So far for me the Desire v5 has been rock solid. I've had only one person say they hear an echo from me. This was after I loaded the JMZ cab. Don't know if that's the reason? Everything else works pretty stable enough for me. I can't save pictures from the internet though (save as-- get's an error and forces a quit).
Froyo with the latest Cotulla zImage runs good too. I like it alot better(v1) but market place will not download apps and mobile network internet works kindof. I can't login to certin sites, Facebook for one but the facebook app works fine. WiFi all sites work. I do already have my t-mo APNs in there.
WHAT WORKS FOR YOU= ROMS AND ALL?
PS are these ROMs considered rooted?
to be honest don't really think there's any need for this thread, there are aldready threads open for people to discuss what is & what isn't working
Thanks, I wasn't sure if I wanted to post this in the thread. Useful or just useful to me?
I assure you that this thread is useful.
For me: I'm using Energy Rom (July 21) with Radio 2.12.50.02_2 and HSPL 2 and everything works fine except the Battery.. Desire v5 is kinda using alot of battery and Dans build is much worse and it kinda lags and things, and since i'm having that Sleep of death thing... i deleted it
That was my opinion
not bad
but not usefull either. Back to WinMo for now...
Hi, I'm using Desire V5, works like a charm. Unique problem is battery drain (lasts 8 hours with no data connection).
My settings: a 4GB class 2 SD, radio 2.12.50.02_2. The rom is the Axlor Leo v3.5 (win 23569). I can't hear people speaking in the phone, but they can hear me (but I know it's a winmo ROM problem)

Exactly same ROM/RAM but using Leo_RADIO_2.07.50.27_2.
Everything works great but I don't seem to get GPS working with Google Navigation. How to test if GPS is working?
It isn't. Probably won't for some time. Don't think this is a dev priority.
I'm using stock wimo from htc 1.66, only updated the radio rom to 2.10.50.19.2. I'm using now dan1j3l-LeoFroyo-Sense-PR1 and it works good. There are some things bugging me. Can't get GPS to work, camera does not work, and with this build i get diferent icons on top (battery and signal) then with the stock nexus one rom, is this a cab that has to be uninstalled.
I'm can already switch between sense and stock, so thats good.
For the rest everyting works well and i would say that it is for me almost a daily use rom.
Anybody any idea how to get gps working and camera?
I got 1 ? How do I get rid of the robotic voice during calls? I have tmobile stock rom 2.13 and radio 2.10.50.26 and desire build v5 I also used nospeedy zimage. I need help everything else works great!
Issues
Using Dans Froyo with the latest zimage (25/7).
This is on Xannytech 2.3 and radio 2.12.
known issues are
Robotic voice. (Any tricks guys?)
Torch/flash does not work
GPS.
The rest seems good.

I didn't do anything special. When I started my Android journey, I couldn't get anything to load. Then I realized I had an outdated radio. I've always liked Dutty's ROMs so I loaded the one below and the most recent radio I could find.
I boot into WinMO. I already have HTC Sense killed because I just use SPB Mobile shell. I kill SPB Mobile shell and press CLRCAD.exe, then Haret.
I retested to make sure they're working. The GPS isn't working off WiFi. Google Maps always knows where I'm at and weather location is always where I'm at. I'm assuming GPS is working then.
However, I may be mistaken about the camcorder. I fires up and I and zoom in/out. However, double clicking the screen and it doesn't seem to be recording to memory.
to switch between sence and stock interface if that is what you mean.
---> settings ->Applications ->manage applications ->All ->HTC sense -> Force stop. then select the home button and there you can select HTC sense or Launcher.

Good morning guys, I'm a newbie with using Android Roms, but I've been really impressed with running Android the setup in my signature. That being said, in my area, when my T-Mobile data connection is disabled, the device freezes and the battery must be pulled. If I disable cell data, and only use wireless, then the phone works really well. The really nice thing about using the Android Roms so far is that they are stored on a storage card, so you can easily get back to Windows mobile if you want to. Good luck!

Ok, so they do work with tmobile then? Is that what you're trying to say?
Ok, I wasn't clear with my previous post. If I have T-Mobile data enabled and wireless enabled as well, when I lose my work or home wireless connection, and the phone tries to reconnect to t-mobile data, the phone freezes hard. So, I have t-mobile data disabled, and I've been using wireless exclusively. I hope to work through resolving the issue in the coming week.

I'm running the lastest Nexus one android using Cookies Energy Rom for the windows side. also updated the radio to the 2.12 all is good so far no robot voice no freezes. the best one yet
All the android roms are safe to use as far as I know, they all reside on the sd card and are not flashed to the phone. f there is a problem with one (lock ups etc) the battery then can be removed, reinserted, and the phone repoted into windws. Radio 2.12.50.02_2 is recomended, which can be downloaded in the radio section (first post). (T-Mobie USA HD2 ROM Development).
I been using one for 4 days now and like it!! info in sig

I am not an android expert, but from what i undrstand the correct radio to se for android is 2.12.50.... Look uder the radio thread to download it.

There also seems to be an issue with the newest roms (build 3.14) and the issue that the voice in the calls sound robotic.
I am sure it all will get resolved soon.
I have 3.14 radio installed and have no issues with robotic voice as long as I run clrcad or whatever it is just waiting on nand. There are great Rome out there just have to test the waters for yourself. All suk battery life compared to WM

Enjoy.. this one FINALLY works
Hey guys! My problem is that no matter what Windows mobile/Android rom I use, I never can lock on a GPS signal. I have tried GPS status but all that does is just run and run without ever picking up a signal.
Here's what I'm dealing with:
WM Rom: OzDROID 2.00
Radio: Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14
Android Rom: MCCM SE V3.3
Kernal: Hastarin r8.4
What could I be missing guys? I have tried numerous combinations but all get the same result.
I have also tried running Quick GPS but that also does nothing.
Do you think that this has something to do in Winmo that I'm not doing right or does it probably just have to do with the Android side?
me 2, in winmo worked just fine, but in android, no signal.
Update that radio and Rom. I will send exactly what I'm using. No internet drop, gps, and navigation works flawless....

Here's an update on what I have changed
WM Rom: OzDROID 2.00
Radio: Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14
Android Rom: MCCM SE V3.3
Kernal: Hastarin r8.4
Like I said I have tried numerous WM and Android Roms with all the same results. I once got a great GPS signal on a froyo build that I can't remember the name of, but decided to switch back to sense because I like it better.
Are there any special things that I need to do in WM before I boot Android? Like have airplane mode on or something like that?
I've used MDJ Sense v2.2 rEVO and right now MDJ Matted v1.4. I got GPS signals with both builds. It does take minimum 5 mins to get satellite signal tho, and you need to be outside.
Use mdj sense v 1.7 its fine with me..or try use fasterfix

Anyone else have any ideas?
this is a stupid question but did you make sure to stand outside while trying to get a luck on the gps? What app were you using when trying to get a lock? Google map? Copilot?

Yes, I tried inside and out. I was using google maps and gps status.
there's no point trying inside, if you can't even get one outside.
just try using gps status, downloading the gps assisstance data, then just standing out side for a good 15 minutes just to ensure you don't get a signal, because you may just be impatient!
if after that you still don't get one, perhaps try a different android build
i use m-deejays and gps is flawless! quicker lock than my satnav, probably due to the assistance data!
I know this topic has been discussed previously, but I haven't been able to find the answer yet so here goes:
As I understand it, GPS is working in all/most sense and cm based builds however AGPS seems to be an issue all have in common. From what I understand AGPS is just a helper function for quicker GPS locking so even though AGPS isnt working, you should still be able to get a lock.
Now, since before we got nand based ROMs for HD2 I used haret to load android from my SD card. Back then I used GPS depended applications like c:geo for geocaching and car navigation progs, as well as progs for finding nearest resturant when I visit other cities/countries.
Been a while since I had the need for it, but recently with the nice weather geocaching for example have become an interest. What I see now is that none of the ginger/cm/non-sense builds I have tried have given me a GPS lock. I have tried the GPS fixes, flashed Norway.zip for tweaking my gps.conf, installed gps-status but no chance in getting a lock. and yes, I have been giving it quite some time, outdoors.
Anyone else having these problems? I see from screenshots on for example the HyperDroidCM7 ROM that you can get a lock, so its not a problem for everybody. Is my assumption on what AGPS is, correct? Any worarounds to get GPS functionality working? Strange to have these problems now, since it worked kinda well before
EDIT: tried now with [10.MAR.11][CWM] RAFDROID HD 4.0.2|Fastest Full DesHD|DATA2EXT|[Rafpigna 1.8 OC], still no lock
There's no driver support for AGPS, so the best we can do for now is to tweak our gps.conf and use gps status. If you can't get a lock at all, it could be a HW problem. If geocaching is a necessity for you, you could go back to WM and sd Android, use WM to grab AGPS data, then boot into Android.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I use that rom, but the 4.0 (really not much of a difference for me between the 4.0 and 4.0.2), and I always have a lock quickly.
1) Did you try installing the GPSFix.0.1 apk file and running it? that downloads a criticial file xtra.bin into your data folder.
Also try the 1.2 files and see if you have any luck, because I know in the 4.0 of Rafdroid, the gps works very well.
Same as Angeldeath, I use Rafdroid and it works ok.
Mine was faulty a couple of weeks ago and HTC warranty had to swap the board (and also did the screen, keys etc). In the end it would still lock but after a while it would freez or have no reception anymore.
But to be honest I don't like the GPS receiver at all in the HD2. There are numerous tests and other people to back me up on the tremendous jitter the receiver has which makes you jump all over the place.
A nice test is to place it in the car and switch on the cruiscontrol at 100km/h, or even worse at 180km/h. The thing will jump atleast 10% in speed.
When I need to drive or walk long trips I use my iBlue 747A+ 66 Ch Bluetooth GPS Logger which you can buy cheap on ebay.
That thing logs, is fast, deadly accurate and with the free 'bluetooth gps' on the market you can even use it on the HD2

The AGPS thing on WM and then booting into Android is a myth, there's an extenvise work being done to make AGPS work on Android for our HD2s, but they have not managed to get it working yet.
Android on our HD2 simply doesnt have any commands to load AGPS, and the chip itself doesnt save any data. In the remote case it saved anything, there's nothing on the GPS Driver itself to read it
Quick tip to get your GPS to work:
Load Google Maps, let it try to get a lock, if after 1 or 2 mins it doesnt get any lock force close the app, turn off then back on the GPS and reload Google Maps. If you still cant get a lock, let it sit for at least 5 mins, then Force Close it again.
after that it should get you a lock in less than 10 secs.
Easiest way to FC it is enabling the "hold back to FC app" option on CM builds.
Hello,
I have bought a HTC HD2 with a broken digitizer from my friend, fixed it by myself and installed tytung JellyBean 1.2 rom. Everything work fine (phone, WiFi, bluetooth), except no program can find any GPS satellites. All program shows that "GPS is on", or "GPS signal detected", but no matter how long I wait it can't get any signal from satellites. At first I thought that GPS antenna coaxial cable might be disconnected, so I dissembled my phone, but didn't find any problems. Then I made some research and tried to modify GPS.config file (to add NTP server), installed "AngelDeath" Instantaneous GPS Fixation v1.2, tried some programs, but nothing helped.
My phone configuration:
HTC HD2 (512)
HSPL: 2.08.
Radio: Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14
Bootloader: MAGLDR v1.13
Recovery: Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2.6
Tytung Android 4.12 NAND rom (with data on sd)
Maybe someone knows how to test if GPS chips is good (want to figure out if it is a software version or hardware)?
Many thanks!
P3tras
P.S. I do not know if GPS worked before. I didn't try it with stock windows mobile soft and the person whom I bought phone from didn't ever use GPS
About the gps issue...
I've been on NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.3a, EvoHD2v10 ICS 4.0.4-full HWA, NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.8,
PARANOIDANDROID HD2 v1.5b, and a few other roms I can't remember...
It seems the gps works great when Wifi or mobile Data is on and can access the internet,
other than that it'll just keep on scanning until it spots a gps satellite.
I have a map app, that downloads the maps of certain countries or cities, but when I turn on gps, it just stay searching for a satellite...
once I turn on wifi and also turn on location services for google (all check on boxes), it takes secons for the gps to pinpoint where I'm at...
Not very good in rural areas where there's very little reception...
it seems miui roms made from langthang or possibly any gingerbread roms works well,
since I had no problems with the gps in miui, rafdroid or coredroid...
I did made a search through google using advanced search and the forums, but only found 4 threads, all but this one only a month old...
Maybe it works for you, get fasterfix from google play, and set it at your current location, then turn on your location services
in the settings, then use your map...
I have a EU HD2 currently running NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.3a, which in my opinion is running great, minus the gps running offline...
Magdlr
data on ext
16gb sandisk SDcard
Update!! Looks like all I needed to do was put a check on wifi and mobile network location under
settings -> location access.
It might download gps data like windows mobile did when it needed to, but this time google doesn't tell
you that, it just does it...
I haven't tested it when I'm outside so I'll test it tomorrow. I'll post the results after.
current rom I'm using: NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.3a, with same settings.
Another Update!!
Just got back from a computer hiccup, and yes, GPS does work offline, it took a while for my phone to pick up
a satellite, but only around 2 to 3 minutes on the second try, it seems that it can pick up in seconds with data
help, then it takes a little longer every minute or hour the GPS is used offline...
But that's my assumption on this process based on how it worked on windows mobile...
Also it's the same on my pad but that's another matter... All I can say is get a map software that download maps
into your phone, rather than the app constantly hogging/relying on your data connection, of course if data connection is
an issue, if not, disregard the last bit.
