Finally, XDA Developer, pongster updated his build ~ HyperDroid CM7 to v2.1.0 which is based on latest CyanogenMod 7 Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread and using latest Tytung R10 Kernel. As usual, it supports Google Talk v1.3 which has video and voice chat functions.
By the way, I changed it LCD density to 240 because I don’t like the default 167 density. Make sure that you change ro.sf.lcd_density=167 to 240 at build.prop (system folder) before you install the ROM if you want normal screen density.

Download HyperDroid CM7 v2.1.0 [Kernel: Tytung r10] NAND A2SD+ Zip ROM here.
Is it better than Typhoon CM7?
Hard to tell yet as I am still testing it. So far so good.
I think yes it is.
Definitely. The voice/video chat for Talk actually works!
Load the HyperDroid CM7 to v2.1.0 but it hangs up at the black screen with the white andriod symbol and the word android below it……have to pull the battery to get it to reboot….Please help
May I know what have you installed on your phone?
I have MAGLDR v1.11, I think radio 2.15 and clockworkmod v1.2 my carrier is T-mobile US
I tried to set a partition (512) but the 2 files needed are erased…so I added them back but couldn’t get back clockworkmod to load….I reloaded clockworkmod and then copied the zip onto the sd card without a partition….it loaded it through clockworkmod but wouldn’t get past the android screen described above…..
I reloaded JDMS Ultimate Android ROM and am back up and running but would like to work with other loads……
You need to have EXT3 partition on your SD card in order to load this Android ROM.
Jayce thats incorrect, i’m using it with FAT32. Works fine.
Cool… I don’t realize it can work without EXT3 partition. My SD card always has EXT3 partition. 🙂
Hi,
at me same like Duane. Install are fine, but when i want to start Android it Hang UP at Black screen with white Android Symbol. Maybe this version is`nt perfect or just I somthing misst?
This Android ROM is working fine. Maybe you can try to use the latest MAGLDR and CWM.
Not for me…
When i`m using MAGLDR 1.13 and when i try in MAGLDR massstrg mode to copy ROM in SD it stuck. When i downgrade back to 1.11 then gone the problem. CWM at me is 3.0##. In instaliation all is perfect, but when phone try to start Android stuck in black screen with android symbol.
My phone is HTC HD2 LEO512. Yesterday i sit with this ROM at midnight, but nothing hapend… :/
Sorry for my bad English :]
Try to use SD card reader to copy ROM instead of using MAGLDR USB drive mode.
My HTC HD is T8585, not T-Mobile, i gues this ROM dosn`t work on my phone. I`m right?
My HTC HD2 is T8585 too. And it is working fine on mine.
FINALY !!! :]
I`m on CyanogenMod 3.4
Well.. very very THANK YOU Jayce. With your this Blog i understand what a devil mobile phone i have. Just dont stop what you doing. You are great. Thanx a lot again ;]
Sorry for Bad english :/
Got a problem :/
Camcorder does`nt work… When i try to change photo mode to video rec mode phone gives error table: The application Camera (process com.android.camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. And have a button: “Force close”.
Any ideas?
Hmm… I did not test camcorder last time but it should work. You can try to reinstall this Android ROM again or try other Android ROM.
Dear Jayce,
FYI, I’m really fresh at this thing. I have 2 questions for you and hope you can assist me on it:
1. Using your step by step guidance in https://www.jayceooi.com/2011/01/07/how-to-install-nand-android-on-htc-hd2-with-clockworkmod-recovery-video/ , I manage to follow all the instruction till the end from installing HSPL3 to installing the suitable radio version (2.15) then installing MAGLDR and installing clockworkmod recovery. Later, based from your post above, I need to create an ext3 partition on my sdcard. After creating the partition, both the initrd.gz and zImage files will be erased right. So, using the backup data, I copied it back into the sdcard (because I will not be able to enter into clockworkmod recovery if the files are missing). I continue with copying the hyperdroid cm7 zip file into the SD card and continue with the procedure. I manage to enter the Droid boot screen but it hangs there. Can you assist me in resolving the issue.
2. I can always return to SPL 1.66 right? Just need to flash the rom using SPL1.66 from HTC website and everything goes back to normal. Can you confirm?
Thanks Jayce. You have a wonderful website here.
1. Try to wipe data and cache before install this Android ROM. https://www.jayceooi.com/2011/04/20/how-to-wipe-data-cache-with-clockworkmod-recovery-on-htc-hd2/
2. Yes. https://www.jayceooi.com/2011/01/01/how-to-upgrade-htc-hd2-rom-through-sd-card-video/
Hi Jayce,
Good advice. But I realize now that the main problem was during the ext3 partition process. From the xda developers webpage, they advice us to us max 1024. Previously I use the maximum partition. after I limit it to 512 only, I managed to go through. Thanks. Btw, since I’m quite new in NAND rom, I have a few other question for you:
1. How do I connect to the internet using my celcom 3G? I tried the setting but the phone still cannot connect to the internet.
2. My opening lockscreen size is small compare to the screen size. What is the problem? and finally;
3. Can I made the Icon bigger?
Thanks for your help.
1. What did you put there? I have no issue with Celcom 3G on my phone.
2 & 3. I changed it LCD density to 240 because I don’t like the default 167 density. Make sure that you change ro.sf.lcd_density=167 to 240 at build.prop (system folder) before you install the ROM if you want normal screen density.
Sorry to trouble you.. I’ve got the setting from your older post and now it’s working. Thanks. However, do you mind explaining the 2 & 3 procedure. I’m quite lost.
Thanks.
Open the zip. Look for build.prop file. Then edit the ro.sf.lcd_density value.
thanks.. you are most helpful.. very clearly explained.
Hi there Jayce, sorry to bother you again. Currently I’m having problem connecting through wifi and installing android application from the marketplace. What is your advice? One more, can I install seperately any application from sdcard?
What is the error message when connect to Wi-Fi?
Yes, you can install application with apk extension from SD card.
Resolved already.. no need to do anything, guess I have to give the phone some time to adapt with the new rom. Hahaha. Btw, have you tried the MMS? can we mms?
sorry but I don’t see how to edit the build.prop file, i have winrar and my PC can’t open the .prop file..what should I do to change the LCD density?
I use 7-Zip to edit it.
Hi, at this moment, I have TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 and I want to change it to this. How do I save all my apps and data before doing this? Because I don’t want to reinstall everything again.
Try to use Titanium Backup to backup them first.
I downloaded it and On the backup/restore tab I dont know which choice to select can you help me?
Please refer the guide here – http://matrixrewriter.com/wiki/tiki-index.php
When i went to the xda developers site they said you cant use 256 partition size or more for this ROM. SO i went to their thing and flashed the 150mb Rom but once I went to ad recovery and tried to partition the sd card 150mb wasn’t available for me to choose from … all i have is 128,256,512,1024,2048,4096 WHAT DO I DO???
Don’t confuse ClockworkMod Recovery partition and EXT3 partition on SD card. This ROM needs only 150MB ClockworkMod Recovery partition and you can select any size of EXT3 partition on SD card. I am using 500MB. You can choose more if you want.
@zam: I tried MMS on other Android ROM. No issue. Still no chance to try on this ROM yet.
are there any themes for this one cause the stock one is kinda boring
You can download theme from Android Market.
Sorry Jayce, but I don’t understand what’s happening. Always used GBX and had no problem with Wifi. When I installed HyperDroid CM7 v2.1.0 it didn’t work anymore. Now I replaced GBX v12 again and Wifi is working again, so it ain’t a problem with my router. By the way, I’ve got a HTC HD2/LEO.
I can’t find any other complaining about this problem on the internet and I’m sure it’s working with Pongster.
I cleared data and cache when I installed the rom. Any idea?
Could it be a bad installation? Wi-Fi is working for me.
Well, could be. I’ll try it all over again today. Found some people with the same problem on the xda site, but no solution. Did everything as discribed. I’ve got all the latest versions. Now I’ll start with a new download of the rom.
Yeeha, problem solved. I thought I had the correct version of CWM, namely v1.3. I installed this one when I started using GBX. I din’t realize that the 150M version would make the difference, but after I replace the CWM for the 150M version i got WiFi right away.
Thanks for thinking with me.
I am facing two problems with this rom i can’t uninstall my apps and how can i increase the size of the icons
Hmm… I have no issue to uninstall my apps. To increase icon size, change ro.sf.lcd_density=167 to 240 at build.prop (system folder).
i can’t enter the build.prop file in system folder it has an icon like the android market icon
How were you able to get a 261 MB/411 MB as seen on your screencap? I can only get 130MB/411MB on mine — and now down to 111MB after installing some applications. Thanks
Hmm… I also don’t now. It is a fresh installation. FYI, I am using 150MB partition layout for CWM.
ok now i can enter build.prop but cannot find the ro.sf.lcd_density
You can use Root Explorer at phone to edit it. Or 7-Zip at PC before you install this Android ROM.
hi jayce…
i am u r fan…right now i am using typhoon cm7 2.3.4…..now i am changing to hyperdroid..is it advicable to change to this ROM?
is it better than the remaining ROM?
Personally, most of the CM7 Android 2.3.4 ROMs are the same to me. Their different are minor tweak here and there. 🙂
Hi,
Do i have more density options? or only 167 or 240?
Can i use 200?
at 240 it very nice looks like high res. but can i stratch the phone dialpad?
thanks
I think you can select any density that you like. But not all are good for display. Personally, I stick to 240. Stretch the phone dialpad? It is already full size on 240.
i have a question i have a htc hd2 but i wanted to know if i buy a evo would i be able to put android roms like this on it just like the hd2
Sprint HTC EVO? That is a native Android phone. So yes…
so i will just have to install it the same way as the hd2 guide ?
Hmm… Not sure about that since I don’t have one. But should be easier than HD2.
hi jayce
i installled hyperdroid cm7…as u said we must increase the lcd density size to 240 from 167…actuallly i have installled the rom…now i want to change to 240
what should i do?

1) If i create a 1024 partition from CWM will the clock work work after that , as all the files will be deleted from the sd card ? after creating the partition , what procedure should i follow to install the rom frm CWM?
2) As all the files are going to erased after partitioning , how should i copy my hyperdroid zip to Sd card ?
1. Yes, all SD card files will be deleted when you create ext3 partition with ClockworkMod Recovery.
2. Copy it with SD card reader.
will the CWM still work after the partitioning or ill have to put some files back for that too ?
what will be the procedure to install the rom to that partition ?
Yup, you need to put back that 2 files to SD card if you are using CWM v1.2.
I am using 1.3 provided here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
so what do i have to do with this 1 to get it installed and after partitioning ? what files should i put back after partitioning , if required ? I am really confused at this part .
Just copy the Android ROM that you want to install at SD card will do since you are using CWM v1.3.
Thanks will give it a try .
how to install TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.3.6.
Same like this ROM.
TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.3.6 is not downloaded in zip ROM form.
Then you are downloading the wrong one…
also i downloaded Ultimate Droid 3.3 NAND Android A2SD+ Zip ROM for HTC HD2 but the files JawsMIUIrec1.0.7z and .data folder given in the installation procedure, were not found when i unzipped the file. any help?
No need to upzip it. Just copy it to SD card will do.
Finally i got TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.3.6 installed on my hd2. it is great. thanks jayce
3.3.6 is very OLD.
I use 3.4.0
More about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
ROM is awesome, and i dont want other :]
i got that 3.4.0 rom from xda-dev site. but the guide lines given for installation is not working as it is. i the procedure of installing 3.3.6 will work?
Is there any way to make a bigger internal storage?
Use 150MB CWM partition layout and create EXT3 partition on SD card.
Finally Hyper Droid 🙂 !
1 ) How can i check the running programs in it , and how to close them ?
2) How to log out of face book ?
3) How to stop the dial pad vibration & unlock screen vibration when the screen is tapped ?
Got the solution to all this .
1) But cant we put full screen wallpapers on it ?
2) And no custom ring tones ? Any way to apply music file as ring tone ?
1. Not sure about this. Sorry…
2. Use Ringdroid – https://www.jayceooi.com/2011/01/19/how-to-create-custom-ringtones-alarms-and-notification-sounds-for-android/
1. Get a free app from the Android Market called “Advanced Task Killer”
2. Go to Facebook app and press the Windows button and tap “Logout “
@ Collin
Thanks I already got this .
Only prob I am having is to place wallpapers on it , I am not able to put actual screen size wallpapers , have to place it according to the grid that come which spoils the look .
i had created 1000mb partition of sd card, will it work?
Delete that partition and create a partition using ClockworkMod Recovery. Here’s how to install it: https://www.jayceooi.com/2011/01/06/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-htc-hd2-video/
To create a partition, look at this: https://www.jayceooi.com/2011/01/12/how-to-create-ext3-partition-on-sd-card-with-clockworkmod-recovery/
i installed TyphooN_CM7_v3.4.1-MAGLDR on my leo- htc hd2, but faced many problems. like it could not be installed as the way it is instructed to do so. using clockworkmod. installing task29 before fails in installation of android. thow the hole process goes smoothly but after installing the zip from clockworkmod, the phone keeps on restarting first, and later after reinstallation it just give error and stops at magladr screen. i have to reinstall the original leo rom. and than restarted the process. first installed magldr, than clockworkmod, and than through clockworkmod installed the zip. also i created a 4000mb prtition on sd card with clockworkmod, is it fine?. also tell me is the kernal based on gingerbread or ubuntu?
The actual android version is 2.3.4.
what is different between an A2SD+ zip ROM and without A2SD ROM?
Jayce please comment
ROM without A2SD+ does not use EXT3 partition on SD card. So every application is stored at internal storage.
I did not try 4GB but 512MB and 1GB is working fine on TyphooN builds.
thanks for reply. i created a 4GB partion on SD card and so far it is working ok. i got two files from xda dev site, one is TyphooN_CM7_v3.4.1-MAGLDR installation of which fails to work and the other was TyphooN_CM7_v3.4.1-cLK that successfully installed. but none of those were A2SD. also tell me is the kernal with TyphooN_CM7_V3.4.1 is based on gingerbread or ubuntu?
It should be Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread.
thanks, and is it A2SD or not?
Yes, if you have EXT3 partition on your SD card.
i created ext3 partion with clockWM before installation the android, how can i conform?
Use DiskUsage to check – https://www.jayceooi.com/2011/04/30/diskusage-check-android-phone-storage-space-usage/
thanks, i checked it, the ext3 partion is empty. apps are installed in the phone memory. there is any way to transfer those to ext3 partition?
Having some problems :
1) The application camera ( process com.android.camera ) has stopped unexpectedly . Video cam not working .
2) The options that appears when we tap the home screen or a icon on it ( to edit them or remove them ) are not popping up .
Any solutions ?
1. Works fine for me! Are you using the T-Mobile HD2 or the European HD2? I am using the European one. Also try reinstalling the ROM.
Can i do a factory reset ?
I think so.
Is there a way to change the density once its installed? Also, if I wanted to put music from my PC onto the phone, what do I need to do?
You can edit it this way – https://www.jayceooi.com/2011/06/12/how-to-edit-root-file-on-android-the-free-way/
Just plug USB cable and mount it as USB storage to copy music there.
1. Download a free app called “LCDDensity for Root” on the Android Market.
2. Don’t think you can….
1) I did a factory reset but nothing changed in my phone all the setting remain the same , what should i do ?
2) Pls tell me how can i reinstall hyperdroid ( i already have it installed right now on my Hd2 ) but what ca i do to reinstall it safely ?
1. Did you do that in ClockworkMod Recovery?
2. https://www.jayceooi.com/2011/04/20/how-to-wipe-data-cache-with-clockworkmod-recovery-on-htc-hd2/
I did a from the Rom only , from Privacy settings .
Try to do it at ClockworkMod Recovery see.

@Athar: Sorry, I have no idea to move apps from internal memory to EXT3 partition.
how to install HyperDroid CM7 ?? pls help me.
Please take your time to read the article… 😉
is it okay to tell someone how did i change my phone to android? im just worried due to copyright,,,
Why not? Just make sure that you revert back to stock WinMo when need to send back for warranty.
Whenever I go to the Market, it force closes. How do I fix this?
Hmm… I don’t have issue with Market on this ROM. Maybe you need to reinstall this ROM again to fix it.
Many thanks for the icon size tip (ro.sf.lcd_density=167 to 240) i luv the rom but the icons were too small so it was great to be able to change em to a bigger size
Hey , Jayce
I am having a slight problem , using Hyperdriod :
– I selected a song as a ringtone from the options in the music player,i got the ring tone but i dont know in which directory it is being saved , now its always showing the song in my ringtone profiles , so how can i remove it ?
– When using Ringdroid App to make ringtones same thing is happening , earlier it use to be saved in a folder named Ringdroid but now there is no folder and i also removed the app , but i still dont know where all my songs are being saved as a ring tone .
Look for media folder on your SD card.
