OK I would have to go to millon different pages to collect the info on who has what combo of wimo and droid working and what versions and fixes they are using.
SO PLEASE ANYBODY WITH GOOD COMBO BUILD (WIMO / DROID SETUP) ON HTC HD2 TMOUS, OR TMOUS COMPATIBLE
PLEASE LIST THE ROMS/RADIOS/HSPL/DROID BUILDS/ PHONE SPECS/ETC THAT MAKES UP YOUR SETUP
I KNOW THE ANDROID IS NOT FULLY RUNNING SMOOTH BUT I THINK WE NEED GOOD ENOUGH STABILITIES POSTED UP.
DONT HAVE A WORKING COMBO SO THIS WOULD HELP ALL NOOBS ALL AT ONCE
LIST THE GLITCHES YOU DO HAVE WITH YOUR COMBO SETUP TOO
FOR INSTANCE ALL IM REALLY WANTING IS A COMBO SETUP WHERE I CAN AT LEAST
MAKE/RECEIVE CALLS AND SMS SEND/RECEIVE, APP MARKET AND GPS AND WIFI WORKING IS A BONUS.
PERSONALLY I CAN WAIT FOR BETTER RELEASES THAT FIX EVERYTHING ELSE BUT I NEED THOSE THINGS AT MINIMUM
Go feed yourself, your know how to work a KEYBOARD obviously...
all of those are already working =b

Nothing is really working fully, tons of people having issues and glitches only senior members seem to have things working well so thats the reason for the post what are you taking about!GG
if you would read any of the build pages they list ALL of the functions that are working..
im a total noob and my android build is working perfectly. there are going to be glitches but wifi works just fine, sms in and out work perfectly, calling works perfectly now. everything you asked for is ALREADY working
This is currently trial and error for most people, bit if you read through some of the Rom threads you will see what is working within each ROM. Most ROM posts also list a recommended WinMo ROM / radio combination to work best with their setup.
Personally I'm using an Energy ROM + mattc froyo rc 1.4 with sense + radio 2.12.50. Everything working in Android except WiFi tether and camcorder (the latter is fixed in rc 1.5)
Search and read the first couple of posts of each of the created ROMs we have. That should give you everything you need about each one.

I have been running android perfectly for days now. (Bluetooth, gps, everything works for me.) Running radio 2.12.50 elegancia rom and mattc froyo build 1.5. It took a little bit of tweaking but once I read through all the posts and got the couple little fixes (a lot of searching, but worth it), I got it working 100% on every boot. Fast, no SOD, no issues. I can't wait until they do make this into a full rom, but even if they didn't, this is very stable.
Hey this would be to halp all noob
Its not spoon feeding S%$^& WTF r you taking about. i have been on here since friday morning didnt even sleep last night(seriously, broke night looking for just a few answers) i broke night reading and reading, trying to get somewhere before the work-weekdays hit
and even so WHY the F not whats the point of giving people the run around,
and on top of that even with everybody giving there by build setups still doesnt mean its gonna work for me. but at least its not a waist of time. for noobs like me
to be trying useless setups
whats the point of making noobs run around, then you guys complain about noods bouble posting and threading
I am a production designer, YOU'RE basically feeding the damn DOUBLE threading problem, since its so hard for noobs to find sh(t they go ahead and post a new thread,
then you idiots get madd because people are double posting
"ohh the question has already been answered" yea on like page 1367 of this one particular threads, the Q & A didnt really help me it was to specific nothing to do with enter working rom combos
the main freaking reason for dual booting is to get wimo and droid to work together successfully, WHY spread it across thousands of pages, State what works THEN break it down
felt like a read the bible, you got threads over 2000+ pages WTF juut because i want to slim THOUSANDS of pages to read to just 10 or so, thats called spoon feeding.
I love this site, because i went from absolute no knowledge in CELL phone modding
to having a very good understanding of it.
I HATE idiots like you with your damn egos,... yea help the damn noob once in a while you where once one to, PLEASE spoon feed us for fuqing once. Maybe this will stop alot of DOUBLE THREADING/POSTING
Hi Guys,
I had have a CleanEX Hyper Rom V9.0 from this Post #4
forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=656835
with RADIO 2.08.50.05 and without any customations, just that ones from the cocked ROM.
I installed mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.5 on my SD (forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=736545 )
It worked very fast without errors or hangs for a half day ( I tryed sms, phone, internet, some widgeds )
Awesome! no problems.
After that experience my battery was low ;-) ( I didn't used the fix ).
I hope you are able to understand my text, I had have no english practise.

So far I've been really happy with:
WinMo: Dutty's C5 Premium
Android: shubCraft 1.1
Matt Leo Froyo 1.5 with AxLor Leo WM Rom and Radio 2.08.
Haven't rebooted since the built was released and pressed into my HD2.
Oh, my gf commented that my voice does not have echo anymore.
HSPL v2
radio: 2.10.50.26_2
Rom: Stock 1.66 Eastern Europe
Android Build: FroyoStone ( the last one from 07/08/10) with sense
No major issues with this configuration. Everthing works fast. The only real problem is the power consumption. It runs about 10-12 hours with average usage. Heavy usage drains it down in 3-4 ... There are some small problems as well - touchscreen inresponsive for a few seconds here and there, flash is working slower than the previous builds. The overall speed of the build is remarkably fast. Just brilliant work to cottula and darkstone !
The camcorder works flawlessly in 800x480 mode - i just love it

I have used JMZ Dualboot, not using it now, works fine both ways.
I'm not really having any issues. GPS, market, wifi works fine. Don't use bluetooth...all of the apps I usually use for Android work fine. I've been using almost exclusively Android now for a couple of weeks ( I do have 3 batteries though)
Thanks EVERYONE for telling what you have now i can use those as guide lines and see which i candy i like best for wimo and hope that it has sense, cuz without sense...makes no sense.lolol. corny but true
Hope fully people will continue posting so Noobs can understand there possible combos.

Other than the system2.ext replacement for the GPS, there is nothing else. Calls are loud and clear, no robot talk, data pulls from 3G and HSPSA and switches seemlessly between my WiFi spots I hit throughout the day.
Also, if it matters... in WinMo is have all switches on under Comm Manager. Data, Phone, 3G, WiFi. And Data Roaming is on in Android.
Loving it.. I have been running it as my primary since July 27th, until the other day when I gave FROYOStones a shot. I restored my previous yesterday and it is back to the sweet spot.

hardik119 has found out that going to account & sync and disabling background data has stopped his device from freezing and it has also stopped mine afer 1 hours use. Before it was freezing about every 5 minutes. With doing this I have also disabled setCPU, auto screen rotate and removed gsensor.dll in windows mobile. Please try this out and respond if this has worked for you because maybe we can get a perminant solution. Thanks and also thanks to hardik119 for his extensive testing and possible solutions he is finding all the time Android is usuable on my device hopefully will be for everyone else aswel. Also sorry for opening another thread but there doesn't seem to be any action on hardik119's original thread.
maybe suggested solution works...but...wot is android without data background?
If you disable background data, doesn't that like stop gmail and weather and such updating automatically??

As has been suggested above...that is kind of /fail.
I'd prefer to live with the occasional few second freeze than not have constant updates.
I applied the RC 7 and my screen freezes are gone. Using this image with mattc nexus 1.0 rom,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756513.
Pretty sure he's just looking for testers to confirm the association. That way developers can narrow down the cause of the issue and possibly fix it. Stop whining about the "solution" he suggested.
Touchscreen freezes still exist
No freezing issues as long as you get the right WM build and android port. Mine is 100% freeze free thanks to the awesome devs here at Xda.
I have auto screen rotate on and still no freezing or SOD. I am using Darkstone's 2.1 build full time now.
Fyi.

Giving some details about your setup, WM Rom, Current android build/zImage radio etc. might help people participate more. Data connection does cause some freezing but if your saying you were getting freezing every five minutes before you turned it off, then something sounds wrong as mostly people are reporting little or no freezing.
You mention the G sensor and this is a known problem and a work around is to calibrate the G sensor in WM before turning on android, this has helped me.
I also find the kernel has an impact, I found freezing in all the undervolted/ overclocked Images, although Michyprimas latest kernel is the best to date, I have not had a freeze yet.
I found that the stock ZImage from 23rd August had no freezes in my setup.
I've no doubt that the sd card is playing some role and you may wish to experiment with changing that.
Im sure you've tried all this but you need to have the latest Hardspl V3. Do a task 29 to wipe your nand. Install a very light WM ROM, Im using my own WM 6.5.5 ROM but there is a better one by Miri V18 extra light and of course the one listed here such as chucky's ROM etc.
Format the SD card before installing the Android ROM.
Use radio v2.12.50.02.
Try Xcelsior ROM when I tested it I found it very stable.
If you already tried these thing and have had freezing every five mins, then I would suspect your sd card, but its just a guess.
There is a thread somewhere by cotulla asking for participants to isolate this problem so you need to submit your findings there (again if you have not done that)
Thanks for the tips currently using maths 1.5b Rom with 23rd kernel
Hspl3 & radio .12 aswel also tried with calibration on the g sensor in winmo and also deleting sensor.dll also using energy light but have also tried with Miri light the only build I haven't tried so far is the one you mentioned so will give it a go. Thanks

where to fing the original zimages not the overclocked
touch screen freez reason
I nenarly identified the reason of touch screen freezing ,,it is possibly in the touchscreen kernel ,download figure race from market and the touch screen fresez due to random pess of touch screen with both hands ,I think this is the main problenthl

23rd august is very stable, you also get usb sinc working and HTC sync.
You need to download the corresponding modules to extract the BCM and TUN files for wi fi to work.
I am looking for a clean useable ROM.
I have tried a few now and cannot find one that works well enough to use day to day, the nearest i have had to a useable rom is mdeejay_froyo_HDv.3.4.1, however typing is useless and all over the place. I logged it but go no answer or fix suggested so I had to ditch it.
I have tried other roms who dont have problems with typing but they have all got there own issues, for instance, some dont pickup you sim contacts, some dont have internet configureable, some just are just too darn ugly to use.
dont suppose anyone can recommend anything for elegancia GTX wwe - 11/6/2010 - radio 2.10
I'm using hyperdroid without any problems. My requirements were a CM-based ROM, with a decent or good-looking theme and low lcd density (240 makes everything waaay too big imo), and hyperdroid has all this. Not too much bloatware either.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
The closest I've come so far is HyperDroid 1.6. It's ALMOST there. Occasionally, it falls asleep and needs a power cycle (pop out the battery) to bring it back to life. It also seems to persistently have trouble working with my bluetooth radio in the car. Playing audio works great, but it simply hangs if I get an incoming call or attempt to make an outgoing call.
Bluetooth is also somewhat dodgy with WinMo 6.5 so it might not even be Android's fault. The hardware is really nice so I'm hoping things will get better in a future release.
I have tried these, I cannot get any internet, doesn't seem to autosetup.
Try FroyoStone Sense v3.1, it works really well. I use VBNROM (minimal) and Radio 2.15.50 and it works just like a native android phone. Great Battery life too. Oh and you have to enter APN stuff manually, just google it.
I'm having quite good luck with Bangsters 1.5
Had to switch to rmnet because ppp connections were bloody useless. still having some slight data reception issues, but even with that a MUCH better experience than with my old cliq.
I've been using FroyoStone v3.1 with great success for a little while now, easily my most favourite and most reliable build I've found to date. Everything works, apart from the camera flash delay but that's pretty much universal on most recent (non-evo based) builds.
I'm testing Froyo HD at the moment and really quite like it, only problems I seem to be having could well be my fault (Titanium Backup might have replaced a couple of critical HTC components by accident)
shubcraft 1.5 is about as stable and complete as you are going to get. theres another 2.2 stock cm6 floating around too. however you would have to do something i know you hate. SEARCHING
FroyoStone 3.1 worked much better than others and seemed to be almost perfect for over a week. However, despite DarkStone's claims, by the end of the second week the screen freezes gradually came back, rendering the phone barely usable when walking. The PPP started getting stuck on upload more and more, adding to the problems list.
I should admit there's still no build that has all the functionality working flawlessly, unless you're willing to sacrifice some features, like camera, flash, G-sensor, PPP, music player, etc...

MDJ's builds work perfectly for me, 3g, WiFi, Navigation & Camera all work for me.
They all worked on Darkstone's too for me.
My advice would be stick with WinMo if you're not happy with what's on offer
Get mattc's 1.8 and hastarin 8.1. With Chucky ROMs this runs smooth like butter. And everything is working.
sounds like force close issues due to trying to restore data from other builds? or leftover data being picked up off the card causeing corupted files.
all the builds you mentioned are pretty reliable builds, that leads me to belive issues lie on your end.
if it was me?
id do a full format, not the quick format in windows. better yet, do it in gparted! a linux machine will do a much better/cleaner job.
Hey guys.. I love Android. I've ran so many different rom's and CM6 Nightly's n such on my Nexus One and I really love the phone. I love this HD2 also tho.
I've been using the HD2 with DarkStone FroYo for the last 10 Days or so. I must say I LOVE the HD2. It's a great phone, I love the screen and it's size, but hard buttons all being one piece of plastic was a bad move but thats about it.
Basically here's my issue. I have screen freezes that are a few seconds, or up to 10 allll day long. sometimes it will freeze and wont go into sleep mode for up to a minute (at least a few times a day) I lose my Data signal at least 10 times a day also. Sometimes it comes back, other times I need to Toggle Airplane on/off and my signal will come back.. Basically it's very smooth and awesome, then just craps. and this is extremely often and very random and it's starting to get very irritating. I wanna go back to my Nexus. I've also tried SkinnyEVO and had similar problems.. Are there any ROM's that are smoother and more stable, screen freezes and data drop-outs are really starting to irritate me knowing I wouldn't have these issues on my N1.
Should I wait for Nand to get going, should I try a few more ROM's. Is there fixes for these issues? Any info or suggestions would be great. I'd love to use this for a Daily phone, but in the current state it's a hard call.
Man Try MCCM 1.6 with updating kernel hastarin 8.5
it doesn't freeze at all.
everything work no bugs at all.
camera with zoom , face detection.
it is an awesome build
which radio u have and wim mobile u got ?
Darkstone has not updated his build for quite some time. Definitely try an updated build with latest kernels before giving up on the ole HD2. The touchscreen freeze has been eliminated with the newer kernels. I've been using the Motodroid build which has very good performance with the best working camera; no green tint, full 5 mp with working wide screen mode and shutter sound is selectable (which I have not found in any other build).
I don't know what MinMo build. I'll check, but I have the latest Kernel for the HD2. Kernel 2.15.50
I'll check what WinMo after work. Thanks for posts. I'll report back later
Do try a newer build, like the others said. I upgraded mine to hdone and replaced the kernels and i have yet to have my phone screen freeze. When i was using every other build with the old kernals, it froze all the time. Don't give up on your hd2 yet!
I think you have hit on 2 major issues the first screen freezes has been pretty much solved with the latest kernels with the g sensor fix. So try Hastarins 8.5 or mdeejays latest.
Second the data problems still exist but has been much improved with Letamas Ril Wrapper and other ppp tweaks ,see Letamas thread. if you try one of the newer roms they might have all above already in, so worth a try before going back to nexus.
I've been following Android on HD2 since August, and I've gone from all your problems and more to almost none (touch wood: my phone has begun to freeze today after three weeks of no problems - I'm hoping it's an installed app issue).
They are getting better and better and it's only battery life which remains an issue (for me).
Everyone's going to have different results depending on Radio/Location/Operator, but personally the MDeeJay Sense Revolutions (both types - Froyo and his other one), have worked very well for me, on Energy ROMS (currently the barebones one).
I can't promise Android on HD2 will always be flawless, but your two biggest gripes are certainly solvable on the right combination. (I hope!)
Change your SD card to a Class 6 and let us know.
Give up on the HD2, go back to the Nexus, send me your HD2
Scan my signature for my setup - I find it the best after changing at least 15 builds, 7 WinMo ROMs and 4 different radio combinations.
PS I am really stubborn guy, so that tells you that I've tried all possible combinations with above count of builds, roms, radios - and so far this one gives me what I want: HD2 with the Build that is smoothest and more stable than any Android phone I played around with so far... including nexus one
Thanks for all the information posted here guys. I appreciate it. I'll try mdeejay's latest and see how things go. (all of mdeejay's are Sense UI) I want stock Froyo
Another question. Can I copy everything from my Android Folder, to a New Android Folder for the new ROM I'm about to try, and have everything be exactly how it is now on DarkStone, or will that not work?

Titanium backup is your friend there. google for the wiki and read up on how to backup and restore.
Oh and if you don't like Sense, that's fine, just install whatever launcher you want, press the home button and it will ask you what launcher to use, tick the box for "use this by default" and sense won't come back to bug you. You can also remove the lockscreen slide by deleting the "HTCLockScreen.apk" via adb.
Just also to backup what others are saying, later builds like the one in my sig are far more reliable and useable, I get no data drops or any of the other problems you experience currently.
I know how titanium and all that works, thanks for trying to help though.
I just figured since everything is in the Android Folder, couldn't I copy it to another Android1 folder and boot to that build, and everything be there. but if not. It's ok. I'll just titanium backup everything instead.
I'm thinking about trying out BiffMod 1.2

You need to change you're SD card. I had gone through the same problem with A-Data class 4 sd card...but large waking times randomly spoiled the whole android experience....so much so that I gave up android...
But ever since I went back to replacement 16GB samsung SD card (which is ironically class 2) things have improved...and the phone wakes up instantly..
Also upgrade the kernel to hastarin v8.5.1 of ur build..it just solved all Data issues for me..maybe it will work for you too
I'm using the stock 16GB Class 2 Samsung that it came with. I have a 16GB Class 10 in my Nexus if we want to compare. but I'm not sure how large the SD class will really change things. Maybe a little.
I came to the HD2 from a Nexus.
I love my nexus... but wanted a larger screen.
Originally I had all the issues you commented... Id already sold my N1 so I really had to work on the HD2 working how I wanted it.
After flashing different roms, radio's, androids and kernels Ive finally landed where I am happy and in just the recent weeks with the tweaks the devs have done to their kernels my phone is rocketing and would never go back...
Only thing I do miss is the trackball and its colored notifications.
OP, you asked about overwriting your files, here's what I did...
I backed up my whole SD Card to my PC, so that I had my full working phone backed up just in case.
I then overwrite the contents of my old Android build with my new Android build, ignoring the data.img file.
Then re-booted, and Voila! EVERYTHING (apps, settings, wallpapers etc) came back, but my ROM was faster and smoother and upgraded.
This was switching from one ROM-maker to an entireley different one (both were Android 2.2 though).
If this had failed, I could have wiped my SD card, and made a choice between trying a fresh new Android, or using my SD Card back-up. If I'd had to go fresh, I'd know my Google Account would hold my contacts and purchased app settings. The AppBrain app is also useful in this regard.
Have fun!
im in a similar situation. i got me a secondhand nexus one, to try how android runs on a native device. i walked around with it for some days now, and i think im soon going back to my hd2, cause I CANT GET USED TO THE SMALL SCREEN ON THE NEXUS XD
really. not.
android on the hd2 runs almost as smooth as on the nexus one, i dont even cared in choosing the right build for my hd2, i just picked froyostone, and thats it xD
so yea, in the end, the only thing i really love on the nexus one is the awsome trackball, with its different colours :3 omg i want that on my hd2... ;(
i was having the freezing problem when i was using energy rom with the stock sd card when i flashed to the newest tmobile rom all of my freezing went away so if you have that problem try the newest tmobile rom it worked for me
