[Q] Best Android Build?

I have just plunged into android and I am using HTCClays SuperDesire build - I like it, but I have an issue with data connection dropping out (Vodafone UK).
So I was wondering what was another good version to try? Here is my requirements.
Good Data connection.
Camera working (seems premature flash is an issue on all builds?)
Bluetooth working
Good Battery life
Not concerned about Sense
In addition, (whilst I am re-building) does the WM Rom make any difference are there any recommendations on this (i.e Titanium only?)
Cheers
Mark.

Here is my requirements.
* No APN crash
* Camera with flash working
* Bluetooth working / contacts transfer.
* No HTC Sense
* No touch screen freezes
* Working G-Sensors

what's up with the shopping lists? open up the threads and look at the first post! they all say exactly what works/doesn't work/what to expect!
i'm not giving you a fish. go catch your own.

OMG...... another one

This is getting ridiculous now.....

This is just getting disrespectful to developers and even other XDA members! Do some reading, every ROM thread has what's working and what's not! so why give a list of your requirements, you want to be so picky, so build one yourself!
You can't make a thread in my opinion stating which is the best as they all have they uses, people have they favourites but why not go try some and see which works best for you?

I want
1.A pink pony
2.a new car
3.a new house
4.a lotto ticket worth 900,000,000,000.00 dolaars
RLMAO......

my first build was shubcraft but version 1.3,i have to admit that i was really satisfied (in spite of some functions weren't working).then i tried desire hd build by darkstone and i felt in love with new sense.i've been using it for a month or so but is still quite buggy.from yesterday i have darstone's froyostone v 3.1 and so far everything is really good but i miss some features from new sense

Gimme, gimme... Don't ppl realise how long and hard this journey has been. It was once said that Android wasn't even possible.
By all means ask for a recommendation if you really don't know where to start but if you have any sense then do your homework like the rest of us.
Rant over.

I've been using Bangsters for quite a while now and I think it's been the most stable one so far that I've tried.
I did use Hyperdroid because of the performance but lack of wifi tether made me switch

I found the best way to have good romness is go get all roms from target. Unzip with zipfly and copy all themselves *****es to one folder called bestest kanged rom ever. Now put on SD. Flash your mom your huge rom. Click clrad 5 times. Click haret 1 and then pull the battery. I did and I grew hair down there

People in here have to RELAX! the thread starter asked a simple question!
Tell me exactly whats wrong with having some preference about the rom? Even the devs would get something good out of it.

lets start with asking questions in the questions forum. that way this post can be with the other 6 exact same posts from the last 2 days.

As the thread starter, I find many of the responses un-helpful.
I believe that I stated that my main issue was that data was dropping out. This was not stated as a bug in the first post, and before I put the software on my Leo I also checked a few of the final posts, which is a good way to spot any major issues.
I accept that Android is new to Leo and that there are inevitable bugs, hence me asking for advice.
Its good to see that 'Senoir Members' are so helpful ! (that was sarcasm by the way!)
Never mind with the answer I will look for myself with trial and error.
What a helpful community! (Not).
Mark.

In all seriousness, If your looking for stable data connection I would try out this build. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786809
It runs great and its RMNET so its more reliable as far as data goes, it also looks [email protected] Data is the most stable for me out of all builds. See if its the same for you.

the thread you started is inappropriate :
1. different builds work differently in different countries, cell networks. etc
2. Not a single build appeals to the likes of everyone.
3. People will only give varying and often contradicting reports of builds they tried.
RESULT:
a thread that will lead to nowhere
Dont be lazy and read up, test and give us your feedback, positive or negative.

This isn't development, so moved to general. Also, closed the thread, as there are plenty of people discussing ROMs and what works.
@OP, please read the first post of each release, as it explains what's working and what isn't etc.
Thread closed.

[Q] Is [MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v2.6 A2SD+] one of the most stable rom by far?

I've been hearing many people complimenting about [MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v2.6 A2SD+].
I am a total beginner. So, i am just curious about this rom.
What's makes it worth the talk i am thinking? Or are there any rom that is very outstanding as well?
Honestly, I believe it is quite hard to compare.
Anyone care to enlighten?
I would like to know how they differ from each other.
Any form of help is appreciated, even links to guide.
Thanks in advance.

Its all a matter of opinion....hard to answer your question. The way i pick a rom to try out is...
Look for one that was recently updated
Read the first posts from the developer..your looking for changelogs, and whats working and not working.
Remember the date of the last update....go to the end of the thread and read all the way back to the date of the last update. This will let you see problems other users have found. Decide if these problems are related to the build or user error. Most will be user error. If you dont see a lot of complaints or problems with ...gps, data, wifi or phone turns into a blood sucking vampire then flash it and see for yourself. This is the ONLY way to find yhe best rom for you.
Believe it or not every hd2 is different. They all react differently to setups that are exactly the same. Its weird and hard to explain so just believe it.
2.15 radio
2.2miui stock via cwm

definately one of the most stable & smooth IMO. ive tried quite a few other ROMs and always end up flashing back to MDJ CM7 2.6 good for daily use

I totally agree with the statement above, and while mdj's rom was "stable" for my particular hd2, so are many other roms, its all about your personal preference i would say get clockwork working and make a few nand backups of roms you like and switch off every few days until you find the one for you, but do as you want man, they are all pretty awesome with unique features, i think mdj's build is slightly outdated due to kernel and system breakthroughs as of late... just my personal opinion though, decide for yourself

Hey, thanks. I just boot it. Well, as I am new to this, I am unsure about the ROM TYPE out there.
What about the ROM-ZIP? Is it like the NAND?
I came across this [HD2 CoreDroid DHD v1.4 (23 FEB)] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926507

It isnt near as complicated as it seems..but i know how you feel. I thought the same thing at first.

For .zip roms, you gotta use CWM to install. a little more confusing at first. But you will know how as you read more. For now, try to get use to flashing NAND.

Definitely the most stable I have used.

I have no problems with it and recommend it to beginners,I'm just waiting for a good stable sense Ginger rom down the road

Samsung A707
LG Incite Darkwolf 6.5 Winmo rom

Does this have the bt 60ma drain as with the other cm roms? I came from a nexus one and would like to keep using non-sense roms.

the robotic voice is an easy fix. just go to sound setting and turn off audible touch tone. i don't think you like a tone to be played every time you type something on the dialpad right?

Well, in your other thread you were talking about the iphone. Why not try MIUI? There are several fast and stable builds and looks very similar to the iphone with icons i think you may prefer. I have tested Ladyboo's build most recently and it is very stable.

Go youtube HTC HD2 Android ROMs or similar and look at newer entries. Great way to see the different ROMs in action and decide what you like. As is any thread with "best phone" or "best ROM" it all comes down to user preference.

test them for yourself that is the only way you will find out

instead of making another thread.
what is the best in terms of:
stock or cm7 (no sense)
camera bt wifi hotspot of course everything working
best battery life in use. pretty much every rom gets 3 to 7 in standby (except i still get random jumps to 60 sometimes)
but it varies between roms some in use get me 150 and others go to 400.
so whats the best battery life currently?

I've got a better idea. Get off your laziness, stop asking people questions you can find the answer for, and do something. You're sitting on a chair already, so do some typing, clicking, are your fingers that tired, weak? Is it that hard to simply try out a different rom? Or do you find the need to clog up the forums with a useless thread?
I apologize if this is hurtful, but I think such ignorance demands it.

Don't apologize to him/her....your meaning to be an ass.
As for a serious answer....there are 4 builds I'd suggest. NAND: typhoon cm7, hyperdroid. SD: ACA(cope and my creation) and miui.
Stay away from mccm builds. The person fails to build from source thus has limited control over the builds he/she steals.
Lots of choices overall. See what gets your attention.....the ones I laid out are great for starters and often times the ones people end up going with.

You should try either TyphoonCM7 or NexusHD2, best roms imo.

It's technically AmeriCanAndroid.
It was a play off of me and Copenhagen. Myself, from the United States of AMERICA. Him, from Canada. And Android, our OS. Now the crazy way we spell it should make more sense.

[Q] Best Hd2 Android rom out there

What is the best htc hd2 android rom out there with sense working and is stylish smooth and quick

There is no 'best' one. Try them all and see which suits you best
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

I advise you NOT to get the 4.X Roms because they still are not optimized enough and don´t have "functions" that are worth getting for!
Try to look for cyanogen7 mods on 2.3.X roms
THe best so far I found was dorimanx rom but it is unstable atm (installing apps result in crash)
To distinguish better, here try this website

i use this room also,..until now, i couldn't find any bug on it...and its fast too

Hi simadams the link in your "shortlist this one" post is dud can repost to tell me which rom and version it is

HyperDroid is the best. I've tried all Sense ROMs, they're all not fast enough for me.
Sense is BS most of the time.

this is the one I use
[20.Feb.2012] NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9 V1.4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860)... its great... but there are some small glitches... like I can'e edit the contacts from the default People app, I can send MMS (could be my configuration problem), cant change the default app once I check the box in the pop up, battery performance is poor (lasts only 12-15hrs)...
But its really smooth and fully functional...

Why can't one search the forum before asking this Question !!!!!!!!!!!
I am sure there are more than 10 threads with the same question..

whats the best ROM is a lot like asking whats the best flavor ice cream. (butter pecan personally) lol. The point is whats the best in our, the communities eyes don't always match up with one another. This is because what i want on my ROMs you may not and vise versa. The more details you give the better someone may point out a ROM they like that they might feel you will enjoy too.
If you want something a little older thats really fast and reliable one might point out RAFDROID HD. If you want something a little newer maybe running Gingerbread i would suggest CoreDroid GB. If you want sense 3.0/3.5 i feel Team Blue Droid V3.6 runs pretty smooth and they have a themed version under development. I would check out youtube and type in HD2 roms. Watch a few and try and get an idea of what your looking for. There is a great site found here that list many of the Android ROMs for the HD2. It tells you some basic info about each one like if it has sense, what build and when it was updated. Take awhile looking over each one and read some of the comments in that thread to try and get an idea of what you'll be getting. Hopefully then you'll be able to make a great choice on the perfect ROM for you.
