Your frustrations are the result of your ignorance, not the phone.

Obviously you are unware that Android has literally hundreds of themes that change the way the icons look. You can also add/change widgets and pretty much anything about your UI. You can also tweak settings to get better battery life. You have no clue how to operate Android, I'd suggest you learn before dismissing it.

As far as WM6.5 is concerned, it is an outdated OS with a lack of apps. It has some awesome features, but apps is not one of them. Android will have MORE apps all around than iOS in about 2 months at the current rate and already has more free apps.

You also dismiss WP7, which has growing development and will give you that modern UI you are looking for, if you think Android's icons are anachronistic you should abhor iOS icons, check out Metro UI, you'll love it.

If you are too lazy to learn how to fully utilize this amazing machine, then I suggest you sell your HD2 and go get an iPhone.

[HD2 General] koolxx:
alright, i'm going to give my hd2 one more chance.. i'll install android.. but on 2 conditions:

1) that i install an android o/s that has excellent batt life and thats fast.

2) that i install a skin for it that looks like stock 6.5.

if any SERIOUS (note the quotes) members here want to recommend any versions based on these conditions, i will install it.

And those are freeware. I'm not sure you looked in the right places.

EDIT: There were also some WP7 titles, but I was looking at WM.

As to scrolling through titles, yes the Iphone will be better there, it is a consumer phone not a pocket PC.
[HD2 General] theslam08:
To be quite honest, he did not even call you a name :confused:. He said you were ignorant. Thats a verb not a noun. Either way, I agree with him wholeheartedly.

This phone is not like any other (not any I know of in this exact replica), it comes with Windows Mobile, but yet you can put almost anything you want on it OTHER than Windows Mobile. Know ANY phone that can do that? No Android phone will run Windows Mobile (not that I think anyone would want to - just saying).

Not to re-state what orange had stated but, you can try Android for FREE. You can try Ubuntu ON YOUR PHONE, for FREE. You can TRY Windows Phone 7, for FREE. Dont have to 'upgrade' (pay 100's) just to TRY the NEW Windows OS...makes sense to me :).

Can you do that with the iPhone? No, impossible. You can get a jailbreak that will do what exactly? Get you some apps and wallpapers that you cant do/get normally. How fun.

Not putting down the iphone at all, just stating the FACTS.

Someone once said, ohhh android has all junk apps. For 1, you have to look. For 2, more are free than paid. For 3, iOs you have to pay for what, 75% of what you want to use? Android you can purchase plenty too, and get great apps, but some really nice ones for free where on ios you have to pay...nice

Please do try Android before you dismiss the wonderful phone. Windows Mobile I will agree, was absolutely junk on this phone, I honestly changed (back in the android-sd days where we were booting android from WINDOWS on our SD card. - how awesome) as soon as I could. Never went back. Now, its an Android phone, TRY IT OUT.

---------

As for the best android? Well, TBH, its different for everyone. Its a WHOLE NEW GAME. Just look at the android section under the HD2 here. Its LOADED with various ROMS, which is WHY ITS AWESOME! You have so many options its crazy. Windows Mobile, you had almost none (various themes, about it). You can almost never brick this phone. READ READ READ ALL the Noob guides, they will point you in the right direction. Flashing an updated radio, bootloader, then rom. Once you figure it out, anytime you want to 'try' something new, it takes all of 10 min., 5 to download the ROM, 5 min for it to install. Thats it.

My bad for long post. Just trying to push ya back over the fence. Its not a bad phone by any means, its a piece of [excellent] hardware (very good for multitasking). Try some new software.
[HD2 General] tageeboy:
Your right the hd2 is crap. I have a iPhone 3g 8gb in great condition. Jail broken with old fully flashable firmware. Trade ya for your hd2.

[HD2 General] grifter024:
I think thats the end of that argument because I doubt he can come back from facts.

I have no idea how a iphone kid can come here and bash the HD2. Then again I actually wont go into any of that since you guys already nailed it right on the head.

Love this phone and even though I am still on winmo I am still in love with it.....down the road I'll go droid HD2.

Please PM me and ill give you my home address, You can come round and I'll say worse directly to your face ;)

If you haven't got the intelligence to realise you are ignorant and are missing out on an amazing device I pitty you very much.
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
It's not the phone's fault. It's yours for trading your blessed iPhone for that sucky HD2. I mean really? You traded a holy iPhone for some piece for garbage? Man, that's the stupidest thing I've ever read.

I mean like dude, don't you know the iPhone is the absolutely best phone you can get? Whatever the version may be. I mean the 1st gen iPhone blows the galaxy s 2 any day.

Anyways enough with my trolling. xD

It is your fault really, you should recognize your needs and desires first. Judging from your personality, attitude, experiences and desires, the iPhone is obviously your device. You don't want to customize, you don't want to hack, so obviously you want a device just to use. So in other words, why the hell did you get a device that wasn't meant for you? Next time, think about what you want before you get it.
[HD2 General] Kingdomfalls:
From what I've read it's an excellent phone if you're willing to go through the motions and change it. I'm not sure what you have done with it but I'm sure if you had the time you could change it to how you want it.

However, the beauty of the iPhone ( and it's biggest problem) is that it's so controlled that you can have a perfectly consistent experience and it takes little effort (though I would argue the same with WP7, though it has fewer apps).

However if you really do not want it I'm curious as to what kind of HD2 you have and how much you are willing to sell it for.
[HD2 General] siddharth singh:
WOW!!! you are going to sell out ur hd2!!! ... i cant believe it ..i have made up my mind to never sell it (it will like go into the world phone museum cuz this is the device is the starting point of all these new ones) this is the best phone i have ever used cuz it is higly customizable (except for on winmo) ..i am currently on android (NAND) as far as u r searching for a nice rom i would suggest hyperdroid cm7 ...its a pitty that u want to sell ur hd2!! :eek:

EDIT:: n what u saying huge battery drain... i just loose 5% in 7 hours of standby and my phone lasts full 1.5 days with heavy usage
[HD2 General] Kingdomfalls:
Also, if you have problems with the battery life you can get a larger battery ( they do exist and you can get them for reasonable prices on eBay and the like), so you do have options available.

I would suggest to save you the potential of regret to at least try other options like Android ( on which there are a number of excellent launchers that can suit your needs well) and WP7 ( which I personally think has an exquisite UI) on your phone.
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
Hey...can you please tell me...what ROM you have on your HD2 ? Android NAND ?:)
[HD2 General] koolxx:
hi, stevedebi. thanks for replying. i checked out the apps a while ago. theyre old as hell. but i was checking out some android apps. heres one i checked out:

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-episode6-android-nycsubwaymap-wE.aspx

it looks modern. i'll be installing android just for the hell of it and download some apps and judge for myself. so lets see.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
'ignorant' is a verb??? looks like someone here needs english lessons..try learning english before correcting someone who was born in england. and why are you defending him?? you sound interested.

huh??

thats funny, when i had my iphone i never paid a penny for my apps... i got them off the net.

wait a minute... if you agree with me about the windows mobile o/s, then why are you bashing me? i dont get it, but to each their own.

and thats why i've requested advice on android builds before i sell off my hd2.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
come on, grow up.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
i think grifter has a new fan (or possibly more than that.. ha ha), but again, to each their own.

i have no idea how an hd2 nerd can come here and bash the number one phone in the world. but then again, i wont go into that since you guys agree that windows mobile is crap.. but he stilll thinks it isnt for some fanboy reason. gotta feel sorry for the runt.

i love the iphone.. its fast and smooth.. i'll install droid tomorrow and judge it for myself.
[HD2 General] koolxx:

[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Just in case you did not see it. Kingdomfalls has I assume the ROM he or she is running in their sig.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
its not your phone's fault that you cant afford an iphone. its yours for buying into that winmo o/s crap. i mean come on.. you hate the iphone just cuz you cant afford an iphone? man, thats the dumbest thing anyone has said. i mean, wazzup with that? dont you know the hd2 has the fastest processor? i mean, when the hd2 came out, it did well.

its your fault really. you should recognize your budget limits first. judging from your personality, the hd2 is definitely your phone. you dont want to install droid, you dont want to mod, so obviously, you wnt a phone just for calls. so in other words, why the hell are you mad that you couldnt get a phone you couldnt afford? next time, be intelligent about that you buy before you cry over it.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
hi, Kingdomfalls. its a good phone. its just that after modding it, i found it to be slower and more sluggish than the iphone and not equipped with tons of apps that i expected it'd have.

to answer your question, i'm going to install droid on it and see how it pans out. if i like it i'll keep it. if i dont, i'm willing to sell it for $230.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
hi, siddharth singh. thnks for your input. i will install droid on it tomorrow. i checked out hyperdroid cm7 on youtube, and i dont like it since the phone keypad looks small and doesnt look modern.

but if you can suggest other roms (with install instructions since im a newbie), i'd appreciate it. and again, i'm looking for low batt drain, fast, and reliable (no hangups).

and if its ok, cn i pm you on your help? i'd appreciate that too. thanks!
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Hey Koolxx,

I made a post in your thread in the Android Q&A and general forum. I know you like the Sense but to be very honest with you I much rather prefer the non Sense ROMs The Typhoon Cyanogen Mod 7 Nightly v32.1 (I personally have tested this ROM), but if you really want a sense ROM take a look at imilka's Incredible Sense v1.1 (I have not tested this one though).
[HD2 General] coldest~~~:
Why would you guys bother with this guy. He has no idea what he is talking about. you're comparing a almost 2 yrs old phone to the iphone 4 (less than a yr). winmo 6.5 has nothing on IOS, <-- this, I agreed. but android looks like window 95 is a laughter. how is the icons on IOS any difference than icons on android?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Gosh, yet another koolxx thread degenerating into a slanging match? Whoda thunk it??

You need an iPhone badly, or at the very least a wp7 or android phone. I'd give up on the hd2 today, it requires far too much tinkering / workarounds for you.

[HD2 General] bronx:
I'll add something before this thread gets trashed.

iphone 4 is great. period. got one for my wife and I have to admit, that app quality is faaar better than on droid in general plus it is latest pocket hardware to run ios (so far), hence every game looks and runs sweet (go check infinity blade or rage hd You non believers and stfu).

skype integration and video calls over 3g are made perfect, safari browser is pretty fast (skyfire if You really miss flash) and build quality/feel/looks is much better than hd2 too. (have I mentioned retina?)

...BUT I won't get one for myself, as I need something more advanced with bigger screen (doing lots of work on the road) and android.

Droid as a system is more complex and mature than ios, but some solutions (even more of those on sense devices) make use of the device much easier and intuitive.

ergo - it looks like I'll play some games occasionaly on my wifes ip4, but I'll more likely get htc sensation for myself.

hd2 with bauner's stock desire froyo for now... a true pocket pc.

There are lots of third party keyboards and keyboard apps available on the market and on xda, just search. About something else you said: "I never paid a penny with iPhone, I got it from the web", that's also possible with Android and winmo 6.5, for Android you have to look for APK files, for Winmo look for CAB files.
[HD2 General] raven_raven:
@OP

That's funny. You laugh at someone that he can't afford iPhone (which obviously is just trolling), but then you state that you pirated apps and games on iOS. So what, you can't afford .99$ games/apps? Whatever.

Android is simply not for you. I'm not joking, being ironic and things like that. iOS fits you more than Android, it's as simple as that. You made a mistake by buying HD2, so sell it, buy an iPhone and be happy. And then don't troll Android boards, OK?

Oh, and about "ignorant" word. It's both noun and verb. It does mean nothing if you were born in England or on lonely island in the middle of Pacific Ocean if you're still wrong ^_^.

You should do what I've done and use an SD Build. They aren't much slower than NAND builds (from what I've heard) and can be installed in a few mins (minus reboot time)
[HD2 General] Kingdomfalls:
If you don't like android, remember that WP7 is available as well, which is probably one of the most slick OSes on the market, right up there with iOS. There is also a really nice subway map I believe ( I think I saw it on Gizmodo, but I've lost the link).

Greetings all-

As someone who puts a premium on voice quality, I've tried several different modems. From what I've read, JQ1 gets top honors, but what I've read is now old (in terms of how fast things change around here). JVK came out not too long ago, and I'm wondering what people think about it.

I've noticed, too, that data speeds seem to suffer on the modems that have higher voice quality, and vice-versa. Must it always be a tradeoff?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sebseven:
Hello,

yesterday i saw, that a 2.3.3 Version of Galaxy S ROM is available.

I was excited and installed the ROM from samfirmware.com.

Then i saw, that it is not as cool as Darky ROM 9.5 with JS8, which i had before.

Then I thought, ok, phone is messed up, i want darky 9.5 back, but let me first try out CynogenMod7 for Galaxy S before i go back to Darky 9.5 ( i have i9000)

i install cm7

And it worked, but it's too unstable. So, i saw what i wanted to see: Darky is the best.

But now i can't go back to Darky.

I tried restore the Backup created with ROM Manager (CW Recovery) and i tried install Darky 9.5.zip via CW Recovery.

it didn't work.

can somebody help me?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sebseven:
plz help i understand french and english
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kar200:
I would say the best thing to do would be to go back to the stock rom first.

I am not sure what Darky 9.5 is based on but this is what you should try:

If it is based on 2.2 then flash EZbase with repartition on. Go to recovery and restore your backup or flash directly Darky 9.5.

If it is based on 2.3 then probably a JVK or similar with repartition and then flash CF-root in Oding. After that go to CWM and restore your backup or flash the Darky 9.5.

French :)

Je ne sais pas si Darky est base sur 2.3 ou 2.3 mais le plus simpl serais de fair ce qui suit:

si la ROM est base sur 2.2 faut commencer d'abbord avec une stock (EZbase est le plus simple) avec repartition puis rebooter sur CWM et esseiller de restorer ta sauvegarde ou sionon reflash Darky de nouveau.

Si c'est base sur 2.3 il faut faire la meme chose mais le faire avec JVK. il faut pas oublier de flasher CF-root apres pour avoir access a CWM.

Bon courage.

PS: Not sure why you say CM7 is unstable?? maybe missing features but far from unstable

what this version of Ebase i can change it into darky rom9.5??? the ebase is an 2.3.3? it's a officiel version?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kar200:
Happy to hear you got it fixed (bla mzia :))

EZbase is based on a 2.2 rom AFAIK. I think his thread would have more info.

It is a low package which means it will update everything including the boot loader.

The Rom was put together to actually have a clean base to flash custom roms and not so much to be actually used as a daily driver.

If Darky 9.5 is based on 2.3.3 then you will need to use a 2.3.3 Rom as the boot loader is different.

JVK and JVB are fine but the new one out (JVH I believe) apparently does not contain a boot loader.
