I personally feel that it's a good practice to to a task29 prior to flashing a new rom on the phone. Task 29 erases everything on the nand, including magldr. That's why you have to reinstall magldr after doing a task29.
As to which rom to use, that depends on you & on your phone. Do you prefer Sense or not? Do you want everything to work, or are you okay with some minor issues to get the latest and greatest? Do you need any special language capability built into the rom? Do you have a LEO512 or a LEO1024?
I personally prefer the DesireHD rom. The rom I'm using won't fit on the LEO512.
There is no need to perform a Task29 before reflashing. It does no harm though.
I agree with dipaolnv, it is a matter of choice. But, he is slighly mistaken, I have a LEO512 and am using a totally stock DesireHD ROM. That is where ext partitions come in to play
There is lots of information here to get to grips with, take your time and have some fun

Yes, there are a few roms that have the ext partition on the SD card to allow you to have a "stock" DesireHD on a LEO512... I was thinking that but never typed it . Thanks for mentioning.
Personally I'd say it's not a good idea to do task29's when you don't have to. Your NAND chips have a certain amount of read/writes i their usable lifetime. It's a very high number, granted, but there is a limit.
i prefer to have sense and that everything work i'have tried cyanogen gingerbread but i love making 720p videos and so i'm returned to mdj froyo version
anyway thank i understand some thing ... another question i didn't understand too much about the ext partition there a guide but it doesn't explain why i have to do it . if you can help me also on this point
and what about wp7?
Now i have got 2 htc hd2 in my hand. the mine is brended my friend's one is no brend .... why with the same android built his hd2 is faster to wake up and ecc ? Is a problem of brand ? How can i fix it ?
Hello all.
I am using DL_DesireZ v3.x at the moment, whis is Froyo with Sense 2.0.
According to the instructions I've partitioned my SD card to 3 partitions, one 6.5GB FAT32, one 1GB ext4 and another 512M ext4.
So far, this has been the stablest and fastest non-nand ROM for me (I can't get rid of WM because I need to use iGO and Garmin from it) but I'd like to get some of the updates and functionalities that came with Gingerbread, and since I do like Sense, I want it as well.
So, can somebody tell me is there any GB+Sense3 build for HD2 that is SD based and which can use ext3/4 partitions for data2sd or whatever it is called exactly?
Thanks.

Weeel, that was a revelation of sorts...
Anyhow, after checking all of those builds, two things are clear:
- most of them are not for SD
- Sense 3 builds are far from stable & working
What do I mean?
It seems than NAND frenzy has taken strongly among HD2 owners for whatever reason they want to get rid of WM6.5, so most of the builds are stated as NAND.
There are some that are marked as ROM-ZIP...what are those?
On the other hand, I know that there are roms that are to be used with MAGLDR and some (if not all) can be used as a normal SD build, with haret, data.img and so on.
One example is the one I'm using right now, DL Desire, which comes as a NAND version and as a SD/MAGLDR version.
So how can I tell if a certain MAGLDR rom is usable as a SD build as well? Is it possible at all, as a general rule, if an author of a build does not explicitelly state so?
The second thing is more problematic, and is obviously kernel and hardware related.
Sense3 builds have graphic/camera problems (mutually) and also problems with some widgets (weather), boot menu, lock screen etc.
I've tried MccMBoxmaX GS V5.0 and was really surprised to see it work pretty good and fast (albeit with no apps installed) disregarding mentioned problems with graphics etc.
Since there is no build yet that has all the things fixed, I believe I should try an older ones with the latest Sense version before Sense3.
But which one is it? 2.1? And do they come in combination with Gingerbread as a base and what builds have that combination, also for SD and possibly using ext2/3/4 partitions?
I hope I'm not boring, but I've tried a bunch of different roms for SD with and without partitions support and now they are getting more and more rare and the whole "list of builds" has become so long and confusing that I just don't know which ones support what and which ones are for what...
Hi,
What you will have noticed,is that sd is not that well supported.
If you need to keep WM,then you are going to struggle to find very much.
Have you tried the American droid for sd?
A lot of people rave about it...
Try This rom
but it need ext on sd
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038694
It's fast and stable till now for me
have you looked in the sd development section?
Hah!
It came out of the blue....just a few days ago I downloaded V5 where I saw all those mentioned Sense3 problems and there's V6 already...
Gotta get it today...
Oh yes, BTW I'm following SD devel thread constantly so I know what's going on there...and I still need helping info...

Oh yes, I forgot, I'm talking about MccM BoxMax V6 that Dr.Hisham mentioned...
Working pretty well, although some problems have been discovered like BT not working, graphics glitches etc...although, it is pretty snappy even though it is Sense3 (2.1 actually).
But, it seems it will take some time to fix everything and so I'm opting for the following: SD build with ext partitions for data2sd, with Gingerbread and last version of Sense before 2.1 (2.0.x?) - anybody knows anything about those?
Guys, anybody with anything?
SDcard Gingerbread builds with pre-2.1/3 Sense for HD2?
Hey guys,
I know that there are some threads about this topic are floating around here but I could find a thread described with a class 10 card - what is faster? installing Android on NAND or install on SD (Class 10?)
Thaanks

nand will always be faster than sd method, regardless of card speed class
The fastest is neither..ram build is the fastest
Sent from my HD2 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
A RAM Build? Oo ;D
NAND is faster, besides SD Builds have lots of bugs
regards
Thanks Will continue to use my NAND Build

an sd build thatloads on and runs from ram..like the darkstone ram build or mdj gingerbread ram build
aah thanks for clarification But I think WM is required, right? Nope Ill stay with my good SD Build

Required for what?
If you delete WM , install a brand new Android Version (2.3.5 maybe with HTC Sense) you dunno need Wm anymore.
The fastest way is a NAND Rom with Apps on SD (on a fast one, like your class10 sd card).

I wanted to know how slow is sd compared to nand??
The sd versions are more stable and less bugs... But will they be ridiculously slower than nand versions???

No bugs with 2.3 aosp nand roms. Nand is a lot faster than sd version + it's very stable. Try it yourself

There are a lot on nand that are stable like sd..
The differences are where the new system is installed: on nand it is fast because the nand (a memory like ram) is insert into the board of the phone and has bus and cable directly connected to the cpu.. But, maybe, it can be less stable because it isn't so easy alter the nand.
Create a system for an sd is easyer than nand because is an external device and, for this, maybe slow..
I cannot give you more details on speed.. It's like the speed of copy between two sata hard disk vs usb between disk..
Did i make myself clear?

Hmm, not significantly slower but it will have much worse battery life. I've used ACA on SD (when I used Winmo) and Typhoon on NAND now and NAND is definitely faster but I wouldn't say significantly so.

Yes, this is also my result. First i tried Boxmax on SD. It was stable but slow. So i decided to go to Energy NAND with the same Android+Sense Version like Boxmax. The NAND Version is faster so i have fun with it.

Have you even tried looking in the NAND Development forum? There are tonnes of those to choose from. Read the sticky at the top by yz.hd for a good list of almost all of them.

dude, i am looking for a Sence nand rom (since I use HTCsync) that will install on the phone's internal memory only without the need to partition and use my external SDCARD (of the HD2 EU version).
AFAIK, I couldn't find any ROM beside the one that I posted its link in my previous post that can be installed on the phone's internal memory only !
Any help is highly appreciated !

Literally a few seconds on the NAND Development page and I found this. The OP clearly states that A2SD is an extra addon, and post 4 confirms this. Should be fine for you

I feel embarrassed to ask you more mate BUT the fact is that Android 2.2.x never work fine with 7 digits numbers caller ID 0x xxx xxx... I need something like 2.3.x with Sence (to use it with HTCsync as well)

Not sure if any of those don't use SD EXTs for EU models, but if so it will be a 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1 ROM. I'm reasonably sure that Sense 3.0 + is far too big to fit only on NAND storage. Also, the whole point of the Q&A is to ask questions and get answers So there isn't any need to be embarassed unless you haven't searched yet
You can try Team Blue Droid by Dansta, it is GB with Sense 3.5. All you need to do is flash it, as long as you do not have an sd-ext then it will automatically flash as a Tmous HD2 and install the rom on internal memory.

Nand only sense 3.5 on a EU hd2 without sd-ext? are you sure that thing even exist?
Even if it does, I doubt you'll be able to install more than just a couple of apps.
Use YZ sticky compilation to find sense 3.5 roms, and start narrowing them down.
