A few days ago I installed Ice Cream Sandwich on my HTC HD2 and here the info I have on my About phone.
model number: `nexus hd2
android version: 4.0.3
baseband version 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
kernel version: 2.6.32.15_tytung_ICS_Beta8
[email protected] #218
mod veresion: unknown
build #: IML74K (nexushd2-icecreamsandwich)
ClockworkMod Recovery v1.3
250 MB partition
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,

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.

I have a touch pro 2...I am running the most recent android build for my touch pro 2. I looked at the system details and its reading that the build is the dream aka the g1. Im really feeling the the new sense user interface and as of right now I know there are alot of flashable roms to get the hero's sense ui on the g1.
So is it possible to flash a rom if you are running a ported android build
No, don't even try it. You could permenatly brick your phone. You don't have a G1 theirfore your device has different system requirements.
I want to use something different on my phone.
Now I have "TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.3.9".
Tomorrow I will try WindowsPhone7 but for me Android is better (and I can't live without "sms backup +")
What is the most stable rom with HTC Sense?
I don't mind about 2.0 or 3.0. I want something stable and fast and possibly without too much customizations.
Sorry for my bad english and thanks to all of you for your passion.
I'm praying a chef is reading this section and decides to make a proper stable Sense version again cause there is none left, period. It's terrible...
Your sign tells everything.
So I will try MIUI (which I already tried but is too slow) and then I will return to TyphooN.
i think Rafdroid Rom is really stable and fast.

I'm using the SD version 4.2 in my EU HD2 for 2 week without ANY problem till now.

I am using this now, but have not been able to get anywhere near the speed that is shown in the OP of that thread, not sure if I am doing something wrong.
I'm trying to dualboot windows phone7 (720p :-Q________ ) and rafdroid on sd.
Finger crossed
Rafdroid is the most stable but major speed improvements have been made since, notably by imilka. Unfortunately he never finished his work...
its sems they are unstable if you play certain games on them, ive never had any issues with them so you cannot say every version has issues
Rafpigna's Sense ROM from sdcard is very very slow :-( but it's stable.
I will try Sense ROM and then I will switch back to a cyanogen.
can you tell me a fast and stable sd rom? Now i don't mind if it has sense or cyanogen. I need a usable rom because I want keep WindowsPhone7 and android
EDIT:
I followed this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-cUdB4_5f4
to dual boot
But Android says to insert a sd card!
Well, ALL imilka's builds are FC the same apps. I tried them all. So to me, it's a buggy work. A rom is to be considered stable when every function of the phone is working with decent speed and with all apps working. I would say that 75 % of my games are FC when they all run fine on other ROMS. Even Earth is FC !
The problem is that most of the 3.0 Sense Roms are using imilka's method as a base so they do have those persistent FC on top of their usual bugs.
Let's face it : development for the HD2 is dying and Sense Roms are the best example to prove it.
We still have CM and MIUI fortunately.

Are CM and MIUI fast from sdcard? Or I must install them in nand and say goodbye to windows's 720p camera? (TyphooN CyanogenMod in nand is perfect except for the camera, like all others android rom)
I hope you can understand my english
Well WP7 does have 720p recording but the Camera makes greenish pictures with the flash. To me, good pictures are always better than 720p...
Sure, good colors are better than just more pixel. But for me, the camera seems do a excellent job

Isn't it enough ?
Ok so I know it's possible since I have it going now with a Official MIUI NAND build and a SD Sense build. My question though is would it make the phone run smoother on Sense if it was on NAND with a larger recovery and such and then a MIUI on SD?
Right now I have a 150 Recovery w/5MB Cache I believe for the NAND side which makes MIUI or CM run great...the Sense build I have on the SD card is the BoxMax KS 6.5. Seems like the KS build runs fairly well and this is the first night I loaded the SD build so I'm going to load up my apps and see how it runs tomorrow but was just curious if I had it the other way would it make it run better on the Sense side or not? Sense is such a power hungry OS it would make sense that a larger recovery would run better but I wasn't sure if it would matter on a SD build or not.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Also interested
I am also interested in any feedback. and if there is any conflicts with a nand build with a sd build?
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.
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.
