Android

well now that we have a recovery image on HD2 its just like any other Android phone. I had Nexus One before and now you can just flash roms on hd2 from the recovery just as easy as other android phones.

Im using CoreDroid DHD Rom by sergio76 and its really good rom. First rom I tried on Nand and it works great.
[HD2 General] casey00:
same here i have used alot of different nand Roms so far the best one is good ol vanilla NexusHD2-Froyo V1.9G it is very snappy and for me the best quadrant scores avg with the sense roms are 1000 to 1257 and now I am getting around 1500+ to 1600 i love it:):)
[HD2 General] johnerz:
I used Indie's Win mo roms for a long while and the experience was a good one, fast stable, good looking with a long battery life, 48 plus hours on average with medium use.

I've gone to Droid nand and like it, Sergio 76 has produced some nice work with the Core droid hd roms, the rom is stable enough for daily use call quality is great, web fast. The only downside is lower battery life, but hey, he's working on it and it's getting better with every update. Currently its about 24 hours :D

Android NAND, Typhoon 2.3.3 Gingerbread build.

Had Winmo 6.5 for 6 months since i bought the phone. Tried the Android SD builds when they were young, but they had too many problems. This month i started playing with the SD builds again, and didnt have any trouble. I liked the windows os but it didnt seem to have near as much 3rd party support as Android, so i wanted to switch. Flashed the Typhoon NAND build and its been flawless since then.

Hyperdroid

I USED TO LOVE CORE/DROID ON MY SD WITH WINDOWS 7 BUT ONCE i TRIED THE HYPERDROID v9.....i WAS HOOKED ON NAND.......FAST AND SMOOTH....PLUS IT MAKES LOVE TO MY BATTERY 12 HOURS OF STEADY USE AND @40% WITH STANDARD BATTERY.......
[HD2 General] SalvoIX:
I use both stock and custom WM Roms!

In my opinion WM is a good OS for daily use!
[HD2 General] Strat87:
I did for the first year until I got to play with a new droid X and became jealous. A Short while later (month or two) I got a chance to play with an older Desire Android NAND build and became really excited. While I am still very new to this scene, I spent some time reading and took the plunge. After trying out a few ROM's I am currently running NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.6 Android OS and love it. I too can not play games to much anymore and prefer the everyday Android features to WM's. I just appreciate the hell out of the people who contribute to this site. Thanks!
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I just switched to the NexuesHD2-Gengerbread V2.6 last night and it is smooth and I really like the larger icons. But I think I will go back to HYPERDROID GBX as it I am experiencing momementary data drops, and it has no overclocking built inas well as several other things. But overall the ROM is really great I just like all the extras of Hyperdroid.

I will be going back to swing Mo NRG ROM soon though especially scenes I busted my laptop screen this morning and I need more of a mobile comuputer and not a cool phone lol.
[HD2 General] raven_raven:
Generally Android. I like capabilities of this OS and tons of apps available for it. Saying "there's an app for this" is more and more true for Android. Core OS isn't very capable, but with extensions from Android Market... there is no limit to what HD2 with Android can do. And not to mention that OS by Google is far more modern than WM.

But from time to time I like to flash Artemis ROM (or Energy or stock) to play with it a little. It's great OS with the greatest interface ever (HTC Sense for Windows Mobile) and it's very, very useful and pleasant to use like a phone. Browsing is OK, Office is great, calling and messaging features are even greater than on Android phone. WM is a great tool. But... compared to Android, everything that goes beyond that is really poor. No multimedia or entertainment AT ALL.

Tried Windows Phone 7 few times, but it was freezing too much. Maybe something related to my SD Card, when I get a new one I'll see if it's it.
[HD2 General] Tachi91:
once NoDo gets released i might switch back to WP7 but for now ill stick with my gingerbread sense hd2
[HD2 General] kolyan:
Nice data.....over 60% run Android on HD2...That shows something !

ps. I am running Android Sense

[HD2 General] kushXmaster:
I've been using android as my dailu driver. I feel like web browsing and general use is easier than winmo.

Although, I do miss how nice winmo looks. It also handles media playback and document processing (I.e. word) a lot better so I still use it for that.

But for everything else its android

Currently running AmeriCan Android CM7.1 GB2.3.4 r0711

And seriously, I love it. Every second of it. Very fluid and smooth.
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Yeh most users priority is multimedia & games.

For messaging, handling office docs WM wins hands down.

Also on looks, customising & quick access to basic phone & messaging tasks WM wins hands down (based on custom ROM such as NRG).
[HD2 General] MIKEYMCC:
Have been using sense roms, but they are a bit too sluggish now. So now I'm running typhoons cynogenmod. So fast and smooth and has some great little features.
[HD2 General] antaed:
wp7 is my choice already, even if mango is not fully available yet.

i still need android for my navigation software and flash player, so i prefer non sense gingerbread builds.

wm6.5 was my favorite for a very long time and still holds some strong points but it was left behind by ms and we need to go on...
[HD2 General] GregoRA0:
I used winmo stock for the almost one year...

But I didn't feel that I had a smartphone.

I had problems with finding necessary programs eg. good pdf reader (Acrobat isn't good for me...), games etc.

Then I started testing Android SD, and I find out that this is what I always wanted :-)

After one week testing, I flashed Android NAND and I now feel wind in my wings ;-)
[HD2 General] Jack2010:
Prefer latest Android OS

I prefer any Android version above 2.3, at the moment 2.3.5 Mod version CyanogenMod-7 NightlyDesireTyphoon_v3.5.7-MAGLDR on my HD2.

Used to have win mobile 6.5 and tried it a few weeks back again. But it looked so bad compared with Android that put the Android system back again. I know for sure that I wiped the phone clean (the NAND), but much to my surprise all my programs came back WITH the new Android version....

What else then pleased can I be with this system and thanks to the XDA Developers didn't need to throw away a very good phone!
[HD2 General] prince9399:
lol NAND FTW!!
[HD2 General] Z80-Man:
You said all had to be said, the way it had to be said. :)

Other OSes definitely are for other uses, at least at the moment.

So your daily OS actually depends on what you're using your HD2 for. :)

Android NAND NDT miui v.26 for now... Waiting WWe sense 3.5 v.1.2...

[HD2 General] alex.kerimoff:
Android NAND.

Love Sense ROM's! Using RCMix3D Runny v5.1 by sbryan12144 for 3 weeks - best rom for the moment (for me)!
[HD2 General] icecreammm:
Since January 2011 I used WP7 for some months. I loved the smoothness but missed some features/software and there still where some driver related bugs.

Then I used a Android NAND MIUI rom for some months. Fairly smooth experience, some nice Android modifications, but always seemed to have bugs.

After that I used a Android NAND Sense 3.5 (sbryan12144's RCMix3D Runny) rom for 2 months. Many features, but not always a smooth experience. I liked it because I experienced no bugs.

I hesitated a lot (because of my bugfree experience), but since tuesday I'm back to WP7.5 and enjoying the smooth experience again + some extra features + fixed touchscreen driver + fixed camera. Only missing some good GPS software.
[HD2 General] taufan36:
Im using android nand sensation xl stock sense 3.5 at the moment. Fyi, im a flasholic...
[HD2 General] Shoujin:
Android SD works great for me. Although NAND is looking like the way to go.
[HD2 General] Getrid:
It took me over a year messing around with the stock ROM. After switching to Artemis ROM my wifi problems at the university finally came to an end. Felt no need to switch to another OS since then, although I always wanted to test other OS - but I got no time, no time.

I really like to explore if Android is capable of uses I have in mind for my daily productivity tasks. In a few weeks I'll have time to test a SD-card version. But I'm not sure if this is possible together with my custom ROM. I'll just have to read a little bit more in the forum.

Ciao

[HD2 General] FCORivers:
Really?

I am on sundawg's cm7 build, very very nice and stable. Although it's been quiet there for a long time.
[HD2 General] Imperator Nick:
Using darkstones Froyo RAM SD build.

I don't really want to go any deeper into the phone and change things too much with NAND
[HD2 General] hammered09:
WM7 for me, have been using it since Sat. Love the speed and the look it's gotta be the fastest ROM I've used, certainly a hellova lot faster than NANdroid (sorry guys). I know there's a few teething probs (and I've lost Copilot for the moment). But it'll all be sorted soon... What a fantastic phone we all own... :D
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
+1 On this..........
[HD2 General] orb3000:
Oh I see!

Yeah you are right

Thanks:)

You must respect to all members who decide to stay with stock
[HD2 General] perfectknight75:
im currently on stock update of 6.5 but next week i am going to take the plunge and go for Nand so my vote would then go for nand!
[HD2 General] Abdul9.:
The main reason i'm now using wp7 is cos of the Keyboard, i love it. Its better than all the keyboards i have ever used or tested and thats why i dont want to flash another rom on my hd2 even though i know that wp7 needs lots of adjustments.
[HD2 General] nznewb:
I've been using WP7 since its release. I've found my phone to be more reliable; I was previously using a NANDroid ROM. Battery life and general performance has been great. I can't see myself going to a different OS anytime soon. Soooo happy!
[HD2 General] aenedor:
I am dual booting WP7 and Desire Z, but spend most time in WP7.
[HD2 General] Hustensaft:
I have changed my device.

Now i use a real android phone - Motorola Droid 2 (Milestone 2 is the name in germany).

I love android and the milestone with the hardware keyboard. :)

I admin my homeserver with ssh from the phone and controlled my windows 7 PC remote with teamviewer.
[HD2 General] daleandla:
First of all. I freaking love my HD2. This is the best phone out there hands down! I was a loyal windows 6.5 & 6.5.3 flasher for the longest time. Then I tried Android and never looked back to Windows again. Started on the SD builds tight away and was stoked to see the Nand builds. Some are just perfect. I love Android over ANY OS out there. BUT, because I like to try the latest to see if it could be the greatest, I am currently giving W7 a shot. Been running running it fully functional for about 4 days. Its cool, bit I miss the options to do basically anything I want with Android. I'll run this a while, but pretty sure it hasn't stole my heart from Android. :D

Rock On.
[HD2 General] grafikastudios:
just on wp7, it is amazinly fast and reliable, i only have trouble with my 3gset it up , but games, social apps, facebook integration, xbox live, zune is great made me forget android ....
[HD2 General] Gary.M:
McMoons froyostone 4.0 Desire based sd build w Hastarin 8.6. It's fast, stable, and has low battery drain. Have stayed away from nand as it looks like it needs a lot more development yet.

[HD2 General] bigmikehd2:
Wow

Man, I knew Android was popular for the HD2 but more than 50%!! That is crazy. I hope someone from HTC is seeing this and I hope they never ruin another great device with such a boring os!
[HD2 General] Silberpfeil3110:
HD2 is the best phone I've ever had. And I love it. And now I'm using Android, because it's the best OS out there. Open-Source is very important for me, because open-source means more customizable. I change what I want and how I like it. I use a NAND build from Android on my Leo512 and there are no problems. Everything is working fine and although many people cry because they have no internal memory free... I have 120 from 250MB internal memory free, although I have sooo much programs installed... It's perfect, it's more than perfect > It's love!
[HD2 General] Mydde:
i had my hd2 from the first time, coming from the strangeness if winmo ( cruise, diamond). While waiting for wp7 update, flashing and flashing again, i was ready to stay on android ram ( angry birds ? ).

wp7 made me forget android ... in one second: it feel so different, and xap are cool like cab was.

For sure, things are missing ( copy/paste,real gps software), but the os is good, and xda is great !:)

I bought an HD2 in hope that someday WP7 will be ported into it. So I went from stock ROM to Android SD (MDJ Evo Build), to Android NAND (DFT Desire Clean) and now WP7 (DFT).
[HD2 General] songokussm:
Sums it up.

MDJ's Cyanogen NAND allows me to do everything I can think of.

The only downside is all high end games lag, a lot.

WP7-

I like the interface. I love the games. That's were it ends. You can't even track a package from your email adress or send any mms message (besides pictures). The os is half done at best.
[HD2 General] QuRa:
amazing results
[HD2 General] cmcmyers:
ANDROID NAND ROMS = HD2 on STEROIDS!!! ;-)

I'm defintely sticking to the ANDROID NAND Builds!! Specially the MDJ's & CMYLXGO's Versions... :D

Will test Windows 7 when the platform gets a lil more mature...

Use to run Windows Mobile 6.5 (stock with official updates) before...
[HD2 General] imfloflo:
I'll stay with Android NAND CM7 right now until i can backup easyly and switch between roms and WP7 to test without loosing all my android rom configuration. waiting MAGLDR 1.13
[HD2 General] jonny68:
Android NAND and sticking with it as well.
[HD2 General] MTN_HD2:
i can't believe someone who's bought a smart phone would go after something that idiotic . to be clear i'm talking about wph7

they should've bought an iPhone in the first place .

i'm not gonna try it until devs cook it to support every single thing ms has deleted from wm6.5 (i.e. never)
[HD2 General] DutchDanny:
Working on NAND sinds 30 December, tested a lot of the roms.

Now I got the best rom till now.

Been working on WinMo for a few years now, and 3 HTC devices.

Always been a happy user of the "Energy" roms by NRGZ28.

But now we have Android, and no this is not just for Kids as some may think. It gives you more freedom then WinMo, and even more Freedom then Iphone..with his square blocks :p

I want to be able to make my phone my self, and Android gives you that.

SD RAM versions where very good, but they take the battery away. Thats why im so happy with the NAND roms

Keep up the good work ANDREWF403 with the DESIRE HD ROM
[HD2 General] nkhs9412235:
Android NAND

The version is Android 2.3
[HD2 General] dizzyvampire:
I've been testing and use all of it on daily basis as they came up-front. Now I am using WP7 on daily basis but looking for improvements on it ...:p The best until now is Android NAND, still WP7 looks very promising in my opinion. If MS will understand that the key, is to give free access to developers, I count on a boost since, in my opinion, WP7 has the needed "magic" :D
[HD2 General] 05081983:
Windows Phone 7, as its fast and smooth and it also has Netflix working on it
[HD2 General] Sir Schwanzelot:
i'm currently using WP7 for 4 days now.

there are things i just love but there also things i just hate (the phone buttons for example, i have to press on the screen to end a call, could have bought an iphone for that... it gets me angry every time: i press the call end button on hd2, but in wp7 it locks the screen, so now i have to unlock the device and press the buttong end call and in the meantime the guy on the other end is not sure what to do. i know it's completely my fault but i will never get over that)

maybe it's because i don't have the live service, who knows.

right now i#m considering if i should buy the hd7 but i'm not completely shure yet!
[HD2 General] Sonicrida:
I've been using Nandroid Cyanogen mod 2.3 on my HD2 and I love it. I liked the Ram build I tried but I always had issues with any sort of sd builds. This one runs perfectly. I had WP7 and the UI was nice and all and it was really smooth. I didn't wanna bother with the activation method just yet. I'm waiting a bit. As for the features of the OS, I kinda like the UI of android better and a lot of apps I use are only on android. I might go back just because I want the 720p video but android is still and always will be the best! Somebody get me iOS now :P
[HD2 General] hippo2s:
From reading the messages it appears there are lots of non-HD2 users posting messages, i hope they're not voting and skewing the results!

Personally i'm on CM7 off NAND, loving Gingerbread and new keyboard, centralized mailbox and the general interface.

Having tried WP7 on a WP7 phone and all that text menu, interface and side-scrolling got very confusing. Might give it a go once i'm over Nandroid 2.3, but i doubt it'll be a good exp.
[HD2 General] graememk:
Running Froyo (NAND) on mine, the gingerbread rom the GPS didnt play nice with the navigation Program i had, so went back to 2.2, Had always stuck with win mo but dabbled with the sd card.

Its currently my second phone atm (i live very close to the border to NI so i have a UK and Eire sims) and my Eire phone is a samsung omnia 7, I would have put wp7 on the hd2 but no point having 2 phones the same when i could run different os's on the phone.

Loving Android but loving WP7 more
[HD2 General] onslaught86:
Hmm, let's see here, my flashing history:

- I have a TMOUS HD2, and actually kept the stock ROM for a wee while. Surprisingly enough, the stock ROMs are not all that bad, just a little bloated. Ended up switching to a custom ROM that was just stock with all the bloatware removed, and customising the hell out of it. Then I flashed Dutty's builds and didn't stray far after that.

- Used Android SD builds from the day they were released as bootable, although not initially as a daily driver. They increased in stability until everything I needed worked, and my preference was for MIUI builds, since I love the added features of that UI. Unfortunately, despite it being oh-so-pretty, there's still no Bluetooth headset controls last I checked. That's pretty important to me, so I'm waiting until it's fixed to switch back to MIUI. Tried absolutely every different type of build out to get the feel of them all.

- NAND builds I've been using since release, the increase in speed and reliability has made it a must. Since I'm no longer rocking MIUI, my preference was for CM6, although I've since switched to CM7. MDJ's builds get the win there.

- Have been eagerly anticipating WP7, but the lackluster specs on the HD7 and the teething troubles with the Lightning put me off purchasing a new device. So when the functioning port was released, I jumped on it instantly. Love it through and through, MS have made a sleek, minimalist OS that functions well and looks good while doing it. Sadly, it's still a first release, and the overall experience isn't quite complete - multitasking, copy/paste, flash support, a better browsing experience, and integrated Twitter are the main issues that spring to mind. Not to mention that the developer community here at XDA is just finding its feet. I switched back to. Android last night because I'm going on holiday and need the superior nav. software, but I'd love to go back to it after that first Feb update. I think WP7 has a great niche for itself in-between iOS and Android, and I hope it flourishes.

So, NAND Android is my daily driver, but I look forward to that changing again.
[HD2 General] nickkyboy36:
The keyboard on WP7 is absolutely amazing. the speed in which i can type at!!!

Im using WP7 because i have a SGS (which i love) and it's nice to have variety:cool:
[HD2 General] michd2:
Looks like its very clear: Android is the best there is! I'm running android 2.3 Gingerbread from NAND and it is MUCH better than WM6.5! Its very smooth, fast and reliable, only issue is batteryconsumption (which is bad on wm6.5 but slightly worse on Android.
[HD2 General] xredshark:
I expected an software for nav, tethering WiFi, auto profile (cell ID, calendar...) and change with wp7. For now I use Android on Nand.

I like too Zune!
[HD2 General] wazmo:
I've been using Android NAND with the DFT build. May switch to CM7 as I'm not too happy with the voice dialing options I've run across-but everything else seems pretty decent so far.

I think that there sare so mnay options for HTC phones speaks volumes for the hardware HTG rolls out. When a friend of mine went Samsung I gave him a warning based on what they did to their first Android sets on T-Mobile.

I also have a N900 and while that was my daily driver for a while I went back to the HD2 once the bugs got worked out.
[HD2 General] fflakes:
Started with stock 6.5 using cookie. Tried android a few months ago and have been my primary os. Using sd/ram combo recently, no issues whatsoever. Don't see the need for nand and still have option for win mo once in a while. However, I may flash windows 7 once it's fully functional for 2nd gen dual boot. Sweeeeet!
[HD2 General] andromede:
I love Win 7 and i won't change it ...
[HD2 General] manish2039:
thanks devs :)

Stock Windows Mobile 6.5.x = had too many problems with stock roms so I hated it cause my friend kept showing off android from his phone

Custom Windows Mobile 6.5.x = improvement from the stock roms yet it still sucked

Android SD/RAM = both the RAM & SD gave me hope not to change HTC HD 2 :)

Android NAND = and the hope rose more as I'm currently using the NAND version :cool:

Windows Phone 7 = didn’t like the way Microsoft displayed it, yet gave it a go and guess what I LOVED IT :eek:, but had to return to android as it had some issue, but when fixed imp hoping to move back to WP7 :cool:

Ubuntu = won’t try

MeeGo = might try

Thanks devs for all the hard work put on to this device, if it wasn’t for you guys I would have sold my HTC HD 2 (Leo) looooooooooong time a go :(

Now I can show off to my friend telling him my phone can run Android and WM both at the same time ... and who knows some day Iphone OS ;)

Thanks DEVS :)
