Evo ROM or DesireHD ROM?

I am pretty new to here, still trying to learn Andriod on HD2, just wondering what is the major difference between DesireHD and Evo ROM on HD2? what are the pros and cons?
Thanks!

i would recommend EVO builds. I don't know why but all Desire HD build i have tried, they were so laggy.

I also prefer evo. Also next time, open a thread like this in Q&A section.

Thanks, I will post the question to Q&A next time....

the desire hd builds are better because they have the new htc sense which i find to be a lot cooler than the evo sense. android 2.3 will probably have the new sense anyways though, so it wont matter soon anyways

I personally find myself reverting back to my Evo builds on a regular basis... I have several different sd cards including 2 class 6 cards and i always seem to experience lag and screen locks on hd desire builds... I experience no problems with evo roms. I just enjoy trying new roms no matter how they run. I will probably go back to an hd desire build again once i can load it from NAND .

try EVO build first... it is much stable than HD builds... then when you get boring flash and try HD builds... it has cool new features... that is what i did...
now im happy with hd build (coreHD) less laggy than other builds..

evo but next time post in HD2 Android General Discussion forums this side for devs

can give example which is EVO rom?
*too many weird name there
thanks....

My hd2 not accept any other rom version than the one that are available to me. I've done HSPL, Radio is 2.10 ..... 50_2, and everything else should be fine, yet my phone is still growing HTC logo, for example, if you start Desire HD's firmware in the card.

Neither (personal preference)

Did you allow it to create a data image or add one to the Android folder? Sometimes you have to give it anywhere from 2 minutes to 20. Anything over 20 reformat the sd card and try again.

Let me pile on, the DesireHD ROMs just aren't there yet. The new HTC Sense items in DesireHD are really nice, but not worth the long lag times.
I've tested a lot of ROMs. The one in my sig has been by far the best combination for me. It's almost as zippy as the EVO (my daughter and wife have EVOs). What impresses me most about the ROM I'm using is it doesn't get bogged down with multitasking as much as other ROMs.
Most ROMs are fairly quick on first load. Then they quickly bog down when you load up accounts and apps. FRG83.MCCM IR V1.7.1(Incredible) with hastarin r8.5.1 kernel stays responsive.

Offcourse HD builds, much more smooth browser and goodies in magnificent text selector.
For me the browser experience is the most think to decide my choice......I wasn't using HD builds at moment because the camera faults, but now I am.

[Q] Thinking about taking the Android Plunge!

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.

Request changes to available builds.

This thread was originally created by nturk. It was by his request that I took control of this thread as the OP.
This thread is for users to make requests to the Developers bringing us these great Builds/ROM's. This is the place to ask for a feature to be added/removed/changed in any Build/ROM.
This is not the place to ask for a personal ROM or build to be built for you. This thread is for requests like "Can you add a File Manager to your build" or "Can you add more themes to your build" or "Can we get this build with original theme".
Ask away..
PS> This thread is in no way endorsed by the Developers and your requests are just that - Requests. There is no guarantee expressly implied that you will/will not get an answer. Also, if you make a request, please do not spam the thread asking over and over and once your request is posted here, DO NOT post it in the original thread.

i think we need a request thread.Please send your requests to this thread instead of flooding the threads i want this and i want that.All the threads are clearly marked with what they are.LOTS OF RESPECT TO THE DEVELOPERS AND THE MODERATORS they are doing excellent work,and its a hard work as it is.

I will leave this open for now. I think that this thread could be useful but I have mixed feelings about threads like this so lets see how it plays out.

I am wondering if Android has a panoramic camera option and if that could be added to future builds in general.

can all builds be 2 in 1 or 3 in 1
sd/ram/nand

for instance if you have NAND build that means you will only have one build that means you wont have winmo either.only android (rom) that is.because you have to flash nand.but if you have ram or sd builds then you can use together alone with the winmo.that is winmo/sd or winmo/ram

no you misunderstand me i know all that i`m just frighten that nand will kill my love sd build

I would love to see the new nand roms come with options to install to nand or sd. I've come to a point that I'm pretty happy with jdms in the nand since it's very stable, low battery and has no voice quality issues. Still, I want to try other builds without flashing out what I'm using now. So magldr boot to sd would be a great way for everybody to try out new stuff before flashing it.

if you are happy with what you have for time being stick to it matei think the NAND is still in too early stages.hopefully devs are working on it.i have winmo with sd revolution hd by mdj at the moment which i am very happy with it,i will stick to this time being

Not sure if it goes here, but custom or true WiFi MAC address would be great. Root for desire hd builds. Gingerbread or Droid x keyboard support for all builds

it will be nice if the devs also carry on with sd and ram versions.they are working on NAND at the moment.on the sd and ram versions were few minor glitches and same glitches also occurring in nand versions.if they can concentrate on sd and ram versions and perfect them i suppose they can use them on the NAND version without any problems or glitches.
and also if the devs can use latest ruu for their NAND builds,it will be right up to date

[Q] Basic questions about Android and its 31 flavors

Hello. I have been following XDA since my first HTC phone the HTC Touch Pro 2. I was impressed by an ex girlfriends HTC phone when I had to dismantle and replace its screen. My current gf now owns that phone. I have been flashing my phones for quite some time and especially love the energy roms. Recently I have been much more busy with my career and life and have left behind many of my former passions (like wow). I have an HD2 and have just flashed it to a "rafdroid" build since it had HTC sense and seemed somewhat familiar. I already have to say I love the Android build. But I do have some questions that are beyond what I have had time to read up on. First off it is slow, really slow. I know I am doing an "SD" build which means I am running the OS off of my storage card. I assume that has a lot to do with it. I am ready to give up my windows build completely but hope it lends a hand in speed. I used to flash all of the time but have really grown comfortable with the SBP shell interface. I realize Andoid could be a lot more but I really want a beautiful snappy build that my phone can stand up to. When I bought the HD2 it was the phone to have but that has been a while now. What I am really looking for is advice as to is it worth it to leave a dying OS behind with my current phone (now that I have a family I am stuck with the same toys for a while) and how can I optimize it to its maximum ability. Also I haven't really even looked into it but can I flash my girlfriend's TP2 to a fast stable Android build as well? I do Windows support for a living and have always been a Windows guy but have recently become frustrated with its inability to share information such as calendars and tasks without an Exchange server (which is a given at work). I have began using Gmail and its associated apps more and more and so far am colored impressed. Any advice is appreciated and I know I could eventually dig up all of the info given enough time (but I am sneaking on the PC right now as the kids sleep). It seems logical that a non "SD build" would be a lot faster but before I lose my Windows GUI can someone confirm? Thank you again.

Search ultimate Droid in the nand forum... this my friend is the rom for your every wish... clean crisp & stable.... oh oh.... and FAST! Ive flashed several roms on my HD2 and and about 50x that number on my vibrant
... this by far is an amazing one to have stumbled acrossed... hope this helped

I have not tried he Ultimate Droid yet bit I have tried several Android ROMs and my favorite so far is Hyperdriid. But it is a nonsense Gingerbread ROM, and you said you like sense. Bit the main reason I posted in your thread is to tell you to check out my guide in my sig as it will help you out and I have two seperate guides on how to install Android on your HD2 at the top of my guide.
All the ROMs I have tried though have been very smooth and I find I am really liking the Clockwork Mod Recovery. I just got to switch from MAGLDR to cLK so I can charge my HD2 when it is off and so I can use ROM Manager.

Ultimate I believe is the same Creator I tried hyper and in defense think ultimate Droid is superior still should atleast try it lol later man

How stable is android on the hd2?

Hello, my wife has a sidekick 4g that she absolutely hates and has gotten an offer to trade for an hd2. My question is, the person says it is running 2.3.5. How stable is android on the hd2? If I tell her to trade and it sucks, I will be in the doghouse! Also, if I can convince her to give windows phone 7 a shot, how does that run? I can do the searching later to find out how to boot between the two, but is it pretty risky/hard? I've rooted and rom'd every android phone I've owned but something about winmo. Makes me nervous. Thanks!

I agree. Just make sure the touch screen works they are infamouse for them breaking. The phone is easy to root and nearly every rom on xda runs perfect on this phone

I've had my HD2 for 2 years now, and I knew nothing about rooting etc. It took me a whole day to learn, but now I can easily switch ROMs within half an hour max.
I've tried multiple Android ROMs (SD and NAND) and a WM7 ROM before the mango update, and everything works incredibly smooth and fully-functional. It's actually even better than the original Windows Mobile OS, so I'd highly recommend giving it a fiddle! Trust me, you can't really go wrong if you follow all the right advice (stickies have all the good stuff!)
Once you get going I think you'll really love the variety of builds and find one that you're comfortable with. Enjoy!

Awesome! Thanks guys, sounds like its a go then! I may even be wanting one for myself!

Well it all depends on which rom/settings/tweaks you use but in general Android is more stable and runs better on the HD2 then most native Android devices!

You dont "root" the HD2.

I'm using CM7_Tweaked-2.0.0-LEO and radio 2.15.50.14. I would not describe it as very stable and I cannot get the radio to do 3g or H. Perhaps my expectationa are too high and I'm sure it is more stable on Android than Windows, but I am not happy with it.

I have the same problem. would like to update my Leo by Android but I do not know what is the best ROM to do that in terms of stability, display errors and energy management? I was using 2.3.5 NAND version which had quit a lot of bugs. Now I'm back on WM

Android on the hd2 in my opinion runs better on this device than some devices that are launched with it.
Load up NexusHD 2.3.7 and you or your wife won't look back.

Well you are not going to find out unless you try them. Also "2.3.5. NAND" means absolutely nothing as that isnt rom specific, that is just a version number of Android OS.
In my experience the most stable version without needing tweaks/extra setup etc is the NexusHD2 roms by tytung (Froyo) and (Gingerbread) and they are as close to stock Android as you will get.
I am addicted to trying new roms though and have started to really like the MIUI based roms but am currently testing the new NexusHD2 ICS base.

HD2 forever ...
I have an EU and a from about 2 month a TMOUS:
- EU with MIUI 2.37a stable ... hard daily use, it rocks!!!
- TMOUS to try other roms with sense (big internal space required, i hate app2sd ) and tried 3 different version of ICS for now without any problem!!!
I have thought about changing them for a real android but ... i love modding ... so no chance for other model for now
A quick reply? Buy a TMOUS
Cheers

Roms
Since you have tried many different roms, have you found a sense 3.5 that can play 720p video? Mwakious 3.5 does not

HD2 was build for Android, delivering it with WM6.5 was a joke!
