I've already found those links! I dunno what to do! I'm w8ing for safest ways to boot Android on Blackstone...

You can't do anything yet, Android isn't running properly on our devices yet.

no rom for htc touch hd. I advise you not to try

NOOB!!!
ok, i tried installing the adroid versions on the HTC Touch HD, and it didnt work. Now my touch starts, and then switches off.
i suppose i now have to install something from scratch via a pc.
any ideas ?

you could try to do a soft-reset

or try the zip version but both version is the same.

Finally, FRX07.1 on my HTC Touch HD
Finally, got the FRX07.1 working on my HTC Touch HD.
I had tried installing from a folder on the microsd (shared with other WM apps) but that did not go well and the installation stalled on several occasions.
My first attempt using a dedicated microSD (class 2) AND keeping the files on the root worked, so this approach is highly recommended.
Update on Day 1 of installation
Android was not stable. Hanged a number of times. It might be due to the known problems of too-frequent read/writes to the microSD (mine is an 8GB). Will do a re-install using a 1 or 2GB microSD.
Update on Day 2 (2200hr GMT 23 Dec)
I decided to resize my 8GB to 2GB with Minitool. Looks more stable now than before resize.
Battery life seems to be fairly normal.
Time drift is about 10 mins per 12 hours.
Update on Day 2 (1035hr GMT 26 Dec)
FR07.1 seems to be stable the last couple of days and I am quite happy with it.
Resized my microSD back to 8GB with Minitool. Took 3 reboot attempts (first 2 stopped at animation screen).
Installed Launcher Pro (free) as default launcher as I also use this on my Android ICS Tablet.
Update on Day 4 (0811hr GMT 28 Dec)
Stable so far.
Battery life is about 12-14 hours with light use (few phone call/sms) rest of time on standby
Migrated over from my Class2 8GB microsd to a Class4 32GB microsd
Class4 microsd seems to be more stable.
So far 100% successful reboots out of at least 5 times. Did the reboots because of trying to get rid of the strange keyboard on top of screen:

The Fagyi's NAND is a good alternative. Its under development yet, but it looks so pretty, estable, and high speed. The battery life is one of its issues. In my Blackstone 10 hours with the las version.
Bye

the nand rom is what you mean

[Q] android speed

Hi there!
I was running my HD2 with a nice Dutty WinMO ROM and MaxManila, but I am kind of tired and would like to try out Android. But I read that sometimes the Android user interface on an HD2 is sometimes not very responsive or even slow.
Is anyone using Android on an HD2 without experiencing this "from-time-to-time-unresponsive" issue? And which builds are you using?
Also I would like to know what your opinion on speed of Android in comparison to Windows Mobile on an HD2 is in general.

Einstein was wrong, HD2 with Android surpasses the speed of light
The HD2 android it makes his first steps and there are many things to solve and make the devs.....In the other hand you must search for a good Android Build and testing testing testing.....No searching is mean you are not doing the job properly...

Mine runs pretty fast with Android, surely faster than it does with WinMo

It's still s work in progress but as for crashes and it being unresponsive mine us rapid.... faster than em honestly pal there's no going back once you've used Android...... its not 100 % yet but it is 98% you can always switch back.... android runs from SD not a flash so disable sense or ant RAM hoggers in WM and give it a go I recommend shubCRAFT

Mine HD2 with Android 2.2 and latest kernel runs fast, but is not as smooth as in WIN 6.5 (with speed tweaks), and it gets also hotter.
However the Android UI is far more user friendly and there is much more apps available. I'm not going back to WM anymore, even if the linux/android is not yet completely ported to HD2.
Anyway you should try it, as there is no need to flash it. Just select a build, copy it to CF and run haret...

apples to oranges I say.
I can run my phone at about half the clock speed and it not feel laggy but I am use to a G1. Winmo was to much drama for me even with the custom rom,radio and standing on my head and saying bloody mary 3 times in a mirror.

Windows feels snapper through menus. If I touch a menu button it opens so quickly. The performance of other things such as the browser are better under android.

Internet crashes too much on Android but when it does work it certainly is much faster, i look forward to when Android is 100% stable and we can boot it from start on the HD2 cos as it stands it's not relaible enough.

I've not been on wm for 8 days not rebooted my phone for 2days not. Been on charge for 14 hours and git 39% battery data connection fast and stable. Android is totally stable just needs tweaking ;-) and SHUBcraft is the most stable In my opinion

Android on our beloved HD2's is a labor of love....a work in progress VS long lived WinMo with the influence of MS behind it.
I'm using Android....different one everyday (or so it seems) and I enjoy the thrill of loading the build, tweaking and installing apps, but it's not faster than WinMo 6.5 - yet!

Wake Delay when using Android

Has anyone found an actual solution to completely get rid of the wake delay issue? What I mean by wake delay is when you try to wake your phone from sleep and the key pad lights come on but the screen stays black for a few seconds sometimes longer.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

What type and class card are you using? Seems to be related to card. I have 3 cards. 16gb class 2 Sandisk = no wake delay on any build. 8gb Lexar class 6 and other 4gb class 6 = 3-5 second wake delay on all builds except darkstone's Super_Ram build.

I'm using the stock 16gb class 2 SD card that came with phone. I've alreAdy formatted the card and I'm using ozdroid Windows Rom but I still get the wake delays...So with your 16gb class 2 card you get
Zero delays ? Maybe I should buy a different card.

Try reformatting with 32kb clusters.

This is a known software issue and is present in every single Android build on here. The devs all know about it and it's something that needs to be fixed.

Actually, I take that back. I'm using Ginger HD2 at the minute and it's a LOT better.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Well its random. It will work fine for a while then I start having long delays. It's good to know that its a known issue and the devs are working on it because its the only real issue that's keeping android from being stable. It sucks when you want to show someone something on your phone and it won't even wake up.

Seriously, if you can be bothered to set up a new build, try Ginger HD2. I can go into standby with the power button and then wake it again seconds later, and it works 99% of the time.

Probably is because GB is so much more resource efficient, so the sleep/wake process is faster. I cant wait til theres more complete/stable GB builds released after awhile. But for now, UltimateDroid does the trick for me as a daily driver.
One thing to prevent black screen on wake is to hold the power button instead of just pressing it. For some reason, this cuts way down on the black wakeups. Between that and using the newest kernel by MDJ, I almost never have black wakeups anymore.
Oh, and it seems to me that the lower class sd cards actually help run Android better. Don't ask me why, but class 2's seem to yield better battery life and even perform better, or at least as good as a 4 or 6

Ginger HD2 isn't a Gingerbread build. It's a 2.2.1 build with a Gingerbread look and feel to it (and the lovely new keyboard too!)

Did you try what I suggested? Also, do a chkdsk for errors on your card. I'm using stock 16gb Sandisk card and have no wake delay with any build and latest hastarin kernel. My phone wakes immediately even multiple back to back locking/unlocking.

I have reformated to 32 kb a few times and it has improved some aspects of Android but I still experience wake delays but not all the times only when I really need it. ;-)

Hmm... not sure why you're experiencing this issue, but I have one more suggestion for you. D/L Advanced Configuration Tool for WinMo. Once installed, open it up and go down to section for Power Management and enable all of the power management options, save and reboot.

I will try this in the next few days. I'm wondering if the wake delays are directly related to the inconsistent ear censors that control the wake and sleep of the phone when in a phone call. Sometimes I will take my ears off the phone to look at the screen and the screen won't light up for a good while. Happens when I end calls too sometimes, screen won't light up. I feel these 2 issues are closely related.

Hi
maybe you should try the last hastarin kernel v8.6, it seems it has got ride of those delays.
May we know what are you using now ?

I'm using hastarins 8.6 and the delay is still there. It is a tad better but not gone. I've tried various builds and they all have this very minor delay. It is not that long but can be at times. Sometimes I think people have different interpretations of instant. The best comparison is to try a Desire or Desire HD. Press the power button on those phones and it comes on INSTANT.

I'm using v8.5.3. I've noticed it mostly delays when I quickly sleep wake , sleep wake or like I mentioned before while on a phone call, trying to look at the screen. I feel that the solution to this issue can be found by adjusting the sensors, but Im no expert. Does any one use set CPU? I heard that can help.

thank's avery one ! but you didnt answer my question , it possible that the rom support the fast boot that in the desire HD ? and the sense ?

The ROM - it IS the Sense ROM from Desire HD.
Fastboot - you have Nexus, not Desire HD. Fastboot is tied with the phone, not the ROM.
I believe you don't know what you're talking about yet, so you should read some more.

The fast boot feature the OP is talking about has nothing to do with fastboot, just in case anyone is getting confused at this point

Good one! Some more confusion. Sorry for being the confused one.

i meen what DirkGently1 said , so i tried: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791151
and like i thought it doesnt support the fast boot , and it often stuck [maybe because it steel beta] , i search in google but i dont sure that the rom i find support the fast boot , may you please give me one that support it ?

I am not a dev but I think the major problem with Desire HD roms on N1 is that they used too much ram memory,an usual N1 rom is ~100mb while a Desire port rom 150mb and the Desire HD port...260mb!!!
Meaning every and each stock app is heavier and is slowing down the N1!
The only solution is to replace some stock HD apps with normal Desire ones to make it lighter...
Anyway the best rom will be Desire HD + gingerbread for N1
Perhaps I will buy the desire 2 before it will be available

ahhhh now i'm understand why tha N1 stuck often.. but the rom is great so i dont care , one of the most importent thing for me ib this rom is the fast boot , something that very miss to me ,

Well, as it usually happens, it's wrong, and on more than one point.
It's not RAM, but Flash memory that Desire HD ROM uses. And using Apps2SD, it doesn't matter at all. It doesn't slow down N1, it doesn't get it stuck, it doesn't do anything of the sort. The apps just run as they do - and the CPU between Desire HD and Nexus One is EXACTLY the same (minus GPU and some other small differences).
If the ROM gets stuck - it means that the porting didn't work 100%, and there are still unfinished corners left. The same about the features - what's missing is missing because the phones are different and some things weren't adapted to run well on another phone with different HW.
To OP: this feature - quick boot from hibernation - is specified in the ROM thread and is working, and it's even shown on Youtube. If you don't get it working - it means you don't know how to. You're probably turning off the phone instead of hibernating it, and expect it to boot as fast as it would resume from hibernation.

Remember to wipe phone before install a new rom. Plus do a back up before even doing anything. nandroid back up now...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

i must to put the n1 on hibernating ?
in yhe desire HD it also like this ?

Of course it is. The ROM can't and doesn't boot in 5 sec - it resumes from hibernation in 5 sec.

so what is good in hibernating ? i can lock the n1 and it the same

Hibernate = power off, memory saved on flash. The power isn't drawn from the battery (well, almost).
Lock = power on, sleep mode. The power is drawn from the battery.
See the difference?

Is there a solution for 2 sec wake up lag?

I own an 512 eu htc hd2 and I have prj 3.2 nand rom.
I have a very bad wake up lag is there a solution for this problem?

Uninstall setcpu and if it doesn't work just stfu, I have this issue as well but crying out loud, it's 2 seconds, you guys are just over reacting, nothing is gonna be perfect, hell the HD2 runs android better then most native devices in terms of performance, so let's just be grateful and mention this bug every ten minutes, ffs it's only 2 secs anyway, some people can't even use their touch screen or launch android.
