wm007: StocK ROM v1.66, radio 2.12, Mdeejay Froyo HD 3.6

Hi all,

I just want to share my experience with Mdeejay 3.6 build with r7.4. The build is perfect (except carema which likely to resolve soon), wifi log in the very fast. After upgade the Kernel to r7.4 _TEST-TS_LAG, the scrolling lag in almost gone (in fact I did notice it on r7.4 after watching youtube). Well it is not as fast as my WM6.5 but it is the faster till date. Tyr it and you will love it. The battery life is also very very good. 100% charge at 1am and by 7am, it only drop to 98%. I will monitor the battery life with the new kernel and report back.

This is my experience, hope it helps you to make a right choice.

I converted my HD2 to Android and I must say I am very happy. I am currently using Mdeejay Desire HD v3.7 with Hastarin r8. the result is really good, no hang, no freeze, no music shuttering, internet is seemingly faster than other Hastarin's Kernels (I tried many of his build and find v3.7 is the best).

I compared by HD2-Android with SGS and in my opinion SCS is laggy.

I also compare my with Desire, the experience is about the same (both are HTC Sense), but I find HD2-Android is more responsive. This is base on Hastarin 7.7.

Having say that, I suggest to get class 6 SD class if you decide on HD2-Android.

In case you are interested on WM7, I tried it at Singtel shop during the weekend and I am not impress. If you like playing game on phone, then WP7 could be a good consideration. Having say that, my experience with short and my opinion may not be correct. It is best you try it out at StarHub and Singtel shop (they only hv LG model).

Note: There is no Camera on Desire HD on HD2. Dev is still working in it.

There are few methods to upgrade the Kernel. You can do a search in xda forum. However, this is what I am using and may not be the best method....(you can use ES explorer or any file manager software as long as you see the files/folder as mentioned below)

- USB link to PC and select Disk Drive

- copy the whole extracted folder to sdcard (the folder name is hastarin_r8). I create a folder in sdcard to store the kernel folder.

- disconnect the USB

- using root explorer, copy the zImage from hastarin_r8 folder to Android folder.
Ie
From: /sdcard/Android Kernel/hastarin_r8/zImage
To: /sdcard/Android/
(replace the zImage file)

- copy the bcm4329.ko and tun.ko from hastarin_r8 to
ie
From: /sdcard/Android Kernel/hastarin_r8/root/system/lib/modules/ bcm4329.ko and tun.ko
To: /system//lib/modules/
(replace the bcm4329.ko and tun.ko, you have to copy and paste the file one by one)

- Power off the phone and restart

yes, I have the same problem on MDJ DHD v3.7. It froze randomly and unfreeze when the other party hang up the phone. No solution found yet.

for those have problem to sync contact, appointment, etc, you can try myphone explorer. It works on both Sence and non sense android.

Hi edan,
Need your help on how to use paragon partition manager 11 to change ext3 to ext4 or create partition. Thanks.

I formated the sd card with sd formater, use minitool to create a 2G ext3 partition on my 8G sd card. But in PPM, I can't see the ext3 partition. The program does not recognize the partition, it still show 7.4G unused.

I google search the issue but can't find workable answer to my problem.

This is due to missing driver in WM7. I can't post the link here as i have lose it. You can do a google search, download & install. However, please note that not all wifi tethering work with the OS you installed. For example, i am currently using AmercanAndroid 052111 SD build, the wifi tethering (v14) that come with build does not work for me, i have to change it to v12.

Edit: I found the link.
