im in the same boat .. dont know what to do ..
:/

I was hoping that the thread would help me decide!!
I m gonna flash CM6.1 froyo on HTC will be the same experience but faster. its time for something new

I've already Froyo and do miss CM actually, so I'm going for this one, thats for sure!

why there are no news in cyanogenmod website?

I got the link from cyanogenmod website. It's under the nightlies section. Weird but its there
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App

are there release notes?
also wondering if i should flash this or wait for official htc froyo...?

I'm waiting for official froyo but maybe I should try this rom. But I have some questions before
Does it have FM radio? It'll be possible with released sources from HTC?
And wifi hotspot support?
Is root necessary? Can you unroot once the rom is installed? Altought temporary root can be useful (like sudo in linux), being always root is a big security hole. I'm not sure if many people understant what being root means in linux (and android).

No
Not AP, but Ad-Hoc works using barnacle
Yes, it is.
Rooting is not much more of an issue - you still need to specifically give apps superuser permissions

ok so im downloading 2.05 now. willl update to froyo first.
is rooting froyo easier or will i have to downgrade back to 1.31?
hope visionary+ or Z4root work with froyo. that would be a life saver coz download speeds are slow and expensive in my country :S

Anyone compared performance froyo vs CM6.1?

i didn't understand a thing:
flashing this rom, the kernel change? if yes, is OC?

I had the vodafone froyo rom but I flashed CM6.1 as soon as it came out. (used nightlies before)
And CM6.1 is just that bit snappier. If you don't really worry about that split second diffence (but I do) then you should go for Sense (it's nicer )
But I just like a snappy phone (I should have bought the Desire I know )

Lets see how many of the ppl thats updating to froyo now finally will go for CM6.1
Sent from my Legend using XDA App

Yeah, I'm waiting for some feedback. Using MoDaCo's Custom Froyo at the moment. Nothing GREAT, so if CM6.1 is worth it, I will install that.
Let the feedbacks begin!

Just wanted to say that I rooted to Cyanogen before froyo came to the Legend.
All in all I think I prefer it over 2.1 Legend.
It took a few days to get used to and I have missed a few HTC goodies - namely sync and the HTC keyboard (which is suprisingly a mile ahead of the default Android one). But there is a workaround (I've been told) so will give that a try soon.
I'm ever so tempted to give Sense Froyo a go and see what it's like as I don't really have anything to compare it to.
All in all though - I can't really say I've missed Sense too much; I've noticed a few things that stock Android could learn from Sense but on the whole not missed majorly.
If I upgrade to Sense Froyo - can I then root again or am I stuffed?

(oh and rooting was a piece of piss... After I stopped cursing for an hour and realised I needed to downgrade.)

android 2.3 hacked evo rom on a dhd

I noticed that the guys in the evo section have a dev/test only 2.3 rom compiled from reverse engineering off the 2.3 sdk. They have already got most of the functions to work, all a bit buggy but cool all the same. I was wondering if I were to flash a evo rom onto my DHD and it didnt work would I still be able to use clockworkmod and reflash my nand backup off sc card?
Or am I just crazy to even think of trying?

I also noticed while rooting/updating my mates Sony Ericsson X10 that there is a sdk dump of 2.3 available. Doesnt really work but still nice to check it out
Anyone willing to do a sdk dump or point me in the direction of how to do it

Ok i attempted to flash the evo 2.3 rom on my DHD.
Didnt work, guess it is because wrong kernal.
Am I the only person who would like to see a skd port of 2.3?
Just to check out, obviously would not run well enough to use as daily rom.
If any1 can point me in the right direction I would love to learn how to port/compile over from a sdk.

I'm as eager as you are! I want a tasty gingerbread
But i'd suggest you wait until a rom is released SPECIFICALLY for your phone...jumping ahead can result in great losses...i'm sure you don't want a £450 paperweight
And trust me, time will fly, before you know it some smart XDA Chef will have released an optimised rom just for our shiny Desire HDs!

I strongly suggest that you don't do this roms must be device specific

[Q] Android Gingerbread or Froyo?

hey guys
just wondering which one should i install on my htc hd2, is it going to be android gingerbread or android froyo, and also i am going with the NAND and not the SD one. also can you please tell me your preference along with the URL of that post so then i can download and install it.
Thanks.

and also I ] prefer with the cyanogen mod. but u can go any one u like.
P.S. sorry for double post.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895059
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

i am rooted now what

i rooted my evo with no problem and now i dont know what to do next gingerbread, honeycomb, icecream where do i start?

If you want to try AOSP, I'd recommend CM7. But start there...in the development section is all the roms, go take a gander. There are some gingersense rom [sense 3.0] if you like sense.

Start by googling:
You will need Rom Manager, Titanium Backup, Kernel Manager...
Rooted apps Wireless Tether for root users, cache mate, bunch of other stuff...
Cyanogen 7 is an awesome AOSP rom which really helps with battery life and performance and is very slick.
Before you even begin playing with all this stuff remember to do a nandroid backup. You can use Rom Manager to do this.

nandroid = backup security. don't flash something without it.
start with stable ROMs to get the hang of it. I would not head straight for the Kindom sense 3.0 ROM out the gate, for instance, or you'll be like "wtf, did I do something wrong?"
In the world of Evo, there are two kinds of people. AOSP, and Sense. Most people after using different flavors of the two settle into one line they like, and even though they may flash out of line from time to time, they end up back in base camp. so flash at least one stable full featured AOSP and Sense ROM, use each for a couple of days, and develop your taste. That'll help you narrow your choices a bit more in the future.
also, the little search button in the threads is your friend. by the postings I see lately, you would think it doesn't exist. don't be that guy.
happy flashing

I say NO to ROM Manager and Kernel Manager.
Stop being lazy, noobs, and start flashing in Recovery, like you're supposed to.
Or read about how many problems people just on here have reported having after using one of those apps.

I'd recommend Kernel Manager just to download and search for kernels. Then flash them manually through recovery after wiping cache/dalvik.

Just curious, because this thread comes up all the time, why did you root the phone if you didn't have a reason to?

because the cool kids are..
OP... seriously...you need to stop.. and do more reading before you move forward. your post suggests that you aint got a clue.. yet. but you are headed in the right direction.

I finally rooted about a month or so ago, downloaded Rom Manager and Titanium backup with Busybox and such and made a nandroid backup of my original rooted configuration. Been very useful as I keep coming back to it. Haven't had any issues using the root apps. Tried both CM7 and MIUI and they both have some cool features.

Yes development thread...there is SO MUCH that you can do now.

[Q] HD2 Android Rom without sense UI please?

So I absolutely love my HD2 with android on it. So much better than windows! But sense keeps getting in the way of my apps (mostly Wiimote apps) and it is getting really annoying...Is there a way around that? Or more to the point, does anyone know of a good rom that is android without sense that I can run?

cm7 based builds give you a good performance. you can also try miui builds they are fast too.

What problem are you having? (former serial ROM flasher!!!!)
Are you using HD2 Toolkit, makes life a lot simpler for flashing ROMS etc

if you ask 10 people here what rom they like your bound to get 20 different responces. your best bet is to try each rom intill you find a rom you like and stick with it. i have 2 or 3 roms i like best and keep them on my sd so when i feel i need to change i just flash 1 real quick.
if you take a look at this web page there is a list of all the android roms listed here on XDA. its much easier to look through then the pages here & also it tells you if it has sence or not, when it was updated, if its a nand or sd version, when it was added as well as some other useful information. i would check it out and hopefully you can find a rom you like that works for you.

Go try to "TyphooN CyanogenMod 7".
I think you will like it if you don't like sense roms.

Which CM rom is the closest to normal CM7 without any themes or graphical changes? Would it be Tytung's NexusHD2?

Well the problem i am having now is that i can't get ANYTHING not even an original HD2 rom to update onto my phone...The HD2 toolkit is the MAGLDR CMW and SPL thing right?
