I am Completely new to this as this is my first WM Device.

What you need to do is read the wiki (see signature), and rom related threads, as to answer your question would take to long and as the previous person mentioned, we have been here before.
Do a search in the rom development forum and read the first few posts on each rom which will tell you basically what that rom includes. Do the same for whaever roms you are interested in and then try them out if you want.
All I can say is read read read and follow guidelines regarding flashing in the wiki and cRaCKwHoRe's guide. Both can be found in my signature

thanks
Hi
Thanks for your reply I am goign to start reading tonight and hope I understand what it all means.

It may appear daunting at first, but everyone here was in your shoes at first. After reading the wiki and implementing advice/tips/tweaks etc listed within you should be on your way to understanding. As a close mate (cRaCKwHoRe) said, if you read the wiki you'll know what I know, and this is the truth
There is also guidelines and tutorials on how to flash to knew roms and improve radio (reception) etc.
All information on each rom is listed on first few posts of each thread on that particular rom.
If you have any problems on any topic people here will gladly assist you (well most). If no one helps you, which I doubt, PM me.

(sorry for polish lang).
this rom's i cook without device..
if moderator delete this topic, ok.

******************. My friend Ham3r here cooked like 10 roms without having the actual device, made the effort and you can't do one simple thing a test and post results? If you think that flashing a phone with a not-well-made/unfinished rom can brick your device, you should at least read the wiki or understand what is written here in the forums. And before you start to insult me or whatever, take into consideration that it IS possible that you don't have the amount of knowledge needed. Start reading - stop posting stupid things.
Mod Edited. You can make your point without insults. The warnings members give are valid for a ROM that is not tested.

welcome chef, but why in wm6.1?

6.1 is faster.
rom's for leo are only 6.5.. i don't understand that.

I can see everyone from Poland ganging up on people who ask for this ROM to be removed. It does seem strange however, that someone would cook a ROM for a device they don't own, and can't test.
99% of people will NOT flash an untested ROM. It makes no sense. Even following all the correct procedures, it could still brick the device, as the chef doesn't even know if the ROM works properly. Also, uploading as a file that we need to convert maybe isn't the best thing to do either. Most people don't have the tools or knowledge to convert these files.
Can we please end the flaming and insults. How old are you people really!?

I am intrested in 6.1 rom.
_Rayearth, you have hd2, have you tested it?
Thanks.

It's because we do test untested roms and therefore we know better
I some1 want to remove thread just because it offers untested rom, then I think this person should do a little research on this matter.
BTW, is it realy so hard not to read this thread if you don't like/use the content? just ignore it.
hrcro, yes I have but personaly, I think it would hard to use it with fingers on 6.1
on the other hand, clean and fast rom like this is rare these days

The vast majority of roms on here are untested before posted, the only difference is half the chefs don't tell you! Chefs with custom kitchens cook for a lot of devices and post for users to test. NRGZ28 did this, yet nobody asked him to close his down, and he is a brilliant chef!
Stop asking for this to be closed, the OP has as much right as anyone to ask people to test something for him, it is the users that make the decision. If you don't want to test it, sod off and leave the thread alone.

[Q] HTC HD2 - Android Porting

Getting ready for brickbats, I send in this query.
I have an HD2. I want to try Android OS on it. However, the information in the forums is quite overwhelming for someone like me, who only knows the front end of the phone. I have searched the forums for methods and which version to use, but end up getting lost.
All I know till now is that I need to download the Android file and save it on the phone and then run it. But which version(there are so many!)? What are things that work, and do not work? What all do I need to do for a functional phone after I port it?
My apologies if the answer to this has already been posted somewhere; please point me to it and I shall be grateful.
Please help!
R

Sorry mate, but all the answers to your questions are in the threads in the development section.
Just pick one and read the first post (realistically, read the first few pages). That gives you all the info you need on running Android.
Just go from ROM to ROM and read what's already been written about them, in order to decide which to use.

Thank you John! I will do that!
Seasons Greetings!

if you can't understand it, then it is still too early for you to port android

just use some toolkit

so if you dont like this, try the other one

You need to go read the guides, If you cant follow them you should sell your HD2 and get a native Android phone.

u must understand before proceed porting otherwise it will break
to understand is by to reading it, so please READ

Unable to boot Android using haret on HTC Leo

Hi
Using HTC Leo with Windows 6.5 from US T mobile.
Was able to boot to Android twice using Haret.exe. Booting into Android had pattern lock (which was never set previously) or google account (no one used Android on the device). Removed the battery and booted into Windows 6.5, not sure of the Android version copied on the device.
Am now unable to boot into Android again, it stops at jumping to kernel... need to remove battery to boot into Windows.
Am a novice and need your detailed expert assistance.
Appreciate your guidance.
Rgds..
Zac

Hi Zac, welcome to the forum.
Did you buy the device with an android build on the sdcard? Else how do you not know which android rom is on it?
What is the folder name which has haret.exe in it and what other files are in that folder?

My cousin used it in USA and gave it when visiting. He never made any changes on the device - did not even know Android folder existed. I was browsing through the CD card contents and found it.
It is on my Storage card under Android folder- has CLRCAD and HARET exe files.
Thanks

i would forget about using that android folder and either choose another one from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/hd2-android/sd-dev
or choose to install a rom using NativeSD method, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986437
or perhaps get rid of wm6.5 altogether and install android or wp7
best of luck

a working link to which particular rom?
we have an unwritten rule that says do not ask "what is the best rom" since that is a personal choice. So i won't just give you a link to my fav(s)
some links are old and not working, if i have the rom on my hdd i can usually upload a mirror for it, or someone else might if requested to in the thread, unless the OP (original poster/post) of the rom thread specifically states "no mirrors". It is usually worth searching the thread for "mirror" and reading the last few pages, as someone may well have already posted a mirror.
