I know that many of these questions are already answered but i couldn't understand how to do it so here it goes.
I know how to install custom roms/radios/mods etc on HD2 but only on WinMO.
I saw on a friends HD2 android software and i really loved it.
I have a custom rom on my hd2 (omega v14.4/radio 2.10.50.28_2) and i need your help to install ANDROID on it.
Is there a dual bootloader or a specific procedure to run android?
I have to format the phone and install only android on it or there are both on the phone?
Which is the best ROM so far for it?
Battery consumption/signal/gps etc remain functionable like in WinMO?
Thanks for your help! Waiting for your answers!
read the posts and you will find your answers, installing android is simple enough just copy over the android folder to the sd card, all this is covered in the stickies and many other posts in the android area
Thanks for the reply.
You know... it's my first time and i dont want to brick my phone
Could you point out to me a good stable rom? Are the android roms for everyday use or still in pure development?
Thanks. I managed to do it. A few things dont work though but it's very nice and fast!

Ok guys so ive just bought a uk orange branded hero, and i dont have a clue about android or linux for that matter, so i hope you guys could answer a few questions for me, ive looked at the stickys in the android development section, and now im more confused than before lol
1) What is rooting? and what is the process ment to achieve?
2) like i said i have a uk orange branded hero, now what is the process i need to do before i can start flashing roms? it seems a little more complicated that just flashing hspl like am used to lol
root is the system administrator of a unix system. you might wanna google that if you don't know what it is.
depending on your fastboot version you need to flash the custom recovery image, from there on it is a piece of cake. if you don't need to downgrade your system then flashing the custom recovery is also a piece of cake.

My intention is to give balanced advice to all those who intend to modify their new Android.
Ask yourselves, what do you intend to do with root access, if you want your phone to do all simple tasks, no need to root. I would say get familiar with new OS before deciding "Root Way."

Rooting is the process of gaining full system access to your device. This has pros and cons (you can modify anything and really tweak the guts of your system...but you can also truely fubar the whole thing a lot easier too). If you don't have a need to root, I generally advise against it.
Flashing custom ROMs are an unsupported method of customization...but it, like rooting, has some potential gains. Some ROMS give more speed, some ROMs include more features that you may or may not want. Flashing ROMs are the reasons most people root (as to flash the ROM, you need root access)
Thanx for all your help guys, i read all that info and spent the last 2 days learning lol 2day i sucsessfully downgraded my rom, routed and flashed modaco 2.9
Goodlad!
Excellent. Now please tell our forum members which road you drove to get to root, so that someone with same enthusiam can also do same. You dont have to write whole page, just majot points and references or links.
Thanks.
Hello XDA,
I am currently debating on buying the SH-12C for my gf. One of the major things holding me back from buying it would be lack of custom roms, root-ability, and support.
Does anyone know of any forums or websites that provide these services?
I searched XDA and Googled "SH-12C custom roms" but I had no luck.
Thanks,

as you maybe know there was an update for the sh-12c and we already have that firmware-files in this forum !
the only bad thing is , its coded in .enc format and i posted a way how it could probably work to unpack/decode the files >>here<<.
so if this contains a whole firmware ,maybe we would be able to make lots of modifications,custom roms and the most important thing ...ROOT!!!
but it seems there are not much people here who want to do the first step or something for their "root"
iam tryin things on and on , every day ,,,my skills are also limited ..hmm
some ppl from asian forums will solve that first i think ...

Anyways thanks for the info. I'll subscribe to that thread and I'll see if I can learn new things to contribute.
Thanks again,

Hi there,
I get my Flyer the next days and therefore I have questions ;D ... Hope you can help me ....
1. Can I make a backup BEFORE rooting etc. ? So if something goes wrong while installing ROM or rooting or S-OFF, that I can restore to default Basic ROM ?
2. Where can I get my basic HTC Flyer Sense 2.3.3 ROM ? Can I use the backup ?
3. What is the best Honeycomb ROM out there ? FlyHigh is nice but I tried with Honeycomb and I like it (maybe I change to FlyHigh later if too buggy)
4. Noob Guide =D ? I want the safest way .... Meaning, going into Bootloader -> etc. etc. etc .... hope you can help me with that
You are posting some of the same/similar questions to different places, both here, and to another thread you started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17801480
Its counter-productive and confusing to cross-post. Are people supposed to reply here, or the other thread? I've already answered some of your questions on the other thread.
Hello and first of all I am completely new at this so any help would be great. I plan on releasing a ROM if I can get the hang of this so please don't complain that I'm just a noob trying to do something he can't.
Second this is my first time in development for Android and I have been experimenting with the SDK but I was wanting to know some questions first.
One is that how to I get the x10 specific add-on for the SDK since Sony Ericsson is gone the page that used to have it is now gone. Second is there any special things to compile the rom?
Sorry for the very noob sounding questions but I am completely new, my main reason for this is a learning thing. I want to learn for college and other reasons and I decided to make my project developing for the x10.
Thanks for help in advance.
go to chef central...
over there u can find a lot of cheff...
or search for "APKTOOL" and "android kitchen"
tool for decompile and more
Thanks, I'm searching the internet furiously for documents and other information, my first goal is to simply compile a stock android rom and get it working once I figure that out I'll work on learning to how make custom roms.
hey guys, I have learnt how to use Kitchen and got a successful rom! It is just another build of the default SE rom but it means it works.
My only question here is now do I get the system from stock android and replace the SE ones with it? I don't want to start removing things in case it doesn't work.
First of all, Hi guys nice to meet you all.
I'm new to this forum so i need help to find some answer. Forgive me too be a such annoying noobie :angel:
Well short story, I just bought a nbew phone HTC radar. As i'm expected of course i'ts a locked WP7
I've already find thread related to unlock the phone OS. SPL HSPL and how to install custom rom
The problem is, i found this on my bootloader screen :
PI06100
SPL-4.6, 175006.2 (140733)
eMMC SMS 7376MB, FA31
TOUCH A1 (F:80,ID:10,V20,B:AA)
Radio-17.5006.08.27
As far as i learn from various thread, i have to downgrade my SPL become 2.05/2.5
I have already tried gold card trick and have no luck, and as far as i'm concern it no use for SPL 4.X
Now, long story short i know that my SPL shpuld be downgrade, and probably to lower Shipped rom version such as 1.07 or 1.08 and then i use goldcard tricks and hope it will work. Finger cross at least i want to try it first.
Could any one of you give me ay solution of this problem? Or at least point me to a link that contain tutorial to FLASH STOCK ROM i want to try if maybe possible to downgrade to STOCK ROM with lower SPL.
Any kind of help and solution i aprciated much.
And once again i'm really sorry for my noob question. I'm totally new to WP7. Usually i play at android section, this is my first WP7 phone, and i'm not really familiar with all the terminology.
ok guys, thanks for spaend your time read my quetion. Thank in advance for any kind of answer.
Regards
I really have no experience with this, but here are some ideas.
Here you will find a rom
