You shouldn't have deviated from stock in the first place. I would even go as far to say you shouldn't have even rooted your phone. You're going to get flamed....... You should have searched, and that tutorial is pretty basic. Figure the **** out

I agree.
However, I will admit that "tutorial" makes my eyes bleed. I cringe every time I have to link to it.

Click the link in my signature.
Instead of the zip files in my thread, download the zip file from the shipping ROM thread (" You may get the Original Shipping Image from HERE or thru Modaco HERE. [22607 build] ").

before going back to stock i recommend trying cm.5.0.6 rom, its 10x better then stock.

This may not be to your liking, but why not go with Cyanogen? Its UI is optimized for the Nexus One. Combined with HelixLauncher it's even more kick a$$.

Maybe i should try cyanogen
I heard that its really good :] And it is full version? not alpha like desire ROM, right? :]

its not an alpha version, everything works.

Just follow the steps in the guide...
I hope someone updates the guide and puts some screenshots...

here u go... i use this alot and has helped me in the past
http://theunlockr.com/category/howto/android_how_tos/nexus-one-how-tos/

they're not buggy but compared to cyan the battery life just sucks. I don't think many people use those ROMS as their primary OS.

universal Rom

if u were decide which stock ROM u will put in all hd2 which
costume ROM u would put to fit every person habits on the planet
so it will fit any person
ofc this person could get better ROM for him
but still which is the minimum ROM to start with
the stuck ROM is not good ROM enuf lots of bugs

I'm confused by you're post are you asking what is the best custom ROM to use?

Look Here.

There is no 'best rom'. This thread is likely to get deleted so I'd suggest looking in the ROM Development forum and finding one you like the look of.

from what i gather you wants a rom thats as close to stock as possible but not actually the stock rom

there is a thread in the rom section that tells you whats uncluded in each rom no link sory on my phine, i think its a sticky so will be near the top of the list

[Q] How to port/cook an Android ROM for HD2 (chefs please help)

Hello
I'm looking for some hints about the subject: how anyone can take a shipped, let me say, HTC Desire rom and let it work on HD2.
I'm not talking about doing heavy tweaks, modifications and so on... just to take a stock Android ROM and have it working on HD2.
I asked to some chefs and received some hints but It's not enough.
I don't want to think that this is a "secret" and I think would be great if some chef would share his experience/step-by-step instruction on how to do this.
As I said before, I think we could start just with simple porting of a stock htc desire ROM, just to understand all the steps. I think that further steps on how to customize and tweaks will be explored later and anyone could experiment itself.. but we need a basic starting point.
Some step by step instruction will be great like:
1) Download shipped rom from here .........
2) unrar it in linux folder
3) copy this folder, rename the other one, dowload this file, copy this...
4) execute shell command XXXXX
5) copy on your sd card
6) boot...
of course I know it's not so easy, but is just an exaple on what I ask here. I think there are a lot of other perople looking for this.
Thanks to any chef/dev that would to explain to our noobs how to get the "magic"
p.s.
I ask the moderators to keep, if possible, this thread in the Dev forum... this because we need help from devs here and in the Q&A forum it will be never noticed.

I came across this the other day that maybe of use:

Yes, I was pointed to that thread too. If you look at the end there are some questions I did. The problem is that is based on MIUI... That is already a custom ROM.
I think the better way to understand the process (not just do it) is to have hints on how to port a standard/stock HTC DESIRE rom.

Ideally the same way. In theory it should work...I never tried because sense builds (especially hd ones) are very laggy

Hello, I was just replying on the other thread to thanks you for the answers
I will try to follow your guide to port a stock desire rom (strange that are laggy for you... for me they fly...)
Anyway it's still something not clear about the donor files... If it's ok to take them from an already HD2 working rom or not.. but I will ask on your thread, avoid to make confusion

no one tip from the devs?
I'm start thinking that instructions on rom cooking for hd2 is like a secret

I've asked this many times, but as you said, no one seems to want to share this "secret"...

Did you cook a MIUI rom or a Sense rom or a stock android rom?
For the cedesmith's initrd.gz I was thinking the same thing.. maybe we have to ask directly to him.

wow, both tyween, and rafpigna, started from this, to now:
Rafroid
Typhoon
best roms on xda. Really nice work guys!
But still, no one shares the "secret" I have tried several things myself, but it didnt work. Would really appreciate if someone could share how to port a rom to the hd2.

Yeah would be great if tyween and rafpigna let us know how they managed it, what guides/reference they started of on or if they have any tips for us etc

I totally agree, I would definitly cook my own rom if I knew how to...

Thank sir, I just gone through those steps and feel complicated for me.
Not so confidence how to do it.
However, thank for quick reply and support since the breakdown question.
Cheers!

If you need a step by step guide as to how to install WildPuzzle (Or any Custom ROM for that matter), you can refer this very detailed guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824396
If, after reading that, you still cant do it, I guess you are better off sticking to the stock ROM and HTC Supplied updates.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the tips, I'll do more googling before I start to do so. Too early to say better off my friend, cos just start up, will learn and will try to do.
Cheers,

I just read your first post, and, if you have updated to official 2.2.1, there's nothing you can do anymore, because, you can't root your phone anymore till Unrevoked is updated.
Hard Luck

Oh...anyways, thanks for your information. I stick around the forum, to see what more can I do.
You all got my respect!

This does not belong in the development section as this is not development. Questions expecting answers belong in the section titled Q&A. I know we move fast but try to keep up.
Anyways, I'm on t mobile us. there is not a rom that is stock desire with the mms fix, it has to do with the sense messaging client. That being said, there are several roms that have this fix, if sense is what you want. Cmylxgo has several desire hd roms where mms comes in beautifully. There's a mytouch 4g rom from motoman. there's a themed desire rom, but I forgot who the chef is.
I would also like to point out that you probably would have found all of this with five minutes of the search button or about ten clicks in the development section.

Depending on the ROM, there is usually detail instruction on how to flash the ROM over your current one.

If you use daf or dft, then yes, it will just overwrite everything. If you take this route, I would backup everything with titanium backup first and if you want to some sms bacup app.
I recommend using clockwork recovery mod as a primary way of flashing, however. First, it is a far superior method of changing roms because you can make a full backup and if you don't like the new rom then you go back to everything in it's right place. Second, it seems that many roms are moving to this now. It may soon become more difficult to flash via dft or daf versus with cwm. Educate yourself on this, it's seriously very easy to figure out and even easier to use once you do figure it out.
