Greetings,
I would like to ask couple of things about the HTC work on the Android OS.First of all,as far as i can understand,Hero users wont be able to update firmware from "mother" Android,but they will have to wait HTC to release their own one.If this is correct,lets continue to the next step of the question.
Hero is a brand new phone and as it seems there will be more HTC phones based on this specific tweaked OS of the company.In other words,HTC will not let this fall free anytime soon.Continuing my thinking from the first part of the question,i might say that HTC will release updates maybe more often than Android firm it self.
Thanks for reading forgive my bad English
Are HTC developing any more 'official' ROMS for the HD, or is this device now no longer 'current' and therefore not going to recieve ROM updates?
Im happy to use cooked ROMS and really like some of the custom ROMS out there but was hoping that HTC was going to keep supporting this device a little longer than they currently have,

I think they're phasing out on Touch HD soon so I highly doubt that they will release new updates for this rom. I know how you feel. One year is not really that long ago, but in the mobile world, it is. A year old model like Touch HD is obsolete in the mobile world.
Besides, I read somewhere that HTC will not be doing so, so I guess that's it. lol
Hi everyone,
I'm new to Android having got my HTC Tattoo during the week.
I'm wondering if there is any way to get Android 2 (Eclair) onto my Tattoo? I've googled for it but there's only instructions for the Hero.
I don't care if its a vanilla ROM without Sense UI. I'm just looking for an update to help improve battery life and bluetooth functionality (plus I like to have all the latest versions of things ).
I emailed HTC about it and they said they couldn't confirm if the Tattoo was getting the update (which probably means it won't...)
Also, I'd rather not use a buggy beta ROM .
Thanks in advance,
Keith
PS: I know people managed to get a V2 ROM onto the G1 by rooting but I presume it's differen for the Tattoo because the different screen size, addition of FM radio etc.
Its been 2 years now and I still love my HD2 , i spend more time using android on it now but I love the fact i can install wm6.5 , android and wp7 etc
battery life has always been an issue but the main problem has been signal (due to o2 uk) which means its time for me to switch provider and most likely get a new phone .. has anyone got any suggestions for a phone that will not make me miss my hd2 ?
Well...
As far as being able to run multiple OS's I think the HD2 is the last of it's kind (the first of it's kind for that matter). But for me I am loving WP7 Mango so I'm looking forward to a WP7 to come out on T-Mo USA. When i get one I'll just use my trusty Leo for Android . If you're looking for an Android phone i think the HTC Ruby is the best IMO and will probably get ICS sometime in the future.
To be honest with you hd2 1 of a kind... I rocked the sensation for 2 months... don't get me wrong dual core.... great phone... I just went back to the hd 2 and I miss it I love it so much better than the sensation.... don't know why just feel so much better do use.... plus the fact that you can rip this rom from windows to android.... the only other thing that I would try the galaxy 2 s or the new galaxy nexus

Yes the Galaxy Nexus looks a good device, except no SD card slot & Android 4.0 is looking to have some interesting new inbuilt useful features & about time UI changes.
Being you are Android user just get what ever device is available to you with the latest android & that should also have good XDA development ...
Hi Folks, The time has come to formally retire my HD2. It’s been 3+ years since I bought the unit from T-Mobile , not brand new but a refurbished one. So far to date, no hardware trouble yet and will still that way since it will be just in my drawer and will serve as a backup.
The successor is a brand new Nexus 5, 32GB with 2Gig of memory – a very, very fast unit. I already rooted it, still with the Stock Rom on it, but eventually will taste other Nexus 5 ROMS out there.
My HD2 obviously will miss all the flashing activities that it is used to, from WM to Android ROMS – GB, ICS, GB, KK.
I’d like to thank first Tytung for all his hard work keeping our HD2 up to date with the latest ROM in the market.
Thanks also to other HD2 developers/ROM builders/testers, to name a few that in one way or another I used their ROMs or interact with – Dorimanx, Pongster, Xylograph, AmeriCanAndroid, securecrt, boxmax, mccmjoon76, Learning Never Ends team (Robbie P, wis1152, c1cl0n), boonbing, kovjanos, mark1706, tyween, kokotas, sbrayn12144, mskip, xboxmod (WM7).
And lastly thanks to Cotulla, for the creation of his MAGLDR masterpiece.
Thanks gasanpride, best of luck with your new phone. Happy flashing
