Yeah… Thanks to XDA Developer, tytung. We can have AGPS feature on Android HTC HD2 now in his latest project ~ GPS Libraries for HD2 Gingerbread. It should work on Android Froyo and Gingerbread. I tested with TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.3.6 which comes with tytung’s GPS lib v1.2. The result… I am getting faster GPS lock with PAPAGO! navigation. And I can even get GPS lock in my room where cannot get a lock previously. WOW!
Do you know how do CM7 + Sense look like? Well, you can see it for yourself with BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA GINGER-SENSE_S NAND Android ROM. It combines both of the wonderful worlds into one. Basically, it is CyanogenMod 7 ROM + LauncherPro Sense UI. There are People, Bookmarks, Calendar, Messaging, Twitter, Facebook, Friends and Gmail LauncherPro Sense Widgets to choose. A nice combination for those wants HTC Sense look and CM7 performance.
Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread (GRJ22) is the latest and greatest Android for phone. Here are the best Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread NAND Android ROM for HTC HD2. All of them are equipped with Google Talk v1.3 which support video and voice chats. They are based on Google Nexus One, CyanogenMod 7 and MIUI. Download and install to try them out…
CyanogenMod is one of my favorite mod. It is a customized, aftermarket firmware distribution for several Android devices. But not for HTC HD2 officially yet (but coming soon). So HTC HD2 is still using HTC Desire build. Just in case that you might don’t know, CyanogenMod has these wonderful features ~ Lockscreen Gestures, Phone Goggles, OpenVPN, Incognito Mode, Themes Support and DSP Equalizer. Thanks to XDA Developer, tyween for bringing all these goodies to us. TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 RC2+ is based on latest Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread and using tytung R7 Kernel.
HTC HD2 is a great phone. You can run stock Windows Mobile 6.5 on it. Err… WinMo 6.5 is a little bit outdated. No worry, you can install custom ROMs like Android and Windows Phone 7. Personally, I don’t recommend WP7 unless you need to use a killer app only build for it (but I doubt that). So Android OS is the one that you should get. And here are the latest and greatest Android ROM based on Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread that you should try.
