Hi, can anyone tell me whats the best andriod rom relese for daily use and games? BTW i need full guide how install android os on htc touch hd step by step. Thanks.
There isnt one as yet that I think your after.
Most android builds are still just alpha in the sense that the HD will not work 100%, the GPS or camera will not function, or other missing key parts as such.
I don't believe you will find a complete 100% working build just yet, but I do think they are getting closer.
i know that there arent any 100% working but whitch release are best?
have a look over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921687
if you choose xdandroid
there are several xdandroid verisions that work on HD,but xdandroid version that is quickest on our devices can be found here,together with instructionshttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732362
if you want to try froyo x

version 1.12 is in the first post
version 1.21 is in the second post
i didn't get wifi to work on either of these on my phone,but there are guys that say it works on HD
i suggest you to try 1.12 first
just download it,extract to sdcard
if you want to use a folder on sdcard so these files don't mess with others make a folder called andboot.froyox
extract everything there
open the folder go to "startup" folder in which there is "blackstone" folder,open it and copy startup.txt to folder in which you extracted the zip (overwrite the old startup.txt if you get prompted)
open the startup.txt file delete everythin,and paste this instead
set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2030
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77 msmvkeyb_toggle=off msm_blackstone_pad.vibrate=1 pmem.extra=1 gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3 rel_path=andboot.froyox"
boot
save the startup.txt
and run HARET.exe
give the phone a bit time to compile the image (can take 10 minutes)
and that's pretty much that
post any additional questions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627749
and please read forum rules and do not open new threads asking things because that is what FAQ threads are for
ah yes and always search before posting (that's how i learned to do this)

If you use a Froyo version, then you need to put all files inside the folder called "Android" in the SD card.
Cheers!
Android work but if I want to reboot my Phone it comes sometimes to this problem
than I have to format my sd card and kopie android on the card angan
Same problem here. I use the mattc Froyo RC 1.5 (all files are in the root of the sd-card). If i delete the Andriod folder the problem doesn't occur anymore. But i have to delete this folder erverytime i want to start Android! Found this possible solution in another thread!

what version of android?
its a problem with the startup.txt. check the first page of whichever android build or zimage you are using.
@rock4mayo -> change the sd-card... like "buy a new one!?!"
@thesweeney -> its a package called shubCRAFT v1.2b. i think its android 2.2 but I´m not sure witch version it is exactly..
the startup txt says this:
"set mtype 2524
#set ramaddr 0x18000000
#set ramsize 0x17c00000
set ramaddr 0x18000000

@thesweeney: i found this a minute ago... u think thats it?!?:
If you get "unable to mount sdcard" plz replace "set cmdline "rel_path=Android"" with "set cmdline "rel_path=Android loop_partition=mmcblk0"" in startup.txt

Maybe you must use this file:
View attachment startup.txt
Please try it again.Good luck!
you must Move this files from Root of sd card to Android Folder
and run it from /SD Card/Android
Good morning everyone.
@jerrylzy: thx for the file, but it doesnt change anything...
@Vahidmoby: also tried your advice, but didnt work too..
can someone maybe explain to me, why first this was working, and the second time i try to start it, its not loading/working anymore... this is reeeeeaally costing me nervs and it would be great to just understand why?!?

Lol guys relax.. u dont have to buy a new SD card. I was having same problem and i posted a lot abt this in threads but no reply.
So wat i did was. Take the android folder u download, make a folder on SD card named Android or AndroidRC or something.
Copy all the android files in that folder.
After u do that open the startup.txt
and change Android to watever name ur using. like Android or AndroidRC
set cmdline "rel_path=Android"
Save it and it should work.
I am using 4-5 different builds on same SD card and after i did this i did not have any issue booting.
Let me know if u need more help.

Hi everyone, this is something I know it's possible because I read someone already did, but I can't find where I read it.
They said it was done by renaming the android folder to android2 or whatever and adding a line to startup.txt
Any clues? Thank you

It is possible.
1.. First copy of Android on SDcard with whatever name ( Name your Android Folder). Then edit the startup.txt with the same Android folder name in set cmdline "rel_path=YOURANDROIDFOLDER"
2. Second copy your second Android on SDcard with whatever name......Then exit the startup.txt with the '''''''''' cmdline "rel_path=YOURANDROIDFOLDER"
3. If want more android..... repeat step 1...2...3
Then use an Android Loader by [APP] Exceller Multiple Build Loader for AndroidUbuntu Updated August 18 to load your choice of Android.

I always have 2 sd cards dedicated for my HD2. When I am ready to try out a new build, I throw it on the 2nd sd card. If the new build works well I stick with it and if not I fall back to the previous build. It makes a lot of sense for me because well I have 2 sd cards and only one phone.
Hi, im planning to buy a HTC HD2 these days and i will most likely use Android as the default OS. Now i wonder if the ROM must be installed on SD or can i just boot it? For example if i want to boot Sense rom one time and non sense next time, do i need to reinstall something or just boot it up?
Im really looking forward getting my HD2, ive been watching youtube like crazy now.. gotta go sleep hahah
There are boot loaders you can install in winmo. Some support multiple android builds which will allow you to choose sense/no sense builds on boot up. By doing so though, your data from your sense build will not be available on your non-sense build and vice versa.
Ignore the any "dual boot" app for a minute. Most Android builds I have seen can happily coexist with as many other builds as you have space for on your SD card. Just make sure:
* they reside in distinctly named folders (e.g. rename the build's Android folder to whatever you want)
* the startup.txt in each build's folder refers to the folder name (see instructions in the EBL thread)
As each build comes with clrcad+haret, you can now freely launch whichever build you want with File Explorer.
Note that the builds are not perfectly insulated from each other:
Most builds seem to use an "Android" folder on the SD card for various data and caches. Avoid putting a build in this folder! Be wary that data in this folder may be incompatible between builds, though I have not yet had such a problem. If in doubt, rename the folder to something else (or backup and delete) and reset your build.
Also note that many apps directly use the SD card for storage - this may cause data leakage between builds (I find it's a good thing, as data [like downloaded game files] and configs are basically reused).
I also find it very useful to "temporarily factory reset" a build. Basically, I rename data.img to data.img2 and reboot. This way I can figure out if a problem is caused by my own meddling, or by something in the build, then I rename back and reboot when done. I often keep a backup data.img in which I have only set up the barest essentials (OOBE, Market account, Ti-backup and Root Explorer) for such testing.
Now, for a "dual boot" WM app which supports several build folders, I recommend EBL.
Hello everybody!!!
I'm a very noob user, so i please a need a step by step help!
I tryed to install a dual boot on my hd2, with android ICS (MIUI) on SD, and windows mobile 6,5 on NAND.
To get that result i used this Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504369
..but, in the the guide is written:
"Instructions:
Well you know just extract everything and put the miuiics folder in your root of sd card, you know the rest.."
maybe a link to the guide is better then "you know the rest..."!
I don't Know the rest, and I proceded in this way:
1) Inistalled the MAGLDR
2) copyed the rom of android on a SD card
3) Configured the setting to make a boot to SD and Android working perfectly!!
Now I even need to use windows mobile 6.5, but I don't know to switch on it!
I think that MAGLDR is overwritten on WM6.5 rom, and now I have a phone with only android, where is impossible to make a dual boot!!!
Anyone can write me the procedure step by step to retry to install correctly the dual boot with WM6,5 and android MIUI ics? Is even good a link with a guide that I didn't found!!!
I have 2,08 HSPL.
Thanks anticipately for your explains!

Please do some more reading before flashing anything, if you didn't have an HD2 you would probably end up hard bricking your device if you didn't read. MAGLDR replaces WinMo. You need to boot into the bootloader, flash an official stock ROM via USB then run the SD build via CLRCAD and HARET.

OK you seem to be very confused with your terms, so I'll simplify things for you:
1. Turn the phone off
2. Boot into the bootloader (stripey screen) by holding power and volume down
3. Flash the latest 3.14 stock ROM (WinMo) for your particular device (see on HTC's official website, it has the downloads plus a guide)
4. Place the 'Android' folder on the root of your SD card. Note that the name of this folder may vary from build to build, but it is always the folder containing all of the files.
5. Boot into WinMo then find the file explorer
6. Open the 'Android' folder (or whatever it's called) and find the file 'CLRCAD.exe' and run it. You will not see any visual change
7. Find the file 'HARET.exe' and run it. Android will be booted.
8. After first boot, be patient. Give the device time to settle and then once everything seems fine (after at most 5 minutes) reboot.
9. Once you reboot, you will have WinMo again. Simply repeat steps 6 and 7 to boot into Android.
If this guide isn't simple enough for you, then in all honesty I don't think I can help you much, you'll have to find someone who's more noob-friendly

Thank you so much for the help, but i just tryed this way!!!
In my situation, at point 8 of the guide, my phone restarts after about 30 second (no 5 minute) and then go in loop...
After the restart, the phone enter in WM and ask me to run CLRCAD.exe, and HARET.exe (in this order) and i accept.
The phone starts the loading screen of android, and restarts again.
It always restarts, without going into Android! I have seen at least 10 restarts before try to install Magldr!!!
I don't know the cause, but i think that android ICS is not compatible with the "Android loader V6". I used this loader with android gingerbread without problem!
Now in the link with ROM, i read:
"Ported using Portadroid Ultimate v4.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1094372 "
but the page does not exist!!!! What is portadroid ultimate? is it the bootloader?
I'd not worry about the bootloader and other terms much if I were you, it's not important for SD Android anyway
I apologise if I can't be much more use but I haven't used SD Android in a long time . The only thing I can think of is this: EDIT: see bottom of the post first, then try this
1. Find the SD Android build which you have downloaded on your PC
2. Open the folder and find the file 'startup.txt'
3. Find the line 'Rel_path=' and make sure that the next word matches the name of the folder in which the build is stored, for example if I had an SD build with the folder name 'Android', that line in startup.txt should also say 'Rel_path=Android'.
The only other thing I can think of is that somehow the folder isn't in the root of your SD card. Make sure the folder which contains the files (so in the example I gave previously this folder would be called Android) is copied to the root of your SD card. There should be no sub-folders or anything like that, just /Android.
EDIT: I think I may have found it now, try uninstalling the automatic loader app you have (Android Loader V6) and running these files manually rather than doing it automatically. If I'm not mistaken, this app looks for a folder named 'Android' by default, but the name of the folder your ICS build is stored in may be something different.
Just to add that ICS SD builds are often in an 'ICS' folder instead of 'Android'
It shouldn't matter using CLRCAD.exe, and HARET.exe though.

That is correct. If I read it right, Android Loader had been set up already for a previous build. When you do this, you tell the app what folder to look for - i.e. "Android". Now that you have a different build, different folder name, the app cannot find all the associated files to boot from SD properly.
Your folder name is miuiics
