Wich is the best Android ROM for HTC HD2

Hi
I'm looking for the best Android ROM for HTC HD2?
A plain and simple ROM, much like HTC Desire.

me2 ............

Open up your phone. There should be a scavenger hunt map on how to find one. N when u find it. Make sure u throw your phone against the wall cuz it'll make it run faster.

the best rom is the one that will serve your needs better.
but you'll only know which is the one after your try some.
lucky you, there are lots of android ports here, ready to be downloaded for free.
by the way, very smart question. you're the first one to post it here, nobody never thought of it, so the search button would be useless for you anyway.

yeah me too,
and while I'm here, which is the best Winmo ROM, oh and should I sell my HD2 to buy a lawnmower? if so which lawnmower should I buy....
finally, and I'm sorry if this is in the WRONG SECTION, but which flavour ice cream should I have for dessert? sorry if you think my questions are a WASTE OF TIME.

Well this can be easily answered roms with the latest michelparamy kernel or darkstone kernel from froyostone v2. That ones use graphics patch by darkstone wich make the rom much faster.

Hands down
Get MATT C Froyo version of Android. is the most complete, stable and updated.

Closed.

Are all the builds currently being maintained sense based?

Which just proves you're not observant. Yes, there are a lot of sense builds because they add extra features plus can be disabled easily for basic stock experience but there are cyanogen and stock builds out there if you LOOK. Hell, I was just at one, which is why I remembered to come back here. Don't be upset because I chose to answer you in the same simple way you asked. It's not my fault you don't see what's in front of you. Now browse. Finding new fun builds that fit our specific needs is why we're here, is it not?

ya they pretty much dont care about vanilla froyo and those that do are either old or autobuild , or are restricted to certain outdated kernels ... also cuz of this reason most cm versions will have touch screen lag issues and all the goodies that come with that , so basically if ya want a decent vanilla froyo experience hd2 isnt for u

Thank you for a coherent answer. Thats what I was starting to see about froyo. I have been updating my HyperDroid on my own but seem to have met my technical limit and am considering switching. Everything is great with it, but I'm considering whether or not I want the new camera. Another round of decisions I guess.

The XDA application does not seem allow us to see response/reply titles. Only original post titles. So I never saw your first No answer. I apologize and thanks for your response. I was looking for an quick opinion from fellow users and I certainly was not asking anyone to go do research for me.
I don't know if you have noticed but over the last few months folks have really gotten a bit over the top with the sarcasm in response to questions, almost to the point where it is insulting in some cases. I have seen this more and more. My initial thought when reading your reply WITHOUT the title line was here was more sarcasm. So again, I apologize and thanks for your response.

There was definite sarcasm, so I can apologize for that. Not at the level of some of the other people here get to. People have been getting extremely venomous and I was just trying to do a quick chuckle thing. Anyway, you should expect to see a lot more stock android builds soon because I'm sure there will be a flood of gingerbread options over the next few days.

[Q] HTC Wildfire S

I have just seen some wildfire s movies and the point is:
it's runneing gingerbread and it has a flip clock.
My question is: If the htc wildfire s has nearly the same things as the normal wildfire.
Can we (if the wildfire s is released) port gingerbread from the s version to ours.
Or will there be an update with the new sense and gingerbread.
Please could someone that know something about it say something to me, please.
And my second question is: Can someone already put the new sense in a rom.
I hope someone really know something about it.

It is not nearly the same. It is totally different. And, to get the new Sense, the code has to be released by HTC. Till that, there wont be a GB Sense Enabled ROM for the Wildfire.
Also, I am pretty sure with the release of the S, HTC will not conveniently forget the original Wildfire and probably not release any updates for it. Its basically an EOL Product now. Its the way the industry works.

After some monthes on the market every mobile phone is EOL. You are right!

If you really want gingerbread on wildfire, you can try Cyanogen 7. There is no htc sense with cyanogen though.

Just for the new sense

Its more like the aria or gratia (what is the point of that - considering the wildfire s is better) or legend or salsa than the wildfire (they are all the same phone in a different box with a different rom)

Can we (if the wildfire s is released) port gingerbread from the s version to ours. -HVGA vs QVGA.... lots of resizing and xml, program modifying. And devs are not really interested
Or will there be an update with the new sense and gingerbread. - Not really with a spray of impossible
Please could someone that know something about it say something to me, please.
And my second question is: Can someone already put the new sense in a rom.
-I have not seen Sense 3.0 on a QVGA device, so low porting chances.

Hello people,
I'm using cm 7 right now.
This is a question to alex, I think that you know more about it.
So is it possible to port htc sense to cm7.
And so yes:How can I do it on my own.
So please answer.
edit ment normal sense.

It is possible to get the Gingerbread update but no way it would get the new Sense.

No it's not possible to port anything HTC to an AOSP ROM, there is a theme though which makes it look like HTC Sense!

why not

Why not.
I mean can not one app ported to a aosp rom?

Simply because HTC apps require a framework that AOSP ROMS do not have as it is power consuming and is slow.

Sadly the HTC framework is not compatible with AOSP ROMS at the ROMS have to support it. Your english is fine, don't worry!

As djdevine2 stated above, porting Sense would be very hard or even impossible. Sense is like a bug that crawls really deep inside the Android OS. Eliminating is it hard, I imagine introducing it would be also very, very hard.
And not to mention the possible Legal issues that could appear

maybe there is hope
It has also been rumored that the HTC Wildfire will receive the recently released 2.3 Gingerbread update.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Wildfire
This is just a rumor, but there is still hope.

Doesn't look so. If you look at the citation on that particular line, and, read that thread in another forum, there is nothing there to state that HTC has said anything about 2.3 on Wildfire. It is simply a speculative thread, and, points to CM7 for 2.3 on Wildfire.
"You can have your doubts about when your phone maker will finally get around to delivering an Android 2.3 update (March if you're with HTC, June if Samsung, 2017 if you're unfortunate enough to own a Sony Ericsson), but the smartphone dev community doesn't work that slowly. The guys who build custom ROMs just for the sheer pride of it have already begun work on delivering Gingerbread to owners of HTC's EVO 4G, Droid Eris, and Wildfire."

New HD2 ANDROID users here is a very good rom...in my opinion.

Yeah, I can see that. However, IMHO, to know which one is suitable you all need to test it yourself.
I tried most of all available roms here, and I experienced that some rom works some dont (even if others said it works).
You will know what is "best" rom suitable for you after you testing it
Cheers...

Your exactly right....but "they" wont ever understand that!!

Don't you think the title of this thread is a little bit offensive? I'm absolutely on your side, because you are right, those people who are always asking "what is the best ROM?" and "which one is the fastest" are annoying me too. But I'm pretty sure no one likes to be called a noob

I am a noob and was just looking for how to run Android on my HD2 and came across this post. Good timing. Sometimes it's like running a gauntlet just trying to find a simple answer or instructions. There just seems to be SO many threads.

What do you mean by iPhone? Tbh I like it. I'm not a huge Apple fanboy (or else I'd have an iPhone) but this ROM gives you the best of both worlds. What both OS' do very well. I just arrange all my apps into folders. I'd rather that than have a long scrollable list.
The MIUI backup is also a great feature too.

it's pretty,but i like more the htc build.

This is the Q&A and General forum....not sure why mods on this forum even let these threads stay up...that's my 2 cents. Hence the thread is neither a question or a answer but a comment and opinion, and just clutter IMO barely even general.

It's general too. Where else would it go? Development? NO WAY. Themes and Apps? No as it's neither of those so it has to go here.

what does good battery life mean? How long does it last on normal usage?

[Memories] The nostalgic thread

Do you remember the good old Sense 2.1 times?
I used it for about three days and then went onto custom ROMs. I've tried many flavors (CM, MIUI) but I always went back to Sense ROMs.
I've never really been over the good old time when Sense 2.1 was all I had...
I'm somehow missing this. I want it back. But I also love Sense 3.x...
So this is just a thread to remember the old times...
If you have any screenshot, please post it. I want to get this old feeling back.
I'm also always looking at the front of my DHD package, looking on the screen and trying to touch it...
And I know I'm not the only one!
So, let's talk about the DHD beginnings, the old software, the old times.
And for the really nostalgic guys (I'm also thinking 'bout this): look in the DHD development section. There is a sticky with many ROMs listed. Also the good old 2.1 is under them.
I hope you understand me and I'm not the only one.
Thanks for reading.

I recently looked through the dev threads starting at the last page bought about by a feeling of nostalgia. I was even considering flashing an old discontinued rom just for old time sakes but left it for a rainy day. I think I'll really miss my DHD once I upgrade later this year.

I liked the more 2D weather animations in Sense 2.x, also the scrolling wallpaper as you change screens left/right. Maybe you can run the old ROM in an emulator in future...
One thing I did not like as much was the call answer screen controlls, especially whilst the phone was in pocket. Sense 3.x got it right now.

Sense 2 was very nice, less cluttered than Sense 3.x, but Sense 4.0 should change all of that back.
