Believe me it's worth it. Yesterday was my first Android day ever, and now I've almost ditched WinMo. There were some known issues in the early stages of Android development, and thnaks to the chefs there's almost nothing to worry about now. Everything's powerful & smooth, and the only thing I might consider is the kinda higher battery consumption.

anybody? some help please
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KrewsialNL:
TMO are specific for T-Mobile US phones if i'm correct.

So be careful what radio you're going to pick.

To be honest, i can't say for sure if all ROMS work on all phones. I've seen some ROMS specific with a TMOUS (Tmobile US) tag in the subject, which makes me doubt that specific fact.

I'm very happy with my migration over to Android on a new HD2. :D

In saying that, I've noticed that from time to time (daily basis) my HD2 will go into sleep but fail to come out of it, the physical buttons light up but the device is inactive until the battery is removed/replaced. Ideas?

Help Needed

Hey guys I am an enthusiast about Android and recently I purchased a HD2 which is great as a phone (hardware specs) but it lacks of a good software. So on my quest to make this phone the best I stumble upon this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=732380

and which I thought it was the greatest because it tells you how to do everything for u to run Android in your Phone. I did every single step in it I installed ChuckyGTX Rom in it, but when I run HTC Sebse Desire Build, it boots up great and it works, after about five minutes in it freezes up and stop responding.

I really don't know if I installed the right HSPL, Radio, ROM and Android, for dat matter, in my phone. So I would love if someone here can help me. Thanks before hand. I really don't know if I installed it right or not? which one is supposed to go first? The phone is working fine with Chucky Rom, except that it does not display my location weather. Also I do not have a sim card in it yet!

This are the things I installed in my phone:

HSPL3

Radio 2.12.50_2

ROM: Chucky ROM GTX (but I dont know which one, when it boots up it says GTX 2.5, I did not download it from here)

Android: HTC Sense Desire Build

This are the specs for my phone.

SPL 2.10

ROM Version 3.14

Radio 2.15.50.14

HD2 1024Leo

If you want an android Phone, buy the HTC Desire HD,

Why buy a windows mobile based phone to put android on ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] joelfinch:
The main reason to buy a HD2 over a Desire HD is that it's much cheaper, about half the price now, and the specs are pretty comparable.

Personally, I also enjoy the variety of builds that we get access to as HD2 owners (thanks devs!). I don't see the forums for native Android devices offering up the same variety (not a criticism, just an observation).

And with the recent move to RAM-based builds for HD2, it seems like we get to be first to try it out the latest methods (which are astonishingly quick).

So to answer the original question - I use nothing but Android daily on my HD2, and it is smooth and stable and does what I need without any issues (it did take some reading and experimentation to get to that point though). My wife's phone, a HTC Desire, is actually slower and giving more problems!

also wat does EncFiltLog.menc do? cuz apparently theres already one on my phone... (trying to download mattcfroyo1.8)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
let me tell you the BIGGEST benefits of being able to run android on the hd2 over a native device:

1. you can't ever brick the phone!

2. you can run as many builds/roms as you want to keep in your sd card, using EBL bootloader lets you choose what android build you want to use.

3. at the moment the hd2 is running android just as good if not better than some native android phones.

4. and for people like me that loved the hd2 on windows but since windows mobile is a dying OS, android is the obvious choice.

I have tested my hd2 on android with my friends htc evo/desire hd and it runs almost identical in performance, the only thing it differs is no 720p video.

And my final answer to your question is because we can! :cool:

Noob question! Sorry but I can't find what I'm looking for. I rarely post because I'm usually able to help myself by simply reading but after searching for a long while I had to give in and ask. Here's my question.

I was given an HD2 by a coworker that has a dual boot winmo/android. Win (elegancia) and android (bangsters). The bangsters is very unstable at times freezing and rebooting among other problems. I want to upgrade the android to the newest version. Is it supposed to be as simple as replacing the android file that is already there with the new one? If so it's not cooperating with me. Can someone help me or lead me in the right direction? Any help is appreciated.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] despy1989:
Sorry had missed you question....

If you are installing the build as it is > just copy all the contents of the Android folder as they are.

When you are upgrading/changing kernels then the procedure is different. You need to copy both new zimage and root folder into the old android folder.

Sorry to refer you back to my post but i have now added more info regarding upgrading kernels in the post. please have a read again. lemme know if your still not sure :)

You won't see anything when you run clrcad...it supposedly clears the background cache.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] codekitty:
'CLRCAD' cannot be opened.Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate...

This problem is not related to the ROM, but to WinMo. I spend hours trying to fix this problem by re-formatting the MicroSDHC card and trying the various ROM versions available, and no luck.

I had to reset the HTC HD2 to factory, wiping all personal and application stuff, and it worked like a charm after.

Fortunately I synchronize my phone with Outlook, so nothing was lost.

Good luck and let me know if you benefit from this fix.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
You need to get the hot reboot app, some builds have the option, but not many of them do. Go into android and download it from the market, it will ask for SuperUser, allow it, and then you can reboot and stay in android using it. The only other option is the EBL dual bootloader that you can setup in windows for auto boot android on 3 seconds, and it will do the clrcad and haret by itself

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] despy1989:
Have a look at the guide in the signature and make sure you have followed all the steps

Worked Well For Me

This is a surprise to me. I have had my HD2 for awhile now. I was happy with just the CHT and the mods available. Then I decided to try Droid on SD after hearing the NAND news. I know weird but whatever.

I read almost everything first to make sure I dont brick my device and to have the smoothest install possible. I went in expecting the worse. I used the directions on the first post. I actually had to skip right to step 4. I had upgraded the official tmob rom so i have the 2.15 radio and didnt need to upgrade that.

All I had to do for my HD2 was download the android build, and run it using the two files. It actually worked! I had to do nothing as far as configuration and it works! I used the MDJ HD 4.6 Droid build.

I figured I give my experience as a refresher from all the, "It doesnt work! What did i do wrong?" posts. Now to load up a cool theme.

Buzzing sounds

Hi, just wondering, my SPL is already version 3.03.0000 and my radio is already 2.15.50.14, does that mean I don’t have to flash anything and that my HD2 is already ready for Android installation?

I've tried installing Desire v5 without flashing anything, by tapping on the CLRCAD.EXE file (which does nothing) then HaRet.exe. I did manage to get Android. The only thing is I couldn't connect to data and during calls the other party's voice is robotic. There was also a popup saying that the LauncherPro has expired. And when I restart my phone, it went back to WM65. What is the issue? =(

Hi Guys,

Some advice please.

I've been using Froyosense 2.2 from mdeejay for about 2 months now and I'm quite happy with it. A few bugs but I can live with them.

I want the new Desire Rom, tried one (4.4) but it was really slow. Can anyone point me to a better version of the latest desire ROM? I guess it's 2.3 now. One that is stable please.

Thanks in advance. And sorry for being lazy, but there are literally thousands of pages to read. Can't wait till the site revamp.

Good luck
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dblfstr:
Your SPL ROM and Radio are fine, nothing else you need to do.

The builds posted in this thread are extremely old. Search the forum for a newer build.

CLRCAD.exe does nothing (but it enables sound in Android)

Robo voice is fixed in new builds.

The launcher Pro in these outdated builds is also outdated.

Android is running off the SD card, when you reboot you will be in WinMo.

tap CLRCAD and HaRet again to boot into android (everytime).

I recommend mattcleo 1.8, MdeeJay Froyo HD 4.6 , or Darkstone SD/RAM 1.5.

You may also want to go try a NAND build. This, however, will remove WinMo completely and you need to flash some other stuff to your phone. Check out that android NAND section for more info on that topic.

My Advice, stick with the SD card builds.

Good Luck,

I'm on 4.6 Froyo now. It is smooth and much faster than 4.4. BUT a few processes keep falling over. Specifically People, Mail and a core one, not sure what it is called.

Will do some hunting for solutions now but any pointers would be great
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] was2103:
Ok I did some hunting and the solution to some of the apps that fall over, like I described above is to go to the applications menu in settings and clear the cache and data. They have been working fine since.

4.6 is smooth.

Thanks to MDJ. Fantastic work man.

*** FIXED *** Formatted the SD card using the Panasonic tool and it worked. Must have been the windows format that it didn't like.

Hopefully someone can give me some more suggestions to fix my problem.

Couple of days ago I installed darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5 to an SD card and it worked first time. The only problem I encountered was the battery was only lasting about 10 hours even with minimal use.

So I thought I'd try a few things to see if I could improve it. I updated the radio to 2.15.50.14 and while I was waiting I also followed a guide to partition the SD card with a couple of extra partitions that are useful for linux. I also generated a 2GB data.img file.

Reinstalled SuperRAM build but now after running Haret I get to the green HTC logo and after a few seconds the phone just reboots back to WinMo.

So have now tried several things to try to get it working with no success :

1) Used the 256mb data.img from the original build

2) Deleted the partitions on the SD card and reformatted single partition to fat32

3) Tried ChuckyROM WinMo build (Had a Duttys build before)

4) Downgraded the radio (tried 2.08.50.08 & 2.12.50.02)

5) Hard reset the phone

6) Went back to the last Duttys build I had on when I first tried Android which also had radio 2.09.50.29

7) Tried without a data.img file installed.

But everytime it just reboots. Can't figure out what I need to do to get it working as its now back to the state it was when I had it working.

Any help/suggestions appreciated.

BTW - I now know that I probably just needed to disable 'Use wireless networks' in Settings>Location menu to cure the battery issue....typical. If only I could get it booting to try it now.

is that a US hd2? If it is and you have that radio you flashed a radio already once before , so not sure why the issue, try going into the bootloader by powering down, hold the volume down while powering up, it that doesn't work hold the volume up while booting up, I know is up or down on the volume but not sure ATM, when you get the tricolored screen plug the USB cable, once it connects use the RUU on the radio folder to flash it.

Now I've looked it up and it seems I need to install java sdk 32bits and 64 bits, then the android development platform... all in the name of getting the one tiny driver....
