There are many Rom's that are good.

It's just a question of which one you like and then stick with it.

I have tested just about all of them. But keep coming back to Fresh, I have been mainly on 3.3.0.1. If you donate to his cause you can also get his kitchen which lets you do more on it.

Plus there are so many themes that you can change it's look without really changing the ROM.

Good luck Flashing, and Remember Nandroid is your friend here.

Oh I also use amon_ra as it's been the best at clearing the Caches for flashing.

Go Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1

The kernel within is HTC updated which puts hit on battery life , netarchy-toastmod-4.1.9.1 cfs kernel is a excellent replacement.

That ROM & kernel combined provides stability top notch performance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eman3316@optonline.net:
Sure, sounds good....How do we get that done?

J/K. There are some great Roms out there by many developers each offering it's own flavor....My personal favorite is Myn's. I might be biased here because of my HTC Vogue days and his ability to turn that device into a fully operating Android machine! His EVO Rom offers stability, speed, looks, and something that just says wow....

Also, if you want the next best thing but can live without some features and don't mind things not being perfect, check out Zippy's Desire HD Rom. Also Bcnices's MIUI Rom.

I am pretty sure Calkulin's Rom would be pretty close to perfect as I have ran his prior versions on my EVO and they have worked well.....Also check out Virus and Ava. I am sure I am forgetting some of the other top dogs out there.

Most of the developers have gotten a pretty good handle on there Roms so I suggest reading through them to see what the comments are within the thread which should help with your decision making.....

You can find most of the Roms within the first 2 pages.....If it has fallen below that, I would question it....

2nd that. I also use Calkulin's 1.3.1 and after adjusting oc profiles to 1152, I get amazing speed and battery life. Also did away with HTC scene for ADW and found all the widgets lost with HTC scene like music player and grid calendar. Really dumped HTC for ADW for landscape support. Just make sure to pick one as default because you will take a hit with both running.

I tried almost all the roms here and it depends of your flavor lol, anyways sense roms favorite is myns is just looks clean and functional with eye candy ha ha but fresh and calkulin Rom are good as well and fast and stable. I'm trying evervolv v 0.2 I it comes with the slate theme from desire HD dump Rom and it looks really good so far it looks stable, if you don't like sense then I hues CM 6 will be good, the other roms are great but never left them for over a day idk y ha ha, there is one that I like but I forgot the name and is new too. I think this guys are doing a great job with their roms that have manage to put something really good for us and they all deserve credit

Get in the zone

If you want something that looks different and works great.

I recommend Evo Zone. It is by far the best looking Rom out here. It is original and creative in its look.

As far as battery life goes, you can try different kernels till you find the one that works best for you.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonboyuk:
***EDIT***

Well it would seem like my random reboots have gone away. Thanks to Tubgirl for the suggestion, but using Hastarin's 7.5R kernel with NO overclocking, AXI etc, it's finally stable once again.

In fact, I used that kernel with Darkstone's latest 3.2 build and the battery is crazy. I am getting approximately 7 hours of battery life for every 10% of the battery. That's with BT, data and all syncing turned on and basic use. That's around 3 days of life for a light user. Didn't even get that with winmo!

So for me - the moral of the story is stick to the clean, non overclocked kernels. As for speed, I cannot tell the difference (I don't play any games to be fair though).

***END***

For some strange reason, my phone randomly reboots at completely bizarre intervals when running Android. I can't put my finger on what it might be. So some questions!

- Does anyone else experience this?

- I'm running VBN RC3 Minimal WM ROM, might it be this?

- I'm running the 2.14 Radio is it this?

- I'm running mostly Mdeejay builds could it be them (happens with all of the one's I've tried)?

- Is it likely to be piece of android software?

- Is there any way I can find a log to see why it's rebooted?

My HD2 has never done it, but my mates has.

He contacted HTC on Thursday and they are repairing it under warranty.

It is a well known issue that affected around 3000 handsets in the UK apparently. They call it the "heat related reboot", and it involves replacing the motherboard and another component.

His has gone back, they sent a courier to collect it..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mutha:
Mine has been randomly rebooting for about 2 weeks now.

It usually happens once a day when running Winmo or Android. Sometimes when it reboots I get a rectangular box across the bottom of the screen for about a second. I dont know if this is caused by the Radio Rom update or it is just coincidence.

I have swapped the battery but it has made no difference.

It's driving me mad.:mad:

i have this problem too, under android and wm. Still testing to find out hwats causing it but looks more and more a heat issue, eventhough it does not heat that much.

unfortunately dont have warranty so not sure what i can do.

when i have an audio or video stream, or navigator thats when it happens mostly. but i had random reboots as well for no reason.

is there something on WM we can use to find out whats making it reboot?

Me too!

I'm also experiensing this. It started just when the whole android hd2 thing started. I have this problem no matter what radio/rom I'm using (except from stock). Reboots in win. Android gives SOD/reboots. I've tried some reasearching in to this and found out that when I flash back to original rom/radio it's stable. Between every flash i do Task29.

I've tried different memory cards and even swapped the battery with a collegue.

Still the same. Funny thing if it suddenly are many people experiensing this problem..

Could it have something to do with android experiments?

Bad thing is that it would be difficult to send it in for repair since it's working with original rom/radio.

You should all try to flash a stock radio and rom to see if it still reboots.. Mine don't..

I switched to the latest hyperdroid v1.6 and have not had this problem yet although It did happen to me a lot when I was running different builds (cant remember which ones sry) Try switching builds and also make sure you turn everything off in WM like bsb tweaks and radio all that stuff.

Hello..

I've noticed that my HD2 also reboots sometimes in Android. I haven't used WM for a long, so I really don't know if it also reboots in WM. My question is though, is this a hardware issue? Never had this sorts of reboots before starting this Android @ HD2 game. An answer (or just a thought) to this question, will help me, since I have to send my HD2 for a repair tomorrow, cause the microUSB slot is broke. But if the reboot issue is a hardware fault, then I should also report that, to the repair center.

Thanks.

The kernel is the part that handles all the input/output that goes through the OS, it's separate from the rest of the software and can be modified/changed separate from the rest of the rom release.

The rom is the car, the kernel is the engine. You can replace the engine, you can modify the engine, and the rest of the car isn't gonna ***** about it as long as everything hooks up and runs.

That said, the stock kernel in the official 3.29 ota is still a 2.6.32 base, it just has some modifications we don't know the nature of at the moment because the modified sources haven't been made available.

Also bear in mind that "3.29.x" is HTC's version scheme. They decide to refer to the release as a whole as 3.29.x. In reality it's really Android 2.2 (Froyo) + Sense UI + a 2.6.32 kernel.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenbeau:
Here is what helped me. A very kind and generous person posted the following and it makes it quite easy if you follow the steps carefully.

First, download http://www.multiupload.com/NMPX3KMWRS

This contains Odin, the Samsung Drivers, stock odin rom, updated odin rom, pit file.

If you don't want to lose your settings, etc. you can skip to the second part. If your phone still doesn't work than start from the top.

-PART 1-

Step 1.) Make sure you have the appropriate drivers installed for your phone. If you are on 64bit then choose 64, if you are on 32 choose 32. You may already have the drivers installed and it will tell you after you try to install them.

Step 2.) Power your phone off

Step 3.) Open Odin.exe and plug a usb cable to your computer that will connect to your phone (do not plug it in to the phone yet, just the computer)

Step 4.) Hold down both volume buttons at the same time and while holding them down plug the usb into your phone. You should see a COM message show up in Odin.

Step 5.) To ensure your phone is back to stock, in odin you will want to check the repartition button. ONLY CHECK IT WHEN YOU ARE FLASHING BACK TO STOCK. Leave the other check boxes the way they are.

Step 6.) Click the PIT button and select the 512.pit file

Step 7.) Click the PDA button and select Original.tar and then click Start

It should go through a bunch of steps and then your phone will reboot. Below are the steps to update it to the latest release.

Close Odin and power your phone off.

-PART 2-

Step 1.) Open Odin.exe and plug a usb cable to your computer that will connect to your phone (do not plug it in to the phone yet, just the computer)

Step 2.) Hold down both volume buttons at the same time and while holding them down plug the usb into your phone. You should see a COM message show up in Odin.

Step 3.) Leave all check boxes the way they are. Do NOT check the repartition box.

Step 4.) Click the PIT button and select the 512.pit file

Step 5.) Click the PDA button and select T959UVJI6.tar and then click Start

It will go through a bunch of steps and then your phone will reboot. Congrats, you are on the latest update!
