It is dual boot. You need to launch the Android boot from Windows. You can just keep a clean lean Window rom if you do not want to use it

Imagine I paid RM2899 for it when it was launch in Dec 09 !!!

One very noob question, if we run android from the memory card, will it save all the settings? i mean do we need to re-configure everything after restart?

What about apps that are installed from market? will it retain after shutting down the phone?

I bought mine for RM2699 rclxub.gif

It just works like any android phone with same features and functions. The android system is inside the phone, the sd card will store your data and programs ( if you have selected to install on card). At each reset there is no loss of data. Think of using it just as a android phone, forget about the windows. Windows only needed to boot into the android o/s. You can alternate use the windows mobile if you wish.
All apps are downloaded to card and apps install by default into phone. With veer 2.2 froyo you have option to install or force install onto card depending which rom you used. Official froyo allow install to card depend on developer whether they have upgraded app to install on card. In principle all system apps and widgets install to phone
What about the version posted in your blog and installed in your hd2?

can it install app to sd by default or do i need special software to do it?

Besides, I am using energy rom now, do i need to hard reset my phone, reformat my card
etc etc to run android smoothly?

Sorry for asking so many question, first time trying to run android on wm. scare anything goes wrong tongue.gif

same here,

the android on my hd2 was so choppy,

screen turns off intermittently,

scrolling was so laggy,

after standby cannot wake up etc etc.

Now I am trying to reformat the memory card and try again.

The funny thing is, I ran the quadrant test and the score was surprisingly
higher than my galaxy S running on android 2.1 though galaxy s is much
smoother tongue.gif

On card /media/ audio copy soundfiles to alarms or notifications or ringtones to
Enable sound you wish.  If no such folder create it. Newbies to android suggest visit nexus or htc desire thread post 1 learn basics. For pc detect phone you must install android sdk link I given few posts up


Added on August 11, 2010, 8:01 amChoppy usually due to sdcard. Reformat with tool I given few posts up. If still such means r7om issue

I face lag in my first test too. Gave up using it. Few days later I reformat card n try new roms. It is OK now that's why i said is now a working useable rom. There is no lag. Superb and very fluid and is  equally match my nexus.

Hi benny,

I found the android to be real choppy though formatted the SD twice,

I suspect its my winmo rom that is conflicting with it.

Anyway,

do you think it has anything to do with the class 2 memory card i am using?

Do i need a higher class?

Xander : if you can install radio successfully means you are doing it right. If radio install fail the flash will not complete. I don't think radio affects the Bluetooth pairing. Did you try to reconnect and pair from PC. I am using Mac so can't say about windows

Frank possibly as much of the data on sdcard and system reads from it. I did an analysis of phone n card before and after install android. The android files took up about 260mb on card, phone 110 Mb. It is recommended to use at least class 4 card. Infact google suggests class 6 for latest veer 2.2. I am using a sandisk class 4
The windows rom I believe affect as before that I also use Miri but a heavily customized by elegance. The lag dissapear after I change to the plain Miri rom

Hey,

remember the sdk u mentioned? how to get it work? I downloaded the sdk and install all the file in the SDK setup thing but still cant detect my phone?

Maybe i will get a class 4 card and try

Did you check your setting  /connect to pc ?

Default is charge only. Other choices are - htc sync, disk drive or usb thethe

in the same screen you can also select ASK ME

Do i still need to set up anything besides installing the SDK and the all the available package?

It doesnt work.

NO idea then. It should work without any issues. What O/S are you using. It works on Mac OSX 10.5 , 10.62 and Windows notebook ( Win 7), desktop XP. If Vista - I have read many problematic issues but I dunno about this cos I don't have vista.
You can also try to UNMOUNT the sd card and MOUNT it back : Settings/SD & Phone storage

I am trying it at windows 7 professional and windows 7 starter, still no luck sad.gif

Btw, should I choose it to connect as disk drive as default?

Why don't you try ? Actually I never bother as I have no such issues. BTW what Android rom are you on ? Did you try another rom ?

The same rom as you posted in your blog.

Froyostone I think.

Cant remember the name.

Tried all I can but still couldnt connect it to my comp.

Its ok, for the sake of using android in my HD2,

I will reboot it when I need to copy file into the memory card tongue.gif

Cos they offer better service. and they would probably process your unit foc knowing you have hspl it. Several members in this forum had confirm that. They change my dopod u1000 motherboard foc when I honestly told them I screwed up SPL it then. I bought the dopod in kl but still under warranty. That was 3 years ago. You can try your luck if htc kl wants to charge you.

Wow, that was nice, FOC motherboard though you HSPL-ed it?

my touch cruise was charged for RM450 for the motherboard when I screwed my hspl sad.gif

If anything happens to my HD2 i will go to this centre tongue.gif

Don't blame the hardware! At 1 GHz, if HD2 can't hack it not many other device can. biggrin.gif  By default and using original ROM, HD2 is quite buggy.
Try this Chainfire Turbo3D patch. It should boost your device performance. There are many other tweaks that can also boost the performance. Google XDA.

To faizpsp89,

what DrWho said was absolutely right,

you'll never know how fast the HD2 can be without trying out the cooked rom.

Your HD2 will fly when you flash to a cooked rom,

just like unleashing the real power of a ferrari drool.gif

I thought digi wont charge a cent even if you exceeded monthly quota? They will only throttle your speed.

Everything oneĀ  in all guide here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713977 . Just check up the appropriate links. You won't find anything simpler and better than this

Where and when you bought it ? There are so many types of roms, even in one region. There is no default - is different for different region. Best is ask your seller who sold to you. Actually you should have taked down all the radio and rom details first before you flash and have a backup copy of both radio and rom. Now only can guess based on area you buy and when you buy it.

Uninstallation
Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.
- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.

Official ROM 1.48.707.2 (71294) WWE
From Here

Actually you can go to HTC website here ---> http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportDownload.asp...cat=2&dl_id=854

and key in your serial number. It will then give you the latest compatible ROM (non-Tmous) to download. This is officially from HTC and should not void any warranty. Flashing official ROM will install rom, spl and radio. So your hspl will be removed.

Thanks for the help.

I bought it at KL @ Dec'09

I remember there was one official update that comes with radio, will install that update and try my luck


Added on August 25, 2010, 11:11 pmHey guys,

take a look at this:

user posted image

Do you people think I will be able to ask for a screen replacement or not?

Its pretty obvious that a few spots display brighter colours.

This is especially so when I put pure white/ pure red / pure blue

The touch screen is not malfunctioning at all, just that the colour abit weird

Added on August 25, 2010, 11:15 pmI highlighted the malfunction spot.
