[Q] Whats a really good rom thats out for hd2? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

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.

[Q] Best Android Rom for LEO HD2

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!

Goodbye MDJ - Welcome Pongster's HyperDroid-CM7

After a long time of a love / hate relationship with MDJs_CyanogenMod7_v.2.6_NAND_A2SDCWM ROM, I have now switched to Pongsters latest HyperDroid-CM7-v1.0.2 and OH BOY; what a revelation!
To anyone here who, like me has been deliberating about switching from MDJ's excellent (but buggy!) ROM to an alternative CyanogenMod ROM, here me now!
I had read / re-read Pongsters thread & liked a lot of what he said:-
...In the spirit of the open source community, allow me to share and give back to something I enjoy participating in .... THIS is NOT a PORT... its Completely Built FROM SOURCE, Fully Optimized and Tweaked for the HD2!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Good words, excellent thread with the developer actually present & responding to questions, so, I bit the bullet & took the plunge! I backed up everything using Titanium first though - just in case
Installed the new ROM via CWM - waited (very!) anxiously ......
WOW! Pongsters HyperDroid-CM7-v1.0.2 simply blows away MDJ's ROM - its a no brainer! Its faster, and soooo much smoother!
(Have to say I hated the miniscule font that the ROM comes with, but this is an easy change! - Sorry Pongster!)
I cant believe it - now I can access my HD2 via FTP & WiFi and - when I finish a call of more than a few minutes, my phone no longer locks up! These issues really pi**ed me off with the MDJ build.
OK - you have to install CWM Recovery but that's so easy & there are several videos on YouTube showing how to do it. Once you have CWM you can try out any CWM rom! Simples!
In fact, after I had installed HyperDroid-CM7-v1.0.2 & did a NAND backup I switched back to the old MDJ ROM- just as a comparison! That lasted about 10 mins & now I use HyperDroid-CM7-v1.0.2 as my daily ROM.
I was nervous about making the change & became very "forgiving" for the MDJ rom and its well documented issues, however after the last "battery removal" (when the HD2 locked up yet again after a 10 minute phone call) I simply ran out of patience!
My HD2 is like a new phone! Cheers Pongster
I hope that this post helps others, who like me was "sitting on the fence" waiting for MDJ to return & continue work on his ROM.
Cheers
I'm sure MDJ would probably have the best CyanogenMod ROM out right now if he was actually allowed on here and if he abided to the GPL. He's not just off taking a break btw.
I was loyal to MDJ roms for quite some time back before nand but eventually switched.
First I went to Ultimate Droid which was brilliant for a while but when that got updated to version 3 it seemed to be very buggy. I was using TyphooN CM7 for some time which is excellent but I've recently switched to Pongster's HyperDroid CM7. I've not really noticed any big differences between HyperDroid & TyphooN. Both seem really fast and stable and I'd recommend either of them but with HyperDroid I do need to change the LCD Density back to original 240 - It's way to small.
IMO they're the best Android Roms currently available and I've tested a lot of different roms.

I don't know what issues you're talking about in the MDJ CM7 rom, everything worked for me! I didn't have any issue other then the usual rare app not working with gingerbread, that it happens with all gingerbread roms, I just needed a rom with support from the dev, so I had to move on. I just switched to the ultimatedroid 3.1.1 v2, and every seems to be working fine, I like to test out a rom for a few days before I can move on, so if I'm not satisfied by mid week I'll move on, maybe I'll give the pongster rom a try next!
I didn't have too many bugs with MDJ's build, but typhoon CM7 v2.6.2 is IMO far and away the best ROM right now, although to be honest I haven't given Pongsters build a fair shake.
I'm currently using an old MDJ 2.0 version. I would like to try this build or Typhoon but can I just flash it with CWM without doing something with the Ext2 or 3 on my sd-card? Just flash with clean cache??
Ciao
it's not that stable, and the fon is verry small/ forced closed on first boot

I've tried all of the above, and IMO Typhoon CM7 is the best Gingerbread build out. The battery life is great, very customizable, and rarely is ever lags. It's probably the most stable, reliable builds I've tried.
Crawlingcity's, and Pongster's builds are close seconds though.
I have to agree with the OP! MDJ did make great ROMs back in the "early" android for HD2 days, now other chefs are contributing to the scene with great, stable ROMs.
I have tried most Ginger builds, but I still find the Ginger series from BOYPPC to be the best for my needs. Closer to "stock CM7" and not skinned to death Yea, and this is the only HD2 Ginger ROM (to my knowlege) with a working FM radio. Other then that, the ROM is fast, stable and clean, and with great battery life.

Ok, maybe the HyperDroid isnt looking good (?) but, you can change everyting so you like it.
Boys and girls try Hyperdroid v10 and you will never ever search for other builds.
i agree with OP!!
pongsters rom always smooth n fast
I have never lasted with build as long as I have kept MDJ's, it just works perfect!!!
Not to say it has no bugs, but it is very stable, probably the fastest, most stable rom I’ve had yet, and I had quite a few before his!
but the new futures are forcing my hand at a change and I have been searching for a while to find a new candidate, I know pongstar's roms are great, i used to use his on wm 6.5, but i prefer the natural look to the look he's got going for his rom and I’ve been waiting for him or someone to fix the Bluetooth issue which seems like it is not going to happen anytime soon.
I've never played with sense as i like ginger's work too much but i really like what imika has done, too bad it's not stable enough yet and it seems like no updates to the few problems (like camera) are in the horizon yet.
I spent today searching and trying to figure out what happen to MDJ, i did, not sure if ultimate droid is his work, as I ran to a topic saying that it's his website. I also ran to another old rant from Gingerbread guys not saying nice things about ultimate droid but that was old rant i suppose.
I still have not made a decision, so many choices, i wish MDJ was here and would have stopped being so naughty and shared his toys like the rest of the boys.
in closing I like to thank all of the mods for the great work they put into our device, I was thinking of getting rid of my HD2 before i permanently ported to MDJ's (after unsuccessfully trying a couple of not so stable android builds and going back to wm6). You guys make me proud of my little device and all your efforts do not go unnoticed, even if we, the users, can be a little bit of pricks sometimes.
Any advice on super stable, fat rom, to replace my MDJ would be highly appreciated btw
Thanks

A few weeks ago I would have agreed with you 100% & MDJ's rom was the #1 choice for me. BUT .. there are a lot of smart chefs doing great things with the HD2 - many of whom play an active part in the forums here. These guys actually respond personally to your questions / queries - and abide by the rules! Heads we win - Tails we win! What more could you ask for?

If you change the LCD Density back to original 240, Pongsters HyperDroid-CM7-v1.0.2 looks much like the MDJ build (lot more hidden goodies tho!) - thats where the similarity ends as HyperDroid-CM7 is faster & smoother than the old MDJ build. Its also much more stable.

Go for it - if you have CWM installed it'll take just a few minutes to check out HyperDroid-CM7. You've nothing to lose & much to gain!
There's no way would I go back to MDJ's ROM after running HyperDroid-CM7!
currently i'm running mdj 2.6
when i flash this rom through CWM will i still have all my progress in games and settings?
im using NAND based..any good roms for it?
I was using MDJ's for a long while when just doing DFT flashes to nand. I finally bought in to CWM since no one was doing DFT anymore.
My first was Pongster's rom.. i dont know-- I went with it because thats what seemed like everyone was getting.. It seemed more "power user" type.
I then went to Tyween Typhoon CM7. thats what I use now. My rom of choice currently. Just "feels" better for the average joe who wants Gingerbread
it's not that stable
FOR ME,CM7 HAVE A LOT BUG.
I'm still holding on to MDJ CM7 2.6, maybe this thread will make me port out to pongster's build.. I had use his build previously during the sd card days .. at that time he stopped updating the rom as donation version of his rom could no longer be talked about on xda.
You guys should really try hypersroidgbx v10, been using the hyperdroidgbx since v6 and it is really fast and stable

If you are looking for the most stable and fast rom, try tytung Gingerbread v2.9. Many will tell you that it is simply the best andriod rom out there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060
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,
I tried BoyPPC ROMs and it's quite fast, stable and regularly updated so it seems well followed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1199917
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.
Pyramid
I tested many Roms.
Because I like that HTC stuff, I searched a long time for a stable Sense 3 ROM.
This ROM is amazing and works verry well and smooth:

Iv been trying to get that one for awhile but is not working

I advise you NOT to get the 4.X Roms because they still are not optimized enough and don´t have "functions" that are worth getting for!

Hi simadams the link in your "shortlist this one" post is dud can repost to tell me which rom and version it is
HyperDroid is the best. I've tried all Sense ROMs, they're all not fast enough for me.
Sense is BS most of the time.
this is the one I use
[20.Feb.2012] NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9 V1.4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860)... its great... but there are some small glitches... like I can'e edit the contacts from the default People app, I can send MMS (could be my configuration problem), cant change the default app once I check the box in the pop up, battery performance is poor (lasts only 12-15hrs)...
But its really smooth and fully functional...
Why can't one search the forum before asking this Question !!!!!!!!!!!
I am sure there are more than 10 threads with the same question..
whats the best ROM is a lot like asking whats the best flavor ice cream. (butter pecan personally) lol. The point is whats the best in our, the communities eyes don't always match up with one another. This is because what i want on my ROMs you may not and vise versa. The more details you give the better someone may point out a ROM they like that they might feel you will enjoy too.
If you want something a little older thats really fast and reliable one might point out RAFDROID HD. If you want something a little newer maybe running Gingerbread i would suggest CoreDroid GB. If you want sense 3.0/3.5 i feel Team Blue Droid V3.6 runs pretty smooth and they have a themed version under development. I would check out youtube and type in HD2 roms. Watch a few and try and get an idea of what your looking for. There is a great site found here that list many of the Android ROMs for the HD2. It tells you some basic info about each one like if it has sense, what build and when it was updated. Take awhile looking over each one and read some of the comments in that thread to try and get an idea of what you'll be getting. Hopefully then you'll be able to make a great choice on the perfect ROM for you.

[Q] Best Sense Rom and Best ICS Rom

There is no 'best ROM'. You'll have to try them out and find one for yourself. What works for one person won't necessarily work for another. Also, if you're going to respond to this directly come up with something better than 'oh I just want opinions' because all you have to do to find that is to look in the ROM thread at some of the posts and to look at the viewcount + post count of each ROM.
Try NexusHD2 CM9 HWA by TyTung
I don't think there is an ICS ROM with Sense. Sbryan 1124 has an alpha version of the 4.0.3 Sense 4 ROM from the One V but it's not fit for daily use. Try the NexusHD2 CM9 HWA by TyTung. It's vanilla ICS but it has very few issues

Also, if you're going to respond to this directly come up with something better than 'oh I just want opinions' because all you have to do to find that is to look in the ROM thread at some of the posts and to look at the viewcount + post count of each ROM.

thats why i said "but i want opinions on the best Sense rom and best ICS" which means i want opinions on why they think its the best, not just what i think is best.. i much rather hear what other people have to say about the rom. if i wanted on just tuned for me i would just make my own.

I don't think there is an ICS ROM with Sense. Sbryan 1124 has an alpha version of the 4.0.3 Sense 4 ROM from the One V but it's not fit for daily use. Try the NexusHD2 CM9 HWA by TyTung. It's vanilla ICS but it has very few issues

Lol i know that much, but when i tried sense roms i had some lag. But with the ICS roms i have more reliability, im using Nexus HD2 i like it but its been buggy on me where it doesnt notify me when i get a text so its kinda of making me go "eehh" to that rom for now.

Either way you look at it, 'best ROM' threads are wrong and there isn't an answer so why bother asking?

Having made my point about there being no best ROM, I can say that NexusHD2 works absolutely perfectly for me. I've been notified about every text and it's without doubt the fastest ROM I've tried for playing games and web browsing in particular. I won't say it's the best ROM because this is EXACTLY what I mean about 'what works for one won't necessarily work for another' but it's certainly good. Sense ROMs are in general slow, and you're not experiencing anything out of the ordinary. If you don't like one of them, chances are you're not going to like any of them.

I know what you mean, im sorry for mis-wording the thread, but i just like seeing opinions on Rom's before i try them. But if i dont like one sense rom doesnt mean i wont like a different one, every developer has there on way how they make their rom, so what could be in this rom could be completely different in this one, but hey thats the fun of making a rom. Also NexusHD2 my current daily use rom just because of how clean and stable it is, i probably messed something up to get the notification problem, but it has high potential along with paranoidandroid. but the main reason i like opinions on this subject is because maybe there is a underdog rom some where that isnt really get as much attention as the bigger ones right now that could be actually decent and what im looking for, or maybe and aspiring developer is making something.

I agree with you on wanting opinions I like to see the same... just ignore the above person because there is no where in the rules that's states this is wrong.....he just has nothing better to do..... anyway back on topic..... I have tried paranoid ( which I'm on and I LOVE) the later update allows alot of spirit changes that allow me to have everything to my liking... I have a half table half phone thing going on and its great. I tried aokp but I felt it was too buggy maybe after its off hold it will be better. I myself have been wondering about gb roms my self i haven't tried any hope this helps

The main reason i liked paranoidandroid was becaus of how stable it was and the uniqueness of the tablet phone. It looked nice and felt nice but the keyboard was a giant turn off and when i installed a different keyboard it would bug out like crazy and i couldnt find a way to fix it. But overall it has really good and clean.

Paranoidandroid 1.1a didn't work so well for me. The phone randomly restarted one day and was stuck at the boot screen for hours. NexusHD2 gets the job done for me. I can live with the bugs

Thats why Nexus HD2 is my daily use rom, the only bugs in it are small ones that will be worked out. but other than that its overall great, but personally parnoidandroid does have my attention because i like the whole hybrid style, just some kinks need to be ironed out.

I like the whole hybrid concept too. Is paranoidandroid 1.2a any better?

It definitely is IMO it has even more detail into what dpi's can be controlled and it has a new keyboard... the giant keyboard was a true turn off but I fixed that by adjusting the dpi for the keyboard and its great now I have hack zero reeboots or issues and battery life with juice defender and slightly oc is like 17 hrs moderate use for me

Whilst I'm not here to get into any sort of argument, I'd just like to point out that just because something isn't stated in the rules doesn't mean it's not wrong. Back on topic though, Paranoidandroid is really good and different from other ROMs, although as of when I tried it NexusHD2 was far more stable and I preferred it.
