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"...

you can start with one of the hunderd rom that chefs already cooked. This thread is just to ask help with cooking a rom, you have not to wait.. you already can use android daily on your phone.

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...

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.

Hello, I just converted my HTC HD2 from W6.5 to android nand 2.2, and so far I'm really impressed at the speed and the available apps. However, I cannot connect to the internet without using my home wifi. I have seen the other threads saying to download the datacontroller.cab file and I have done that. But I can't open the file to download it or get it to work.
I know this is a newbie question, but that's what I am.
Help? Let me know what additional information you need and I'll get it!!!
Thanks kindly in advance!
So you can't get mobile network working on win mobile or android?

Whichever build you are using is old and will probably have many bugs. Try a newer build. Also, as far as I know .cab files do nothing in Android, these are for WinMo.
Nigelgd, where do I get the info to run a newer build?
Thanks
in this section you are in, , see teh top thread?
''**HD2 Android Q&A and General - Sticky Roll-Up Thread**''
look in there, read the guides.
Samsamuel, that didn't work either. The buld downloads no longer exist.
Maybe I'm trying this out too late?
Oh dear... first choose a ROM you like. I personally recommend Typhoon CM7 but you can choose pretty much any ROM in the Android NAND Development section on the first page. Then follow this guide to get your Android build running.
Hello all!
I got it figured out. From searching the internet, I found a site that walked me thru the fix. It's the APN settings in the mobile networks, under settings.
Thanks to all who support this website, I'm going to like using my phone now! And to think I almost sold it for $50!

dude, stop spreading wrong info.. we had dream's donut running on leo initially (android 1.6), although good luck digging that thread and finding the downloads since most sites deleted their files after megaupload got busted.
can you post the thread link here? I can't seem to find it after look through the earliest threads. the filename would also be a good reference.

If i had that much time to waste and go through hundreds of pages, i would have posted the link instead of letting you know it exists. infact, there were even ports of sense on android 1.6 from htc tattoo.
However those builds are badly broken and cannot be recommended for usage, besides the fact you have less than 1% chance to find the download link working.

Maybe he wants to learn about the History of Android Development on the HD2
need search through the winmo threads for the sdcard images maybe ask if the op still has them lol
