[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Reno_79:
Battery life for me is about 28-30 hours with average use (about an hour of calls, couple dozen emails, and an hour or so of music, 3G connected all the time, and about an hour browsing). Calibration is the key to getting good battery life. Even with heavy usage (3 hours calls, 2 hours music, Wifi connected four hours and heavy browsing and some gaming) My battery still lasts over 12 hours.

Most buggy... depends really on ROM. The build I'm using now (see sig) is [knock on wood] pretty flawless. I've not had an error in the three days I've been using it so far, but not everyone is as lucky as me. Your milage WILL vary. Some roms work perfect for some and are horrendous for others.

Again, I've not found an app that doesn't work yet. HD2 is a top of the line spec phone, so if something doesn't work on it, the app itself is usually at fault.

The touch screen is AMAZING, easily the best I've used and compares well to the Desire HD's screen.

Overclocking is pointless. End of story. You have a 1Ghz processor in the HD2, unless you're planning to take over the world why would you need anything more than that to play Angry Birds?

Ok, this was REALLY helpful. What Quadrant score do you usually get?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] anap40:
Quadrant scores are useless too. They really just measure how modified your kernel is to fit the test - it doesn't really translate to real life usage at all.

I have tried pretty much every build there is and I have settled on the CM6 builds being the most stable and smoothest. I started using Shubcraft(RMNET) in August and since then I tried out all kinds of Sense builds. After a day or two with the sense builds I always got tired of the lag that there is in sense, or other problems like the camera not working in some sense builds, or the PPP connection being so unstable.

I am now using Michyprima's daily CM6 build. It is very stable, I get through a day(8am-10pm) everyday even w/ pretty heavy use. My only complaint is that there are still TS freezes (even though I read they are supposed to be fixed), the PPP data connection freezes too frequently, and sometimes the screen takes a little while to wake up.

The phone is quite usable for day to day use, but it isn't free of bugs like your MT Slide is.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GoCkillaz:
Free of bugs? Haha how funny. The Froyo Sense build I'm running has no keyboard lights, a few buttons don't work, and the browser force closes if java is enabled.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Reno_79:
lol at the above. And just to reiterate, any and all benchmark scores are ultimately pointless. It's how it actually performs which only you can judge, not be told by a bunch of numbers which can be synthetically bumped up and still produce a competely unstable heap of poo.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] anap40:
I'm just letting you know that I have used my girlfriends mt slide, and it is less buggy than Android on the HD2. If you are complaining about the bugs in that phone then android on the HD2 isn't for you.

u can well notice the improvement in all programs that push the phone to its limits ie : gameloft games , pocket legends , browser with flash , homescreen smoothness(only with sense)

also , u know whats the difference between ati hd4870 and 4890 ? nothing , but the clockrate , try telling any1 who works with technology clockrate is pointless .. oh wait u already did
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Reno_79:
And you've been awarded the "I don't know jack about phones" prize too. I know full well that overclocking a processor increases cycles per second and overall throughput but that means absolutely nothing unless all you care about is benchmarks. I prefer to have a stable phone that doesn't reboot on me ever, and plays EVERYTHING ON THE MARKET perfectly, thanks. Go troll elsewhere. And maybe you should listen to the kernel devs who say overclocking is NOT necessary.

-Fully protects the camera from the phone resting on it when you lay the phone on a hard flat surface face up.

-Fully protects the screen if you lay the phone face down on hard surface by having the case touch the surface and not the screen.

-Fits the phone snuggly and entirely and is stylish to boot

-Phone doesn't become a hassle to remove from your pocket because of the case material

-Case protects phone from dropping at average walking heights where you would be carrying the phone (4-5 feets) shock absorbent material

-Volume buttons and power button protected yet easy to push

I wouldn't mind buying a case that comes with a screen protector too, anyone know of any deals down this road?

What cases fit this criteria? I went to BestBuy today to check out what they had and I was very disappointed.

Recommendations would be very much appreciated! Thanks.

[Desire General] mmk92:
im looking for the fastest rom on the desire

the recently hacked xperia x10 that has the same hardware as the desire but with a smaller ram has scored on quadrant 1882 running 2.1 and a reported 2558 on the soon to be released 2.2

so what im looking for is a way to blow that score...the highest iv scored so far on my desire is 1460 with 2.2 vanilla stock roms(AOSP, CM, OD) and an overclocked cpu with the performance setting

so is there any other roms that can score as the xperia?
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
As far as i know the MIUI roms score the highest in quadrant, but is there any real reason for wanting a high score?
[Desire General] chris2busy:
So you need a trick...to surpass a hack that makes a bad device, made by a bad manifacturer,running an outdated os version on bad hardware with laughable support and mind numbingly low representation to compete vs a such legenday device as desire???????????????????????????

step 1 Flash ANY aosp rom

step 2 use smartass governor on 250-1xxx frequency....

good..now u can proove to ur friend that bought a device born dead that rs is better than his.... /clap

IMHO i like defrost, it feels fast and smooth w/ launcher pro and what not. :D
[Desire General] Galaid:
Defrost 6.0e, o'c to 1190. Quadrant 1900+ (performance governor).
[Desire General] martijn_bakker:
People have posted Quadrant scores of 1800-1950 with overclocked Desires. The processor is decent but rumour has it that the score is not as high as it could be because the Desire's ROM is a bit slow. Also, results vary wildly. It's not uncommon for one test to be in the 1300s and the next in the 1800s. If you want to post a high score, be prepared to run a lot of tests.. or to use photoshop like everybody else.

You'll want an AOSP Kernel for overclocking and the highest speed scores have been posted by people with MIUI Roms (but that could just be because those Roms immitate the iPhone and thus appeal to the more status conscious, ePeen swinging crowd).

Sure the Desire streams 720p H264 video without hiccups on it's small screen

It plays 3D games with a decent enough framerate on it's rather uncomfortably small screen

But erm.. it's a bloody phone. Seriously... what do you want from it?

Test your new code for calculating the 798426th decimal of pi?

Calculating AES private keys?
[Desire General] vnvman:
The fastest roms are definitely OpenDesire 4.0.36 and Cyanogenmod 6.1 RC1, both equipped with some of the latest vorkKernels: you'll often get over 2000 on Quadrant (for what it's worth) with those. Also Oxygen 0.2.2 is pretty fast, but not as fast as them. Defrost is ok too but it's not as stable as those imho. Same story with MIUI...
[Desire General] AndroHero:

[Desire General] interqd:
soory if false.. but is not big quadrant score doesnt guarantee the phone / roms perform well ?
[Desire General] vnvman:
Woot?!? How do you get such huge scores on a sense rom?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
by bind mounting /data/ onto a 2gig ext4 partition, it massively increases the I/O score on quadrant, its not suggested for low class sd cards though as it will slow your phone down loads, it was sibere who developed the method and script in this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9362929&postcount=24 and dosent work with apps2sd, but that isnt needed as your internal storage will become your ext, so for example i have 2GB of inernal storage on my desire :D:)

You guys seem pretty knowledgeable, so here goes... How can I get the fastest quadrant scores possible, mainly to smoke my friends galaxy s, what can I do (ie: roms, kernels, partitioning... also disadvantages of each)?.

I will be getting a Patriot class 10 8gb soon, and I would like some tips of what are the fastest roms (stable is preferred), best kernels and things like hacking the I/O to increase scores. Thanks in advance.

It's silly going for big Quadrant scores, it means nothing.

This is my MIUI_Au ROM, test build (not public release) ;)

Desire @ stock speed (998Mhz). I haven't bothered testing it @ 1.19Ghz yet, but I reckon it'll smash 4k (not that it means anything)
[Desire General] NickB95:
I know it doesnt mean anything, I just want to smoke a friends galaxy s. and how in gods name did you do that to the i/o? If only I could do that... My cpu is higher, my memory is higher, my 2d is better than the galaxy s, and the 3d is almost equal to one. That I/o hack, + gingerbread + oc+ gpu+... Crack 4000 easy.
[Desire General] NickB95:
Link please :p
[Desire General] NickB95:
Plz, do tell if u ever release that ;)
[Desire General] sdawson:
The quadrant scores with high I/O are done by creating a dedicated loopback device of 20MB just for quadrant's data folder. Normal Data2SD or Data2Ext will put you somewhere around 2200, however, throw in a class 10 and a dedicated loop back and you can get 3-4000, but it doesn't mean anything because it's just been set up for a high I/O score and the ROM doesn't actually go that fast with normal use.
[Desire General] aaa:
Yup! Quadrant scores are not important.

The most important thing is how the ROM is reacting during daily usage.

Smoothness of the transisions, apps loading time, no lagging, etc. are more important than Quadrant scores.

[Desire General] davebugyi:
Quadrant scores are not revelant, when it comes to speed in real world usage, TBH. But I have to admit, that the data++ ROMs are very fast.

Sent from my customized HTC Desire using TTP
[Desire General] foobar66:
Indeed, high quadrant scores are typically achieved by intermediate caches, loopbacks and delayed syncing data to SD card. They are meaningless and usually just generate lags as the data has to be written in larger chunks at some point. Then your phone stalls.

Kernels do make a little bit of difference. OC as well but you have to be careful. My phone can handle 1113Mhz and remain stable. OC to 1152Mhz or 1119Mhz and I get random crashes.

The key point is to run as much as possible from internal memory, not from SD card. And keep the dalvik-cache on internal memory. Apps (apk files) can be moved to SD card, the .dex files into the dalvik-cache will be generated on the first boot.

For Sense ROMs, I am running data++ with self compiled kernel starting from Richard's sources. BFS scheduler, noop IO scheduler, and 2 patches from http://arighi.blogspot.com/2011/01/howto-install-custom-kernel-on-htc.html .

Then I have some optimized memory and network settings (through init.d):

sync

echo "3" > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

# tweak memory settings

echo "1536,3072,4096,51200,57600,64000" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

mount -o remount,nodev,noatime,nodiratime /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

mount -o remount,nodev,noatime,nodiratime /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data

# tweak dalvik vm

setprop dalvik.vm.execution-mode int:fast

and some settings initialized via sysctl:

vm.swappiness=0

vm.min_free_kbytes=4096

vm.dirty_expire_centisecs=1200

vm.oom_kill_allocating_task=1

vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50

kernel.panic_on_oops=0

kernel.tainted=0

net.ipv4.ip_forward=0

net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=1

kernel.sysrq=0

kernel.core_uses_pid=1

net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout=30

net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time=1200

net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=0

kernel.randomize_va_space=0

net.ipv4.tcp_wmem=4096 32768 220416

net.ipv4.tcp_rmem=4095 174760 220416

net.core.rmem_max=221184

net.core.wmem_max=221184

net.core.rmem_default = 110592

Also I increased dalvik-heap to 64m.

That has given the fastest result for me on Froyo Sense ROM. Very fast and more important: no lags. I get quadrant scores around ~1300, may not look so high, but again, it is meaningless. I once managed to get around ~2700 scores with data2sd and some wacko mount options but the phone was a lot less responsive due to the many lags. Sometimes it was fast, sometimes it was very slow. So unpredictable.

I found this intersting topic

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5786377#post5786377

"I've figured out how to get Opera Mobile 10 Beta 3 to only display websites in desktop view without getting redirected to a mobile version of the site. UPDATE: Works in Opera 10 Final too!

The first 2 steps are pretty common knowledge, but they don't work for all sites. It's the 3rd step that makes every website work for me.

Step 1: Set a custom user agent string

This tells websites what kind of device you are using to browse the site (desktop computer, smartphone, etc).

Goto opera:config -> User Prefs -> Custom User-Agent

Find a desktop user agent string, type it in, and save. I'm using the one from my Firefox browser on my home desktop (it can be found by clicking Help -> About Mozilla Firefox). Mine looks like this:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

You can use whatever string you can find that works. I've even seen people use an iPhone user agent to get iPhone versions of websites.

Step 2: Spoof a user agent ID

This tells websites what client you are using.

Goto opera:config -> User Agent -> Spoof User Agent ID

Type in the number corresponding to a browser to identify as that browser

Global values:

1 = Opera

2 = Mozilla

3 = Internet Explorer

Site-specific values:

4 = Mozilla, Opera not mentioned

5 = Internet Explorer, Opera not mentioned

Don't forget to save. I have mine set to 2, so websites think I'm using Firefox

Step 3: Set custom HTTP_Accept parameters

This one is hard to explain, but it basically tells the website which versions (i.e. desktop or mobile) are acceptable for viewing.

Goto opera:config -> Network -> HTTP Accept

Type this in exactly:

text/html, application/xml;q=0.9, application/xhtml+xml, application/x-obml2d, multipart/mixed, image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, */*;q=0.1

Please note that this is just the default entry minus the one element that allows for mobile/wap viewing.

Also in the Network section, go to HostName Expansion Prefix and delete wap from the list. Remember to save. Exit the browser and everything should work like a desktop from now on! You can go to www.whatsmyuseragent.com to check and see if everything is right. If you still want to view mobile versions of sites, you'll have to type in the specific mobile URL for that site (I keep mobile versions of my bookmarks just in case I get stuck on EDGE or a slow connection).

Hope this helps! If anyone with web-coding experience would like to explain further or correct anything I did wrong, please be my guest!"

by Eman3000; thx!

It's really useful and it does work everywhere.

However it takes ages to do it everytime.. can anyone make this process a lot faster? like write a .cab and/or a .reg?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frmariam:
Loved it!

Been looking for alternative browser for this sole reason. Nice and easy workaround (with proper credits given and a link to the source... you rock). Thanks for the share.

The opera repo thread is riddled with so much "spam" posts that I'm sure I'd have never found it. Definitely the most useful hack I read in quite a while.

EDIT: I used this in Opera 9.5. Did some digging and this info seems to be stored in opera.ini (stored in Application Data in Opera's folder... don't know if this is a constant over versions) which somewhat makes the cab method unfeasable (considering that it would affect all of the other user settings...). Also compared complete registry dumps and nothing was changed so the reg method is out. Would be however possible to Mortscript this (may need to be adapted according to Opera version which could be a pain).

EDIT2: Searched xda and found this. Took a peek with MSCEInf and found these cabs just change a few lines in the registry (no files). No for my version but may interest you.
