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!

Seriously???....Anyway here's d best NAND ROM for you....go checkout MPSXDA's Desire HD NAND ROM with Von 10.09 Kernel ...i swear it has d best battery life (5 days with full usage), extremely low temperature..Farenheit? it measures 20 degrees celsius.....Its fast, stable & must be used for a primary device....
In case u haven't gotten d hint yet, there's absolutely no way any1 here on xda can recommend a ROM for any1..Why u ask? cuz we all use our phones differently so go out there, download a bunch of ROMs, grab a flask (or more) full of coffee n start flashing n testing...Then find what works for you...Sheesh!!
P.S. Make sure you READ, READ & READ the flashing instructions over n over again else u end up with an expensive paper weight...

Yes but if there was A Best rom everyone would be using it not so? I doubt anyone starts out looking for the worst rom. The fact that everyone is using different roms should give you a clue. Find the one that's best for you.

Some thoughts
I am somewhat a newbies in the Android on HTC HD2 field and definitely a noob on this forum.
You know what is my goal? I'd like to put a post on what I consider to be the best ROM and a glossary on all the technical terms once I have more understand on how this whole thing work. IMHO, there is way too many choices when it come to picking a Android ROM on HTC HD2. And it is very hard for a newcomer to pick one simply because the person would not know what is the difference and what should look for.
{What's the pros and cons between SD and NAND? What is "CWM", "MAG", "cLK", "A2SD", "MAGLDR", "ZIP", "DAF"...etc and how each affects a ROM? What is a good ROM to recommend and what to avoid? What is the most stable ROM so far and what ROMs are considered to be faster?}
Many of these above questions may seems common sense or just a matter of choice to you, who have more experience on the matter, but surely a different case to people with little experience.
I am not trying to offense anyone. I am only advocating for some patient and some tolerance toward people obviously can use some helps. I understand one can always research one's way out, but if you have the time and the will to help, why not drop off some advises and directions to reduce the needed time for research and make this forum a more loving place? Your efforts are greatly appreciated and are recognized by other users.
Just my 2 cents
Anyone noticing an abundance of these redundant threads? Seriously, I'm hoping this just happens to be a coincidence of such a bunch new users trying to install android. If this keeps up then it might even be wise to restore that thread about best HD2 roms, or even make one.
And one thing I hate is people who actually accommodate for these requests or if we do. The new user isn't learning anything at all, except an answer handed to him on a silver platter, and having learnt nothing, they'll just continue in their "ignorant" ways.

Hi,
Thread already exists.
Please check my sig...guide number 1
I have long been looking for a good ROM and I can not find if you can recommend a good ROM?
Its all about personal preference, the only way to figure out which rom suit your needs is if you try them out yourself. Just go to the thread rom that you might be interested in and read what people say about it.
Also check out this thread its very helpful

MDJ's, and Dandiest's Roms seem to run quite smoothly with the NAND build.
I would definately suggest a nand rom, i just have probs with my rom-zip...
I used MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v2.6 (22 JAN) for a month.
I'm very happy on it. Fast, Smooth, and stable.
Definitely MDJ's Cyanogenmod 7 2.6 - Its the best NAND for me
I also use MDJs CyanogenMod 7 and I'm very happy with it
If your looking for speed i can recommend Sergio Coredroid 1.3 there is no faster build than this at present.

Well tha completley depends on what you define as "best" and "good" as opinions are subjective and stability differs from user to user and device to device.
Go try some and see which YOU find "good" or the "best" and you will then have your answer
anybody has a really good experience tethering with mdj or dandiest roms?.....trying 2 learn from u guys first to speed things up....so anybody? thanks guys.
Hands down the best rom is the one in my sig. It's crazy fast alot of customizing options. Pretty awesome battery life if you turn off what you don't use.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
As pointed out you will get many posts claiming the rom they are using is the absolute best/fastest/most stable etc etc etc, but in reality it's just the absolute best for their needs. There's only one way to find the best rom today for you and that's to try a few out and decide what's BEST for you. Unless you also ask all of your friends which is the best girl to date/marry
If there was such a thing as the 1 best rom, then it would be the only one everyone was using and all other devs would just pack up and move on, but the reality is that each rom has it's group of ardent followers and they feel that rom meets their needs, but which most probably will not be what it is that you need in a rom. That's the reason why these threads are completely pointless as all you get are fanboi's claiming "mine's bigger/better than yours". At the end of the day after 50+ posts you are still none the wiser as to which one is best.
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.
Let me preface this by saying I am not trying to start a "What is the best ROM" thread. My question is simple. Of the many Android ROMs available for the HD2, which is the most optimized and stable Gingerbread ROM? Furthermore, is there some sort of CM7 port for the HD2?

I'm sorry but I really didn't want people's personal preferences on ROM's. When I meant the most optimized Gingerbread ROM, I meant the most optimized ROM. Not talking about features, looks or anything else. Just the smoothest one that runs Gingerbread. I also apologize that I didn't look around the forums enough to find the CM7 port thread. I'm still learning my way around these forums and I have very little knowledge regarding these ROMs and such but I will do my best to look for relevant threads.

I base my own tests on how good gun bros runs on the roms i have tested and till now only NexusHd2- from tytung runs this game without any problems. All other roms failed. It may be that i am doing something wrong but is very unlikely.
I've tried CM7 nightlies and tytung's rom, both have issues last I checked (last week). Tytung build seemed great, but just had the phone app lockup/issue mid-call (perhaps it's fixed by now).
I settled on Tyween's TyphooN CM7 "nightly" build, and have had no issues at all since the install.

This is kinda like asking what do you prefer crunchy or creamy peanut butter...your bound to get many different responces. lol.
Check out this site. It lists almost all the nand android ROMs found here on XDA in a place thats much easier to find it.
AmeriCanAndroid is a great ROM and its updated often so thats always a good starting point. if your one that prefers HTC sense then maybe try out RAFDROID HD. i've personally found this ROM very fast and stable. If you like more of a iphone type feel then try a miui ROM out. i would suggest LADY MIUI or D4RK MIUI.
There really is no one best ROM, i think anyway. This is because everyone has their phone set up slightly different and also want different things on their cell. just try out a few ROMs intill you find something you want to stick with for a little bit of time and see how it goes. It took me several months to settle on a ROM because i always wanted to flash every new ROM that came out. lol.
I tried Miui, Sense and cynogen based roms; Miui has the best home applications like the camera app, phone app, etc. The fastest (real difference), with lots of tweaks and the best baterry for me is Dorimanx High end rom, although some of his builds are not stable because he is always updating his rom. Im using dorimanx rom right now, although im waiting to see if Hyperdroid is updated wich is another excellent rom.
Hello,

But I agree with previous comments that it depends on your configuration and your needs. each one has pros and cons and you should just test the one that best fits to your needs.
Since Feb I'm using AmeriCanAndroid (well, cope's sd rom at that time, before he and warrenb started together AmeriCanAndroid). Haven't changed to anything else since then. Have switched to the nand version since 2-3 weeks and I'm happy with it.
