New desire hd user - Desire HD General

Hi! I just bought my desire HD a while ago. I came from xperia x10 and been following their forums here in xda. Although they are both Android phones, it seems that I am confuse and not familiar with the terms used in this forum. So I want to ask help frm any of you who are already familiar with this phone. I want to have a guide as to where will I start; rooting, updating firmware, optimizing, etc. As i find most of the posts here too confusing and i don't know where to start so if anyone can guide me thank u in advance

I second that.

You will get many answers to that. My favourite daily is Rcmixhd v05. Doesn't update as much as some others but its the best option if you want a nice smooth experience which is close to stock. The gingerbread keyboard is great too. It is better than HTC stock.
The truth is that there is not that much difference between the different roms except some cosmetic things, and the odd added app.

[Q] Desire HD Roms

Hey guys, was just looking through the NAND section for android and couldn't find any ROMs which are desire HD based and do not use D2SD (apart from gauner's)
Was just wondering if I overlooked any?
Cheers
I suggest you to try the rafpignas' hd build with data2ext if you dont want to use the d2ext just dont create an ext partition.

you don't have to be an asshole about it, just report it and let the mods take care of it.

Overlooking would imply that you actually looked. Several say either Desire HD or DHD in their title.

Well i guess you should go with old sense (like desire, evo...) and not the new sense (desire HD or Z)
rafdroid light or gauners
Good place to start as a newbie.

Why would a lie about looking through 2 and half pages of a forum?
And I put the question in the development section because there was plenty of others in there and i figured since my question is specifically about NAND dev i'll post in there, If you don't have something constructive to reply you needn't bother.
Anyway, thanks to others, I'm using an EU HD2 which is why I'd need data2ext for most of the ROMs, and I hardly found any which don't use that.
I do like gauner's but for some reason my texts keep getting wiped off the phone without warning, i just open sms and they're gone..

HTC Sense 3.0

Just wondering if it's possible to download and install the HTC Sense 3.0 interface/widgets? I have a stock droid rom which is nice but I want the HTC Sense 3 widgets

Doesn't look like he's rooted. You can't just install Sense 3.0 like you install Launcher Pro.

Nope, but give this one a try: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free
I just rooted my phone today and flashed a rom with sense 3.0. It's pretty awesome, i think i am gonna stick with it for a while.
If you are not rooted, please do give it a try. Just make sure you make the appropriate backups.

Guys please search a bit on the forums. You can find the custom roms in the android development forum
Also yes sense 3 roms are gingerbread.
Now, since they are mostly.experimental, do some research first, get to know some android terms (like nandroid ,clockworkmod, fastboot, adb ,RUU etc) read all of the stickies and then go flashing a rom. What's important when flashing roms/radio/recoveries/bootloaders is to understand what you are doing before doing it. If you do it that way, there are high chances your device won't end as a decorative rock/brick on a bookshelf
Also this is not the correct section

Yes, the guy is correct. Reading up is very important.
You could try one with 3.0 mods, 3.0 lockscreen, weather etc.
The rom that i am on now is InsertCoin, stable build. Very stable, and it's on gingerbread. I highly recommend it.

Yes you are using a Froyo ROM, Gingerbread has several advantages over Froyo, one being a better keyboard. Also there is a lot of apps that do not run on Froyo but do on Gingerbread.
hi if i have androied on my phone htc hd2 can i just down load a new rom and install it?
You need to be reading around in the HD2 Android forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=743
Yes, all you need to do is download and install another ROM. There are instructions for installation in whatever ROM you choose to install. There are a lot to choose from.
whats the best one?

Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, Neopolitan, Spumoni?
Really, you can't ask that kind of question around here and expect a serious reply. Try Tytung, that was previously recommended to you. Or Hyperdroid, or AmeriCan Android.
Try any or all of them.
hey sorry im new to this dont know the steps to take like i said its an hdc hd2 and i have android on it im happy whit what i have i just wanted to know if the only thing i have to down load is the new rom and install?

Is There a Stable Android Rom for the HD2

Hi,
Just trying to see if anyone knows of a stable android rom for the HTC HD2 from Tmobile. I installed the ice cream version and it had prblems with the camera, among other things. When i researched, it looked like all version of the Android for the HD2 have some issue. I would like to use Android on my HD2, but I also want all of the functions to go along with it. Thanks in advance for feedback.

No, you have NOT found the 'best ROM'. There is no best ROM. All of the ROMs available are stable, some have certain issues. Try them out and see for yourself, it's a subjective question. Your definition of stable is different from others' definitions. If a standard CM7 ROM isn't 'stable' then I don't know what is.
thats beacause i wrote "best" in quotes
i know that

What camera/video issues?
The camera app freezes and the video app just shows colored lines.
And where did you get that from? None of the ROMs I've tried have had those issues, except for the Alpha ICS ROMs ported from the Android SDK.

Senior member, the ROM I used was Android 4 Ice Cream Rom. If you could suggest a Rom and provide a link, I would be very grateful. I would much rather prefer to use Android on my HTC than Windows. Thanks in advance!

This is the link to the rom nigel was referencing... I am a member of t3d support team. We have released two current versions one stock and one themed. We also have a lite version being released soon. Everything works in our roms with no camera or camcorder issues at all. Please check it out I just recently joined the team but have flashed almost every available rom and I found this best which is why I joined the team as well. Good luck with your decision

Well which ICS ROM did you use? NexusHD2 has everything sorted out (at least in terms of my personal usage).
Tytung's NexusHD2 ICS rom is very stable for me.
