WinMO is better for this device?
well you really dont have a choice. There is currently no way to flash to NAND so WINMO will stay as the main OS on the phone but as was mentioned before you can run Android 2.2 from your SD card but the experience isnt really like having a true android phone. Development has come a long way but I still suspect we are about another month away from a completely stable,,no bugs, fully compatible ROM. Heck maybe in a month we will have access to NAND. As for ROM to use in WinMo its really up to you and there are alot of great ones out there. Just do some research and find which on suits your needs.
make you a deal. how about some free help, free of charge.
depends on what you are looking for. if you take the time to configure your phone correctly, you can have an extremely fast and reliable winmo device. i have altered my set up almost every possible way and i cant think of anything faster and more solid than this phone with sense diabled and using a lean custom rom.
i also occasionally run android, but more for fun. it works but it isnt nearly as reliable as winmo, currently.
what help do you need?

Damn I guess Ill stick to Win Mo in the meantime, I just dont like how you cant multi task as well.
What radio config do you reccomend?
I have been looking at energy's Max Sense UI and Elegancia's Max Sense UI.
Any suggestions/advices?

i recommend looking at my signature, thats what i run and it aint changing anytime soon.
should we all pick a specific winmo build and radio and test our android builds on it?
that way we can pinpoint the issues easier.
because as of now theres about a dozen different winmo builds running under android and the whole ****load of issues were having with android gets blamed on different radio and winmo builds.
can we kinda get our sht together( the users not the developers and cooks) and participate a lil more in this? at least by submitting productive reviews of the android build we use.
and having same exact winmo build and radio would im sure help alot in tracking down the problems that we re having.
i mean does it take alot to agree on one winmo build at least untill android is able to boot itsself up without winmo.
because as everyone can see,
even though the cooks claim to have no problems, we still get problems with pretty much everything, happening on random phones, and im assuming part of the reason is using different winmo builds.
i agree. there are many good winmo builds. and a great number of them run flawlessly with android. however its always a good idea to run what the developer is running. as i have been using the 'standard' energy build with 2.12.50 and have still been encountering strange issues like settings not being present on my phone (froyostone)
id personally like to hear what the developers think is the best winmo base rom.
and have everyone who wishes to run android and participate in bug reporting etc. to switch over to the chosen winmo rom.
would make life easier. +1 to the OP
I pretty much keep quiet in these forums but think this is a great idea. I'm using radio 2.12.50.02_2 which I've found as best and Elegencia V2.0 Final WWE rom.
Maybe we can force some sort of format to be used when stating an issue? Region, carrier, WinMo rom and version, settings changed, Android build? Maybe we should vote on a main rom for WinMo ment just for Android, with an active chef, that way we can iron out the bugs.
a group effort would help alot i think, since we all technically testing the builds we might as well be a bit more organized as HD2 users since it would benefit all of us by speeding up the android development.
i havent been diggin thru this phone long enough to know the whole system, maybe one of the cooks or few cooks can get together and bake an apropriate android winmo rom so we can all use it as a reference.
since most of android users/ testers run android daily without going to windows much i dont think anyone would suffer from running a stripped winmo build.
and once the robot can breathe on its own we can then focus on stability with different winmo builds, if that would be needed at all.
that involves cooks as well, i know you guys are running your own builds and all
but it would be a lil harder for us users to switch winmo builds for every different version of android that is coming out, because theres a new andy build almost every day.
if we could pick one and update it when needed????
well i see there are couple roms that are made for android,
i personally been using chunkyrom for all my androids
and seen alot of them beeing used as well.
can someone list the roms so i can make a poll
As stated earlier, just follow the setup the developer is using and you minimise any issues.
Personally I think a specific rom will be useful in trouble shooting.
But personally I cant stand most of the winmo rom's I dont use it very often but Incase something isnt working I need a rom that i can switch to and everything works.
I've tried chucky ive tried miri and both didnt work out. Honestly I am more versed in android than I am in winmo. So when I had problems with data connection Id revert back to energy.
So id have to vote for any energy based rom with working tethering!
Sorry, I dont think this is ever gonna work. I use my own WM ROM that I cooked myself, it has been stable for the last 6 months and I really cont be bothered faffing around changing the rom as it is exactly how I like it. The hardcore flashers may just about go with this but I actually have to use winmo quite heavily for work.
I have played about with the radio but still prefer the old 2.08 because it works best for me on my carrier where I live, but for someone else a different radio will be better for them. See where I am going with this?
I don't think it'd be a good idea, personally. One of the things I love about these android builds, and the wm roms, is the available choices. (But I also love tinkering with things, so it could just be a personal preference.)

Same for me, Energy roms are the only winmo rom's that I haven't had issues with so I vote for energy based roms.
you guys dont understand, nobody is forcing you to stay with one,
all im sayig is to pick one while the android is in development stage, that way we know that the problems are coming from android and not winmo build since we use same build, or how about 3 builds that we can pick and stick to it untill we get android on main memory working, then you can all go back to any winmo build,
if you dont want to participate like i said nobody is forcing you , im simply suggesting this in hopes of speeding up the development since with same build we can actually trace the problems easier than having 30 random problems with different builds that are not even related to android.
so far i ve seen alot of chunky roms and energy roms used with android.
is there another popular roms there so i can list them in the poll
+1 .... Energy barebone for use andriod as an everyday OS radio 2.12.50

This could be problematic when you consider that the ROMS being developed on are made for different phones, different version of WinMo, and different carriers. Each variation has the potential to change the quality of the outcome.
How about this instead. The cook develops the A-ROM on whatever W-ROM meets the cooks requirements and releases it. The cooks part is done. People can either use it or wait until a test group tests it against a base W-ROM.
For those who want testing before using an A-ROM, then a stripped down base W-ROM can be developed in minimal variations (device, OS, carrier) for the end users to test against.
This way cooks get what they want, bleeding edge users get what they want and those less willing to chance a balky phone get what they want.
I'm all for standardizing, but trying to limit a cooks options is not the way to go. In fact, it totally defeats the whole purpose of what they are doing.
some input from developers would be of great help. since they know more about the workings of the systems.
im just assuming that this might help.
if it would great im willing to use a single rom for all my andro builds since i dont ever go back there( like dos)
a good example would be battery life.
im running the new Nexus One Android 2.2 Build FRG33
and today my battery went down by only 1/4th all day in standby,
then another user reports that his battery leaks out like water.
OK, after much patience and living with all the Windoze BS, I am considering re-flashing my HD2 to Android.
I currently run the Artemis ROM (Windows) and like it because all the bloatware crap that is usually in the ROMs has been removed and replaced with a miimal array of useful system features. That's what I look for in a ROM.
I know this question is frowned upon but I still need to ask... Considering my desire for a clean and fast minimalistic ROM, what are the best choices available in the Android world?
Thanks

look at hyperdroid or darkstone's new ram build, heard it was fast.
i used to be a fan of those fast builds but i tried mdj froyo hd build and im not looking back. sure its a little slower at times but i am a fan after the camera fix.
I think you will like hyperdroid butits kind of old ... anyhow I do recommend that you check any froyo builds since those seem to run much smoother and fluid then any sense I trie so far... waiting the 4gb card to start testing other builds but hyper paired with energy 2.5 gtx winmo rom ad 2.15.50.14 radio gives me great battery life (3-6mA) in standby of course.
Btw u cannot flash android on hd2 but put it on and run it from sd card... cheers and good luck

I am running the Nexus One HD2 build on my phone and it works amazing...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793924
At the bottom of the first post, the developer posted a spreadsheet of the combos that are working...
I have two HD2's and using different combos... Two recommendations
1) get an SD card that is Class 4 or 6... Stay away from Class 2 as they have been linked with issues
2) if you get it to work.. Dont mess it with it anymore. leave it alone, I have messed up so many times doing this.. if it's not broken, dont fix it.
Welcome to the hd2 android world! I bet you won't regret it.
Considering your choices (i was a long artemis user before), you have indeed the nexus one option, not sense builds. I prefer to use a third option, the miui roms. good new is that changing build is easy like changing a folder. Have fun!
It doesn't get anymore minimalist than darkstone's new SuperRam. He shrunk that system file down to 55mb to load it in a ramdisk. It's extremely fast and completely plain froyo. I'd give that one a go first if I were you. Nice thing about not having nand, you don't have to flash anything, you don't have to mess with your winmo one bit if you don't want to.
The other one you might try if you want a bit more bells and whistles is the HD2One Cyanogen 6.1 rom, it's more current than Hyperdroid. I think hyperdroid hasn't been updated for quite a while.
I'm slowly but surely falling for the siren song of Android on my HD2. However, I'm kind of spoiled by the NRGZ28 ROM's with all that CHT 2.0 and sencity goodness. I've tried out some of the SD-card Android ROM's (courtesy NRG's easy as pie launcher) but I find myself missing some of the functionality I've become so used to on WM6.5. The home screen. The weather apps. Other stuff. Taken each by themselves it doesn't seem like much, but taken all together and -- incredibly -- I start missing WM6.5.
Can someone advise me (and others) who really enjoy the super nice NRG ROM's with all their slick UI's what's the best Android ROM to start playing with? WM6.5 looks very nice with Sense, but the same Sense on Android looks pretty plain. The Android marketplace shows the WM marketplace for the joke it is, but I just can't get over missing some of the cool features in Sense.
Any advice or suggestions are completely welcome.
Thank you!
yeaandrandroid ruined my touchscreen. There are many builds ,most are rushed. none polished. be warned
I'd flash a Desire HD build. They are the probably the best thing android can offer IMO. Look for Mdeejays Froyo HD 4.6 it's what I use and it has been alright for me.
NRG energy roms are beast and probably is the only bright light of WM on our device.. still dont know why people are so quick to throw WM down when i feel like I'm running two different phones when im on WM (WM being the superior device)
Android just doesnt feel as swift as WM does with an energy rom.
Must give you a heads up.. MMS on android is a pain in the butt and there are several upon several threads with so many apn's.. i just switch to WM to handle that because its as easy as breathing.
i dont know whats missing
I have no idea what is missing in Android sense that winmo has. Android has the weather, clock, album, music, mail, internet is fast but not as fast as opera but atleast it supports full flash. Well I was never a hardcore fan of winmo so maybe my opinion is biased and I might be forgetting something as I haven't used winmo in 4 months or so.

If you still like winmo, then why not keep it? You can have winmo and android on your phone. I'm playing around with nand android right now, but I plan on going back to winmo and running android off sd... the way I see it, nand doesn't improve android enough to want to get rid of the ability to run multiple os's on it. That's what makes the HD2 special... If I wanted a phone that just ran android off nand and that's it, I would've gotten a native android phone. But to each his own... we have lot's of choices with the HD2.
Just caught your post as I was pondering a move to Android. I have also been running NRG's CHT for a while and been very happy.
Decided to go ahead anyway, flashed the Desire ROM, and it's interesting. Some things are familiar, other things are not. Android seems to be working a bit differently than WM, in that there isn't a 'close' button, and I don't like having to puch the key to get back to my home screen every time, but there's probably an app for that.
On the whole, I can see how 'Droid is a boon for those new to more sophisticated smart phones, but for those of us who have been running WM for a while, there don't seem to be any surprises as we've already been spoiled by having this sort of functionality.
The real reason I'm strongly considering moving to Android is that Microsoft has pretty much left us at a dead end. I had a considerable investment in software for WM 6.x but knowing in advance that WM7 was going to leave me out in the cold, my last software purchases have been from developers who have apps in both platforms, such as CoPilot and PocketInformant.
Anyway, all I can suggest is to use a good backup program like Sprite or SPB backup, archive your Energy ROM and give Android a shot. The worst that can happen is you flash back. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

The main reason I'm looking to move to Android is the availability of apps. The WM Marketplace was a total joke before WP7 came out and killed WM6.5. Now nobody in their right mind is going to spend any time developing anything cool for WM6.5. All the new apps are either iPhone or Android.
I figure in a year, maybe less, there'll be no worthwhile apps for WM6.5 at all (not that there are many now). I'd rather eat dirt than have an iPhone, so the sooner I get on the Android bandwagon the more familiar I'll be with it when it fully hits its stride.
Hi Prisoner881, I just wanted to say that I felt exactly like you mate. I'd trawl xda every day or 2 to see how the Andriod NAND build was coming along (never wanted to do the SD Card Android - too much mither for me). I was getting really miffed with the Marketplace - very few new apps and expensive too.
So 3 days ago I decided to take the plunge. My phone is with Vodafone and I had the 1.66 ROM on it.
So I followed mskips instructions to install Android (using Cortulla's Desire build) and it took about 30 minutes in total to do everything without a glitch. I got to say man, I'm blown away with it. Once you get used to the differences, I haven't even thought about Winmo. There are so many quality free apps, it's just stunning.
One thing to bear in mind is, if you have an EU HD2, you don't have much memory left to install stuff (about 120MB). You can get around this by Rooting the Andriod phone (really easy) then installing Move2SD (free from the Market). Then most apps you download will go directly to the SD card and if they don't it is easy to move them.
I've installed roughly 50 apps so far, still got over 30mb free on my phone.
There is also another chef creating a NAND build based on Cortulla's which is trimmed down (removing some of the crap that I'll never use). This should give a lot more space when it's fully ready
I'd go for it dude as I can't put the damned phone down now (even my iPhone obsessed missus is jealously looking on )
well a year has passed on this thread and having been a long time NRG WM6.5 Rom user with CHT2 customisation and all the right apps to make the device perfect, i have just picked up a couple of Sensation XE handsets to replace our HD2's.
Whilst the Android Marketplace has a huge amount of apps, some apps just arent available for WM6.5 and offer some degree of incentive to make the switch.
I have toyed around with SD Android builds but none were compelling enough to be more than eye candy and interesting alternative OS for my HD2s.
The primary functions i had running on my HD2 were shared calendars with Outlook allowing my wife and i to see family schedules.(using Nuevasync which is an excellent service) and push email via the Carriers branded Sevenmail app.
Since receiving my Sensation XE the UI is slick and im working towards finding practical solutions to replacing my WM6.5 apps.
However the biggest initial hurdle is the lack of Outlook contacts sync. I am trying the HTC Sync application but its too early to tell whether this will be suffient or not.
How have other NRG rom users managed their migration to the Android platform?
In my humble opinion, sense is pointless on Android. In WM we *needed* lots of overlays and tweaks just to make the OS usuable (have you ever turned sense off in WM? Its terrible!), but in Android we don't need all this. We can install an alternative launcher if we want, or keep it stock with it still looking good.
As for moving to Android, that was simply 'keeping with the times' and 'because I could'
Anyway, I wouldn't recommend installing a sense ROM because Android doesn't need it, its a resource hog, its not as pretty as the WM version, and if you're using an EU handset it takes up too much space. Of course you may fall in love with it, this is just my experience.
I ended up trying CyanogenMod after bidding farewell to sense, and loved all the extra functionality. However I found it just wasn't 'pretty' enough.
So along came MIUI, who swiftly gave me all the answers. It's got nice eye-candy (with built in theme manager and HUNDREDS of themes to choose from, some even sense like), fast, customisable, weekly updates, and has some cool features (set the music app to turn off after a few hours so it can lull you to sleep, built-in data managing on a per-app, per-connection and global basis, lock editing the phone/viewing call logs to show people the phone, auto-arrange items on home screen, literally too much to mention)
To summarise - it's all about your preference, but don't think sense is the only way to go.
I recently also did the swap from the Energy WM ROM to the Energy Android NAND ROM and for now I must say that I love the Android.
The connectivity to Windows PC & sync was almost perfect before with WM ROM but there have also been many problems & issues.
If you can live with the camcorder resolution issue on the Android ROM then the only thing you have to decide is with which bootloader to go.
I first went with the MAGLDR but then realized the missing battery loading function when phone is off. So I went with cLK (which has the data dropping thing, which they will hopefully be able to change away from PPP connection).
But anyhow, I should have done the switch to the NRG Android ROM much earlier as this system is so much faster, stable and the community with apps and infos is just blowing.
Many thanks goes to the chief NRG for his time & work.
Hi,
I was just curious about which OS is used the most, and which OS is used the least. Please submit your vote, so we can get an as accurate as possible picture. By Daily driver I mean which OS you're using right now to text, call and just use for your daily life.
A short list of the options and their definitions:
Stock Windows Mobile 6.5.x - You're using the stock rom that came with the device, or an official update.
Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.x - You've flashed a custom rom like Energy rom. Chances are you're changing the rom on a regular basis.
Android SD/RAM - You're running Android old school from your SD card, or you're using a RAM build.
Android NAND - You're using the latest and greatest NAND (Internal memory) build(s) out there!
Windows Phone 7 - You're loyal to Microsoft and decided to flash Redmond's latest and greatest.
Ubuntu - You decided a mobile OS just wasn't good enough, and you gave your HD2 a full desktop/netbook experience! Unlikely you're using this on a daily basis though
MeeGo - You're using MeeGo. I'm not sure if it's possible, as it hasn't been released yet, but it's worth a shot.
- If you're dualbooting, just choose the main one.
I'm curious what the results might be. I'm currently using Windows Phone 7 for texting, calling, some gaming and just for the general experience. I've also partitioned half of my SD card for Darkstone SuperRAM, just for Angry Birds and Scooter Hero. I think most people are using a Android NAND build by now though.
Android SD/RAM - Utterly smooth, I haven't changed builds for five weeks because I have no problems with this. First time my phone has been flawless in the 24 months I've had it (I'm including the Blackstone days! ).
I am very keen to go NAND. I'm just waiting until the ROMs have had a month under their belt so they are watertight. I would normally be flashing like mad, but I'm just too happy with my phone for now.
Not too interested in WP7. If it was as easy as switching memory cards, I'd probably give it a week's fair chance. But I think Android's got my heart!
ROM: Evo's Black&Blue remix
PAST Windows Phone 7 - Was using it but after 2 days I decided to change back to Winmo becouse it had too much limitations to my country and I didn't want to use an other Windows Live profile, but it is a great development. When it is better and available in my county I'm definitely going to use it. I have an key already . Try the chat-support if you're afraid to call
STOCK Windows Mobile 6.5 - Back to stock, it is OK but not perfect. See my Windows Phone 7 story why Windows Mobile. Why the stock version? I want to keep my warranty and Android SD builds are good enough for me.
Android SD/RAM - You don't need NAND when you use RAM builds. It's very fast. Android is good and I like it, when i'm going to put Windows Phone 7 next time on my phone I definitely putting Android on SD as well on my phone. The best combination ever.
Sorry for poor english
Looks like it's between android NAND and WP7 now
I used WP7 but am going back to Android right now... WP7 needs more work from Redmond before I might give it another chance.
Been off-line a couple of months.. Carnt believe all the new developments..
Iv just been running the Core Series ever since i got my Leo.
Sergio76 from the Core Cell Team has been working hard on their first CoreDroid HD NAND version. All i can say is your all in for a big surprise!!
Check my sig if you not familiar with Sergio76's work.
I used winmo stock for the first 3 weeks i had my Leo. Just while i got my head around the differences from my diamond. Then flashed an Energy 6.5.x build and not looked back (that was almost a year ago). I've used a couple of android SD builds and i came to the conclusion that it wasn't for me. It feels like an open source iphone for teenagers. Hell, i've used my sisters desire with the stock rom and the feel of the whole phone was lacking compared to my HD2.
This poll is a good idea there is just one problem with it. Android users are very vocal about their love of the operating system. Winmo users tend to be much less so. I think this has a lot to do with the user bases age range (ie alot older than most android users). I also think it has something to do with the original demographic Windows CE was aimed at - IT professionals. Winmo has grown from this and taken people like me with it. I find the integration and compatibility with the windows based networks i run to be the best feature of windows mobile and i'm yet to achieve that using android (and not for want of trying either).
I will try out WP7 but i'm waiting for the february update first. Copy/paste is a must for me.
using android nand atm. so far its awesome! battery life is great, runs really smooth and its pweety :3
i havent tested wp7 yet, although i really want to. Maybe when i have the time next week...
I'm still using nandroid at the moment although already bought a new sdcard to use for WP7. The reason I haven't moved to wp7 yet because I'm so questioning why there is no support from Cotulla, DFT and other Developers (they've disappeared since wp7 on hd2 issued) !!! Probably they're working hard for a better WP7 version, or they can't reach any more progress for WP7 on HD2, or some other reasons. Who knows???
BTW, my nandroid from RaiderX303 is really good now, so I'll wait to see what will happen to wp7 so that i can decide move to wp7 or not!
You guys just try out webbrowsing on wp7
I tried WP7 on my HD2 but could not get past the Live Services verification step. I've given up for now but I absolutely loved the interface and the web browsing. It made me seriously think about getting an HD7 as my next phone until I realised nothing is as open and moddable as Android. I've switched back to Android 2.3 on NAND.
Edit: Finally SUCCESS!!! I got the verification. Going to try WP7 for a while. A seriosuly annoying thing is that some apps that are free on Android Market are charged on WP7 Marketplace.
Last 2 days, I've used WP7 inc. live services and Android on SD Duel Boot. The best thing about WP7 is the smoothness of the OS although the multitouch sucks compared to Android.
I'm most likely gonna go back to Nandroid and use SD to test other Android builds.
So basically a duel boot android/android.
WP7 for me, well at least for the last four days...here is why
GPS...Instant no waiting at all for a fix, using Endomondo for running, the route is spot on, best i have ever seen on any of my other phones, or even this HD2 running WM to Android.
SOUND...the sound quality, through headphones on WP7 is second none, why on eaarth its so much better than Android I really don't know and the ZUNE player and online stuff is simply fantastic
OFFICE...miles better than WM office, Android office apps just don't cut it
GAMES...try Harvest wow can't believe my HD2 is actually running this. loads more to try, also loving AlphaJAX bit like scrabble and wordsmith on Android only slicker.
INTERFACE...slick super fast, makes Android and WM on the HD2 seem antiquated
SOCIAL...the people update is simply perfect, facebook and twitter apps never look so good, loving the swiping about
KEYBOARD...never used such a easy to use keyboard, not sure why its so much better, I can type faster then on swipe, weird
Camera and Video... well this is hands down miles better than anything else for the HD2, did some filming at the weekend and the clarity is amazing
CALENDAR...quick easy and perfect for me to add and adjust my busy schedule
PHONE and SMS...sound quality and signal just work
Ok there are few teething problems but hopefully between XDA and Microsoft these will improve, ie...cut/paste, flash would be nice, but uses to much of my 3g allowance, Multitasking not that it needs it, it runs so fast, but perhaps being able to run my online radio with the brilliant rescoradio and do other things would be nice, otherwise you can have music running all the time and do other things, lets see what happens...
BTW you should cross MeeGo, 'cause it's not been released yet, not even a beta.
I'm using an Activated WP7
Lately I've been running MDJ Gingerbread CM7 flashed from recovery. I like being able to quickly create a clockworkmod backup, swap sd card, then flash WP7 or ubuntu just to mess around with. Afterward I can just flash back clockworkmod, stick my other sd card back in, restore and go right back to gingerbread.
Looking at the poll results thusfar, it seems that the HD2 has to be called an android phone xD
well, my hd2 runs on custom wm. have been jumping between energy and dutty rom. I must say both are equally good and rock stable. But i decided to stay with dutty because his comes with chinese input. tried andriod SD but it's eating battery as if it's free! so decided to stay with wm.

You forgot to include on the poll Windows 98 and 95 both running on Leo too

Perhaps a Senior Mod can add this ones

Actually, knowingly didn't add them as they don't support phone functions so they can't be used as a daily driver.
Guys using Stock Windows Mobile 6.5.x on device like HD2 don't deserve to be on XDA
