Hey guys! Sorry to ask this question for the millionth time, but which custom WP7 rom do you guys prefer to use?
I'm currently on HD2O 7720 and i plan on updating to 7740, but can't decide which one.
The battery life, bugs/glitches, function, etc. all play into which rom works out for me. i don't care about the games or the little stuff; just the rom that can maintain perfect function without crashing.
thanks again!

For me it was xboxmod and yukis one. Had no problems
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda premium
Yuki ROM lock cards and dont have many other options...
best ROM (especially if you want play XBL games ) is Pdaimatejam Rom
I'm using XBMod/Yuki updatable rom and I find it brilliant, much less hassle than the others as it behaves like a normal windows phone 7 device. I also have no issues playing XBL games

i was also thinking about updating using PDAamiatejam's rom. everyone says great things about it.
I can play XBL games fine with HD2O. I can't say it plays the newer games well because i don't have recent games, but with the games i do have, it's smooth and acts like a normal WP7.
I also read a lot of good things about Yuki's, but i don't want to go through the hassle of a locked SD card knowing i may update or flash a different rom in the future.
and thanks for your input guys. much appreciated!
Hi guys!
Using this same topic to my question to don't opening other, o have HD2O 7720 too, and it's simple to update to a new 7740 rom like PDAamiatejam's rom? I need to change radio, etc?
Thanks!
Xbox Yuki room here
Just a heads up, They dont tend to like "best ROM" threads on here, Too Subjective and hurts peoples feelings
Why, Xbox/Yuki?
Simple, ive not flashed a ROM since the initial V2 release several months ago,
everything works, any im already Running the lastest Build 8107, not sure what people are saying about XB Live games, they work fine.
SD card lock is a good thing, someone steals my phone, theres no way of opening my data, if card is unlocked (or locked with no password) then its possible to gain access to the contents.
I think overall, you have Choice with Cab updatable ROMs, its a bit more hassle setting up, but once your done, your done, there has just been a ROM update there, im not going to do that, but i can still update to 8107, again, choice is king, oh an stability is perfect, but only if you have a compatible SD card, id assume thats the same for the other ROMs.
All latest WP7 roms are the same.
Either you want to use one that you can configure your own way without cooking it.
So you can use the Yuki XBmod and once it's flashed once, you can customize it your own way with XBmod cabs. Also you can keep upgrading it via zune or cab and without having to flash the device. The drawback is that is tough to get it working properly with high speed class.
Either you want to configure it your own way cooking it, and then you get pretty clear informations from Yuki to do so.
Either you don't want to configure anything and then you can use any other preconfigured rom but they are quite the same, so depending on your taste you might like one more than an other. The drawback is that if you want to upgrade the WP7 OS, you will have to keep flashing your device and re-install everything each time you will flash your device.
Also if you plan to use android together with WP7 than the Yuki XBmod rom is the best since you can use XBmod cab to specify the size of the android partition you want to use.

Since the 3.14 ROM contains an Android capable radio - is it still necessary to mess around with HSPL or can I grab an Android ROM, stick it to the SD card root and boot?
I'm interested in running Android but don't want to mess too deeply with my my phone if possible.
I appreciate this may be the sort of dumb question you guys answer all day lol, but dear me there's a lot of threads to sift through
No.
I have a UK unbranded HD2 and am using the stock WM ROM. (as long as you have a 2.08.50 (not 51) radio it will work,
All you need to do is put an Android build on the SD and it will work.
What is the best ROM? what is the best battery life ROM?
These are questions that no one has a straight answer for yet. you gotta try **** yourself and see how you go.
I am in my first week of HD2 hacking, and have tried a few builds, a few niggles, but generally solid.
Battery life is most important to me; I haven't found a combo i am 100% happy with yet.
Dunno what the above post is about, but yes - you can run Android with the latest (3.14) ROM.
I can personally vouch for that as that's what I'm running.
I am also running stock 3.14 with android and no problems.
Thanks guys that's excellent news. I didn't want to fiddle too much with the phone - especially since I know the new ROM and HSPL don't play nice. I was hoping I could do jus as you have described - find an Android build, stick it on my SD and go.
Now all I need is 02 to finally release the ROM for my phone, time to play the waiting game.......oooaaawww the waiting game sucks, let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos!

Apologies accepted since you missed alot of threads ! Most of us have Android on our HD2's .
It was very easy but you must do somethings first to guarantee a working Android on your HD2 . (Read the Guide on my Sig. )
You don't need to backup anything as the current Android doesn't touch your internal device memory (i.e. WinMo system files) It will run off your sd card.
Have fun

I ran EVO android from SD without having to mod my OEM phone.
Just make sure you do follow the directions and update the kernel as some may leave the kernel out of the bucket of legs and thighs.
It did mess with my time and date everytime I booted back into the phones OS but everything else pretty much was the same.
No speed improvements, may be a wee faster if loaded on phones memory.
Evertything the EVO Android had I had on my OEM phone, just different names on some apps.
Once I got my WM6.5 setup properly Android was usless to me.
Like linux it is a sloooooooooo booter. That is the deal breaker for me.
I like 30 second boots at the most. 20 seconds for a desktop is slow!
HD2 will live!!
HD2 with its name LEO is really a king to the jungle out there with its new era of a great processor, an outstanding screen and a sexy look!!
Wm 6.5 is fine but android really excells in combining wm and ios and making a neat interface with user friendly handling!
I'm so meticulous with my device and using stock rom and radio, i tried android from one of the great builds done by MDJ (thanx a lot to him)
It doesn't do any harm coz i didn't need to upgrade rom nor ram and everything is dealt with thru sdcard
if u don't like it; just format or erase the android folders or just leave it there if u have a big memory
it's awesome by all means!! give it a try u wont loose anything!!
TMOUS stock rom 2.10 and radio 2.08

Hi there
Are you saying, that you've managed to run adndroid on your leo with stock Rom and radio? Thing is, that I would also like to try android on my handset, but I'm too scared to hurt it in any way - hence not too keen on changing rom / radio - which seem to be only way according to info I've managed to find so far
Would you care to share your phone configuration, to see what you're running?
Many thanks.

Your current configuration won't run Android. It needs a radio of at least 2.08.50 (MUST be a .50, NOT a .51!!!) The ROM is irrelevant - only the radio matters to Android.
There is an official ROM upgrade available that takes you up to a 3.14 ROM with a 2.15.50 radio, but I don't know if you can use that without HSPL as you have a branded handset.
It may be possible to just upgrade the radio, from the HD2 ROMs thread, and leave your Windows ROM as it is.

They are two separate systems - WinMo in the phone's ROM and Android on the Phone's SD Card.
The only real requirement is that your RADIO must be at least 2.08.50 (any one higher than that with a .50 will do). So you need to know what software you already have:
Settings -> About phone -> Software information. Here you will see the Rom, Radio versions. If the radio is not correct, then we'll go through the procedure on how to update it.
The chefs in the Android ROM section give details on what you download and how to set it up.
As for backing up, there should be no need to (as they are independent systems), but better safe than sorry; install SPB Backup. Even if you weren't thinking of running Android, having a backup is always advisable.

I have a bootscreen on WM that shows 3.14 as the ROM but in Settings/phone/ software information it still shows 1.48 and a date of 09/29/10.
Is this normal? does this mean my upgrade failed?
Radio release is same on both - 2.15.50.14

Don't worry about what is says when Windows is running. The value shown then is from the registry, so it can be changed. Have you done a restore from a backup application by any chance?
I'm giving in and willing to try WP7 over WM6.5, so I'm looking for a pleasant experience and not wanting to run into bugs galore with poor builds. So I thought I'd ask which is the best most stable and up to date build around...
Things I'm looking for:
Ease of installation
Feature rich
HTC Hubs
3.5mm Headphones and mic or bluetooth support
Also will I still be able to boot my SD Card Android Boxmax or do I need to adjust something, add a new Wp7 app or what?
It'll be on a us t-mo phone, I'll comeback with more required answers when it's out of the shop, finally got the mobo swapped out with a good one, unfortunately the mobo had windows mobile on it and the cellphone repair shop wanted to charge me 60 bucks to flash WP7 to it, I already paid them 70 and when I very first took it in they offered to flash it to WP7 for free and now they won't.

Those are the only realeases that do not do random reboot and that are awesome and the problem is not always the SDcard. It is us because sometimes we only download the rom and flash without reading its description (we dont read the thread, just look for download link and pictures), then are all exited and suddenly a sudden reboot and we are then we go back and read about the rom and we get

sd card must be in device when flashing wp7 rom and all data will be erased
read my tutorial from signature
also hardware radio (2.12 or 2.15) must be flashed... you dont touch data.zip!!!!!!!!
you unzip data.zip only if you want put software radio 5.51 for example inside and again zip to data.zip file

I don't need to flash to HSPL 2.08 do I according to my bootloader? I just need to flash to 2.15 radio and then flash MAGLDR and then WP7, right? I saw nothing in the tute saying yes or no about a HSPL being higher than 2.08, acording to my bootloader I can tell what HSPL I have right?
if you have never flashed HSPL before or if you have and got rid of it then it is vital you do this FIRST as this prevents your hd2 from being bricked
Okay so flash HSPL then Radio then WP7 or Flash Radio then HSPL then WP7?
Hspl>radio>magdlr>wp7
And I should choose 2.08 I guess, I tried updating the radio a few minutes ago with LeoAdvancedRUU and it didn't work it just sat there, hopefully there's another way to update the radio or I'll be stuck.

for which reason? no need for this (ROM is already full unlocked, Chevron is useless), forget it... simple get live activation code from microsoft and use it every time when flash new ROM...

Am currently planning to install Pdaimatejam Mango v7.5 ROM. Havent seen reviews about how good it is. If someone can give me a short quick review i will be really thankful.

Does Pdaimatejam ROM have the same problem??
basically i am trying to install WP7 on NAND and Android on SD.

I installed this Rom over a week ago and i must say i am very impressed. Very responsive, no lag/freezes/crash or boot loop yet.. Most importantly battery life is excellant, everything else works fine ie data email internet etc
Yes, you can use that link to dual boot, there is a video on pdaimatejams thread on how to dualboot too .very useful.
No its not the same for pdaimatejams rom ie it does not lock the sd card like yukis when reboot.Anyhow The unlock cab for yuki is very simple to use .

Thanks for the info Moscino02. I read Tango roms arent that great with respect to stability and so thought i should go with Mango build. I will update tango once its released officially:good:

Thanks mengfei. I heard the battery life of Tango ROM is bad. As i can see from the forum, it's personal preference and the how old/new ur battery is..
The tutorial looks awesome.. I am not able to decide between Tango and Mango roms. Everyone says Mango roms are stable but i havent seen anyone using Mango anymore. Being a first timer, its a bit confusing
What would you suggest..
well usually the latest ones are the better ones, fixing some bugs from the previous versions BUT at the same time creating new ones lol
maybe I'll wait for WP7.8

Hello everyone,
I am new to HTC and custom roms can someone wrote briefly which are the best custom roms for my HTC HD2? (tried and tested roms!) Now I am using it stock rom but I am not happy with it.
1. Best Android rom (I tried 4.4.4 but is too slow and have a feeling is draining battery more than the normal)
2. Best Windows Mobile 6.5 rom?
3. Best Windows Phone rom?
4. Best Windows Mobile/Ubutuntu/Android rom?
Cheers,
Best custom WM6.5 is Energy
http://www.mediafire.com/download/b...3699.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.DinikGlass.Nov.24.7z
With bit of personal modding it rock solid & well featured.
Used on all our work HD2 handsets as the rest are junk except for gaming or facebook ...
Thanks mate! I will try it.
Also mate try Android 4.4.2 tytung rom it is working good on my HD2 (Native SD - SD card 10 class 8gb)
Thank you bojan. I see that the Energy rom has a Launch Android shortlink so I suppose it is for that. Just to figure out how to install it...
@ Mister B
I have one issue, BTW I succefully installed 24.Nov.Energy rom and very happy with it! Just what I needed. I am not going to use the phone for games. Maybe except for chess. Simpler, stable the better. Excuse me for writing it in this topic but I don't have access to ask in the proper threads as a new user and I am eager to figure it out.
The issue is that when I listen to the FM radio and I have a call the phone is turning off. Is this normal? Had someone experienced a simmilar issue? Is windows mobile providing some kind of an errors log?
Yes the energy rom has a link to launch android SD build.
I have just tested my FM Radio as i'm on that ROM & no issue on incoming call.
Could possibly be linked to radio version perhaps, i'm using radio as linked in my signature.
Are you also on HSPL2.08 !?
I have Chess Genius, Tripplix & Virtual Pool Mobile which more than enough for gaming for me.
IM+ still works on WM too so can support facebook messaging etc which can be handy.
