It was very very diaspointing for me too when i first bought my Hd2. I had to reemove battery at least once a day. I had to restart all the time. Booting was taking a long time. Battery life was so poor. It was very laggy almost everytime.
All of this were until i started using minimalistic custom ROMs. Now everything is much more stable and reliable. So i dont complain anymore. Just do the HSPL and install a light weight ROM + latest radio. I also recommend MIUI Android builds.
When i tried to install a Custom Rom my HSPL version was 2.10 which wasnt support and it said "bad id model" . but if you could assist me in doing it correctly i would appreciate it

dang.. too bad i didn't saw your message earlier
is the problem the same after flashing? If so... check out your sd card... HD2 likes to come up with "buggy" ones. and thats a pretty common thing. And it was same for me as well Yeah i know its a funny thing but IF your phone is SLOW... then just take off your SD... and i bet it will be ultra-fast once again. Anyways you can buy a new one right? like i did

Right now I'm running the stock Sprint ROM. All I really want to change (man I'm getting boring in my old age!) is the TouchFlo version. I reallllly want the calendar tab on the main screen.
Do I have to flash my entire ROM to get that or can you just upgrade/install over the old TouchFlo? I search the forums here with a variety of key words but everything I found pointed back to ROMs of some sort.
Thanks for the help guys!

You can probably upgrade to a later version of TF3D, but truth be told... it would me much simpler to flash since there is a slew of things that need to be done to get the extra tabs and such. Besides, flashing to something like the NRG roms will boost your TP's performance... a lot!
Do you have any suggestions?
I actually just gave my Touch Pro to my wife... so while *I* have a huge tolerance after years and years of flashing ROMs and tweaking phones for the hiccups that come with such matters, I don't want to put her in a position of having to trouble shoot her phone without me or it crashing on her.
She's all about juicing up her phone with a new ROM but I don't want it to be horrible experience for her.
I was looking, earlier today, at NFSFAN's rom. It seems to be very well received although it looked like people were having trouble with the push-based syncing (which would be a deal breaker since her phone syncs to Google)

NFS is usually good... I would try that as well as NRG, Mighty, Vevitto, and probably Juicy. Hope that helps...

How to upgrade it? ive installed the Stock ROM on my TP(GSM) from site sunnysoft.com/htc/ and its kinda flawless and very very fast. I dont wanna change the ROM but i could use the calendar tab from sense 2.1 cos i find it very handy.. is there a way to add it to my tf3d ?
I tried to install sense 2.1 from cabs on this ROM but had the problem updating weather so i dropped it, besides that the ROM wasnt working so smoothly anymore.

Stuff for Sense/TF3D tend to write and drop a bunch of files under the Windows directory, which (under most cases) will slow down your device. So, getting it pre-cooked is always better as it is cleaner than the installation.
Oke Guys,
This question has been asked for a million times i guess. But the search option on this forum is killing me, i never get to the thread i want to
So this is the story, i have my (Dutch) HTC HD2, standard ROM, Standard 2.5 sense.
Only things i changed are the icons, CHT and other basic stuff...
Now, i want to try Android on my phone, is that possible without ROM Updating my system (That will affect my Windows Mobile Install)
And how do i get the whole android thing installed on my phone?
Well, hope someone can help a dork and nutnut like me

in short the answer would be no.
There are many factors that enable android to run on an hd2,mostly rom & radios for which you'd need to hspl3 your phone. By upgrading your rom you wouldn't be loosing your windows mobile-if anything gaining more from a phone that is somewhat redundant without tweaking or upgrading. After all once you've got a custom rom you'll love it all the more & now with an android port the best of both world's. The best thing I did to my phone after having. It a couple of weeks was flashing over a radio & rom. Take the plunge & you'll see the vastness that this phone has
Last I checked ROM has nothing to do with it. Radio yes, depending on the radio version you have it might need to be changed. Android runs from the SD card and shuts down windows when it starts so what would the ROM have to do with anything.

A lot of it is rom depending as I've only seem a handful of people who have it working on stock. To the op try it & report findings on here to give others the benefit
best bet would be to follow the installation guides.
I was in the same dilemma... Afraid to harm my precious HD2... I started with adding android to SD using the stock tmous rom and it was great until I had to make a call or received a call then it was all bad... I dealt with that for a month until I took the plunge and downloaded chuckys rom... totally worth it... most bugs fixed... sod here and there, but overall it's worth it!!!

It would be better to test it yourself, then you can decide which one is suitable for you
For me, LIA rom is my favorite but the development was halted
Energy and Elegancia are my favorite now
Cheers...
I gotcha yeah i was just trying to figure out which one has gotten rid of all the stupid "Stock apps" that it comes with. haha the last phone i modified was the old tmobile shadow... but i was looking at the energy and it seems pretty good to. which one seems to be the most stable?

Any of the Energy ROMs are stable and smooth and has all that stuff you were talking about out of them. I have tried three of them myself. I have not tried the Elegancia ROMs yet, might be my next tested ROM though.
Ok cool thanks the energy one will probably be my first ROM then
Energy are good, the older 23699 is my favourite as sense version seems very stable & 23699 is more compliant to older apps in terms of page scrolling.
Any of the Energy ROMs should be a good, my HD2 is close to perfect thanks to Energy & XDA
Hi!
Dutty's ROMs and Miri's ROMs are also well. At those ROMS the stock philosophy is required so you got a clean and very-very similar result as at Stock ROM only difference is that any annoying issues are gone
Cheers!
I second Dutty's ROM. Running V21 WWE atm. Smooth and fast.
alright cool ill have to check those out thanks for the heads up!
Right now I'm using Artemis v57.
Very fast and stable
Hi,
Good day to everyone.
Could you help out with a unit I bought which is a S2 SHW-M250K? I'm a residence in the Philippines but unfortunately the device is limited in certain features. Like creating a SMS is limited to 90 characters and thus prompts MMS not available. Upon the call feature, is always goes to autoroaming. Its really annoying and a hassle for me.
Is there a way I could totally reformat the whole system and install a new one that is compatible here in the Philippines or like the standard look of a S2 l9100?
If there is, could you give a step-by-step procedure cause I really don't know the "how-to" with phones, flash ROM or anything that pertains to his matter.
Hope for a assistance.
Thanks.
Jan from the Philippines
i have the same phone in the same country and i don't have either of your issues. the reason is because i flashed a stock i9100 rom to my shw m250k so now it's basically an i9100 phones with an antenna but doesn't have an fm radio. anyway, if you haven't tried flashing before i suggest you read up on some guides. there are some here and more can be found on google. i don't want to give you one myself in case your phone somehow gets bricked (almost impossible though) btw the rom i'm using is the european kg6 one. no issues at all
OT: since we have the same unit, i want to know how long your battery lasts. mine just barely touches 12hrs before it's completely drained, i don't know if it's an isolated case or if all m250k's are the same. i'm using a replacement 1800mah battery though, so that might be the reason. i just don't want to spend money on an original one yet just to find out it's the same story.
hi fyre31,
GREAT!!!! Really appreciate your technical advice on this predicament. Though I don't the "how-to's" on flashing or rooting on this device.
Haven't tried the unit yet but if ever I flashed it I'll give you a feedback on the battery thing.
Thanks again.
Jan
We have the same phone in the same country, regarding battery life, mine got 30 hours with the stock battery on normal use, I'm currently using LiteningRom v5.0
hmm guess i'm gonna have to get myself an original samsung battery then. thanks for sharing

yeah, I guess the rom and kernal is the main factor with regards to battery life, and also I forgot to mention, I disabled fast dormancy on *#9900# and wipe battery stats in recovery mode

You have no idea, this post of yours is my savior! I tried different roms and they caused my phone to have a boot loop. Now I have Lite'ning Rom v6.1 and it's rooted and has a custom rom without the bloatware in one go. Loving it so far!
For those who need help, these are the steps I followed (don't blame me if something goes awry on your phone though...)
Follow the steps here: http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/04...ng-odin-and-superoneclick-step-by-step-guide/
Except! After Step 2, press the volume up button. And then On step 5, instead of the "XWKDD_insecure.tar", replace it with the latest Rom you can download in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274.
By the way, if it wasn't obvious, I have the same predicament as everyone else. I bought the phone before it was officially released in the Philippines, and it was imported from Korea. My phone has an antenna... and it serves nothing other than make my friends laugh because it makes the phone look like some cheap brand, haha My version had M250K before I installed the custom rom.
Hi there!
First, i want to say hello to everyone, because i've just registered to the site.
Second, i want to discuss a problem here, or rather ask for help about it.
So, i have my GT-I9070 for more than a year now, i've buyed it when it was released in our country, Hungary.
I've updated my OS yesterday, from 2.3.6 Gingerbread to 4.2.1 Jellybean.
I did the update because my GB was very slow, laggy, and buggy. (It was stock ROM, stock kernel, and all the things reversed back to the stock(although, i made some modding and OS switching, but i've repaired them all.))
The update to 4.2.1 did not solve the problem, so i've decided to search for more answers. I've found out from other sites, that many people have/had this issue, and that almost everyone solved it with a Custom Kernel. So after rooting, installing CWM, i've installed CoCore Kernel 5.6, then 6.2, then 8.2.
None of them helped. It's still the same useless, laggy, and slow ****. I can't even write on it, just roughly, because it's so slow now.
So, I would like to know your opinion of solving this problem of mine, because I can't find any more answers.
Thank you all, for listening and sharing.
Sincerely yours,
Vugil.
Helping, not sharing, sorry.
its due to less ram try swapping to increase free ram

How?
Well, the Kernel isn't the ROM!
You really have to flash a custom ROM, to get a smooth usage.
BUT, Custom ROMs tend to suck your battery dry, faster than stock roms!
so unless someone whispered you the perfect settings for minimal higher battery usage, you shouldn't try any custom rom, except when you want to try it out so badly and you know what you are doing.
