I have searched this forum as best i could to find some rom that works and supports extended battery fully....meaning it charges normally and works A-okay. This thread is meant to direct some effort towards building something for us idiots who went and bought this.....probably useless item from ebay.
Any help would be much appreciated.

most builds will support extended battery if you change the kernel using tytung's eb kernel.
Thank you for your fast reply jose makalolot i really appreciate it. But what i was looking for was a standalone rom which supports extended battery.
Thanks again will give this a try
Ok still i'm having trouble finding an installation guide for this so i'm still lost.
No 'standalone' rom comes with extended battery support, it's all down to the attatched kernel. There's a difference.
If you have an official htc extended battery, get the above tytung_r2_eb_signed kernel, if not other kernels are supposed to have support for NON OFFICIAL extended batteries, so just try boot up any rom you choose if you have one of these

Yes, but not the original htc extended battery
Yeah well all i found so far was hastarin for sd based android can someone point us to the correct direction for an original extended battery for a nand flashed android. + since i'm a bit of a noob some installation instructions wouldn't hurt

Try the mentioned tytung one above, its based of hastarins eb kernel but modified for nand builds, I haven't got round to testing it yet so you can let me know how you get on!
Hey,
I am using MDJs CM7 2.6 Kernal:MDJ 10.4 OC with a non-HTC extended battery.
What happens to me is the battery meter shows degression like a usual battery, but at 15% (and according to the forums some people it is at 11% - but basically around then) the batter meter stops moving for hours!
And if you want to know about how much you have left take out the battery, put it in, and restart, and it will show you (I say about because it will get stuck again at 15% but for much less time).
I found a solution to this problem...well the battery works even though this build is buggy as hell but at least the phone wont restart compulsively. If you flash this rom you're phone will work with the extended battery.

Still not the best solution please leave this post open so that if somebody finds something better he can post it here.

I just received the HTC extended batter w/ cover.. I am running Android on my HD2 (ROM: CMYLXGOs.Droid.BlueTopia.v1.0.4.7z with Updated Kernel to Hastarin r8.5.3).
But I cannot get my phone to recognize the extended batter.
Can anyone tell me what Rom/Kernel for sure works with the extended battery?
The phone does boot up ok with Android.

Check out the Nexus build page link in my thread; it's supposed to be a good extended battery build.

Also you need the extended battery version of hastarin kernel not the standard version
Here is a link to download it
Release r8.6_eb - http://www.multiupload.com/50VNQDNOQ5
(as above but with older battery driver with extended battery support)

My thread has the link for the 8.6 new battery w/oldcam; check it out.
As we don't have a nand rom currently which is supporting extended batteries (2300mha), I'd like to start this thread to provide some information about releases, which do.
This can help all HTC extended battery (2300mha) users as they don't have to go through the flashing process first only to see that extended batteries aren't supported.
If anyone has a nand release which is ready for original HTC extended batteries, you are of course welcome to post this release.
Actual status
- 15.01.2011: Releases are available, but support is not 100% yet, battery drops very fast from 100-60%, stays there and drops again.
- 09.02.2011: check this thread with a modified kernel from arne182 who fixed the rapid drain from 100-60% with extended batterys. It's currently in testing but if this kernel works as expected, we will have a fully working extended battery support finally.
List of tested and working (at least for me) releases:
[Dec 30][NAND] CMN 6.1 v1.02 [RMNET] [SMARTASS] [Kernel: Hastarin 8.6 Custom] - Big THX to Moon2 for reporting this.
Notice to this release: This release also suffers from the 100%-60% battery drop behaviour, so support is not at 100% actually.
i have tried
[Dec 31][NAND] gauner1986's HD-FI (Desire HD based)
to no avail...
I've been using [Dec 30][NAND] CMN 6.1 v1.02 [RMNET] [SMARTASS] [Kernel: Hastarin 8.6 Custom] for a day now, it works fine. Look for the Hastarin Kernel based roms, they're the ones with beta eb support.
PS. This may work too: [Jan 01][NAND] [NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9 NAND][Kernel: hastarin r8.6_oldcam UTF8]
Working fine
I have a 2400 MAH extended battery with kickstand cover. Cheapest one they sell on Ebay for $12. I can confirm it works with NAND Desire HD, and Deisre roms. Nothing special booted up with no issues. Probably doesn't help but indeed some do work.

Remember the cheap batteries don't need the eb kernel, only the official one from htc.
AFAIK, there's no support for the OFFICIAL one yet.

As mentioned above, it works for me, and YES I am using the 2300mah official extended battery. The other ones do not require a modified kernel, but this one does, and so far, only hastarin's modified kernel by ocm has this support.
This might work for all builds: [JAN 01][KERNEL][NAND] Stock kernel with a few fixes. It may have the eb battery support patch included from hastarin's kernel.
Edit - Ok, scratch that, OP mentioned that it doesn't have the patch.

Confirmed and updated first thread! Thanks for reporting this one!
The problem with the CMN 6.1 v1.02 build is:
The battery percentage drops from 100% to ~60% in about 20 minutes, which is insane. Then it stays at 60%-55% much longer.
I tried to compile Hastarin's eb kernel with NAND changes...but with no luck. Whenever I insert the extended battery my Android keeps shutting down itself...
I hope somebody releases a NAND kernel with proper eb support.
i can use any of the builds as long as i use the Hastarin Kernel..

true true.. but at least kernels can be changed and you can then expand the amount of builds that EB users can run, as changing kernels for NAND builds isnt as easy as SD... I have my EB constantly in my phone and loathe going back to my regular battery..
Just installed this: Hastarin's r8.6 oldcam kernel modified and compiled by [email protected]
It supports extended batteries, but haven't had it long enough to be able to tell how the battery life is, and seeing how it's got some of the more later fixes, it may do better, than jump from 100% to 60% and then play around.

I always thought, this issue was related to some apps I recently installed. But with your confirmation it's hard to call this release "proper working with extended batteries"
In the last days I really learned to hate this android shutdown behaviour. A kernel with compiled eb kernel in it, would really be a good solution. Sad to hear it didn't worked
I think we'll have to wait for Hastarin to return and to provide a new NAND kernel with his changes included.
Let's hope for the best, currently NAND with extended battery isn't really fun at all.

Nobody has released a kernel with EB support for NAND yet, give it time though --- I think Hastarin is working on one, not completely sure though.

Are you able to elaborate on this? Do the aftermarket EB's just "work fine" or do they actually work correctly?

Works "fine" either way, only certain Desire builds when I had SD builds would drain my battery "properly".
I didn't notice a difference between EB and Non-EB kernels, my battery would drain normal speed (as the stock 1250mA) to 0% then turn off the phone then I'd pop the battery out and put it back in and have 60% left.

Interesting. But still not actually supported to work correctly so that you can use the full 2600mah without having to remove and replace the battery. I wonder if we will ever have this type of support for EBs...

The reason they're different from Official EB's is because EB's won't boot without the EB Kernel, only Desire based Roms on SD builds would drain all the way for me, they'd drain normal to 15% then stay at 15% till the actual battery was at 15% and then continue to 0% till it was dead. Haven't found a NAND that does this yet, supposedly it reports battery stats wrong anyway.

No as there is no kernel support yet
I hope there will be a NAND build soon that does support the original extended HTC battery.

Not really. As far as i know, most 2300mah batteries has a bigger size so there will be a "bump" at the back of your hd2. That is why they are supplied with a suitable back cover!
Just wanted to report back. I have the $13 Singapore 2600 mah battery and it works with MDJ Cyanogenmod 7 v2.6.
I dont even have to remove and replace the battery for it to work. It's not perfect though, it basically runs down normally (slightly faster than I would like) and lasts a full day getting down to a 15% charge. Then it stays at 15% for another entire day and then discharges normally from there.
With all the progress that has been made on Android for HD2, I feel optimistic that the last several minor bugs will eventually be worked out and the device should function flawlessly.
Good idea here pick me
try this link (below)... it has an eb kernel that you install using clockworkmod.. so ur nand roms without eb support should work after you install.. hope this works

Backup your data and reformat your SD card then go through the CWM process again. Keep in mind, you need a CWM build to apply CWM Updates/patches.
This is what's highly recommended (and what fixed my CWM problems)

Do you use an Extended Battery? The current kernels in these NAND Roms don't support EB as yet. If so, try with your normal battery.

Which ROM are you using? Most ROMs support extended battery, I think. The ROM thread should say in one of the first few posts, and also you can scroll through the first few and last few pages to see if anyone has had this problem with your particular ROM.
i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898818 but this is old conversation maybe someone fix that in any application or other case for rest of NANDs

I am running a NOTE7 based Rom Aurora .. my battery was dying as it would charge .. the only way to get it to charge was shut it down. I am currently on another Note7 based ROM Note4Grace ... I have searched high and low for a really good battery friendly kernel. Performance is some what important but not 100% I need this battery to not die as much. So what I am asking does ANYONE in the XDA community prefer a kernel for battery performance or something that can help. I have tried RAM kernel, I recently tried using Exceed and its not for my N910V, tried AEF kernel ( if spelt right ) along with a few Beastmode kernels.
