Did you really try to install android on your internal memory?
If yes, please search for the next corner and shame on you..

your internal memory (the 512 mb) is called NAND. This won't be touched by Android (well...just take this for granted).
You'll install android on your SD card.
Good luck!

Hey hey i was not saying that to install on ROM, i was asking that how can i run android (froyo) on my HD2 which have 512mb ROM.
means i dont have t-mobile version.
Otherwise i know i should keep the files in micro SD card and then run it.
When i try to run on my HD2 screen fades out and nothings come back. i need to pull my battery out to restart my phone.

it depends on each persons liking.. but since you're just starting to port to android.. i would recommend these combo, as i think both these works right out of the box as they say.. very fast build.. after you try these combination, you can explore with other builds.. but this would be a great start.. try it
VBNRom (Winmo ROM) i know you said you already have chucky ROM, but this one is light and gives me good compatibility..
NexusHD2 (Android) everything works.. BT, camera, internet (only RMNET) and very fast build..

I use chucky myself, and Darkstone's Desire Froyo. Everything works, and I havent noticed any slowdowns so far.
Its a genuine lovestory, really

all windows phone 7 htc phones have 512 mb rom , and i think wp7 consumes more space than android as it has allot of animations and eye candy items

Android for hd2 help

I have looked many time on this site and others trying to find a good link for 2.2 for my hd2. I did find one and it did not load correctly. If someone could help with a good link that would be awesome. you can email link to jrsgvr4 at live.com. Thank you in advance.

Quite a few good solid and stable 2.2 and 2.3 sense and non sense versions, I like sense and recommend the rom in my sig or don't be lazy and use the search or just look!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found myself in the same problem a couple months ago.
What I use is: darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5
link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870518
This is the most stable build I have used. (My opinion)
I have tried Android 2.2 with HTC Sense but some apps don't work and is very laggy.
If you still want to try Sense, use: [7 Mar][DL Desire v4.32.44.12][Sense Re-Engineering with RAM][Simply FAST]
link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881937
I have not tried Gingerbread (2.3) and won't for a while because most apps aren't compatible with Gingerbread:
If you want Gingerbread (2.3), use: [MAR 05] AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB233 CM7|bkup2sdext234 [KERNEL:AmCanAndroid r3.01]

SD Card builds vs NAND builds:
Using SD builds is safer than NAND builds. This is because you can go back to Windows Mobile quickly if for some reason you don't want somebody to know you have Android on your phone.
Personally, I use SD builds so I don't have to go through the risk of bricking my HD2 while flashing a NAND build on it.
RAM (SD CARD) Builds:
Builds that use RAM to run Android are theoretically faster than NAND builds.
RAM is a faster memory compared to NAND memory.
Plus, SD Builds that use RAM don't stress the SD Card and make the phone hot/shorten the SD Card's life.
If you have anymore questions, reply to me.

Why would you ask this question on a development website? Where people make ROM's? Obviously just look in the development section.
A little more info needed, do you have MAGLDR or are you booting from SD?

HD2 LEO (EU) & Sense 3 ROMS -- (Nand vs SD)

I wonder how you people are managing a Sense 3 ROM on the HD2 LEO (EU)...
I flashed a couple of the available Nand Sense 3 ROMs here and all of them were really heavy, I was totally uncomfortable with my HD2, too slow, many glitches, laggy and sometimes hanging :S so impossible for a daily use although Sense 3 is simply tempting ...
To my surprise, I gave a try to a SD Sense 3 ROM (MccMBoxmaX_GS_V_6.5__3D_carousel_effect) and the results were totally incomparable to the Nand Sense 3 version that I've tried..
The question is I don't prefer to use SD ROMs on my HD2 (having to boot Windows first...); so will SD Sense 3 ROMs technically (with their bulky size) be more reliable and faster than similar Nand ROMs or something must have gone wrong with my previous Nand Sense 3 flashing?

something proably with your setup
i have been using sense 3 fora while now and dont see any slowdowns, they are fast and have no issues apart from the known issues of gra[phics glitches and camcorder not working

- Do u have LEO (512) or TMOUS (1024) ?
- How do u partition / prepare your SD card for a Sense 3 NAND ROM? isn't it 1024MB with 0M Swap through MAGLDR ?
- What about your system partition and cash size ? Do you use HD2 Android Nand Toolkit or similars ?
- Do you use cLK or MAGLDR ?
- Is there a clear tutorial how to flash a Sense 3 Nand rom around ? I have no problem with other Nand (non sense 3) roms... like HyperDroid CM7, HyperDroid-GBX, NexusHD2 Gingerbread... BUT unfortunately each has its own set of bugs that made me drop them...
So far my experience with Sense 3 roms is: slowness, lagging, frequent FC (specially during booting).. how are you guys overcoming or surviving with this?

And also, you dont need winmo to run Android from the sd.
SD Android can be run through Magldr directly

You may wanna give this a try...

Fastest, less bugs, no lagging, no FCs, read the user feedback in thread.

yes it is a eu leo
ive had 1 gb ext partition since inception of it being used
i use clk
there is no difference flashing the a sense 3 rom to another other using CWM
providing you wipe the partion and data before flashing you shouldnt get any FC
to be honest all the information you need to flash is in the rom creators post, if you are unsure of how to partition etc or flash then i suggest reading all the information thats available

i have a question: whats better, flashing from NAND or SD?
and why?

[Q] What should I do?

Hey Guys,
Alright few days ago my dad gave his HD2 to me and I went through many Custom ROMS of Android.
I liked this one much and for me it's stable; NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.7 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860 )
Now I don't know what to do, if I install this ROM with NAND, I can install some apps in the beginning but after it show "invalid package error" due to less space in phone memory and it gets slow too.
Few days ago I bought MicroSD 8GB 4 Class memory card and now I'm thinking to install NativeSD version of it with 1GB EXT4 partition.
Will it work like NAND, I mean will it be fast? Or should I install INT2EXT ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124 ) with NAND only. Its been like 3 weeks I'm just removing and installing ROMS, I just want a stable ROM for my HD2.
If you have any other suggestions please share it with me.
Thank you.

Well if you want stable ics then ur on the right Rom....
If you want stable jelly bean than aokp is the way to go...
And if you want the fastest and most stable sense 3.5 Rom then give our tbd Rom by developer sundawg...
Any how I suggest using nativesd except for with sense we use int2ext

With a good sd card, native sd can be faster thn nand

It all depends. If you're like me and have a EU HD2, your nand memory is small so I suggest a gingerbread build with data on ext. I have tried a number of nativesd including a couple of Tytung's but for me they are too slow for daily use.
Perhaps I am spoilt as I was running WP7 before which is lightning fast. Also you don't need a super fast sd card with WP7.
With the NDT rom, it is MIUI which I really like and also the FM radio works. I use Barnacle for tethering which is fast, as long as you don't mind only WEP security. Speed is pretty good, I am using a class 10 Lexar microsd card. Have not tested the GPS much. I'm using the Tytung kernel version.
Again if its performance you are after, WP7 seems like it was made for this phone, as much as I love android...

Maybe someone will add something else

same here
I am in need of one cause my hd2 movistar spain is really buggy to the point that when I hard reset it the accounts stay my device! Please this is my first HTC so please be gentle. LOL

well, fast and stable builds - it's a nand roms. This is a rule.
So, look at hyperdroid(2.3.7) and one of my projects(4.0 125 mb system). If u wanna later versions of android...u should have more memory for system and data, i think.
