I just got my HD2 a couple days ago an went with MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 v2.6 A2SD+ NAND build which was nice and easy to flash over and has really impressed me.
The only problem I have, however, is that the talk mic is too loud and people I call complain that it sounds like I am on speaker phone. I've tested it a bit and it seems that it is too loud.
Obviously the build I am using is not the newest, but has this been addressed in something like pongster's HyperDroid builds?
I've searched all around and this seems to be an issue that was more common when the MDJ build was released, but it would seem people are still having issues with some newer builds?
Thanks so much!
So, I have switched over to the HyperDroid builds and it didn't help the problem, I also went ahead and followed the proposed solution on this thread and haven't really noticed much of an improvement. Is there no way to throw an app in the signal path and just turn the gain down? Or better yet run some sort of background noise reduction?

Ok Guys, I've Seemed To Have Gotten Mixed Results When Searching For This : Is It At All Possible To Have The Stock HTC HD2 ROM, And Still Fully Use An Android Build [no robot voice] ?
Now I know you can flash the stock rom to other custom versions, which quite frankly I haven't found one rom yet that I really would use over the stock rom.
if this is a stupid question to anyone, please forgive me, I'm still learning this whole android thing !

No there is not. If you like how Android works on Android native devices you will like my rom setup. Its smooth functional. You can find it here.
http://leoandroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=212&t=168
I plan on making tutorials for other roms as well in the future.
don't think there is anything stupid in your question i personally use android (Darkstone's Froyostone Sense) with the newest stock rom (3.14). Apart from not having a flash for camera (couldn't care less), everything works pretty well, no robot voice, battery is quite good, though i don't have any automatic syncs, prefer manual, in standby the battery drain is 7-9 mA (without any registry tweaks/BsB thingy) hope that helps.
Sweet, Thanks Guys !
im going to check out both builds
I used Mdeejay's Desire Z 1.0a android build on my completely stock US HD2 without any robot voice. I even used Mattc's latest froyo build without any problems whatsoever, no SoD or robot voice. I just did not like missing the features of Mdeejay's build and switched back, however it did cause the SoD randomly and somewhat frequently. I finally broke down and put HSPL 2.08 and the latest energy (close to stock) Winmo Rom. Havent had the SoD issue since, battery life sucks (to be expected) using Android, but it's worth it.
I'm considering selling my MyTouch3g 32a for a HD2 device... But, I need to know some things before I make this move.
It looks like you can't yet replace the WinMo 6.5 with Android, so it has to run off SD. At least that's what I can infer. How does this effect performance?
Is battery life good on the HD2? My MyTouch3g can get about 17-18 hours off the charger.
What does and doesn't work on the HD2 running Android? Any quirks I should know about? ...Is it stable and reliable enough to be a daily driver?
Also since I'm on T-Mobile, I'd be looking for a T-Mobile branded HD2... does this matter?
Sorry for all the noob questions.
replacing winmo will be possible in near future by a nand rom. i guess noone knows by now what will work better with a nand rom. most people think that battery life time will increase dramatically, but i won't count on that...
for me, running android from sd-card has no disadvantages but as i said before, we have to wait for nand roms.
with new kernels like S1 or S2 from mdeejay battery life is great (for me). it lasts minimum 24 hours on normal usage.
as far as i know there is just one big and some small issues with android on hd2:
big one: data disconnects with ppp. this is nearly fixed for me with S1 kernel, but approx. once a day i still get data lost...
small one(s): very few touchscreen freezes (escpecially when trying to answer a call).
just now i can't remember other issues, but since about 2 months winmo is just used for booting android on my hd2.
my conclusion: android is a very well daily driver

Thank you for the info.
What does "data disconnects with ppp" mean? and if this happens, what do I do to resolve it? Throw into airplane and out of airplane mode?
you're welcome. as far as i know there are two internet protocols:
rmnet and ppp. because of low speed, rmnet seems to be vanished in nearly all builds. the good thing about it was stability! ppp has the opposite properties: very fast but till now a bit unstable.
data disconnects means that it's not down- or uploading any data while connection seems to be established regular. as you guessed right, you can handle it with airplane mode or by disconnecting and reconnecting internet connection. there is also a (semi)fix for that, which will reconnect for you automatically. but i'm pretty sure that this data loss problem will be gone in the near future (devs are still working on it).
p.s: sorry for my poor english, i hope you understand everything.
As for me it is very usable on a daily basis. I didn't think it was possible until I started flashing Android. Everything is great except for what fruchtfliege was saying. But even then, I have never gone back to Winmo.
fruchtfliege: is your LED notification light working properly? Mine only lights up once and that's it.
compared to that old 32a, the hd2 is an absolute monster!
theres an ocational minor glitch, but nothing like things were on ported roms on a dream/saphire....
its smooth sailing...

sorry a bit out of topic: can i install mdeejay kernel to my mccm build? and where can i find it? thanks.
I'm using the MDeeJay evo 2.3 build and i haven't found anything not working at all. The battery last longer than it did on winMO. Been using this build constantly for about a month now, apart from the odd reboot I've had nothing but fun and games
I would personnaly recommend this build also.

no ppp disconnects?
Thanks for all the replies, this has been real helpful in my decision and will probably grab a HD2 when/if a WP7 rom comes out just to have the best of both worlds in my pocket.
One last question, I see the MDeeJay evo 2.3 build mentioned here, but I'n not a fan of sense. Is there a CyanogenMod port that's really stable?

you're right. this seems to be another small bug. mine's not working properly, too. doesn't matter much for me, because i never used the led lights as indicator for calls.

i'm not sure which build mccm is, but if it's from mdeejay it SHOULD work (as posted in his kernel thread)
The LED notification light 'usually' works fine for me. Under 30% battery and it stays lit though
Only thing that doesn't really work is the camera on HD builds.
So far I've been disconnect free since I changed to S3 kernel from Mdeej - however I also disabled the stock tab and uninstalled my taskkiller which might've helped.

Which build are you using? You mean it works for missed calls and sms?
Hey guys.. I've been running DarkStone for a while now, it ran perfect in most ways. Other than Very frequent Data Dropouts and some screen freezing occasionally. Other than that. it was perfect.
Would I be able to run DarkStone's Latest, and update the kernel to Hastarin's 8.5.1 oldcam or whatever? cuz from what I understand Hastarin's latest kernel has fixed data dropout's as well as screen freezing issues.
I'm now running BiffMod 1.3.1 and it's stock 2.2.1 with CM6.1 RC2 added to it. It would be ABSOLUTELY perfect for what I want, but I'm having the robot voice, and some sound issues like music doesn't sound right. And I can't dial any numbers. the thing freezes... I don't know a lot about Android on the HD2, and how to change all the kernels and all that.
Basically I want a Non Sense Build with some CM6 included and have it run stable.. Thats what I'm looking for. DarkStone was almost perfect.
Have you tried HD2ONE? Honestly I've tried several CM6 builds and they generally are very stable. Your issue might be deeper than the builds, I have heard people have lots of problems with class 10 cards.
I'm using phiredrops Cm6 build with the 8.5.1 old can kernel... I have no issues.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
is there any release that have fixed the screen freezes. thats the only thing that bothers me much... at times when there is a call, the screen does not lighten up and u seem there isnt any call if mobile is on mute
Yes guys...
I got DarkStone and put Hastarin's 8.5.1 oldcam, and his newest HaRet that all come in his kernel download into the Darkstone.. so far BUTTER smooth
This might just be what I needed. It's sound is great, not a single screen freeze or data dropout since last night.. This is perfect! oh and I'm using the stock 16GB class 2 that came with the HD2. but I do have a Wintec 16GB class 10 coming tomorrow I'll replace it with
phone double posted. sorry
I'm praying for someone who can solve my problem.
I LOVE my n1 but I dont hear it when Im outside home.
I surfed tens of forums searching for the solution and there is no dsp manager or lvh that has been able to solve the problem.
can someone help please?
p.s. i heard that maybe cyanogenmodded rom on gingerbr could solve the problem but i heard also that it uses dsp manager which wasnt working on my n1
Are you using a custom rom?
Most custom roms have an audio boost over stock. And maybe that DSP Manager would only work if the ROM supported it, so that could be why nothing has worked sof ar if you are on stock.
I think you're looking for the vibrate option
the audio boost is present in most custom ROMs such as cyanogen. so you really should have no problem if you use that. i know my volume has increased very well using cyanogen so i dont have any complaints anymore.
i do remember in cyan 5.0.8 that the audio hack was TOO loud and people complained, so the dev's reduced it to somewhere in the middle. perhaps you can go try that old ROM and see if that helps just as a test. if so maybe you could edit your kernel to match that old hack? might be a lot of work though...
i'm using one of the gingerbr roms from this forum
so you'r suggesting me to wait for the cyano's gingerbr?
p.s. today i bought an ideos for my old father ((( its LOUDER AND LOUDER than my n1 (((((
Unfortunately, you will have to live with crappy HTC speakers I am afraid. Rom's don't have a significant difference - I mean it will still sound crap :/, I don't know why HTC keep doing this.

dont say me so! please! i heard about people who solved and had to REDUCE volumes beacause the loudnes made the speaker clip instead!
i wanna clip my speakeeerrrrr!
Try enomthers Official ROM with the AudioMod kernel. I now run my incall volume at 50% where on the stock ROM I had it maxed all the time. The speaker phone is actually useful now as well. Besides this excellent perk its also a very fast and stable ROM with lots of features that I've found I can't do without. I ran a Gingerbread ROM for a week and was so happy when I switched back.

do you know if it's possible to flash only the audio hack? i'm just running stock cyanogen 6.1.1 and i would like to play around with the audio hack. can i flash it somehow, or does it have to be built into the ROM? and also, i have a build environment set up, so could i just play around with the kernel code for the hack, and compile my own kernel for testing it out?
Can anyone suggest any 'good' solution? kernel or otherwise to fix this $#@$# 'bug' of low in-call volume in Nexus One??
Would really appreciate all the help!

That's my problem from the beginning. Speaker is crap and there is nothing you can do. Tried different ROMs and nothing changed it.
Hello guys. I wanted to find out how to increase my skill lvl. Like I have quests tht require me to extract items like fruits, objects but when I try to extract, it says my skill lvl is too low. What can I do to increase? Plz help.
hi guys..
got a bit of a question.
ive read through many of the related posts but havent quite found the right answer to my question.
i have a tmobile hd2 with the latest official winmob rom, and have been trying out various android roms booting from sd.
well, heres the thing... there seems to be a two distinct types of roms in how it works after booting (several times to settle things down).
some lag and some simply dont.
for eg, rafdroid and mcmjoon desire hds have a distinct lag. it intermittently freezes.
on the other hand, core cell build, gingerbread builds and froyo superram builds have no lag/intermittently freezes.
its not an overall slowdown of the operating system, its intermittent short freezes.
i like some of the stable established builds but so far im resigned to only use those that dont lag as i cant figure out whats different that some lag and some dont.
am currently using darkstones superram froyo thats really very nice. i just wanted something with more eye candy and had sense cooked into.
anf btw.. what exactly is the security flaw thats a problem with darkstones superram?
thanking ya'll in advance for any and all replies.
regards,
asmd.
Sense uses alot or takes up a sizeable chunk of ram and storage so you can expect that sense makes roms bigger which therefore should in turn make them slower. So in all you won't find a sense build that is as smooth and fast as non sense builds. It's like a computer, the more stuff on your computer, the slower it runs.
Try the superam sense from darkstone, very fast with sense.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
thanks for the replies guys.
appreciate it.
am using superram froyo and so far its the bees knees!
im not talking about the general slowness of any build. that i know. some builds are faster than other but im talking about intermittent freezes. everything just stops for a moment and then continues. even typing on the on screen keyboard.
the most obvious that ive recently noted was between rafdroid and corecell for example. corecell ui is uniform, its not as fast as gingerbread or darkstones build but there are no freezes. rafdroid (and others) also have a a similar speed but inter spaced with intermittent freezes.
i formateed the sd card before trying any new build and only used the same card for all of them. so im wondering if im doing something worng or could it be something to do with radio versions... i'll admit that im a noob and it took mee weeks of reading before i had the balls to even an sd build of android. so this may be something of a simple question.
im using a stock standard hd with the the newest firmware updates.
regards,
asmd.
