Installation
Use a Windows Mobile ROM that is known to work with Android (I am using Miri's WM6.5.x XtraLight for fast booting into Android)
Use a Radio version that is known to work with Android (I am using Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2)
Download one of the Android builds above
Extract it to the root of your SD card
Start "\Storage Card\haret.exe" (in fact haret.exe is BatchLaunch)
Android autoboot
Install Gen.Y DualBOOT for starting Android into your Windows Mobile
Reboot your Windows Mobile
If Gen.Y DualBOOT is not loaded on Windows Mobile boot create a shortcut of the Gen.Y tool and place it under "\Windows\Startup\", then reboot again
Switching Android builds without data loss
At first: INVEST THE COUPLE OF MINUTES TO MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR "\Storage Card\Android\" FOLDER!!!
Believe me, even if the strategy is perfect, there are other reasons to fail like filesystems and others.
HAVING A BACKUP IS THE BEST STRATEGY!
Method #1 (the simplest)
Replace everything in your "\Storage Card\Android\" folder but keep "data.img" as this is where your settings and market apps reside in.
Method #2
Use third party apps like described in this thread.
Bluetooth devices working/not working

Reporting errors/problems
To have a fair chance of finding errors/problems you report with my builds please posts the build you are using and it's version.
This helps to give faster support and improve the builds.

Thank you..!!!
Are you still uploading the sense version? megaupload keeps telling me that the file is currently not available.
Edit: works now
What is not working?
Can you please list the things that are not working? or is this a perfectly functional ROM?

Forget about the screenshots, just the simple HTC Desire style.
For the BASIC build, just think of the SENSE build but without all the HTC apps, so without the pull down unlock slider and very minimalistic.

Check back in about half an our or an hour. I am currently uploading to Rapidshare.
Any chance you could upload a version without the HTC theme? There are hardly any builds with the original light grey/green Android theme which I prefer.
Will check this out though, if only to see if the battery life is any good.
hey can u tell us the info about what is working or not and also the memory ram zimage that you are using? thanks

The same old well known limitations as ever:
- No 720p support with EVo Camera and Camcorder
- Neocore and some other apps can not be installed, currently investigating this with davlvik debugger.
Camera flashlight is working for me, Flashlight app is not. Will be exchanged in next version if I find a good flashlight app.

Take a look at the changelog info about the used kernel.
It's the latest official git kernel from today using full RAM.
Hey,
Thanks for this - going to make it my first (proper) Android on HD2 build I think as it seems the most up-to-date with Sense.
One request - could you mirror this on something other than Megaupload? For some reason I'm currently only getting 5kbps (dialup speeds!) from Megaupload, everything else is fine. I will help mirror it everywhere afterwards once I get it!
Cheers!
Edit: Just seen you've put RS links up as I posted this - on the case, thanks!

I am currently messing around with investigating android settings and how to built-in into a release.
I have added this to my dev plan once I completly understand how and where settings especially for themes are stored.

MIUI STOCK BUILD PORT 11.05 PPP
Free beer and women HD2 Porting Thread
This is the latest build of MIUI for the HTC Touch HD2. It's relatively stock with a few minor changes for our HTC LEO. MIUI build includes all changes made from previous builds and optimizations for all of the new changes including:
iphone style launcher
iphone style icons
iphone style settings [much better organized system settings]
iphone style contacts, and screen effects
innovative new lock screen with music player
loads more MIUI goodies that have impressed me as a user
The default kernel is based on the EVO Kernel yes I changed kernels. The changes made for the git update have done wonders on backlight stability and battery drivers. There are some issues with the kernel (see post 3).
If the current build proves to be very stable (which it has been for me so far) I will include hastarin's r8 and some language builds. The translations for other languages are not available yet.
Quandrant Score 1614
Release Notes
Stock build, blocking ads is not in this release, but the process for advertisement blocking is relatively easy.
Creates a 1 gig data.img; first boot will take some time.
Rooted: superuser priveleges (SU is included)
Facebook is NOT included as well as integrated task manager. You can download facebook from marketplace

What works
WiFi
GPS
3g/HSDPA
5 mp Camera
Camcorder
LED status notification
Keypad notification
bluetooth
USB mass storage
G Sensor WORKING
WIFI TETHERING (THANK YOU DARKSTONE & CASS)
Facebook sync
The build still needs some testing; specifically in the bluetooth. If someone can report with their findings that would be ideal. If there are any other things not working in this build, let me know ASAP
How to install
Install is relatively easy:
1. Extract the 11.06.miui.lang folder [including contents] to the root of your sd card. Since it has a unique name, you won't have to rename it as I doubt any other builds has a unique naming ID.
2. Ensure you have at least 2 gig of space on your sd card (the data.img created is 1 gig which is NOT included)
3. Once the copy is complete, go to the android folder, run CLRCAD.exe and then HaRet. You will be taken to the HTC screen for a bit (about 10 minutes) and the rom will load.
a. If you get some strange error on boot, make sure you are using a new data.img
b. If the build still doesn't boot, reformat your sd card
c. If the build won't boot after a & b, please let me know in the thread
4. Skip through all android settings on first boot (you can set these up later).
5. The default keyboard is google keyboard. You can change this by tapping and holding a text area (sms, internet, facebook) and changing input settings to any keyboard you have preference to. Future builds will have htc_ime but for now android keyboard is good. I also prefer smart keyboard.
If you have a previous build
Ideally you should be able to drag all the files from the 11.01 build (including startup.txt) and keep your first data.img. Please verify if you have any issues with updating this way. If updating you may have to edit the startup.txt file in the following field if you're using the 10.30.miui folder:
set cmdline "rel_path=10.30.miui nand_boot=0"
or alternatively you don't have to overwrite the startup.txt file
your boot should load
The HD2 rom I am running is Duttythroy (and I have always ran duttyrom and it always gave me an excellent android experience) with 2.15 radio. It has never gave me any issues at all plus it is a good windows mobile rom [/shameless dutty plug]

On first boot, you can't select time zone
Solution
This is a bug in miui itself. So everyone is waiting for an update to apply the fix. The n1 translators did what they could to correct it but this is an intermittent miui bug. Select network provided values and change the time manually in settings. This will change your windows mobile time

SD mount issue
If you are having an issue with mounting/unmounting your microsd card, try this (again thank you mccmjoon76 for the solution)
1.you have to down load the terminal emulator from market place
2.open it and type "su" and press enter. allow super user access to it (mine kept freezing so i backed out and re started it. You will need to type "su" again and a window should pop up )
3. then if anything was done right you should see a "#" sign were your about to type the next line.
4.then type "mkdir /data/sd" make sure there is a space between the mkdir and the first /.
5.if everything worked right then nothing should happen except it moves to a fresh line in the emulator .
if you did everything right you should be able to go into settings and unmount your sdcard from there.

For the moment, none
Additional Programs Necessary for Optimum Performance
What's difference or advantage over other miui builds available especially the one I am using now 3.0 beta with 3 launchers
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
It's a stock presentation of miui. Infinitybiff was the only build that really had a stock interface that was fast and relatively smooth, however due to circumstance and time constraints, he couldn't do it. After testing a quick 10.22 port I decided to release a 10.29 build. It is stock, pretty fast and extremely stable.
Also note the build you are referring to I also direct users to different builds that prefer a themed ui rather than a stock one.

Where do you find the miui builds the others your talking about. I am glad someone is finally starting to update it for our devices. Question is facebok sync working in this version?
sdcard in settings force close
Every time i go to Settings/Sdcard i get a force close. Anyone else have this problem? I need to Unmount my Sdcard to get Angry Birds to install correctly. I wonder if there is a fix for this force close? I have gotten it on all MIUI builds.

ok dude thanks for feedback. i will try it as i love the miui look. the stock version works very well as you can do virtually anything with it. don't like the stock clock though as that white thing looks odd. i am not a fan of the lock screen logo that gift box with ribbon. lol
oh that's changed...a lot has changed in miui
I remove the white clock and use tajm and battstat...maybe something to add in the next revisions of this build it is relatively bare bones. But as bare bones, you will love the changes from like 9.30.10 to 10.30.10
I think when its translated, you will all like the weather program. It looks like the htc sense weather but I'm sure it will be optimized immensely
wifi tethering not working
first off this build is great but the wifi tethering is not working out the box like u said i even tryed the apks but that didnt work is there any fix

I'll try to be as active as possible. I'm still a dev n00b and its just porting for the moment. I hope to get better though
Why are there no more new RAM builds anymore?
MDJ's RAM Rom is very beautiful, but it has stil the issue that the data isn't working for the dutch vodafone users.
How can we make this work?
I don't want a NAND build on my HD2 because I also runs Primo navigation on my HD2. (This because its a very beautiful navigation)
I want to have a RAM Rom, because it's starts very quick.
Current I'm running the Core_Droid_HD_V0.4_Release_Version, but in this version I saw that it makes temporary files on the SD-card, every time I start this build.
Also takes it's time to boot.
Search the forum, theres a fix for this
The fix is I think only for the RAM build of Darkstone, ant the Gingerbread ROM.

for temp files just uninstall 3d galery and than delete temp files thru file manager.

Does anyone know where to insert the line "ro.opengles.version=65537"?
Do I need to flash to android 2.2 to get openGL 1.1? if so, will opera mobile let me view flash content?

Maybe try [ROM]Elelinux-Hero-2.1-update1 * WWE * , that already has opengles 1.1 included.
I'll have a look at the Elelinux version to see how he has gone about editing build.prop
I gave froydvillain 1.7 a try, but I didn't really like it. I simply missed a whole lot of features provided by the sense framework, like the contacts/facebook integration, how the keyboard handles forreign characters, and how flash content on the web just works, so I'll stick to the 2.1-based rom I'm running for another while, and post back if I figure out how to get opengl 1.1 working
I had a look at the Elelinix build, and they had it implemented wrong in build.prop, inserting the line:
ro.opengles.version=165537
instead of:
ro.opengles.version=65537
What this does is telling your applications that you have opengl ES 2.3, rather than 1.1
Which is actually awsome, since it enables vector maps in google maps (which are smaller and quicker to download, and will auto-rotate)
So far I haven't seen any negative effects of this change.
the line should be inserted after:
ro.sf.lcd_density = 160
and make sure to replace libGLES_qcom.so, as specified in the original thread
I've seen the thread floating around before I got the phone and can't find it for the life of me now.
I know there's a hack that allows me to record my own phone calls, from what i've been reading on an i9000 forum its done in the form of a modified apk file.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how I can get this set up on my S II
Don't know if you need to know this info but im running

Isn't it part of the Batista Rom? you could extract the dialer from it.
Some people use "Call recorder" (icon: green android) and reports it works fine.
Thanks for the hint, downloading the batista rom now, Its weird, as simple as it is it never occured to me that I could mix and match contents from different roms, I think its time for me to do some experimenting now, so what I can concuct.
And remember children if you decide to do the same nandroid that sh*t first
