Maybe I shouldn't post this thread here(or even at all for that matter), but I don't think there is a dedicated Android section for HD2 yet? **MODS DO WHAT YOU SEE FIT WITH THIS THREAD. THANKS:cool:

DUAL BOOT
yes, JMZ

So far for me the Desire v5 has been rock solid. I've had only one person say they hear an echo from me. This was after I loaded the JMZ cab. Don't know if that's the reason? Everything else works pretty stable enough for me. I can't save pictures from the internet though (save as-- get's an error and forces a quit).

Froyo with the latest Cotulla zImage runs good too. I like it alot better(v1) but market place will not download apps and mobile network internet works kindof. I can't login to certin sites, Facebook for one but the facebook app works fine. WiFi all sites work. I do already have my t-mo APNs in there.


WHAT WORKS FOR YOU= ROMS AND ALL?

PS are these ROMs considered rooted?:cool:

I assure you that this thread is useful.

For me: I'm using Energy Rom (July 21) with Radio 2.12.50.02_2 and HSPL 2 and everything works fine except the Battery.. Desire v5 is kinda using alot of battery and Dans build is much worse and it kinda lags and things, and since i'm having that Sleep of death thing... i deleted it :)

That was my opinion :p

Hi, I'm using Desire V5, works like a charm. Unique problem is battery drain (lasts 8 hours with no data connection).
My settings: a 4GB class 2 SD, radio 2.12.50.02_2. The rom is the Axlor Leo v3.5 (win 23569). I can't hear people speaking in the phone, but they can hear me (but I know it's a winmo ROM problem)

First let me say I find this thread very useful. I'd like to see more threads like this that follow a certain build (dan1j3l Froyo Desire Build, darkstone Eclair Desire Build, Froyo build by dan1j3l V1, etc). Then you throw in the variable of the zImage you're using. Otherwise you end up with 2 or 3 discussions with 500 posts.

Back on topic, I have desire v5 and Cotulla_zImage_CABDET_NOSPEEDDY.rar
Even with a 16gig class 2 microSD, it's fast.
Working:
Exchange mail (contacts, calendar, email)
IMAP and POP mail
Wifi even with DHCP (very fast)
3G data
Android Market
Camera, Camcorder
Call audio on phone.
Very few stutters, no sleep of death.
Presence sensor
GPS
Compass seems a little flakey, but works
Typing is very responsive
USB charging
Wired headset audio

Not Working:
USB data connecti0n to transfer files.
Bluetooth headset connects, but no audio in calls (pretty universal issue on all builds)

This combo, with my radio and ROM are fast and stable enough for daily use. Unfortunately the lack of Bluetooth audio is a deal-breaker.

Exactly same ROM/RAM but using Leo_RADIO_2.07.50.27_2.

Everything works great but I don't seem to get GPS working with Google Navigation. How to test if GPS is working?

I'm using stock wimo from htc 1.66, only updated the radio rom to 2.10.50.19.2. I'm using now dan1j3l-LeoFroyo-Sense-PR1 and it works good. There are some things bugging me. Can't get GPS to work, camera does not work, and with this build i get diferent icons on top (battery and signal) then with the stock nexus one rom, is this a cab that has to be uninstalled.
I'm can already switch between sense and stock, so thats good.
For the rest everyting works well and i would say that it is for me almost a daily use rom.
Anybody any idea how to get gps working and camera?

Issues

Using Dans Froyo with the latest zimage (25/7).

This is on Xannytech 2.3 and radio 2.12.

known issues are
  1. Robotic voice. (Any tricks guys?)
  2. Torch/flash does not work
  3. GPS.

The rest seems good.

your camcorder is working in desire v5 also you say your GPS is working? Really or is it just when your on WiFi? If those 2 really work, please tell me how to get mine working? Thanks

latest ROOTFS.IMG perpetuates reading battery status so reverted back to respective eclair and froyo packages.

dan1j3l-LeoFroyo-Sense-PR1

cams do not work

desirebuild_v5

cams working

both versions are rock stable

wifi, bluetooth, 3g, wcdma/umts, hsdpa/hsupa, texts, calls, battery charging works

will continue with tests and findings on

gps, mms and other stuff

on a personal note

still prefer winmo's sense than andy's

but i can tell ya all android was meant for hd2

with it's big and well spaced ui it's just perfect

and having dualbooting winmo and andy is just sweet

that being the case does anybody knows how to switch to launchpro mode after setting sense as default please

I didn't do anything special. When I started my Android journey, I couldn't get anything to load. Then I realized I had an outdated radio. I've always liked Dutty's ROMs so I loaded the one below and the most recent radio I could find.

I boot into WinMO. I already have HTC Sense killed because I just use SPB Mobile shell. I kill SPB Mobile shell and press CLRCAD.exe, then Haret.

I retested to make sure they're working. The GPS isn't working off WiFi. Google Maps always knows where I'm at and weather location is always where I'm at. I'm assuming GPS is working then.

However, I may be mistaken about the camcorder. I fires up and I and zoom in/out. However, double clicking the screen and it doesn't seem to be recording to memory.

to switch between sence and stock interface if that is what you mean.
---> settings ->Applications ->manage applications ->All ->HTC sense -> Force stop. then select the home button and there you can select HTC sense or Launcher.
