Basically I want to run WinMo and Android on my tmouse HD2. What I need to know is how to install the android, everything I need with installing it and what is the best/stable android for the hd2 right now. I know how to flash custom roms but I am completely new to the android thing and want to try it out, so can someone plzzzz help??
Check this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945427
and if you want to keep WinMo, then look at HD2 Android SD Development section of HD2 android forum.
If you've got US version, then you may especially look at

I'm not sure if his ROMs are also for TMOUS HD2, but I find the most stable ROMs by Rafdroid.
Thnx man apreciate it!
Try searching for AmeriCanAndroid. Or just go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11417869
It's a work in progress, but its a very nice build.
It's really not that difficult to do. But give the team there a break: Do read the FAQ before asking noob questions. They are pulling their hair out over users who want to be spoon fed without learning.
I know a lot of people will be coming into this thread to berate me, telling me to read the stickies and search the forum.
I have read the stickies and searched the forum, but the tutorials all assume a level of knowledge I don't have. Please don't get angry at me.
I've recently purchased a European-spec HTC HD2 in order to run Rafpigna's latest DHD build, Rafdroid HD 4.0.1. I've read multiple guides and tutorials and I still don't quite grasp the fundamentals of what I'm supposed to be doing - I've never rooted an Android device before or flashed a custom ROM, and I'm worried I'll mess something up.
With that said, I was wondering if anybody who was experienced at flashing Android to the HD2 could help me out doing it my first time? Specifically, I don't understand the SD Card partitioning process and what ClockworkMod is or how to use it. I haven't actually found explanations for these things, as everything I've read assumes you already know what they are.
Could somebody help a brother out?
Again, if you feel the need to have a go at me for not being able to do this myself, consider this - not everybody on XDA is as tech savvy as you. I come here to talk mobile devices and see what developers are up to, but I am not myself very experienced under the hood.
Thanks for reading,
zuka
Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11097380
It's really easy and very detailed, step by step guide of all steps you need to do in order to get Android running on your HD2
Rafdroid in his topic also details all steps

As to the sd partitioning part - look at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10654666#post10654666
ROMs that are based on Desire HD ones are just too big to fit in HD2 International - so they use ext partition on SD card to keep data (after partitioning you'll have two partitions on SD card - first one in FAT32 format and second one in ext3 format).
I understand that not everyone is techsavy, but I really don't think how gunjahman's guide could be any simpler. I can try - according to my knowledge - help you, but please, read two threads I've mentioned above, try to follow them and ask questions, when you have more detailed problems.
No no, that's been really helpful, thanks. I now understand the SD partitioning, which is one of the things I was really struggling with.
One of the things I don't get after reading those tutorials (which I didn't find on my first search, thankyou for those) is what radio I need to flash? I can't find a mention of it in Rafpigna's thread and I'm not sure what to do in regards to that.
Same goes with kernel. I can't figure out at what stage or how I'm supposed to apply to kernel whilst installing the ROM.
Thanks for your reply though, muchos gracias
@ Radio - In first thread:
"B: Install Custom Radio ROM
Prerequisites
* HSPL3 ~ SPL-2.08.HSPL
In order to flash custom radio ROM, you need to have HSPL3 installed on your HTC HD2. Follow this guide ~ How to Install HSPL3 on HTC HD2? (Video) to install. By the way, I used Radio Leo 2.15.50.14 on my guide. You can use it or any other HTC HD2 Radio ROM version."
As to the kernel, then I do not think, that you should change the one provided with ROM - at least, if there's no specific need for it. Just flash the ROM - http://hotfile.com/dl/109228969/a4b154a/full_rafdroid_hd_ext_4r0f1.zip.html
I admit that you CAN apply another kernel, but you DO NOT HAVE TO do it in order to have fully functional Android on your HD2
Thanks mate, that's all I needed to know. Appreciate your help, sorry for being a simpleton. Cheers!
Glad, I could help
I'm glad you did without saying "you're an idiot, google is your friend"
hi people
I got hold of my brothers phone again, i have a desire so im not all up on this.
recently i flashed his HD2 with a custom android Rom, well with this NAND rom he has no internal space and i cannot save or transfer files to SD card. can anyone help.
I need to know which is the best rom to use???
cheers
hi,
Please read this post:

If its your brothers phone you shouldn't be plying with it. If you want to get into flashing and playing with a HD2 buy your own.
Before you flash anything or ask any questions please go and read the sticky topics and use search function.
hello everyone. i recently had my touch pro2 swapped out for the hd2 and i would like to put android on it. i've found some files from a developer named darksense but i'm not quite sure how to make use of them. can anyone explain how to install android on a fresh HD2? or at least link me to a thread in the forums that will help. thank you in advance
p.s. i've noticed two installation methods(SD and NAND) i'd prefer the NAND because from what i've gathered, i dont HAVE to have an SD card that will hold the OS
