[Q] Why "dual boot"? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Noob here - bear with me please.
I've tried searching this forum without success (probably because my questions is too general) and I don't have the patience to scan all 200+ pages.
Recently upgraded from HTC Tilt2 (WM6.5) to a Samsung Focus, customized to Phone7.8. Loved the Hardware, software not so much.
Found there were certain must-have features of WM6.5 that I just couldn't duplicate in WP7+.
So, here I am - I have a "new" HTC HD2 - which seems to have universal glowing reviews. Have spent the last few days installing various needed WM6.5 apps.
I've read a lot here about the ability to dual-boot with WM6.5 and Android. What I don't fully understand is what is it about Android that everyone wants? I know there are thousands (maybe even millions) of Android apps out there. How do you choose?
I would appreciate a few replies what Android apps are "killers" and drove the decision to set up the HD2 for dual-boots.

Windows Mobile 6.5 died long time ago. If you still have HD2 install Android and you will discover new World!

Well ...

My Friend ... Dual - Booting Means Having Two OSs At The Same Time ... Like WPH7.8 + Android Or WM + Android ( As I Have Tried , The WPH + Android Through Magldr Is The Best Because In Magldr You Can Directly Choose Which OS To Boot But In WM + Android You Have To Boot In WM Then You Can Boot Android Through WM Or Keep Using The WM ) ... If Were Intrested In WPH + Android Then Let Me Sow You Some thing Useful ... Here ... If Got Any Question Or Problem ... I Would Be Glad To Help ...
With Best Wishes

You could have a Android rom on sd card & keep wm6.5 on device & have a play with android & its apps, won't be hard to choose what apps you want in Android as most of them are complete junk.
More info on SD Android can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/hd2-android/sd-dev

Advice on ROM needed

Hi there,
I used to play a bit (as user, not as a cook) with Prophet couple of years ago and found it a good playtoy. Than I had to use a phone without camera for
work purposes which is now "kaputt" and until I get it repaired I have to use my old Prophet. Wanted to install a new ROM.
What would you recommend as the most stable and fastest WM 6.5 cooked ROM ?
I know that there are many special necessities for certain people, but I just need an english language version with functioning WiFi and GPRS and any form of finger friendly keyboard like PCM.
Thanks for any and all replies/advices/suggestions.

Hello,
I use this ROM, seems to work fine so far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628799
Hello there,
i am using this rom by babak00000 at the moment. Every function like wi-fi, bluetooth, edge works flawlessly and phone is responding well unlike other roms. My humble suggestion is to try and see yourself each of the roms.

[Q] HD2 built in Radio app

Hi,
Not sure if this has been posted somewhere - search gave me nothing.
Using the official HTC ROM for HD2 (latest one on their site).
When i power on the radio application, then minimize it and open IE to browse internet, whenever i rotate the device (portrait to landscape and back), the radio station changes with every 90deg rotation.
Logged a ticket to HTC but no news so far.
Do you guys have the same?
thanks.
Hi! I tried and nothing wrong for me.
My Rom:"grzegorz10_Dusk-Ultimate_2_HD2_WM_23569_v6_00_CHT_v2_0_0".
My radio is: 2.12.50.02_2
Manila: 2.5.20181424.0
thanks, however i think this happens only with the ROM HTC has produced few days ago for the HD2 ...and which no one around this forum uses 'cause everyone nowadays builds its own rom

[Q] Can't start any 3D app after wp7.

Hello Guys!
At first, i want to thank you for this forum on the Tsunagi!
With Roms posted on here, you can have a phone for everyday use, finally.
But I have a problem, which I can't solve alone.
After changing back from WP7 to WM 6.5 I can't start any 3D based app.
iGO for Navigation, FPSECE for PSX or a random game like Asphalt 4 won't work, it just keeps exiting to File Explorer or Home Screen again.
Does somebody know how I can fix that?
Flashed 10x Roms already, from 6.1 to 6.5.5, and it still happens.
Sincerly,
LordYuuki
ironically, i just found the solution.
my version of FPSECE was not compatible with tg01, because I had the 0.11 version for the HD2. After backing up to my 0.10 it runs.
iGO runs after formatting my SDCard, as does Asphalt 4.

[Q] Android Bluetooth APP

Hello guys
In the last months, i used a lot of APP´s of Google Play and other sources to try to solve my "problem" wich has upset me several mothns ago since i bought my new mobile.
I have a X3 iDEOS with Android 2.3.3, but i,m stuck with it about Bluetooth interaction with my carkit handsfree:
- doesn´t show the caller name (in the car or in my netbook when receive a call)
- doesn´t allow to make a call trough the mobile and redirect it (ex. pressing the steering wheel button)
* Previously i had one HTC with WM 6.1, and after i "rooted" it´s original ROM for another, the 2 items above worked well
I have my X3 at 3 months and i´m affraid of "brake is original ROM" because of the warranty right now.
Is there any guy here @ XDA, that can make the 2 things described above??
I´m willing to test, and pay a affordable price for an APP that solves this items with Android 2.3.3 :good:
Regard to all you guys:good:

[Q] unable to access playstore on greek tablet - newbie

Hi to all At my wits end trying all sorts of tricks to get this tablet to work and was told to join this site as it is the best. Basically I bought a 7 inch tablet in Greece and it has a flavour of android on it that can't access the google app store. It uses something called 'slideme market' which is apparently like google apps. from all I've learnt I believe I have to put on a new standard version of android. I know it's called 'rooting' and thats about it ! Can anybody out there point me in the right direction or offer help please. I'm fairly new to all of this... including the use of forums ! I can get any tech info out of the system which is made by 'Crystalaudiovideo' but they tell me there are no plans to upgrade the software as it involves buying licences...Thanks guys :good:
