What is the best ROM to run for the HD2 when running Android as the prime OS? Thread link on this forum would be great.
Secondly - What is the recommended Android release to run on the HD2 from the Gamesquare.co.uk site? I'm looking specifically for input from users that have tested stability, speed and other obvious functionality for a decent length of time.

I currently have...
HTC HD2 using..
OS version 5.2.21916
Manila version 2.5.20191914.0
ROM version Dutty's HD2 family ROM (V7) WWE
ROM date 15/11/2010
Radio version 15.42.50.11U
and I'm reasonably happy - everything works.
Thing is - I keep thinking I should install one of the latest ROMs.
Question is - what have I got to gain??
Should I or shouldn't I?
What do you experts think?
Thanks in advance
Ian
PS I know this is a "how long is a piece of string question" but I think your responses may help me decide.

Use this one. It will fulfill your wildest dreams on your HTC-HD2. It's the best in my opinion
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860
Stick with it if it all works fine for you.
I am sticking with WM6.5.3 NRG 23699 as works flawless for me & Android is not the best platform for everything & the UI is an ugly muddle compared to the customised perfection you can have with WM6.5
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Chasing latest ROMs & OS's can be fun but usually has issues that may not be acceptable pending on user device function requirements.
Although not been using my HD2 for the last two months after getting the Galaxy Note, however on my HD2 I have been using the very light ROM called CLEANEX RV for the last one year or so,and should say was very satisfied, very stable and fast never hung on me even foronce, one advantage is that it starts with over 280 Mb of free internal space, the only thing that I have done is to install couple of missing apps like the Market.
Its interesting that after using my GNote for two months now I can say that the only advantage it has over the HD2 are the applications graphical quality their abundance and screen size,believe me or not but I had applications on my HD2 which are more efficient than Android or IOS.!!
Sorry for straying away from the subject but I think that its pity that Microsoft has abandoned such a great and mature OS dumping millions of loyal WM users in the result.

Hi
I'm a software developer but I'm new to smartphones and Android. I'm thinking of buying a Touch Pro 2 because of its nice keyboard, good resolution and cheap price etc. As far as I can see it's going to do everything I want with Windows Mobile 6.5 but I'm thinking of trying out Android on it just to see what Android is like.
Is it possible for the TP2 to run the latest Android 4.x release or is it limited to the Android 2.3 Gingerbread series?
Does Android 2.3 have any significant advantages or disadvantages over using WM6.5 and the pre-installed Touch Pro 2 software from HTC?
Do smartphones have a "standardised" bios just like a desktop PC, allowing Android to run on any hardware?
TIA

It may be possible, but no one has built a 4.x rom for the TP2.
I think that the software options are much better for the Android 2.3. Bluetooth has issues compared to WM. Would love to find a dev to work with to improve it.
Android is very modular driven. You have to change out the drivers, and kernel type based upon the CPU. It ports between similar hardware somewhat easily. From a dev standpoint it is not really fair to compare phones to PCs in my book.
For $50-$70 you can get a decent used one on Ebay.
*Edit*
Seems I forgot about this project for ICS. Unfortunately it looks like it has been abandoned.
Hello All,
Did ask this question in the main thread, however it might have been ignored, due to the heavy influx of posts. So I am using a custom ROM rootbox stable 4.0 on my SGS-II. Just wanted to ask that I maybe planning to buy the following type of bluetooth tags, once they become stable enough for main stream use.
1. http://www.sticknfind.com/
2. http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/button-trackr-find-lost-items/x/2060164?c=home
According to the information gathered these devices require "Bluetooth Low Energy" (BLE) enabled cellphones and the required software implementation profile to work on. Apparently in the Android domain only Samsung is providing it in S3, S4 and Note 2 only in stock ROM.
Just wanted to ask that does RootBox or any other leading custom ROMs supports this BLE profile, and if not at the moment, is there any plan to include it in the stable upcoming releases.
Thanks for the responses. Great work all the AOKP, Cyanogen, Paranoid, MIUI Developers.

I am in the same boat as you. Need it to see my Casio GB-6900 Smart Watch which runs on LE. I have tried all nighly builds from haashcode and the rest of the soup. Not one has support for BLE. I hope they think of supporting this in their future release.
What is the best, most stable rom for the S4. I prefer the stock android feel. I use my phone for work so battery life and stability are important. Thanks.
Best is a term only determined by the individual user and based on needs and personality.
Sorry, users are expected to make this call on their own.

Seems obsoletism is occurring faster & faster.
upon release Feb 14 I upgraded to the galaxy s 5, now regret that move, at&t won't allow custom Rom! It's been getting glitchy, no clean up?! That's why I bought the dam thing... So last week I said f it. I bought the flagship iPhone, 6s plus 64... And again I'm regretting it's typical non functionality . Dam! oh well at least I look cool, right?. I hate the bloat of the quickly outdated Androids, they need to be replaced sooner & sooner.
Anyone tell me if custom Rom Is the way to go, on which device? I'm thinking about ditching my new iPhone 6s plus, but just learned that the nexus 6p has a fuse denying custom Rom to be ran. ? boo!
Another quick question, is there a particular forum that I might be interested in reading?
What does this have to do with the custom ROM called Paranoid Android?

I've been reading up once again, so paranoid android is custom Rom? Is it meant for any particular device, or anything goes? (Ask except for the galaxy s5 on the at&t network I presume)
Who is using paranoid android on which device and which is it working the best?
Oh, to clarify, I'm looking for a new & best device so far that I can use I the at&t network. I'm now on this new iPhone and I'm having a hard time navigating to find some good reads on relevant information. Which is the best device? And what is paranoid droid, open source for a community of developers?

Paranoid Android officially only supports nexus devices.
A custom ROM has to be developed specifically for a device, there isn't a universal ROM that you can download to just any device. You need a build made specifically for your device.
If you want advice about a particular device, you need to go to that devices forum section.
If you want advice about general Android usage, visit the general Android forum section.
This forum section is dedicated to the Paranoid Android project.

XDA has how many users across how many forum sections?
I have no idea what's out there. Nonetheless, this discussion doesn't belong in this forum section.
