[SOLVED] Help - Which Android on HTC TP2 !!

[huzefa_from_kuwait]

Hello people,

I have an HTC TP2 on which I run FRX07.1 XdAndroid but it is extremely slow (or maybe perhaps now we have been habituated to expect faster responses with the latest Ghz Processors). I think if it was directly on the phone it would be faster.

So is there a way that rather than booting windows first and running haret.exe , we can put this FRX (or something that is faster) directly in the mobile instead of windows. All I need to run is Viber and WhatsApp.

I have tried the Gingerbread of the same XdAndroid and that is even slower.

I have read a lots of posts and I am completely lost, just can't understand what, where and how

Apologies for being such a noob.

Thanks.

I know how you feel; I'd kill for a TouchPro2 style keyboard on the latest crop of HTC/Samsung smart phones but we're in the minority so I'm guessing a good physical keyboard are over...I had FRX71 installed on my Rhodium, currently I have NRGZ28's EnergyROM which is excellent by the way and i was looking at selling my Rhodiums with a NAND install of a stable Android OS variation and was asking myself what is a good ROM for the device. The device is slower than the current models for obvious reasons but I was using CoPilot Navigator on my as a GPS device and an emergency backup should I need to. It's going to kill me to part ways with them...best phone I've ever used from the practical sense of what a phone is. I must admit the HD2 spoiled me...what that device can do is simply amazing for what is now a 4 year old device.

All I have to say to the OP - the phone is old. Try a different SD card - you want one with the fastest random read/write performance.

Let the phone settle once you boot. If the phone is trying to multitask - IE pull in contacts / calendar / etc from Google, it will be SLOW. C'est la vie, the SoC is ancient when the device was released.

Thank you a lot for your replies.

I have tried the guide by wizardknight however I am stuck and will post the question in that forum regarding it.

Thanks Again.

Yes it turned out to be an incompatible card.

I changed my old 4gb card with a 2gb one, and I tested by booting both FRX and GBX from this card and its much (actually much much) faster.

Thanks.

I successfully NAND installed OGBX on my Rhodium using a 16 gig and a 4 gig SD card and don't get me wrong, what you folks have done is simply amazing but there too is reality and we all know we're never going to see the Rhodium form factor again and that's a shame because the keyboard just made that device a dream to use. It's too slow. That said, I still possess three of them; one verizon wireless and two - T-Mobile; I run NRGZ28's EnergyROM on all of them now and run CoPilot Nav on all of them as GPS devices. As you see from my signature I own a Windows Phone too and as I get ready to move my wife permanently to the upcoming HTC One (M7), it's stunning that every program that supposedly won't run on WP7.x runs on Windows Mobile 6.5...Skype, Pandora...both to this day run on my Rhodiums. I own an HD2 too and currently have NRGZ28's EnergyROM Android on it and was blown away as to how eerily similar it was to his WM custom roms and that's all I wanted; I can't stand that generic interface every Android device has. I want my devices to look gorgeous and he delivers. All that's left to do is to decide whether I will sell the Rhodiums with Android on them or not. It's a damn shame the form factor isn't in the current crop of new devices.
