1. You cant really until you try it or look in the Roms Thread for users comments. Most Roms are compatable now I think I havent really heard anyone complain about Robot voice for a while using a new Rom and new Android Build.

2. No point comparing apps between 2 totally different operating systems ;) As far as im aware PimBackup is the only free app for backing up contacts and messages but if you use it right I dont see how its flaky at all I have used it to backup my contacts on WinMo for about 3 years now without any problems. See my previous post on how to backup contacts in WinMo for use with Android.

3. Why would you want to use a WM6.5.5 rom if you are intending to use Android? Wm6.5.5 is much less stable than WM6.5 so if you are planning to use Android as your main Rom you are much better using something like Duttys v12 Rom which is totally stable and very fast.

U.S. Builds

Quick question. Ive loaded a few different android builds onto my Tmobile HD2, but all seem to be loaded with all of the English settings except United States. Is there a reason why, or a way to load English U.S. settings into the builds? Or am i jsut missing builds with the U.S. settings? Thanks for any help.

Dear mskip, with all do respect, (love your work, and your devotion for the community is all known) but, i think it is more easier to use sprite migrate, i know that, sprite costs money, but they have a trial period :)

and you can use it backwards too (i suppose it, did not tried yet)

Ok I just bought myself an HD2. I'm coming from a Touch2 and Magic that I played around with (read : flashed them a lot :D) so I'm not a total newbie but I still have questions to make things right. I'm not expecting real answers but links to useful threads. I won't be your generic newbie asking the same questions over and over !

1.) I know it's not Android related but I don't want to spam the board with several posts. My version of WinMo is in Dutch (Belgian phone). Could you point me the good thread to get it in French ? I did for my old Touch2 but it was a long time ago so I'm not sure...

2.) I'd like to run Android on the phone (and only that OS). I was wondering if it only works as dual boot (lauching through WinMo) or could I flash it to get a full Android experience. If so, were to start ?

Again, not asking you to answer me. Links will do just fine...;)

Is there a certain step that needs to be followed to get the portable Wi-fi hotspot to work. Everytime I try to start it up I keep getting an error msg the Android version Iam using is 2.2.1

Hello.

I think there used to be a sticky somewhere, but maybe I missed it.

My question is: which is the simplest way to keep all my apps (not just those on the SD card) with their data, and possibly also system settings when switching from one build to another?

If there is already a topic about this, just linking is helpful for me.:)

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I have already tried Titanium Backup, but it only restored SOME of my apps, many disappeared from the list. I don't remember which where restored and which not, maybe it depends on location they where installed in (phone or SD), maybe not.

Also found a general sticky which mentions this problem, and it suggests using Titanium Backup. Does this mean that I am just using TB incorrectly? (or maybe that I have just been unlucky)

Battery drain: The Unique Obstacle for daily use.

Hi All,

Currently I am using Android from SD card and I find significant battery usage while standby. Even if the phone is in Aeroplane mode and goes to standby, it consumes 3-5% battery in every hour.

For Widnows mobile it is hardly 1%. I was wondering if I flash my ROM with Android, will the battery performance be near to WM?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Black Antitoon:
torij, you have to download a build and follow the instructions in the readme.txt file. If there is no readme, you generally have extract all files in a folder on the SD card named Android, then run from the phone CLRCAD.EXE and then Haret.exe, and wait several minutes for the first boot (up to 15-30 minutes for some builds, less than 1 minute for others). If you get stuck during boot, then try to put all files onto the root of the SD card instead of the Android folder.

Problem with 16 GB SD card on Android

Recently I have bought a Kingston 16GB class 4 microSD card for my HTC HD2. On my old 8GB class 4 Sandisk, Android used to work all right, programs loaded very quickly, there were no performance issues. Now, Android works very slowly, programs take forever to load and there is a 10-60 second delay when the phone wakes up. I've tried different Android builds and kernels, different radios, but the problem persists. I've tested the memory card and it has a steady 4 MB/s write speed (standard for class 4), so it's probably not a fake. Is there any way to make Android run smooth again?

Issues with flashing HSPL on my Leo

Hi,

I wanted to port Android on my Leo and I have issues with flashing the HSPL first (I was using the Gold Card method to flash new FW so far).

I have downgraded to 1.66 with SPL 1.42, then I tried to HSPL my device with using HSPL3_PKG.exe from XDA. When I start the .exe the phone goes into Bootloader showing first Serial, then USB(I installed the HTC USB drivers per installing HTC Sync), the program allows me to flash 2.08 HSPL and then the flash starts as the status bar moves from left to right constantly but nothing happens on the device, even not after 10 Minutes, I pull off my Leo and it boots fine but no HSPL flash, I am still on SPL 1.42. What am I doing wrong? (I am using Parallels on a MAC btw).

If you are not installing Android to NAND you needn't change your SPL. Just download a build, extract put the Android folder to the SD card, run CLRCAD.exe and run Haret.exe.

If you get stuck at the Android logo then put all files to the *root* of the SD card then try again.:)

If you are not installing Android to NAND ( what meaninig with Nand )you needn't change your SPL. Just download a build( also what meaninng with Build ), extract put the Android folder to the SD( did you mean outer memory or storage device )( because size of Android is 450 mb) card, run CLRCAD.exe and run Haret.exe.

If you get stuck at the Android logo then put all files to the *root* ( where can i find it )of the SD card then try again.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Black Antitoon:
NAND is the internal phone memory. SD card is the external storage card, the memory card which you can remove (image below).

The "root of the SD card" means "on the SD card in *no folder*". Directly into the SD card, do not create any folder.

Try this one for example: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=892797

It is very fast and easy to install. Create an "Android" folder on the SD card, then extract everything into "Android", then run CLRCAD.exe (nothing will happen), then Haret.exe.:)

WARNING: if you use the build I have linked, do NOT transfer files with USB when you are using Android. Use a card reader or transfer them with Windows Mobile, but not with Android, or you may have problems. Also, do not remove the SD card when the phone is on and running Android, always turn it off before removing the card.

EDIT: Sorry, forgot that you want Gingerbread. The build I have linked is Froyo. There are some Gingerbread builds, but not everything works yet (Camera and GPS aren't working).

I can't hard reset : vol down+ vol up + answer key + reset.

It always reboots on magldr and android.

The only thing i can do is to change android rom with magldr (option 4 : android flash usb).

Is there a way to flash bootloader record (if exist) ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Black Antitoon:
IIRC you have to hold volume down then SHORT PRESS end call (not answer key), and you will get to the bootloader. If you LONG PRESS, you will get to MAGLDR, even if you are still holding volume down. Once you are in bootloader mode I think you can just flash back a stock ROM. Not really sure about that, read the stickies before flashing!

I think that your background will be cropped rather than out of proportion. You have to select a square, despite your screen being a vertical rectangle, because the extra slices of the image are used when you scroll to the left and right launcher screens. When you scroll, the background also slightly scrolls. If you really do see the background out of proportion, not just cropped, then there is something wrong (or something I don't understand in any case).
