NAND Android with ClockworkMod Recovery and A2SD+ is the best Android ROM for HTC HD2. NAND Android is better than SD card Android because it uses less battery power and noticeable faster. ClockworkMod Recovery eases to restore and backup while A2SD+ solves less internal storage issue on HTC HD2 by installing applications on SD card. CyanogenMod 7, Stock MIUI, HTC Desire HD and HTC Desire builds, pick you that you love…

hey jay, I’ve been trying out different roms other than the jdms build but majority of them still seems kind of buggy. do you know any gingerbread NAND builds that are stable for the hd2? kind of want to try running 2.3 but don’t want to constantly switch roms i keep finding myself going back to the jdms build, but i want something different and just as stable. thanks =)
Hmm… I don’t think that we have a very stable Gingerbread builds yet.
how about any other stable roms running froyo other than jdms, and the desire z
Don’t know. JDMS Ultimate is the best ROM for me. 😉
lol same here, to install swype do i just download the file and drag into the android folder of my sd card? then install it on the phone?

hi how to install android os 2.2 in htc hd2
plz send me email
thank
you
Please follow the installation guide in the post. Look for it. 🙂
The most stable and indeed FASTEST Gingerbread ROM for HD2 is the HyperDroid GBX. Currently in version 5.0.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918899
I’ve been using it since release and are very very happy about it. Everything is working.
The only problem I can find is that it’s not fully multilanguage. I still see some english menus after changing to Norwegian language.
And as it’s Android 2.3.x, there is no support to use HTC Sync.
But WOW how fast, how snappy it is. HIGHLY recommended.
Thank you very much, you’re a great help
Hey, Jayce. I am undecided, as to which NAND Android build to try. I am running Android from my sd card now.
Which build is most stable with least bugs? I know this is asking for too much. Haha.
Anything close to perfection?
I am using this build now – https://www.jayceooi.com/2011/01/11/download-jdms-ultimate-nand-android-zip-rom-for-htc-hd2/
Hey, thanks alot. I am gonna give it a go tonight. And I do have more questions.
What’s clean android rom about?
It is a build based on HTC Desire.
Dear,
I m having issue while logging into the google account as it asks for password and after waiting the screen goes black. But the Rom works fine.
I am using the dl-desire z Rom + A2SD Rom.
I cant install applications as I cant login to market due to the Google account issue.
Please help…….
Do you have issue to login into Android Market on other Android ROM?
No, now I am using the core Droid +A2SD Rom and it is ok but I can’t watch videos on the browser and on youtube. It always takes me to the home screen
Dear Jayce,
i have investigated more and found out that my phones adobe flash 10.1 is facing error.
Even when i go to applications in Settings to delete Adobe flash, its not allowing me to delete it and the size is also showing 0B
Please reply soon
Try to update to the latest version of Flash from Android Market.
Hi jayce,
thanks for your useful recommended upgrading to android nand 2.2 instead of gingerbread.
initially i’m intents to have gingerbread 2.3,unfortunately i failed that process.
And what you’ve suggested to me on 2.2..finally its awesome with it,however the steps was kinda of complicated.
Furthermore,i have couple of question for you,
1.currently i’m having DFT LEO NAND ANDROID 2.2,But every time the phone shut off due to out of
batt,the phone can’t switch on when i plug in the charger unless i reinsert the batt again.
Is this a weird occurs?
2.The batt was burning off very quickly,the previous wm 6.5 was not that bad.With this software,it flat up totally with only a few calls and stay with stand by mode,yet,receiving some mails.isn’t my batt has gone prob or this software originally consumes lots of batt life?
basically what i wanna know from you was these question,and i’ll appreciate your kind respond.
Thanks..
GABRIEL
1. This is a known issue.
2. I don’t have battery issue with JDMS Ultimate build. I can use it for a day. But that’s depend on your usage. FYI, 3G Internet eats lot of battery.
Hi Jayce
Thanks firstly for a brilliant website. I am new at rooting the HD2 and with your reviews etc I have now installed 1 NAND version and two A2SD+ versions.
My question is this: Essentially I am a business ie I need real speed on my phone. I also need space on internal memory, hence moving to A2SD+. My first A2SD+ was Typhoon 1.6a (reviewed above). This was very fast but had too many settings (even for me) and the music players lost all my songs after a restart so I moved to RAFDROID as reviewed above but found their latest version on http://android.hd2roms.com/all-builds/ which has muddled me even further because there are so many options. Even their latest version is very slow.
How do I find a build that suits me perfectly, ie fast, plenty of space for internal memory and preferably with HTC Sense (but not essential) and that works. I have scoured the net and you, androidforum and XDA seem to be the only guys worth looking at but there are almost no reviews and the ones I have found are a month or two out of date.
Kind regards
Murray
I am using this build – https://www.jayceooi.com/2011/01/11/download-jdms-ultimate-nand-android-zip-rom-for-htc-hd2/ The fastest and stable that I use so far.
Thanks Jayce although that appears to be a NAND version – am I correct? I love NAND because of the speed but there is so little internal memory
I install Darktremor A2SD+ myself. So apps are stored at SD card now – https://www.jayceooi.com/2011/01/26/how-to-install-applications-to-sd-card-directly-on-android/
Thanks Jayce
Just to be sure – this Dark Tremor – I understand that I can install a NAND build then run the Dark Tremor app and it will allow me to use internal memory on the SD card?
I currently have a 16GB sd card with a 2.5GB etx3 partition and a 12.5GB FAT32 partition. Will this work or will i have to re-partition it?
Applications will install at EXT partition instead of internal storage. And it should work.
Will my camera quality go bad if i shift from windows 6.5 to Andriod?
That’s depend on the Android ROM that you are using. Some builds are better than others.
Hey Jay thanks a million, WE all appreciate your time and efforts.
I dont know if this is how the Jaws Miui Rom is suppose to work and wanted to find out. When i reboot or power off the phone will pull info from the SD card to load the rom.. is this how it suppose to work? I assume no since the whole idea was to get away from the loading from SD card. In any case, once the phone starts it does not need the card anymore. Im curious and concerned if i need to change SD card or if it gets damaged…my phone will be rendered useless if it reboot/power off/on..
Also i found under settings…the ringtone settings and notification setting are one and the same? is this a error or the way it is?
Thanks for all your help and time again
All A2SD+ Android ROMs require SD card to work since it stores application data there.
Err… Not sure about ringtone / notification setting. I don’t have MIUI Android ROM now.
How do you acces 3G on the NAND Android HD2

hey jayce, i installed ty down typhoon cm7 on my hd2… but the app were crashing down too frequently and i wasnt able to access ext3 partition… it was showing low space on my handset…
tell me how can i access that….
How much CWM partition layout did you use? 150MB, 250MB or 400MB?
400mb one… first i created a partition of 1024 nd it didnt worked out and then i tried out wid 512 but same results….
That’s the problem. You should use 150MB for CM7 ROM. Reinstall them again…
hi jaycee
i’ve downloaded app2sd+ roms above and tried to install them to my HD2 in CVM recovery.
but every time i’ve got the caution “installation aborted”, i tihink cwm can not open the zip file,
whats the problem?
Did you create EXT partition in your SD card?
yes i did,
i created in cwm mod, 2048 mb ext3
by the way how can i check whether the ext3 partition created is ok or not?
Use DiskUsage to check – https://www.jayceooi.com/2011/04/30/diskusage-check-android-phone-storage-space-usage/
hi jaycee,
i have htc hd2, running on miui rom
what i want to ask is an apk
i wanna have an apk like “full screen caller id”, which shows full size picture of the person calling like in iphone4
the apk named full screen caller id doesnot work on my phone…
Please consult the developer for your issue.
Miui ROMs come with full caller ID pre-loaded you just have to use the add photo at the bottom when editing your contacts =). Believe me it works caus I have a MIUI ROM
