Issues with installing Android 2.2 on my HD2

Hi everyone,
I need help with android on my HD2. I put on my HD2 the Android 2.2 OS but there is no sounds and calls have robot like sounds (can't even make out words that are spoken). I have been having the same problem no matter what I do and how many times I redo the installation process. I even installed HSPL3 and went from a 2.10 radio to a 2.08 radio still the problem persist. And yes i did tap on CLRCAD before taping on HaRET. Someone please help...

The Robot Voice is a known issue. However, some cooks have fixed the issue in their custom ROM's. Why don't you check them out.

x2.
certain rom+radio combinations are better than others in terms voice call quality. e.g., chucky rom+latest radio works good with mattc's froyo sense, miri's rom seems to work well with darkstone's builds, etc..

I went through most of the threads of there but in vain

You just have to experiment, or look around in user's signatures, and see what build combo's they are using.

i've tried this so many times to no avail, the sound is very low plus i get tke robot voice and after the second call it does not sound anymore. Also there are no ring tones, everything works but the audio. This is what I'm running:
Froyo Stone with sense, my radio is 2.10.50.26 everything is in the SD card, also how can I access the sd card? Thank you so much for any help you cab give me.

well ill give you my tip on how to resolve your problems. i did this to my phone and now i can run android FLAWLESSLY on my HD2.
1.go to tmobiles site and download the latest STOCK rom for your HD2.
2. run the program to install it so that you have the newest stock rom on your phone.
3. install HSPL 2.08 and MAKE SURE its HSPL and not SPL.
4.after installing that, install a custom WM rom of your choice(im using the WM bare bones by NRGZ28)
5.then install a new RADIO rom( i am using the Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2)
6.download and install the ANDROID ROM of your choice(i am using MATTC's NeXus one 2.2 OTA operating system)
7. reboot after you finish installing the android and it should work great! i havent had any robot voices/SoD or screen freezes and i have been using it for 4 days now and i usually get about 12-14 hours of use out of a full charge.
let me know how that works!

This has been talked about MANY times already. Android on the HD 2 is kinda like a learning a new recipe, you have to try different things till you find something that works for you. Did you know there is a whole forum dedicated to android on the HD 2? Really there is It is HERE

It does not work with all ROMS. You have to find a ROM that is compatible with Android. Omega's latest ROM is compatible.

Hey man you are a life saver. Tried what you did and my HD2 is working. The only thing I have found is when I hook up my bluetooth headset it somehow corrupts everything and i have to reinstall the rom to get everthing else working. Thanks again

Few differences.
I have chuckyrom light and froyostone (8/7/2010) build.
Its a t-mobile phone.
When I had the 2.10 radio, the build froze constantly. I couldn't use it. As soon as I changed to the 2.12 radio mentioned above, I haven't had a problem since.
I'm going on nearly 2 weeks and it has performed flawlessly.

same here
I have same issue with robot woice, just like from videoclip Black Eyed Peas
I think the combination one month old Duttys ROM and Foryostone2.2 Android image is the reason. Radio ROM is the latest. Therefore I think every chefs WM ROMs has to be modified to be compatible with currend Android port developement.
Also I have very fast music player, everything sounds like Smurfs and battery drain is very extrem.
But battery drain is common for every Android ports, as I can see at forum, so until this issue will be resloved it is just for fun not for the real usage I hope developers who spend a lot of time with porting will have luck with that soon

Did you really try to install android on your internal memory?
If yes, please search for the next corner and shame on you..

your internal memory (the 512 mb) is called NAND. This won't be touched by Android (well...just take this for granted).
You'll install android on your SD card.
Good luck!

Hey hey i was not saying that to install on ROM, i was asking that how can i run android (froyo) on my HD2 which have 512mb ROM.
means i dont have t-mobile version.
Otherwise i know i should keep the files in micro SD card and then run it.

it depends on each persons liking.. but since you're just starting to port to android.. i would recommend these combo, as i think both these works right out of the box as they say.. very fast build.. after you try these combination, you can explore with other builds.. but this would be a great start.. try it
VBNRom (Winmo ROM) i know you said you already have chucky ROM, but this one is light and gives me good compatibility..
NexusHD2 (Android) everything works.. BT, camera, internet (only RMNET) and very fast build..

I use chucky myself, and Darkstone's Desire Froyo. Everything works, and I havent noticed any slowdowns so far.
Its a genuine lovestory, really

Android noob Q - 3.14 ROM/2.15 Radio

Since the 3.14 ROM contains an Android capable radio - is it still necessary to mess around with HSPL or can I grab an Android ROM, stick it to the SD card root and boot?
I'm interested in running Android but don't want to mess too deeply with my my phone if possible.
I appreciate this may be the sort of dumb question you guys answer all day lol, but dear me there's a lot of threads to sift through

No.
I have a UK unbranded HD2 and am using the stock WM ROM. (as long as you have a 2.08.50 (not 51) radio it will work,
All you need to do is put an Android build on the SD and it will work.
What is the best ROM? what is the best battery life ROM?
These are questions that no one has a straight answer for yet. you gotta try **** yourself and see how you go.
I am in my first week of HD2 hacking, and have tried a few builds, a few niggles, but generally solid.
Battery life is most important to me; I haven't found a combo i am 100% happy with yet.

Dunno what the above post is about, but yes - you can run Android with the latest (3.14) ROM.
I can personally vouch for that as that's what I'm running.

I am also running stock 3.14 with android and no problems.

Thanks guys that's excellent news. I didn't want to fiddle too much with the phone - especially since I know the new ROM and HSPL don't play nice. I was hoping I could do jus as you have described - find an Android build, stick it on my SD and go.
Now all I need is 02 to finally release the ROM for my phone, time to play the waiting game.......oooaaawww the waiting game sucks, let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos!

Going from Win Mo 6.5 to Android

Gents,
Apologies if I have missed this in another thread (I did do a search!) or if this si the wrong forum
Has anyone gone from Win Mo 6.5 to Android on their HTC HD2? Was it easy to do? What files would I need to back up etc? And is it worth doing?

Apologies accepted since you missed alot of threads ! Most of us have Android on our HD2's .
It was very easy but you must do somethings first to guarantee a working Android on your HD2 . (Read the Guide on my Sig. )
You don't need to backup anything as the current Android doesn't touch your internal device memory (i.e. WinMo system files) It will run off your sd card.
Have fun

I ran EVO android from SD without having to mod my OEM phone.
Just make sure you do follow the directions and update the kernel as some may leave the kernel out of the bucket of legs and thighs.
It did mess with my time and date everytime I booted back into the phones OS but everything else pretty much was the same.
No speed improvements, may be a wee faster if loaded on phones memory.
Evertything the EVO Android had I had on my OEM phone, just different names on some apps.
Once I got my WM6.5 setup properly Android was usless to me.
Like linux it is a sloooooooooo booter. That is the deal breaker for me.
I like 30 second boots at the most. 20 seconds for a desktop is slow!

HD2 will live!!
HD2 with its name LEO is really a king to the jungle out there with its new era of a great processor, an outstanding screen and a sexy look!!
Wm 6.5 is fine but android really excells in combining wm and ios and making a neat interface with user friendly handling!
I'm so meticulous with my device and using stock rom and radio, i tried android from one of the great builds done by MDJ (thanx a lot to him)
It doesn't do any harm coz i didn't need to upgrade rom nor ram and everything is dealt with thru sdcard
if u don't like it; just format or erase the android folders or just leave it there if u have a big memory
it's awesome by all means!! give it a try u wont loose anything!!
TMOUS stock rom 2.10 and radio 2.08

Hi there
Are you saying, that you've managed to run adndroid on your leo with stock Rom and radio? Thing is, that I would also like to try android on my handset, but I'm too scared to hurt it in any way - hence not too keen on changing rom / radio - which seem to be only way according to info I've managed to find so far
Would you care to share your phone configuration, to see what you're running?
Many thanks.

Your current configuration won't run Android. It needs a radio of at least 2.08.50 (MUST be a .50, NOT a .51!!!) The ROM is irrelevant - only the radio matters to Android.
There is an official ROM upgrade available that takes you up to a 3.14 ROM with a 2.15.50 radio, but I don't know if you can use that without HSPL as you have a branded handset.
It may be possible to just upgrade the radio, from the HD2 ROMs thread, and leave your Windows ROM as it is.

They are two separate systems - WinMo in the phone's ROM and Android on the Phone's SD Card.
The only real requirement is that your RADIO must be at least 2.08.50 (any one higher than that with a .50 will do). So you need to know what software you already have:
Settings -> About phone -> Software information. Here you will see the Rom, Radio versions. If the radio is not correct, then we'll go through the procedure on how to update it.
The chefs in the Android ROM section give details on what you download and how to set it up.
As for backing up, there should be no need to (as they are independent systems), but better safe than sorry; install SPB Backup. Even if you weren't thinking of running Android, having a backup is always advisable.

I have a bootscreen on WM that shows 3.14 as the ROM but in Settings/phone/ software information it still shows 1.48 and a date of 09/29/10.
Is this normal? does this mean my upgrade failed?
Radio release is same on both - 2.15.50.14

Don't worry about what is says when Windows is running. The value shown then is from the registry, so it can be changed. Have you done a restore from a backup application by any chance?

[Q] Best Sense Rom for Stability and Battery Life? This is for my GF.

Hey guys. Just bought an HD2, have flashed android 4.0 alpha on it, but I wanna give this phone to my girlfriend who lives in another state. She currently has a Mytouch Slide and I want to put a sense Rom on this phone because that's what she is familiar with. However I wanted to know what the most stable Sense Rom with the best battery life is? Is prefer a Sense 3.0 Rom but any version of Sense is fine. She doesn't use mobile web , only WiFi, and she usually texts and calls with it, very light app usage, if that helps describing her habits. Appreciate the input!

Flash this CLK bootloader in the right partition layout and follow instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1114053
After that flash clockwork mod 5.2.0.6.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987531
Partition your Sd card with a 1024mb Ext4 partition... you can do that with clockwork mod.
And flash this rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908528
Most stable rom out there.... for daily use.
The advantage of CLK is that your HD2 boots like a native android.
So your girlfriend can't touch anything of the bootloader etc.
For any info take a look at this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336700
good luck

As the post above said, I personally find Android 2.2 with Sense 2.0 the most stable and fastest type of ROM out there. Perfect for daily use and if your girlfriend isn't bothered about having the latest version of Android

Thanks guys ill try both Roms for a couple days and see which I like more. She doesn't care to be on the latest version, but I personally prefer sense 3.0 or 3.5 cuz that's what I have on my sensation.

SensationXL based ROM onHD2
Hello,
when i tthe first run after the instalation of the SensationXL based ROM from Energy im stuck witch the Animation.
And nothing is possible just pull out the battery. Haye anyone of you an idea what i could do fix this

Check clk partition sizes, make sure you have flashed a clk (and sense) compatible kernel. First boot can take up to 10 mins.

Completely useless unless you give us more information, and wasting space seeing as you clearly haven't searched first.
