I have gone and upgraded to a htc one x.
I shall how pass the HD2 on.
I would like to thank the devs and users of xda's hd2 forums for all their hard work creating the many roms etc. that I have used over the last few years.

I can't belive the Dell Streak has been out nearly six months and we still only have one Chef!
The most awesome.... Stephen Hyde!
If it wasn't for this gent we would still be stuck with Dells own....which as we all know SUCKS!
I came from the HD2 where, after six months, there were about 20 Chefs and many many different ROMs!
Is this indicative of the Android cooking scene? On WinMo 6.5 devices there are always lots of Chefs and ROMs. On Android devices do you only usually get a couple of Chefs and ROMs? Is it harder to be a Chef on an Android device?
Anyway, I think we all owe Stephen a big round of applause and perhaps a donation for making our devices 500% better than when we got them!
(ooooo 666th post )
Absolutely!! Stephen is the man!!! I've owned the Streak for just a few days now, and I've already ditched Dell's own for Stephen's ROMs!
do we need anymore?
the hd2 may have many "chefs", but most of them were doing nothing more than repacking files with a different theme.. YAWN
android tends to need a bit more nouse, ok its not hard to be a repackager, but to do something useful needs more skill than that.
I could also release roms, but tbh I'd rather help steve with his and have one good one.
Whilst I agree with what your saying, I have to say that there were quite a few 'core' Chefs, and the ROMs they were cooking were significantly different from each others. Buut yes you did get the blokes that had just downloaded a Kitchen and cooked their own programs/themes into it.
Being able to pick and choose between many diffrent ROMs pleased me somewhat
Not Android Development Please Post in the Correct Forum Thanks
Moved to General
I've wondered about the dearth of chefs as well. Love DJ_Steve, no doubt. I guess this speaks somewhat to the low adoption of the Streak. Stupid Dell, you go and create an awesome phone but then you continually screw up the launch and everything after.

I've been a member of this forum for about 4 months now, and I just wanted to post a big thank you to all the developers out there in a thread that I think should highlight their work and for us to show our gratitude to them.
I bought my HD2 (T-mobile) used, through ebay (to the caribbean) and have been loving it ever since, primarily due to the development published in this xda-forums. It's good to know that google shows the xda site as the first sight when looking for apps and roms, tweaks, etc. for my HD2.
I'm technically capable, but haven't done programming in about 8 years, but I remember the struggles, and these guys here keep putting out new developments, one after the other to keep us up-to-date. I moved from stock ROM to EnergyROM- Dinik, then to Energy Titanium. Before the end of last year I was using dual boot with Android Froyo by Darkstone. For the new years, the developers again moved progress with us now being able to run NAND versions of Android on the HD2. I've so far installed and tried 3, finally sticking with the Prj Clean Desire ROM - Froyo version (I like room to add my own apps without clutter).
I try to support as much as possible, but sometimes I do miss.
I decided to start this thread for a single, simple reason. To give the respect, gratitude and thanks to all the developers on the xda-forums who continue to ensure that our HTC phones are well optimised and continually on the cutting edge of new mobile software, applications and platforms (I'm sure we have yet to see a Windows Phone 7 adaptation yet).
For me there are a few whose names/aliases constantly appear:
Cotulla (the god who gave us HSPL and magldr)
Dark Forces Team (DFT)
Darkstone
EnergyROM creators
Core ROM creators
Hastarin
Miri ROM creators
Cyanogen creators
Once again, mad props to you guys and the many other developers out there.
If I were HTC, Microsoft or Android, I'd be hiring you guys without question.
Keep up the good work.
Nice speech there mate! Without doubt we all show our graditute and we thank the developers for their hard work, imagination and dedication!
We also want to say THANK YOU to xda forum that made all of these possible!
Let's not forget dcordes, netripper, letama and markinus for getting Android for the hd2 where it is today. Without them starting the project and getting the Linux kernel ported, we probably wouldn't even have a working Android yet.

The time has come to say goodbye to this forum.. because of this forum i have jumped onto the android bandwagon.. thank you to all the developers for the wonderful ROMs that you have produced to keep the HD2 a remarkable device. I've been on XDA forums since my XDA II and will stay here, just moving to the Samsung page.. thanks again everyone for all your great work!!!
congrates on your new toys
i'll keep my Leo as monumental devices, even it's over for winmo, but capabilities are developed time to time...android seems so interesting but can't put away my thought on WP7, times will decide..
Now with my Leo....just can't live without doing something different

Dunno about Dorimanx but Xylo is definitely still active on the HD2 forums, so I don't know what you're on about there. Yes, development for the HD2 is decreasing but it's because the phone's three years old, not because of the community. I'm not quite sure but I reckon you won't be able to find any other phone which is this old and still has this much activity. Even so, the HD2 probably has another half a year of life at the most before development completely ceases, so we may as well enjoy it whilst it lasts and face the truth that sooner or later this phone will die.
+1 as well dorimanx is in my opinion the best dev on here no disrespect to other devs but he is hands above the others in relatiin to his kernel work with zram and swap and the frequency with which he used to update his rom us unsurpassed making my hd2 faster than then my friends stock sensation. we all miss him here his dev status in my opinion and the opunion of others should never have been revoked. i was told by a moderator that they answer questions within 24hours but am still awaiting answers to questions in my thread reinstatement of developer status which i posted for dori to be given his dev status back in questions and answers.
so hail the MAESTRO DORIMANX and please return we need you. if u are nit going to return please open your rom and kernel in some other forum and we will leave xda and follow you once again.
I believe that all the developers are worthy of respect. all have made the development of hd2 possible, every one for own characteristics and knowledge.
perhaps they are of part but dorimanx for me it is the number one for when it concerns the innovations brought on our telephone, I speak of the data2ext, of the swap, of the zram. Is Tytung one of fathers founders of the rom android on hd2, which rom android has not had one kernel of his? I believe anybody (the dorimanx has not perhaps had never it).
I believe to speak for the good of everybody, because they don't put on all together with to work for a rom android that perhaps that official are even able of eguagliare.
you think only to imagining xylo + tytung + rick_1995 + dormanx, and many I have forgotten of it, that work for a rom that could remain for a long time perhaps on our telephones.
you excuse for the English
Isn't this the same thing people posted about a few months ago

i disagree tbh it still as a 4" screen thats the main reason its still up there ,back in the day apple said there screen was big enough now the min screen is what the hd2 has got so id say long as the devs still want to they will as it still outsrtips a lot off phones out there on spec ,off topic but shame the devs never got in to the hd7
I'm delighted to have found this website! I got my HD2 and at first I quite liked the W6.5 on it, slowly getting used to it and them BAM! I can't use the Windows Marketplace, that was the only/final straw for me, what the hell is the point in having a marketplace on the phone when you can't even use it! I started looking into getting android on it and managed to stumble across this site and thanks to the helpful guides on how to flash my phone I've managed to get it how I like it! Keep up the good work guys as I am here for a while now, can't see me getting rid of my HD2 for a long time and will always be checking here for updates!
you want developers? spare hd2's for new ones(not noobs, ones without hd2, i mean).
simple.
many thanks for all their great works
I'm very happy Tytung is making HD2 roms again. Thanks to him, my HD2 now runs ICS perfectly. He released his last ROM yesterday, his previous ROM last week. He always was my favorite developer.
We salute you, Tytung!
Hello
I've been on this forum since two years, and I tested more than 20 custom Roms for the HTC ONE M8
Unfortunatly, the tactile screen of my phone is not working anymore, so i decided to join the OnePlus 3T family
I never thanked all the developpers who make an amazing job on this roms.
So if you're a custom ROM developper, thank you for uptdating this phone, giving the best user experience you can !
Keep doing this amazing job, I imagine that there's a few people in my situation who never post on this forums so once again :
THANK YOU
I'm not a developer, but I'm sure they appreciate your kind words.
Mostly replying, since I also made the jump to the OnePlus 3T (from the M8) a few months ago. So maybe I'll see you over in those forums!
