i recently purchased HTC HD2 phone that comes with windows mobile 6.5.
I don't have a problem with it but some friends praised Android. I tried froyo on my sd card but it didn't work very well. it crashed and didn't load properly. Then someone told me that i've to remove windows mobile and install android fresh.
Can anyone suggest if android runs well on htc hd2? will i be able to use camera, phone, wifi, data, gps with android? But primarily it should work like any phone out there, after all its a phone.
Go to the HD2 Android Dev forum. There should be AmeriCanDroid.
That's a good stable build that I'm using.
SD base.
As far as I remember, AmeriCanDroid is for US T-Mobile users. If you use european version then I would suggest trying ROMs by Rafdroid (it's of course only my suggestion, but his ROMs are most stable for me.)
go to android NAND development and search for the stickies. there is a link which show a lot of android builds.
you can choose by yourself what kind of android you prefer (sense builds, stock froyo, gingerbread etc.) just give it a try
I´m personally on typhoons cm7 which runs really great.
but do i have to remove my existing windows mobile on my htc hd2?
will i be able to sync all my contacts, text messages with android?
Android works with google, so you can put the contacts in your gmail and it will sync with android on the telephone. Text messages wont work as far as I know
Just like the other people say, take a look in the android nand section and read the sticky's, they tell you everything you need to know.
I'm on the HyperDroid and works great
read thist thread, it will help you to decide.
ps: mods, this thread should be stick. its very helpfull to noods and more advanced users

Actually, they post US and ex-US builds each time a new build is released. Many ex-US users post there, but far too many US and ex-US ask the same tired questions over and over. Read the FAQ, and enjoy a good build.
id go for this thread HERE, which should help you get started.

Me too. It is stable and has low battery usage.
Development is in progress, the remaining issues should be fixed soon.

I followed the steps provided at thread provided by gizmolisa2006.
After step 3 was done, which was to install MAGLDR 1.13 and it flashed (if thats the correct word) ROM to 2.00.000.0 by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe.
after that i pressed the power key and it doesn't go into bootloader or the magldr menu doesn't come up. i did what it said in that video as well. but no luck.
now my hd2 is stuck on white background with pink "Stick Together" logo.
Can anyone please help?
Did you flash HSPL first?
cap
my bad, i was suppossed to install 2.08.hspl instead of 3.03.

help... i don't really know what type HTC HD2 i m using.. i m confused by so many types in the market, leoxxxx...t-mobile, htc sense?
i suggest hyperdroidgbx cm7 v1.0.3 runs great super fast and stable as all hell for me...only froze on me once so far and it was while i was streaming videos using flash...
great build
The most important thing is to get proficient at flashing your hd2 so that you can try out a few builds. Once you get hspl and magloader on your phone, I recommend coredroid simply because the instructions for getting clockwork recovery on your phone and installing coredroid are laid out fairly clear in a file with the download. From there you can try flashing other builds if coredroid doesn't suit your needs. I'm currently using hyperdroid and it's great for me.

Its all in here,

it helped me ...
thats if you go the sd card route which is the simplest i would say
Good luck
I planned flashing to froyos version if that's what you mean !? I also want to choose which OS I want to load when I start my phone.
doesnt the rom that you want specifiy the steps required?
Check out my signature. I have some instructions in my signature that might help. Also you might want to check out CoreDroid here. I find that it´s stable and fast, with some nice eye candy.

Good choice! If you need help, let me know..
does windows mobile 6.5 disappear when I install coredroid?? I would like to have both OS..
Then you need to boot android from SD. Go to the android SD sub forum
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
yes but can I have both wm and coredroid installed? I did a flash but then wm was gone.
I know this is the wrong section but I got some kind of feeling that there are more people looking in this section.
I have read some guides in the Development section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537'
But I got some questions about rooting/S-off.
Why is rooting/S-off necessarily, why can't I just put the rom on my SD and go right into recovery mode and boot it up from there?
Also the program visionary plus, I hate that thing so much.... At this step:
Open Visionary and tap temproot, then attempt permroot now. Your device will reboot.
How the hell do I open it? I use Astro File manager or something to go to the file but I can't install the program on my mobile/SD card >.<
Also what do I need to do more besides Wiping my phone? In this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
It says to flash a Radio is this a must? Or is the S-off/Root enough.
Thanks already

No, the DHD has a protected system which precludes overwriting the system partition so without S-OFF you can not make any permanent changes.

Don't use it then the instructions here, achieve root without the use of visionary.

No, but using a newer radio may improve battery life and wifi/Gps reception etc.

No worries!
When I had the wrong Radio my battery drain was 15% an hour and this was with a sense Rom. imo S-OFF is a must.
i used this and it worked great.

Actually all of the roms now are running Gingerbread, and sense roms are on sense2.1 (With some sense3.0 elements).
My bad, when I was choosing which rom to load yesterday, everything i read said AR was still 2.2. Must have been old threads.
Thanks guys I now know enough

just for the record, nobody can help you based on this information. you need to quote the error message.
Haven't tried CM7 but if you haven't already flashed a rom I'd give a big thumbsup for Leedroids GB rom, very quick, stable and flashed like a dream

+1 for this. definitely give LeeDroid a go if you can. admittedly, it's the only custom one i've used to date (and for less than 24 hours at that), but i can't rate it high enough compared to the branded rom i got in the first place. amazing!

There is no error message. I just can't find a 'exe' or AKP file which will install the program on my SD/Mobile.
@ Above,
No, I haven't flashed a ROM yet since I heard there are some problems with ClockWorkmod of ROM Manager so I am going to wait for a few days xD

sorry to hear that. it's news to me, though. i downloaded it (CWM), and used it last night in the process of flashing the rom, no issues. but i understand the whole 'there may be issues, so i think i'll wait - don't want to brick my phone' line of thought. good luck when you get there. i'm sure you'll be fine if you follow the various guides posted on here. they worked an absolute treat for me (and i'm the definition of n00b).

So basically I'm screwed? Since I need to downgrade to root, and to backup you need to have root >.< but when you downgrade you lose everything xD
I will try it tonight ._.
If you want to back up the new GB OTA ROM then yes but if you just want to back up your apps then No, you don't need root.
Titanium works with root but doesn't need it. Also, if you ticked to let Google keep a backup then your apps will be re-downloaded when you next perform a wipe.

Using Windoze is great....
One word for you: Linux.
At the risk of high jacking this thread, have you installed HTC Sync? Can you connect to HTC Sync? If not, try another USB port (if using front port use back ports or vice-versa). If none work uninstall HTC Sync and reinstall it after rebooting PC.
If that works when you are in adb (making sure USB Debugging is on) try
Code:
adb devices
Do you get a result?

It won't work since it still requires for you to install the beta over zune...
can't someone with a device it will work on do a dump of the rom post-install??

What Beta to install over the Zune ?
Sorry man, you are not the first one asking this. There are several other threads about the mango-update for now, why open another one?
No its not working. How should it, did you ever update your hd2 with wp7 over zune? I guess not. We have to wait till dft or the legendary yuki build a rom that will be flashable via magldr. there is no other way!
you need to remember my friend that the HD2 is not ment to have WP7 on it at all.
The only reason we do have it is because of some test drivers that were made way back, these test drivers are not finished drivers which is why we have a dodgy touch screen / battery/ camera / flashl
anyhow, even if it were possible to install the update on the HD2 via zune you would very likely end up buggering up your device. All it takes is for MS to overwrite one of our special drivers and that would be it.
so in short, the only way we have of upgrading is to reflash when someone releases a HD2 compatible ROM, thats it, as of right now there is no other way.
Ok, thanks for explanation.

that is light on the battery? If you can provide the reason why and

Depends on ur requirements but you can try this if you are looking for a very stable one with no frills, the battery is great too :-

Hold down the power button. In the future search before posting and if you still have to post then at least do it in a related thread rather than an old and random best ROM thread.

Hello best friend. You've need "toolkit 4.2.0.1 HD2" and you've download this (free) program about 15 a 20 MB and run these onto your Windows 7 PC or laptop. Bootloader *phone off and press volume down and start up phone with volume down*. You will see a 4 colorscreen "red/green/blue and white" and into white screen says "SERIAL" wenn not connected with datacable and "USB" wenn connected datacable between HTC HD2 and PC. It's very important to use this datacable or you cannot upload other roms because mostly uploads are going via datacable.
