[Q] HTC HD2 - Android Porting

Getting ready for brickbats, I send in this query.
I have an HD2. I want to try Android OS on it. However, the information in the forums is quite overwhelming for someone like me, who only knows the front end of the phone. I have searched the forums for methods and which version to use, but end up getting lost.
All I know till now is that I need to download the Android file and save it on the phone and then run it. But which version(there are so many!)? What are things that work, and do not work? What all do I need to do for a functional phone after I port it?
My apologies if the answer to this has already been posted somewhere; please point me to it and I shall be grateful.
Please help!

Sorry mate, but all the answers to your questions are in the threads in the development section.
Just pick one and read the first post (realistically, read the first few pages). That gives you all the info you need on running Android.
Just go from ROM to ROM and read what's already been written about them, in order to decide which to use.

Thank you John! I will do that!
Seasons Greetings!

[Q] Afraid of bricking. How to prevent?

Hi everyone!
I'd like to install NAND Android on my HTC HD2. I'm really,really afraid of doing this because of the bricking posibility.
Can I do it in any safe way, like creating a backup of WinMo 6.5 ROM and installing it in case Android install goes wrong?
Or maybe someone can point me in the right direction on how to do everything safe? What should I NOT do?
Please help me guys, I'd really appreciate it!

Look in the nand android thread and go to the "sticky roll-up thread " and click on the intruction guide for noobs and read it realy good. Follow intructions (watch the video) , if you do as said in the instructions, nothing can go wrong.

Yeah like posted, as long as you follow the directions you should be fine. Read through the Noob thread a couple times and ask about anything you do not understand before attempting to do it, there are a lot of experienced users here (myself included) who can assist you with questions.

Thank you guys, I'll attempt to do everything this weekend. I'll ask everything I won't understand.

You really can't expect help whenever you ask for it, and if I knew anything about devving I probably wouldn't help you after that. Anyway, most devs don't pay attention to the Q&A section, so you're not likely to get too much help.

As the title says, I want to cook HD2 ROM since on every ROM I tried something was missing for me, so the solution is: I will develop my own ROM and share it here on XDA if its going well.
But, I don't really know how to start, I'm not a noob but not a developer either.
All I need is to know where to cook ROMs (I have dsixda kitchen and used it b4, but only for MAGLDR to cLK ports and some minor things, tried to cook with it but with no success, the ROM didn't boot, kerenl problem I believe...), I need to know how to start from scratch: grab base from somewhere, add / change kernels, add Aroma instalation etc.
The rest, tweaking ROM for example, I would like to know how, but too soon for now...
So please masters, help me out! :angel:

Well there are guides for dsixda kitchen, you just have to use the HD2 source code for whatever ROM type you want to cook (ie CM9 AOKP CM7 MIUI SENSE etc)
