Hey all. Yes, before any of you say ANYTHING, I know this has been asked before...many times. But with searching, I have not been able to find a definitive answer to my query. We all know that if you run Android on the stock 2.13 T-Mobile ROM that you will get the whole robot voice through the earpiece...but my question is WHY does this happen? I have read that it is something to do with some .dll's within Windows...which would make sense as to why some ROMs work with it but others wont...but how is WinMo messing with Android if HaRET unloads WinMo from RAM before it starts Android. Maybe my understanding of it is wrong, I do not know. Basically I want to know for my own knowledge as to why it happens, and maybe offer some assistance. If it is something as "simple" as a .dll conflict, then maybe there is a workaround for existing users of the 2.13/.14 ROMs. I am one of those people, and through my flashing of the HD2, have found 2.13 to pretty much be the fastest and most stable for my uses, but I would also like to use Android. Anyways, in short, if someone can point me to exactly why this happens, maybe I can help out. Thanks.

I have used radio 2.12 and 2.14 with success. I have never experienced the robot voice. However I never used android with stock roms.

I'm using vbn droid rom (minimal install of winmo) along with Hyperdroid build 1.6. I've used superhd2 build also successfully.

not sure about the robot voice

not sure why the sound gets screwed up but......I know you can run the newer stock 3.14 leaked update and it will work with android and you can keep a fully stock rom on your phone and get android too.
