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
Bookmark it, it'll make it easier for ya!!
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!
Hey guys,
Just thought I'd give you a headsup for anyone who doesn't know, the Voxis launcher from ColdfusTion is hopefully going to be hitting the Play Store next month. For anyone who doesn't know ColdfusTion's stuff, he's a popular tech YouTuber who makes custom Android themes among other things and has a great eye for design. Check out his channel if you haven't before.
I unfortunately don't have link posting rights yet, but if you check out his channel you can see various videos of him demonstrating the app in its current beta form. (Could someone please share?)
This is relevant/exciting for me because I'm the developer (Adam Sinicki) behind the scenes who helped with the coding! I can tell you for a fact that the app is looking really nice. Would love to hear thoughts/feedback, will keep you updated on the progress and launch! Thanks!
..
Java Error
I love the launcher. Worked brilliantly on my note 3. Now on a SM-N910T and experiencing Java error example:
1st screenshot: occurs when attempting to select the phone icon on the screen 1.
2nd screenshot: randomly occurs in any screen.
3rd screenshot: occurs when installing and freezes at 89% never completing load.
Troubleshooting: uninstalled and reinstalled.
Any advice? Non rooted stock 4.4.4
There are some strange difficulties I'd like to solve but won't without help. The First one concerns actualisations - my current version of CyanogenMod is 12.1-20150914=NIGHTLY-bacon, soo the newest one. However I would really like to know why every two weeks when the new actualisations are available, there are always three of them? so with the one i installed came also ver 20150913 and 20150912, should all 3 of them be installed one after another?
2. Using google chrome my phone struggles to play a video from quite a number of players including liveleak, dailymotion and a few more I forgot now, if anyone knows how to fix it I'll be much obliged.
3. I think my dear friends is getting a bit senile =[ freezing once in a while (but still very rarely) and recently it rebooted in a very weird way - I got the black screen, android logo and suddenly it was on without loading (the whole process took about 5-10sec). Again the solution is greatly welcome.
4. Is the jellybean finally available on OPO? can't seem to find it
Huge thanks for all help, I appreciate it and wish you all best of luck, take care!

1. No, all three don't need to be installed, only the most recent one. I'm not sure why you're getting notifications for more than one.
2. Can't comment on this, I have no such issue.
3. There could be countless causes for this, it would be virtually impossible to give you a solution.
4. Jellybean? That's an old Android version, it's several iterations old now. This phone was released on KitKat (4.4.2). Why would anyone create a ROM based on an outdated Android version?
2. it plays a video and suddenly it freezes, sometimes the sound is still playing, sometimes the browser crushes but the video stays on my screen frozen and the sound still goes on.
4. I meant marshmallow, of course, i'm not good with these sweets names

Well Marshmallow hasn't even been released by Google yet. There's a port of a dev preview but it's by no means stable. Marshmallow will be officially released at the end of the month, then we should get some ROMs a while after that.
Hello xda-users,
here the problem: I got a Galaxy S7 Exynos version for almost 2 years and with Instagram I always was back with the updates. For example, when the gif update was rolled-out, I haven't had it for something like 3 month. When I finally got the gifs, I wasn't be able to upload insta-stories if I add a gif to the stories (was it a pics or a video).
Then months passed and, other than this problem, I got a new one: now I can upload only pics in isnta stories, without anything in them.
Examples:
- if I try to upload a video, after pressing to "add to my stories" it try to upload it but, when I check the uploading status clicking on my stories feed, it gaves me a black screen with the word "uploading...";
- same problem if I try to upload a boomerang;
- same problem if I try to upload a pic with a tag/gif/anything.
And it seems to keep using batteries since, after a while, the samsung UI said that an app (instagram) is using to much battery. So I have to kill the app and to delete cache/data from the setting menu to stop instagram doing things.
I tried the following:
- fullwipe with stock rom: problem persists;
- installing a custom AOSP rom (LineageOS): problem solved;
- installing different Samsung rom: problem persists;
- installing previous instagram apk version on Samsung rom: problem persists;
At first I thought it was the preinstalled instagram version on the stock rom, but then I find out that the problem is with instagram and the Samsung rom.
Is anybody there that can give me some hint/adviste on how to try to resolve the problem?
EDIT: If you are asking yourself why I won't keep the AOSP rom (I'm a lover of AOSP rom), the problem is that the camera (driver? app?) is really bad on LineageOS...

Wrong section
same problem here
I think the problem is in the custom ROM. When I install the original, it works.
Hello all,
my first time posting on XDA, apologies in advance in case the thread isn't in the right location... I did have a search for this issue without much luck, it was never my exact issue or it there was no real answers.
Please go easy on me
So, I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1 / GT-P5110) which I'm using again after installing Lineage OS 13 custom rom to give it some new life. My issue is mainly with Netflix. The device is not rooted and I can find the Netflix app in Google Playstore. I am able to install it and it opens and runs ok as far as the menus and such are concerned. The problem is with video playback - It plays a video for some time (random) but finally it stops, and fades back to black, back out to the home menu. I did see sometimes an error message like 5.2, 5.8 or 5.10 ( and I followed advice for these from online, didn't help) but mostly it just fades to home menu like I described, with no error message.
I have been looking around for a solution to this problem but can't find one that works.
I have tried to install Magisk and Magisk Manager and then hide magisk, and it passed Safety Net, but the video problem still continues in Netflix.
Also, I've tried various other ROMs like Cyanogen Mod 11, Omni Rom, and SlimRom etc but all give the same issue
I realise this is an old device now but it's been well covered in terms of custom ROMs, even up to now.
I find it difficult to understand that there such a high-profile, very popular app like Netflix is giving this probem. There must be a solution, hopefully I just missed something.
Can you please help? Would appreciate any tips or advice!
Cheers
p.s. if @Android-Andi could take a look at my question and offer any advice, that would be great!
@Android-Andi maybe you might have some ideas about this? I'm hoping
