I've been booting Android from the sdcard for a bit now but with the occasional freezes and really poor batt life, I am hoping the NAND method would help alleviate that at least.
Looking for a NAND rom for TMobile USA HD2s with the least amount of non-functional stuff obviously . There's so many NAND roms in the NAND dev page, I don't even know where to begin.

It depends , do you want sense or not , froyo or gingebread , good battery life or good performance, build where everything is working or where something isnt but you dont care about it.
try some builds and if you dont like them flash another one.
You should try a RAM rom in the sd section. Those are very fast. Faster than the NAND one im using now.only reason why im using NAND now is because Im too lazy to go back.

I'd give cleanDroid a try. With the exception of wifi hotspot, everything appears to work.
im looking for the one that have the battery drain level comparable to WinMO... cause most of the one I tried drained a lot of juice??
Thanks

Looking for stability, good battery, wifi (usb or hotspot), most things work. Looking for something where I can install and not have to keep changing over and over again.
Sorry to thread hi-jack you, but I also need some advice.
I need a froyo rom that has these:
- best battery life
- everything working
- sense ui
- runs very smooth
- NAND
Thanks.
Guys the only and best way to find a rom that works for you is to try them yourself.
Go and read the 1st post of some topics, decide which one you like sound of and flash it. If it turns out you dont like it move on.
It clearly states what works and what doesn't in each build topic, If you want something more stable go for a newer build and check change log.
I think you can pick your choice easily by elimination .....
1) choose only Tmos roms.
2) Sense or no sense,
then you will only end up with a few roms.......

They claim to have working ROM to flash directly to NAND for a few devices. (Not Blackstone though) So can a Android Blackstone ROM be far out?
to be honest this flash is pretty pointless until android has got rid of the bug that keeps causing it not to wake up because once thats fixed it will be stable enough to use as a rom but for the moment there not much point in it except for proof of concept
Yes, but this seems like a HUGE move forward. Some have said there would never be a flashable ROM for Android on WinMo phones, or at least a long time out.

It's far from pointless, it's now the way forward for the kaiser, polaris and vogue Android users, yes it's still in development, yes there are still issues, but it's yet another step to a single flashable nbh based system for ROM installation, thanks to this method we now have working gps, wifi, sleep, lower battery drain and faster systems than we did 2 months ago.
Yes there is still a lot of work to be done, but the progress over the last months has been outstanding.
Don't know if anyone is working on a Nand flashable installer for the Blackstone or not, but I think it's only a matter of time.

if like you said sleep is working it is worth flashing, i suppose i am constantly using android and am reseting every time it crashes but for some users this isn't viable at all
It's still experimental, I use it flashed for experimenting with, but it's still not stable enough for the average user, i carry an sd with a rom image if i really need to reflash back to winmo.
however it's in active development, and is getting more useable all the time.

this is really really exciting stuff how long do you think until this will be availible for the average user and if you need some more testers for this shot me a pm on how to do this and i will be more than willing
just been reading through that thread and by the looks of this flashing it onto your device seems to be much more stable people have been able to et gps working, but i'm confused whats the difference between a nand flash and a normal flash because from what i've been reading it seems as if you have to flash something then do the rest on your device. but i am looking into this and when i understand it, if its possible (with a few mods) i will flash on to touch hd, but from what i understand atm it doesn't seem possible its all just waiting for the devs atm
com'on theres gotta be some dev out there working on this is so please contact me i wonna help.

this wouldn't surprise me much but would also surprise me as well at the same time firstly due to the fact that android is taking over iphone os very rapidly and in my opinion for at least me i think it is far superior due to editabiltyconfused and things like that but i would be a bit surprised as this is apple and they really do lock there devices down alot, i mean i am typing this from a mac and i love it and i personally have never need windows on it and will never need it but it kinda seems quite unlikely if there aren't any videos or anything on youtube.
Anyone care to explain?
Flashing a different radio can give you better battery life, wifi, signal, voice call quality and maybe some other, I think...
How would I know which one is best for me?
Make sure you know everything about flashing first then just try suitable ones for your rom. There is some feedback in the various radio's threads but you'll have to work the search to find anything useful to you.
As new radio's are available i just try them. If they're no good i go back to the last one i had.
Remember to check which radio's are suitable for which rom's, there's only a few here for an HD2 so it's not to difficult. I used to have a Kaiser and there were loads available depending on what rom sys you had.
Are you on a custom rom or HTC?
I had a hard reset an hour ago so I'm HTC atm I'm looking to customize my phone the best. Also, where can I find Manila updates?

You cant update manila. You can either flash a newer ROM with a newer Manila Version (latest is 2015 i think as p.ex. used in Duttys HG 3.8) or you install some elements of the newer ManilaBuilds like the eReader, DokumentTab etc. (available as cabs here on the forum)
Greets
Its about the user experience... Picking an interface that suits you and what you use the phone for... Taking a good phone and making it fit you perfectly...
That's the quest of rom chefs and end users and most will flash a dozen roms to find the one that suits them...
I'm sure almost everyone here will agree it's well worth flashing custom rom's, they're far better than the stock HTC roms, just takes a bit of getting into to get the most out of it. A good backup and you can always go back to a stock rom.
No pressure....
Flaaash...flaaash...flaaash!
Tim thanks you've been a great help although I want the max manila home theme. Looks smooth, I want my phone to look good as well as comfortable and speedy
Also, most ROM chefs will say which Radios work best for that ROM, and then you just need t be sure it's working well for you signa-wise in your area.
I had a non reccommended radio for Energy ROM, and I found Manilla would freeze, the phone would hang and reception would drop. One radio flash later, all this went away (and it only takes a minute and you don't lose any settings, so no biggie)

A few of the more prevalent chefs cook various versions for example the energy rom i'm using at the mo comes as a Co0kie version, a max sense version and a standard manila version. Not sure there's any max ultimate roms being cooked as maxcy now has a new interface he's working on, the said "maxsense" and hasn't updated max ultimate for a long time. Co0kies home tab is far better and far more stable, max sense is in it's early stages, probably has more potential but i understand it's got a few instabilities as it is.
Take a look at the link in my signature at the energy rom version. Not that i'm biased though i have, and will continue to try all sorts of roms. When you flash it's worth having a look at the last few pages of the rom's thread and then watch it again after you thread. Generally any probs you have will come up and any probs that don't normally mean it's something you've done different.
And also worth remebering the chefs do this for themselves and share it with us, it's fortunate they'll listen to some of our requests but really we have no right to ask for anything. We help report and sort any faults and generally the chefs will incorporate popular preferences like the energy rom doing all the variants of his rom.
I have always thought of this stuff as a bit like, why do you "chip" a car... most makers make what they think is the best within their limits for their products... they want ease and minimum hassle or comebacks... but some very bright sparks are bound to come along and make it better.. I know when I brought a diesel car, after having nice sports cars before, everyone thought I was mad.. but by chipping it, my BHP jumped 50%, my Torque 35% and my MPG went up to around 60mpg on a good run... so the benefits are there if you are willing to take the chance and change a few things..
I am using Laurentius26 GoldEdition V2.1. I have played around with previous versions from the same cook but it all comes down to finding one that works well with your apps and your needs..
I have previously used many SPB products but found that the basic shell wrecks havoc from time to time.. it can work but not in the way that I want.. so I just dropped it.. all the other stuff works but it really is trial and error..
I am by no means an expert, my constant questions on here shows that, but I do appreciate what I have learnt from here and realised almost immediately that a cooked rom was better than a standard one but you need to find one that suits you..
I had horrible internet connection problems with my stock 1.66 rom and radio combination.
Flashing to radio 2.10.50.28_2, solved those problems.
So that is why.

hey guys,
i have a lot of questions...
i tried android on my hd a lot of times....
the first times it worked finde but the latest roms are all crashed after a while
after deep sleep they are all freezing...
so the first question, is it an issue of my rom i´m using?
which one are you using for android? especially the devs which one are you using to try youre andrid?
i think its the best way if evertybody is using the same one to find out whick´h errors are comin from the windows rom or from android?
okay next question...
why is it not possible to install the cab on the main storage of the hd? a lot of errors are issued by the slow spped of the sd card? in my opinion it would fix a lot of probs if we can install android on the main storage, it would imrpove speed and saves sd card?
i´m not a dev so i don´t know if there is any possibility or not, its just a question for my understanding
i´m really looking forward to see a android rom for he hd bur i know its hard work for our devs here...
maybe we can make a bonus, everybody who wants a rom for android will pay 10 euros or dollar in jackpot and the guy who make a rom working will win the pot ;-)
thanxs for your answers and sorry for that bad german english
best wishes from germany
tom
is there really nobody who lnwos any answers?
it's just useless to reply because it has already been explained 10.000 times all over. If you at least 'd take the time to read
where is it explained which rom each dev is using? is ther any thread? if yes pls show me, cause i read a lot of time here.
and where is exaxtly written why we definitly canßt use the mainstorage?
We still need windows to initialize a lot of the hardware before launching android, for the moment.
At the moment, we cannot figure out the way to initialize it before booting android, this is why there's no android ROM ready.
Besides, there's still a lot more urgent/important things to do before (Deep sleep causing crashes, HW3D not working on Blackstone, and battery life, for example)

Alright people!
I am the developer of the SenseHERO rom for the HTC Hero (http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698281). I have recently obtained a HTC Touch HD so I will begin developing for you when I get some spare time.
Has anybody yet been successfully in getting tinboot working from NAND yet? If not then I may have to get my hands dirty and see what I can achieve just for experimental purposes obviously with the full awareness that alot of work will be needed to get hardware properly initialized.
If we get stuck the best person to get info for this would be DZO who made android from NAND a reality for the Vogue/Kaiser who are now running it on their Devices as stable & fast as the Native Android Phones..

if you beginn developing - maybe a good idea to make a new thread for it
To start off with I am impressed with some of the newer builds of the wp7 os on hd2 as they have included the hd7 phone id built into rom making the Chevron mod very simple, but there are few more issues
1 there are many issues with live services even after u input os key
2 there are errors when it come to communicating with live services to download apps
3 phone still restart many times and will some times go into what i call a dead sleep ( its where phone goes into standby and will not go back into unlock screen) you have to wait 3-4 minutes and even then u r lucky if u don't have to pull out battery and reset phone.
4 although newer builds often allow u to have more unregistered apps working they still have communication issues with wifi/network
5. camera is working on some builds but after picture is taken it comes out a bit green
The point for this thread is for u to post your links to your favorite builds of the wp7 and help future development buy discussing pros and cons to different builds
my fav build
[19 Feb][ROM] blackSideSeven v1.2.7004
LINK: http://hotfile.com/dl/106013534/837ae7f/elMInStER.blackSideSeven.1.2.7004.rar.html
rom has built in Chevron
and phone id is HD7
when u install language is in Polish so just change it to English or what ever language u want
I have had more luck with this build than any other one i have used it is much less buggie than the other builds i have tried, if u don't mind changing the language give this rom a try
All the builds are more or less the same at this point, this thread is completley useless. Future rom dev is helped by replying to the devs topics with issues etc.
I have none of teh issues you have, everything worked fine and no restarts. The green issue though is a well known bug.
PS. How has the rom got a built in "kitchen" , A kitchen is what is used to build a rom, So im confused on how the rom could have a kitchen built in?

+1.... I completely agree.
The only difference between roms right now is the lockscreen and maybe a theme color or 2. They all have same tweaks and features.
I think a lot of the issues that the op is having sounds like they may be cause by a sd card that wp7 doesn't like... try using a different sd card. Class 2 or 4 sandisk are usually good.

pretty much everything on your list is SD card related and effects all ROMs if you have a dodgy card, available ROMs are just clones of the original release with a few mods which they all use, the reason for this is its virtually impossible to make the same kind of changes as in android or WM..
the green tint on camera is a driver issue, which can not be solved with cooks, the market place issues are largely SD related but the freeze is very much a MS bug, the main battery issue which you didnt mention is driver related
im not saying this thread has no point, but i am saying your a bit too early,
but in the spirit of the thread
Dont bother with any other rom just now, there is no point with patches just around the corner that no one on here is capable of using, other than the DFT team, many of the bugs on these other roms were created only after the rom was fiddled with in the first place, however, if your not capable of following the instructions and installing the DFT release than use one of the newer ones as its much much easier

There are no pros and cons to the different roms because they are all the same... same build, same tweaks... only difference is maybe lockscreen and theme colors. Thats why there is no point to a thread like this yet... not until there is a difference between roms.
Also, if your phone is restarting and having issues with it going to sleep like you said, that is caused by using a sd card not compatible with wp7. Many of your other problems are probably also caused by that. Try a different SD card. Anyone having problems with the phone restarting ever or any lag or freezing should try a different sd card. Problems like that are not from specific roms... like I said, all the roms work pretty much exactly the same.

I bought a second hand HD2 for my parents which has all this Telstra stuff in there running at Winmob 6.5. I would like to load a clean operating system for their phone because they are overwhelmed by all this Telstra stuff. They are not even using Telstra. The HD2 is an unlocked Australian Telstra model which I am unsure as to whether that is still called Leo.
Which of the Android hacks are solid and everything works on the HD2 when installed with no bugs or issues?
Which Winmob 7 root is free and I can install on the HD2 where it runs the phone fully with no bugs or issues?
Which Winmob 6.5 root that is free that I can install on the HD2 where it runs the phone fully with no bugs or issues?
If you can provide links, would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
spend some time searching and reading, you are looking for the 'holy grail' of smart phones and I wish you luck. If your parents find additional content hard to manage they are unlikely to cope with a custom ROM, best buy them a simpler phone that just does what they require straight from the box.
I'm looking for the Loch Ness monster, the ark, and King Solomon's mines. Any links would be appreciated. Seriously, what you are asking for is a difficult, possibly impossible thing. All roms have issues and if your parents are overwhelmed by a stock rom, chances are, anything on xda will be a challenge. Having said that, I think that a basic Android nand rom might work. Several are available in that subforum. You might have to engage in some trial and error to find the right fit, though.
I think one of the best rom for now is HyperDroid , it is very nice very smooth and so far i know had no any problems for me . Everything works just fine

Why would you say that a custom ROM usually has all of the unwanted bloatware removed and are smoother than any stock ROM. They also give you better access to controls on your HD2 and most of the time better functionality than wioth stock ROMs.
At the OP yes you are looking for the holy Grail LOL ........ A ROM is something that is more of a personal preference than just good or not good. what one person may like in or about a ROM someone else might hate. As treo...not! said you wioll have to just go through and test a ROM and see what you think, "Trial and error." The Hyper Droid ias good though it is what I am running noe on my HD2. check my sig for a link to it and other things too lol.

I bought a second hand HD2 for my parents which has all this Telstra stuff in there running at Winmob 6.5. I would like to load a clean operating system for their phone because they are overwhelmed by all this Telstra stuff. They are not even using Telstra. The HD2 is an unlocked Australian Telstra model which I am unsure as to whether that is still called Leo.
Which of the Android hacks are solid and everything works on the HD2 when installed with no bugs or issues?
Which Winmob 7 root is free and I can install on the HD2 where it runs the phone fully with no bugs or issues?
Which Winmob 6.5 root that is free that I can install on the HD2 where it runs the phone fully with no bugs or issues?
If you can provide links, would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

You are going to have some issues with any ROM. I suggest that you install a clean WM6 (I use NRG), then customize the Sense tabs so that they have only the ones they actually use. That should be stable and easy to use.
If they have trouble with that, I think that WP7 is probably the easiest to use in terms of the interface, but from what I have read it can be difficult to get the HD2 WP7 burn officially recognized as a valid WP7 installation, so that the marketplace & etc can be used effectively. You can look at the HD7 forum for more information.
Sorry but if he wants to put WP7 on his parents HD2 he needs to go to HD2 Windows Phone 7 this has all the info iun these forums for running WP& on the HD2. Also check out the little guide I wrote on HSPL, MAGLDR, and CWM linked in my sig. YOU don't use CWM with WP& but the rest you do, I even have a link to a good guide to installing WP7 on the HD2 at the top beginning of my guide.

I think you are replying to my post, and you appear to agree with my statement "go to the WP7 forum"...

Well I was not exactly agreeing with you about the WP7 but you had told him to go to the HD7 forums and I just wanted to correct that as the HD7 forums would really be of no help to him. But I know it was a honest mistake.
Cheers
