[Q] Best Android Rom for LEO HD2

hi,
i used the search function, but i doesn't find anything.
can anyone tell me which Android Rom is the best for HD2?
i think here are many people who has much experience with different Rom's and maybe they can tell me which one is the best?
sy, Gurry

He, he search function won't help.

Do you want it to run from SDcard or NAND or RAM?
Do you want it to have sense?
Are you looking for a Froyo build or a gingerbread build?
anyway, I use this one and like it:
[Dec 30][RAM] darkstone SuperRAM Sense v0.1 [kernel: Hastarin EB]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892797

Oh yes! XDA sells pancakes too. But I'm not sure which is the best one. LOL.
sorry for being sarcastic. But the "BEST" Android ROM is the one which YOU - yes "you", and only you - will find out by yourself.
Start reading, start flashing, and share us your thoughts.
Thread reported.

I understand what you mean. hey guys he wants your opinion on what you think is the best rom. it will most certanly help narrow down the long list. i personally think the NexusHD2-FRG83D_V1.7__Froyo_2.2.1_ is the best Froyo rom i have used. plus its SD which is easy. but im currently using a Cyanogen mod 7 gingerbread that im just not happy with cause i cant use the stock gingerbread launcher and im stuck with Launcher pro.. but i cant stand the "find out for yourself" answers.. lets hear some opinions here!

IMO, the Nexus Gingerbread NAND build by tytung is the best. VERY stable, very fast.

First and foremost READ READ READ before you decide and make sure of a few things.
1. Compatible with your device
2. You understand how to install it properly
3. You read the last 15 pages of the thread for current issues as well as the very first page posted by the cook.
This is just a matter of opinion because ROMS are more personal than "Best/Worst". They all have a certain personality to them so technically there is no "best" and the Kernel itself has a lot to do with how a ROM will perform.
I would say to ME the best ROM for HD2 is the HyperDroidGBX in NAND development. Small, ridiculously fast, great battery, very few things not working 100%, and not loaded with any kind of extra apps. Link in my SIG.

For me the dansiest rom is the best. Fast and stable. HTC sense works fine. Until i didn't find something that won't work. The development of the rom, updates and fixes is very fast.

In my experience Pongster's Hyperdroid(non-sense) is the best NAND ROM.
(next best was MDJ 2.6 but is no longer available)
Normally HTC sense rom will have a higher battery drain in comparison

I use this SD ROM: AmericanAndroid http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652
It works fine for me, has a low battery usage ...
The HD2 is not mine (company) so I dont want to to flash a NAND ROM.

I've installed CleanDroid 2.55 and I like it!

I use this [DFT/CWM] NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.3 [Android2.3.2][Kernel: tytung_r6] - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060

[Q] Done to death but still one last time -Which NAND would be the best for HD2

hi ,
I am pretty sure that your guys are tried of topics like these already but i dont know where else to go . Can you guys please help me figure out which NAND android Rom would be the best suitable for me?
this is what i need my phone to do :
*use it as an everyday rom so has to be pretty stable.
* need normal phone operations working e.g - GPS, Bluetooth, texting,dialing,speaker phone, wifi,camera,video camera,flash
*want flash,swype ,app2sd,internet tethering with usb and wifi hotspot and of course the android market app.
*A somewhat fast rom , and need to be able install and use apps from the sd card. live wallpapers would be cool but not a necessity.
Again in advance I am really sorry if i came across as smug or needy or ignorant or not willing to use the search feature.That was not my intention , read a lot of posts here and there forums and all different kind of roms are only confusing me further.Thats why i registered and decided to write this post.I'll post this at XDA as well hope i get some help .
again thats in advance and sorry if my post was annoying, just trying to learn.

hi.
probably hundreds to choose from ,but the one in my sig works well for me and pretty much covers the things you're after

Look no further
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926507

depends whether you want with or without "sense"
core droid has sense
tytung does not

Most of the things you outlined like GPS etc. work on every ROM now.

Why not read one of the existing threads about which build is best and base your decision from that? Just so you know, there is no right and wrong answer. Just because I like Hispanic chicks, with fat #$%$# doesn't mean you have to like Hispanic chicks with fat #$^#$.

Really??? What I do is read the entire build thread usually there are one to four pages about each build on each indivisual ROM. This is where you are going to obtain information about the ROM itself. Then download one, hell download 10 try them out. I am personally a fan of the Desire ROM's.

I HAVE and do read the entire build thread on the ones I am interested in, doing so is a good idea. Again this is where you get the information about the build. It is only going to take 5-10 minutes to read through an entire developers first post (1-4 pages max) So lets see, if you read through 12 builds at 5 minutes you have only invested an hour of time and gained a lot of knowledge. Most builds take about 30 minutes to download so while you are downloading ONE build you can educate yourself on at least 5 other builds you might be interested in. Some builds I start reading turn me off right away, those I dont bother going back too. Also if you are too lazy to read through a build then you are probably going to install it wrong and spend double the amount of time it should of taken. I AM JUST SAYING!

I like desire builds:

I'm not saying i have read every single thread in relation to a certain build that i may have flashed on my phone but ive read a lot on here and have flashed a lot, no interest in WINMO anymore although i used to especially like the NRG ROM's also Laurentius but as regards Android until such time a stable Honeycomb build comes about ill stick with Sergio Coredroid it is IMO the best there is, i must give a mention to previous builds ive had which were excellent like Darkstones NAND SUPERAM,exceptionally fast but discontinued, also MDJ, Xboarder and Rafpigna but Sergio's is for me no 1.

I used what is called ...."most stable" froyo 2.2 . GPS dont work.

I've read the first, and last five pages of almost every NAND build thread. He needs to do what we did, and install different builds until he finds one that suits his needs. Like it's been said a thousand times, just because I like hispanic chicks doesn't mean he's going to like Hispanic chicks.
Plus, he could have opened one of the numerous, "what rom is best?" threads and gotten the same answer he would have gotten here.
It also makes me laugh that you're calling buddy a liar. If you're so concerned with the OP getting a solid build, then why don't you toss the SD version, install all of the NAND builds, and turn in an essay about which build is best?

No problem bro. LOL @ the guy calling you a liar. Some people amaze me.

seriously guys , my intention was not to create a problem.I am not lazy either, i have done my fair share of reading but you have to understand for a guy who has no idea about linux or android ( except that its a kickass software for phones) all the information out there could be a little overwhelming.I didn't read quiet a few" which rom is the best " and they all confused me even more .The most prevalent answers those pots got was a lot a bashing with some " every rom is different , pick one that suits your needs" . Thats why when i started my thread i specifically mentions what i "desired" from the rom.I am really confused about the phone now. Some people on other forums are saying that since HD2 wasn't made for Android you would't get a stable rom for everyday use it is sure to mess up.Its posts like these that are confusing me even more and i am actually thinking about returning the phone and take the easy route of getting a samsung Vibrant.
again thanks for all the guys who mentioned their roms and the ones thats tried to help .honestly just because someone is asking a question doest mean that they were lazy and didnt read anything . If i didn't read anything then i would't have known about NAND .
PS: i love hispanic chicks with huge @%%^ too. Infact i love them all with huge )*##*#

[Q] Whats a really good rom thats out for hd2?

I am looking to see which Rom is the best for the HD2 because I dont know much about it. This is my first time. I dont want crashes and would like apps to be working perfectly. I have an rom in and now I cant receive mms.
Also I was wondering how I can get into clock work because I cant get into it even though I installed it?
Thanks for your help

Hi Chrissv,
This isn't the forum where you post those things, try to post this next time in the General forum.
Further Hyperdroid GBX is a very nice rom, and how you come in clockwork mod depends on what you have used as bootloader, do you have used CLK or MAGLDR?
Incomer

Oh sorry thought clicked general questions. But I have the mag one

You have to experience the roms yourself, so you can find which fits best to your desire.
If there would be one best rom, there wouldnt so many other roms
You can start clockwork by choosing "ad recovery" in the magldr, which you at least should have installed. (When your device is off, keep power botton (the very right) pressed to enter magldr)
I hope you enjoy experiencing the whole mass of hd2 roms, so you can choose yourself which one is your best.

Reading
I like HTC Sense ROMs. Try reading some of the (end of) threads with a recent ROM update, and you'll find out how they are. If a lot of people complain, you probably don't want to try it, if a lot of people give compliments, it could be a good ROM.
But as a newbie, you'll have to read a lot before you proceed, cause if you don't know what you are doing, you can brick your device. Start at the "Sticky Roll-Up Thread" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905841, you can find a lot of info there.
Good luck, and keep in mind that it's not appreciated to post such questions in the development thread.

If you like sense i would recommend imilkas RAM vision sense (using it myself). Everything is really fast, been using it for a week and i have undervolted it, and i haven't had a single FC yet. Guess his ram desireHD is just a good, just like the notification widget bar on desire Z better.
For non-sense rom i would recommend hyperdroidgbx-v12. Haven't tried v12 yet, but used it from v6 to v11 and everything was really fast and stable.

Miui roms are the best!
there are several out there, they seem to run very smooth and the custumization capabilities are top notch. im a big fan of htc sense so i got the weather and toggle widget which looks identicle, (its the older version with animated weather-took some work to find it and get working and i cant help there cause im not gonna violate xda but i love it!

it's all about personal preference. i used to be a big sense fan but moved onto better things . personally i do not like miui roms. reminds me too much of an iphone . cm7 roms are good but my best are straight gingerbread. hyperdroid (flashin v12 now) they have been my best and most stable roms. i love the 167 lcd density, puts used to the big screens we enjoy so much
as for clock work mod they are good guide in hyperdroid thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918899
hope this helps

I HIGHLY recommend Ultimate Droid 3.2.5 I've been using it for the last couple of months and its definitely one of the best if not the best.
Personally, I tend to avoid the sense roms, while they are fast, you can have a lot more customization with an AOSP rom, plus battery is slightly better since it doesn't have the multiple sense services running in the background.

Got a few questions

Im curious as to the performance of NAND on the HTC HD2 . Can you play games such as the regular angry birds ? Does it have troubles with animations ? Im currently on a Sprint TP2 running Android (NAND) and i like it a lot . with the exception of the week processor compared to that of the HD2 . Also , im having troubles keeping WiFi on during phone sleep even with the Sleep policy set to "Never" under advanced WiFi settings . Does that setting work for you guys running NAND android on the HD2 ? I'm debating if i want to buy the HD2 and fully run android or if i want to just go ahead and buy a Samsung Galaxy S despite its a lot more than HD2 (on ebay) my most likely choice is buying a broke one and fixing it .
Thanks for your time guys !

From my readings and from the YouTube videos thats what seems to be true ! but i always love to hear it direct from an end-user experience . Are there any troubles with stability in the Android NAND builds ? plus is Overclocking possible with the NAND builds ? thanks for the response !

Some roms are more stable than others. That's the case with every phone. I have been an android nand user for almost a year and its awesome. We also had one of the first ice ports and this phone is right at two years old! Overclocking is possible but I've never tried it. My phone is fast enough for me

If you use a rom such as Hyperdroid with the HD2, like said above, you will be blown away. The HD2 is fast, stable, and pretty much all working feature-wise.
The HD2 is a phone that I would still recommend to people, as it still keeps up with other competing phones.
Hope I could be of help.

Comparing quality of Galaxy with quality of Leo confrims that. Not to mention posibilty to install even xp on leo .

A recommended rom that is highly efficient in my opinion is Hyperdroid. I've been using this rom for over a year now and it has never failed me before. It is fast, stable, and efficient.
If your interested, I'll post a direct link to the rom here.
Once again, hope I could be of help.

I also advise to use Hyperdroid ROM which is excellent in stability, speed and battery life. I use it since three monts and I am very satisfied with it. The only minus point by this rom is its font size selection and theme. But you change the dpi font size and have theme choser for that.

[Q] Best Hd2 Android rom out there

What is the best htc hd2 android rom out there with sense working and is stylish smooth and quick

There is no 'best' one. Try them all and see which suits you best
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

I advise you NOT to get the 4.X Roms because they still are not optimized enough and don´t have "functions" that are worth getting for!
Try to look for cyanogen7 mods on 2.3.X roms
THe best so far I found was dorimanx rom but it is unstable atm (installing apps result in crash)
To distinguish better, here try this website

Hi simadams the link in your "shortlist this one" post is dud can repost to tell me which rom and version it is

HyperDroid is the best. I've tried all Sense ROMs, they're all not fast enough for me.
Sense is BS most of the time.

this is the one I use
[20.Feb.2012] NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9 V1.4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860)... its great... but there are some small glitches... like I can'e edit the contacts from the default People app, I can send MMS (could be my configuration problem), cant change the default app once I check the box in the pop up, battery performance is poor (lasts only 12-15hrs)...
But its really smooth and fully functional...

Why can't one search the forum before asking this Question !!!!!!!!!!!
I am sure there are more than 10 threads with the same question..

whats the best ROM is a lot like asking whats the best flavor ice cream. (butter pecan personally) lol. The point is whats the best in our, the communities eyes don't always match up with one another. This is because what i want on my ROMs you may not and vise versa. The more details you give the better someone may point out a ROM they like that they might feel you will enjoy too.
If you want something a little older thats really fast and reliable one might point out RAFDROID HD. If you want something a little newer maybe running Gingerbread i would suggest CoreDroid GB. If you want sense 3.0/3.5 i feel Team Blue Droid V3.6 runs pretty smooth and they have a themed version under development. I would check out youtube and type in HD2 roms. Watch a few and try and get an idea of what your looking for. There is a great site found here that list many of the Android ROMs for the HD2. It tells you some basic info about each one like if it has sense, what build and when it was updated. Take awhile looking over each one and read some of the comments in that thread to try and get an idea of what you'll be getting. Hopefully then you'll be able to make a great choice on the perfect ROM for you.
