HD2 android ROMS

Are there ROMS avaliable or just SD Card boot for the HD2, if there is a ROM, can I have one as similiar to the EVO as possible?
Thanks
This might be moved to Android dev general... But it's a good question, the roms are made from the desire hd, is this because it is a gsm android?
I would like to see a evo rom on my hd2, if possible...
A NAND rom is not yet available.... I believe we will have one soon.... September if I'm not mistaken

correct,not sure why we don't have any evo roms,but yes,nand should be working next month.
The quick answer is yes and no.
The long answer begins like this: There are a lot of roms on here ready to be loaded into your SD card and started. There isn't any that can be flashed to NAND yet.

this needs to be in general section

Try out the shubcraft rom. This is not a desire or nexus one build. You end up with HTC HD2 in your info section. I believe this is because it builds its own files on first startup. This also allows the build to have a download size of about 80mb only.

Best ROM to install on HD2

Hi
I will be getting an HTC HD2 in a few days and I am planning on loading the Android Froyo OS, and will be using it as my main system.
But looking through all those threads, I am stuck as to where to begin.
I need to find the latest and best NAND ROM for the HD2, since I intend to do all this hopefully just one time.
I would appreciate any guides that would get me rolling in the right direction.
thanks
Personal opinion
Hi,
I have tried many ROM till now, infact mostly all the ROMs. The best for my purpose ( since I am a heavy user ) is HyperDroidGingerbreadV1.2.
Benefits:-
1. Tweeked
2. Super Speed
3. Battery saver
4. Nice UI
5. Very responsive.
PS: Do give it a try.
I suggest you go to the forum and just read. You will find lots of tutorials on how to install and tweak the roms. You will find multiple roms and each has unique features. What I have done, and what I suggest for you, is just tried a bunch of different roms to see what works best for me. Try them all and see what you like the most. Part of the fun of having the HD2 is all the different things you can do with it.

This question/topic is frowned upon on XDA simply because its asked over and over again and there is no real answer as its subjective.
What is "best" for one person isnt always "best" for another and you may experience problems that another person didnt on his hardware.
There is no point in just asking what is the best one to install, The best thing you can do is to go read some guides etc, research as much info as you can and then try various roms until you find one that you like best or works best for YOU.
Do I need to still have windows on the phone to be able to install Android, or can it be done on its own?
Depends if you're installing a ROM or NAND.
ROMs install on your media card and require WinMo to boot the phone, NANDS replace WinMo.
Note that ROMs and NANDs are located in different sections of the forum.

You can install SD builds or NAND builds. SD builds are just copied to your SD card and you boot them from within Windows, but NAND builds replace Windows. Both types of build are ROMs.
I would prefer the NAND ROMS. I really don't like windows at all.
Can't find the guide to help me do the NAND install.

Nay, dear sir. A ROM refers to software flashed to internal memory, whilst a build refers to software installed on an SD card.
Unfortunately a lot of people ignore or are not aware of this convention, but it's a pretty important one to prevent confusion.

Thanks for the correction, but actually ROM is the chip that the build is flashed onto (in the case of NAND). They're all builds, regardless of location
We could be stuck in an endless debate here, because these terms have different kinds of meanings. ROM is also often used as an abbreviation of ROM image, i.e. a image of the firmware on a read-only memory chip (ROM chip). This means that it would be valid to call NAND firmware ROM, and invalid to call SD firmware ROM since it's not meant for read-only memory.
While strictly speaking it is indeed correct to call NAND firmware a build, there has been made a convention (I suppose this is HD2 specific) to keep them seperated.

Casemandan, did I miss something? I have been browsing the JDMS thread for a few days, but don't see how it is "T-Mobile ready." In particular, I'm looking for MMS that comes in the same quality as the sense T-Mobile ready builds. Read a few tips but quality is still sacrificed upon receiving for all gingerbread ROMs I've tried.

Hello and thanks to all.
According to title of this thread , I need a NAND ROM which has a file manger and support Persian language.
Any suggestion ?
Best regards.
To my opinion is it to wait for a stabe gingerbread or (maybe) Honeycomb NAND rom, isnt it?
Thank mate...
i think best rom for hd2 is cyanogen mod7 v2.6 that is android 2.3.2
I like the MIUI build. It has a few hiccups, but great. Love this than the other builds.

He posted in the right place. Development forums are only for posting builds/roms. But you can ask questions inside of a already posted topic about said build.

What exactly do u mean doesnt need an sdcard. Meaning doesnt run off of the sdcard? If so any desire build in the nand development section will work. Pick one that suits you best. Try segios build...its really nice.

Well, obviously thats what I mean

AFAIK unless you have a 1024 HD2, you end up with something like 5mb free space on a DesireHD build without using an SD card. This is possibly why it hung (hanged?). I remember reading that if you do have a 1024 HD2 then Desire HD builds will work without an SD card.
Anyway, desire ROMs are small enough and there are others out there. I'm currently using a Hyperdroid GB ROM and I can remove the SD card without issues. Phone reports...:
Storage Space:278mb
Free Space: 84.85mb.
...I have loads of apps installed as well.
Hope this helps
Hyperdroid build ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918899
This is what I use ATM
DesireZ/HD -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962600
I used this ROM for a long time. Good build that uses SD card as data partition unless you are a lucky one with a 1024HD2
thanks for ur answer so there is nothing to do with the leo512
but i have another question to ask
is there a desire rom that have the newer sense found in the desire hd roms?
thanks for ur help currently using derie stock rom by dft
There won't be as that's what makes the DHD ROM's different compared to the Desire ones. Why would you wanna remove the SD card during boot anyway? Btw, I recommend the DHD Revolution build by Arif-ali. Seems to work quite well.
Currently I am running gauner's dhd rom and do not need an SD card and have 50 something MB free internal memory...
Edit: EU Leo with 512MB
Internal : 221 MB / Free: 57,5 MB

I thought it was only DFT Stock Desire build which wasn't rooted, but it seems I'm wrong. Well logically you could just move to a new ROM I guess, MCCM HD is a very good rooted SD Froyo/Sense ROM IMO
But of course I'm not sure how you would back up your data seeing as Titanium Backup and other similar apps all require root, and the data.img cannot be swapped between builds.
Also, have you considered switching to a NAND ROM? Bit off-topic but I just thought I would recommend it
I have been on nand for ages, but it's always slower than sd. Anywayzz that wasn't my question, exactly
I just want to know if it is possible. Sd builds are always faster on my hd2.

is there not an app on the market that gains root access with a simple one click? or am i thinking INSIDE the box?
Try searching for Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip and flash it via recovery. But be aware.. Im not sure if it works for your build. It does for mine.
Or use SuperOneClick.
Btw.. NAND slower then SD builds? Haha, very funny. The reading times were sometimes horrible slow. Especiallly installing multiple app from market and so on. Get a nand like hyperdroid and you are fine.
Nice day

Ankuch's ICS Build 15

I've been using this rom via sd and i can say is the best build i've used so far. Dont know why i had so many problems using tytung's v1.3 if both roms are based on tytung's work. Anyway, i just want to thank everyone on this as they have given life to my hd2 again and again. I have a tmous hd2 with stock sd card and am not able to use portadroid4.0 to port ics nand roms. I have tried using different sense roms as i like sense, but have had the same loading time issues, is there any build you would recommend?
I know i have written different topics as one thing. Feel free to move where it needs to be, mod.
