If android does come to the HD2...will they also be able to bring the android market and google sync with? So u can have all the apps that android provides?
Let me get into my time machine and find out for you.
brb.
There is a Q&A forum for this kind of threads. And looks like an Android Development forum for HD2 is on it's way
It would depend on the app and the hardware that it might need to use. Android when ported to a phone it was not intended not all the hardware works or works perfectly.
I am an active Dev in the Vogue android forum (just look)
I'm jholtom
I am thinking about getting an HD2 for Development and other fun stuff.
Is it a good dev phone and such?
Would I find a transition from Vogue to HD2 smooth or difficult in terms of rom cooking?
Thanks
jholtom
Well WinMo cooking has kind of died off when android appeared. And now that WP7 is available too, you can expect WinMo to be less popular.
Onto topic, yes it is a fun dev phone. If it weren't, we couldn't have had android and WP7 on our phones so fast. (Thank you DFT )
ok great that means i should assimilate quick with all the activity
I may be a new Dev on HD2 soon
1) You are trying to mention that you're developer in a lot of your post, you think that would save you from beeing called to use search etc? Which moves be to 2 and 3.
2) Use search, read forums, you will find lots of information on development etc na dwould see that HD2 is really good for it.
3) Learn to name your topics "[Q] HD2" is obviously better then usual "please help" that people post, but still far from "[Q] ROM cooking on HD2 compared to Vogue"
PS your only thread as "Dev" has only 1 url to build which is broken and leads to this url is invalid or file was removed.
I have a working espresso build as well as a froyo sense build for the vogue as of now neither has been done. I have just not finished posting all of them yet.
I also have a successful Miui theme and setup for the vogue.
I am in the middle of Exams and have not been able to release my roms yet
So, after having my fix of Android, I've decided to move onto a Windows phone. Just to expierence something new. Hopefully picking up the AT&T HD7s tomorrow, any reviews on that to start out?
But as the topic states, have a few questions that wil most likely refer to android since ofcourse I'm more familiar with that.
First things first, is there a thing as such as rooting/jailbreaking a Windows phone?
What about roms?
Also, i've read a lot about the Mango update, do most phones have that now?
And finally, whats your favorite feature, and what are some good apps to have that the Android market doesnt really have.
I appreciate anyone who answers all of this. I'll toss a thanks because I am sure there are threads out there that answer all this, but it'd be nice to have a few collective thoughts all in once place.
Hey check where are you posting on!
Nor this is a general forum for windows mobile or windows phone or android. This forum is about Development and Hacking on Windows Mobile.
You're query seems to be related to windows phone so post in Windows Phone 7 General, WP7 Q&A or Forum General.
Mods, please move the thread and keep the forum clean.
Thanks...
Best Regards

Sorry if this been answered before but this looks so much better and was wondering whether hd2 will be getting the same feature or if its already in development ...
Their is currently a project for something similar being ported to the hd2.
It's a little different though.

Thanks that is pretty similar
I haven't read the forum to really 'know' this, but the only problem I can see is that all roms are written for CWM now where this may use a different type install..
There are several old threads about dual-booting, and using this particular phone. I want Windows 6.5 or less and/or a desktop version of windows (because of certain apps)... and Android 4.0+ Is it possible? Would this phone be too slow... Is there a better phone that could do it? Is there no phone that could do it?

I'm not sure about desktop Windows but as for Android just place the ROM folder on the root of your SD card then run CLRCAD and HARET and it should work just fine. No other phone can do it as well as the HD2 (if they can do it at all).

Thankx for replying... I've posted on a few forums and haven't received anything till now. Anyway: So what you are saying is buy this HD2 phone preloaded with the Win 6.5 OS... Then put Android 4.0+ on the SDCard and boot into that. I would really want to run Android most of the time. I would connect the Android OS to my AT&T and make calls with it... and only use Win 6.5 rarely.
Questions:
1) Are there examples of people actually doing this? recently?... or just back in the days of 2.2 which as I mentioned in the 1st thread, i found many google links/forum threads on.
2) Can I still get to the Android market and all normal apps, and not have other DRM issues?
3) Since the OS is actually on the SDCard, and I hit the reset, would it automatically go to Windows, when I reset?

Come on, you don't even have to search to get your answer, just browse to the SD Android development forum. You're just being lazy now.

From Star Trek: Sarek said: "It is difficult to answer, when one does not understand the question." Or in my case, it was difficult to go looking for the answer, when not understanding how supposedly easy it was to find. Us IT people are in the business of making others feel stupid often, but we don't have to flaunt it.
Yes this is a good link, that now you have so eloquently pointed out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986437

There's a difference between not knowing/understanding and simply not trying. This was quite obviously the latter. I'm not trying to make you feel stupid at all, in fact you're probably the opposite since you're going to buy an HD2 . I'm just saying that you weren't exactly trying to find the answer and just wanted to be spoon fed, and as someone who's new to this you're probably going to have a lot of questions along the way and it's better to learn how to find the answers yourself than to just get given them because it's faster and better for everyone.

If you wish to keep noobs as noobs, and turn them away, then continue to use sarcasm. But if you wish to turn noobs into contributors, and receive more thanks, than you treat them with respect. --- I've been looking for weeks for the right place. I wish to upgrade my phone soon, but not in that big of a hurry.
You wish me to defend myself? OK. Your XDA site is huge with a vast array of forum links. I was not aware I would need to look under HTC development'. I didn't know it had anything to do with Development.... Sorry (why am I apologizing to you?). To me software development is when someone programs an application that runs on a Win-mobile and/or Android device better known as an 'app'. Or what I do... I am a software developer for the asp.net environment. When searching for dual-booting as I said in the 1st thread I get tons of threads from years ago about Android 2.2. The same happens when searching from google. Is it really that easy to find as you say? Unless like you, you know exactly where to look. 'It is easy to find the answers, when you know right where to look', 'you understood the question'... but I did not know where even to look!

There was no sarcasm in my post at all, but now I'm going to be quite blunt. You're acting like an idiot. I understand why you may think software development is to do with apps but when there are two separate forums for NAND and SD then it should be obvious that it's not. I was 14 and I managed to figure out how to install SD Android without any help whatsoever, I refuse to believe that a software programmer couldn't figure it out. You wished to dual boot WinMo and Android on your SD card on an HTC HD2:
1. Find XDA
2. Find the HD2 forum
3. Oh look, it has a section called 'Android'. The answer's probably in there somewhere
4. I want to boot Android on my SD card. Conveniently, there's a forum dedicated to SD Android. I wonder if there are modern ROMs there
5. Whoa, threads with ICS and JB ROMs as well as guides on how to install them. I guess I've found my solution.
Yes, it's just as easy to find as I say if not easier. Steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 could have been solved with Google.
I couldn't care less about thanks, they're not a very good reflection of... well, anything really. I've seen people with 0 thanks post amazingly useful guides (in fact I think the guide I first followed to flash NAND Android was someone's first post) and people with thousands of thanks ask 'best ROM' questions. Whilst it would be great to turn more people into contributors it'll be impossible for you to become one if you don't put any effort in yourself.
Because this thread went off the rails I am going to close it, but here's the quick rundown:
if you want to dual-boot WM6.5 and Android, you can do so using the haret method mentioned. Yes it is fully featured (market etc.) and yes when you restart you boot back into WM6.5, but you can boot into Android really fast after that if you want.
You can also dual-boot WP7 with Android, put Android on NAND or other options.
Searching really is the key, I know the HD2 forums can be a bit daunting and some things are going to be a bit hard to find but generally speaking if it has anything to do with Android (like dual booting from WM6.5) you will find it stickied in the Android forum.
