Any build that I have used from Darkstone has been smooth and fast. You can download the latest "clean" froyo build or the "sense" themed froyo build here:

Imho, the clean froyo build is a bit faster.
i used the max energy co0kie energy ROM for win mo, used hardspl 3, the latest radio, and used the latest froyostone sense build, and the jmz dual boot .cab, everything is working pretty good... when i turn the phone on, i can boot co0kie energy win mo, or android 2.2. now im pretty happy with my device

awesome. your voice calling and speakerphone are working? i almost have the same setup as you except i'm using chucky's rom. voicecalling works perfectly. no echoes no robotic voices. i may try energy rom some time this week although i like chucky's + gtx white theme.

cool, let me know if the voice calling works.
btw, here's a thread over on the android hd2 development section consisting of a growing a list of the fastest and most stable build+ rom combinations including a running list of what does/doesn't work on some builds
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749110
this should help the OP of this thread as well.
calls sound great, speaker phone works, camera works, camcorder works, bluetooth turns on (havnt tested any pairing yet) flash works, everything seems to work execpt the folowing:
flashlight only works on brightest setting
and when i put the phone to sleep, the keypad led lights stay on, but i read from froyo on a different build that this happens to some people, it could also be a problem with the .cab i installed on win mo, i have it set that whenever win mo is being used/ doing something, the leds stay on, instead of shutting off after 10 seconds, so it could be win mo still is doing some task, like running sense (i have the sense version of android) and thats why the stay on... ill try to figure out the problem soon. (and this doesnt happen when running win mo...)

i'm experiencing the same exact thing but the froyostone dev has stated that this is a known issue and it will be fixed upon the next build
would the next build the fix is in be the agust one, or the next one as of todays date? because yesterday the agust build came out, and i beleive that is the one i have installed, is there a way for me to check which release date i have?
Shubcraft cm6 v1.2 is very fast and stable and 98% off the things work on it...and i think the theme is pretty neat...

I would suspect that whatever the CAB is you have installed probably changes a register (not registry) in the micro controller that controls the keypad and its lighting. As long as this microcontroller doesnt get a reset signal or power loss it is going to keep that register set even when booted into android.
As far as i know when using HARET WinMO is no longer running, but please correct me if im wrong, ive tried to find some detailed info on how HARET works, but haven't found much to date. I always wondered if android was truly running all on its own, or if HARET was something like a vmware translating android calls to winmo api calls with winmo still running the show under it all
Before you boot into Android make sure the bottom keys aren't lit. That's keep your keys from turning on at all in Android.

Yes, haret completely shuts down winmo and boots linux. There is nothing else running when you're using android.
Dual Boot
Can someone help me? I am trying to dual boot but it is not working. I read somewhere that you need to change HKLM/init launch 52 to Launch 62 but there is no Launch 52 on my phone.
I am looking for a clean useable ROM.
I have tried a few now and cannot find one that works well enough to use day to day, the nearest i have had to a useable rom is mdeejay_froyo_HDv.3.4.1, however typing is useless and all over the place. I logged it but go no answer or fix suggested so I had to ditch it.
I have tried other roms who dont have problems with typing but they have all got there own issues, for instance, some dont pickup you sim contacts, some dont have internet configureable, some just are just too darn ugly to use.
dont suppose anyone can recommend anything for elegancia GTX wwe - 11/6/2010 - radio 2.10
I'm using hyperdroid without any problems. My requirements were a CM-based ROM, with a decent or good-looking theme and low lcd density (240 makes everything waaay too big imo), and hyperdroid has all this. Not too much bloatware either.

The closest I've come so far is HyperDroid 1.6. It's ALMOST there. Occasionally, it falls asleep and needs a power cycle (pop out the battery) to bring it back to life. It also seems to persistently have trouble working with my bluetooth radio in the car. Playing audio works great, but it simply hangs if I get an incoming call or attempt to make an outgoing call.
Bluetooth is also somewhat dodgy with WinMo 6.5 so it might not even be Android's fault. The hardware is really nice so I'm hoping things will get better in a future release.
I have tried these, I cannot get any internet, doesn't seem to autosetup.
Try FroyoStone Sense v3.1, it works really well. I use VBNROM (minimal) and Radio 2.15.50 and it works just like a native android phone. Great Battery life too. Oh and you have to enter APN stuff manually, just google it.
I'm having quite good luck with Bangsters 1.5
Had to switch to rmnet because ppp connections were bloody useless. still having some slight data reception issues, but even with that a MUCH better experience than with my old cliq.
I've been using FroyoStone v3.1 with great success for a little while now, easily my most favourite and most reliable build I've found to date. Everything works, apart from the camera flash delay but that's pretty much universal on most recent (non-evo based) builds.
I'm testing Froyo HD at the moment and really quite like it, only problems I seem to be having could well be my fault (Titanium Backup might have replaced a couple of critical HTC components by accident)
shubcraft 1.5 is about as stable and complete as you are going to get. theres another 2.2 stock cm6 floating around too. however you would have to do something i know you hate. SEARCHING
FroyoStone 3.1 worked much better than others and seemed to be almost perfect for over a week. However, despite DarkStone's claims, by the end of the second week the screen freezes gradually came back, rendering the phone barely usable when walking. The PPP started getting stuck on upload more and more, adding to the problems list.
I should admit there's still no build that has all the functionality working flawlessly, unless you're willing to sacrifice some features, like camera, flash, G-sensor, PPP, music player, etc...

cheers for all the advice everyone, managed to get FroyoStone Sense v3.1 working pretty well, still no camcorder though which is a shame.

MDJ's builds work perfectly for me, 3g, WiFi, Navigation & Camera all work for me.
They all worked on Darkstone's too for me.
My advice would be stick with WinMo if you're not happy with what's on offer
Get mattc's 1.8 and hastarin 8.1. With Chucky ROMs this runs smooth like butter. And everything is working.
sounds like force close issues due to trying to restore data from other builds? or leftover data being picked up off the card causeing corupted files.
all the builds you mentioned are pretty reliable builds, that leads me to belive issues lie on your end.
if it was me?
id do a full format, not the quick format in windows. better yet, do it in gparted! a linux machine will do a much better/cleaner job.
Hello, i have attempted using the search function of this forum to see if anybody else has the same problem that i am having, so forgive me if this has already been discussed. If it has, please point me in the direction to a thread. If it has not been discussed, then any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
My HD 2 is running the latest energy rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784&highlight=energy+rom) and the version of android i run is MooMoo's rom based of Froyostone 3.2. My radio is 2.07.50.27_2.
I have no complaints with this combination. There is no robot voice, picture messages come in clear, everything is great. The problem i have discovered however is that whenever i try and use Launcher Pro (also tried ADW launcher), i get the sleep of death. If i uninstall these launchers, the phone works great. No SOD's whatsoever. If i reinstall and use one of these launchers, then the sleeps occur again.
Does anybody know what the problem could be? I like the way LauncherPro looks, its smooth as silk and i prefer it over the Sense UI, and if it were at all possible, i would prefer to use that launcher. If not, no big deal, ill just use sense, but if anybody could shed some light i would be greatful.
I have Energy 3.14 based GTX 2.5 WinMo ROM and Radio 2.15.50.xx. Before that I had 2.08 radio version with stock tmobile and my battery life in android sucked; than I switched to known good 2.12.50 radio - which was not that good for me; anyhow, I finally got all updates in and now my hyperdroid is running s m o o t h like no android phone on the market. Constant 3-6mA in stand-by which if changes, I uninstall apps I just installed as I found that news readers and power settings widgets, etc eat battery alive ... also, I do NOT have SetCPU installed.
HyperDroid 1.7 version I have is using mychprima's kernel that's OCd and UVd and it works like a charm. Never experienced SOD with or without using G-Sensor (which was known issue for older kernels I guess).
LauncherPro - well I do not think is the main reason for your SODs. I suggest that you get Energy ROM, Radio 2.15, Clean Froyo (not sense build) like shubcraft, hyperdroid 1.7, etc - and test it out then. Before you do all this DO FORMAT the SD card ... than post results here.
PS no worries this should take you about 45 minutes to do all this - and you are all set. I have been on my Android for weeks now without single force close or reboot
I have little doubt that your radio is to blame. Up the radio, freezes be gone.
J
well im attempting to use the hyperdroid as per your suggestion and i like it alot, but i have a gripe with the screen resolution. everything is too tiny, i would prefer to have everything back to stock size. how can i go about changing the resolution? i cant find a solution
EDIT:
Okay i figured out a way to change the screen resolution. Ill try to use this android build and the radio you have recommended and let you know how things are working out for me. thanks a lot
well so far so good. I am using your combination of rom/radio/android build and i havent had a single SOD. Using launcher pro also and it works like a dream. Although occasionally the touch screen will lag...which is kind of annoying, but not annoying enough to fully break using it. Thanks for the help!
Hello to everyone!
I installed cm 7.03 today,it works fine. I found on settings->cm settings-->display, screen-off animation, and I check it, but when I press lock off button, nothing gona happen...Can anybody tell me how to enable crt lock off animation, if it can be enabled? Thank you
They don't work on any of the cm7 roms as far as I know.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium
Thank you @Eddster3000, but I saw the man on the youtube who did that and it works perfectly. I installed CM 7.1 rc1, and there is no screen off animation too...Mayby it is problem with our phone model?
Used to work in very early nightlies and only for a lucky few. Because it was such a random feature it was removed from future roms since like nightly #20. Doesn't work mate!
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App
It doesn't work properly but it wasn't removed. Crt animation was working for me for a while (I have updated from CM7.03 to nightly 157).
I made it work again but it was working only for few times.
1. check screen on/off animations in the settings
2. you need to set normal window/transition animation speed in Spare parts
3. i saw few comments that it doesn't work with overclocked cpu, therefore I set it to 528 MHz max (min 328 or something like that).
The comment was regarding different phone (samsung probably) therefore I cannot confirm that this step is really needed for wildfire). I do not overclock mine phone since it gets overheated (hot weather + running gps + charging in the car)
4. reboot to recovery and wipe Dalvik!!! cache, reboot phone => That would result in a longer boot (similar to an installation of the new rom)
After that animations are working for me. But they stop working again after few times (or reboot).
Obviously something in the rom breaks crt animation.
Anyway, although crt animation is pretty I prefer fast window animation.
It was re-introduced around Nightly #100, but, its too random, and I don't think there's any method to guarantee it will work.

I think it should be possible, because it works for SGS owners. One of my friends has got one, and he told me it works on every version/nightly he tried, so I guess there's a bug somewhere that could be fixed.
Thank you everyone! I tried all that @cceerrtt said, but it dont work...Maybe I will try to set nightly version (the newest #162) Maybe it will work! Thank you one again

Yes, it should be, because other phones also have 'patches' that enable / disable it. But, in my above post, I was referring only to the Wildfire.
I inslalled the newest #162 nightly version od cm7, but the screen off animation not function too...

additional: you also need to disable JIT. It's work for me , but I think it's suck, not cool as it is on other devices
