[Q] Just got my HD2...Which Android to use?

Hi:
I just got my Telstra HD2, and am very excited about installing Android on it but don't know which one to install. I also have a HTC Pure which I am also running Android on.
On the Pure, I boot into Windows 6x and then start another program called Haret something or another, and I then have Android.
I am looking for the same functionality on my HD2. I will basically use the HD2 Android for apps, and the HD2 Windows for Calls/Contacts/Calender, so I need to be able to switch back and forth via rebooting or some other way in an easy fashion.
Any links, suggestions would be greatly appreciated...and thank you in advance!

Before I switched to a NAND build I used this:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870518
Check the forums - it's all a matter of taste! They're all good!
Hope this helps

If you want a Nand build to chose from, see this list [17 FEB]HD2 NAND BIBLE [roms][kernels][mods]
I aggree with jellywobbles on the SD build, it's sollid and fast.

The stuff in my SIG will work great

Dont hesitate and install the Hyperdroid GBX 5.0
Its by far superior to the rest in terms of speed, smoothness and unlike the others the creator actually helps you resolve your probs
cheers...

If you still want winmo, you must use a SD build... look in the SD development section for SD builds. It will work the same way with haret.exe, but you must also run clrcad first, then haret.exe.

Hi if you want android with sense use this:

Without doubt the best NAND ROM for the HTC HD2 you can get. That's the good news - bad news its has been removed from XDA due to GPL issues, so you'll have to hunt for it!
Be interesting to see just how long the links you posted stay here! No doubt a mod will edit your post & remove them!

Skink Clean Desire
I prefer the Sense UI. Basically the dhd and dz builds are great and have the new sense but i couldnt find a rom that was stable and ready for daily use.
Now i use the Skink Clean Desire 1.2.
Its fast, stable and battery-friendly, what more would you want?

What's the battery usage like?
My MDJ CyanogenMod 7 v. 2.6 with CWM build is awsome, and seems to run for ever. I switch my phone on @ 0530 & off at about 2300 & its often got about 40% left. I use it quite a lot in the day for SMS, eMail, WhatsApp, Bluetooth etc.
Personally I dislike the Sense UI, but with CWM installed on my HD2 I am always trying alternative builds! The joys of CWM eh?
May give it a whirl.

I remember well what it is, when you have to choose your first Android builds for your HD2. Now that I have used several ones, I can give you some advice.
First, keep it simple, and stay with pure SD builds. By this, you keep booting first in WM 6.5 just as you are doing now with your Pure, and you then boot Android with the usual CLRCAD and HARET. This can be fully automated by using EBL (Exceller boot loader). You always keep the possibility to quickly return to WM 6.5 in case something is wrong with the Android build.
Beware that for many builds which include "SD" in their name, they are not pure SD and require you to flash MAGLDR. When I mean pure SD builds, I speak about builds which do not require ANY flashing, which makes everything much more easy in the beginning. You will have plenty of time later to choose more sophisticated options.
Now, about choosing a specific SD build, it more depends about your taste and personal feeling. Don't blindly trust those who tell you that this one "is the best ever", you will find the same comment for every build.
You have basically two choices : builds with HTC Sense, and builds without.
Among the builds with Sense, I really liked "MDJ's froyo HD 4.6", but it has been removed (too long to explain here). I also liked the "darkstone SuperRAM Sense v0.1".
Among the builds without Sense, you will also have the opportunity to test the latest "Gingerbread" version of Android, which does not exist currently with "real" HTC Sense (beware of false claims in the title of the build).
Personally, I must tell that, now that I have discovered and used Gingerbread, I will not be able to go back to older Froyo.
I am currently using the "[FEB 16]AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB232" from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957652
and it works really really well. It is easy to install, just read all the first post AND the FAQ.
But don't expect any build to be perfect, that all have some glitches.
And again, in the end it is much about personal preferences.

I always have a delima of which one is the best. With the plethora of ROMs, it is hard to pick out the best.

[Q] [HELP] Installing Android on HTC HD2 ?

Hello guys,
I'm planning to buy HTC HD2 Mobile from my friend, it comes with Windows 6.5. I will buy it only if I can Install install Android in it. I know it can be installed with Android (I have seen some Youtube videos).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL46dixEuK0
I'm very much interested to install
MDJ's CyanogenMod 7 (CM7) for HTC HD2
So where do I get this MOD to download (The latest version) ?
Please also provide the Install Instructions
P.S : And also suggest me any best and stable Android ROMS

Please search around and read the forums before posting here. This was one of the most asked questions and there are countless tutorials to load Android on the HD2. And regarding your question, every HD2 is able to run android on nand,android on sd, WP7 and WM. You just have to ensure it has the right HSPL and Radio before doing so. As for MDJ's android build you requested, it has been quite some time since the latest version has been released. Its not safe to say he has left the HD2 scene,but his kernels,gps,etc are still used by current builds. And he was the pioneering developer to bring Gingerbread to HD2 and making many developments in CM7 for the HD2 as well. The original thread for the build you mentioned is closed. But his work has been carried forward and what you see in the NAND&SD forums is partly due to him. So im sure you will be equally home with the other great builds out there.

Recommending the best and stable builds maybe a bit hard. It depends on what you want in your build. I presume you are looking for a NAND CM7 build,since you asked for MDJ's CyanogenMod 7. I used to try many builds when i got my HD2 a year ago. So ive 'settled down' now and have narrowed down to a few builds:
For CM7:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769026), (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951), (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1199917) & (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209474)
There are other CM7 builds in the forums, but the only reason ive not listed them here is because ive not tried them. So you should try the NAND builds you prefer and then decide. Inevitably, there will be a slower and more buggy ROMs, but most of the builds should not have major bugs since development has come a long way now. There also good sense builds out there, but there only a few, so there should be no problem in spotting and trying them. Hope this helps.

1. Read the countless guides/watch countless video tutorials on how to do this.
2. The ROM you have requested is insanely out of date, (when I joined the thread had already been closed, I was searching for it for ages) try a newer one e.g Hyperdroid or Typhoon CM7.
3. Nobody can recommend the best or most stable ROM. What works for one person may not work for another, it's a matter of taste. One easy way to see what you really like is to just try them out. As long as you stick to the guides, you won't risk damaging your phone.
In future please read the forums and use the search tool before posting.

[Q] Which Android port is the most stable for HTC HD2?

Hi Friends!
I have had experience in the past with iPhone's and iOS, but now I am putting some hands at Android phones.
Actually, I have a HTC HD2 with a poor operating system, which is Windows... I want to port Android there, and my question is, which one of the Android OS is the most stable in this phone. I know there are various versions of Android available for the HD2, but I am looking for the Android that will perform flawlessly and is the easiest to port (straightforward, using tool, not coding), I don't want to put my head in danger on the first attempt.
Which of the Androids works best on HTC HD2, and what tools do I use to make the port for that particular OS version.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards
PS: provide me with direct links please!
IMPORTANT: by default this phone was factory locked to T-Mobile US, now I am using it outside the us in another country, but I did not perform anything on it to change the radio settings, the person that gave me the phone has unlocked it...If I port Android to this phone will it risk the radio settings (I would not like the lose the possibility of using it with other carriers), or porting Android does not mess with the radio at all...
For future reference, what type of Driver/Tool is required to have installed so the phone can interact with computer?

If you used the search tool or Google you could have easily found 100+ threads about the best ROM.
I would say use a CM7 or MIUI ROM. There are tonnes, don't be lazy, I CBA to post links (yes, that is very hypocritical of me).
As far as I know Android won't mess with your carrier stuff
To install just download the HD2 NAND Toolkit, install HSPL, MAGLDR, CWM then ROM (see this guide).

I tend to understand that he wants to PORT and not INSTALL an Android ROM. Isn't that correct?
If that is what you are asking then Gingerbread non-sense is currently the easiest to port. you can use the kitchen found within the development forum.

I wasn't too sure, but I assumed that the use of the word 'port' was simply a misunderstanding, in the same way that many people say that they have 'flashed' an SD Android build.
@OP, If I was wrong then I take back what I said about not searching and stuff cos this is clearly not something heavily discussed and there isn't as much information available about it.

In my experiance hyperdroid cm7 has good speed stability, and battry life. This is a minimal rom with not a lot of fluff. If you like iphone fluff i would suggest ndt miui stable, miui has iphone simple fluff with andorid power, while cm7 has extended power user features like cpu controll built in.
to learn how to do this look for a newbie thread. They walk you form stock with being locked down to android and unlocked for flashing new roms.

I would go for hyperdroid it's fast and stable.

htc hd2 no sound when you turn on gps bluetooth

Friends, I am looking and wanted to put android 4.4 on my htc hd2 kitkat ...
until arrangement have version 4.0.4 which gives up to spending ...
works well ... is stable ...
but when I turn on the GPS NDrive is whether the IGO if the bluetooth connected no sound ...
I turn off the bluetooth GPS works well ...
I've seen and reviewed the settings of GPS and Android and nothing ...
because friend? the reason friends?
thank you all

Hello and welcome,
You seem to be new here, let me be your guide.
First of all, Android 4.4 is not released yet, so you can't have it on your HD2 device. And even when it is released, that does not guarantee that the HD2 will get it.
Secondly, this has nothing to do with SD development. Development forums are only for posting stuff you made/contributed to. Questions and problems should go to the HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General section. And please don't double thread, if you have two questions just ask them in the one thread.
Last but not least, you did not provide us with any information about your device. Without information, we can't help you. Type everything about the device then we might be able to help you.
Enjoy your stay here and have fun.

Okay, this is going to be difficult. By "device information" I meant what ROM do you have? Don't say Android 4.0.4, tell us the exact name of the ROM or give us a LINK. I don't use bluetooth so I don't know, all I can do is to suggest you to search within the ROM's thread.

Unfortunately, I don't use bluetooth so I don't know if there's a problem with that particular ROM. Search the term "bluetooth" here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860 and see if you find any hits.

Android kitkat 4.4 doesn't work yet with HTC HD2
I've try Android kitkat 4.4 onto my HTC HD2 for about (3 weeks ago) but doesn't work. So i've put other rom onto my phone called by name; <NexusHD2-JellyBean-CM10.2_V3.zip> onto my Kingston SDcard 16 GB and run these Android 4.3 firmware (now for 2 weeks) onto my HTC HD2 without fails and also even faster then ever before (other Android roms) and also look a like that wifisignal also been stronger then for years ago...
I'll still waiting when Android kitkat 4.4 is compatible with my HTC HD2 but i'll found a Android 4.3 firmware onto my internetbrowser <http://android.hd2roms.com/all-builds/> and this works super! There's no app or something else whats going to crashed...

Hello there.
The Androidversion 4.0.4 is not even the kitkat 4.4 and also the romversions Android 4.0.4 till 4.2.2 is not even a kitkat,
but i've running now for almost twoo weeks the Androidversion 4.3 and still this is not even a kitkat, but a cyanmogen (CM) 10.2 and
these latest <http://android.hd2roms.com/all-builds/> romversion works very good and fine with HTC HD2 and is very fast and stable.
This rom download (see above these line) is for free, but be patient when you started upload Androidversion 4.3, because it cost about time 30 minutes when everything is ready.
It's about 15 minutes for uploading .zip rom from SDcard and after when phone started automatically (after .zip rom installed) cost again 15 minutes when .zip rom run into screen (*light blue circle/turning around like a mirror clock* with inside wroten words *Cyanmogen*,also wroten in color light blue) and these circle with Cyanmogen inside shall run about 10 minutes after screen going over to uploading apps after 5 or even more minutes ready and your HTC HD2 shall run after finish to adjust phone first time...
Wanna need more turtorial (How to change/upload HTC HD2 Android version 2.2.1 till 4.2.2 into Android version 4.3)...
I shall layout step by step what to do, and it's very simple to upload the Android version 4.3

[Q] Best custom roms for HTC HD2

Hello everyone,
I am new to HTC and custom roms can someone wrote briefly which are the best custom roms for my HTC HD2? (tried and tested roms!) Now I am using it stock rom but I am not happy with it.
1. Best Android rom (I tried 4.4.4 but is too slow and have a feeling is draining battery more than the normal)
2. Best Windows Mobile 6.5 rom?
3. Best Windows Phone rom?
4. Best Windows Mobile/Ubutuntu/Android rom?
Cheers,

Best custom WM6.5 is Energy
http://www.mediafire.com/download/b...3699.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.DinikGlass.Nov.24.7z
With bit of personal modding it rock solid & well featured.
Used on all our work HD2 handsets as the rest are junk except for gaming or facebook ...

Thanks mate! I will try it.

Also mate try Android 4.4.2 tytung rom it is working good on my HD2 (Native SD - SD card 10 class 8gb)

Thank you bojan. I see that the Energy rom has a Launch Android shortlink so I suppose it is for that. Just to figure out how to install it...
@ Mister B
I have one issue, BTW I succefully installed 24.Nov.Energy rom and very happy with it! Just what I needed. I am not going to use the phone for games. Maybe except for chess. Simpler, stable the better. Excuse me for writing it in this topic but I don't have access to ask in the proper threads as a new user and I am eager to figure it out.
The issue is that when I listen to the FM radio and I have a call the phone is turning off. Is this normal? Had someone experienced a simmilar issue? Is windows mobile providing some kind of an errors log?

Yes the energy rom has a link to launch android SD build.
I have just tested my FM Radio as i'm on that ROM & no issue on incoming call.
Could possibly be linked to radio version perhaps, i'm using radio as linked in my signature.
Are you also on HSPL2.08 !?
I have Chess Genius, Tripplix & Virtual Pool Mobile which more than enough for gaming for me.
IM+ still works on WM too so can support facebook messaging etc which can be handy.
