hey guys i wanted to give people an idea of how this holds up to a full days use as my main os. Im happy to report that the battery very much surprised me.
Started this morning with it fully charged (though it only went to 99% after a full night charge) at 8am. Did my normal thing, texting surfing the internet, no calls only checked a voicemail and here it is 9pm and i have 43% left.
The phone never got any hotter than with winmo when surfing the internet. I didnt have any hangups, black screens, reboots or any issues at all. So it looks like it can only get better with more development.
My setup:
tmous HD2
Freshly installed newest energy rom
2.10 radio
dan1j3l froyo 2.2
july 23rd zimage
4gb class 10 micro sd
I've been running nearly the exact same setup even down to using the Energy ROM (although I'm using the July 21st build, like it better). It's worked beautifully.
Wow me too, Energy 21st build, only thing I don't like is the new lockscreen.
Anyways, even though WinMo is so much more polished, can't stay away from Android...
Been running straight for 3 days ish, advanced task killer helps battery life alot... I think. =)

There's a fairly simple registry edit to get rid of that Android style lock screen. I didn't like it either.
WinMo to me is much more visually pleasing, but I run Android when I want APPS. They have tons of games for free that are hundreds of times better than anything you can get for WinMo. I love that we as HD2 owners have the option of running both operating systems. We get to run WinMo or Android on the HD2 but if you have say, an EVO 4G, you think you'll be able to run WinMo for some of IT'S benefits? Hell no. And no matter what some people here may say, WinMo DOES have some benefits that Android does not.
Do you have the echo problem during calls?
Only occasionally but to be honest, I RARELY use my HD2 for it's phone, heh. I'm more of a text person and when I'm at the office or home I just use a lan line, as I only have 750 minutes a month shared with my fiancee since neither of us like to talk on the phone much.
Besides some known issues and instabilities my main problems are as following:
- no bluetooth headset (not working in my car)
- slow internef browser (scrolling is choppy)
- lags and timeout problems
- echo for outgoing calls
- no volume control
Crash

Personally I disliked WinMo, even with Sense. It felt so "static".
As for benefits WinMo has over Android, why don't you label some?
Even with the unstable builds, I've been purely using android on my HD2 since the SOD was fixed, and plenty before that too while I was at home and could keep it plugged in and the screen on.
i am running dan's first froyo rom with the 7/23 zimagemand i am mostly in love with it. everything works perfectly besides the known issues (which really don't use much anyway). battery life is pretty good. i was at 100% at about 2 pm and by the time i got off work, after listening to music for about an hour and a half, some calls, lots of messages, and installing all of my favorite apps, got home with 15%. im gonna see how long i can go without have to reboot or use winmo.
Little update on battery life, 11:34 pm and still have 35% battery, not too bad really. I had read in an early review of the evo that it couldnt go a full day without needing a charge.
I've been looking for a new device for a while (my magic is pretty outdated), I was pretty set on a Nexus until I walked in to a Vodafone store to kill some time and played with an HD2. I really much prefer the form factor and having a massive screen.
Is there anything stopping any of you from using Android as your daily driver?
Looking at the release notes of most builds it seems that everything's working, correct? Are there any problems with playing media? It's not an issue if I have to boot in to WinMo for watching a movie or something, but I'd rather not do for music and youtube.
the battery drain with hd2 under android is pretty high.
with some builds the power doesnt even last a day..

The clock in froyostone doesn't work as much. I tried to use the alarm but it never works.
Honestly... I love my HD2, but my answer will be "NO".
If the only thing you want is Android, get a native Android phone.
Wait for this: http://www.htc.com/us/products/evo-sprint
Now if you want the best of both worlds - WinMO AND Android - then the HD2 is the best choice, by very far, no other phone comes close.
This said, I'm using Android for daily use on my HD2 with this build:
Bangster 1.3 based on CyanogenMod 6.0.1
I just changed the settings back to 240 dpi, but it's the best I've tried so far, and everything works without a single crash for now. What's so great in this CyanogenMod based build is notably the build in graphic equalizer for all audio, something normal Android doesn't have. And fun thing, the equalizer/compressor/spacializer works better than the WinMO one.
Just have a little patience.the big event is tomorrow.HTC is presenting its upcoming handsets and HTC desire HD is one of them supposedly.

For me man it's worth it!
I use now android as my primary OS; i have small screen freezes (from 10 to 20sec) maybe once or twice a day but i can live with that! (winmo used to do worth )
Besides it has higher benchmark results than even Nexus one!
Ok it may not be as reliable as an native android phone but believe me it's really fast and smooth!
The best built i have used (and still using at this moment) is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773790
It's a nexus build too!
By the way! Yes the ONLY and BIGGEST problem for me is the battery drain (it is heavy on every android phone); if you are willing to recharge a lot go for it! (HD2 andro or an andro phone)
I've been using android on my HD2 for about 2 weeks now. Because i sit at a desk all day it's easy for me to keep the phone charged, but I can tell that battery drain would be an issue if I didnt have this luxury. The phone itself is a piece of art, and for me it's totally worth it to run android. The only issues i experience are the occasional screen freeze (the touchscreen stops responding, but buttons work. After about 10 seconds it responds again. Happens maybe 1-2x per day, livable) and I've had to reboot it about every other day to fix bluetooth hiccups and such. Im not a fan of having to reboot phones that much even though it's easy, but hey at least I get android right? Sometimes I just reboot it for no reason just to start the day off fresh.
Theres no other phone like this available other than a jailbroken EVO 4G, and even then you are carrier limited. I love getting 3.5G on my HD2, since I have t-mobile and therefore the phone is compatible with their network. I probably wouldnt want it so much if I could'nt access the cellular broadband network.
hey OP, i would tell you something! why would you buy a nearly one year old phone???? on top of that u know that it would not be supported for the new win 7 and android on it , well... it works but not how it should. i mean with its freezes and battery drain.
The best thing to do if you want an android phone is get an android phone!!!!!
you are tempted for a large screen, then wait for the htc desire hd (same as the evo). It is expected in the coming weeks ( before the end of the yr for sure).
getting a hd2 FOR android??
nope, wait for desire hd.

I'm thinking giving Android a try... have you tried NRGZ28's Energy Android ROM over the New Nexus One Android 2.2 Build FRG3 you mentioned above?
If you like android, buy a native android phone. If you like windows and want the possibility to sometimes try out android, but the HD2. The android on HD2 is never going the be as smooth as a native phone. Period!

I agree. Buy a native android phone. There are plenty out there.
In the US, if you are on Tmous, my humble belief is that HD2 is the best Android phone. Galaxy S is disappointing, and My touches, not so much. This could change, but right now I've been running Android exclusively. However, spend some time reading your particular android thread (several pages) so you get to understand the glitches and the workarounds. I've been running my setup now continuously for about 1 month, and will continue to update Android as it gets refreshed. The developers are fantastic in that thread, and the hardware is still some of the highest spec'd stuff out there.
Another thing is the price. I bet the DesireHD will be £400+. HD2 is around £200,might get the hd2 just because its so much cheaper

HD2 is far from the "best" Android phone available on TmoUS.
I have a Nexus one and an HD2...and my wife has the Vibrant. They all have their ups and downs...but I think once you throw LauncherPro and root/lag fix the Vibrant it completely smokes the HD2 in both fluid performance and visual display.
I still tinker with my Nexus...my G1 and my MT3G are retired permanently to the closet and I use my HD2 as my daily device running FroyoStone v1 and have not touched Winmo since the first stable desire build that darkstone made in early/mid July...I was one of the ones who bought my HD2 on launch day KNOWING that Android would come sooner than later, but if I had it to do again...I would have probably waited for the Vibrant to have a solid Android device.
As far as battery life...I can get a consistent 18 hour day out of my phone with 25-30% battery left with moderate usage...My HD2 gets much better battery performance than both my Nexus and my wifes Vibrant which have AMOLED and SAMOLED screens.
Now to answer your question...should you buy an HD2 for the sole purpose of running android as apposed to buying an Android phone?...If you like to tinker with gadgets and don’t get frustrated when things may not go right the first time or two...then by all means, get the HD2 and enjoy. If you want something that is going to give solid performance out of the box without any hassles...then go with the Vibrant and enjoy. I dont think you will be disappointed either way.
Or wait for the HTC vision aka g1 blaze

I have HD2 and Im running Android full time last week or so on this build. MCCM 1.5 build is based on FRG33 ROM (for nexus one) and I have outscored Nexus One 2.2 without overclocking CPU by at least 150-200 points on Quadrant. If overclocked I am hitting 1650-1700 easily where Nexus (non-clocked is) about 1250-1300 Quadrant scores.
I think it is worth of shot unless you simply want Android that updates itself instead of having Windows Mobile which you may not use.
FYI I prefer to have WinMo on the side as I have GarminXT - which I prefer over any navi over data on the Android OS.
I guess it is up to you and what really you want ... There is Galaxy with 4.0" screen with an Android OS which still works pretty good... Your choice...
Hi Guys
I would like to inform you guys I have found best perfomace build+kernal
I have tried various builds with various kernals for last couple of weeks.either I had battery drainage or stoppage or data corruption or laggy problems
Finally best one I tried is
MDJ_FroYo_HD_v._4.6_MDJ_S78.0 with update.kernel.hastarin.16.12.2010.Works perfect. battery usage is great to be honest with you better than window ROM and less laggy. no corrupted data or sudden stoppages.
Try guys.I bet this will be the best combination built I have ever tried.
Thanx Mdeejay and hasterin
what about RAM based built mdjay....?
And what's up with radio, sd-card, wm rom and such stuff?
Pretty subjective post and not really helpfull.
My radio 2.15
windows version 3.14
latest window version from HTC
first downloaded mdeejays and then extracted
then downloaded latest kernal from hasterin then copied into andriod .
thats it.best performance
imho its a useless post.
Best performance is very subjective
Besides , speaking of performance , ram version roms are on top , and thats not subjective
Spb TV does not work though. Have you tried it?

what is the battery drain is standby with current widget? cheers
I am heavy user with lots of wiget running plus data is always on .Having fully charged in the morning,it lasted all day without single charge.But other builds lasted only couple of hours.forget about SPB TV. you will always find some app will not work on any builts even in native android.but What i am saying is about good perfomance. try it feel it.just small piece of advice try before say something.

how long did you try the build until you reached your conclusion. 30min? 1hr? day? all builds work different for some people than others depending on winrom, radio, kernel, sdcard, apps installed, etc...
So what is it? whats the best build combo?Cause it seems to me that nothing is complete? Don't get me wrong their are some talented people here doing putting some incredible builds together and Ive tested a lot of them, but still cant seem to find that one build that could be used for long term daily use.Has any one else?
Ive searched a lot of threads and tried a lot of suggestion and not any real luck
what im using now seems to be pretty good but at times i have location and data drops and no mms.
I am using mccm 3.4 for weeks now without any problem. Other builds would crap out on me after few days of use. Just saying.

I have CR192 DESIRE HD as winmo rom, radio 2.15.50 and I'm running motoman evo carbon remix .06 and I have a great performing setup, I usually unplug my phone around 3am to go to work and by the time I go to bed around 8pm I usually still have around 15% on moderate use. I've been using this setup with a couple of different motoman builds as a daily driver for 5 weeks without using winmo at all. Honestly is all on phone to phone basis. No matter how much you try the same setup might not work the same for two different phones. The hardware is not 100% identical on every phone, that's why it never behaves the same, that's why there's always people saying they're having an issue while others aren't.
So pretty much I'm saying that while you think your setup is the best, others might not have the same result as you.
what a horrible thread, lol
anyways, i dont have the crazy amount of times to test multiple builds and you probably got your findings wrong
i am using MDJ 4.6 Desire HD and its good, but not great
it has its flaws and issues
today I just got a corrupted SD card with many files with weird names in them
i have tested the Darkstone RAM build, didnt like anything without Sense
i have tested MIUI , its blazing fast but the fact that it looks like iphone, bleh
your statements are subjective and totally unmeasurable
Why is this in the dev section?

Well the intention behind the thread is alright..Anyways, I am testing Gingerbread RAM V1.0 by MDJ and am getting less than 1% battery drain/hour which is the best I have experienced in 3months of trying various builds and it's rooted so SetCPU works. However, lots of other apps including Facebook are not working..I guess in time MDJ will show the way..
And I have 2.15 Radio, HTC latest ROM and HSPL
Mccm3.4 and mdj4.6 with non-newest-hastarin kernels are two build I will vouch for as daily drivers.
But no build is as reliable as a build with a .zip backup of itself on internal memory for speedy unzipping to sdcard.
I am running darkstones superram 1.5 now and loving it, and am looking forward to mdj's ram gingerbread rc5 when it comes out tonight or tomorrow.
On all these builds I named I see '6-9ma' standby battery drain a lot, 19ma sometimes.
i am using Motoman234_Desire_PCB_Sense_V1.0 work perfect all software work and installed fast and stable good back up
Anougher opinionated thread,this might work for you but might not be so good for someone else,its mostly down to personal preffrence but if you want a good Desire HD build then yeah its a good combo
Fishing for the best build
to begin with i have used radio 2.15.50 with wwe 3.14 original rom htc update,battery drainage was too high on windows and also android build,80% was the ram usage.so i have downgraded to wwe 1.66 and only upgraded the radio 2.15.50.i have been using MDJ REVOLUTION HD WITH HASTARIN 8.5.3 and its brilliant for daily usage.with moderate use, battery life is excellent.to me this is the best combination.i have also tried all other builds but i remained with this one.because its brilliant with animations and the lot.
one of our member has started this thread just to find out what he can use for his phone without trying other builds,because its easier for him to find out this way rather than doing himself.its not that he managed to find the best combination,HIS FISHING FOR THE BEST COMBINATION FROM THE OTHER MEMBERS.he will probably say he has tried all the other builds)
Not too be pee'ing you guys against the leggs.. but i'm using the same config now. for about 5 days and omfg.. this one really works! battery stands for a whole day while data always on. ( with gps always on about 14 hours before its drained )
no dropouts, no bull**** with ppp. no legs en a pretty good bench points.
other than stock 6.5 which other roms (Android, wp7, Ubuntu anything) have EVERYTHING working? and is smooth enough to be used? (i dont need silky smooth, but i don't like anything that runs like win vista on single core pc....lol)
basically i don't play lots of 3d games, and i like long battery life and good camera and decent music (not any "awesome" sound quality needed really...it should just sound good...not cracking noises and all)

Any OS will do, Android has everything working, and wp7 nearly so. Sd card android performs identically to NAND. Faster if it's a RAM build even, but worse battery life than NAND. Ubuntu doesn't work as well, but it's sd card only, so it's not your main OS.

If you want a ROM with everything working on the HD2, the Android Froyo Sense ROMs or Gingerbread AOSP ROMs are your best bet (Hyperdroid and Nexus HD2 are my personal favorites). I'm currently running WP 7.5 and have not experienced any hangups with the OS or any applications. Overall, the HD2 handles WP7.5 really well but you have to be able to live with no compass, buggy multi-touch, and mediocre pictures.
i actually need a working gps (i use sygic on Android currently),
a working camera (i don't care about hd video recording, but still photo should be good), a music player that can at least play songs without cracking (i don't care quality of music) and perfectly working phone/data/internet/wifi.
rest...if functions r not present....i can live with that..

Hey man, don't worry most roms if not all work pretty good the hd 2s battery is not the best but I've just learned to live with it. it depends on how you use it if you play a lot of games then your battery won't last very long I listen to music all day sometimes. I've had android on this hd 2 for a year so far hyper rom is my favorite gingerbread rom an pure cm very smooth rom I'm using a ics rom now an love it.
ok... so i guess I'll be buying out my friend's used hd2 then. (he never flashed anything....so I'll take it and straightaway tear it apart...multibooting, overclocking everything....)
it's THE most hacked phone in the world...and i really wanna own it.

RE WP7.5. Check the threads & you'll see that the battery life has not been resolved yet and also camera is not 100% yet - some are actually pretty poor.
Some comparisons of AD to WP6.5 seem to indicate the WP6.5 has better phone reception.
GPS AD or WP6.5 seem to be ok. Depends what you want from it. Some, like google maps can use a lot of data as you travel unless you download via wi-fi first. So take care if you have a limited data plan. But there are plenty of navigation apps that rely on onboard maps.
Even AGPS can really hurt on a limited data plan if it is not switched off!!!
I have tried several of the Android roms, but have shied away from wp 7 and 7.5 due to the lack of apps, and inablilty in 7.5 to modify the MMS settings (HTC Sensation that belonged to a customer turned me off of 7.5). The integration with Windows 8, which I beta tested, was nice, but that was about as far as that went. Between Apple and Android, there is an app for everything.
I have used MIUI, which I liked, except for the lack of an APP drawer (fixed with ADW Launcher)
Nexus ICS, which was good, except that the phone would freeze and reboot if I hung up a call with the headset plugged in.
SuperOSR is my favorite, but it has a lot of random reboots in areas with multiple wi-fil signals;
And the one I always come back to, TyTungs CM7. It is the most stable, and fastest, and seems to have the best battery life. ICS has the worst, but is definitely the best looking. Also, I found that you can't restore from 2.3.7 to 4.0 in titanium backup. The others do this very well.

Can anybody tell me hows the battery drain in wp .?
Well according to my use?
Also if its stable and fast and everything working?

latest WP7 is fast but off course bugs will always be there with custom ROM heck even RUU ones have bugs.
you have to charge everyday with WP7 as is for Android, see the link below it might help.
oh BTW you can dual boot if you like.
WP7 is stable and fast and everything works on the HD2.
However, after trying WP7 for a month, I went back to Android (MIUI) for two reasons:
1. Battery drain on WP7 was really bad, wouldn't even get a normal day's use from the battery without having to charge it by mid-afternoon.
2. There just isn't the scope of apps available, and (a personal reason, I know) there were some specific apps I need that I couldn't get for WP7.
The interface is slick and fast, app loading stable, and if some of my niggles were resolved I'd consider going back.
Peace

The battery can be problematic, but can easily be overcome with some tweaks and a spare battery, its not as much of a pain as you might think, and given that the HD2 had the luxury of being able to swap out batteries unlike some other phones its at least worth considering
if you are only doing as you suggest, FB, SMS, calls, an a bit of browsing. The WP is ideal, in fact id go as far as saying it was made for you out of the box WP beats the others hands down for such usage, it becomes somewhat more grey when you look at expanding on that but that situation will only get better with time.
I think even the most critical critics of WP agree that its people hub social integration (ie phone usage!) is unrivalled out of the box.
Im using it with WP for my main OS and carry a spare battery in my pocket (the cheapest one from ebay with external charger)
i using android but my friend got wp7 for me its better android for him wp7 when i buy my hd2 have wp7 in the same day i flashed for android for me no more win on phone
I would stick with android because it is so versitile. Wp7 is ok but i would say its more for the simple minded i guess i would say. I love android only if it had all the app thats iphone has it would be the best os out there.

Android
Stick with android so much versatility as stated above and your going to have the same battery drain with either op, Android is definitely the way to go
Stick with Android as WP7 , isnt as stable as Android
WP7 is very smooth and stable
but it does not have enough good apps
Correction, WP is very smooth, stable and out of the box has good functionality, if your wanting a phone with social abilities then its spot on, it does lack expandability though.
Android and WP have there uses, and both are very good at different things, any one that says one or the other is generally bad can and should be ignored
