I have to Say at this point Its Android all the way, I am Running- [TMOUS][LEO1024]CMYLXGO's Stock Desire HD(2)[KERNEL: MDJ 10.4OC][RMNET] at the moment because i do a lot of texting and recieved a lot of emails and use google search religiously ! wm 6.5 just does not do the trick for me , even modded the sense ui is just un-bearable . Android sense is amazing , swipe to one side of the home screen and have your emails (You can set emails up to show you there content right in the widget)! Swipe to the other side of the home screen and you have your text messages ( you can set your text up the same way)! There is more control over your battery usage. I get 2ma standby average on my android thats 600 hours in standby if i never play with my phone . I can go with little usage for about 36 hours on the battery . I have had my phone unplugged now for 2hrs and i still read 100 percent with 2 short emails sent !

I started using Pocket PC years ago and saw it growing up till Windows Mobile, I think is the more complete OS and makes new powerful devices just a step behind a notebook if well configured (e.g. WM+HTC sense in Artemis custom ROMs).

Other OS are too close to be fully managed or to work offline.. sadly today the most part of customers are kids that use only facebook, twitter ,games and want to collect tons of sms.. so they don't need a complete device but just a kind of playstation..

I hope in the next future will arrime a WM7
[HD2 General] keensab:
NAND android without a doubt.

Awaiting the nand wp7 until i give that a try. Don't feel like messing with boot loading off sd card.
[HD2 General] peela.pavan:
I tried almost all of the OS's. And i conclude that both Android and WP7 are a great deal for the phone....

WM 6.5 insults HD2.

With the release of NAND ROM's, it is a true blessing for both the users and the phone. Thanks to DFT and Cotulla.

And to the guys at the XDA..... you guys ROCK...
[HD2 General] STHNS:
Man I miss my HD2 now so many OS lol HD2 sure is a true multi platform device. I am sure the prick who stole it is happy as I already tweaked the hell out of it. But ya I agree WM6.5 was a joke and 29XXX base maybe the best WM6.5.X out there for stability and functionality, if all don't work flash NAND ASOP and you are good to go.
[HD2 General] aceo07:
I'm also a big fan of WM6. My first WM device was a HP hx4700 with a nice 4" VGA display. The 4" display was great for reading during my commute. The HD2 is the first opportunity to really replace it.

The one trend I've noticed with Android/iPhone users is that they're mostly playing games on their phone, while I'm reading on my HD2 w/ WM, during the daily commute. This is true regardless of their age group, both young and old, if they have their phone out.

I think a phone/OS poll related to their most used feature would be interesting.

* I have also used Android for a year on my HTC G1. I DID play games more on it, but it was mainly due to the small low resolution screen. Reading on it was just a poor experience.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
For me custom WM6.5.3 is best ROM on my HD2.

A good custom ROM such as Energys set up correctly is simply a superb tool.

WM is simply far more customizable than Android & a more usable platform.

The main let down for WM is lack of up to date software development which is driving users to Droid.

If Microsoft had developed WM6.5 faster, developed WMDC to perfectly & simply backup/sync & trasnsfer PIM/data/files ect & realized the market gap that Android rolled into it would of been on top & had great app development & updates.

The only thing that let WM6.5.3 down was Microsofts WM team being managed by a bunch of monkeys, very dum monkeys at that :-P Once again Microsoft dropped the ball on a potential world class OS.
[HD2 General] STHNS:
I have to agree with Mister B as WM6.5.X is superb specially base 29XXX. If one installs the correct driver and patch and trust me you need to then HD2 is superior and till this day I miss that type of capability. In general one must look very hard to find something in software arena but thats where community comes in and share knowledge.

Yeah M$ is lacking on software dev but hey now they have new toy WM7, makes no diff don't waste time counting who has bigger app market lol its useless. The quality of app is what counts and in WM its delivered. Ya AOSP has alot of software but they are freeware? Think not they are adware. I got so sick of BS I cURLed 8.1gb of paid apps from app market before they banned my temp google account.

R.I.P. my stolen HD2... The prick who stole it I hope mofo gets hit by a bus but he don't die so he can suffer.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
I feel your anger, My old Kaiser was stolen by motorbike bandits. Hope he drops & breaks your HD2 screen before he can enjoy or sell your device & gets pancreatic cancer & dies slowly & without dignity.
[HD2 General] STHNS:
I paid $750 for HD2... also wasted like 150+ on accessories and then got Kingston 32GB mSD when it came out for $159 so lets call it 1k gone. But money is not what I was pissed off about as it was the data in it the contact numbers. The thing is I just flashed it and got call from GF and left for the bar so didn't have time to back it up. On my way returning we passed by HardRock Casino thats where it happend, I later called and left text messages saying I would buy the device back and even pay extra as I had biz contact in it which to this day I didn't recover as I got particle data back though manually logging on and checking recent call audit logs. For a week I stalked Craigslist and eBay got nothing lol I know prick kept it as early XMas gift he liked the extreme mod and my custom tweaks in it also which would allow him to render other device inferior. I just hope prick gets whats coming to him from Karma lol maybe he already got it and it was me who Karma got lol maybe he lost money in the Casino and got this and thought it was sign from god.

Funny part is I didn't have my total software suit installed which would have normally allowed me to track the phone done though GPS and even remotely backing and and locking the device. Just goes to show you when you need it you don't have jack from now on I don't leave unless I totally install what I need to as I want full control. I dream everyday of finding that prick or that prick bringing my device to me without knowing I was the real owner. If that happens :P I am sure yall would find out as I would be in news for murdering that prick over cellphone lol
[HD2 General] zengxisheng:
I prefer WM6.5. since now it is the stablest system as far as I know. but now I am still waiting for the better and stable WP7 rom ... who knows when it comes out?
[HD2 General] zengxisheng:
it is quite strange that a lot of guys like to use "Android NAND ". does it work very well. it seems that I have to have a try .
[HD2 General] kuschel:
Testing Android SD card version, not sure if I stay with it - battery usage ect.. But it is surely more fun. ;-)
[HD2 General] freemini:
Reading the comments makes me so pissed about myself :( I would have gladly payed 2 times more for a new hd2(with everything working) rather than 2 times less with only the touchscreen working and no usb so I'm stuck with sd builds which seem abandoned now... Although I like Android, I'm gonna stay on iOS. I just love the games, even though the simplicity is getting annoying by the day..

But I would love to give wp7 a try.. It seems iOS and Android combined, but better than both in some ways :)
[HD2 General] intgom:
WinMo 6.5.x for me, but only because I can't get push-email (Exchange) working on any of the Android builds or the WP7 build - really pi$$ed off about that.

Upside is that HD2 can now host all 3 platforms (and more) so the future is bright and I really shouldn't complain.
[HD2 General] Mikemcdold:
best android build

im using android superram with sense & best battery life
[HD2 General] marmar82:
I'm primarily using Nand's Nexus build... But I do love nrg's sencity builds....
[HD2 General] Lurittelija:
Funny how some ppl cry about stock WinMo, never had any issue with it and it would be just stupid for me to bad mouth those who have modified winmo's etc just because I'm not using one.

Like many I think Leo is and will be the best there is for a long time and not all understand it's capabilities even though it takes countless hours browsing through forums to get all out of the phone, for instance my wife couldn't handle a phone that requires as much as the stock winmo never the less CHT or installing another operating systems so the phone isn't just for anyone or works the best in the hands of a HC user.

Currently using stock WinMo with CHT, installed SD Android which was cool... but after a few minutes I realized that Android is only good for Angry Birds (trol? anyone? :)) Some say Android can be modified and open source blah blah blah... but with CHT the place of every bar and icon and switch to be placed with an accuracy of a millimetre to compare Android which is just dull.. I need my eye candy, I need easy and fast access to weather ad twitter etc.

But how fortunate are we to have this kinda tech at hand, like 5 diferent operating systems to choose.
[HD2 General] STHNS:
I am with Lurittelija with this one as AOSP has its thing but when it comes to graphic AOSP got beaten by the customization of WM6.5.X hell WM7 is even worse than AOSP. Now I know MT4G is superior than HD2 in every aspect but the HD2 sure is revolutionary with rich dev and it is truly the multi platform device.

HD2 on WM6.5.X (This is what I had)

MT4G on AOSP2.2.1 (This is what I have)

Simply in single screen I had everything I ever needed and wanted with some of my own custoiziation but hell AOSP ill need serious work to even display that in 5 screens lol.
[HD2 General] zinty:
Been going from one os to another

I have used winmo stock and i liked it, tried the android sd card versions before giving the nand versions some long trial and i was in love with it, when wp7 for hd2 was released, i had wet dreams because of the interface, i got all the verification process working and now i even have the 25 digit key code needed for activation which i did and my phone was automatically renamed to HTC HD7 T9292 and i downloaded many apps from the market, got my emails on time, but i decided to move back to android nand today because of

1. I cant use skype in wp7

2. Lack of copy and paste

3. This may sound weird but wp7 eats up my calling card before i use it to make calls and i dont know why, when my data packages gets finished, it will turn to my calling card i loaded in my phone and it really sucks. Newer release of android nand from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877777&page=1333 dont do it to me. So i think i will wait for redmond's update on the original wp7 with the copy and paste features and maybe he's reading this post so he can take a look at the issues i had with his new os.

4. Lack of multi-tasking and load time of apps.
[HD2 General] zinty:
Android Nand

Please guys i think android nand rocks, if you doubt it then try this before you vote other os http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877777 .. we should continue to support android nand so developers will keep us updated mostly when honeycomb will be out for phones i think :D
[HD2 General] demaxmeister:
I recently went back to nand android, because my WP7 installation got revoked :( I'm just waiting for a better solution, but in the mean time I'm loving Desire Z on my hd2. Blazing fast!
[HD2 General] Lurittelija:
Stupid question but what is Desire Z on HD2? Have seen ppl write about it but couldn't find a the answer.
[HD2 General] TopOfNewYork:
lol, within the HD2 forum, Desire Z usually refers to HD2 Android Froyo Roms that when cooked up were based on the stock Desire Z phone OS.
[HD2 General] ppsravan:
Well my journey started with Stock Win Mo 6.5.x then to Energy ROM for quite a while.

Tried a lot of Android builds and finally stuck to darkstone's RAM build.

Now have been using WP7 eve since it was released for DFT.

Now to what I liked, I loved the customizability of Android and the app selection. But I felt that I was spending more time customizing android than actually using it.

For the time I've been using WP7, I liked its polish and responsiveness and the amzing Zune player. Also the android versions I've tried are not so good with the audio quality but the WP7 has such a beautiful player and the sound quality rocks.

So that makes WP7 my current daily driver. Doesn't know what future holds out for me :)
[HD2 General] dula6000:
using wp7. no lag at all. supa fast downloads. even skype work.
[HD2 General] spikespencer:
I like the stock WinMo honestly. I only kept it for a couple of days but it is not that bad, I flashed to other ROM's because that is who I am. My wife who is not that technical at all wanted my phone so I flashed her a stable Chucky WinMo which she is still running quite happily and she still does not want a data plan.

I have my messaging blocked to save money and use Google Voice instead so I like occasionally booting into Android on my SD card but it was pretty rare even though I liked showing off to all of my friends running stock Eclair and FroYo that I was running Gingerbread. Certainly it is the best of all Android OS versions. I could not agree with you more though Android is fun for a few minutes then once you have beaten all the levels of Angry Birds it is pretty boring you cannot customize it enough for my taste despite it being supposedly this blank slate open source etc. CHT and WinMo 6.5.x were the way for me to go for months.

Everything moves on though, I picked up the HD7 in the T-Mobile store and played with it and was utterly bored and decided I wanted to keep WinMo 6.5.x. That worked great for a while longer but when WP7 was available to flash to NAND I had to give it a try. I am never switching back though.

I will likely be using WP7 on my phone until a better phone than the HD2 comes out. Especially since the free Google Voice app on the WP7 is better than Android and since the SkyDrive, multiple exchange accounts etc. are what I have been waiting for it is the best OS for me.

~Spike~

WP7 Forever!
[HD2 General] maxidimov:
lol :D Just saw this. Even though I don't have a HD2 I was very interested in the results. :) So far Nandroid eniolates all. xD
[HD2 General] jdep1:
I use Androind NAND runs great. I used wp7 & its great in my opinion its faster,smoother than android & wm but the OS needs further development
[HD2 General] xRedRiot:
I stuck with WM 6.5 for quite a while. I never really had problems with it like alot of people said they did. I even flashed a few different WM roms. I used Android on the SD card so I could see how I liked the OS. The app selection was much better than WM, but I still found myself flipping back and forth between the two. When a Gingerbread NAND rom was released, I replaced WM so I could see if Android was the OS for me. But as soon as WP7 was released by DFT, I jumped on that. It seems like Microsoft has finally gotten the OS up to par with other competing smartphone OS's.

As much as I liked stock Android, the OS looked really plain (I don't like skins because they slow down the entire system). WP7 looked so much better. I flashed that onto my phone, got live services working, and I never looked back. Part of the appeal was coming back to a closed Marketplace. With Android, I had to check up on apps and make sure they weren't malicious. With WP7, I don't have to worry about that because I know that the apps have all been screened before being put in the Marketplace. But the biggest advantage to switching to WP7 is having Microsoft Office Mobile. I just could not find a suitable app on Android that would let me view Office files.

Another aspect I liked is that since WP7 is a new OS, it feels more exclusive. I used to dual boot android because that made my phone unique amongst the sea of phones out there. I don't know anyone with WP7, so in addition to stability, I still have a unique phone.
[HD2 General] c_legaspi:
flashed back to stock 6.5 after trying android and wp7. i use wm 6.5 mainly because i have a prepaid sim in it. i find it the least intensive data use because of the various web browser choice i can use and also i can use tom tom which doesnt require data.

if i need flash, ill boot up android and will use wifi for most of my web browsing.

wp7 is ok but not as flexible and the apps choices arent very good for the apps i use.

Using warren' CM Android build.

My first time doing so.
[HD2 General] puneet_july30:
ATM I am using NAND Android 2.3 MDJ CM7 on my TMo HD2.

But now making up my mind to go back to WM6.5 as there are a few issues I am facing

Robote voice

Poor battery Life

Frequent Hang and Force Close

If anyone could pls help me going back to WM6.5 As after so much of reading I am still not very clear about the exact process to follow.

Thanks

Puneet
[HD2 General] controlpete:
I'm using MDJ's cyanogen mod 7(nand) . It's just brilliant build. Before hd2 I had milestone with cyanogenmod 6 it was nice but MDJ's 7 simply rocks!
[HD2 General] controlpete:
Robovoice -solved

Battery - 2 days min

No hang ups, no reboots
[HD2 General] puneet_july30:
Can you please, insted of just saying solved, guide me to the solution. I have searched but didn't got any discrete solutin to all these problems.
[HD2 General] chvvkumar:
The only surefire way of knowing is to try change the radio. That should fix the robo voice and battery issues. Then, do a fresh install of the ROM of your choice and see if it fixes the FCs.
[HD2 General] Punjabikid:
currently thinking about using a ram android build.
[HD2 General] controlpete:
Ok pal:

1:For "fix" robovoice after 1-st boot before call disable "Audible touch tones"

2: I simply switch off data, when I need I just switch on(when yuo've got cyanogenmod it's very simple : through notification bar or trough power widget)

3: After every flash I do the hard reset it always works for me.

I'm hoping that's helpful.
[HD2 General] laerador:
Well I am using a Android NAND since around 1 1/2 week now.

Before that, I had WinMo6.5 Stock ROM from HD2 ... my problem with using any different ROM were always that i didn't want to brick my phone, as it is the only phone I have right now and that I really need it. But now when I finally opened my eyes and realized how instable WinMo was (for example: randomly, when unplugging my headset from the phone, it would call the last dialed number), I decided to go custom.

And my decision was pretty easy, as I only own a 2GB SD card and wanted to use Android. So I installed the PureGingerbread by iamgpc and everything worked fine - even better than I expected. Right now, I flash basically every second day. ^^
[HD2 General] s_superman:
The NAND androiod is the best invention of 2010

HD2 is the supreme king of all the HTC's out there
[HD2 General] s_superman:
actually

I've just bought the T-Mobile HD2 since 2 weeks

and I've used WinMo for 1 day

and then Android and only Android

and I have tried WP7 for less than a day

but got so furious when I knew about the annoying memory card issues of WP7

then removed and used android
[HD2 General] skunz35:
The more and more I read about how people are having terrible times with WP7 the more it makes me feel lucky cause it is more stable than the nand Android build I had beforehand
[HD2 General] scriller:
same thing I was saying to myself. It is rock solid for me. Better than any Android version I've tried on my hd2. I use the same sdcard that came with my phone so no issues there. Web browsing is the best! Way better than on androids.

My friend saw me using wp7 the other and now he wants it on his hd2. Lol, its a good OS. If the reps in carrier stores stop bleeding people away from it with wrong info then I'm sure there would be a lot more sales.

Sent from my Windows phones 7 hd2
[HD2 General] icecreammm:
Got my HD2 friday and instantly installed WP7 on it.

Went to NAND Android (miui) after WP7 gave me some problems but it may be related to the fact that it kept unlocking in my pocket.

Android MIUI runs great but I missed the smoothness of WP7. After a day I went back to WP7 and turned off the "Allow the camera button to wake up the phone" option, now WP7 is still running rock solid.

I can live with the current shortcommings as I don't use the camera that much and normally don't use copy/paste option. I even haven't activated Live services, but I still can use everything I need and more.
[HD2 General] leroy678:
nand droid 2.3.2 this is the best this phone has ever performed!!!
[HD2 General] scriller:
that's according to you. However, according to me Windows Phone 7 is the best OS this phone has ever had.
[HD2 General] smeddy:
After dabbling but not settling on Android in October, I eventually landed on EVvo's Black & Blue Remix ROM in November, and haven't looked back. This SD ROM has no issues at all and just makes my HD2 sparkle.

I've tried other Android ROMS, NAND ROMs, and yesterday tried WP7 for a full day before deciding it was not as useful, fun, or flexible as Android (yet).

I also tried 6.5 again, but honestly it's got no chance (for me).

I'd go to NAND Android full-time, but I don't want to be fussed formatting my SD Card in a few different ways just yet, and my current ROM is just so perfect I don't see any need, at least not for a few more months. In short, The only reason Im still on SD is just it feels so perfect as it is.
[HD2 General] Archer:
If you're happy with your current ROM then yeah, stay with it, but you don't need to do any special formatting of your SD card for NAND builds. I was jumping from WM to Android SD for a few months, and then Android on NAND and have stuck with it ever since. As long as your card is formatted FAT32 (which they usually are, out of the box) then Android can see it fine.

Stick with what you've got, but don't rule out NAND Android just because of that :)

i would love to test out android & win7, but Garmin was too greedy!!! as far as i know, they don't have apps for android or win7...so for now, winmo6.5 :( unless other members have any suggestions for garmin
[HD2 General] eric12341:
put my vote in for 6.5 even tho i dont own an HD2. Android sucks, fanboys ruined the platform
[HD2 General] myview.ir:
I prefer stock win 6.5, no serious problem with that. anyway pure android is a good thing to have beside that. wp7 is in waiting list :p
[HD2 General] Marvlesz:
lol .. that is half-half correct buddy :D
[HD2 General] dodenhoff:
HD2 with SmartRAM Froyo was the most stable OS on any smartphone yet. Then it went corrupt last week. I guess it's time to apply the fix I saw yesterday. I'm guessing a NAND version is just arounding the corner...maybe T-mobile or HTC could pay Darkstone some $$$ and get this show on the road!
