my favorite
nexushd2 froyo
best build ever, make sure to get launcher pro and your good
everything works
very stable
nothing great about gingerbread

is there a way i can cyanogen mod on it...cause the thing is, i am using this version right now but it is missing the radio and i love listening to radio.

ive tried a good few of sd builds and NAND ones too and the best build i have used is the MyTouch 4G build by Motoman... he has made NAND and sd builds and as far as everything working smoothly for everyday use his is the best. if you wanted to look at it here is the thread link.

Don't forget that Honeycomb is being worked on (we're not talking tablets).
Anyone cooking Android v2.3.3 yet?

Froyo coredroid

[Q] Which ROM?

I am looking for a NAND ROM for Android 2.1-2.3 with HTC Sense.
I have been told I am looking for a stock desire ROM.
Where can I get such a ROM and what Radio do I use?
Please tell me where to get the Stock Desire ROM as I can't find it anywhere.
And I'm going to be using MAGLDR if that helps.

depends on whther you want a standard desire rom like skinks or a hd version such as imilka or rafpignas
i personally perfere the hd versions and have run roms from both the above and both produce fantastic roms
currently im using ilmilkas hd ram version which is very very fast with rafpignas 1.9 kernel

Thanks
And it will work on NAND, right?
I was going to use clockworkmod to install it.
Do I just copy it to the SD card and boot clockworkmod?
In this circumstance does the CLRCAD and HARET files matter.

you install it on nand, clrcad and haret are for booting from sd card they are not neeed when using nand

rom desire hd

You can also try HD2 CoreDroid HD. It´s a beautiful ROM, very fast, and stable. The instructions to install it are in my signature. The link is here. Let me know whar you think.

When gingerbread comes with a decent dialer and calendar app I will quit Sense. Until then, it is the best interface for me.

here is a good one im using right now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915159

Rafdroid HD 4.0.2 is better than the actual Desire HD. My best mate owns one, my HD2 is faster and has longer battery life.

no Sense rom is better,I am sure.

[Q] Nand or Sd or??????

Hey guys, I have an htc hd2 that has Coredroid hd2 ver 1.6 on it....I installed this using magldr and daf .....this phone is used, but new to me, and I know nothing about this daf stuff...lol....I want to put Cyanogenmod 7 back on it...I downloaded one version but gave me errors when I tried to use magldr to get it to install...I dont recall the errors....I think some usb thing...afraid to try again...lol
Does using daf.exe in the rom file mean this is a nand configuration on the phone?.....What can I do to get cyanogenmod7 on it?.....Could someone provide me with a direct link to a rom that will work....I thought I had the right ones, but couldnt get it to flash so I chose coredroid...but phone is buggy with that and cm7 rocks.......I would really appreciate it....Sorry...I have googled and oogled all over, but I am gettting deeper in confusion....Thanks so much....Larry

i didnt like a few things about American Android where the DPI of the text was quite small which resulted in a few ugly looking interfaces such as
applications
unlock screen
menu settings etc
notifications bar
dont get me wrong, i used a build from early April 2011
i hope those are resolved by now or could be fixed, which I admit I didnt explore

I would agree as well. AmericanAndroid was my first foray into Android on my HD2 (getting my TP2 to work w/ Android at all was a huge struggle). In any event, it's a build I can use for my day-to-day work. I have everything I need working, 3G, wireless, GPS, texts, phone, gmail, Exchange email, maps, Facebook , twitter, etc...to tell you the truth I haven't gone back to WinMo since. I still like WinMo and NRG's ROM's with all the great customizations that Poyensa, Nordpolcamper,MrBeOTP2, lnando84, etc do. But I saw that I was making my phone more and more like Android, so why not just use Android? Good luck!

I have wp7 on nand and half of my sd, then dual boot sd Android build with the other half, my current build I am trying is BOYPPC honeycomb ginger thingy, developers are getting back into sd builds now the rush to nand has subsided a little, my thoughts are if you have a device capable of running two operating builds via dual boot, why not user it, NAND is just turning your hd2 into a almost hd desire but not quite, WP7 only turns your hd2 into an hd7 almost but not quite, in my many many tests and trials with my hd2 over the last year NAND and SD builds have very little differences now, in fact I find my latest sd build has a minimal unlock lag as apposed to the slightly more lag with the nands.
So really unless your an Android only or wp7 only fan or possibly a windows mobile only fan use the DUAL Force Luke...
WP7 DB Android SD then
Windows mobile 6.5.5 DB android sd next NAND android then WP7
WOULDN'T it be great if we could quad boot

You can change the LCD density to 240 easily using AmeriCanAndroid.

I remember that I did change it to 240, but still somethings was looking funny and odd , but not everything
maybe I should give this a GO again

AmeriCanAndroid SD build is stable enough. Try it.. there's FAQ which will guide you through the set up.

they've actually changed the default dpi again (to 167), but once again its adjustable.
I think it is currently the only stable (near stock) Gingerbread SD rom available?

Me too MMC GB 2.1. Everytime I use american droid I find something to throw me back. So they are not that similar. Where did you get version 3.0?

MccM HD V4.5
A few hours ago. Mr. mccmjoon76 has updated a newest version of MCCM HD v4.5. I am just downloading it and of course will give a try asap when the dl has finished!! I have tried all builds from him and I really like them, mate!!! Thanks very much to Mr. mccmjoon76
For the AmeriCanAndroid builds are very stable and smooth which I have been using since 032611! It hasn't give me much trouble except some programs will only display very small on the screen and I am sure there are ways to fix it but I just don't know how!!!

i use 3 android roms im my sd now. Americandroid is really fast and stable. its looking isnt so good but withsome widgets i have a nicer scene. second is coredroid , a desire hd build ,it is also fast and has sense. third is miui rom, its very nice but has many problems.i flashed many version of it and found a stable one. i tried almost all sd roms in xda, these three are my favourites.

Which of the miui-roms are you talking about? After (Vodafone) connection problems in a Desire rom I am looking for a new one which is stable for daily use.

[Q] Some ROM Suggestions, please.

Hi,
I had flashed a near stock NAND ROM but was constrained on space. Then tried out an SD ROM, still works well, but found it too slow for comfort
Could anyone please suggest a stable, working, daily use (with everything working) NAND ROM with:
1. HTC Sense
2. A2SD
3. Daemon Controller (preferable).
4. Working camcorder and camera without lags.
Believe me, spent a lot of time searching.
I don't care too much about the themes, the stock HTC are good enough for me.
Thanks,
jiggyk
P.S.: If someone could suggest a stable and fast SD ROM having the above (without #2, of course), that too would do and I would be thankful.

All GB Sense ROMs have camcorder bugs, unfortunately, so I don't think there are any ROMs which don't have this. Unless, of course, Froyo Sense is good enough for you. I've found Froyo Sense to be fast, smooth and stable. I would also recommend trying a CM7 ROM (e.g. Typhoon/Hyperdroid) as these are very fast, and can be themed to look like Sense.

Thank You for your prompt reply.
My preference for HTC sense is primarily because it nicely links my facebook, whatsapp, etc. contacts and shows mobile numbers and email addresses of facebook friends far and near who I did not have in my contacts list hitherto.
However, these ROMS you have suggested, do they have A2SD built in? I am also assuming that the camcorder bugs are in the ROMs with sense. Is that correct??

jiggyk

To answer your questions, yes (I think) and yes.

For stable version you can try Nexus One Rom by Tytung.The base is ligther and the rom is smooth but other rom also has its advantage.

Thanks for your reply, I went through the ROMs you suggested.
The pyramid ROM, you mean version 8.0 on this page, right? Version 9.0 is not pyramid based
Any idea if this ROM is based on Android 2.2 or 2.3??

pyramid 8se should do u fine,v9.0 may have alot more bugs etc,but there's no reason why u shouldn't try haldric rom or RCMix3D rom,that's what im using at the min but will be going back to haldric's rom when he updates it next

as far as im aware,but im using v4.0,not all apps can go to sd though,its the only prob i can't work out.......e.g: when using pyramid rom with a2sd,i downloaded facebook for android,went to settings and moved it to sd card,now the rom im using has a2sd also cos i go to sd-ext folder and all my downloaded apps are there,but facebook is not possible to move via settings,but if no joy i came across a free app in the market called Link2SD AND ALL THE APPS I CAN'T MOVE VIA APPLICATION/SETTINGS I CAN MOVE USING LINK2SD.........so i'm 1 happy guy lol
also,if u wait till tomorrow,he says 4.1 is being released with glitches fix and less bugs,but have a play with this version,if u like it,download v4.1 when released(fri)

if you want sense with everything working and i mean a camcorder at 800x480 rather than 320 then you will be looking at a froyo based rom not a gingerbread rom
personally i have moved from a sense rom to a miui rom and changed to go launcher ex and am more than happy with it, its alot faster than sense

Team Blue Droid have produced an excellent sense 3.5 Rom which looks the business and works far better than many others I have flashed recently on mh EU HD2. I am not that technically minded regarding SD card partition types, but I run mine via SD card after flasing a 1024 partition using CMR and the accompanying DAF.exe.
From reading many threads I understand camcorder is less than perfect on most roms at highest res.

Thanks for your inputs, everyone!
I had the same problem of all apps not going through to the SD, and the remaining memory would not go over 25-30MB at any time, with a near stock Froyo ROM. (Yes, it is a very fast and stable sense ROM). I think I'll take your advice and wait for 4.1 and then see how it goes, will download it over the weekend. Also this Link2SD thing looks interesting!!
The Team Blue ROM looks very impressive indeed, what with the Daemon Controller and all, but, going through the forum, many have had glitches with the wifi, network, etc. I thought I'd wait for this ROM to settle, but now that you say that they aren't making any more.......

As far as I know you can't just put Sense on an Android build, that simply isn't how it works (otherwise a tonne of people would have been doing it for a while now) and if you did manage to combine those, it wouldn't be usable with just 512mb of RAM anyway

The choice is up to you. My personal preference is CM7, but if you really want ICS then go for it I guess.

Its all based on what you want on your phone. Some people like sense, some like miui while others like cm7. Look at the videos on youtube and in the post of the ROM your looking at to try and get an idea of what you want on your phone. Not to complicate things but here is a list of around 300 Android ROMs for the HD2. Most are old but even many of the old ROMs still run great and are at least worth it to look at.

ok ty very much for the info!

I donwload AOKP for HD2 but not have a config for email ? (entreprise ou activesync) ! why ?

I'm using Tytungs CM9 ICS v1.5 rom as my daily rom. Had some problems initially (hot reboots once per day) but after upgrading CWM from 4 to 5.0.2.6 (not sure about exact number, the latest anyway) its been running smoothly with an occasional hot reboot. LOVE ICS, battery life is better than my old GB rom and data usage has reduced a lot.
It's no sense but you may like it

Hi m8!!
at the present there's only one ICS Sense Rom cooking, you may find it here:
