they got better, much better.
and like always there are no "best builds"
i can just recommend u using a nand or even a RAM build
my current one is the Ultimate Droid 3.0 RC, but there is a new version out, i recommend trying that one
or else.. cm7, always a good choice

I´m on typhoons CM7 and it runs like a charm really fast and really good battery life (3-5mA in standby with wifi and gps on). But there are a lot of builds that you can try.

I changed my HTC HD2 to android aswell and its fast and table. So you know that to do. Flash it to android

You should try the Ultimate Droid 3.1 its pretty awesome fast, stable pretty sweet battery life also if you turn off what you don't need/use

I am thinking to flash my hd2 to android too.
Are the android roms in dutch, or only in english ?

is it really that much better than the 3.0 RC one?

Some of MIUI roms are better for battery. I used miui-star and miui-jaws

is process still the same run off sd card and hit clarett? or something like that are they still on gamesquareuk or where can i find that build?

You have the option of running it off the SD card like the good old days along side winmo. Or you can flash it to the nand memory which is how native android devices run android.
I personally use nand builds and in my experiences they are more stable and battery efficient. Check my sig for the build I use.
Go to the nand android threads and read the stickies to get the lowdown. Since you do need madglr and cwm.

Nope it's fairly straightforward, I did it last night:
1. Install MAGLDR 1.13,
2. Install Clockwork Recovery,
3. Download the rom, renamed to update.zip, stick on SD card
4. Run Clockwork Recovery and install update.zip
5. done
I'm using this one. Seems good so far

i will be securing an htc hd2 tomorrow untouched with windows still on i will definitetly chime in tomorrow as im not that advanced as far as modding phones and am a little nervous. i dont want to brick my phone

dont be that scared, its much easier than u think
just flash magldr as described
then flash cwm as described
and the rom over cwm

get on it asap dude. DFT has really good nand android builds. i rocked a hd2 with their gingerbread and it was brilliant. very stable and didnt crash at all. the process is so easy to

If you used to use FroyoStone by DarkStone, then you should use SuperRam Froyo by Darkstone!

gonna flash soon what in you guys experience is the best full featured nand version are the gingerbread versions fully up and running or still missing certain things

Gingerbread is cool with AWD Launcher Plus and some other widgets.
Unfortunately camera quality in my case was poor so I dropped this rom.

[Q] Need help to port a Gingerbread (2.3.3) ROM to HD2

Hi. I am keen to learn how to port a Gingerbread ROM which I like to HD2 and would appreciate if someone could advice or recommend me the place to start. The closest I found was in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898215 but someone mentioned that it is already outdated as the advice would only work with older android version.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

so u want to make your own android rom?

I am not sure if this is call making an android Rom ... what I want to know is if I see a good gingerbread rom from the HTC desire for example, how can I "cook" it for hd2?

Yeah I think u mean making,cooking a rom for HD2,not flashing it to HD2 ,right?
I think u need to put alot of time to make a good stable rom.that's y I prefer to download one and just flash it and see how it runs

Yes. I am not referring to flashing it but cooking it for hd2. I have already tried a couple of the custom Gingerbread Rom for hd2 but am not entirely satisfied so I decide to cook one for myself based on the other HTC handsets.

Aha I see,I'm using BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA GINGER 2.3.3 RAM_V5 and so far it's great.
ppl also recommend this:
TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 RC2 v2.6.2 [2.3.3][A2SD][tytung r7]
but if u wanna make ur own rom ,if I'm not wrong u can find a Chief program easy to cook a rom for ur desires ,but I'm not 100 percent sure it's an entire rom or just the interface ,I never tried that, have a look at that.

Been using TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 rom on my device this rom updates very quickly

[Q] HD2 Android Rom without sense UI please?

So I absolutely love my HD2 with android on it. So much better than windows! But sense keeps getting in the way of my apps (mostly Wiimote apps) and it is getting really annoying...Is there a way around that? Or more to the point, does anyone know of a good rom that is android without sense that I can run?

cm7 based builds give you a good performance. you can also try miui builds they are fast too.

What problem are you having? (former serial ROM flasher!!!!)
Are you using HD2 Toolkit, makes life a lot simpler for flashing ROMS etc

if you ask 10 people here what rom they like your bound to get 20 different responces. your best bet is to try each rom intill you find a rom you like and stick with it. i have 2 or 3 roms i like best and keep them on my sd so when i feel i need to change i just flash 1 real quick.
if you take a look at this web page there is a list of all the android roms listed here on XDA. its much easier to look through then the pages here & also it tells you if it has sence or not, when it was updated, if its a nand or sd version, when it was added as well as some other useful information. i would check it out and hopefully you can find a rom you like that works for you.

Go try to "TyphooN CyanogenMod 7".
I think you will like it if you don't like sense roms.

Which CM rom is the closest to normal CM7 without any themes or graphical changes? Would it be Tytung's NexusHD2?

Well the problem i am having now is that i can't get ANYTHING not even an original HD2 rom to update onto my phone...The HD2 toolkit is the MAGLDR CMW and SPL thing right?

What android?

Ok i have the HTC HD2 i been away for like a year and just come back and there seems to be new android 2.3 and that am using 2.2 froyostone sense.. so whats new then? which one would u recommend for me as there loads now cheers

Well, loads has obviously changed now. I would recommend looking here for instructions on how to start over and using this ROM, but you should obviously experiment in terms of ROMs.

[Q] Some ROM Suggestions, please.

Hi,
I had flashed a near stock NAND ROM but was constrained on space. Then tried out an SD ROM, still works well, but found it too slow for comfort
Could anyone please suggest a stable, working, daily use (with everything working) NAND ROM with:
1. HTC Sense
2. A2SD
3. Daemon Controller (preferable).
4. Working camcorder and camera without lags.
Believe me, spent a lot of time searching.
I don't care too much about the themes, the stock HTC are good enough for me.
Thanks,
jiggyk
P.S.: If someone could suggest a stable and fast SD ROM having the above (without #2, of course), that too would do and I would be thankful.

All GB Sense ROMs have camcorder bugs, unfortunately, so I don't think there are any ROMs which don't have this. Unless, of course, Froyo Sense is good enough for you. I've found Froyo Sense to be fast, smooth and stable. I would also recommend trying a CM7 ROM (e.g. Typhoon/Hyperdroid) as these are very fast, and can be themed to look like Sense.

Thank You for your prompt reply.
My preference for HTC sense is primarily because it nicely links my facebook, whatsapp, etc. contacts and shows mobile numbers and email addresses of facebook friends far and near who I did not have in my contacts list hitherto.
However, these ROMS you have suggested, do they have A2SD built in? I am also assuming that the camcorder bugs are in the ROMs with sense. Is that correct??
Regards,
jiggyk

try pyramid rom by langthang,or the 1st haldric rom,u av no need to worry about glitches fix lol as he's the guy who fixes them lol,but at the min im using rcmicx3d rom

To answer your questions, yes (I think) and yes.

For stable version you can try Nexus One Rom by Tytung.The base is ligther and the rom is smooth but other rom also has its advantage.

The pyramid ROM, you mean version 8.0 on this page, right? Version 9.0 is not pyramid based
Any idea if this ROM is based on Android 2.2 or 2.3??

pyramid 8se should do u fine,v9.0 may have alot more bugs etc,but there's no reason why u shouldn't try haldric rom or RCMix3D rom,that's what im using at the min but will be going back to haldric's rom when he updates it next

as far as im aware,but im using v4.0,not all apps can go to sd though,its the only prob i can't work out.......e.g: when using pyramid rom with a2sd,i downloaded facebook for android,went to settings and moved it to sd card,now the rom im using has a2sd also cos i go to sd-ext folder and all my downloaded apps are there,but facebook is not possible to move via settings,but if no joy i came across a free app in the market called Link2SD AND ALL THE APPS I CAN'T MOVE VIA APPLICATION/SETTINGS I CAN MOVE USING LINK2SD.........so i'm 1 happy guy lol
also,if u wait till tomorrow,he says 4.1 is being released with glitches fix and less bugs,but have a play with this version,if u like it,download v4.1 when released(fri)

if you want sense with everything working and i mean a camcorder at 800x480 rather than 320 then you will be looking at a froyo based rom not a gingerbread rom
personally i have moved from a sense rom to a miui rom and changed to go launcher ex and am more than happy with it, its alot faster than sense

Team Blue Droid have produced an excellent sense 3.5 Rom which looks the business and works far better than many others I have flashed recently on mh EU HD2. I am not that technically minded regarding SD card partition types, but I run mine via SD card after flasing a 1024 partition using CMR and the accompanying DAF.exe.
From reading many threads I understand camcorder is less than perfect on most roms at highest res.

Thanks for your inputs, everyone!
I had the same problem of all apps not going through to the SD, and the remaining memory would not go over 25-30MB at any time, with a near stock Froyo ROM. (Yes, it is a very fast and stable sense ROM). I think I'll take your advice and wait for 4.1 and then see how it goes, will download it over the weekend. Also this Link2SD thing looks interesting!!
The Team Blue ROM looks very impressive indeed, what with the Daemon Controller and all, but, going through the forum, many have had glitches with the wifi, network, etc. I thought I'd wait for this ROM to settle, but now that you say that they aren't making any more.......
