other than stock 6.5 which other roms (Android, wp7, Ubuntu anything) have EVERYTHING working? and is smooth enough to be used? (i dont need silky smooth, but i don't like anything that runs like win vista on single core pc....lol)
basically i don't play lots of 3d games, and i like long battery life and good camera and decent music (not any "awesome" sound quality needed really...it should just sound good...not cracking noises and all)

also i wanted to know if sd based Android ROMs are really very laggy or not?
and finally if i keep wp7 in nand, can i dual boot an Android from sd?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Any OS will do, Android has everything working, and wp7 nearly so. Sd card android performs identically to NAND. Faster if it's a RAM build even, but worse battery life than NAND. Ubuntu doesn't work as well, but it's sd card only, so it's not your main OS.

If you want a ROM with everything working on the HD2, the Android Froyo Sense ROMs or Gingerbread AOSP ROMs are your best bet (Hyperdroid and Nexus HD2 are my personal favorites). I'm currently running WP 7.5 and have not experienced any hangups with the OS or any applications. Overall, the HD2 handles WP7.5 really well but you have to be able to live with no compass, buggy multi-touch, and mediocre pictures.
i actually need a working gps (i use sygic on Android currently),
a working camera (i don't care about hd video recording, but still photo should be good), a music player that can at least play songs without cracking (i don't care quality of music) and perfectly working phone/data/internet/wifi.
rest...if functions r not present....i can live with that..

Hey man, don't worry most roms if not all work pretty good the hd 2s battery is not the best but I've just learned to live with it. it depends on how you use it if you play a lot of games then your battery won't last very long I listen to music all day sometimes. I've had android on this hd 2 for a year so far hyper rom is my favorite gingerbread rom an pure cm very smooth rom I'm using a ics rom now an love it.
ok... so i guess I'll be buying out my friend's used hd2 then. (he never flashed anything....so I'll take it and straightaway tear it apart...multibooting, overclocking everything....)
it's THE most hacked phone in the world...and i really wanna own it.
i believe it still has a long way to go....

RE WP7.5. Check the threads & you'll see that the battery life has not been resolved yet and also camera is not 100% yet - some are actually pretty poor.
Some comparisons of AD to WP6.5 seem to indicate the WP6.5 has better phone reception.
GPS AD or WP6.5 seem to be ok. Depends what you want from it. Some, like google maps can use a lot of data as you travel unless you download via wi-fi first. So take care if you have a limited data plan. But there are plenty of navigation apps that rely on onboard maps.
Even AGPS can really hurt on a limited data plan if it is not switched off!!!
I have tried several of the Android roms, but have shied away from wp 7 and 7.5 due to the lack of apps, and inablilty in 7.5 to modify the MMS settings (HTC Sensation that belonged to a customer turned me off of 7.5). The integration with Windows 8, which I beta tested, was nice, but that was about as far as that went. Between Apple and Android, there is an app for everything.
I have used MIUI, which I liked, except for the lack of an APP drawer (fixed with ADW Launcher)
Nexus ICS, which was good, except that the phone would freeze and reboot if I hung up a call with the headset plugged in.
SuperOSR is my favorite, but it has a lot of random reboots in areas with multiple wi-fil signals;
And the one I always come back to, TyTungs CM7. It is the most stable, and fastest, and seems to have the best battery life. ICS has the worst, but is definitely the best looking. Also, I found that you can't restore from 2.3.7 to 4.0 in titanium backup. The others do this very well.

I've been looking for a new device for a while (my magic is pretty outdated), I was pretty set on a Nexus until I walked in to a Vodafone store to kill some time and played with an HD2. I really much prefer the form factor and having a massive screen.
Is there anything stopping any of you from using Android as your daily driver?
Looking at the release notes of most builds it seems that everything's working, correct? Are there any problems with playing media? It's not an issue if I have to boot in to WinMo for watching a movie or something, but I'd rather not do for music and youtube.
the battery drain with hd2 under android is pretty high.
with some builds the power doesnt even last a day..
DN41
The clock in froyostone doesn't work as much. I tried to use the alarm but it never works.
Honestly... I love my HD2, but my answer will be "NO".
If the only thing you want is Android, get a native Android phone.
Wait for this: http://www.htc.com/us/products/evo-sprint
Now if you want the best of both worlds - WinMO AND Android - then the HD2 is the best choice, by very far, no other phone comes close.
This said, I'm using Android for daily use on my HD2 with this build:
Bangster 1.3 based on CyanogenMod 6.0.1
I just changed the settings back to 240 dpi, but it's the best I've tried so far, and everything works without a single crash for now. What's so great in this CyanogenMod based build is notably the build in graphic equalizer for all audio, something normal Android doesn't have. And fun thing, the equalizer/compressor/spacializer works better than the WinMO one.
Just have a little patience.the big event is tomorrow.HTC is presenting its upcoming handsets and HTC desire HD is one of them supposedly.

For me man it's worth it!
I use now android as my primary OS; i have small screen freezes (from 10 to 20sec) maybe once or twice a day but i can live with that! (winmo used to do worth )
Besides it has higher benchmark results than even Nexus one!
Ok it may not be as reliable as an native android phone but believe me it's really fast and smooth!
The best built i have used (and still using at this moment) is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773790
It's a nexus build too!
By the way! Yes the ONLY and BIGGEST problem for me is the battery drain (it is heavy on every android phone); if you are willing to recharge a lot go for it! (HD2 andro or an andro phone)
I've been using android on my HD2 for about 2 weeks now. Because i sit at a desk all day it's easy for me to keep the phone charged, but I can tell that battery drain would be an issue if I didnt have this luxury. The phone itself is a piece of art, and for me it's totally worth it to run android. The only issues i experience are the occasional screen freeze (the touchscreen stops responding, but buttons work. After about 10 seconds it responds again. Happens maybe 1-2x per day, livable) and I've had to reboot it about every other day to fix bluetooth hiccups and such. Im not a fan of having to reboot phones that much even though it's easy, but hey at least I get android right? Sometimes I just reboot it for no reason just to start the day off fresh.
Theres no other phone like this available other than a jailbroken EVO 4G, and even then you are carrier limited. I love getting 3.5G on my HD2, since I have t-mobile and therefore the phone is compatible with their network. I probably wouldnt want it so much if I could'nt access the cellular broadband network.
hey OP, i would tell you something! why would you buy a nearly one year old phone???? on top of that u know that it would not be supported for the new win 7 and android on it , well... it works but not how it should. i mean with its freezes and battery drain.
The best thing to do if you want an android phone is get an android phone!!!!!
you are tempted for a large screen, then wait for the htc desire hd (same as the evo). It is expected in the coming weeks ( before the end of the yr for sure).
getting a hd2 FOR android??
nope, wait for desire hd.

If you like android, buy a native android phone. If you like windows and want the possibility to sometimes try out android, but the HD2. The android on HD2 is never going the be as smooth as a native phone. Period!

I agree. Buy a native android phone. There are plenty out there.
In the US, if you are on Tmous, my humble belief is that HD2 is the best Android phone. Galaxy S is disappointing, and My touches, not so much. This could change, but right now I've been running Android exclusively. However, spend some time reading your particular android thread (several pages) so you get to understand the glitches and the workarounds. I've been running my setup now continuously for about 1 month, and will continue to update Android as it gets refreshed. The developers are fantastic in that thread, and the hardware is still some of the highest spec'd stuff out there.
Another thing is the price. I bet the DesireHD will be £400+. HD2 is around £200,might get the hd2 just because its so much cheaper

HD2 is far from the "best" Android phone available on TmoUS.
I have a Nexus one and an HD2...and my wife has the Vibrant. They all have their ups and downs...but I think once you throw LauncherPro and root/lag fix the Vibrant it completely smokes the HD2 in both fluid performance and visual display.
I still tinker with my Nexus...my G1 and my MT3G are retired permanently to the closet and I use my HD2 as my daily device running FroyoStone v1 and have not touched Winmo since the first stable desire build that darkstone made in early/mid July...I was one of the ones who bought my HD2 on launch day KNOWING that Android would come sooner than later, but if I had it to do again...I would have probably waited for the Vibrant to have a solid Android device.
As far as battery life...I can get a consistent 18 hour day out of my phone with 25-30% battery left with moderate usage...My HD2 gets much better battery performance than both my Nexus and my wifes Vibrant which have AMOLED and SAMOLED screens.
Now to answer your question...should you buy an HD2 for the sole purpose of running android as apposed to buying an Android phone?...If you like to tinker with gadgets and don’t get frustrated when things may not go right the first time or two...then by all means, get the HD2 and enjoy. If you want something that is going to give solid performance out of the box without any hassles...then go with the Vibrant and enjoy. I dont think you will be disappointed either way.
Or wait for the HTC vision aka g1 blaze

I have HD2 and Im running Android full time last week or so on this build. MCCM 1.5 build is based on FRG33 ROM (for nexus one) and I have outscored Nexus One 2.2 without overclocking CPU by at least 150-200 points on Quadrant. If overclocked I am hitting 1650-1700 easily where Nexus (non-clocked is) about 1250-1300 Quadrant scores.
I think it is worth of shot unless you simply want Android that updates itself instead of having Windows Mobile which you may not use.
FYI I prefer to have WinMo on the side as I have GarminXT - which I prefer over any navi over data on the Android OS.
I guess it is up to you and what really you want ... There is Galaxy with 4.0" screen with an Android OS which still works pretty good... Your choice...
Ill start by saying this is just a poll or rather an opinion getter. I prefer Stock froyo because it imo operates better and looks better.
When I first started I like stock better because it was way more customizable. Nowadays I'm using sense version by mdeejay because I felt he fixed the freeze issues completely. Stability was a big thing for me. Personally, sense looks much better but I hate that u can't customize it. once the freeze issue is fixed in stock versions I might go back.
I like both and usually run several builds at once, but I'm using this one because of its amazing battery life.

Stock froyo is cleaner. So I can customize, sence ui feels heavy

I used to only like vanilla froyo builds, but Sense has really grown on me, especially the new Sense from the Desire HD builds. Now I use Sense build with Launcher Pro and it's just about perfect.
Sense I'd say, although the main aim is to eliminate windows altogether, I rather likes the HTC sense GUI, and the sense build does bring it back to life in a way and right now I'm using a beautiful Android build, which i have to say, been using it for a while now and hassle free, no freezes, no lag, runs better then most android phones which is quite remarkable considering its running of the SD card.
Stock for me.....and yes my hd2 Android runs better and faster than any other phone I've come across all far.....

I also think that WP7 will be an epic fail unless they can update their marketplace, that seems to be the attention grabber APPS!! ha
at any rate Linux is a definite winner in my book whether android ubuntu fedora or what ever. I just don't like MS poking its finger into everything
But i digress
I was always a fan of Stock, but since I've put on Hyperdroid Sense, I haven't looked back since. It's just so smooth, battery life is great and everything just works,... you can't argue with that.

Vanilla Is where its at...I personally don't like sense at all...I've used evo and desire hd builds but I always go back to stock froyo...currently my brother Is using my HD2, I have Nexus 2.2.1 running on it and feel like it can't get any better..

Hi guys,
While I am respecting and thanking all devs for their hard work and time , i would like to share this thread with the guys who are not happy with nand and went back to window rom with sd card based android built. and the reasons for that
I used NANDroid for the last couple of days and felt missing something. From NAND i did not get big advantages as expected.
reasons are (please do not get offended this is my personal experiance)
1.nandroid internal memory is not enough to save lot of applications
2.Even after Data.img is created in some builts using app2sd it is too laggy, i feel the lag in SD built is better than NANDroid
3.what is the point of using android alone as i could buy a cheap wildfire for £100 brand new handset.
4.some applications can not be ussed in ANDROID like tom tom and Garmin( i dearly miss TOMTOM as you all know NO.1 SATNAV in Europe
5.whatever we do the HD2 hardware is not fully support to NANDROID like native android as this phone is designed for windows
6.some SD builts like mdeejays desire HD 4.6 and cedesmiths desire HD and darkstones superRAM are better equiped than NANDROID.
7.if I use SD build android it will be 2 in 1 and i can get both experiances.
those are the reasons i went back to SD card based built which is Mdeejay desire HD 4.6.(cheers mdeejay)

hi friend
I was using that before but when you install more than 10 apps from market or back up you data you will get warning 'low memory'.
Got to disagree with you OP. I think NAND is the best thing to happen to the HD2 since android was first ported. Im using HD2one build and it freakin awesome. The battery life is also spectacular, especially in standby. Can now run a full working day (9 hrs) and still come home with 60%+ battery life, with SD i was lucky to come home with 30%. Just my 2 pennies .
Ricey
I don't have the ability to try out the NAND ROMs (broken microUSB), but I am still thrilled that it can be done by others, if only for the renewed dev interest in the HD2, and more options for people is always better. But even if I could flash an Android ROM, I think at least for now I'd stick with WinMo and SD builds (more options is better). But surely with a little time, the NAND ROMs will surpass the SD builds in terms of stability, usability, and performance overall. Once we can flash Clockwork Recovery, and use ext2 a2sd, NAND will beat SD hands down. But even with that, having WM plus several Android builds and Ubuntu on the SD is a very attractive option. For me, multi-functionality will be preferred to stability and battery life. But to each his own, more options is better. I just hope the SD builds don't fall by the wayside, they still have alot of use left in them, and for those like me, theyre the only option.
~HD2 Android~
I will most likely go back to my tried & true SD builds because you can't update these ROMs with new kernels or framework of desired launchers. And regardless of what anyone says about changing kernels, I can't do it because I have no clue what ADB is and nobody explains it.
My SD versions work just as good as these ROMs and boot up in 1/3rd the time. I kid you not, it takes on average about 4 to 5 minutes to boot the Gauner or cmylxgo ROMs. And there is no stock m-deejay DesireHD ROM.
I can see the problems of the original poster as I'm in the same situation. The gauner build is nice and all, uses little battery and is snappy enough, it is lacking some important features (like led notifications). The speed difference is not as massive between nand and a fast sd build. Gauners build is just a bit snappier than mdjs Froyo HD 4.6, but the difference is hardly worth getting rid of the advantages of an sd build in conjunction w/ Winmo.
If m-deejay did a nice NAND build of his 4.6 I'd flash it right away, but it's nowhere in sight. First reason would be a fast and snappy, stable ROM.
Soon I'll go to a roaming country that I've got Tom Tom maps for, and I don't have igo. So I'll likely flash Winmo back and get back to MDJs HD 4.6 sd build.

A week ago I thought the same, using an EU HD2, you get half the internal memory of the US phones, tried a couple of recovery roms now using Jaws MUIU recovery and all I can say is WOW...a little confusing at first setting up your sd card partitioning and the setting up the recovery bit, but once done everything runs fast, slick and reliably.
I really did want to stay with windows mobile as I thought I didn't need android, but now I have android running so well I don't miss windows anymore, best of luck with your hd2 the best device

Concerning TomTom: I do agree.. TomTom is by far the coolest Navprogramme, but Navigon for Android is actually quite good too..
Wtf lol....
NAND with data.img is much faster as a sd build,logical also:
You can see it as a pc with 2 harddrives in it,1 for the os,1 for writing data on it,so disc 1 keeps his speed (nand is this case)
I have zero lag using this method with the nand build that i use,and i am getting easy 2100 quadrant score on 998mhz ghehe.
No way that sd android is faster

Well simply put;
Compaired to the MDJ CM7 and Cotulla's Stock Rom all roms I've tested this month(about 5) are laggy, slow, have errors(applications stop working and that kind of stuff) and some don't even start. Therefor I was also thinking about creating a topic like this one, simply because it is a pain to find a good one out here these days...

the only rom ive personally got running as smooth as my mother's ipad, dads iphone 3gs, or brothers iphone 4, is hyperdroid gbx. it runs actually fastER than both iphones in side by side comparisons (angering my family), and about the same as the ipad in overall smoothness. battery is phenominal, the only rom ive gotten to last all day with my heavy usage i like to play with my phone a lot (for standby 3-5ma depending on apps running)
3 mA in standby on desireZ 3.5
I think that's the winner
also I wouldnt dare to say it is not smooth or smth
I've also tried few ROMs and for me the best one is Rafdroid HD 3.1 Lite edition (without ext partition on SD). Everything works smooth out of the box.

The best ROM for NAND I've come across. HyperDroid GBX
It is extremely light. only 60MB installation zip
It is extremely fast and responsive
It has great battery life.
I used the phone extensively for about 16 hours (all day) with about an hour of calls, around 30 SMS' some EDGE usage, a lot of wifi usage at home. It was still at 70% by the end of the day! If that isn't amazing, I don't know what is
Manages around 2-5mA in standby.
Oh and any way I can get AmeriCanDroid on NAND? :O
I miss cyanogenmod
Thanks for your support! What a great community!

Sorry guys to open the classic topic about roms, but I've tried a lot of them without finding one able to achieve a good place in my top 3. Can you suggest me a very smooth rom (like iOS) with a very low battery usage? Thank you

Moto-Mytouch4G. I've been using it for a month and its beautiful. The only one I've tried where the battery last the day for me. Very smooth very well laid out. Great nand!!!
My choice is Rafdroid 3.1 with ext4 partition. In stand by mode I have 2-4 mAh...
I think,best ROM is MDJ Cyanogenmod 7,smooth and most battery saver ROM what I have tested with lot of settings.
IMO, this is by FAR the best/smoothest build out. I've tried many, and this ROM is the baddest of all. The battery consumption is better, and all around functionality is good.

Iamgpc pure gingerbread with adw launcher ex 1.21. App drawer is very very smooth, fast screen scrolling and all works for me.
Writing from My HD2 mounting Hyperdroid. Just awesome!

I like AmericanDroid. It's a SD build based on CyanogenMod7.
I've been using it and it works fine either out of the box or with ext partitions.
I am currently using android on my hd2 and i was thinking of trying wp7. My only use is sms calls browsing abd facebook which i could do also do with wp.

latest WP7 is fast but off course bugs will always be there with custom ROM heck even RUU ones have bugs.
you have to charge everyday with WP7 as is for Android, see the link below it might help.
oh BTW you can dual boot if you like.
WP7 is stable and fast and everything works on the HD2.
However, after trying WP7 for a month, I went back to Android (MIUI) for two reasons:
1. Battery drain on WP7 was really bad, wouldn't even get a normal day's use from the battery without having to charge it by mid-afternoon.
2. There just isn't the scope of apps available, and (a personal reason, I know) there were some specific apps I need that I couldn't get for WP7.
The interface is slick and fast, app loading stable, and if some of my niggles were resolved I'd consider going back.
Peace

The battery can be problematic, but can easily be overcome with some tweaks and a spare battery, its not as much of a pain as you might think, and given that the HD2 had the luxury of being able to swap out batteries unlike some other phones its at least worth considering
if you are only doing as you suggest, FB, SMS, calls, an a bit of browsing. The WP is ideal, in fact id go as far as saying it was made for you out of the box WP beats the others hands down for such usage, it becomes somewhat more grey when you look at expanding on that but that situation will only get better with time.
I think even the most critical critics of WP agree that its people hub social integration (ie phone usage!) is unrivalled out of the box.
Im using it with WP for my main OS and carry a spare battery in my pocket (the cheapest one from ebay with external charger)
i using android but my friend got wp7 for me its better android for him wp7 when i buy my hd2 have wp7 in the same day i flashed for android for me no more win on phone
I would stick with android because it is so versitile. Wp7 is ok but i would say its more for the simple minded i guess i would say. I love android only if it had all the app thats iphone has it would be the best os out there.

1oo% agreed on your words
Android
Stick with android so much versatility as stated above and your going to have the same battery drain with either op, Android is definitely the way to go
Stick with Android as WP7 , isnt as stable as Android
WP7 is very smooth and stable
but it does not have enough good apps
Correction, WP is very smooth, stable and out of the box has good functionality, if your wanting a phone with social abilities then its spot on, it does lack expandability though.
Android and WP have there uses, and both are very good at different things, any one that says one or the other is generally bad can and should be ignored
