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:

I agree on this... I am long overdue to upgrade my MDJ 2.6 NAND version that works just fine - but I definitely want HyperDroid!!!

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.

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...
looking for a sense rom with everything working, is there such a thing? would like it to not be skinned, especially on the notification bar. and have sense v3
is this the closest thing to what I'm looking for?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062881
thanks.
The exact same question. I'd love a full working Stock Sense. With apps not FC like in imilka's work. I would also like a2sd+ support.
Is there a working themed rom that we can theme to stock ?
ive never had any force closes on imilkas roms or other roms that use froyo and sense 2
then again i dont use my phone for games
there are currently no sense 3 roms that run without flaws, there are graphic glitches

CMYLXGO's roms work really well, Desire HD based but not with sense 3.0 I hate to say it but I think were at the limitations of what HD2 can do.

Well you are completley wrong. It has absolutely nothing to do with any limitations of teh hardware of the HD2 in the slightest. We had many bugs when first porting other types of roms.
Its simply software issues that can be addressed and fixed as time goes.

Well you could apply the same logic to apps on phones.
The point of playing games on mobile is because they are mobile games, same as mobile apps.
I personally play games on my tablet on the move but if I didnt have my Tab I would play them on my mobile.

It doesn't exist yet. ALL roms sense or not have bugs to some extent, some you can get by with tweaks/fix's some are not fixed yet like the ones in Sense 3 like the stock camcorder and gfx glitches.
The best/most stable rom I've found based on Sense v3 is teh one in my signature.
well, what sense rom has the most stuff working, sense 2 or 3
HI ALL,
I had a htc magic and I have suffered with low configuration, so I thought to buy a HD2,the problem is that the hd2 was released since November 2009, so it is still powerful (with sense 3.0, SPB Shell 3D, regina 3D launcher, ...) ?
is the htc desire HD more powerful than the HD2 ? but the desire can not run the WM & Android
sorry for my english
i think you should choose HD2 if you will try WM & Android

The DHD isn't really much more powerful than the HD2. It has very slightly better hardware, but it's negligible.
The HD2 has some issues with Sense 3, I have not found a ROM that doesn't lag at times, so I stick with CM7. If I had a Sensation though I'd probably put an AOSP launcher or CM7 when it was out...
Between a DHD and HD2 I'd get the HD2 any day of the week, the only real upgrade would be a Sensation or GS2.
i saw 2 videos,the first was a hd2 running htc sense 3.0 et the second was the HDH with the same os,the hd2 lag and the HDH doesn't.
and what about using live wallpapers and HD games ? will the hd2 lag or not ?
why does the hd2 lag with the sense 3.0 ? is it lack of RAM or what ???

that's true, but CM7 runs about the same on both.
I've noticed that native Android devices tend to run Sense 3 better, maybe a driver conversion thing, but the Evo I had with a sense 3 ROM ran it really well with no lag, and every sense 3 ROM I've used on the HD2 lags.
If you want lag free Sense 3 get a Sensation, I would bypass the DHD altogether.
The HD2 runs games and apps just fine on CM7 or AOSP based lighter ROMs.
hi guys, i was just curious how fast the hd2 is compared to the likes of nexus s sgs and desire hd on cm7 and miui. any input would be greatly appreciated. thnx!

wow, didnt expect HD to be faster than DHD! thanks for the input! btw, just out of interest, how do the screens compare between those three devices? im guessing SGS2 would have far better screen
Galaxy S2 is faster, but some programs may start faster on the HD2, and I know that's strange! and it happens randomly. probably related to background processes or something.
HD2 is also not always faster than DHD, it's just the huge amount of tweaking the HD2 ROMs get that they feel faster, but that performance is ROM-dependent.
If you get two tweaked ROMs, one on the HD2 and the other on DHD, and both from the same developer (Core team makes ROMs for both as far as I can remember), I bet the DHD will be faster.
Samsung screens IMHO are the best on the market, but having to deal with a none-sense droid phone with not much of custom ROMs is a pain.

I run NAND Android on my HD2 and have been running Android on mine for close to 9 months. Granted I run a non-sense ROM (Hyperdroid-CM7) as my daily driver. But I tested dozens of NAND Android ROMs for the HD2 and it run pretty much all ROMs very smoothly with the exception of the Sense 3.0 ROMs, It was laggy with those ROMs. The MIUI ROMs run pretty smooth on the HD2 but you do have an occasional lag here and there, but I stress the word occasional.
As for your original question the HD2 can hang with just about any native Android device on the market with the same or close to the same specs. Now keep in mind I am not talking about any of new devices sporting dual core processors with bigger RAM and mor memory.

The only real lag was when you would first open a app sometimes it would take somtimes the a second or two to open. It would also happen when you would be transitioning from one function to another, you know like when you opened the phone or camera. But it was always just a second or two delay/lag nothing that is intolerable. Or nothing most other native Android devices do from time to time. But the Sense 3.0 ROMs were borderline intolerable, at least for me.
Hi all I just ordered an HD2 from Ebay, previous phone was an LG Optimus V and it's quite an upgrade even though the HD2 is 2+ years old.
I want to go the Android route with it but I absolutely want the best performance I can get for the phone. I was wondering which version of the Android OS is more optimized for the HD2? For example, I've seen Youtube videos of Froyo on the HD2 and it was very smooth and perfect, I've also seen videos of ICS on the HD2 and one was kinda laggy and the other seemed to run smooth.
What is the recommended Android version to put on the HD2? Thank you so much, I'm happy to be apart of this historic community of the HD2.

Thank you, I've located the threads to those ROMs and looked them up on Youtube and they all are running great on the HD2. Thank you for your help sir
Ics is the best for gaming performance hands down, but some of the applications may not be optimized for speed on the hd2 (hacked YouTube and gingerbread apps work prefectly smooth on ics roms)
