Which OS to use?

Hey. I have some questions..
Im new in all of this an so pls forgive me if i ask something stupid
// I have an HD2 with 512MB Flash Memory / 576MB RAM
Im looking for an Android OS which runs stable, with good performance and if possible enough apps .. the battery life is not interesting for me.
So i hope, theres something out that fits my wishes
it would be nice if you could also link me the thread (or a video) where is exactly explained how to install the new os ( and of course a link where i can download the rom, if its not in the thread where it is explained how )
thank you

Here's a guide to installing Android on your HD2...

Other than that, just take your time and have a look through the NAND ROM section. Just open some that sound interesting to you from the titles and read the 1st post to see if it's what you want (Froyo or Gingerbread? Sense or no Sense?).

I've not seen a ROM thread yet where the dev doesn't list what's working and what's not working, so you should be able to weigh it up yourself.
I only suggest you do this because there's no way I can tell you a good ROM. It's all subjective, and you're better knowing what options you have anyway, rather than me just giving you a link to the one I use and saying it's the best there is!
Good luck mate. If you get stuck on anything, read, read, read. If you really can't find help then you've found a very rare situation, so go ahead and ask.
Have fun

Thank you, that will help me for sure, but i have an other question.
What means "Sense or no Sense" ?

Do you know the HTC interface, HTC Sense? It's on the HD2 running WM by default, but also on Android HTC devices such as the Desire, Desire HD and Desire Z (to name but a few).
If you've never seen it it's worth a look. I personally don't use it as I prefer something more configurable, but a lot of people really rate it.
Here's a link to the Desire running Sense...

Hello,
I use a clean Android 2.3.2 and it works like a charm. 720p recording does not work, but it should be fixed in future. You can contact me via MSN or ICQ.. In german
Or you go to www.mobiletopia.de and you can read my Tutorial for flashing Android (http://mobiletopia.de/viewtopic.php?f=371&t=8275) if it is easier in german.

Im not exactly sure what it is, but i think that i like it.. so thank you very much .. I will give a try to the threads you posted above.

You're welcome mate. Good luck

You may also want to try one of the NAND builds, they replace Windows Mobile on your phone. I set up NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9b NAND for my girlfriend and she's reported no problems. It's been a few weeks now.
It runs very fast and stable.
Before you can install a NAND ROM, you will first need to install the MAGLDR. But it's all quite easy.

It's Android for the NAND of you HD2. That means that it will be installed in you phone memory.
An other option ist to install Android on your SD card and Windows Mobile is still on your device and you have to start Android from within Windows Mobile.
I think NAND is the better option, after you startet Android the first time you will never change back
P.S. i used a clean Android from the NAND-section fro Leo and it just works.

[Q] HD2

So my sister has the hd2 leo with the WP6.5 and wants me to switch it to the android so my questions are:
What will be needed to make it a stand alone os not a dual boot?
Which version is stable on the hd2 (2.1, 2.2, or 2.3)?
What files might be needed for root, backup/restore?
Will the android market work fine with this install?
Am I leaving out and needed files?
and
Out of the hundreds of threads here which offers the best and easiest walkthrough?
I am a little familiar with the process because I did root my lg-optimus-zv9 and custom rom and have the nand backup so I am guessing it will be some what similar, and I didn't brick or have troubles with that process except finding the drivers needed.

Only my personal opinion, but i like tytungs builds (without Sense). they are clean and fast just as i like it
[26.JAN][DFT/CWM] NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9G [Android2.2.2][Kernel: tytung_r2_oldcam]
[23.FEB][DFT/CWM] NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.2 [Android2.3.2][Kernel: tytung_r6_oldcam]
This thread guided me well trough the flashing process.
For Backup/Restore CWM (in above ROM included) is very good to Backup the complete ROM. If you only want to save Apps/Settings Titanium Backup is the best choise.
For importing old contacts from WM 6.5 see here
Android Market works without Problems.
Hope that helps a little bit,

Whats the best WP7 Rom?

I'm new to WP7 I'm coming from android off my HTC HD2 and I would like to know whats the best WP7 Rom?

I´m using this one and so far very ligth and stable
BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA WP7 SERIES V4

I read about that rom. Is it activated?

Yes it is the only thing you need is your microsoft code to be 100% funcional

Ok so I downloaded the rom on my hd2. How do I put in the serial Key?

only when you use live services, that´s when it will ask for the code

!!!
The best one is the Xbmod!

Do you know the Direct phone number to microsoft so I can get the key?

I also can't send pictures on BOYPPC WP7 Rom

They´re actually all "stable", "fast", and whatnot.
You´ll find some minor differences in graphics and language files, but that´s about it. The reason for this is that all those custom ROMs use the same basis.
Just take one of these from May/June, they´re "NoDo" ROMs, the older ones are the initial WP7 version without "copy/paste".

[Q] NOR vs NAND

Hi , I have HD2 and I want to install android OS on it. I found a lot of solutions on this website like booting from SD Card and NAND solutions, but I have one question. Is there any NOR version installation and in general which is better NOR or NAND ? Sorry for this maybe general question but I need help and I would also wanted to consult with you . Thanks , every help is appreciated.

Hi there mate.!
Never heard anything about the NOR version that you are talking sorry
There are 2 ways to install Android OS in your device and they are posted in sub-forums in here and i think you have already saw them
The SD version is if you don't want to leave wm6.5 but wanna give Android a try!
(thats the easiest way to install it)
And the NAND version if you have decided that you want Android OS in your mobile and ofc Android will have much better performance in NAND than SD
PS: my opinion is if you don't want mw6.5 anymore go read some posts and install the NAND version cause you will have much much more performance
I hope i helped

there are no nor versions, you on about running a version in ram ?

Hi and thanks for a quick reply and more than helpful answers. I need to ask you several more things. Since I want to install NAND version, because of the performance, I need the latest version . I saw several instructions for 2.2 and 2.3 android. Can you give me the link to the 2.3 newest installation link. Also is there any known issue after installation (like no wireless network, or some applications doesn't work...)

best off looking in the dev section, depends on whether you want a sense rom or not

As Richy said there are sooo many roms for you to try
The 2.3.5 rom for me is the most stable if you want your phone to work 100% 24/7 with no battery consume!
Now its up to you if you want Sense 2.2 or 3 if you want MIUI or Gingerbeard or or or or or
For me it goes like this :
1:Go to NAND sub-forum
2: Find a good and updated Rom for your mobile (at the front of each title its the release day) enter it and read the full description the dev gives you and to all the steps!!!!
3: for correct use of your wifi,gps,etc.....find a good kernel (Most devs gives you a kernel of their choise with their ROM)
Thats all you need to know...all you have to do is read the hole post carefully
And just an opoinion..if you want a fast and stable (not a fancy one) ROM go for a MIUI and a good one is this Mwakious
and this is Kefir's Kernel
Good luck and if you need anythink PM me

When the T-Mobile version is mentioned, it is purely indicating that it is a TMOUS HD2 with 1024 MB ROM and the T-Mobile logo on the top. The carrier doesn't matter

Are you sure that carrier doesn't matter , US has different frequencies , and this is T-mobile US (TMOUS). If the carrier doesn't matter ,can I then install in switzerland on orange HD2 according to the procedure for T-Mobile new gignerbread ?
If not can someone give me some links for my HD2 please. I searched NAND 2.3 android but some of the topics are from 2010 and some of them after installation have various types of problems.
Thanks !

Hi there, I was exactly where you were 3 weeks ago. I picked up a second HD2 as my WM HD2 phone is heavily loaded with apps and files etc. and I did not want to risk stuffing it. I played with a couple of versions with HTC Sense but then tried TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 and found it smaller, faster and more stable + much slicker than WM.
After just 3 days and a few new apps like Swype and Wi-Fi tethering, I cut over to droid forever. Next I will do my original HD2 to make it a mirror backup.

As long as you have a TMOUS phone, you can install the T-Mobile US version. As for the Android ROM, have you even looked in the NAND Development forums? There are tonnes of ROMs, none of them even remotely old, which work perfectly. Take Typhoon CM7 or Hyperdroid, for example.

HD2 leo Rom selection

I am lookinng for anyone that might could point me in the right direction od selecting a rom to flash for the HD2 leo. I havent messed with the hd2 much and have a samsung focus that i have been hacking since they first came out. I am wanting to know if anyone may have a good suggestion for putting the ICS on the HD2, not sure if i should install with sd card or flash the rom to the device? I have been reading up on some things but am still not sure what way would be best. I am not new to flashing roms but am new to the HD2 and ICS. Anyone with any information that could help me choose the right ICS to install would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks, jason

I haven't personally used any ICS builds but I can definitely say flash a NAND Android ROM and probably choose the AOKP build judging purely by the OPs (not AOSP, really no point in that). If you want something different try MIUI ICS builds, I personally never really liked MIUI that much but give it a try.

if you want an ICS rom that is stable use Tytung's NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9..its the best one out there.. here is the link:

First i want to thank both of you for replying to my post. I have downloaded the nand tool kit but cant seam to find the drivers for it, i am getting a fed anti piracy error from both the nand tool kit and also from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090783
I have been reading and looking all about flashing the ICS Cm9 and seams pretty good, the only thing that is confusing me is the the radio. I see that i have to run MAGLDR and then CLK, but am unsure about radio. Here are the other guids i been refering to also about doing the flash.

So when i flash this rom do i have to use the nand tool kit to flash or can i flash just using DLMODE and MAGLDR? Thats the way i flashed my samsung focus rom.
Again thanks for your reply!!
