Thanks for the fast reply.

you answered "no" on my first question. I assume that this means Android does NOT run on top of WM?

one more question, with one full charge, can you use the android install for a full whole day without recharging?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
I answered no, because when android boots, it shuts down all WinMo operations as far as we are concerned.

Some people report being able to use their device for an entire day on one charge, others do not. It has to do with many, many factors (as do all of your questions). There are a plethora of combinations of which you can choose. Such variables include, but not limited to, Radio, ROM, SPL, kernal, startup.txt, build, etc.. each with its own sets of pros and cons.

I would suggest some extensive reading before attempting to boot android on you HD2. Simply popping in and asking these types of generic questions will ultimately get you no where, as well as aggravate many users in the process.

I can refer you to these two posts and you will need to find your way from there.

Hi All,

I have loaded my htc hd2 with android froyo 2.2. Also i tried the battery tip given in other post. However i have to try the battery option as it drains faster than expected. But so far so good. Thanks for your tips.

HTC Froyo 2.2 updates after using

I have been fiddling with Froyo 2.2 for a while now, it works pretty well, fast and responsive. :)

Using the WiFi to surf using the browsers like Opera or Skyfire is awesome, and if you sign in to your Google account, it loads you email using the Gmail app. You don't even need to log in anymore if you choose to activate the Google account. I even received this email, anybody get it as well?

:p Oops, I feel so guilty. LOL.

Some issues I encountered. Despite the fact that all internet applications load real fast on WiFi and my 3G network, I am not able to surf using the browser if I want to use the 3G network.

Internet surfing only works using Wifi, for me the waiting time for the page to eventually load if I use 3G is so long that it is almost 5 to 10 minutes for one Google search. But the other internet apps, like youtube load so fast that the loading bar can load the whole video in 10 seconds.

Anyone encountered this problem? It looks like I am not able to surf on my 3G network through the browser but yet I can use the internet connection for everything else at a blazing fast speed.

Those who want to get the flash working, you can search for flashplayer 10.1 at the market place and also skyfire. It works like a charm :cool:

Some additional information for those who are still trying to get Android on their phones. Note that the files need to be placed in a folder called android in the SD card. You will also need to copy the system.ext2 and the rootfs.img file onto the root of the SD card. It is copy, not cut and paste outside.

I am using the FROYO BUILD BY dan1j3l, this one comes with the complete set, the Parad0XUA build lacks the CLRCAD and it did not turn out too well in my device.

Oh.. back to my question, anyone had issues with browser on their 3G network? I have tried keying the mobile network settings for the server and proxy by Google searching for it. And it is still the same.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] VW_Factor:
You know. First I'd like to thank everyone who's put time into this. When the HD2 got to be cheap, and knowing its hardware I bought one. Especially knowing guys were working to get Android running on it.

Now it is, and other than my tethering not working, everything else is working great. I was able to read through the guides and troubleshooting here on these forums, and got everything working. Got rid of robot voice, got rid of SoD, and other minor things.

For all you guys asking for help. Its all right here. Laid out in plain english. The people who put in all the hard work and time into getting us our Android on this handset, and then wrote a guide to doing it. People still have the audacity to ask for someone to hold their hand while doing it? The packages you download, the directions are in them. Read, read, and read it.

Seriously. Read all the information here in this forum. It WILL answer ALL of your questions. I read stuff here for 2 or 3 days. Got things up and running well in a day. :up: Good luck.

Again, devs, and cooks, etc, etc.. Thank you for your awesome hard work.

NOOB HERE please help me not mess this up.

I am a former moto cliq (android 1.5; great phone, crappy motorola) user so I have some understanding of rooting, modding, ect.

TMOBILE USER!!! to make sure I get the right answers.

I just got the hd2 and it is the 1024 model. Came with WM and of course is horrible. So now I loaded a froyo sense rom (which is what I really prefer) on top of the stock rom and it had the robot voice even though I started another app first. Along with the robot voice tethering doesn't work. So here are my questions. Is dual boot a good option? :o

1.) Does installing another wm rom really make a difference from the stock 4/28/10 2.13.531.1. If yes, which should I download? I will not be using wm if I can get calls to work so minimal would probably be ideal.

2.) I currently have 2.10.50.26 radio, I see it goes to 2.12.50.02. Should I download the one off the site and install it or will my current one work just as good? Also, is it right that I can flash all radios for my tmobile hd2 as long as it has the .50 in it? Bricking is the last thing I want to do after spending the $$$.

3.) I am thinking about downloading mattcfroyo 1.5 1GB rom. All I want is fast, stable, voice calls, tether (seems to be a common issue), and sense.

I have been reading so much about all this and I think it is starting to confuse the crap out of me. So many answers in so many threads. There should be a sticky thread that has 2 roms, froyo sense and plain froyo along with a wm rom and what radio to use to keep it simple for noobs. :D Please help guys... and ladies! THANKS!!

Hello everyone,

I am not able to even get a signal out, I am on T-Mo and I changed my radio to 2.11 (the one that was recommended on the first page) and I am using Desire with sense. I cannot get a internet connection via my carrier, is my radio restricting this? I have changed the radios and nothing has worked. Can anyone help me with this cause I love how smooth android is running, but not having 3g is obviously a draw back. Let me know if anyone knows why this is and what I have to do. Thanks guys.

All, I'm a complete Noob and have never tried anything like this!!! For those of you that have not done anything to their phones at all there are several updates you need to put on FIRST. It took me an afternoon but you'll need to find and install all of the following to get your phone to play ball!

First of all you need to install HSPL whatever that is. The instructions are pretty straight forward and in the ROM section.

You'll also need to download Custom RUU to your computer as well as a new 'Radio' version. Links are in the ROM section somewhere with instructions.

If you haven't got an extractor such as Winzip or bitzipper you'll need that.

Finally I've put Froyo 2.2 on at is it BRILLIANT! Yes it eats the battery but only cos it updates facebook and twitter far more reliably than WinMo as far as I can tell... I get about the same power as my wifes iPhone (spits!)

The only other thing is it comes with no ringtones so you'll need to sort that. Finally, I'm still working out how to USB link to my computer. I managed to copy my contacts from Outlook to Googlemail so no major issues but it'd be nice to be able to easily port music and pictures without having to shut down, upload them in Windows then reboot Android.

Perhaps one of the mods could enter links to the most up to date versions of the above to help out future Noobs. For those only considering it... IT IS WELL WORTH IT! Thanks to all those that have the tech know how that I don't!!!

Need help

Dear members of xda, I could use some advice.

I tried to run android "darkstone HD2Froyo V2.1 (18-August-2010)" on my HD2 and right after I lunched CLRCAD and HaRET the black screen came up. about 5 or 6 lines of text. than freeze, and than the text slowly fades, leaving just a black screen (its supposed to look like this right? thats some kind of splash logo I guess because it's all the way on top of the screen) The device did not do any further things so I did a soft reset after I managed to get the battery cover down (took me at least 30 minutes and the device still did nothing).

the first time I copied just the stuff in the android folder to root of the memory card. now I read the tutorial again and saw this: "Extract the Android folder (with all files in in) to root of your SD Card. THIS IS IMPORTANT." so I thought the android folder has to be there too. I reformatted the sd card and tried it again with just the full folder in root. again nothing worked.

what am I doing wrong?

I used a 2 gb sdhc card.

specs of my phone:

OS version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)

Manila version: 2.5.19211619.0

rom version: 1.66.407.1 (76641) GER

rom date: 01/11/10

radio: 2.07.51.22_2

protocol version: 15.32.50.07U

So basicly the question is, do I have to switch rom or is it because of the sd card?

I hope someone can help me, sorry for my probably bad english and the fact that I haven't read much of the posts in this thread.
