I'm trying to find difference to the most popular HD2 windows Phone ROM's, but i can't seem to find much differences. Can someone try to explain it ?
I have tried the following ROM's:
[ROM] Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki][Updatable]Build 8107 Ready
[ROM][21LANGS] 05.01.12 HD2O© v1.26 WP7 8107 FULLY UNLOCKED [online]
[ROM] DFT UltraFruit
06.FEB HD2 Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.5 mango 7.10.8107.79 v7.3 >FULLY UNLOCKED>CABS Update>
Edit: Forgot Pdaimatejam
and you forgot best ROM Pdaimatejam ROM 8107 v7.3
differences in HD2 - Windows Phone ROM's
this is a really good question. It seems that differences between Windows Phone 7 ROMs are much smaller than between Windows Mobile 6.x Roms (where different ROMs could be completely different, concerning free memory, interface (like Titanium, Manila, SPB Mobile Shell), different builds from different branches (COM2, COM5, etc.). But there are other differences that may be important:
- Back to the Future has build 7004 after flashing, so you have to update to build 8107. Advantage: no need to reflash for future updates, can be updated with cabs or Zune, customizable
- HD20: has already the latest build 8107, uses AnDim's multitouch driver v0.1.3, locks SD card (so no WP7+Android dualboot)*, no cab updates (yet)
- Ultrafruit: brings many new features, i.e. doesn't lock SD card, no camera trick required, but many people have random reboots due to new touch screen driver. Updateble, starts with build 7740
- Pdaimatejam: my personal favorite. Updateable with cabs, latest multitouch driver from AnDim (v1.0.4), build 8107, doesn't lock SD card (ability to dualboot with Android from partitioned SD card)
*not entirely true, see post #10 and 11
Izz0HD2 WP7.5 Build 7.10.8107 Public Beta v3
But why have forgotten Izz0HD2 WP7.5 Build 7.10.8107 Public Beta v3?
It is Enough simple, but worker, than and makes (imponiruet).
That possible compare.
There's little difference, backed up by the fact the main developers are now working together, everything based on ultrafruit has issues with battery and Bt, audio has been corrected in some of them, xbmod v2.1 is solid but lacks some important updates in ultra fruit, my advice is to wait for ultrafruit 2
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
When people say that a ROM doesn't "lock" the SD card does this mean that I won't have issues using the SD card in Android if I got rid of WP7? Last time I tried WP7 (Back to the Future ROM - first Mango release of it I think) I hadn't read about the SD card issues and I actually never managed to recover my SD card from it - I tried all sorts of programs and operating systems on both my PC and my phone but I never fixed it and had to buy a new one.
Now I've got a Lexar class 10 16GB card I really don't want to break it. :/
Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.5 mango 7.10.8107.79 v7.3 .. nice at this time .
more good roms gonna come in future
but can somebody tell me how is the battery under wp7? wich ROM is the most friendly with the bat? wich one lasts longer?thank you very much!
There is no correct answer to that... Depends on the radio, even location where you are...
For me best was ultrafruit... BUT! I got with it random reboots...But only on 2G. Some viliages, subway... Places where is no 3G. But the battery performance was awensome... 4days in standby. And I was using the phone... Not often but using.
The BTTF 2.1 if I changed radio to 5.51(without T) than its mutch better... Still need for the camera trick, but stable rom. With almoust no issues... I haven't tested the Pdaimatejam so there is no compare to that.
Wainting for XBMods v3 or Ultrafruit 2...

Alright, so dualboot is possible with locked sd card if you first partition it and then flash HD2O's WP7. I didn't think about that. But If so, why does it matter at all, if a ROM locks the sd card or not? It should always be possible to unlock it with SDFormatter. At least I always had success with it and others too (here's a video tutorial).

No SDFormatter doesn't work on a fully locked SDCard. Windows simply will not recognize at all, so SDFormatter does not see it. Some seem to have even had them locked and not recovered, but I've unlocked a couple using a Nokia - just for the heck of it.
Reading the many posts on the forum, this seems to have improved dramatically recently. Most roms seem to have a work around now, some easier that others.

To me a usable camera without strange hues is important - this has been addressed by DFT UltraFruit and HD2 Pdaimatejam, and maybe some other recent roms.
Also Battery life is important to me - seems to depend on which radios are used - but this can be changed anyway before install - see the threads.

Hi All,
Can we use the System.img released with NAND roms as an SD build?
I see many nice builds released right now for NAND, and a decrease in SD builds. I prefer to use SD based builds -> any solution?

There is a decrease because the NAND versions are so darn perfect and solid. I am assuming you want to continue with SD versions to keep WM 6.5 as a dual boot option? If not, then just do a NAND flash and use your SD card for what it was intended for, mass storage! NAND is the way to go, SD card is so last year! Lol!
I've actually been searching for the last couple of days for the complete opposite, converting a sd version to a nand. Already found the wonderful world of nand converting to cwm.
i would like to stick with sd version as i still havent found a fully satisfied version...i am wondering does nand will work way better and stable than sd version? because im keep changing different build to test which one is the best one out of them.
Its a matter of opinion, you have to at least have a base of what your looking for, for example, I like sense builds, not many are out there, but I try them, they all have their pros and cons, its what you can live with and what you cant. Or as many have said, make your own. I got into doing that with WinMo when I didnt like much of the builds out there. Now I may just read up on seeing about making my own build for myself.
But in short, have a base of what your looking for and go from there.
i tried to extract the system.img and put the files into a generated system.ext2, the process was successful, but the system.ext2 wont boot, it kept rebooting.
maybe there's another way to do this
Thanks for all the replies!
1. I like having both Winmo and Android although I do currently use Android more
2. I Am sure NAND builds are super-best-good-times, but I like flashing to have the latest and greatest and find it a big benefit to have WinMo at the backseat
3. Any success with this? are the kernels released for NAND compatible with SD?
It seems that most builds and work is on NAND builds I hope SD and RAM builds (which I think are the best of all worlds) won't be abandoned.
--summoner
I am also interested in this
I am also interested in doing this. I need to still have my WinMo 6.5 so I can sync my work schedule (ANDROID is NOT supported or allowed) and I have notice a significant Lag in the GPS apps I have tried (IGO, and Aura) on a NAND ROM. If any chef has the time to walk me through it I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm using WP7 and duel boot with Android on SD, I will be returning to Android Nand as my main OS, but I will still test Android SD builds booting from Magldr. The SD forum has slowed down, so I would like to convert nand to sd also. Hopefully someone will find a solution soon. Why not have the best of both. When Magdlr 1.13 comes out, there will proberbly be more interest in this area.
i would also like to do this. because there is some nand roms i would like to convert for my personal use. please someone point us in the right direction.

I, too, am interested in such a conversion (NAND ROM to SD ROM).
If there is not already an app, there will be. After all, this is XDA.
Actually guys.. you should have used the search box!
Here's a way to do that
I just bought a used euro HD2 because i tought that new phones on the market don't have what it takes to justify their 600€ price (sensation lacks gs II's power, gsII lacks sense).
Well i've been searching and reading for 6days at xda, tried over 5 SD roms and at least 10 NAND roms.
I'm starting to think that those hd2 forums, as deep as they can be, are a big FAKE.
My problems : no g-sensor and freezes while calling. I've tried a lot of fixes and tutorials and still nothing.
Also, the search thread tool is a real pain since it doesn't use the google search system anymore.
Now please, i'm everything but a noob and still i can't manage to find a solution to these problems. This is my last attempt for getting help. Can anyone link me to the solutions if they are obvious (or not).
Also i'd like to ask, is it REALLY possible to use a nand rom as a daily driver? I'm not looking for anything fancy, just some basic Froyo with htc sense.
Thanks in advance for anyone who at least reads this.
im not entirely sure why this is happening to you but my hd2 only lags on sense roms (because I have a euro hd2 and some system parts are installed to the sdcard). If you really want a sense rom and froyo then just install the stock desire rom. And yes NAND roms can easily be used as a daily driver (I see no reason to use a SD Rom unless u want to dual boot two different android roms).
IMO the best roms however are CM7 & MIUI roms with sense skins & widgets (which you can find if you search), they run so much faster than sense roms and use less system space (Hyperdroid CM7, Typhoons CM7, Any Miui Rom are some to look at). This is coming from a person whose HD2 has been dropped in water twice, with keypad lights than NEVER turn off. If my HD2 can run roms fast without issue even though its been submerged in water (and definitely taken some damage) then surely yours can. I suggest you list the roms you've actually tried and then we can take steps to help you from there

I agree. I find the CM7 by boyppc, tyween, sokolik315; MyTouch by Motoman234; Stock DesireHD 1.1.18 by cmylxgo; NexusHD2-Gingerbread by Tytung ROMs the best. Any of these can be daily drivers and very reliable.
You can also put WP7 Mango or NoDo on your HD2 and have a superb experience.
I have flashed quite a few NAND Roms and have found a few to be disappointing but for the most part I have been really happy with a lot of the time and effort that these developers have put into there Roms. I am currently using Dungphps Sense 3.0 Pyramid Rom and it still has a few bugs but has only gotten better and better with each update

Also check out these following links. Mainly Angeldeath's Rom. I am waiting for his next and most likely final update (July 22nd) which should be nearly bug free and as up to date as possible

Thanks a lot guys for replying so fast, i'm amazed.
I will make a list of all the nand roms i've tried.
I'm also thankful for all those efforts developpers are putting into their works.
But my primary problems are freezes during calls and g-sensor issues. For the rest, i don't expect a "bug free" rom since i know that the HD2 wasn't made for android and that there are of course no official android roms for this device. Besides, everything else works fine with all the roms i've tried : smoothness, speed, market, camera, data, wifi, gps (since i've applied the recently releases gps fix by tytung)...
I had no call and g-sensor issues in wm6 and wp7.
Also what wonder is why do we have to modify the flash.conf file when mentionned while there are already 3 different packages (from 150mb to 400mb).
My config is: euro hd2 / spl 2.08/ radio 2.14/ mag ldr 1.13 (maybe it is radio dependent, but i also tried with 2.08 radio)
(True2you) Out of curiosity, what is your current Rom btw?
i just flashed coredroid (about 20mins ago) and still, same problems. Now i'm about to try

You should have no problems with the CMYLXGO Rom. I have used it in the past and it was great. Good luck!
nope, didn't work either. Still had call issues and g-sensor issues.
Now i went back to a stock wm rom just to make sure. I can confirm that it's not a harware issue, both phone and g-sensor (+ auto landscape) calibrating are working in WM6.5.
I'm really lost. I think that the problems are coming from somewhere else.
I'm through testing roms, as i said, they're all running just fine except for those two things. I'll try another approach. For example, i'll scan xda "entirely" to try and find g-sensor fixes and call freeze fixes.
But then again, every time i search the "g-sensor" term in rom or general threads, the results alwas show things about "proximity sensor"...
Just trying to troubleshoot.....
The G-sensor and call problems you are experiencing are very odd. I'm sure you have already done this but if you are using CWR to install Rom's, are you wiping all of the previous information like Data, cache, system, sd-ext, dalvik cache. I am just wondering if these problems could be caused by previous Rom's that were installed on your phone. I have used CMYLXGO's Rom and found very minor issues and the current Rom I am using (Dungphp Pyramid Sense 3.0 v1.4) has neither call or G-sensor issues anymore. Sorry for all of the trouble you seem to be dealing with....
Just to chip in on this thread some I use HyperDriod-CM7-v2.0.1 for my daily ROM and have been for some months now. Check out my sig for a link to it. I have also tested a great number of ROMs on my HD2 and they all seemed to work pretty good. I have even tested several MIUI ROMs and they would be good for a daily driver also. But as member Yerdan said it is strange you are having this issue.
I've tried most every rom Pre-Sense 3 and I've never experienced these problems, the only 'call' problems I've had is the Dialer process freezing sometimes when answering a call and that was fixed by flashing Raf 1.8 instead of using the 1.9OC that the roms came with...mic gain is also an issue on Android but http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860850 fixes that issue. G-Sensor is something you're doing wrong, no offense.
Start from scratch, SD Flash an Official rom then go through the steps, flash hspl 2.08, Task 29, flash .50.14 radio, flash magldr, flash recovery (WITH THE APPROPRIATE SIZE FOR YOUR ROM) and then flash your rom; if all that is done correctly, it's a user/hardware issue, the only other problem you can run in to by starting fresh is not flashing the proper things, not flashing the proper sizes or not clearing out the proper data on your SD card (Android/Data folders and such on your SD card can cause it not to boot)

That brought to mind something about these Android ROMs on HD2...never calibrate the G-Sensor. If anyone does, lay if face down to calibrate it. Otherwise it will be funky if calibrated normally.

For the Coredroid. Don't download V3. Go for V1.6 Froyo. Best Rom, bug free to the point of only one issue that i know off, USB connection thingy, but on Pc you just click "Continue without Scanning."

Just to clear things : Here are the steps i follow -
-stock wm6 flashing via "usb loader"
-panasonic sd formater (not every time)
-hspl 2.08 + radio (2.15.50.14) (not every time - only after stock rom)
-task 29 (not every time)
-magldr 1.13
-flashing recovery via magldr usb flasher option
-installing zip via sd card
What i never do (or don't get) is the switching of kernels. I'm guessing that it's already in the ROM's zip package and that it shouldn't be replaced because they're made to use as they are (my guess).
did you check to make sure you partitioned your sd correctly? also do you system partition correctly when going from 1 rom to the next? some ppl tend to skip over this so that could be a possible cause. i know there are a couple roms that if i take the sd card out while using it it wont reset my phone so maybe you could test to see if maybe something is going on with your sd card. i think Bluetopia HD found here is 1 if im not mistaken.
im not sure how you would have the same problem with so many different roms but i can say bluetopia is practically bug free. I haven't came across any as of yet.
if you want a easier list to look for android roms listed on xda go here.
to check how you partitioned your sd and fix it if needed you can use this free tool by going here.
Ok for the record of the OP
1. Did you buy a used HD2
if Yes
There are numerous threads complaining that the G sensor ( and by extension the other sensors ) DO NOT work ONLY on Android after a touch screen replacement.
They work PERFECTLY on WINMO
Perhaps thats your ISSUE...

IF your is a USED device and does not have a Touch Screen replacement...

just how has xda failed you?

First of all sire, I would say BALLS TO YOU. Having said that, I cant help but imagine your idiocy and laugh on people like you.
1) There are already numerous threads on what all is not working, You should have done your Homework before getting a 2 year old device then running free software made by people who have a life of their own and then Complaining on their face.
2) If you want perfect experience, go to WM6.5 and vent your anger at HTC support.
3) No matter what or how painful it is to search, you must do so. Failing to do so just expresses your idiocy and how much of a noob you are.
4) Having less than 200 posts and just a single thanks, i suggest you quit xda forums as you are of no use to us. And we don't owe you anything.
5) The best Sense froyo rom i found is from Qaliza Desire HD v3.0 with some tweaks from v4.0 (Figure it out yourself, SEARCH) which works no prob on my EU LEO.
I hope you will go through the following video and learn a thing or two:
XDA hasnt failed me. but maybe it may be a problem with magldr. i used maglr over and over again and i faced alot of problems my phone would freeze to the point of having to pull the battery. Gettting bootloops when watching youtube and i get an incoming call, but my solution was CLK. i used kay's hd2 toolkit and now im on clk with no problems. i switch roms alot not cause im not satisfied but because i like customization. the best rom in my opinion is Tytungs NexusHD2 gingerbread rom, but also i used Hyperdroid 2.1.0 HoneyBadger, and langthangs MIUIROM. Just read all the directions before proceeding and find the right Rom for you. PEACE
Just bit the bullet and gone back to the HD2 from the iPhone 4s - was just wondering with pdaimatejam rom can you use the old card unlock cab like you could with yukixbmod rom?
Pdamatejam ROM dont lock cards...

To add a bit more detail for future searchers, as of today, Yuki's ROM is the only commonly used ROM that locks the storage card. pdaimatejam's and Ultrafruit leave the card unlocked. You will need to use partitioning software like EaseUS Partition Master (free) to format it after the fact before Windows can use it, though. I personally recommend pdaimatejam's ROM right now. Ultrafruit is great, but a bit more buggy (reboots), and Yuki seems to have more power drain issues. (Opinion of one, though)
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a question about Pdaimatejam Mango 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.
That said, my question is, Can i use the link below to install Android on SD after installing Pdaimatejam ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815
I have read Yuki Back to the future ROM locks SD card and we will have to send Unlock cab and then install android. Also it was said, once we reboot the phone, the sdcard will be locked again.
Does Pdaimatejam ROM have the same problem??
basically i am trying to install WP7 on NAND and Android on SD.
Thanks

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:
up until now i'm still using his Tango 7.5 version which is what I also used in my tutorial below.

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

Hi guys! I need an advice both from Windows and Android users.
I used to run Gingerbread on my Leo (NexusHD2 by Tytung) with nativeSD, and I didn't update to ICS or JB because I didn't want it to become laggy (I suppose they are heavier than GB).
Yesterday, my sdcard got broken (actually it became write-protected for no reason on earth, and I couldn't find any way to unlock it or format it, even though I tried with every solution I found on the internet), so I just bought a new one, which will arrive tomorrow; I've read on xda that class4 Sandisk cards are the best ones for smartphones, because they have a higher random speed, whereas class6 and class10 have higher sequential speed but lower random speed. So I bought a 32GB Sandisk class4.
ANDROID PART
1) Now, given that card, do you think I will be able to run smoothly Jellybean (if I find a good stable ROM)? Or do you think it is just too heavy? (If I'm not mistaken ICS, JB, Kitkat are all optimized for multi-core CPUs, and we have a single core with relatively low ram...)
2) If you think I can update to JB without having lags as soon as I install a few apps, would you recommend me a good, stable and fast nativeSD ROM? I'm looking for something very basic, without built-in apps or other crap, I just want the simple, original OS and I will install apps that I need later.
WINDOWS PHONE PART
Since I'll have plenty of space now, with 32GB, I thought to give Windows Phone a shot, since I use Windows 8 on my laptop and I've been told that WP is a very light and not power-demanding OS.
So my idea is a dual boot through nativeSD with Android as favourite OS (since it's the one I'm used to) and WP as second OS, to see if it can fit my needs.
Could you recommend me a good, stable and fast nativeSD ROM? I'm looking for something very basic, without built-in apps or other crap, I just want the simple, original OS and I will install apps that I need later. Besides, is there a stable WP8 for HD2 or just WP7?
Thank you very much for any help. I hope to come to a decision today because tomorrow I'll get the new sdcard and I want to do ll the flashing in one time, without having to repartition the sdcard later
hi
i dual booted my hd2 a while ago.
if u want my opinion, windows phone will not come in use.
but! i still have it on my phone.
i use hd2o as winphone and tytung's nexusHD2 v2.7 (android 4.2.2) as nativeSD android. (i have a 16gb toshiba class 4 microsd card)
there is no winphone 8 available so far, and since DFT and a lot of developers are no longer supporting HD2, i dont think it will be available ever!
A lot of people use pedijamas winphone and say its awesome, but i haven't, and i have no time to switch.
kitkat is still beta, and some features do not work. A few days ago I installed nexusHD2 v3.3 (android 4.3) on my friends phone (nand, CLK sandisk 8gb class 10) and it was great.
but!!!!
my android is not that good. its slow and laggy.
conclusion:
1. Do not install winphone and magldr. instead install CLK and android (nexusHD2 is great, i think v2.7 is still better than v3.3)
2. Install winphone, and android. (i suggest install a few androids and see which one works better, i think 2.3.3 will be better though)
3. Install winphone alone, its fast, and by fast, i mean like FAAAST! but, its not android, so apps and ui will make u sick after a while! :S

Thank you for the reply! A few questions:
1a. In Tytung's v3.3, are the WiFi and 3G/HSPDA traffic indicator arrows in the status bar still not working or did he fix them?
1b. Why not magldr? I thought it would be better since it allows to "unlock" the 576MB RAM in EU HD2s (and I see that Tytung himself uses magldr )
2. Is WinPhone available just in NAND? No nativeSD ROMs?

1a: i'm not sure, since i use nexushd2 v2.7, and it works just fine. (also i don't think its a big deal! i never noticed those arrows!)
1b: i dont know how did you find out that tytung uses magldr!!!! i my self use magldr, its great. but i believe if you just want to use android, CLK is a better option. new roms (4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4) wont fit on nand, so you have to make an ext4 partition and put your data on sd. just your system partition goes to nand, so i think it doesn't make any difference to unlock 576MB RAM. and also i don't know if CLK unlocks it or not! (sorry for my lack of info!)
2: i know this one!!!! )
nope, WinPhone is just available on nand, sadly!

Thanks again! Eventually I asked directly to Tytung and he answered me that it was just an aesthetic thing and the he wouldn't fix it because Google themself removed them in the following versions. I installed the v3.3 and so far it's GREAT (like every Tytung's work)!
I guess he's using MAGLDR from what he writes at the end of his threads, but it's just a guess. Anyway, I'm forced to use nativeSD because some time ago I had continuous crashes even after Task29 and fresh install of Tytung ROMS, so I guess I have some bad blocks in my NAND after 4 years of heavy usage. I hoped to give WP a shot because I've read it's blazing fast, but I'll be happy with my JB 4.3 CM 10.2 :laugh:

see, nexusHD2 is still awesome!
lucky me! i never had any problem with my nand!
if you have to use nativesd, it makes no difference if u use magldr or clk.
if you want to install WP, you have to install MAGLDR, but the problem is that it will wipe your sd and partition it to an unknown partition type. so back up your data before ding so!
have fun.
if i helped, i'm glad!
