Hi all,
My HD2 had upgraded from WM to android 2.2.
However, the system is unstable lately (it rebooted occasionally).
Thus, I wonder whether I can do another upgrade to either 2.3 or 4.0?
Could you suggest which version is more stable and functioning well?
Also the how-to?
Thx a lot.
Yes you can do an upgrade, have a good read first as these are custom ROM & bugs will be present, those 2.3.xx versions are pretty much stable nowadays but you can give ICS - different flavours - a try also. Go the the SD ROM thread & if your phone has MAGLDR all you have to do is put the ROM in SD & boot from there or try the link below
Thx for the suggestion.
Just another Q: Why to store image in the SD? Doesn't it slow down the boot up time?
What's the benefit on the other hand?
Much appreciated.
NexusHD2 series GB & ICS are very stable and fast ROMs.
I am now using an ICS one and I am very pleased
You can found guides about flashing in my signature.
If you`re interested only in Android you should choose a NAND version to avoid slowness.
You can upgrade to this rom, now it is stable enough, enjoy.

Since the NexusHD2 is almost stock, is it possible to add CM6 to it via their update zip? If possible, any modifications needed? I like lot of their features compared to stock froyo
I still have the original HD2ONE 1.3 Nand version installed but its really outdated. Its time for an upgrade but I'm not ready for gingerbread yet. I know theres the CleanDroid rom but doesn't seem stable compared to the NexusHD2 plus theres no official ClockWork rom.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Chaps, I'm considering switching builds to the current Typhoon nand rom, I'm currently on the old M-DeeJay nand Rom for those of you with long memories, and for the most part it's been very stable. Unfortunately just recently I've been having issues and have decided to have a fresh install.
Reading through the last 60 pages or so of the typhoon rom, it seems like the ROM has become somewhat unstable with the latest versions, with data dropping out, batteries being drained etc
I've experienced no real issues like this with my current Rom (no issues that I can't solve), are these real problems for typhoons rom at the minute that I should wait to see fixed, or is it a case of user error and I'm fine to go for it?
I've never used cwm, so haven't flashed nightlies, I prefer to find a Rom that works and stick with it rather than risk screwing up my phone
Also - just how improved are current roms over ones that were cooked up around christmas time?
The other ROM I considered was the Dorimanx one, it seems to be just a little too tweaked for my liking
current cm7 roms have android 2.3.5 base. instead of them you can use roms with android 2.3.4 base (which are stable).i typhoon rom op there are old rom download links.i'm not sure but version 3.4.1 is said to be very stable.
best stable rom i ever tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060
and fast ...
thanks chaps - now running typhoon 3.4.1
best rom with sense is Android 2.2.1 Sense 2.0 NAND Firmware (based on stock Desire HD RUU Ace 1.84) by Mikhei777
I cant speak for non Tmobile HD2 devices. But for the TMobile version this ROM is the fastest, cleanest, and most stable I have used. I have been using it for almost a year. So far have not run into any issues especially once I switched to the CLK version. [OCT16] AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.7 CM7 | bk2sdext [KERNEL:ACA823]
Hey guys!
I am running CM7 Typhoon atm.. but I want to try ICS. Wondering if the builds are good/stable enough to be a daily driver? Is it worth upgrading now or wait till later?
Cheers
I think yes, but just for try it. ICS right now for HD2 is very unstable.
Yersterday we had got new version of Typhoon. I've been using it since I bought my HD2.
IMHO
i too am running the newest typhoon and am slightly interested in the new ICS builds. besides it being currently unstable, what other issues are there with ICS? I'M under the assumption that not all apps are compatible with it, or they dont fully function.
i'm all for waiting until everything is a little smoother, and i do follow the progress to an extent. i was just wondering about the current status of where is it now before i'd update.
Already on ICS
There are a few good options...
My requirement was a working camera. This took a little while but the Devs are great and I now have a good camera and working ICS CM9
I decided to try it with the SD build for TyTungs port of CM9.
Is it perfect, not yet, but I have not booted back to CM7 since I booted up CM9.
I am going to wait for one or two updated before going in with the NAND build but the SD build is great if you are using MAGLDR and can run the dual boot options.
Check out this forum for NAND details:

Big Thanks to CyanogenMod and TyTung for all their work
Note: TyTung also was working on a AOSP version of ICS. I am note sure but it looks like he may have droped the AOSP in favour of CM9.
I relly like the CMx OS's and like CM7, CM9 has added CM functionality and options. You can see that CM9 is still being worked on in the menus in that there are a number of place holders in the menu, that do not yet have functionality, but the core ICS4.0.3 is working.
Good luck All,
To my mind there is no good enough ics rom(for today) for everyday's using.
Best was miui 4 works smooth, battery life is good but in my region rom doesn't see sim card...
Dev's have much work to do.
I would definitely suggest trying a SD rom first to get an idea of what it's like.

I used to have American Android i think that is like Cyanogenmod OS? The main reason why I switched to ICS is to be able to boot my phone straight to Android without having to to turn it on to Windows OS, then do the CLRCAD, HARET process in the Android folder.
I was told to consult a ROM chef because I've been having issues with the ICS camera and I tried installing 2 different cameras just to see how they work, umfortunately they were all slow, crashes and freezing, poor resolution as well. Some issues also with the Facebook and Instagram apps.
I hope somebody can help me with these issues. Is there also another operating system that will enable my HTC HD2 to boot directly to Android but have the same launcher or have the same format as to how the launcher looks like. Can you recommend other cameras to install in order to have better functions and quality.
I hope to hear form you guys. Thanks!
yea the cameras are unstable in ics and jb, but useable sort of, but i dont have any answers to your question, ,
however, just in case you weren't aware,
The main reason why I switched to ICS is to be able to boot my phone straight to Android without having to to turn it on to Windows OS,

there are nand versions of earlier ones, too, there's a nand version of the rom you were already running, if you want. You dont have to go ics/jb, if you are comfortable with gb, there are plenty of very stable, fully working gingerbread roms for nand.
To be honest, even with the term NAND i have little or no knowledge, such terminologies. What can you recommend that I do if i wanna replace ICS OS? and be able to directly boot to Android?
thanks again...
one of the best camera/ video out there is from MIUI & Mokee bot have SD & NAND version. ICS & up still have some issues with our HD2
try the link below it might help.
Hi This is the first time i'm about to Flash a Rom to my Wildfire A3333
Can you suggest me a Rom based on this criteria s given below.
1) Stability and Most function should work
2) I like the stock Default appearance of android.
3) My main intention is just to upgrade to the latest Rom of Android (Bug free)
4) I prefer Jelly bean. But if there is no stable / Bug free Rom suggest me others but above gingerbread.
5) It should not lower the battery life.
If there is none available as i expected i will go ahead with cyanogenmod 7.2 stable which could upgrade my froyo to gingerbread
What your suggestion on that?
Thanks in advance.
If there

well, Jelly Bean is actually out of the question.. JB roms are not quite usable as daily driver.
That leaves us with ICS or GB.
ICS roms do come with a little bit more battery drain, and arent as fast as GB roms. but they are usable and quite stable. I would recommend AOKP light by Wasimk32 or MiniCM9 by Jordafaz.
now GB ROM are the best option to go for. Cynogen ROMs have a decent battery life, so it haven't been a issue for me, at least.
you could try CM7 from this site.

And there are modified versions of CM7, which are found in the Devolopment section.
hope this helps
