I read the tread about dual rom app. I also read a tread about super rom switcher. Is there a way to make the dual rom app a 1 step process? Also, what is the difference between the two?

I want to install and play around with the Android ROMs that are available for HD2. I was wondering if there is a way I can make an image of my ROM as it is right now, and later on flash it back if I don't like the Android ROM on my HD2.
Save time and read the 1st and 2nd sticky posts on this page. Everything you need to know is all there. Also, I know rules are a b*tch, also explained there, make sure you follow them and avoid any incoming angry posts about not using the "search" function. To answer your question, Android runs off the memory card so windows is shut down prior to booting android, they're isolated for the most part. Hope that helps.

I know that Android runs off the SD card, but that was not my question. They recommend that a very light version of WM be installed prior to running Android and I can understand why. However, if I install the light version of WM I will loose whatever I currently have. That is why I am wondering if there a way I can create an image backup of my current ROM.
Are you running a stock rom? There's a sticky in the tmousa rom section with links to all the stock roms. It's easier to just grab a copy, you'll just need to back up your data.
Yes... I am runing a stock ROM. Any good backup apps to recomand that can backup my programs, settings and data?

I didn't change my WM ROM, it's shut down by haret. So unless you're having specific problems like that awful robovoice then you shouldn't worry about changing your rom. As for backup, I use SPB or Sprite backup, the latter my preference.

I use SPB...works the best IMO. I've actually had to use it a few times after changing the zimage...it seems to kill my sense every time I load a new zimage.
I get that bad robot voice, what to doo you recommend I switch to? I have a stock Rom right now with the latest radio.

I flashed my HD2 to the radio suggested but I still get that high pitched Robot Voice..Maybe a custom ROM is required?
So every 2.3 build I try I get standby battery drain. I tried cleandroid 2.2 but it has force close issues.
What's a daily use 2.2 non sense build
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Preferably cwm

I using lesjaws Jaws MIUI
I'm happy with it. Battery usage its about the same like on all non sense biulds on standby.
But I like how its look and all. Its simple, fast and more important its really stable.
I have not reboots or any weird things with it.
It definitely worth of try.
Has some complicated instructions... with current magdlr and cwm on a 1024 what's the easiest way to flash it?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
its just look a bit complicated but trust me its not.
U can check my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11060340&postcount=910
And than just download all necessary files from first post.
After u have all downloaded follow the 2nd post. If u have T-mob HD2 use this
settings for config.txt. Its from 2nd post
3. if you want to use nand as data, set config.txt as : (very usefull if you have t-Mob HD2)
data_img=0
data_size=1024
data_ext=0
sd_boost=0
nand_data=1
format_ext4=0
lcd_density=240
gps_zone=id
If u will need more help just post on lesjaws thread and someone definitely help u.

iam using t-mobile HD2 :
ROM version-2.13.531.1
radio-2.10.50.26
protocol ver-15.39.50.07U
and i want to install android on my phone. i have been reading quite a few threads everyday but the more i read i guess the more confuse i get.
some say that u should use HSPL.. some are against it... some say that we should flash android from SD card , some are again against it..
WHAT I NEED:-
1)i want to put android in my phone. preferably 2.2 froyo as i think that 2.3 mite be heavy for HD2.

NAND means is short for NAND. memory/ NAND chip. This is what is called the flash memory of the HD2. It is also where the Windows Mobile OS is. So if you flash a NAND Android ROM you will wipe Windows Mobile, also your HD2 will boot into Android when you turn your HD2 on. You have to have MAGLDR or cLK to do this though.
Installing to NAND is faster and more stable, since the SD card might not have the read/write speeds to supply the OS. What is more, running Android from SD is booting up WinMO first and Android second, which is obviously slower.
I have a DesireHD ROM on my HD2, I have tried gingerbread builds too but without Sense it sucks imo. Hardware is more than enough, SetCPU just rocks (overclocking).
There is a nice and comprehensive guide on how to install the stuff, first HardSPL, then flash a new radio, then install MAGLDR, then flash an Android build (preferably rooted, I have had problems with rooting since z4root does not work).

-Yes. It will wipe your Winmo completely
-Yes. If you flash NANDROID, then you will only have Android.
-Some NANDROID ROM works, some dont. It really depends on your handset conditions and the rom itself. You might experience that you cant flash certain Nandroid Rom while others can, vice versa. But dont worry, there are many roms you can try out and see it if it is suitable for your needs

hey..
thanks for the link... actually iam also using SD American Android at the moment...
it is working fine but it does crash now and then.. i usually have to shift applications to phone to make them work properly.. or else it crashes a lott...
so 1 final question...
do you advice to put NANDROID...?? i mean if American Android is working fine then should i go for nandroid or not..??
will it increase the performance and will the freezes decrease..??
im glad i switched to nandroid. it is a lot faster, stable and no freezes.
i have MT4G running gingerbread 2.3.4 and i install setcpu 2.0.4 but i really new with this and i dont know how to set up and i dont want to mess my phone ,sorry because probably is a stupid question but like i said im new with this! thanks!
Choose governor
Clock speeds you want
Set on boot
Apply
And that's all you should need, you can setup, profiles too.

That's also a very old version. Upgrade to the latest which is 2.2.4 at this point.
One thing to note, certain custom ROMs (like CyanogenMod 7) already have a way for you to adjust CPU settings. If your ROM has this already, use that instead of using SetCPU.
Just to make sure that we asked, is your phone rooted? And if so, what rom did you flash? Pretty safe bet if your unsure is to just run at 1k until you find out all info.
hello everybody ! I have a big problem ! my hd2 is running with WP7.5 mango & i need to switch it to Android ! ? any help plz ?
