I'm currently running nbd 9.0, and it's a bit flaky. I get 2-3 hangs a day. And, it's difficult to answer calls. Seems like things get really slow when a call comes in, and it just won't answer right.
So -- What to do? A friend recommended See No Evil. What I'm looking for is a STABLE rom, preferably with the following included: HTC Today thingie. PocketCM / PCM Keyboard.
That's about it -- the rest I install myself.
So -- which rom would be the best for me? And, should I upgrade the radio? (I'm Cingular/Att). Versions in .sig
Thanks in advance!
Try mfrazz's build or you can also try my build as well as NotTooSmart's Build. We use the same base rom to cook and OS 318 has alot less issues as far as i know for staibility. TNT is releasing new OS soon :d
IPL/SPL: 3.08
GSM: 2.69.11
OCTAIVOI's Wizard 4.2 8M
No problem for 4 days. I tried a lot. This one is the best for me.
Just thought I'd note that The HTC Today plugin and the PocketCM and CMKeyboard can all be installed separately. You don't need them in the ROM.
This has been super stable for me over a week use

I would suggest rebuild your own ROM. I use whiterat ROM as that is the one that is most stable in my phone, or jaguar was good in my phone too. Rip it with core kitchen, and add the packages u like, and enjoy...

try NBD 8.3.....BEST ROM EVER IMHO.
What I've tried so far
NBD 9.0 - Very flaky -- many hangs, but beautiful
NBD 9.1 - Much better than 9.0, but, still some hangs. Java did not work with gmail applet (after installing, it would immediately exit whenever you try to run java)
NBD 8.3 - Java hanging issue.
SeeNoEvil - Does not have streaming media, has old HTC-X, no HTC Today thingie, but I love CoolCamera.
Mobile 6 2a - Seems stable, but no HTC Today thingie, or other fun aps.
OCTAIVOI's -- Things mostly work -- same java issue as NBD 9.1. Gmail does something weird to the java machine. -- since that's the only thing I use java for, it's a big deal.
WRCX3 -
And, I've discovered that these are the killer apps that I love:
1-Calc - I typically install rdcalc, but never use it to it's full potential -- 1-Calc is pretty sweet
HTC Today Thingie - I love this launcher -- lets me use my finger. I also like the Contacts & weather
HTC X
Streaming Media
I'm going to keep editing this post as I test things
But, now that I've gotten a taste, I want pieces of everything . . .
I think it may be time to cook a rom!
Where can I look to get started with a ROM kitchen? Last time I did it, it was with my original XDA, and Lumpi Stefan's kitchen -- which was all web based.
Can someone point me to a tutorial on how to get started with a WM6 kitchen?
Java Wierdness
Seems like something has permanantly damaged java -- I go back to the T-Mobile 2.26, then up to any package, and java doesn't work.
I haven't seen an easy step by step guide for getting ANDROID 2.2 aka (Froyo) on the HTC HD2 .
Just download this file here: http://x.vu/HD2ANDROID
extract and run.
thats it!

Hi Noolis. Let me tell you that just like you, most people on the HD2 (including me) are waiting patiently for the Android OS to work as perfect as any other native Android Device. The guys on the main thread are working very hard for this to happen.
Just bookmark the following thread and visit it everyday. read the information on the 3rd post, and try their work in progress at your own risk. enjoy
this is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719646

i keep gettin a green screen then it freezs, i downloaded the zip to the sd card then i extract all the files then run the haret and it goes all the way to the drawling of the android and about a min. after it gets a green screen , what am i doing wrong please
i got that green screen as well but after a new restart it worked perfectly...
And before that i did have the error message "waiting for SD card" for a long time.
Even I dont know how I get Android running on my HD2...
Maybe just restart and retry, who knows!
Good luck
Android probably won't be working right for a number of months. Its ok though. The apps are nice but WinMo is still ok for apps (no calc on droid is as good as the panoramic one, Igo Primo > Igo Motonav, etc). By the time droid apps are leaps and bounds better, android should hopefully be working great on the hd2.
I say, just peek at it once in a while but don't really worry about it for another couple months.
Can somebody make a video for the new rom out?
How to make the Anroid OS working on the HD2 - Step-by-step instructions, FAQ, Tweaks
UPDATED! Read the informations & FAQs below...
For those who have got difficulty in making the ported Android builds working on their HD2, here is a step-by-step description!
Accessories:
- First thing you need to have is: The newest Jmz Android dual-boot program, which can be found HERE! The program must have installed in the Device memory!
- Another thing you have to have is a freshly-formatted SD Card (I recommend 2GB or bigger, but in theory the Android will work with a 1GB or less (the least is 512 MB) card...)
- A ported Android ROM (e.g. 2.1, Froyo, Desire ROM, usw.) You can find some working builds HERE! (Desire ROM, Froyos, Ubuntu builds)
Instructions:
- Firstly, install the latest Jmz dual-boot app (v3) into the Device memory!
- Download the Android build and copy it into the ROOT of your freshly-formatted memory card! Normally you just have to copy the files into your card, but in some cases you have to copy the whole folder though... (for more infos check out the build's README file, if it has got one)
- If it's needed, RENAME the "zharet" file to "haret" and the only txt file (Unluckily I don't know what its name is at the moment, I remeber to "README.txt" or sgh, but now I don't have any builds in which the name of these files are not these names) to "startup.txt"!
- Instert the card to your HD2!
- Restart your device!
- When the boot-screen appeares and starts, choose the "Boot Android" option!
- Wait for the Android build finally starts up (it takes 2-3 minutes or more, it depends on the ROM)
- Use and enjoy it!
If you still have problmes with the installing, send a PM or reply a comment!
I hope I could help with this.
[Please excuse me if I made any grammatical mistakes...]
IMPORTANT! You're really ought to make a full-system-backup before trying ANY of the ported builds out! (I recommend the SPB Backup, but of course, another backup progs are such suitable... either of them will do it!)
For example one of these builds blew my Sense 2.5 sky-high, and unluckily I didn't do a system-backup before I had tried the ported Froyo build out. As a result, I had to modify and customize my Sense again...
And according to my friend, due to an Android build, his 3G-data connection setup has also been laid down... so be careful, for all that that the most of these releases are "harmless"!
UPDATE (updated at 07/19/10):
For example I've just tired this build: "New Froyo build by dan1j3l V1" (description and DL link can be found here...), and it works very well on my HD2! It is fast, smooth enough, all of the wireless connections are working (just like BT, Wi-FI), and so on... worth a try!
IMPORTANT UPDATES AND FAQs
Q: Some people asked me how could the sound working without starting CLRCAD manually...
A: The Jmz dual-boot application automatically starts it, you needn't do it manually!
Q: Why is it not necessary to run "(z)haret"?
A: The answer is the same: the Jmz automatically does it...
If you have still have issues with the Android builds (e.g. with the backlight), try out these tweaks:
- To prevent your device from freezing when it tries to sleep, set the screen's timeout to 30 minutes in the ANDROID settings!
- Turn off "Automatically adjusted backlight" in the WinMo settings (or in the Sense 2.5 settings, makes no difference), and set both backlight option to 100%!
- UNCHECK the "Dim backlight if device is not used for XY minutes" option, and "Turn off device if it's not used for XY minutes" as well! (At the "On Battery Power" or "On External Power" section, it depends on what power-option you'd like to use your phone in...)
If your build doesn't show, or shows wrong the battery-meter (e.g. your battery is fully charged, but the build shows a "?" mark insted of the precentage or ask you to recharge it, etc.) (... and if it's not able to handle it), download this file and copy it into the root of your SDCard, and replace the original with it!
DOWNLOAD (FTP Mirror)
Unconfirmed tweaks:
- If you are able to run the builds in no way, try to format your SD Card in FAT32 filesys. It answered the problem for some people...
- In theories, HSPL is needed to run the ported Androids, but this assertion is unconfirmed at the moment!
not being funny but shouldn't you have posted this in general as android isn't exactly a theme is it ?
Not it's not a theme but the other half of the thread section is Apps. I take Android as as App when it's not a flashed OS.
just installed android using this guide, very helpful so thanks.
im using 2.2 Froyo build by dan1j3l and it seems to work very well. data connection seems slower then on WM, the battery meter doesnt work (and i cant charge the phone or connect it to the PC) when the phone goes into standby, it keeps the backlight and buttons on. also have the issues that many users are experiencing with calls. also when i reboot into windows mobile, the time and date reset!
just to help people out that maybe dont have much experience with this (such as my self) maybe you could add things such as radio ROM requirements, and perhaps a list of things that arnt working accross all ROMs (i think the call issue would be an example of this). you can find it through searching, but its nice to have it all in one place
if it helps i think you need radio 2.08 or above but not 2.12 (2.11 is the latest radio that works), as well as HSPL installed. the 'green screen' seems to be a big issue, but i just removed the battery and re-inserted it and it worked fine

if you are using any of the android builds ie dans froyo or desire there are a couple of different zimages that you can replace in your android file. these will sort out the dimming isssue and have camera working, calls are perfect on my 2 different versions although 1 has accelerometer & no camera and the other is the opposite way round, battery is charging and indicators are working but i havent tried all the zimages to say what else they have up their sleeve so to say.
In regards to radio it needs to be a min of 2.08.50.* mine is 2.12 and calls are clear as a bell although browser can be a bit of hit & miss at times, it is getting better as different builds come out so well just have to be patient til a rom is eventually released.
i keep getting a green screen after the drawling of the android , it will drawl the android a couple times before the green screen pops up and freezes and i cant find anyone to help me out , ive read the directions but the last pass 24 hrs nothing but a green screen
Excellent guide Kromosome !
But I have the same issue as matthewharmon102.
In plus my HD2 it not responding after going to sleep ...
I'm confident that in the next release some of this issues will be solved.
Thank you guys

Hey everybody!
Some people asked me about the instructions, so I've modified my guide, and I wrote some important informations into it, and I integrated a FAQ section (that will probably increase), which is worth to be checked out!
I've also written down what you should do if your device freezes when you try to awake it, or if your screen goes dull after the Jmz starts installing the "haret", and tries to set the Android OS up!
If you have issues (especially backlight-issues), don't forget to check it out!
Hail Everybody!
As we know the Android developers are working hard to make it run smooth on our HD2.
There still bugs here and there but for sure we will get this great thing smooth like our WM OS soon!
Keep up the great work!
Hi, I acquired a used polaris touch cruise 1 and nand flashed to RLS10.
I am wondering what performance this device has with modern apps. I had issues to run youtube videos and flash. I also tried to run sipdroid (sip phone app) and it stucked with sound or completely crashed. Is there a chance in terms of performance do get this apps running?

The YouTube app suffers from a known problem that we hope it would be fixed.*
For VoIP you can use a great application that really works: Nimbuzz. It can make call using Skype accounts and Windows Live Messenger accounts. Be sure to check it out.
And... welcome!! Polaris is still a quite good device.
Yepp, I second that.
I find Froyo a little to much for my old Polaris. It really anoys me the lack of Flash support in the browser. Even with Skyfire I can't get it requires a lot of resources. One thing I must say, I enjoy Android more then Win Mo that's for sure.
The best ROM so far for me is Valilla Eclair. Fast with very good battery life.
I agree with alinescoo, the new Android ROMs (e.g. froyo) are too heavy for Polaris.... Not a bad thing though, but as long as you know the limitations u can be a happy user.
Ive had my Pola100 for almost 2.5 years now, and the reason I moved from WinMo to Android is cause its much much faster, stable and cause Im looking forward to finally buy a new phone. And Android is defintely the OS to go for...
I guess the answer to ur question depends on whether u wanna use ur Polaris as a stable everyday phone or u wanna try everything u can on it...
Cheers
Oh btw, Im using Incubus Super Froyo RLS13 with Liqu1d's 16/07 nbh. Very fast and quite stable...
Hope it helps
I really badly want to be able to use an external keyboard with my desire. Preferably full size. Is this possible?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I have a ThinkOutside bluetooth keyboard, and it works just fine.
You cannot, at the moment, be using a Sense-rom - HTC are using an old bluetooth stack or something along those lines, and bluetooth HID devices (such as keyboards or wiimotes) wont connect.
I am using OpenDesire 3.1, and as soon as i pair the keyboard, it recognises it as an HID device and i can type straight away.
Unfortunately, some other roms (like DeFrost 2.5a) do not detect the keyboard as an HID device and do not work straight away. To get it to work, what I did was install an app in the market called Bluekeyboard JP (free) which detected the keyboard and allowed typing.
Josh.
I use the original rom with froyo, and cant get my nokia SU-8W (HID) to work.
I sent HTC support a note about this, and hope that if enough people do this, they'll include it at some point.
btw. I tried 3 different apps.
BlueKeyboard JP looks the best, and has been reported working on a nexus 1 froyo

there's NO support for HID (so, even bt keyboards) in kernel based on standard rom... so, the question is useless: you cannot pair it with the desire... the only way to make it possible is, as already written, use a rom based on android AOSP, like opendesire... but doing so, you will loose sense... choice is yours...
So, if i flash with OpenDesire i will be able to use a bluetooth keyboard. Any bluetooth keyboard or are there specific types? i don't want to go out and buy a nice one only to find out it is one blue tooth revision too old or something.
You won't get any guarantees here. If you want to be sure, you might want to pay a little more at a store who have a decent returns policy (just in case it doesn't work) or who will allow you to test if it works.
Android uses the bluez software for connecting to bluetooth devices (which is the same software that many desktop Linux distributions use). This should support the bulk of (standard) HID devices.
But then.. I never got Ubuntu to work with my Logitech MX 5000.. you might want to stay clear of the Logitech bluetooth products, as many of the bluez issues on Linux suport boards appear to be about their products.
Thanks for the answers guys. I'll try my best to try before I buy lol.
I wish I find this post earlier... spent hours on the web looking for clues to this. Now I am very happy typing with my ThinkOutside Stowaway keyboard on my Desire with OpenDesire ROM. Then when I don't need to type I can quickly flash and restore to LeeDroid with Sense UI.
But I learned thru the trial process how to adb push files and and how to access the phone on a PC. and the whole concept about rooting, recovery, and flashing ROMs.
Hi, are there any news with BT-Keyboards and the current Sense-Roms?
I would like to buy a keyboard like the freedom touch pro or the previously linked dealxtreme one. But I love Sense and don't want to lose that.

It's not a limitation of the BT keyboard preventing you from using it with Sense-enabled Desire, it's the Desire's Sense kernel which prevents you from using a BT keyboard. Like the guy above me said, used an AOSP-based Android ROM if you want to use a BT keyboard with your Desire.
Sorry, seems that I misunderstood that part.
I'm running LeeDroid v2.2 currently, anybody here who tried a BT Keyboard with that?
Hey, just wanted to post an update:
I bought the Freedom TouchPro Keyboard and it works like a charm with my Desire.
In fact I‘m just writing this Post on it. Just took it out of the box and followed the instructions.
As I said I‘m using LeeDroid 2.2.
Bluetooth keyboard and standard Froyo 2.2
Just to confirm, my no_name BT keyboard doesn't go on stock Froyo 2.2 (first thing I checked after the update).
The keyboard works flawless under Windows XP and Windows Mobile 6.5.3.
Didn't know that OpenDesire supports HID BT. I am considering rooting right now
I've also got a Logitec DiNovo mini that doesn't work with the Stock Froyo.
I might well look at rooting soon too...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
BT Keyboard workind
*rooted
*wiped all
*new rom OpenDesire 4.0.36
*downloaded 'Bluekeyboard JP' from Market
*tick 'on' bluekeyboard as input method in settings
*connected to BT Keyboard (no_name)
*choose bluekeyboard as input method in textbox
And....... it's working (recognized as a HID device). Typing docs with Docs To Go 3.0 works fine.
Why HTC doesn't support this from the box remains a mystery for me. It would be great for business oriented buyers.
why do you use Bluekeyboard JP?
To connect a Bluetooth Keyboard, any BT keyboard that supports HID (all keyboards do), you just need an AOSP ROM, like CyanogenMod, Defrost or OpenDesire. Then you just have to pair it and use it. That's it.
If you need a different keyboard layout then you just have to modify the keyboard layout file on the phone memory.
Bluekeyboard
Dunno. I thought that I needed Bluekeyboard, but thanks for the heads up. Will delete Bluekeyboard and see how she goes.
No Bluekeyboard necessary
Unintalled Bluekeyboard and, indeed, the BT keyboard still works fine
Will I be able to connect a BT keyboard to HTC Desire HD?
Will it accept HID devices?
HTC Desire didnt becouse it used an old BT driver or something like that.
Is the HDH useing a newer driverpack?
Bluetooth keyboards & Desire HD
I am keen to know the answer to this one. Being able to connect a bluetooth keyboard to my HTC Touch HD (WM 6.1) phone is one of the reasons I still enjoy using it. I hope moving to Android with the DHD does not rule this out.
I spent 30 mins tryinh the Freedom i-connex, and even installing drivers I couldn't get it to work.
To be fair I did just give up as I lost interest, but it's definitely not just a simple quick and easy thing.
Very unlikely to work, HTC has their own BT implementation and its not yet worked on any of their phones (until Cyanogenmod ROM comes anyways).
Samsung Galaxy S does support on 2.2 firmwares, as does the Dell Streak, and every phone with an available Cyanogenmod ROM, if thats a consideration for you.
My Mini bluetooth keyboard http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/mini-bluetooth-keyboard-for-smartphones/ from Ebay is on the way, i hope with treksoft Blueinput software http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=products&platform=2&pid=24 it will be ok with HTC DHD.
So, after a test, it is definitely not working for my DHD (bundled android driver or trial teksoft blueinput for android). So bad :-/ Hope for some useful upgrade in the future...
Will we get better BT support with then new Gingerbread Android 2.3?
Sounds as if it wouldnt be hard implementing good BT drivers in this kind
of phone to start with.
Wonder way HTC dont want us to use BT peripherials??
Any news about Gingerbread and BT HID driver?

"Peter, the HTC Desire phone does not come with the Bluetooth HID protocol. There is no method of putting this protocol onto your phone and we cannot guarantee that it will be included in any future updates."
But the HID is working with the Oxygen v2.0 RC4.

I used this driver:

I was not able to plug my apple bluetooth keyboard under the official sense rom on the desire HD.
However, after installing the latest "stable" cyanogen (6.1), bluetooth is working, and I can connect and use the keyboard (it uses the HID profile).
Hi @All
I am playing with wiimot, my snes games.
Cyanogenmod 6.1.3
ONLY with sense ROMs dont work The Bluetooth driver
Have yesterday nonstop over 10h playing
Hi, just read about the "non-possibility" to link bluetooth keyboards, unless to root (if well understood with cyanogen), or use Keypro, welllll....
I'm no hero, o rooting I do not see as a solution and Keypro desn't do the trick either.
Problem on my side it that the pairing works, but once paired, the system indicates "paired, but disconnected" & no chance to connect???
I have a flexible (silicone) keyboard and really like to use it.
Anyone an idea?
Thanks in advance
Noone could use a human input device via bluetooth yet on HTC and Samusng droids due to the fact the manufacturer's OS is simply incompatible with these devices. It seems like the only way to use a device like that if u get a custom OS on your device. I tried to bug HTC with my questions like why exactly can't they provide an OS with bluetooth HID support meanwhile an unofficial developer can deal with it. Got no explanation, just the repeated answer saying that it is currently not compatible with HTC devices. And I should check for updates regularly. Maybe if the more people would bug them... Give it a go everyone. Would be great to use mouse, keyb, gamepads...
Hi all, i'm looking for the same solution too and found an apps called "BlueInput" which claimed to be a working driver, can anyone please try it with your BT keyboard since I haven't bought a keyboard yet... Thanks a lot!!
Here's the link of the apps, and I've seen a demo version on Andriod market:
http://www.mobihand.com/263//product.asp?id=415867
tested with my key-board: doesn't work
Found however following link (also via XDA): i-miss-erin.blogspot.com/2009/09/connect-bluetooth-keyboard-in-android.html
But seen my faculties/knowlegde regading tooring etc, I haven't tried.
If anyone could help me with an "easy root for moorons" - please contact me....
I am fighting for the operation of my Bluetooth Keyboard Nokia SU-8W on the DHD so far without success.
Any suggestions?
I haven't tried CyanogenMod 6.1.3 or 7 Rom but if this is the only way to have the keyboard worked, I think I'll have to learnt to root now =_="
I've bought a BT keyboard and installed BlueInput, it don't work on my DHD, but it works very well on my sister's Dell Venue =_=" What a shame!
IRXON BT HID keyboard from dealextreme doesn't work with HTC Magic stock or DHD stock / Leedroid ROMS.
Amusingly enough, this worked like a charm with a jailbroken iphone 2g. Can anyone else confirm support for HID keyboards on the Desire HD with CM 6.1 or CM7 ?
EDIT: Naturally, tried every input app in the market, including BlueInput demo, another app for japanese HID keyboards and even BT input drivers for Zeemote and MSI BT gamepads
Anyone tried on the market:
"Bluetooth Keyboard Easyconnect" from Mike van der Sluis?
If so & successful, think I really need to get the rooting knowlegde (well knowing that with the current 2.2.1 no rooting is possible, so a downgrade is needed etc etc etc....... - in other words: HELP!)
