Need some help with an Andoird build for my dad.

Hi
First off all I want to say: I can probably find everything here in the forum but I'll spend hours and hours reading and most off the time I'll read useless info that I don't need so if you have the knowledge and it just takes 5 minutes to share it please help me out I'll be thankful.
I myself have a HTC legend and have read LOTS off posts before finally rooting and flashing custom roms. Now my dad has asked me if I could help him to get android on his HD2.
He needs to be able to sync his agenda with outlook (for work (Calendar and contacts) I read something about HTC sync should be working on newer kernels is it included in some builds then?), and have a stable build (its not a ROM if I'm correct?) one that he could use for daily use. Don't need anything too special (not even root but its not a problem if it does have root access)
So I've started reading around in the development section and from what I read I don't need to root or flash anything, just extract a zip to the SD and name it Android. Is that correct? (then why do you have special android roms?)
So is there someone who can link me to a good stable (no OC kernels and stuff please) Android Build and tell me if there are known bugs with HD2 builds that don't get mentioned in those threats because they are known as general knowledge.
Thanks in advance
If I could ever help you back with HTC legend problem or something I'll gladly do it for you.

Jonas (sorry for the pour English it's not my main language)
I'm reading topics and If I find answers I'll update this but please if you have the knowledge to help me in a few minutes PLEASE do so.

Never mind found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782930
and solved most of my questions looks like its not as fully operating as I thought :s.
So It's not just as easy as unzipping and renaming that would have been too easy.

It isn't very complicated to run android on the HD2. I don't know what feature you suspect isn't working that scared you from attempting. Every feature I could want is working. You also don't need to sacrifice windows mobile if you try android. Give it a shot and post again if you have trouble.

Problem is that I need to root and flash other wm Rom if I want everything to work as it should. Or isn't that really necessary? I'll just try a build and see what it does. Thx for th reply

if you have to hspl your hd2 depends on your stock radio rom version. it should be a newer one like 2.10 or 2.12 to avoid most issues with android. flashing another winmo rom is only necessary if you have robot voice and/or faster playback of music (just to mention 2 problems)... you don't have anything to loose if you try android from stock hd2. if it's not working fine, you may think of flashing a new radio and/or rom!

So if I unzip the file I can dowload here put it into android folder in the root of my SD, I'm good to go? What about that kernel do I need to flash it??

if he uses it for work then i'd suggest laying off android for now

he could still use the WM? It's just like a program no? So by just removing the folder it would be back to normal?

You basically reboot the phone and it goes back to wmo. Its almost like running a live linux cd...

When you run HaRet Android takes over the phone. When you reboot it will come back to WinMo. Then you run HaRet again and you back in Android. And so on. WinMo 'lives' on the phone, Android on sd.

So the kernel they are talking about is a fake kernel? (not flashed to the actual ROM)
So if anything goes wrong at first boot with the android I can just pull out the battery without bricking the phone?

Its not a fake kernel...it is real but it resides on the sd card so your original wmo stuff will still be there in case you ever need to use wmo again.

You s should start your own thread. There are many different unlock so specify which one you're after, sim unlock? This section is only for android so if you need help on something else, post it in the hd2 general section, not here. Unless it is android related, you won't find help here.

Ok so if I install this:

I can just remove the file on the SD when it doesn't work like we want it too and everything will be back to normal right?

You are correct.
If it doesnt work for you just erase the android folder. I would recommend flashing hard spl, and changing your radio to 2.12.50.02_2. Then load the hyperdroid 1.6 rom. You will have the best luck with that probably without having to change anything in winmo.

I'd recommend using a spare SD card. When you run Android it creates a ton of folders on it, so it's easier to have a dedicated one than to try and delete everything later (if he decides not to stick with Android).
Also, I read through the thread and couldn't see anywhere... did you tell us what radio is on the HD2? It needs to be (I believe) 2.08 or higher, and it's VERY recommended to have a 2.x.50 and not a 2.x.51 radio.

If you flash a 2.x.51 radio on a t-mobile US HD2 you will brick it. Try flashing radio 2.12.50.02_2

Yeah dno the radio version or the bootloader version.
Do i need root to see that?? Is it just booting while pressing volume down to get the bootloader and the info I need?
Also I read that the HyperDroidV1.6 is overclocked and undervolted and I drather not do that. Just want it as stable as can be. (I know my overclocked legend is stable but if he has a really crappy processor,..)
BTW: I know what overclocking does but what's good about undervolting?? better batterylife?
I think I'll just give this a try this weekend (when my dad (and his phone xD)are home)

Just reboot the phone. The radio version is shown at the bottom left of the first white HTC screen (R,G,D - R is the radio version).

I'm assuming undervolting is for better battery life, but have never bothered with it myself. Just have a read of the most popular Android builds to see which you think will work for you. I can recommend FroyoStone Sense v3.1, but I would because that's what I use!
It's so easy to try the different builds that it's no big deal if you play with one and don't like it, so don't be shy - give em all a go if that's what it takes!
Edit: Just noticed your edit from when I was posting. lol

or to update it to wp 7

Or you can do dualboot wp7 and android like I'm doing. Hopefully soon we will be able to triboot all 3.
It depends on what you want. They are all great OS's. But to run either android or wp7 on your HD2 it will take a lot of reading to learn how to do it and set them up good, because they are ports, so they won't necessarily work great right away. You'll want to set them up good so they don't drain your battery too quick and work around any little issues that may pop up. You should do some reading about both those os's and about how to boot them on your phone, then decide what you want to do. If you're not very experienced with your phone, you should probably just start out with flashing a custom rom and go from there. A step at a time until you're comfortable enough to install magldr and flash android or wp7. You can try them all out and see what you like best. All the info you need is in these forums.

I recommend you try them out.

I would recommend you to try out an android rom, becuase what can you can do on wp7 is really limited, and I think that wp7 is boring (my opinion). If you need help with installing or something feel free to ask

not sure how far along you are with your G1.. i assume its rooted haha but the best sense rom i've used to date would have to be zachattack052 & xillius200's 2.1&1.5HERO: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670414
but with this rom you need to have the latest radio and hboot: 2.22.28.25, 1.33.0013d. this rom has most of the latest features and all those sense widgets we all love so much. If anyone knows of a better rom i would love to try it but as of now thats the best i know of. also if you need help flashing it DO ask questions before trying something you are unsure of.. because there's always that possibility of bricking your beloved G1. and we dont want that now do we..? haha feel free to ask me anything you need..

it should be 2.1 if im not mistaken... my friend just got the 4g evo and this rom can almost do everything that phone does... almost.. lol it's just the G1 is older and slower so you must be careful on how many widgets you use and jus keep an eye out for your basic memory drains.. i reccomend apps2sd

haha yeah i tried that one too and the animations for the clock widget are messed up lol in all honesty the G1 is gonna run hard with all the goodies your looking for so you might have to give up some of those features for it to run smooth... other than that i would use the zx2.1 possibly the best i used so far that has all the eye candy... but i recomend the one i posted earlier bcuz it will run a lil smoother without all the newer stuff like market and photo apk. jus my opinion..

HTC HD2 - Rom Choice

Hi,
I want to change to Android from Windows Mobile 6.5.
I have seen hundreds if not millions of ROMS.
I am looking for a ROM that is reliable, battery efficient and looks good.
I did find these two Roms on xda I liked:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010498
Can anyone tell me what they recommend? And also, is quicker from Nand or SD card?
Many thanks

I can recommend this rom. I use it myself for months. It is fast and stable and has a good battery life. You should go for the nand version using magldr. But do not forget that you will not be able to charge your phone when it is off.
Sent from my HD2

The best advice I can give you is to just go ahead and install an Android ROM to get the wheel rolling. Once your first ROM is flashed it is very easy to switch/update ROMs in no time at all, and you will inevitably be doing this.
The one you linked to is a perfect one to use to switch to Android. MIUI ROMs do look very good and are themeable so there's many options available if you don't like the stock look.
Personally, I use JW MIUI and have had very good battery life.
NAND is much better with regards to performance and battery life.
Good luck and make sure to read and follow the guides closely.

Thanks for the reply guys.
I have already flashed for the first time and changed to a ROM. But I didn't like it so I went back to Win Mo 6.5.
If I have already flashed, how would I change to this ROM?

Stupid Question....
Sorry guys, maybe stupid question.
I read a lot, there must be a install.exe or DAF.exe in the download, is'nt it?
I flashed my HD2 some month ago with "gpc_hd2_gingerbread_v18", there was a DAF exe in!
In the current downloads is no on? For example in "HD2_NDT_GINGER_CM7_BASED_V15.0_MAGLDR.zip"
Thx Minge

new roms dont use daf method. instead you make a proper nand partition(as said in OP's of roms) , then you put rom.zip to sd card, then you flash it using ad recovery in mgldr menu.

If your previous Android flash was using the DAF.exe method the process this time round will be a little different.
Regardless, if you currently have WinMo on you are going to have to flash MAGLDR (Boot loader) and then CWM (Clockwork Mod Recovery). From CWM you are able to flash new Android ROMs as well as backup, restore and many other usefull things.
You should be able to find guides here on XDA on how to do all of the above to your HD2.

It has these files. What's difference between MAGLDR and cLK?

The Clk version is for use with a different bootloader called CLK.
The MAGLDR version is for use with Magldr/CWM combination discussed earlier.
I have always used MAGLDR/CWM so I can't comment on the use of CLK.

[Q]Noob needs help choosing

Hi guys,
I know I'm being lazy and people like me are annoying
I saw the development section and its crazy :O
Anyways I'm active on the galaxy S forums and know my way around flashing that phone but now my friend want me to put Android on his HD2.
Its still on Windows mobile, nothing modified. European/Dutch version.
So many roms here, maybe someone can give a tip.
-Easy to flash from windows mobile (im a galaxy s flasher)
-Most stable Gingerbread build, doesnt have to be the latest version
-Everything working, fast and no bugs. (dont want him to come back complaining)
-No cyanogenmod
-No preinstalled apps etc. Basic apps are fine but not stuff like Titaniumbackup etc
No need for extra stuff like huge amount of customization stuff or oc etc, its not my own phone and the guy just wants to use it for apps an normal browsing
Basically a clean stock install, maybe a little skin or launcher. Touchwiz launcher is great maybe something like that or maybe Sense, but most important its clean and simple.
Which rom is recommended?

Thanks Gonna try this then. Seeing as 2.0 version is around the corner and maybe it will bring clk so I'll wait for that

I flashed my HD2's with MIUI ROMs, one with iOS second with Honey......
Love both of them, everything works. And funny thing, iOS looks just like Iphone!!!
Kudos to the dev!!
Really easy to flash, I used Magldr and just followed instruction of the OP.
Do not forget to D/L HD2 toolkit, run Task29, install Magldr. Then you can go 2 ways. Either CWM.... that worked for me loading iOS or Magldr.

Sorry... for some reason cannot find the link to HD2 Toolkit. Maybe someone can post the link for you????
Good luck.
