Idea For our very own Unofficial HTC HD2 Android Rom

hi everybody
ive come up with an idea,now the android builds/roms we use are normally from other android phones,Each android phone does something a bit different compared to others.Now Htc desire HD rom is slightly Different from a Desire Z rom.heres my idea,how about combining all the different features of the sence roms into one big build,you would need to use data to sd(euro hd2) Unfortunently im no dev,im just a graphic designer,heres what im thinking,base would be 2.3 gingerbread or froyo 2.2.1,have the menu from the nexus s(2.3),dunno if thats a 2.3 feature or not.720p recording if we can get that working,Evo keyboard,Strait bar lockscreen,bit like from the HD mini,Evolution sence bar(the bit at the bottom with the menu phone and personalise buttons),Framework close to stock but with a Battery indicator,Rotatable Sence From the Desire Z,Music player from Desire HD,Would be a big rom but crammed full of features,best of everything,obviusly HTC wont bring out android update for us so lets all do it.The Unofficial HTC HD2 android Rom,Any Devs wanna take up the challenge

I like the idea, but I think it would be impossible to do. htc employs teams of engineers working on these builds full time for one. And they have all the best in equipment and testing. So resources is an issue right off the bat.
In addition to that, I'm sure there's a reason why you can't move data.imgs from one build to another, they're probably not compatible.

Like the reply above me says... we don't have an army of devs and millions of $ to spend on development. It's amazing what the devs have been able to do, but the main reason they have accomplished what they have is because there were similar devices we were able to port from. We are running a port... I don't think the hd2 will ever have its own Rom not taken from another device.

Dude, its a nice thought but to wuote agent smith. Your living in a dream world neo.

i think it is possible,just take a bit of time,you just gotta look at it from a different angle.i have a theory about how to do it just a Dev would need actually need to do it,could even set up a Bounty if needs be but would be great to see.Base Rom we can use The desire Z 2.2.1 rom as base as its lighter than HD,i dont think Gingerbread is coming to desire Z just yet.So use that.Then incorperate the Desire HD music player(i have an apk for that)Near original framework but with a battery percentage in the battery icon(i have an apk for that).Evolution Sence bar or rEvolution you can get here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=891520 ,Evo keyboard i think we can use HTC_IME wich i have an apk for aswell,you would need to use data to sd wich has allready been done becouse it would be a big build,All we need is for someone to bring em all together to Creat the rom,If somebody was wanting to do it i can put those apk up on here for download

will the future bring windows phone 7 to the desire hd?

hello guys
i just wanted to know if it will be possible to put windows phone7 as a second system on the dhd...i know i know windows phone 7 isnt a free sourcecode..but some people get it right on the hd 2..
so i was wondering if it wouldnt work for the dhd too?

at first: YES. it is possible.
BUT: it's a LOT of effort to port WP7 to the DHD and probably no one would do it.
so there would probably never be a working WP7 version on the DHD unless you get a really good DEV to work on this

I think there is a launcher called Windows phone 7. It looks exactly the same!

imo Windows 7 is not necessary on DHD.
Gingerbread is great.

im pretty sure WP7 wont come to the DHD as we first of all need the source code - which we most likely wont get.
+ imo the reason why we have working wp7 builds for the HD2 is, because it already has windows framework on it, which makes it way easier to port a newer version on it.

My question would be, will windows fans ever work out how to use search on XDA?, please this question has been asked time and time again.

Sry for the question bro actually im using revolution hd 5.11 and the windows phone 7 launcher the combination of windowd design and android software is great

I doubt it will. Even though WP 7 can be ported, almost all services in WP 7 will unuseable. The one that Im waiting is Meego or Ubuntu fully ported to DHD.

When I visit a big online store (which begins with an a ;P ) at this time all wp7 devices are really cheap xD. when you want wp7 I would recommend you to buy a htc hd7 for example. At the moment you will miss something like WOW effect of something new . Tested wp7 a while on my old hd2...there are many things missing (in OS itsself) and the hype came down after a short time after release of dft.

It would be good if can make it dual boot...

I just installed launcher 7 from market , I tested out the free one for an hour or so and was so happy I brought the donate version, its ad free with some extra options, now I have custom multi colour wp7 tiles on my homescreen, its great, I highly recommend it ;-)

Graphic glitches in Gingerbread

I am using HTC HD2 with android nand roms. After Froyo wich was really good on HD2 i installed some gingerbread ROMs.
I love HTC sense so i always use Roms with sense UI.
Like all other using gingerbread i have the typical graphic glitches. There is a fix of this, but using this will bring the camera to stop working.
My Question to the developers:
Is there a real chance, that this bugs will be fixed and camera and graphics will do fine?
Can we support the developers fixing this issues?
Will there be a fix from HTC/when?
I am very happy with android and appreciate the lots of work of the developers. Thank you, its great.
I am thinking about giving my HD2 away and buy a Samsung Galaxy S2.
If there will be fixes of this bug in short time i will keep my HD2 on.
If there is no possibility of fixing this, i will change to Galaxy S2.
Thanks for your hints.

Definitly not the proper section, it should be in Q/A...
BUT :
I'd love to see a dev/chef offering a fully working Froyo Sense. No 2.1 or 3.0. Sense is only experimental now, there is no more stable and up to date version of Froyo Sense which is a shame.
RafDroid is out of date and Incredible S (imilka) buggy with many apps FC...

should post this in Q&A
as for imilkas incredible s build, never had any issues with it and wqas running it for at least a month and half before changing never had any force closes

Try the game Cordy...

fix for graphic glitches?
I installed HTC HD2 Android Gingerbread on Nand. The typicel GB-graphic glitches suck very much.As far as I understand, is it possible for the devs to fix this bugs as soon as HTC releases the Kernel Source Code of GB.
When will HTC release this source?
I am sad about this bugs and thinking of sell my HD2 and buy a Galaxy S2.
Anybody who can give some details?

Everything is possible and almost all things made possible on HD2. I don't think fix for this issue will be impossible. Just its about time. Don't worry, Android isn't a windows mobile or windows phone for someone to protect.
Keep hopes!
Thanks...

Dude, have patience. just wait of this problem to be fixed as well. however, if u planned to by galaxy s2 there will not as much support with it as compared to hd2 cuz there are so much developers working on hd2 roms, and i hope that the time is near for a stable sense 3.0 rom for hd2.

they will probably fix the glitches once the DESIRE GB kernal source is released
which it seems they have forgotten to do,or they just dont plan on releaseing it

I'm a noob, but... this seems to be desire HC gingerbread source code...

let me understand...
out HD2 seems to be very similar to desire HD in hardware (the only difference seems to be original OS and Camera, 5 vs 8 MPx) same CPU and same graphic processore.
desire HD already have a gingerbread + Sense official rom. It's only sense 2.1, but we have same glitches problem on any gingerbread + sense rom. the problem seems to be the same...
why we need a desire (not HD) kernel source code? there is no way to use desire HD source?

I thought this at first as well but I can't explain this to you, only a dev or someone more experienced can. But in short, the hardware is not close enough, the DHD has a 2nd generation CPU vs the HD2's 1st gen or something like that, whereas the original desire has the same hardware as the HD2.
TBH, I have no clue in other words.

Why don't we have full hardware acceleration yet in ICS?

Hello everyone,
Today, I was hoping that someone with knowledge could shed some light on this topic.
As from what I can see, the Desire, the Nexus One, the Desire HD and many other devices have already gotten full HWA with ICS.
So what is really making the HD2 fall behind? Is it because that all these device run Android natively and the HD2 doesn't ? Is it because our device is just too old? What is the main reason?
Thank you for reading, any sort of information is appreciated.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App

I took a look at those forums and it appears that they do not have full HWA much the same way we don't. I noticed that the ICS roms report that there is working HWA but there are still video and camera issues resulting from lack of full HWA.
I have yet to see any phone beyond the Nexus S have full HWA yet, add to that fact we do not have a true Android device so there is always the issue of proper drivers.

Well, most of the ROMs I have seen say "HWA (real)" or "Full" which I assume isn't the same as ours? Sure, camera and video playback issues may be present.

If I could do it myself, I wouldn't be posting this here .
But I'm neither a coder nor a developer, furthermore, I am only asking not, not "do it for me" ..
I am just hoping that it isn't (doesn't become) like the camcorder on sense builds.
Thanks for everyone.

The reason things like hwa take so long to be written for our phone is because it isn't a native android device. With all other devices you mentioned there is a stock android rom that comes shipped out of the box, with hwa and camera drivers written by the phone manufacturer. In that case, devs only need to tweak the code to make it work on their build.
With the HD2, devs need to write it from scratch or borrow code from another device and hack the s##t out of the code to make it compatible with the HD2.
PS. Is there still a problem with camcorder on sense rom's? I've not used sense since the haret days, but it works fine on miui (2. 3.7 of course)

And also don't forget that now we don't have the good old developers that started the whole project like dcordes,letama,markinus,dan1j3l,darkstone and other talented guys.cotulla is still with us but I think he likes more wp7 and not android

In reply to your question about GB Sense, yes HWA has not yet been implemented yet, this is the last hurdle.

How about building HTC Sense Rom

Guys i am a big fan of HTC Sense.
I am not a developer but i if anyone wants to build a new ROM just giving a suggestion how about building a Sense ROM.
I even tried porting HTC Blinkfeed that is available for CM Roms but it doesnt give pure experience of Sense Rom's.
Anyone interested ?

Just got my new OP2, coming from HTC One M8 and decided against an M9 because of the Hardware.
But I'd be really looking forward to a Sense ROM for the OP2, they still got the best UX imho.
Just let me know if someone gives it a try...

Have you tired Xpirt's port of Sense 7 on non rooted devices?

Yes, Same here.
I was Using HTC phones from last 4 years and there Sense Rom's are awesome. Tons of features and customization.
I always used the Team Venom's Rom and they work flawlessly.
if anyone can port the complete Sense 7 on Oneplus 2 that will be awesome.

Yes i have tried that port.
It is good but dont works properly on Oxygen Rom and CM is also not stable yet for our OP2
That port doesn't give complete HTC Sense experience.

This would be incredible.
Someone should ask mike1986 if that's possible.

I've had HTC One phones for the last 3 or 4 years..... I always rooted and used either a GPe ROM or my favorite HTC ROM/maker = ViperOne, but usually the non-sense version, and then I used Nova to make it as close to GPe as possible, but still had the Sense apps. Not a big fan of BlinkFeed, but loved the camera, gallery, and music player......Which I found these 3 apps here on XDA, but the camera and music player are a little buggy on my OP2.

Hi guys, I'm reading this thread and I'm in the same position.
I had only HTC from many years: Desire, Sensation, One M7, One E8 (dual sim).
HTC sense, high end phones, very nice design... This was HTC for me in past.
I was in love with HTC, but now I decided to buy OP2.
Reasons:
- I need dual sim
- Hardware/price
- I really like to customize my phones with roms, kernels...
A dual sim flagship is not usual. If you buy a S6 dual sim (or other highend unit), you are buying a version of the phone, so no roms availables...
If a Sense rom appears... I'm sure I will use it

Until there's a Sense based ROM (not sure there ever will be?), here's a link to some of the Sense apps/launcher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/htc-blinkfeed-plugins-devices-08-03-2015-t3049438

Camera did not work for me either.
It worked on my Moto X Pure Edition, but was a little laggy and crashed if I was using it to take a bunch of pictures. So I stopped using it as my main camera.
