Android on HD2 updates + ROMs + Builds

Has anyone noticed any improvements thus far in v5? I'm downloading now and will give it a go. It seems the more you boot a particular build, the worse the performance gets. I ran v4 last night for a few hours straight and using the phone the whole time, while today I couldn't boot without immediately recieving force close errors for the android system process.

In other news: Have the newest desire build running fully. Changed radio to 2.10 and that brought back the ability to configure apn. Gained consistent audio in the earpiece but lost speakerphone. Running Steve and Miri's Elegancia Rom 6.5.x

I was in there the other day returning my wife's loaner phone from when wirefly sent us a doa hd2 and I overheard a couple of CS guys talking to customers about how android was better and they had to return their hd2 because it wasn't for them.
Hard to sell a product you don't understand.

i tried miris rom and that has duel volume and it allowed me to turn both volumes up and down
so basically you can use any rom and if it dont have duel volume then install the task bar turn both volumes all the way down then up and load droid
after u can uninstall the tb
i have nrg 6.5x glass rom using duel boot and v4 and all sound is working even media
only thing and i wonder if anybody else getting this im not getting the battey to charge while on droid

can't you just go under the settings and change the volume settings?
settings/ sounds and displays/ under volume, toggle Single Volume.

Sense Version 5 is out, grab it from the link on first post, It is AMAZING speed is fast, everything works on my setup, voice is crisp and clear, getting fast 3G, HSPA, it charges just fine, running Sense UI with LWP and lots of widgets and it is still running fast off a class 2 SD. This build is just great!

I've been running it since about 6pm last night and i haven't had 1 problem yet. Haven't made a call yet to see if you need to do the volume up/down trickery but everything else works great!

Finally made a call and it works great...you also don't need to do the volume up/volume down trickery in Windows before booting Android to get the voice working!

Very true, from my experiences, there are very few people who work for tmo (or any carrier for that matter) who know windows or have taken the time to learn the phones. The majority of people I saw buy the phone when it released were buying it for the screen and had no idea how to use the phone.

V5 does seem faster than v4. Was able to load without any immediate force closes but still having the problem of not being able to get to some menus, mainly the apn to configure data. Doing a restart and trying again.

I haven't had this problem at all.

what specific problem are you running into with this?

It seems on the initial boot the windows hard key only pops up the menu on specific screens for me. I power cycled the device, went back in and was able to access the menus and configure without any problems. Haven't had any force closes on this boot either. It may be just the combination of rom and radio I am using that is causing the problem. Not sure what this build has changed within the touchscreen parameters but I can now play Fishin2Go just like it was on an actual android device. No more downtime at work!

I have tried sense since version 0.5 and I can say v.5 is good. In short of a few months Android has developed faster than ever. Heck even beating the touch pro 2 progress. It's still have issues and I will use windows mobile but I like having choices in my OS. Though I would love the x10 or the meego OS on it, HTC sense works too.
