Most stable android rom? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hey,
So I switched to another phone like 4months ago and now my father wants to have my HD2, so I need a really stable rom.
Im not really informed on what is there for the hd2 at the moment, so I thought I just ask.
I dont need a rom thats fast, well it shouldnt be too slow but it should be really bug free and stable so that he does not run into any problems.
Any suggestions?

Normally I would flame you for asking a stupid and over-asked question, but since I'm in a nice mood I'll tell you to stick to MIUI and CM7 ROMs, ICS is slow, Sense is (in my opinion) slower than other ROMs and there really isn't any point in using anything else. Try some of the SD versions of all the ROMs (you may like Sense as well) and you will find the right one. I personally use Typhoon CM7
Oh and in future, if you ever feel like 'just asking' in the future, ask the search bar first

I can also +1 on the passing on flaming, also Typhoon is a great GB rom

Make that 3 for 3 on wanting to torch the poor guy ...
I do, however, agree ... Try either Typhoon or (imo) Hyperdroid ... Not much (if anything missing, not working, or otherwise not good) in these roms. Both great builds!!!

I tried any kind of rom.
sense is not heavy like they say, and is still the best rom...
miui IMO is the best rom for hd2, light, faster than cm7 and sense, now is bug free...miui is my suggestion

Miui.... Hyperdroid... Cm7 I recently got my hd back from the jtag service, which was great..... and im running miui right now .... have tried all three of these though A sense rom set up properly can be pretty fast though

Hi
give Haldric v3 a chance, it's the best rom next to stock.
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Ever since I switched from windows mobile to android ... I recommend a fast and stable version of MIUI Langthang.

Agree. +1. Very nice and stable ROM

I've had good experience with the Typhoon CM7 ROM and the DorimanxROM (although this one is a bit harder to install if you want to have the high-performance version).
It seems that MIUI is worth a shot as well, but I personally never tried it.
As already mentioned, just try some different SD card versions and when you find one that you like, finally flash a NAND version of it.

[Q] CRAZY idea, but I want it!

Hey all!
Is it at ALL possible to either flash the ROM from the Touch Pro II or find a way to install Windows Mobile 6.0 or 6.1 onto the HTC HD2? I NEED stability in my ROM and this is what I really want to try.
I know I've been asking a lot of questions on this site regarding this phone, but I want you all to know I truly value your answers and your help.
Thank you guys!
Well have you tried the ROMs that are known to be stable? Theres quite a few..
Also maybe try titanium (windows default) if you're looking for simple, basic stability.
I have. I've tried four or five and they just get to be too slow. I like the Windows Mobile 6.5.5 builds but they just get to be laggy at times, and for a phone with a 1GHz processor I'd expect a whole lot more.
I don't know, I was just wondering what 6.0 or 6.1 would operate like on the HD2. That or find SOMETHING that's very quick and very stable.
Try Dutty's cdlc or UnOff.. What are you using the phone for? (work, eye-candy, both?)
I'm not sure about 6.1, can't see why anyone would want that on this device.
BTW, nice location just a few miles away from me..
Oh WOW! You ARE close to me! Haha, 253! Neat
I really want to use it for multimedia and texting first and foremost. After that I really just want to use it for internet browsing and photo uploading. Well, MMS capabilities are a must too.
After messing around with the ROMs I did, I jusst started to panic about making the wrong choice on the phone. I had hoped I didn't, however I want to take FULL advantage of the processor speed and the RAM. Definitely. Problem is, nothing works! AGH!
I'm currently using UnOff... and texting is still god-awful.
Have you tried Swype? Its a dream to work with once you get to know it. In fact, the reccord for txting was recently broken with Swype! I use Energy rom (The "unstable" 6.5.5 ver) and I do need to reboot the phone about once a week, but thats still a LOT less then my 6.1 Tilt. You really REALLY dont want to go back too 6.1, trust me. The OS does not have a lot of features needed for good use of the hardware in the HD2.
P.S. Woodinville and work in Redmond. Seattlites stick togeather!

Yeah UnOff is a good ROM, you could also try Laurentius26ROMs
SUP SUP WASHINGTONIANS!
Anyways, try the Omega XT Roms, indie updates them constantly and they are pretty good.
Oh wow, look at all of us Washingtonians here! WOW!
I'll try the UnOFF ROM again, or even an Energy ROM. I just want this to work and I'm sure you all understand why
Thank you guys for all your help! I'll let you all know what happens.
I would suggest either the Miri 17.6 rom which is very stable and fast and has great eye candy or VBN rom series. I currently running VBN and it's great. Very stable, no crashes, fast. I think you would like either one of them. They are both located on the Euro HD2 rom side, not the TMOUS HD2. Both are compatible with 576 ram and 1gig storage. Check them out.
try kwbr Roms ... I am on 4.0.1 version
Stock like ROMs
CruzerHD rom
What you are looking for is the CruzerHD rom my friend. Super fast, stable, and very very slim on memory (only 35mb used after flash).
Rom is not about eye candy but about speed/performance. You add what you want yourself.
CruzerHD premium rom v.9
Wow, guys, it looks like I have quite a bit of ROMs to try out! I really appreciate your time, y'all rock it!
try kwbr at htpedia.com
com2 version 21914 htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1692&page=102
I've tried them ALL! THIS ONE IS STABLE. period.
wow! there are a lot of washingtonians here! my mom and sister were born in WA, and i lived in Lacey for most of my grade school years. I almost became a Husky but decided i'd rather do grad school there and hopefully work for MS someday... Thats the dream anyways...
But, back on topic. I dont believe 6.0/1 is possible because the HD2's HAL is not compatible with with any 6.0 devices. basically, you'd have to re-write all the drivers in the Hardware Abstraction Layer so that they can talk with the 6.0 ROM. its the same reason WinPhone7 will probably never make it to our phones. ya see, there are no "generic" drivers for phones. thats why only phone with similar hardware can share ROMs.
i say use kumars ROM. its my personal fav
Man I know how OP feels, I was looking for a ROM & flashed Energy & it works like a dream! But now that I have Froyo 2.2 on here I hardly ever switch off of Android. It totally lives up to the hype!
Yeah WA!
I feel that a lot of the custom Roms have too much, well, customization. What you need is the barebones. Check this one out. Been using it since June and I have't had any slowdowns yet.

Goodbye MDJ - Welcome Pongster's HyperDroid-CM7

After a long time of a love / hate relationship with MDJs_CyanogenMod7_v.2.6_NAND_A2SDCWM ROM, I have now switched to Pongsters latest HyperDroid-CM7-v1.0.2 and OH BOY; what a revelation!
To anyone here who, like me has been deliberating about switching from MDJ's excellent (but buggy!) ROM to an alternative CyanogenMod ROM, here me now!
I had read / re-read Pongsters thread & liked a lot of what he said:-
...In the spirit of the open source community, allow me to share and give back to something I enjoy participating in .... THIS is NOT a PORT... its Completely Built FROM SOURCE, Fully Optimized and Tweaked for the HD2!

Good words, excellent thread with the developer actually present & responding to questions, so, I bit the bullet & took the plunge! I backed up everything using Titanium first though - just in case
Installed the new ROM via CWM - waited (very!) anxiously ......
WOW! Pongsters HyperDroid-CM7-v1.0.2 simply blows away MDJ's ROM - its a no brainer! Its faster, and soooo much smoother!
(Have to say I hated the miniscule font that the ROM comes with, but this is an easy change! - Sorry Pongster!)
I cant believe it - now I can access my HD2 via FTP & WiFi and - when I finish a call of more than a few minutes, my phone no longer locks up! These issues really pi**ed me off with the MDJ build.
OK - you have to install CWM Recovery but that's so easy & there are several videos on YouTube showing how to do it. Once you have CWM you can try out any CWM rom! Simples!
In fact, after I had installed HyperDroid-CM7-v1.0.2 & did a NAND backup I switched back to the old MDJ ROM- just as a comparison! That lasted about 10 mins & now I use HyperDroid-CM7-v1.0.2 as my daily ROM.
I was nervous about making the change & became very "forgiving" for the MDJ rom and its well documented issues, however after the last "battery removal" (when the HD2 locked up yet again after a 10 minute phone call) I simply ran out of patience!
My HD2 is like a new phone! Cheers Pongster
I hope that this post helps others, who like me was "sitting on the fence" waiting for MDJ to return & continue work on his ROM.
Cheers
I'm sure MDJ would probably have the best CyanogenMod ROM out right now if he was actually allowed on here and if he abided to the GPL. He's not just off taking a break btw.
I was loyal to MDJ roms for quite some time back before nand but eventually switched.
First I went to Ultimate Droid which was brilliant for a while but when that got updated to version 3 it seemed to be very buggy. I was using TyphooN CM7 for some time which is excellent but I've recently switched to Pongster's HyperDroid CM7. I've not really noticed any big differences between HyperDroid & TyphooN. Both seem really fast and stable and I'd recommend either of them but with HyperDroid I do need to change the LCD Density back to original 240 - It's way to small.
IMO they're the best Android Roms currently available and I've tested a lot of different roms.

I don't know what issues you're talking about in the MDJ CM7 rom, everything worked for me! I didn't have any issue other then the usual rare app not working with gingerbread, that it happens with all gingerbread roms, I just needed a rom with support from the dev, so I had to move on. I just switched to the ultimatedroid 3.1.1 v2, and every seems to be working fine, I like to test out a rom for a few days before I can move on, so if I'm not satisfied by mid week I'll move on, maybe I'll give the pongster rom a try next!
I didn't have too many bugs with MDJ's build, but typhoon CM7 v2.6.2 is IMO far and away the best ROM right now, although to be honest I haven't given Pongsters build a fair shake.
I'm currently using an old MDJ 2.0 version. I would like to try this build or Typhoon but can I just flash it with CWM without doing something with the Ext2 or 3 on my sd-card? Just flash with clean cache??
Ciao
it's not that stable, and the fon is verry small/ forced closed on first boot

I've tried all of the above, and IMO Typhoon CM7 is the best Gingerbread build out. The battery life is great, very customizable, and rarely is ever lags. It's probably the most stable, reliable builds I've tried.
Crawlingcity's, and Pongster's builds are close seconds though.
I have to agree with the OP! MDJ did make great ROMs back in the "early" android for HD2 days, now other chefs are contributing to the scene with great, stable ROMs.
I have tried most Ginger builds, but I still find the Ginger series from BOYPPC to be the best for my needs. Closer to "stock CM7" and not skinned to death Yea, and this is the only HD2 Ginger ROM (to my knowlege) with a working FM radio. Other then that, the ROM is fast, stable and clean, and with great battery life.

Ok, maybe the HyperDroid isnt looking good (?) but, you can change everyting so you like it.
Boys and girls try Hyperdroid v10 and you will never ever search for other builds.
i agree with OP!!
pongsters rom always smooth n fast
I have never lasted with build as long as I have kept MDJ's, it just works perfect!!!
Not to say it has no bugs, but it is very stable, probably the fastest, most stable rom I’ve had yet, and I had quite a few before his!
but the new futures are forcing my hand at a change and I have been searching for a while to find a new candidate, I know pongstar's roms are great, i used to use his on wm 6.5, but i prefer the natural look to the look he's got going for his rom and I’ve been waiting for him or someone to fix the Bluetooth issue which seems like it is not going to happen anytime soon.
I've never played with sense as i like ginger's work too much but i really like what imika has done, too bad it's not stable enough yet and it seems like no updates to the few problems (like camera) are in the horizon yet.
I spent today searching and trying to figure out what happen to MDJ, i did, not sure if ultimate droid is his work, as I ran to a topic saying that it's his website. I also ran to another old rant from Gingerbread guys not saying nice things about ultimate droid but that was old rant i suppose.
I still have not made a decision, so many choices, i wish MDJ was here and would have stopped being so naughty and shared his toys like the rest of the boys.
in closing I like to thank all of the mods for the great work they put into our device, I was thinking of getting rid of my HD2 before i permanently ported to MDJ's (after unsuccessfully trying a couple of not so stable android builds and going back to wm6). You guys make me proud of my little device and all your efforts do not go unnoticed, even if we, the users, can be a little bit of pricks sometimes.
Any advice on super stable, fat rom, to replace my MDJ would be highly appreciated btw
Thanks

A few weeks ago I would have agreed with you 100% & MDJ's rom was the #1 choice for me. BUT .. there are a lot of smart chefs doing great things with the HD2 - many of whom play an active part in the forums here. These guys actually respond personally to your questions / queries - and abide by the rules! Heads we win - Tails we win! What more could you ask for?

If you change the LCD Density back to original 240, Pongsters HyperDroid-CM7-v1.0.2 looks much like the MDJ build (lot more hidden goodies tho!) - thats where the similarity ends as HyperDroid-CM7 is faster & smoother than the old MDJ build. Its also much more stable.

Go for it - if you have CWM installed it'll take just a few minutes to check out HyperDroid-CM7. You've nothing to lose & much to gain!
There's no way would I go back to MDJ's ROM after running HyperDroid-CM7!
currently i'm running mdj 2.6
when i flash this rom through CWM will i still have all my progress in games and settings?
im using NAND based..any good roms for it?
I was using MDJ's for a long while when just doing DFT flashes to nand. I finally bought in to CWM since no one was doing DFT anymore.
My first was Pongster's rom.. i dont know-- I went with it because thats what seemed like everyone was getting.. It seemed more "power user" type.
I then went to Tyween Typhoon CM7. thats what I use now. My rom of choice currently. Just "feels" better for the average joe who wants Gingerbread
it's not that stable
FOR ME,CM7 HAVE A LOT BUG.
I'm still holding on to MDJ CM7 2.6, maybe this thread will make me port out to pongster's build.. I had use his build previously during the sd card days .. at that time he stopped updating the rom as donation version of his rom could no longer be talked about on xda.
You guys should really try hypersroidgbx v10, been using the hyperdroidgbx since v6 and it is really fast and stable

Avoid asking about the best if you can. As for a ROM you may like try AmeriCanAndroid. It's a CM7 port that Copenhagen and I work on. I'm a TMo person too btw.

If you are looking for the most stable and fast rom, try tytung Gingerbread v2.9. Many will tell you that it is simply the best andriod rom out there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060
This is kinda like asking what do you prefer crunchy or creamy peanut butter...your bound to get many different responces. lol.
Check out this site. It lists almost all the nand android ROMs found here on XDA in a place thats much easier to find it.
AmeriCanAndroid is a great ROM and its updated often so thats always a good starting point. if your one that prefers HTC sense then maybe try out RAFDROID HD. i've personally found this ROM very fast and stable. If you like more of a iphone type feel then try a miui ROM out. i would suggest LADY MIUI or D4RK MIUI.
There really is no one best ROM, i think anyway. This is because everyone has their phone set up slightly different and also want different things on their cell. just try out a few ROMs intill you find something you want to stick with for a little bit of time and see how it goes. It took me several months to settle on a ROM because i always wanted to flash every new ROM that came out. lol.
I tried Miui, Sense and cynogen based roms; Miui has the best home applications like the camera app, phone app, etc. The fastest (real difference), with lots of tweaks and the best baterry for me is Dorimanx High end rom, although some of his builds are not stable because he is always updating his rom. Im using dorimanx rom right now, although im waiting to see if Hyperdroid is updated wich is another excellent rom.
Hello,
I tried BoyPPC ROMs and it's quite fast, stable and regularly updated so it seems well followed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1199917
But I agree with previous comments that it depends on your configuration and your needs. each one has pros and cons and you should just test the one that best fits to your needs.
Since Feb I'm using AmeriCanAndroid (well, cope's sd rom at that time, before he and warrenb started together AmeriCanAndroid). Haven't changed to anything else since then. Have switched to the nand version since 2-3 weeks and I'm happy with it.
Pyramid
I tested many Roms.
Because I like that HTC stuff, I searched a long time for a stable Sense 3 ROM.
This ROM is amazing and works verry well and smooth:
Pyramid HTC WWE 1.35.401.1 - Real 3D [V2.2][RAF 1.9GB]
Iv been trying to get that one for awhile but is not working

[Q] Best Sense Rom and Best ICS Rom

There is no 'best ROM'. You'll have to try them out and find one for yourself. What works for one person won't necessarily work for another. Also, if you're going to respond to this directly come up with something better than 'oh I just want opinions' because all you have to do to find that is to look in the ROM thread at some of the posts and to look at the viewcount + post count of each ROM.
Try NexusHD2 CM9 HWA by TyTung
I don't think there is an ICS ROM with Sense. Sbryan 1124 has an alpha version of the 4.0.3 Sense 4 ROM from the One V but it's not fit for daily use. Try the NexusHD2 CM9 HWA by TyTung. It's vanilla ICS but it has very few issues

thats why i said "but i want opinions on the best Sense rom and best ICS" which means i want opinions on why they think its the best, not just what i think is best.. i much rather hear what other people have to say about the rom. if i wanted on just tuned for me i would just make my own.

Lol i know that much, but when i tried sense roms i had some lag. But with the ICS roms i have more reliability, im using Nexus HD2 i like it but its been buggy on me where it doesnt notify me when i get a text so its kinda of making me go "eehh" to that rom for now.

Either way you look at it, 'best ROM' threads are wrong and there isn't an answer so why bother asking?

Having made my point about there being no best ROM, I can say that NexusHD2 works absolutely perfectly for me. I've been notified about every text and it's without doubt the fastest ROM I've tried for playing games and web browsing in particular. I won't say it's the best ROM because this is EXACTLY what I mean about 'what works for one won't necessarily work for another' but it's certainly good. Sense ROMs are in general slow, and you're not experiencing anything out of the ordinary. If you don't like one of them, chances are you're not going to like any of them.

Sense ROMs are in general slow, and you're not experiencing anything out of the ordinary. If you don't like one of them, chances are you're not going to like any of them.

I know what you mean, im sorry for mis-wording the thread, but i just like seeing opinions on Rom's before i try them. But if i dont like one sense rom doesnt mean i wont like a different one, every developer has there on way how they make their rom, so what could be in this rom could be completely different in this one, but hey thats the fun of making a rom. Also NexusHD2 my current daily use rom just because of how clean and stable it is, i probably messed something up to get the notification problem, but it has high potential along with paranoidandroid. but the main reason i like opinions on this subject is because maybe there is a underdog rom some where that isnt really get as much attention as the bigger ones right now that could be actually decent and what im looking for, or maybe and aspiring developer is making something.

I agree with you on wanting opinions I like to see the same... just ignore the above person because there is no where in the rules that's states this is wrong.....he just has nothing better to do..... anyway back on topic..... I have tried paranoid ( which I'm on and I LOVE) the later update allows alot of spirit changes that allow me to have everything to my liking... I have a half table half phone thing going on and its great. I tried aokp but I felt it was too buggy maybe after its off hold it will be better. I myself have been wondering about gb roms my self i haven't tried any hope this helps

The main reason i liked paranoidandroid was becaus of how stable it was and the uniqueness of the tablet phone. It looked nice and felt nice but the keyboard was a giant turn off and when i installed a different keyboard it would bug out like crazy and i couldnt find a way to fix it. But overall it has really good and clean.

Paranoidandroid 1.1a didn't work so well for me. The phone randomly restarted one day and was stuck at the boot screen for hours. NexusHD2 gets the job done for me. I can live with the bugs

Thats why Nexus HD2 is my daily use rom, the only bugs in it are small ones that will be worked out. but other than that its overall great, but personally parnoidandroid does have my attention because i like the whole hybrid style, just some kinks need to be ironed out.

It definitely is IMO it has even more detail into what dpi's can be controlled and it has a new keyboard... the giant keyboard was a true turn off but I fixed that by adjusting the dpi for the keyboard and its great now I have hack zero reeboots or issues and battery life with juice defender and slightly oc is like 17 hrs moderate use for me

Whilst I'm not here to get into any sort of argument, I'd just like to point out that just because something isn't stated in the rules doesn't mean it's not wrong. Back on topic though, Paranoidandroid is really good and different from other ROMs, although as of when I tried it NexusHD2 was far more stable and I preferred it.

Rom Help

Hello everyone. I know that i will get some asnwers like ,, use search,, etc. But i will ask here.
Well, i need a rom for my HD2 ( NAND) .
I tried a lot of roms, but i didnt found one yet that is good for me.
First of all i want a rom that doesnt uses a lot of memory, i want to have as much as possible free memory.
To be stable and fast, not laggy. I dont care about the estetics too much. i was using the cm7ite dark edition rom , but with it i had problems with skype, instagram and some more apps.
What rom do you suggest?

So, you know you're going to get flamed for not searching, and yet rather than searching you post it here? *sigh* Your reasoning is so poor.
Anyway, the best would be a CM7 or MIUI (although probably CM) ROM which eats little RAM. Dunno about Instagram, but a fair amount of peoples can't get Skype working on most ROMs.
Hello community,
I also kinda have the same question... I am currently thinking about which ROM I will install on my HD2 for daily use.
I will also only use NativeSD ROMs, as I have a very good SD Card, so my favourites are:
NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.1 by tytung
PACman HD2 v1.1 by Xylo
Fastest ICS ever by mr-evil1 or tytungs ICS ROM
So actually I have already tested out tytungs JB ROM but it has some bugs, so for example I was aswering a call and as I pressed the accept button there was just a brrrrrrrrrrrrrr and after 10 secs it said that "phone is not responding" (or something like that). Which I disliked very much. Also Maps is kinda always zooming out, seems buggy with the touch. I did a fresh install btw/ofc
So I heard of some people really enjoying Xylos JB ROM. It is still in beta but it seems to work just fine.
Last but not least, whats with the good old ICS? Whats with stability there?
Actually it would be nice if someone could post experiences and recommendations.
