In terms of stable WinMo is way ahead.
You can use it everyday if are ready to compromise - GPS is nowhere near WinMo.
Ocasional bugs with keyboard, camera, camcorder, laging.
To be honest - it's not "perfect" but i wouldn't go back to WinMo
Regarding best choice - no such thing. Flash as many as you can and see what suits your taste.
I can recommend Desire/DesireHD/Z builds. Their "stuff" is closer to HD2 specs and most of it works great.
Gingerbread has too many issues for me.
Cyanogen Froyo builds are great, i think those builds are really stable, but the design is not my favorite.
I think a lot of Android roms are close to stable.
I use it for everyday use without any problems.
The battery might be a little bit better in WinMo, but it lasts me a day without a problem.
There is not gonna be a WinMo on my HD2 again... for sure..
You can always go back to WinMo if you dont like it....Trust me Android is way better.
ok thank you for the advice ive looked at a few roms and i saw this one was very popular with the most replays so im going to install this,
how does it compare to others around?

EDIT sorry ive just saw this is gingerbread ill not be using this then ... will post my choice when i find one
before you jump into full NAND, why not take a test drive. I recommend these SD builds. I used the first one for everyday use before switched to the NAND of the second (v2.6) version. Just copy the files on the SDcard and go. See how you like Android. If you like Android the NAND version are even better. (Faster and more Stable)
-=MDJ FroYo HD v.4.6=-
DL DesireZ v2.2
Also use a Auto Boot loader so you don't even need to click any bottoms when you boot up.
Exceller Multiple Build Loader
So,
any grapevine? Any info flying around about when the next edition of DFT / some other awesome developer is out on WP7 - HD2?
Well for a start you can try going to their site if u can read Chinese, or you can use the two alternative custom roms found
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938083
oh yea, about those roms... do they fix battery issues? They both look the same
My battery has been running great and i think the battery indicator has been fixed.
Im running the 1.00.00 version since it was the first listed, didnt really look into the moonlight
Well, looks like this is will be the best for now! *sigh*
Anyone with inside info (in english ) on dft's next plans (with hd2 )

I installed ml, just my luck but im guessing since they both have reg fixes, it must be common to both, will respond with the battery life review.
Anyone with Moonlight roms battery reports?
i am using Moon light now battery seems better than wm6.5
I´m using the moonlight ROM too, great stuff...
Guess it won´t take too much time to port the "official" update itself over to HD2, as the most difficult part seems to be done. But, the jailbreak thing might be another barrier... Chevron won´t work anymore as they say.
For me, the unusable camera is the worst part of the current build... I am perfectly fine with the rest, it´s much better than a stock WinMo ever was. As a matter of fact, it´s even good for everyday use.
I realy think that a new build from dft will come shortly after the official update...
For now I'm shortly back to Android until thoses three bug aren't corrected :
camera focus , loud sound (I think that done in moonlight) , and touchscreen
....

Hi guys, I`ve just bought HTC HD2, and I`m tired of WinMobile, because my last 2 cell phones had WM. I was watching for SD android rom, but there are so many of them, I can`t pick. Maybe you can help me and give your advice. I need stable, fast android ROM, that has WORKING 3G / Data, Audio, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 720p PLAYBACK,Phone, Camera, Camcorder, GPS, USB Disk FUNCTIONS.
It would be perfect that it has Android market.
Looking forward to your advices
P.S , is there any threat of flashing Android Rom for the first time?
I am looking for the same thing, I've tried a few of the roms here on first page.
The one I liked most was the one from darkstone "darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5" but it aint been updated since 18th december and is outdated and has security flaw, yet it worked perfect.
I could do all the things you said, and it was super fast, no lag, nothing bad.
All the newer ones dated march all have the SENSE thing, it sure makes it look nice and like your still in WinMo but theyr also MUCH slower and MUCH less responsive. Also many have trouble running games I could just install from market that ran with no trouble on the darkstone thing.
Of these I tried: "AmeriCanAndroid AOSP", "RAFDROID HD 4.1" and "BOYPPC")
So I will wait for responses here too ^^
(Regarding the slow sense thing, maybe its possible to disable it somewhere, beyond my knowledge how to though)
these are my favorite SD builds, all the stuff you mention seems to work for me.

the second one is a chinese port of a great ROM with an iPhone feel to it, it's quite fast and awesome.
No, there is no harm in flashing an Android ROM to NAND, it actually flashes over MAGLDR which is a bootloader than flashes over HSPL, this basically means no matter what you flash Android-wise can be undone very easily with no risk.

See my comparison chart: http://bit.ly/hUCNww for SD builds. Suggest Darkstone SuperRAM (v1.5 or Sense v0.1). I have not found one build that beats these - please speak up if any of you found a better one - SD or NAND.
I find coredroid (nand for all leo versions), to be very stable and fast with a good battery life, Over the past 2 weeks no lock ups everything works, the odd tweak is required but its well worth looking into
Hello Folks,
Right now I'm using wildfire, but I don't like it any more. I'm planning to switch to HTC HD2. how good is it ?
More over I'm no more impressed with Windows Operating system available in it (W 6.5). I have gone through some positive replies and videos on HD2 running Android 2.3 (Ginger Bread). So please help me out to find which ROM will be fast good enough with less issues to use on HD2.....
I'll be waiting for your valuable replies !
Thanks in advance

Android runs perfectly without any performance issues for a longer time now.
There are a lot of roms in the Hd2 Android-nand section which are running without any bugs.
Which fits to you you have decide yourself.
I would recommend you to have a look at typoon(look at my sig), hyperdroid and nexusHD2..think thats a good start to begin with.
you would be best off getting a native android device
If you want a dualboot system with a SD-card-Android, than look here:

Go for a native android device
Of course there are some nice Android builds for HD2. BUT, nothing is perfect. For example I have these two issues that are not solved in any build.
1. The speaker volume (ringtones, notifications, music) is very low on android compared to windows mobile.
2. Whenever you press the wake up button the screen comes up only after 1 or 2 seconds.
So there are some issues like these. So better go for a native Android device.
I would have to second Pongsters Hyperdroid CM7 newest build. The only thing you need to do is replace the stock camera with another. Like the MIUI camera or the LG camera.

Very good rom indeed. Very fast and smooth. This build took back my flash addiction hehe

At the moment, i am very impressed by MccMBoxmaX GS V6.0 [Desire S] Gingerbread 2.3.3 [Sense 2.1+3.0]. The whole hardware of my HD2 seems to work as it has to do. Runs quick and smooth without lags from a class 6 SD-Card.

These issues are solved in some roms:
The sound is related to /system/lib/libaudio.so & /system/etc/firmware/default.acdb
I forget what the wake up lag is related to (Sensors lib i beleive)
I use a personally modded version of CyanogenMod-7 to run on my HD2 and don't suffer from your problems!
It does depend which rom you are using but you should be able to patch/replace those files!
Hope this helps

Hi....
In my opinion the graphic glitches are annoying in current gingerbread roms (as much as I experienced)... I use Desire DL roms from SD, but I'm looking for a relatively bug-free rom with htc-sense to flash instead of WM 6.5 and run android directly.... I'll be honored if someone could recommend me a rom, running as fast as possibe with least bugs, and specially without delay after installing applications or waking up on calls....
Thanks in advance...

Use official Miui from Miui-devs.com. Rom updated every week, if bugs are found, they usually get fixed with-in few days or in next weekly built.
so far i have no bugs. other that common signal bar issue that most in not all users have. Sense 2.1 ROM was also bug free for me.
is it true that running android via NAND has less battery consumption than via SD ?
cos I run via SD and the battery drops like a %every 2 minute...if I am on wifi...
Hello.
I know that there have been lots of topics like this one but all of them are old and ROMs have been updated since. I wanted to hear some opinions from users. I have 3 ROMs which I thought about: HD2O, DFT, XBmod-Yuki.
Actually I'm using HD2O. It works fine, it is smooth and fast but I just ordered 16gb microSD and I will be going to flash WP7 again anyway so i wanted to ask about your opinions about the best one. I picked those 3 because they are the most popular as I can see and I am only interested in Mango builds. I could of course try them all at my own but I've read that one of them takes 2 hours to install and then I'll have to use it a couple of days to find out if it's good enough.
I will be more than grateful if you could write here some pros and cons in using those builds. I've read that some have heating issues, some have WiFi issues and I want to know how are things going today. Are the problems there still? As far I haven't had problems with HD2O but as I said I will have to reflash on new microSD so I could flash other ROM if I found out that it will be better than the one I'm using.

XBmod-Yuki
XBmod-Yuki has worked fine for me, got me up to 7740 and Marketplace. The only non-functioning component is the compass.
Yeah, 1 vote for HD2O. For me, HD2O's ROM is not as smooth as Yuki's one but the battery last much longer
hey where can i get these roms the 2 listed here thanks
i'm using yuki's rom v2 and everything is running smooth on my TMOUS HD2 except for 2 things:
1: Battery life is very low. lucky to get 24 hours on regular use. however, using the camera trick seems to have helped this a lot.
2: speaker phone does not work properly on calls. It is the same volume as without speaker phone, so I still have to keep the phone next to my ear. anyone know a fix for this one?
I'll try HD2O, because it seems more easily.
What is the XBmod-Yuki better than HD2O at? Can you tell me some usefull things XBmod-Yuki can and HD2O can't?
i'm using the DFT W7. My phone can last all day on idle without charge. If i used it like play some games, surf the internet on wifi for like 5 minutes and listen to music for about an hour, my phone would last around 15 hours or so in total with idle. everything is running smooth for me. a few crashes every now and then, but only when my wifi is on.
I think I'll stay at HD2O so. I thought that the other builds maybe have some extra features but battery drainage seems to be the only difference. I'm listening to the music few hours a day and my Wi-Fi is almost always on and battery stays from 6 AM to 10 PM without problems. And no crashes or freezes at all.
I'd recommend the Yuki-Xmod ROM. I've been using it since september (7720 Mango) without any real trouble, battery life usually gets me through the days without issues. Actually, I almost forgot that I wasn't using a genuine WP7 handset! Indeed only the compass isn't working... had everything else (Marketplace, Zune, HTC apps) working like a charm!
Only yesterday something gave up on me: the storage card (8g Sandisk) suddenly is no longer recognized, resulting in continuous rebooting of the phone. I'm still waiting for reply on how I can try to recover the data on my card, before formatting and hard-resetting....
Albeit somewhat off-topic, any help would be highly appreciated!!
cheers, Jentse
Thank you for your respond.
Like I said I will stick to HD2O as there are no visible advantages in changing to XBmod.. The only thing I am hearing is "XBmod is the best" but no one can tell what XBmod is better then HD2O at. I would like to hear an opinion from someone who tried both ROMs.
The other reason I'll stay at HD2O is that i heard that battery last longer than in XBmod.
