[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.

[Q] Best WP7 Rom?

Hey guys! Sorry to ask this question for the millionth time, but which custom WP7 rom do you guys prefer to use?
I'm currently on HD2O 7720 and i plan on updating to 7740, but can't decide which one.
The battery life, bugs/glitches, function, etc. all play into which rom works out for me. i don't care about the games or the little stuff; just the rom that can maintain perfect function without crashing.
thanks again!

Yuki ROM lock cards and dont have many other options...
best ROM (especially if you want play XBL games ) is Pdaimatejam Rom

I'm using XBMod/Yuki updatable rom and I find it brilliant, much less hassle than the others as it behaves like a normal windows phone 7 device. I also have no issues playing XBL games

and Rise of Glory to?

i was also thinking about updating using PDAamiatejam's rom. everyone says great things about it.
I can play XBL games fine with HD2O. I can't say it plays the newer games well because i don't have recent games, but with the games i do have, it's smooth and acts like a normal WP7.
I also read a lot of good things about Yuki's, but i don't want to go through the hassle of a locked SD card knowing i may update or flash a different rom in the future.
and thanks for your input guys. much appreciated!

Hi guys!
Using this same topic to my question to don't opening other, o have HD2O 7720 too, and it's simple to update to a new 7740 rom like PDAamiatejam's rom? I need to change radio, etc?
Thanks!

Xbox Yuki room here
Just a heads up, They dont tend to like "best ROM" threads on here, Too Subjective and hurts peoples feelings
Why, Xbox/Yuki?
Simple, ive not flashed a ROM since the initial V2 release several months ago,
everything works, any im already Running the lastest Build 8107, not sure what people are saying about XB Live games, they work fine.
SD card lock is a good thing, someone steals my phone, theres no way of opening my data, if card is unlocked (or locked with no password) then its possible to gain access to the contents.
I think overall, you have Choice with Cab updatable ROMs, its a bit more hassle setting up, but once your done, your done, there has just been a ROM update there, im not going to do that, but i can still update to 8107, again, choice is king, oh an stability is perfect, but only if you have a compatible SD card, id assume thats the same for the other ROMs.

All latest WP7 roms are the same.
Either you want to use one that you can configure your own way without cooking it.
So you can use the Yuki XBmod and once it's flashed once, you can customize it your own way with XBmod cabs. Also you can keep upgrading it via zune or cab and without having to flash the device. The drawback is that is tough to get it working properly with high speed class.
Either you want to configure it your own way cooking it, and then you get pretty clear informations from Yuki to do so.
Either you don't want to configure anything and then you can use any other preconfigured rom but they are quite the same, so depending on your taste you might like one more than an other. The drawback is that if you want to upgrade the WP7 OS, you will have to keep flashing your device and re-install everything each time you will flash your device.
Also if you plan to use android together with WP7 than the Yuki XBmod rom is the best since you can use XBmod cab to specify the size of the android partition you want to use.

[Q] What's the diffrences in HD2 - Windows Phone ROM's

I'm trying to find difference to the most popular HD2 windows Phone ROM's, but i can't seem to find much differences. Can someone try to explain it ?
I have tried the following ROM's:
[ROM] Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki][Updatable]Build 8107 Ready
[ROM][21LANGS] 05.01.12 HD2O© v1.26 WP7 8107 FULLY UNLOCKED [online]
[ROM] DFT UltraFruit
06.FEB HD2 Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.5 mango 7.10.8107.79 v7.3 >FULLY UNLOCKED>CABS Update>
Edit: Forgot Pdaimatejam

and you forgot best ROM Pdaimatejam ROM 8107 v7.3

differences in HD2 - Windows Phone ROM's
this is a really good question. It seems that differences between Windows Phone 7 ROMs are much smaller than between Windows Mobile 6.x Roms (where different ROMs could be completely different, concerning free memory, interface (like Titanium, Manila, SPB Mobile Shell), different builds from different branches (COM2, COM5, etc.). But there are other differences that may be important:
- Back to the Future has build 7004 after flashing, so you have to update to build 8107. Advantage: no need to reflash for future updates, can be updated with cabs or Zune, customizable
- HD20: has already the latest build 8107, uses AnDim's multitouch driver v0.1.3, locks SD card (so no WP7+Android dualboot)*, no cab updates (yet)
- Ultrafruit: brings many new features, i.e. doesn't lock SD card, no camera trick required, but many people have random reboots due to new touch screen driver. Updateble, starts with build 7740
- Pdaimatejam: my personal favorite. Updateable with cabs, latest multitouch driver from AnDim (v1.0.4), build 8107, doesn't lock SD card (ability to dualboot with Android from partitioned SD card)
*not entirely true, see post #10 and 11

Izz0HD2 WP7.5 Build 7.10.8107 Public Beta v3
But why have forgotten Izz0HD2 WP7.5 Build 7.10.8107 Public Beta v3?
It is Enough simple, but worker, than and makes (imponiruet).
That possible compare.

There's little difference, backed up by the fact the main developers are now working together, everything based on ultrafruit has issues with battery and Bt, audio has been corrected in some of them, xbmod v2.1 is solid but lacks some important updates in ultra fruit, my advice is to wait for ultrafruit 2
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

When people say that a ROM doesn't "lock" the SD card does this mean that I won't have issues using the SD card in Android if I got rid of WP7? Last time I tried WP7 (Back to the Future ROM - first Mango release of it I think) I hadn't read about the SD card issues and I actually never managed to recover my SD card from it - I tried all sorts of programs and operating systems on both my PC and my phone but I never fixed it and had to buy a new one.
Now I've got a Lexar class 10 16GB card I really don't want to break it. :/

Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.5 mango 7.10.8107.79 v7.3 .. nice at this time .
more good roms gonna come in future

but can somebody tell me how is the battery under wp7? wich ROM is the most friendly with the bat? wich one lasts longer?thank you very much!

There is no correct answer to that... Depends on the radio, even location where you are...
For me best was ultrafruit... BUT! I got with it random reboots...But only on 2G. Some viliages, subway... Places where is no 3G. But the battery performance was awensome... 4days in standby. And I was using the phone... Not often but using.
The BTTF 2.1 if I changed radio to 5.51(without T) than its mutch better... Still need for the camera trick, but stable rom. With almoust no issues... I haven't tested the Pdaimatejam so there is no compare to that.
Wainting for XBMods v3 or Ultrafruit 2...

Alright, so dualboot is possible with locked sd card if you first partition it and then flash HD2O's WP7. I didn't think about that. But If so, why does it matter at all, if a ROM locks the sd card or not? It should always be possible to unlock it with SDFormatter. At least I always had success with it and others too (here's a video tutorial).

No SDFormatter doesn't work on a fully locked SDCard. Windows simply will not recognize at all, so SDFormatter does not see it. Some seem to have even had them locked and not recovered, but I've unlocked a couple using a Nokia - just for the heck of it.
Reading the many posts on the forum, this seems to have improved dramatically recently. Most roms seem to have a work around now, some easier that others.

To me a usable camera without strange hues is important - this has been addressed by DFT UltraFruit and HD2 Pdaimatejam, and maybe some other recent roms.
Also Battery life is important to me - seems to depend on which radios are used - but this can be changed anyway before install - see the threads.

[Q] Newbie needs assist

Hi!
Good day!
I have a HTC HD2 with Android 2.3.4 installed in it and I would like to try/ switch to Windows Phone7. I've seen a few videos over youtube and read some of the threads here but all I see are windows 7 BETA roms. Is there a "final" rom for the HD2? If not, where do i find the latest Windows 7 ROM for my HTC HD2?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427611 - This thread seem to have compiled all the ROMs and updates for HTC HD2 -Windows (Thanks to the efforts of the developers and the one who compiled) but I cannot seem to figure out which ROM to get. Any assistance would be very much appreaciated.
Apologies for asking a very basic question.
Thanks!
Carlos

WOW..
I don't really know what you mean with BETA roms, because all those roms shall be very well developed, in my eyes.
"A final rom" by meaning a rom that is almost as much developed as the official released WP rom, then you can just choose one from the development threads. In ex. my HD2 is running on XBmod rom and is just like running on a official rom for me. There are many good roms like the one made by HD2Owner, or the on by Pdaimatejam etc. All these roms are WELL developed, not a BETA.
But if you mean a final one by meaning that the development is good enoug so the rom is stopped on development, you can't find one, because all roms are still getting new features just like the official one is updating itself

here you find all ROM's for HD2
recommend this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833
dont forget to read tutorial for install
also dont forget to need ask Microsoft for Live activation code (all HD2 ROM's need this)

All the ROMs are basically the same, albeit tweaks the chef may have added. You have to realize that WP7 is constantly updated by MS...just like Android. All the ROMs sporting v8773 (Tango) have the BETA v8773 build. Thus, when MS releases the official final version of v8773 you'll have to reflash your phone and install all your apps again when the chef releases an update.
The Yuki/XBmod ROM is on the official v8107 (Mango). It is also the most stable and the only updatable custom ROM via official MS Zune update. As such, no reflash needed. It is no longer chef supported, but it's still the most stable one of the bunch.
I have tried almost all of the ROMs out there and still use Yuki/XBmod on my phones.

Hi hjhjhj ,
Noted on that. Things seem clearer now.
I just did it! I was able to boot my phone on Win7 woohooo!!!
Thanks to all who replied to my query

Ok one last problem, when i call Microsoft help desk and ask for an activation code, what details do they ask? will they make sure I have a phone originally installed with WP7?

hard to say that there is stable version. every developer/cooker has their own `abilities and specialties`...but you need to flash every ROM that available in this wp7 forum, than you you which one is better. my personnel experience is, Pdaimatejam and XBmod are good enough (as you have an original wp7 device itself!)
cheers.

If I read the forums correctly, every ROM is stable, with some minor bugs. Depending on the maker of the ROM its all varies. I am currently running HD2O's ROM and I have had no issues, but you also need a good microSD card if you want to be able to run WP7.

same here, im using the Pdaimatejam rom and its working just fine and fluent
ps: i´ve owned a htc titan before so i can compare it, and the Pdaimatejam rom is working pretty damn good

all is mater of luck... all WP7 ROM's is stable... only problems is related to incompatibility and speed of micro SD cards...

Yes, dxdy says right

I do not think the sound in the earpiece or speakerphone is quiet due to the MC card!
Most of the ROM-s here, issued strange noises or clogged with unnecessary and cumbersome applications, probably because of this and do not go smoothly?
Of course I am grateful for the work of everyone in this forum, I know that because of the above lot of people criticized me!
For me, however, highlights the work of
TIGER ROM | 15 April [v5.0.0 | Stock UI | Very Fast | Fullunlock | OS8773]
It is a pity that interrupted work on the development
I hope I'm able to help with my bad English
