my favorite
nexushd2 froyo
best build ever, make sure to get launcher pro and your good
everything works
very stable
nothing great about gingerbread

is there a way i can cyanogen mod on it...cause the thing is, i am using this version right now but it is missing the radio and i love listening to radio.

ive tried a good few of sd builds and NAND ones too and the best build i have used is the MyTouch 4G build by Motoman... he has made NAND and sd builds and as far as everything working smoothly for everyday use his is the best. if you wanted to look at it here is the thread link.

they got better, much better.
and like always there are no "best builds"
i can just recommend u using a nand or even a RAM build
my current one is the Ultimate Droid 3.0 RC, but there is a new version out, i recommend trying that one
or else.. cm7, always a good choice
I´m on typhoons CM7 and it runs like a charm really fast and really good battery life (3-5mA in standby with wifi and gps on). But there are a lot of builds that you can try.
I changed my HTC HD2 to android aswell and its fast and table. So you know that to do. Flash it to android

is it really that much better than the 3.0 RC one?
Some of MIUI roms are better for battery. I used miui-star and miui-jaws

is process still the same run off sd card and hit clarett? or something like that are they still on gamesquareuk or where can i find that build?
You have the option of running it off the SD card like the good old days along side winmo. Or you can flash it to the nand memory which is how native android devices run android.
I personally use nand builds and in my experiences they are more stable and battery efficient. Check my sig for the build I use.
Go to the nand android threads and read the stickies to get the lowdown. Since you do need madglr and cwm.

Nope it's fairly straightforward, I did it last night:
1. Install MAGLDR 1.13,
2. Install Clockwork Recovery,
3. Download the rom, renamed to update.zip, stick on SD card
4. Run Clockwork Recovery and install update.zip
5. done
I'm using this one. Seems good so far
i will be securing an htc hd2 tomorrow untouched with windows still on i will definitetly chime in tomorrow as im not that advanced as far as modding phones and am a little nervous. i dont want to brick my phone

and the rom over cwm
get on it asap dude. DFT has really good nand android builds. i rocked a hd2 with their gingerbread and it was brilliant. very stable and didnt crash at all. the process is so easy to
If you used to use FroyoStone by DarkStone, then you should use SuperRam Froyo by Darkstone!

gonna flash soon what in you guys experience is the best full featured nand version are the gingerbread versions fully up and running or still missing certain things
Gingerbread is cool with AWD Launcher Plus and some other widgets.
Unfortunately camera quality in my case was poor so I dropped this rom.

Ok i have the HTC HD2 i been away for like a year and just come back and there seems to be new android 2.3 and that am using 2.2 froyostone sense.. so whats new then? which one would u recommend for me as there loads now cheers
Well, loads has obviously changed now. I would recommend looking here for instructions on how to start over and using this ROM, but you should obviously experiment in terms of ROMs.

[Q] Some ROM Suggestions, please.

Hi,
I had flashed a near stock NAND ROM but was constrained on space. Then tried out an SD ROM, still works well, but found it too slow for comfort
Could anyone please suggest a stable, working, daily use (with everything working) NAND ROM with:
1. HTC Sense
2. A2SD
3. Daemon Controller (preferable).
4. Working camcorder and camera without lags.
Believe me, spent a lot of time searching.
I don't care too much about the themes, the stock HTC are good enough for me.
Thanks,
jiggyk
P.S.: If someone could suggest a stable and fast SD ROM having the above (without #2, of course), that too would do and I would be thankful.

All GB Sense ROMs have camcorder bugs, unfortunately, so I don't think there are any ROMs which don't have this. Unless, of course, Froyo Sense is good enough for you. I've found Froyo Sense to be fast, smooth and stable. I would also recommend trying a CM7 ROM (e.g. Typhoon/Hyperdroid) as these are very fast, and can be themed to look like Sense.

Thank You for your prompt reply.
My preference for HTC sense is primarily because it nicely links my facebook, whatsapp, etc. contacts and shows mobile numbers and email addresses of facebook friends far and near who I did not have in my contacts list hitherto.
However, these ROMS you have suggested, do they have A2SD built in? I am also assuming that the camcorder bugs are in the ROMs with sense. Is that correct??

To answer your questions, yes (I think) and yes.
For stable version you can try Nexus One Rom by Tytung.The base is ligther and the rom is smooth but other rom also has its advantage.

Thanks for your reply, I went through the ROMs you suggested.
The pyramid ROM, you mean version 8.0 on this page, right? Version 9.0 is not pyramid based
Any idea if this ROM is based on Android 2.2 or 2.3??

as far as im aware,but im using v4.0,not all apps can go to sd though,its the only prob i can't work out.......e.g: when using pyramid rom with a2sd,i downloaded facebook for android,went to settings and moved it to sd card,now the rom im using has a2sd also cos i go to sd-ext folder and all my downloaded apps are there,but facebook is not possible to move via settings,but if no joy i came across a free app in the market called Link2SD AND ALL THE APPS I CAN'T MOVE VIA APPLICATION/SETTINGS I CAN MOVE USING LINK2SD.........so i'm 1 happy guy lol
also,if u wait till tomorrow,he says 4.1 is being released with glitches fix and less bugs,but have a play with this version,if u like it,download v4.1 when released(fri)
if you want sense with everything working and i mean a camcorder at 800x480 rather than 320 then you will be looking at a froyo based rom not a gingerbread rom
personally i have moved from a sense rom to a miui rom and changed to go launcher ex and am more than happy with it, its alot faster than sense
Team Blue Droid have produced an excellent sense 3.5 Rom which looks the business and works far better than many others I have flashed recently on mh EU HD2. I am not that technically minded regarding SD card partition types, but I run mine via SD card after flasing a 1024 partition using CMR and the accompanying DAF.exe.
From reading many threads I understand camcorder is less than perfect on most roms at highest res.

Thanks for your inputs, everyone!
I had the same problem of all apps not going through to the SD, and the remaining memory would not go over 25-30MB at any time, with a near stock Froyo ROM. (Yes, it is a very fast and stable sense ROM). I think I'll take your advice and wait for 4.1 and then see how it goes, will download it over the weekend. Also this Link2SD thing looks interesting!!
The Team Blue ROM looks very impressive indeed, what with the Daemon Controller and all, but, going through the forum, many have had glitches with the wifi, network, etc. I thought I'd wait for this ROM to settle, but now that you say that they aren't making any more.......

Yes you are using a Froyo ROM, Gingerbread has several advantages over Froyo, one being a better keyboard. Also there is a lot of apps that do not run on Froyo but do on Gingerbread.
hi if i have androied on my phone htc hd2 can i just down load a new rom and install it?
You need to be reading around in the HD2 Android forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=743
Yes, all you need to do is download and install another ROM. There are instructions for installation in whatever ROM you choose to install. There are a lot to choose from.

Really, you can't ask that kind of question around here and expect a serious reply. Try Tytung, that was previously recommended to you. Or Hyperdroid, or AmeriCan Android.
Try any or all of them.

As far as I know you can't just put Sense on an Android build, that simply isn't how it works (otherwise a tonne of people would have been doing it for a while now) and if you did manage to combine those, it wouldn't be usable with just 512mb of RAM anyway

The choice is up to you. My personal preference is CM7, but if you really want ICS then go for it I guess.
Its all based on what you want on your phone. Some people like sense, some like miui while others like cm7. Look at the videos on youtube and in the post of the ROM your looking at to try and get an idea of what you want on your phone. Not to complicate things but here is a list of around 300 Android ROMs for the HD2. Most are old but even many of the old ROMs still run great and are at least worth it to look at.
ok ty very much for the info!
I donwload AOKP for HD2 but not have a config for email ? (entreprise ou activesync) ! why ?
I'm using Tytungs CM9 ICS v1.5 rom as my daily rom. Had some problems initially (hot reboots once per day) but after upgrading CWM from 4 to 5.0.2.6 (not sure about exact number, the latest anyway) its been running smoothly with an occasional hot reboot. LOVE ICS, battery life is better than my old GB rom and data usage has reduced a lot.
It's no sense but you may like it

Hi m8!!
at the present there's only one ICS Sense Rom cooking, you may find it here:

But there is a great ICS Rom available (AOKP aka IceCreamTosti) which is very smooth and stable that you can try to flash:
