[Q] Android on stock HTC ROM?

Hey,
Just wondering if anyones tried running Android on a stock HTC ROM?
I'm thinking of re-flashing the original Windows Mobile ROM and seeing if it will be able to launch Android from SD Card?
I've heard someone say it has been known to work?

I will be tonight when I finish work
Thought i'd ask ahead just in case anything I need to know. I want to have the stock ROM just because everything works on it and battery life is pretty good, but then can have Android to play around on

I am just using Android on my Stock Rom for the last 20 days.
Its working fine but the problem is instability in the Working of Android.
I have tried all the versions with different Radio versions.
Among them the best suit is Shubcraft1.4d the latest one and Radio version 2.11.50.20

I've been running Android on my "original" stock TMOUS ROM for about 3 full weeks now. At first, I ran Android with the stock 2.08 radio for about 4 days. For some reason, I rebooted my device and I was never able to get Android to run successfully again. I kept getting WSOD during boot-up and BSOD when trying to wake from sleep.
Finally, I flashed my radio to 2.12, and I've had absolutely no problems. I've seen many complaining that the stock TMOUS ROM causes problems, but I think it has more to do with radio, zImage, and build combinations than WinMo ROMs.
Good luck

just loaded android on stock 1.48.707.2 rom but with updated radio 2.12 version seemed to work o.k but froze a bit here and there seemed useable apart from the crashes

hmm, think tonight i will reflash to stock rom from HTC and then try radio 2.10 as per person further up, try it with various builds then maybe try radio 2.12... i will post my results within the next several hours

I think there are also differences between TMOUS and our European ROMS. Especially because of the Radios. I thought about Flashing back to complete Stock ROM SPL, etc. That way I could never get any problems with the warranty etc. I will try it when I find time.

I tried on the stock ROM and sadly everytime Android would go through the initial boot it would just display some text in the top left, then stop, then the text would slowly "fade" from bottom right to top left and the backlight of the screen remains lit but the phone hangs with nothing displayed
I've now put on the phone:
Windows Mobile ROM: Elegancia E-CHT ROM
Android Version: Mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense
Radio: 2.11.50.20
I've put a shortcut to CLRAD.exe and HaRAT.exe on my home screen on WinMo. Now I can use Windows Mobile for stability and battery life and working Wi-Fi Tethering etc, but can boot into android for games, apps, smooth interface and most of all, bragging rights(can now ram it into my friends with iPhones faces)
While i'm here now i've changed my set up completely, i'll explain what its like
With this set up, i've found the phone is some wait smoother, the screen still freezes but not for as long as before.
I've found sometimes the interface can sometimes be slightly sluggish but not enough to be a problem
I've called speaking clock and the voice was very clear
Overall very happy and now have the best of Android and the best of Windows Mobile

On my normal WinMo Rom I've used for quite some time now (some weeks before trying the first Android build) everything runs without freezes etc. So far 1 SOD and 2 freezes without a visible reason. And I'm running mainly Android for 5 weeks now. So it seems I was quite lucky to have an Android compatible ROM without having to flash some stripped down ROM. The only thing I'm missing in my ROM are fast boot times but those can be improved by disabling Sense.

I use stock ROM 1.66 ELL but Radio changed to 2.12 (with stock radio didn't work)
I have tried several Android builds and all works as supposed to work.

I have been testing all the Android versions using stock 1.66 WWE (just updated radio) with no problems at all. I have never used a custom WM ROM on my HD2, and have found Android to be on a par with what others have reported. Now running Mattc + Froyo w/Sense 1.6b with no problems so far.

I use stock ROM SVE 1.66 but radio changed to 2.10. I have been testing several builds and they all have worked ok.
The best build for me has been: darkstone HD2Froyo V2.1.

well, i have 1.48 wwe stock rom, never had any issues with any of the android builds...only changed my radio to 2.08.50..
i suggest darkstone's builds..either the hd2froyo or the froyostone series......no issues whatsoever

Yeah maybe it was my combination of radio/build. I'm now using the Mattc Leo Froyo build and the Elegencia ROM and isn't too different from the stock ROM and has most of the apps still installed

No problems running on stock tmoble 1.72 rom just had to update radio to one ending in 50

I’m a newbie at this so apologies if I confuse rather than help.
I bought my HD2 off eBay so don’t know if it’s been flashed or not. I didn’t attempt to flash or change the radio version myself just in case I brick it!! I scared like that
I am currently using ShubCRAFT 1.4d_1GB (hard reset and switched Sense off in WM for quicker boot) and it works perfectly, good battery life and fast .
WM Software details:
OS version: 5.2.2189
Manila version: 2.5.20113626.0
ROM version: Miri HD2 ROM – V4.0 WWE
Radio version: 2.07.50.27_2
To answer your question, and given the above are the standard versions, yes you can run android on ur standard HTC HD2 thanks to the awesome developers.

I am using a windows mobile stock ROM (1.66.405.2) with radio version 2.12.50.02 and mattc leo + froyo w/sense 1.6b Kernel: michyprima 2.6.32.9 #70. I have had no problems with wifi, 3g, sound, or calls. Everything works fine and pretty good battery life and quite stable.

Yours isn't a stock ROM! You have bought your HD2 with a flashed ROM on it.

Thank you Raudi1
I bucked up the courage to install a new radio after I submitted my post, and in the process realised that it had HardSPL on it already! which one of you sold me your 'touched' HD2!?
So I updated my radio version to 2.12.50.02_2 - yes I'm proud

Audio speed too fast.

Hello.
When booting into an Android (2.2) based ROM, everything seems to be working fine. The only problem that I have come in contact with is the audio speed. Music plays too fast, is sped up, etc. I did make sure to click the "clrcad" file before booting into Android.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

what WM ROM u use??
you should update your wm ROM..

How do I find out which ROM I'm using?

The ROM version is 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE

I have the same problem, what can I do to resolve it? Im a rookie so please go easy on me

I'm running the minimal ChuckyDriod WM Rom with 2.12 radio rom and the combo works great for any android build I've tried.
Various stickies have info for flashing roms.

I had the same problem when I first installed android, running Chuckyrom and radio Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2. I swapped the radio to Leo_RADIO_2.10.50.26** and that got rid of the audio problems.
Lately I've installed ChuckyDroid and are now running android without any major hick-ups.

[Q] Robot Voice after HSPL, Room Cookie Energy and Radio 2.12

Hello Everyone,
I do not have any experience with HTC HD2 or android, but decided to try, so excuse me for lame questions.
My device is US T-mobile 1024 Flash
I installed HSPL (2.08) for US T-mobile 1024 Flash, Cookie Energy Rom and updated Radio to 2.12 and still have robot voice.
Previously, I had radio 2.10 with robot voice, so that is why I moved to 2.12 version.
I also have dual-boot installed and to make sure that everything goes fine I started windows and then manually executed:CLRCAD.exe and Hareit.exe.
Still robot voice.
Just note, I know that CLRCAD.exe does not do anything visible, but it is not even clear if it was execute.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
I tried searching the forum, but search function is currently down.

what android rom are you running? what kernal are you using.Id say more than not the robotic voice thing is more dependant on the radio and the kernal more so than the rom.
I use energry rom's and I've never had robotic voice. I am also currently using radio 2.14 with shubcraft 1.5 ppp.

I am using the Tmobile 578mb version of theHD2 and after I had went through about three roms I found one that worked for me.
I am using the mattc leo froyo 1.8 and it is working perfectly. (wifi/phone/et all).
hope that helps.

WM Rom Energy Cookie 21916
Radio 2.12.50.02.2
Android: darkstone HD2Froyo V2.1 - Release Date: 17.Aug.2010 - darkstone 2.6.32.9 #36 Kernel:

Tmous with ChuckyDroid & 2.12 radio & no longer get robot voice in any android builds I've tried since (mainly using Bangster's).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734238
It is a very minimal WinMo rom though.

Thank you!
ChuckyDroid and radio 2.12 worked perfectly. No robot voice anymore.
Another problem, GPS does not work. Have to search forum!
Thanks again!

[Q] New rom 3.14 and Android = Robotic audio during a call...HELP!

Dear Friends i've installed the new rom from HTC 3.14 with radio 2.15.
Android start and work fine but the audio during a call is robotic as an first version of Android.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
Thanks at all.
Excuse for my english: i'm italian!

2.15 has been hit with many problems for us HD2 Android users, so that would be my first thing to change. If that doesn't fix it, try a more android friendly WinMo Rom but stick with 2.14 while you test.

Thanks for your answer.
I've installed Android with old stock ROM 1.66 and radio 2.15 and this work fine.
Only with new original ROM HTC 3.14 audio is robotic.
The new radio does not allow HSPL ...

Robotic voice is mainly caused by the winmo rom, and the use of new audio drivers. Flash the winmo to a different rom like Energy, ChuckyDroid, or VBN.

thanks for the reply..

nothing will happen
Just remember to run task29 before you flash your new rom

I have my device now for about 15 mounts, and in the meal wile I have install more than 70 Rom's on it without any problems.
The most important is not how much Rom versions you will install but eater if you would do it correctly.

Why don't you put HSPL3 2.08HSPL and MAGLDR1.13 on it so you can have Android on NAND, Windows Phone 7, hah? . . . now we're talking

Like kurt-willems, my HD2 is like 15 months old, I´m a flashaholic since other devices in the past. I think I flashed roughly 50 custom ROMs (plus some stock ROM flashes before task29 was possible with stand-alone apps).
It is being said that the memory chip technology which stores the OS ROM can be at least re-written 1000 times. I don´t think I will still use the HD2 in 20 years.
Maybe, I´ll keep it as a souvenir as one of the greatest smartphones in the early 2000´s. And at least 1 ROM of each OS on an SD... just for fun, hehe...

I couldn't really remembered how many ROM flashing i've had done since my Dopod 838 Pro, TyTN II, Touch Pro, Touch Pro2, Snap and now HD2, nothings bad happened. So the point is, it's safe as long as You do by the rule Sir. Go a head, You can do more than just that, Cheers

Bro, your avatar is the same with the signature of Bro Tictac (above your post )
I have been flashing my HD2 for 13 months and I tried almost all wwe roms available in XDA and HTC Pedia. But I think it still below 1000 times.
And when it reaches 1000 times and something happen with my HD2, I will not regret it because HD2 is the best phone ever made by HTC
Cheers....

Since you are running a custom ROM, then you alread have HSPL running. I would go into BootLoader Mode to confirm that the SPL is 2.08.HSPL
Your RADIO is fine (although there are a few updated verions 2.12.50 and the 2.15.50 are the more popular).
Once all that is done then you are able to go into the Android NAND ROM Flashing.
