I want to flash my HD2 with android NAND rom, I'm not looking for someone to show me how to do it, I have found the instructions on the forum.
What I want to know is which is the best rom at the moment which is stable and has good battery life for daily use, on winmo I can get about 3-4 days on standby. At the moment I am running Andorid from SD, having looked around there is lots of roms which don't have much to differentiate between each of them.
So could anyone help by telling me which rom is the best and if there is any known problems with NAND installation of andorid, I would prefer one with HTC sense.
Thanks
One of the most stable NAND Roms for HD2 is TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly that you can download it from here and does not have HTC Sense. IS very stable, Battery last for many days in iddle and has good battery life for daily use :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
I have tested this Rom many times and is very reliable, and it has 200MB free ram when you turn on the phone (It needs 45-60 sec to boot!--> crazy fast). It has an overclockable kernel, that means you can overclock or underclock the frequency of CPU in times when you playing or you want to extend battery life. Thus is one of the most updated roms in XDA-HD2 Forums (Gingerbread 2.3.4)
Roms with HTC Sense they don't allow HD2 battery last for long period as much as the roms without HTC Sense. The most reliable roms has Android Froyo, Gingerbread version with the latest HTC Sense which is smooth and fast has many bugs such as Camcorder, Graphic Glitches and the power menu works only once. Otherwise if you don't care about the version of Android the most stable roms with HTC Sense is imilka's Roms (Personal Opinion):
imilka's RAM Desire HD v2.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954369&highlight=imilka
imilka's Incredible Sense v1.1

You decide which rom fits to your needs.
But come on! Test and test and test roms in order to find the most appropriate for you!
Happy Flashing!
had positive experience with roms from boyppc...
The best Sense ROM for battery life imo is Skinks Clean Desire (it uses Sense 1.0 instead of 2.0 so that nay be why), the best ALSO is definitely Typhoon CyanogenMod.

thank you all very much, I think i'll leave the sense and try typhoon cyanogenmod 7.
Installed typhoon 7 all working perfectly fine so far, thanks again guys.

So I desperately miss Hyperdroid and Shubcraft for their Sense and Cyanogen builds but I need more stable builds with newer updates on stability, battery drain, wi-fi, LED, GPS, etc. What builds do you find to be the most complete to date and which kernels and tweaks are you all using?
I'm not looking for perfection or a lot of detail, I just don't have a lot of time to test all of the different builds lately with my schedule and was hoping for some suggestions. For now it looks like HD2ONE for Cyanogen based and MDJ for Sense based seem to be the most complete but I keep running into little snags here or there.
Anyone have any recommendations? I know they are all great and I love working with all the different builds. Just wondering what seems to be the magic combination of build + kernel + tweaks (if any) that you have found. I'll figure out the rest.
Thank you for any input you can provide.
So here's what I'm thinking would work for me
Non-Sense
NexusHD2-FRG83D V1.7 PPP with Hastarin 8.5.1
Sense
MDJ Froyo HD 4.3 with included MDJ S7.5HD
Cyanogen Based
HD2ONE 0.3.3 PPP with Hastarin 8.5.1
Guess these 3 seem to be the best for what I'm looking for. I am not sure what the best kernels are for each but I'll keep messing with them. Anyone have any suggestions on what I may experience that I should know about or why I should use the oldcam vs regular, which ones really need to be OC'd or whatever?
Thanks and sorry for being so vague. I wish I had more time to mess with this and I just got spoiled with Hyperdroid and Shubcraft till they fled the scene to go work on improving their minds and making a difference in this world with their talents instead of working on Android builds all day. How selfish! /s
Non Sense: JDMS 1.6
Fastest build i've ever used and stable too, just try not to customize it much. :3
Sense: Mdeejay froyoHD 4.3
Well it's not the best, i'd prefer his revolution build over it cuz it's faster, but since mdeejay hasn't updated that build in a month and seems more focused on his hd build, the froyoHD will get better over time
Cyan: HyperDroid
It's the best cyanogen mod i've ever used, but it hasn't been update in a month so iunno.
Overall i prefer the JDMS 1.6 build best, stable and fast (quadrant score of 2300+ for me without overclocking the cpu). I'm having some problems with music skipping on it and it turning on party shuffling and itself randomly at time, but i suspect it's the winmo rom causing the problems since windows media player pops up randomly too when i use the winmo rom.

Thank you for the response. I know this is like saying "what's the best flavor of ice cream out there?" But we watch the Food Network for the same reasons. We sometimes just look for ideas.
So yes, I liked JDMS a lot but I just noticed the nightly builds of HD2ONE and it is rocking so I'm going to stick with that over JDMS or Hyperdroid. I'm pegging 1900s in quadrant and it seems like everything is working. I'll need to spin it for a day to make sure. I like it enough that I'm not going to use NexusHD as my daily any longer but of course I will still mess around with it as it's a very nice build. I would like to find MDJs CM nightly's wherever they are.
So I totally agree with MDJ4.3 for my sense build. I had to install setcpu and rock it all the way up to get the same quadrant scores but it was needed as it was a little laggy otherwise. Everything seems great in there too. I think the bluetooth audio controls aren't working in it if I'm not mistaken but I can deal without that... again, will spin it for a day or two.
So yeah, I hope that helps anyone else. I know the best method is just trying all of them out and seeing what happens. I'm sure there are others that may sway me but everyone here is so awesome that I'm sure it will only get better... as soon as Gingerbread drops, I'll be messing around with new ones again. Love this phone until some true innovative phones drop, I'm wicked happy as always.
Thanks again!
how about between Darkstone/MCCM FroyoSense 3.4 or MDJ Sense 2.4 as sense builds?
personally I havent tried the non sense and cyan.
i also have tried MIUI builds (Iphone interface) which still is in development however very fast and very responsive... just that I didnt want my HD2 to look like an Iphone, which defeats its whole point
I've test driven about 50 ROMs on my HD2, from Mango to Android on NAND and SD, almost even flashed Mint but was turned off by no sound and will wait until dev is a little further along before trying that out. I'm on the newest DesireHD from CoreDroid and I'm liking it so far. My favorite ROM of all has been HardDroid2, but it had one fatal kiss of death that made me switch, which was no user dictionary/predictive text on the keyboard and no ability to install and deploy a different one from Market (FC anytime you try anything keyboard-setting related). I gave up on Mango altogether, at least until there's more apps and hotspot becomes a little easier. Dual boot with Android on NAND and Mango on SD would probably be ideal in my world, although that probably sounds bizarre given the HD2 is essentially a Windows phone to start.
Curious about the experience of others...preferred methods (SD or NAND), preferred chefs, best overall ROMs, best ROM for specific purposes? Have at...I know there's a ton of great knowledge and experience lurking around XDA, but even the purely end-users among us should have some constructive thoughts on to these questions...so have at!
Thanks,

NAND is best for me and the latest energy rom will take some beating
if you want to use WP also, you need to use SD version but if you a android fan, just install nand version thats easy - or ?
i prefer Hyperdroid 3.0.1 its clean, fast and got low battery usage
(Gingerbread 2.3.5 - no sense (using ADW Launcher))
hi
only NAND
NAND is the way to go. DarkStone's SuperRam works great off SD since it loads in RAM and is very fast, but loading in ram seemed to create a few minor functionality problems with gaining root access.
I use Hyperdroid GBX: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918899
hear Hyperdroid CM7 is just as good too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769026
Hyperdroid has decent battery life, amazing speed, great functionality, etc. I mean, I've only used like 4 different NAND roms so like everyone says, test some and find your personal favorite, but you got my recommendations above.
For Me it's
Dorimanx-ROM-HIGH-END ***** NO-HOME-REFRESH+SWAP+JIT+SKIN+TWEAKS+CRON
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166948
I've kept the NAND ROM in my sig since it was released, didn't update to newer version because the newer versions are too 'branded' for me in the settings menu and a few other places. I couldn't ask for a better NAND ROM than the one I have now, hundreds of apps, 5 homescreens, a bunch of widgets, and it still runs smooth as butter.
I usually switch between a few different SD builds, whatever's the hot new thing.
Dorimanx-Rom-High-End
Fastest around, overall great Nand rom.
Check my sig. Greatest for battery life

O have tried many roms prefer no sense roms and sticked with cm6 android 2.2 lest bugy for me them cm7 or 2.3 gignger
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
The newest version of Hyperdroid, the fastest and the most stable I've tested. Great battery usage. NAND of course. Magldr ver.
I have tried SD roms in the beginning, finally have settled for nand.
I'm using runnymede by mwakious.
it's working fine for me
In my opinion the best is HyperDroid, because it's a from source build, meaning it's 100% optimized for the HD2, making it the fastest and most stable rom for the device, but i hate the interface with passion.
My favorite Rom? i'm yet to find one that appeals to me as a full, i'm still looking for "THAT" perfect rom that is balanced concerning battery drain and performance with good aesthetics and UI. If only HTC released the source code for Sense UI so we can have Sense over any ROM, a CyanogenMod (Hyperdroid to be exact) + Sense UI Build would be my Dream and favorite ROM, as i don't like using LPSense, it just feels bland in comparison.
That would be the greatest
Hyperdroid with Sense UI
Would it be possible to cook a Rom with both if the source code if they release it?
Can we expect it in future or is it toooooooo far away?
I predict that the day the Sense UI source code is opened, android would be an abandonware OS, HTC is cool like that.
No ACA love eh? Suppose we need more glitter... haha

I stay with Sense 2.0 and 2.1 roms, i don't know, despite of how awesomely fast other roms are, sense roms feel more like..phones if you know what i mean, they feel more solid to me.
I have too used many different sd roms, and I have finally settled into using nand
but my favorite for sd was americanandroid
and my favorite for nand is hyperdroid gbx
By far the best ROM I have used NAND or SD is [OCT16] AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.7 CM7 | bk2sdext [KERNEL:ACA823]
Do you guys have any thoughts on what the most stable and smoothest Sense right now for HD2...Tried COreDroid ...really slow and buggy...thanks...
sense 2.1 , 3 and 3.5 has some problems. so you can try rafdroid desire hd with sense 2.0 (or some other roms with sense 2.0).
but of course cm7 and miui roms much more smoother and faster.
I think its best sense rom. May you try it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259110
But i think every sense rom in hd2 little laggy and slow.
I agree with mmmmm10 the Sense roms are fast at first and start getting slow as you install more apps.
I suggest the Boyppc/miui roms as a good/fast substitute for sense roms
If you want to stay with sense. Rafdroid is a good solution
check this one. its stable and very smooth

This is by far the best sense 3.5 around, and if you use it with Mikhei777 kernel then it's even better, superfast, smooth, no glitches and everything works although the camcorder is still laggy.
Check out my signature it is perfect ROM, I'm using it from long time, very stable and fast.

Hey guys,
Im looking for a ROM for my HTC HD2.
(Android of course)
It should run pretty stable, have as few glitches as possible, preferably not drain my battery but still run powerful.
I know there are overclocked ones and the battery saving ones.
Apart from that it should definately look nice.
I like the UI of this one but oddly enough this won´t work on my HD2, no idea why.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316632
So what do you recommend I should get?
Thank you!
P.s Should be 2.3.7 or above
I suggest hyperdroid it run smoothly and battery drain low. It runs now android 2.3.7

gingerbread roms like hyperdroid, nexushd2 and typhoon is what I would recommend. They are fast and smooth, but to decide which one, you will have to try them all It takes time to decide.. I have been flashing since 2009 ^^

Really? You've limited yourself to CM7 ROMs (e.g. Typhoon, Hyperdroid), MIUI ROMs (e.g. NDT) and Android 4.0 ICS. I think you mean it must be Gingerbread, not 2.3.7. Also, have you tried the search button or tried out ROMs? Hundreds of threads exactly the same as this exist and the only way to find a ROM you like is to try it out for yourself. If you wanted to see which ROM is most popular, just look at the number of views the thread has.
My personal recommendation? Typhoon CM7, runs perfectly and is everything you're looking for
i ran RafDroid HD for the longest time and it's my fall back if the other ROMS i'm running give me trouble, it's fast and silky smooth and works great for me.

Try any of the MIUI stable builds, they are rock solid and light on the battery.
like those by NDT, JW or the one called PATs MIUI sense like.
here's a link for a start

Hmm in my experience MIUI roms are more battery draining usually than straight cm7 based ones.
MIUI is nice for sure but a matter of taste.
most ROMs are stable and don't drain battery. Miui, CM7, or Froyo Sense ROMs. I had killer battery life on Miui ROMs.
don't know much about 2.3 Sense, 4.0 sucks now
please help! !!!
MIUI
ENERGY
Hyper Droid
Nexus HD2?
which rom you guys think is better!!
please help!!! I already flash all them don;t see any diffent.
which is battery saver and faster?
Why not try all of them to see yourself which one is better
I'm using SENSATION XL V 2.5 stock ALL IN ONE on my HD2. Its kinda laggy but I think that might be about my sd card. But everyone says it's the fastest and smothest Sense Rom ever. So I would give it a try.
For now, froyo and nexus based rom GB are suitable for my EU HD2. Runny and pyramid are still buggy and most of them runs laggy. Don't now if this happen to tmous version, since it has more internal memory.

Xperia Arc Beta
i think the xperia arc beta is very good!!! i use it every day and it´s the best rom for my hd2!!!!
I think you need to try by yourself to find out the one for you!
There is no perfect suit for everyone!!
I used Typhoon Cyanogenmod for a looong time, about 6-7 months maybe. Really liked it.
Using Tytung's NexusHD IceCreamSandwich now, because it is Android 4 .
aside from being the best android, which android rom has good battery life? i can only use my nexushd2 v3.2a gingerbread rom for half a day... huhuh
I feel comfortable with typhoon cyanogen mod.
simple, fast, good battery lasting and clean android look.
Then customize as you wish.
I used a lot of launchers before falling back on the standard one from cyanogemod, a modified version of ADW launcher.
Sense builds are too laggy for our HD2
I recommend MIUI (in particular Jan Willems builds) or one of the CM7 builds, Hyperdroid is a good one.
As above: try them all. Unique taste is very important - I like stock-similar rom's so I prefere UrDroid or RCMix3D.
Same like above: Not enought optimised HTC Sense >2.5 is too laggy to our device...
Definitely Nexus HD2. It's only a Beta but you'll love ICS.
Using now pure cyanogen mod7 by tweakos, so far the best nexus base, if you like sense, try mikhei777 froyo.
