whats up guys, so ive read a few sites that explain how to install android onto the hd2. i flashed one with no problems and it works flawlessly then i tried doing my cousins phone and his is messing up, contacts wont save and its locking up every once in a while.
So here is my question alot of the threads i was reading had conflicting information. So they are both flashed with hardspl already what is the lightest and most stable winmo to lay android over top of. Also what do you guys suggest for the best android rom to run over winmo and would a bootloader make the phone more stable. So i know what to do but i want to know from you experienced vets as to what is the most stable winmo that will run android great and what android rom to run for minimal problems. Ive read hundreds of pages on roms and such but everything is always outdated by time i get to it..
So what is working great for you guys. Sense is preferred on android and winmo will pretty much never be ran so no sense would be lighter im sure. Thanks for all the help in advance.
Also one more thing, as both phones are currently running android when they both try to connect to the same wifi router niether one will recieve data until one of the hd2 disconnects from the router. Also confused with that as my evo never loses internet when connected to the same router. For your info the router is a 2wire att dsl gateway. im thinking it could be a problem with the router but that shouldnt be a problem, so maybe the android rom i am using is not using its real mac to identify itself with the router and is causing problems. The wifi is encrypted with wep encryption.
a) You did NOT flash Android, you simply booted into android via your SD card.
b) Android does NOT run on top of windows, When you run haret it kicks windows mobile from ram and boots into Android kernel. Windows is not running at all.
c) Do not ask "what is best" questions they are silly and annoy everybody.
Stop been lazy and read, do some research and learn something, If you dont you end up with problems like your cousins phone.

A is correct, at least until NAND is done and stable.
Just to expand on B, the only thing I get out of different WinMo ROM's is speed of boot. Disable Sense if your WinMo ROM has it so when it boots to WinMo and kicks off haret, it kicks up faster.
C, yeah, I have to agree, you ask 1000 people about 100 ROMs and and somehow, you will end up with 1000 different answers.
Another thing to try is to backup your SD Card and format the SD Card (yeah, I know Dev's say it's not needed anymore, but why not?). Make sure it's a Class 6 or higher (DEFINITELY NOT a Class 2 and some reports show Class 4 work, but I try and stick with Class 6).

When running Android, the reported MAC address of your wifi card is not the actual MAC address, but one that can be changed.
Because of this, lots of builds have the same MAC address, and therefore you'll have this problem when connecting to the same wireless router. (If you're both running the same build then you'll definitely have this problem.)
Do a search - you can set the MAC address in the startup.txt file, but I can't remember what the actual text should read. It's been discussed in the forums before now, so it's there somewhere.
Or instead of being a jerk you can offer help and support or skip the thread entirely lol. Saves us all time.
Anyway, there are alot of ROMS out that cater to specific tastes. Me, I love Sense so that's my preference. Right now though I'm running a stock ROM from tytung that is running smooth as butter. No lags and data drops are almost non existent. But I know ill be running a new Rom within a few hours.
I'd suggest testing the builds on a week trial run or shorter. Try one out for a few days to get a feel for it and see if it has issues you don't want to deal with.
As far as WinMo, that doesn't really matter. I have a GTX full ROM running, I just don't use it except when restarting lol.

so as it comes to be, my friend former iphone 3g owner decided to pick up the htc hd2 from tmobile, all went well with it for the first couple days, but now shes constantly complaining about email connectivity issues, and her email will randomly dissapear and not be able to connect and slow lagginess on the phone causes her to throw temper tantrums . also for some reason her music is not showing up correctly... on top of that shes using att on the hd2 unlocked , all the settings have been configured but the rom is still on the stock tmobile rom.. so my question to you guys is what would be her best bet at a rom which is extremely user friendly and doesnt have too many options (so basically something like the tmobile rom without the tmobile bloatware and settings on it) something liek a stock hd2 rom , but i know i cant put that because of the radio issues... if anyone can help id greatly appreciate it because i know the true capabilities of this phone and unfortunatly im flashing a ne rom every day, she wants something she can use daily , stable , fast and super user friendly
Try flashing Kumar's rom its the closest feel to the stock rom that I have found. What type of email is she using? I use active sync with gmail and I found that it works the best because its a push email setup. Also you have to remember that since she is on at&t she will not get the 3g speeds so data is going to be slow.
well the data speed is ok and she uses yahoo, but just randomly her emails will get erased or shell get synchronization errors, even though her internet works.. its truly something that confuses the living hell out of me , and which kumar are we talking about what flavor ?

I run Kumar premium and its the best to my liking. First thing she needs to do is get rid of yahoo mail, its crap. With my clients that have yahoo have nothing but problems, everyone else is fine. Tell her to get gmail works great and is super easy to set up.
try telling a female to change her ways and tell me how that goes hahahha
I have the same setup. I have an unlocked TMOUS HD2 that I'm using on AT&T's carrier network. I didn't like the stock rom as it had tons of useless apps I would never use. So I HPSL'ed it and flashed it with Kumar's Lite 1.9 WWE rom. Try that and see if she likes that. Also let her know that some of the stalling and other issues could be because of the faulty/laggy MicroSD card. If she still experiences issues, have her take out her sd card for a while to see if she still experiences it. If she doesn't then she's got a bad card. Some people do, some people don't. The only problem with the lite rom is it is exactly that...Lite! So if she wants swype she will have to install that seperately. Same for Cookie tabs and other things.
Kumar's ROM is definitely the best that I've used so far. Also, see what radio she's running and possibly try flashing to a different one to see if that makes a difference.
I have hd2 with 2.10 radio and i tried almost every android rom in xda-dev forum but i just cant get this thing working. every rom except froyostone returned with error, but froyostone reboots the phone. anyone having this problem?
none of the developers sad it will work ....go to q&a area i am sure you will find a answer there
Closest you'll get is USB tethering for the moment using a couple of apps in the market place.
Search 'thethering' and you'll get all the information you need.
Everyone seems to have forgotten the beauty of our special super-phone: we have 2 different os's!
Close down Android, boot up trusty ol' WinMo 6.5.x , fire up that perfectly fine WiFi router, wax nostalgic for a while, and when you have satisfied your need for a hot spot... wait for it... run clrcad and HaRET.
Bam! Best of both worlds until we have an Android fix. Just my .02.

yeah i agree, use WinMo for Wifi hotspots!
I'm having a slight problem with Mattc's 1.7 Froyo + Sense update.
Ever since the update I can't get my phone to connect to the internet at all. It finds my HSDPA network and connects, on Radio 2.12.50.02_2.
I read something about PPP versus RMNET, but I don't know enough about that to know if I have the wrong one. I'm very wary of bricking out my phone (I'm past the grace period for returns) so I thought I'd ask first.
I know your new, but youll want to post android questions in the android forum. As far as your data goes, try the other version. your not going to brick your phone flashing android roms from the sd card. So it deffinetly will not hurt to try. check your apn and see if thats set up right, also sometimes a simple reboot does a lot.
I am running an HD2 with Froyostone 3.2.
I purchased a G2 and switched to Android web...using the Android SIM in the HD2...does it make a difference..Im not sure.
When in WinMo i can access the internet..and in Android as well, but i get alot of drops in the Android.
Anyone else try this ?

Are you talking about your data plan on your contract/tariff?
They largely mean nothing important. APN's will invariable be the same (this especially rings true if you changed something on your tariff but nothing changed on your phone), it's just a way of the networks and carriers to try and make more money off people.
Thank you.
Can you tell me is there anything I can do to keep the network from dropping out so much. I read through some threads...but don't really understand what I need to so exactly
htc hd2 froyostone
Atm PPP data disconnects are a tricky beast to contend with. There are lots of threads that deal with the situation, but as far as I am aware (and it would be big news!) it's not been fixed permanently on any build.
I'm using Shubcraft 2.0 atm and my data only disconnects when I switch towers (basically when I travel outside of my local area) but turning my mobile data off then on again brings it back. It's a minor inconvenience to me, I know it's a great annoyance to others who aren't as lucky as me.
The only real advice I can give is keep reading those threads that deal with it, and see if other peoples fixes/workarounds work for you.
Thanks again....that's pretty much what I been doing disconnecting data...other than that..I have no other issues with this build
..I rarely even use the G2..hah

It seems like the remote control app is working fine for everyone else, but mine shows no devices found when I load it on my (refer to phone in sig). Anyone else having trouble?
Did you set Remote Control Settings on your Archos to Discoverable?
Settings> Wireless and network settings> Remote control settings> Discoverable> check
Of course. I checked all obvious issues, including firewall. Still nothing. The app doesn't even seem to search for devices. It opens in less than a second and immediately displays "No Devices Found". There doesn't seem to be a long enough pause for it to really be searching.
Did you reboot both devices? I had to do this to get it working.
I have the same problem. What phone are you using? Im using the Tbolt.
Yeah, both devices have been rebooted multiple times. Can people with it working post whether they are using the developer edition root method, and if so, what kernel?
@Richpopski123, check my sig. HD2 with nandroid.
Maybe the problem is, that you guys run a rom/mod on your phone?
Or maybe its the kernel?
I just put android on my old Touch Diamond just to test, and it works fine on that. Damn thing is 5 years old. Obviously it's the phone then. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the wifi Hotspot.
@Richpopski123: Do you have wifi hotspot?
@Lennb: I wish I could run without a rom, but it's a WinMo phone, and I can't deal with WinMo. Everything else in Android has worked perfectly, even usb tethering. Also, that old Diamond is WinMo running a droid rom, so it's not just the rom factor, but the type of rom, or something included with the rom.

okey, didnt know that
is there another rom to port android to the HD2? maybe this would work.
oooor.. have you checked you're firewall settings, if you have one?
Thanks for the help. Firewall settings are good, and I refuse to use any other Rom on my HD2. Nothing beats this one. Though, I may have to back it up with CWM and try some others. It's gonna take some serious time though.
It looks like there is a problem with UDP traffic on the phone. I get no udp traffic with any apps. Now I just need to figure out why.

New remote app .. doesn't work
I have installed the new fw on my Archos 70 and made it 'discoverable'. I have installed the Archos-app on my Samsung Galaxy S(i9000) and they are both on the same wifi network.
But my Galaxy doens't see the Archos. "no devices found'. Can anybody tell me what i'm doing wrong?
