best android rom so far

Tried few android roms so far.. both SD and NAND versions.. best rom so far.. thank you very much.

good bits:

1. stable - no need to reboot often.

2. fast - no lag like other roms /SD roms

3. very good battery life... lasted for 2 days with minimal use without charging

4. very nice way of switching off phone - feels like switching off a Television.

Not so good bits:

1. No sense - need some launcher to get the same feel.

2. cannot switch off bluetooth / wifi from the status bar.

3. no FM radio

4. Android phone keypad - no option to call the contacts with the names(like in sense phone keypad) - you can overcome this by downloading phone dialers like touchpal dialer.

Hope this review help my friends.

I'm Loving this ROM, the only problem with 2.6 is that the Bluetooth wont automaticaly connect to my car any more. I now get a notification of a 'Bluetooth connection request' and I have to type in the passcode each time. Even then it dosent always connect. Does anyone have any ideas how to overcome this

Thanks

In v2.5 and the earlier versions, we must disable Audible touch tones in Sound settings to avoid the robot voice issue and no sound issue.

In v2.6, I included a robot voice fix, so we don't need to disable Audible touch tones in Sound settings.

I wonder if this fix is not a permanent fix, so you encounter the no sound issue.

Try to disable Audible touch tones in Sound settings to see if your problem still exists.

Pulled a good working LatinIME.apk from MDJ's build, all numbers are displayed on the keyboard for all languages.

Packed it for CWM.

Enjoy!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] xandermac:
So what is the deal with recovery mod in this build. It says it intergrated but theres no recovery zip file. How does that work?

I'd think the OP might want to make it clear how to load this using CWR if he isnt going to follow the standard installation method and wants people to try this.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dave-:
Yeah you were right, I was using spare parts which had a keyboard menu and said it was installing a different keyboard, but it didn't do anything. I then used a htc_ime.zip from a friend to update but it didn't work from the recovery bootloader and deleted the default android keyboard lol. Used adb to push the htc_ime files to the right places and all good now.

Just gotta work out why my current draw is going stupid, its doing 60mA even with screen off but I've installed setcpu to drop cpu to lowest speed which usually gets it down to 2-4mA but isn't helping it seems?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jase33:
apps like Facebook & twitter use CPU to update. When they do and the CPU is set to 384 they take longer to update, using the battery longer and draining it faster. I have found this is one reason you get fluctuating draws when the screen is off.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dave-:
I uninstalled FB and Twitter as I don't use them via ADB shell. I only have google account syncing contacts/calendar/gmail. That would explain the spikes to 100-200mA some times which screen is off. But I am seeing a constant 60mA draw with currentwidget updating every 60sec.

Will try rebooting the phone, otherwise I'm gonna have to go back to the previous build.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jase33:
I have not found battery life to be the best with this one. But nand is new and something will come around for it. Give the rom a full charge cycle and some time. I have noticed it improve sometimes.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] buzz killington:
You have to flash it the first time you install it. The installer sets up the partition to give you maximum user data space. After that you can do all the recovery stuff.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] xandermac:
Ahh. Thanks. I'll have to look into that method to be sure it wont affect any of my other roms.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] h3llfire741:
hows the battery life in this thing?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] buzz killington:
You can run it through this script if you don't want to disturb your current partition structure

Pretty awesome. I thought I'd miss the cyanogenmod's pull down power control. But right now I just leave everything on and still get 2-3ma on standby.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] h3llfire741:
What was the longest time you've had your phone running without charging?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] buzz killington:
It's almost always charging when I'm at my desk :) I have a powermat and whenever I put it down it's charging.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dave-:
Not great for me, can't work out why though. Will give it a full power cycle and charge etc and see how it goes in 24hrs time.

In my opinion, the best keyboard around is HTC_IME, check this link. It works perfectly with all the builds, roms I have tried so far, including this one!

Is there any way of adding extra features/options to turn on/off to the power control widget? I seem to remember that this was possible somewhere down the line in Android?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] lms1407:

[HD2 Android NAND Development] tytung:
Data switch never exists in a AOSP/stock power control widget.

If you need other options, please install the third party app.

Ty,

I hope you received my extremely modest donation, along with the message. I'd like to encourage everyone here to donate to these people that worked so hard on this project!

Anyways, here's step-by-step what I did:

Formatted SD card (I've done both quick format and complete format)

Task 29 (I was having issues with getting a stock ROM to load - please note, my phone is currently running Cotulla when vol. down + power is done, if version # is important, I will provide)

Loaded stock T-Mobile Windows 6.5 ROM, and then used that to upload the NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.6_NAND_Android-2.3.3_update.zip file to my SD card VIA my laptop+usb. Transferred just fine, and I was able to browse my SD card just fine.

Volume down + Power, then loaded MAGDLR. Phone power cycled.

Went to USB flasher, and loaded clockwork (DAF.exe), seemed to load just fine.

From MAGDLR, went to (I can't remember the exact name, but the loader that allows you to go into Clockwork and load a zip file)

On the orange text/black bg screen, went to load the NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.6_NAND_Android-2.3.3_update.zip file, but when trying to select that option, it gives me the error of "E: Can't mound /SDCARD".

I think that about sums it up. Thanks again.

I'm Loving this ROM, stable, fast, very good battery life. Sorry for the my bad English.

I altered the background Phone.apk .. Now there is no Colour banding during the call.

Download

Original Phone.apk

[HD2 Android NAND Development] tytung:
Which formatting program do you use?

You are using MAGLDR ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.4, right?

Please go to CWM and choose "mounts and storage", "mount USB storage".

If you need to copy files to SD card, please use this feature, don't/never use MAGLDR's "USB MassStg" feature.

If you still encounter the same problem when choosing CWM's "mount USB storage", tell me the error message and then try another SD card if you have.

Or choose "format /sdcard" and then "mount USB storage".

Next time please say the exact name. Don't say you can't remember the exact name when you request any help.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] omfgitsMatt:
I appreciate the input, and apologize for not being SPOT ON perfect with my description. I'm currently working, and need to use my phone as a hotspot, so I'm on WinMo6.5, and couldn't switch back to that setup. I apologize, again.

I was using Window's to format it, just the stock Win7 formatting utility. Yes, that's the version of Clockwork I'm using. I downloaded the files directly from this thread. I've tried mounting it VIA CWM, but it still wouldn't let me. I'll try again, though.

I will give that a shot when I get back to my office this evening. Thank you again for your help.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] :
Don't know what happened, but I can't load CWM anymore at startup. I get the screen but when I select AD Recovery, it says loading 123456 GO GO GO and freezes there. I waited over 5 minutes and nothing happens. Have to pull the battery.

I tried this several times with no success. It boots into the NexusHD2 NAND ROM without a problem, but I want to make a backup and can't.

Anyone experienced this problem before? If I just reinstall MAGLDR with the 135M partition, will that require me to reinstall NexusHD2 ROM also or can I just start using it?

Thanks.

Hiya,

Sometimes it happens to me as well, but not really often. Last time I was listening to music via bt headset and sound suddenly stopped, phone froze. After few FCs, no sound at all until reboot. I have "Audible touch tones" switched off.

Also I was testing hot spot feature recently and I must say, works pretty well. Shared my phones data connection to laptop to watch a football game at work. :D Worked like a charm, stable connection between devices, just great. :D

The volume coming out from the ring, sms tone or music is a bit soft. Tried the volume boost on other thread, but doesnt work! any help? thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] omfgitsMatt:
Just thought I would update this for anyone with the same issue. If your SD card appears to be "bricked" (won't mount within Android or CWM), I was able to get around this by throwing in another card to temporarily install the software. As for the SD card itself that was being problematic, I put it in my work phone which is a Blackberry 9650 (Bold). Finally found a good use out of this heap of crap phone. When I put the card in, did a battery pull, and powered it back up, it asked me to format it. I did that, and it actually did a nice little format which allowed my SD card to now be fully functional again. :)

wake up with end button problem

Hi all, I have very strange problem. When wake up my phone with end button screen doesn't respond and is imposible to unlock the phone. And sometimes when I try to restart the phone with holding the end button the phone options appeared but the screen is inactive. When I try with other keys everything is OK. I did task29 and clean install but the problem is still here. I use NexusHD2-Gingerbread since february and I never had this problem before.

Download magldr_sd_recovery_3.0.2.5.zip, decompress it.

Copy zImage and initrd.gz to root of the SD card.

Choose "Boot AD SD" on MAGLDR to enter CWM.

Backup your current ROM using CWM.

Reinstall MAGLDR_CWM_Recovery_v3.0.2.4_for_NexusHD2_135M.zip to get "AD Recovery" feature back.

Restore your backup using CWM.

You can use "Boot AD SD" or "AD Recovery" on MAGLDR to enter CWM now.

P.S.: You can update MAGLDR_recovery_3.0.2.4.img to v3.0.2.5 (get it from magldr_recovery_3.0.2.5.zip) before installing it.

This ROM is the smoothest ROM I've ever seen!

Everything works perfect.

But what about a Benchmark?

I've got 1100 Pts on Quadrant. Most of the Users got 1400 and more Pts.

So it seems that my HTC HD2 don't work perfect as it looks like.

Can somebody can give me his Quadrant-Score, Thanx ;-)

Hiya,

Download Terminal Emulator (free from the market) and type:

Now you should see "Moving dalvik-cache.." or something like that and then phone reboots and its done.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wearefree:
I have a similar score, with this build and the froyo build. But smoothness is the more important thing, don't you agree?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] patensas:
After spending a lot of time flashing my device with every build available on XDA I keep getting back to this beauty, sure I noticed the low score on quadrant but does it really effect the smoothness?

I used to use setcpu to overclock builds squeezing the maximum performance out of them, I stopped using it with this build. No other build is giving me such a smooth experience. But far most important no other build seems to be as friendly and as stable as this one.

I couldn't find any issues at all and this build is getting me through the day every day.

Video recording not working

Hi Guys,

Can someone help me understand why my video recorded files do not open on my phone. It does not give an error while recording, but when I try to open it after recording, it "cannot play video" or "Sorry this video cannot be played"

please explain, thanks.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] robs1971:
Ok so following these instructions;

Installation:

Place your downloaded files in the SD card.

Enter MAGLDR. (hold "Power" button during boot)

Choose AD Recovery (in MAGLDR 1.13) or Boot AD SD (in MAGLDR 1.11~1.13) to enter the ClockworkMod Recovery.

Choose install zip from sdcard and locate your downloaded file to finish the installation.

All done.

When I try to install the zip to the sd card it runs for 10 seconds then I get the following message.....'Cannot copy Nexus HD2. Cannot find the specified file'

Any help please guys?

Thanks
[HD2 Android NAND Development] jjrumph:
You don't really install to your sd card, YOu download the zip file to your pc. Then move the zip file from your pc to your sd card . Do not put it into any file just on the root of the card. Then power off phone then holding power button until magldr menu appears. Assuming you have clockwork recovery scroll down to AD recovery. Get into clockwork, scroll to install zip from sd card. Then choose zip, scroll to the zip file for the rom and hit the green phone or enter button. It will do its thing. Once installed, go back to reboot system now and enter. From there it will install and you are done.

You would have to reflash a windows rom, and then go back to using the old SD based builds and having too boot into windows and then into android.

HD2 on android, particularly with this build blows winmo out of the water.
