i had installed a custom rom based on 6.5 on my hd2. its supposed to be a stripped down version of the stock rom, so its supposed to give longer battery and better performance. but its got terrible battery life, and camera and pictures look horrible. the stock rom gives batter cam and pics, and the battery is WAYYY better. can someone explain why this is so if this is supposed to be better than a stock rom?

First of all not mentioning which specific ROM doesn't help. Some are better than others. I also thought from other posts you were going WM7?
Just run Android. It turns the HD2 into a powerhouse.

hi, digiholic.. thanks for the reply. the rom i used was dutty's reference rom. i installed it and it looks good. but the camera and pictures look so dull that it looked horrible. and the batt life was a huge drain. but on a stock rom, the the batt life is better than the refernce rom. and the pics and cam are the best i've seen.. which is why i ask why is a customized rom worse than a stock rom?
and i installed 2 droid roms, gb 2.3 and cymod7, i think. and they suck. the call quality was staticy. the cam and camcorder were sluggish and dull looking, and the batt was horrible.
but i am wanting to install wp7.. as long as they are apps for what i need. for example, i'm l;ooking for a nyc subway app. i hope theres one for wp7.

I haven't had any of those problems with HyperdroidGBX. Only static I get in a call is from having the volume up too loud and that's not from the call. My cameras work fine and take good quality pics for a phone. Battery life is good... for Android.
I tend to go into all types of settings after a new install and tweak and optimize as much as possible so I might be getting better results.
I tried WM6.5 for half a day when I got the phone. Hated it so I rooted and ROM'd quickly. Can't attest to it's abilities. I am curious to test WM7 but Android does everything I need and more I don't know if I'll ever test it.

I had no idea you were the same dude who has been posting the various threads on porting iOS and running WP7 apps and now with why are custom ROMs bad.
It really sounds like you got the wrong phone.
Here's the deal:
All custom ROMs are different, just as all stock ROMs are different.
I personally hate the Stock WM6.5 ROM on the HD2, it is buggy, slower, and you can't really do much with it. Have a little fun if you are going to use WM6.5
Flash NRG or another custom ROM that really lets you have some fun with your device, maybe a CHT2 ROM that you can change all the UI elements and add widgets and other mods as well as some awesome themes and such.
Battery life depends on your radio, ROM, and settings, so anything could be the culprit there, you might try different radios.
I am not following you around and couldn't care less about where you go, you just happened to start 3 threads that I happened to to read and reply to the effect that you didn't even attempt to search or learn about the device before you posted, that was all.
I had no idea you started all 3 threads until I just read this response right now.
Either way, if you are actually serious about this thread, I would suggest you really try out some really good custom ROMs and be sure to flash task29 before switching ROMs because this will really eliminate latent NAND issues that could carry over to the next ROM.
My suggestion is the latest NRG 6.5.x sencity CHT2 ROM.
edit:
for Android try running American Android from SD, everything works perfect for me on the latest build.

Thanks you for your permission, I will ensure I do not cross you lest I suffer the consequences.
As far as flashing WP7, try one of the new NoDo ROMs and remember you can actually dual-boot the ROM I suggested from your SD card. So upon booting you can choose WP7 or Android depending on your needs that day.

because you cannot compare an operating system that has drivers specifically written for that device and compare it to a hacked ported operating system, you have not compared a stock rom to a custom rom, if you are going to compare them please use a winmo6.5 rom not android!

Yes, you call MS and say you're running WP7 and need an activation code. They will give it to you, you then enter it into your phone and Live Services work just fine.
All custom ROMs are pre-configured with the "hack" and other settings. You just need the activation code from MS. This is the same process someone who has to hard-reset an HD7 would have to go thru.
Dual-Boot is pretty easy, you just stick a ROM on your SD card and choose to boot that if you want, it actually is pretty simple.

First of all, sorry if this is a stupid question but I dont want to post the same in any topic.
I ask if anyone made or can make a WM6.1 ultra light version. I mean, the more recent OS version, but without any application like HTC Home, albuns, players, personal themes or else. Just the plain and simple Operative System, for anyone that want to install his prefered applications.
I'm not a cooker and try some ROM's, but the ones that work fast and stable, got too much programs that never used, and the ones really light, have too many bugs or are realy slow.
Thanks in advice....

Actually, I haven't compared them. As it is now, I use my phone heavily on a daily basis, so I cannot be down with problems. From what I read, there are still some problems with 3.4. I may be wrong, but I have not tested yet.
Don't get me wrong, I think FIniXNover is a GREAT chef, and have tried his ROMS in the past, but for now, will stick with these...

This is really for you to decide. JacHero can be fairly fast and it can be abysmally slow, just depends on your settings. If you have a large class 6 memory card partitioned with ext and a linux-swap partition it will dramatically improve performance. Don't expect it to run like a real Hero, it will be really slow if you have more than a few widgets. Also expect to see touchflo take a few seconds to load after exiting apps. If I was you I'd try it out, and if you don't like it flash to Cyan's.
CM roms are always good. smooth and speedy. hero roms are hit and miss. miss for the most part. with compache and swapiness settings you can get it run ok at best. ive gotten it to run some what smooth in certain areas and i usually see lag when entering an app then finally hitting home and itll just sit for a second. to some its operational but your best bet is CM at this point because you have a completely working phone. flash both and see how you like them. or try the jacski rom.
hows jacmytouch speed wise?
The ONLY good advice anyone can give you is try them all. It's all preference. I like fat chicks, you might not, so who am I to tell you fat chicks are better?.....

hmm....interesting question....at this point i would say both are on the same playing field. in some parts one is faster then the other. either will be up to par on speed. open two windows with the OP of each rom. compare the features and see which one suits ur usage. if its still a toss up, one tipping factor could be the theme. CM is cupcake and looks as so. jacski has a very nice theme already implemented. yes you could flash a theme for CM but for the most part, the themes available loses some functionality within the rom...
Thanks alot for the help, i just installed CM and its working great... I may try jacmyheroskiv2 but for now I am probably gonna stick with it for now!
I appreciate all the opinions!

Since you chose Cyanogen's ROM (my personal favorite) try CyanogenMod v. 3.9 if you didn't already and then install Dark Hero v. 3.9 for a sorta the best of both worlds thing.
Either way install CM's Recovery 1.3.1 so you can backup with nandroid and recover from the recovery menu.
Later if you don't like one build over another you can flash back.
So, down and to the point... what's the best ROM out there? I'm looking for performance and battery life (I know they're usually negatively correlated) but the best balance of both.
Thanks in advance...
obviously, it all depends on what you're looking for, but my money's with Fresh.

try them pick the one u like and use it SIMPLE
I've played with all of them and the best for battery life, signal and over all just awesome is DamageControl 3.2.2.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700649
I really like AOSP, so Bugless Beast has been nice. I don't really dislike the HTC homescreen or lockscreen, but I don't like the contacts, text messaging app, music app, browser, etc.
However bugless beast has some rough spots, there is an fc that shows up once in a while (not a problem, just annoying) and it doesn't show up as a usb drive on the computer all the time.
Fresh is probably my second favorite, and it isn't far behind even though it is almost straight Sense. I see a lot of people say it is their favorite. It seems like it may be the most robust and stable custom ROM as well, but I haven't tried all of them, only half a dozen or so.
I like Bugless Pete's...
but moved on to Fresh because I like Sense. Plus I like the fact I can use apps2sd.
This is a matter of opinion. You need to decide for yourself. I am using Culkulins ROM and really like it. In b4 this is moved to general / q&a
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Only tried Fresh and Damage Control so far but I like DC better, I could tell an immediate difference in performance, unlike with Fresh. Both have Apps2sd which is a must for me. Apparently this phone has more app storage than most other Android phones, yet not even close to enough for me. I couldn't even put any graphic intensive games like Asphalt on before apps2sd due to lack of room.
Damage Control works great for me as far as 2.1 roms. Just look at the activity for that thread.... most popular IMO and for good reason with all of the dconfig options and updates. They were one of the first to incorporate the OTA update into their rom... they stay on top of things.
So Frech has the HTC Sense? I'd like that.
Also, will installing these different ROMs wipe my data? If so, what backup utility you recommend?
I like the fresh rom, but i'm using DC atm because of the OTA update built into it, i need the grounding fix but when fresh fixes it i'll be moving back.

I use titanium backup for the app data backup/restore and android commander for the app program backup/restore.
Damage Control also has Sense, though you have the option to disable it.
In case it hasn't been said enough yet - DamageControl all the way. Awesome ROM!
I dont mean to be a d**k but you have to read and experiment on your own. There's no such thing as the "best" rom. Clearly all the devs here put a lot of work into their roms and the least you can do is try it and see which you like the most. Are you even rooted?? Your questions give the impressions that you don't even know the basics of rooting or installing your own roms...read the stickies
and yes both Fresh and DC have the Sense UI
I use a modified Damage Control myself
Added in the latest busybox, Bash 4.1, made some tweaks to dalvik-cache to make it use the cache partition instead of the system partition (seriously, the cache partition is ~160megs and barely gets touched normally ), among other things.
It is worth noting that Damage Control (in my opinion) is quite good itself and stays pretty up to date, with a lot of nice features.
DamageControl my fav so far.

I understand, but I figured that by seeing what the recommendations are, I'd be able to exclude some unmentioned ROMs. Makes sense...
I am not rooted at the moment, but I am familiar with it (developed for my HTC Dash years ago). I haven't had much time at all to dive into rooting until nw. Unfortunately, the OTA update was run on this device so now I'm at the mercy of the devs around here to discover a workaround.
Damage rom for the battery life. Seriously guys , if anyone and I mean anyone is *****ing and moaning about battery life , then they haven't tried DC's rom yet. And if Damage ain't on then trevE will answer.
I find a close second in polish and likability is Fresh's rom. Great rom . And I've run that one too.
I also ran Finisher by magnus.
And the froyo by avalaunch. Which is great but I need my camara and I hate having to flash to get it and then flash back.
I've also flashed Hero's over rom. But i didn't like the guys attitude in a couple of posts so I took it off.

+1st bates, well put.
I can't really comprehend the importance of the question about battery life, as it is on ALL builds ok-ish... depending on the different usage habits.
Just to enlightened the OP... my Tytung 2.1 Gingerbread Nand can go for two days or even more... if I leave it untouched
But it is probably flat in like 4 or 5 hours playing nonstop Angry Birds... never tried either option... but you get the gist!

I would like to know answer to the same question. And I know there are MANY people who tried MANY ROMS. Each person's usage pattern may be different. But same person IMHO uses HD2 same way with different ROMs. Which means if you ALREADY tried 10 ROMS and found out that ROM "XYZ" is best for battery.

Cmon man, i made a question about the people opinion and my first aswer is someone talking things like "dont be dumm and try".

If you dont want to opinate, is simples, ignore this topic.
I do not want to offend anyone, I admire everyone here and help whenever possible.
Sorry if I misunderstood.
Cyanogen Roms have the worst battery life, everything else is equal.
That's about as much as I can sum it up. Every Desire/Sense rom is going to have the same, every Cyanogen is going to have the same.
You choose whether you want CM or Sense, then you choose which one looks the nicest to you and has the features you want.
Edit: My favorite build so far (battery life is fine also) is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915159 CMYLXGO's Stock Desire HD/Z Hybrid v2.0.4

Too many variables;
Kernel
Apps
Sync Settings
Wireless Settings
Trial and error is the best way as you can be recommended one rom, try it and find your opinion is the complete opposite to what you were given

I agree, also the Radio is a variable.
For me the best NAND build is MDJ Cyanogenmod with 2.12.50 radio, but now im testing with 2.15.50, and it seems that 2.12.50 is better.
I just flashed my first android nand last night. newest CM7 with 2.15 radio. 12 hours off charger and at 58%. had this been yesterday with android on sd, my phone would have died already.

Cyanogen Roms have the worst battery life, everything else is equal.

It's not a drastic difference (unless you use Bluetooth) but CMs (Cyanogen Mods) do use more battery IMO, they seem to burst more in Standby, Wifi seems to be less battery-friendly and Bluetooth is a joke on most.
Sense IMO is the way to go, I love the look/feel and it seems pretty well ironed out.
Also, if you use LED Me Know, uninstall it or turn off Compatibility Mode (HD2 can only use Green and Amber (Orange) so make sure you use those two colors if you do keep it; just keep in mind your LED won't pulse any more.
The pulsing LED gives me a 60mA drain constantly if I have an Unread notification and my LED is going, it wasn't like this on SD from what I remember, must be a NAND issue.
Solid LED > No LED though.
hey guys just got my hd2 today so im new to all this got everything loaded and ready to go bout to put cm9 on it...is gapps included in all roms or do we still have to flash gapps with custom roms
Depends on the rom. Read the OP and you can find out if gapps are included or not..

For starters, I would suggest a CM or an AOSP rom:
For CM9: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1361859
For AOSP ICS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860
Then if you get bored of them, try out the variety of sense roms

have you tried any of the jellybean roms out yet
JB ROMs aren't fully working yet and not really good for daily use. All of the ICS ROMs are good, but I'd recommend changing the launcher to GO Launcher as the ICS launchers can have poor frame rates if you have many widgets on your home screen. And as for you saying that this phone is harder to flash, I'd say it's unique, but far easier and more risk free than flashing other devices once you know what to do
Sent from my NexusHD2
I agree with you on l it me 10 mins to figure out how to install clockwork and everything n get a custom rom up and going
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium
I can also recommend Apex launcher (On ICS and JB) if you like the stock look of the ICS/JB/Trechubet launcher. It's much smoother and has many more options.

Surprisingly, I have better battery life in Android than in WP7. I think you should flash another radio if you are getting bad battery life as that is what caused bad battery life on my HD2.
WP7 is much more fluid than Android, and everything works, including 720p recording.
