hay guys sorry id some of you get mad for me posting this here but this is the only place i know my qustion will get answered. OK im new to the windows phone deal. i have a mytouch slide and a g1 rooted so i under that hole part here is my ?.
From what i have read on the forums only build roms work with the hd2. well i would like to put android on it but after looking around most the roms on here and the links on here for putting android on the phone all lead to the LEO forum is the correct or no if not can someone tell me were to get the most resent android rom for the hd2 usa, now there seems to be two ways of installing it one is from sd card and 2 is from boot i would like to do it from boot any help would be grate thanks all and happy modding

Someone correct me if I am wrong...
There are not TWO ways of doing android.
Android is ALWAYS installed on the SD card. The only way to "boot" to it is to have your WM configured to boot the two files from your SD card required to run it, in essence there are a few apps that can do this at WM startup.
You will still need an Android friendly Windows Mobile ROM, so the stock from will not work. You also need a compatible radio.
I would check out the HD2 Android Dev forum for more info though.

The Android port cannot replace the WinMo OS just yet. The only way is to install it to your SD Card and it will run off of that. There are apps that allow you to choose between WinMo and Android on bootup. The LEO Android forum is correct since Android builds do not matter which device it is booted on.
Android is able to run on the Stock ROM, but people have said it runs better with a different ROM/Radio.
The build I recommend is Energy ROM / Radio 2.12.50.02_2 and an Android Build of your choice, but you can always run it on the Stock if you feel like it.

+1 EnergyROM w/ 2.12.50.02 radio works very nicely for me.

I would look Here (FroyoStone thread) first and see how you like it. Latest release Sep 2nd.

Also when you download the Rom your prob wanna need the rmnt version. Froyostone is the best my far for me and bootloaders are for people with more then one Android Rom on there sdcard

Android permanent on the HD2?

Hi all,
I am absolutely new in this world of Android ROM's and have respect for those guys who are able to make Android work on the HD2 but I have a question.
Is it ever going to be possible to flash an Android ROM on the HTC HD2 so it is permanently installed so overwriting Windows Mobile?

dude... check the sticky:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817261
in short, yes it should be coming soon, but it's possible that it will take some more time for NAND roms (internal memory "install") to be better/faster/more complete than SD

Hi,
Okay, thanks. Would be great when they succeed flashing an Android ROM on the HD2.
Now I got the taste of Android I don't want to go back to Windows. There is so much more possible with Android. Tons of apps and really nice looking and usefull apps.

[Q] Question on MAGLDR and CLK - WP7 and NAND Android switchback

Hi Guys,
Hope someone can help me understand step in moving between WP7 to NAND android and back to WP7.
I love the devs which come out and constantly change my roms and and currently have WP7 nand and SD android which is great but I'm falling in love with using android compared to WP7
So I want to flash a NAND android using CLK but I want to know can I go back to WP7 at a later stage, meaning can i uninstall and remove the partitions that CLK creates.
I won't install CLK if the partitions are going to be permanent which will restrict it's flexibility.
I have been using WinMo since the first XDA hit the UK market almost 10 years go and I want to go back to WP7 when it matures a little bit with features and the bugs from zune are gone and probably when mango comes out .... and hopefully the very capable DFT do what thier best at
Can anyone help with some information. And in case you are wondering I have digging for this information through the forums and haven't been lucky to have an understanding on the partitions restoring bit ....
Thankyou in advance

Hi,
Please refer to my sig... Guide number 2.
You can post there as well, if you have any difficulties.
You can always revert back by flashing a stock ROM, and undo any bootloader you install.

[Q] NOR vs NAND

Hi , I have HD2 and I want to install android OS on it. I found a lot of solutions on this website like booting from SD Card and NAND solutions, but I have one question. Is there any NOR version installation and in general which is better NOR or NAND ? Sorry for this maybe general question but I need help and I would also wanted to consult with you . Thanks , every help is appreciated.

Hi there mate.!
Never heard anything about the NOR version that you are talking sorry
There are 2 ways to install Android OS in your device and they are posted in sub-forums in here and i think you have already saw them
The SD version is if you don't want to leave wm6.5 but wanna give Android a try!
(thats the easiest way to install it)
And the NAND version if you have decided that you want Android OS in your mobile and ofc Android will have much better performance in NAND than SD
PS: my opinion is if you don't want mw6.5 anymore go read some posts and install the NAND version cause you will have much much more performance
I hope i helped

there are no nor versions, you on about running a version in ram ?

Hi and thanks for a quick reply and more than helpful answers. I need to ask you several more things. Since I want to install NAND version, because of the performance, I need the latest version . I saw several instructions for 2.2 and 2.3 android. Can you give me the link to the 2.3 newest installation link. Also is there any known issue after installation (like no wireless network, or some applications doesn't work...)

best off looking in the dev section, depends on whether you want a sense rom or not

As Richy said there are sooo many roms for you to try
The 2.3.5 rom for me is the most stable if you want your phone to work 100% 24/7 with no battery consume!
Now its up to you if you want Sense 2.2 or 3 if you want MIUI or Gingerbeard or or or or or
For me it goes like this :
1:Go to NAND sub-forum
2: Find a good and updated Rom for your mobile (at the front of each title its the release day) enter it and read the full description the dev gives you and to all the steps!!!!
3: for correct use of your wifi,gps,etc.....find a good kernel (Most devs gives you a kernel of their choise with their ROM)
Thats all you need to know...all you have to do is read the hole post carefully
And just an opoinion..if you want a fast and stable (not a fancy one) ROM go for a MIUI and a good one is this Mwakious
and this is Kefir's Kernel
Good luck and if you need anythink PM me

When the T-Mobile version is mentioned, it is purely indicating that it is a TMOUS HD2 with 1024 MB ROM and the T-Mobile logo on the top. The carrier doesn't matter

Are you sure that carrier doesn't matter , US has different frequencies , and this is T-mobile US (TMOUS). If the carrier doesn't matter ,can I then install in switzerland on orange HD2 according to the procedure for T-Mobile new gignerbread ?
If not can someone give me some links for my HD2 please. I searched NAND 2.3 android but some of the topics are from 2010 and some of them after installation have various types of problems.
Thanks !

Hi there, I was exactly where you were 3 weeks ago. I picked up a second HD2 as my WM HD2 phone is heavily loaded with apps and files etc. and I did not want to risk stuffing it. I played with a couple of versions with HTC Sense but then tried TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 and found it smaller, faster and more stable + much slicker than WM.
After just 3 days and a few new apps like Swype and Wi-Fi tethering, I cut over to droid forever. Next I will do my original HD2 to make it a mirror backup.

As long as you have a TMOUS phone, you can install the T-Mobile US version. As for the Android ROM, have you even looked in the NAND Development forums? There are tonnes of ROMs, none of them even remotely old, which work perfectly. Take Typhoon CM7 or Hyperdroid, for example.

winmo7 adhoc support and dual boot w/ android

hi guys!
its been a long time since I had the pleasure of visiting xda all the way back to 2006 when I flashed my HTC Artemis most every week....
well now I got my hands on a TMOUS with ultimate android rom 2.3.3 with MAGLDR 1.13
Now to my nOOb question....
as android has some what limited support for adhoc wifi and I need it badly (hd2 connect to my laptops shared wifi), I want to flash winmo7 on my hd2. I've searched and searched and I can't seem to find if its ok to flash winmo7 an an already flashed android 2.3.3 for dual boot. And then we have the rom size...do I need to make the partition bigger if I want to keep the android rom aswell...I think I do right?
But I think I know pretty simple how to just flash winmo7 straight on the hd2 if all above fails. the big question and I hope I'm right...
Winmo7 supports adhoc wifi right (hd2 connect to a adhoc wifi on laptop )?
thanks
Zozew

You need to flash wp7 first, xbmod rom,, then change partition size, then install droid to the newly created partition space on sd card, you will lose everything so use a backup program
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

ok I kinda thought so after reading up a bit. I downloaded the 8107 winmo7 rom will that one be ok? and would you happen to know about the adhoc support?
Thanks a million

WP7 and Android doesn't support adhoc wifi, they are only supported by WM and iOS, as far as i know. My WP7 phones, one HTC Titan & one HTC HD2 they don't see the adhoc wifi from my second HD2 running WM 6.5. My laptop can find and connect to the same adhoc wifi from HD2 with no problems.
