Will Wndows mobile 6.5.3 come to the HD2?

I just saw a TG01 running winmo 6.5.3 at CES and it looked impressive. Small changes and nice onscreen push buttons at the bottom of each page for easy pressing.
I wonder if the HD2 will get it??

already has it. head over to the rom section, bro.

Dude you could have just searched instead of posting a new thread.

There's nothing in the OP about wanting an official version of 6.5.3. It just says 6.5.3. So, he's right. Searching will find it. If you do want an official version, you'll have to wait until it's released. You may still not get it then anyway. It will be down to your provider.

I hope not. If HTC are going to put any effort into a new version of WM then I hope it will be WM7 rather than 6.5.3

Where did the thread starter mention that he has a provider locked phone?
This thread is full of rudeness and irrational answers. A mod might as well lock it.

Disagree, my question about where the thread starter mentioned that he has a provider locked phone is relevant in the light of at least one irrelevant answer.
But thank you for your pointless comment.

Back OT - My bold prediction is that HTC won't bother with 6.5.3 but will issue more and more patches for current issues and then present something more advanced at a later stage, probably in the middle of the year.
I have absolutely no factual (or even fictional) basis for the above assertion but it seems entirely reasonable. I feel it in my gut.
Shoot me down if you wish but at least I'm OT.

Same as above, I don't think HTC is going to bother with 6.5.3 (or rather, I'd like them to pay to make actual proper drivers instead of OS updates); in any case, when/if an official release of Windows 6.5.3 is out you'll prolly be able to find it in the ROM section, xda being, you know, xda.
As for personal experience, 6.5.3 transformed my device into a trainwreck (a shiny trainwreck with huge buttons) with all relevant cooked roms as of 5 days ago, making me swiftly retreat to a cooked 6.5.0. Of course, it depends of what you do with it (if you want a device you can rely on and consider stable or not). Your mileage may vary.

Cmon HD2/Android Development!!!

Android Running On The iPhone
Yea yea yea I know its a iPhone, different OS, blah blah blah...But I figured that was pretty cool.

What does this have to do with HD2 Android development? This is what the "General Discussion" category is for.

well gee,... dont read it if it bothers you so much. How much sense does it make to flame him for this?

My guess he is saying that if they got it on the iPhone the Devs should hurry up and get it going on the HD. Well if you would like it sooner then help out in some way other just starting a thread asking for it.

Yeah, it just irritates me when people act like the developers should have it ported already and don't show appreciation for all the hard work and progress they have made on it. They are making GREAT progress and are spending their time doing it for free. By the title of this thread and it's content, it sounds like just what you said... that the iphone has it now so it should be done for the HD2 by now. I have been replying to most of the many threads started about the HD2 android/linux port and try to explain just how much work it actually takes. People seem to think it's just like cooking a rom or that having an android phone with similar specs should make it an easy port... but it's much more complicated than that.

Oh I know that. That is one of the reason most of my stuff never gets released.

god dangit!

there's the DEVELOPER thread
don't post useless crap in there
Can we please stop these android threads??? I mean ffs if you wanted android get a flipping android powered device! Want android on an htc? Get the touch pro 2!
I mean this is retarded every week 2 new android threads??? seriously??? aiya

LMAO Ok calm down yall I just said that was pretty cool....no big deal. If you didnt want to see a android thread dont click on a title that clearly says it. Point blank.

So basically, the iPhone has been out for like 3 or 4 years and one guy has a port.

I'm one of the few who aren't impressed with Android. I find WinMo 6.5 to be much smoother, faster and overall better than even the best Android phone out right now. So I hope HTC doesn't turn the HD2 or HTxx into a Google based phone.

On top of all that the linux developement on iphone has been going on for a while now too. The fact that its on the phone is cool but its still in alpha status. HD2 just started so yea.... def cool to see that though.

there is NO WAY right now to even port it. like the guys above me said, go buy an android phone.
close thread please.

what you could try is:
copy a HTC desire ROM to your HD2 and see what happens when you boot it..
please let me know the outcome..

Didn't know we had so many comedians here on XDA, have any of you thought about trying out for Last Comic Standing?
Did you catch a hint of sarcasm, you sure did!
Should the OP have used search, yes. Should the OP take a look at the XDA homepage from time to time, sure. But really, whats the point in replying if you have nothing to contribute of value. Reply #4, even though it was blunt and could be read in a not so pleasant tone, still offered a valid answer and link without leading the OP down the path to a possible brick. Everything other reply was useless. Go ahead, flame me all you want, I don't give a ____.
To the OP, no, there is not a direct port of Android in any flavor for the HD2, or any other WinMo based phone for that matter. Yet. This doesn't mean it won't be possible, amazing things have happened here on XDA since I joined in 2007. There are options though, keep watching this thread as there are currently 6 known working HTC WinMo devices that can run Android via a WinMo app called haret.

I think there's more than 6 winmo devices that can run android through haret. But otherwise, you're completely right.
I don't think a lot of the people on these forums asking for android on HD2 understand the fact that there has been no perfect android port for any winmo devices, yet. I've noticed there's a lot of new winmo users on these hd2 forums who think that a port should come soon and they will be able to install/flash it and have a perfectly working android phone. I've even heard people say they bought the hd2 anticipating an android port.
It doesn't work like that. It never has. These ports take time. They are very buggy at first, and even when they iron out the bugs, it is still not fully functional. It will probably be years before we have a port that can use bluetooth, wifi, camera, sensors, etc.
If you want to use android full-time as your main phone os, get an android phone. It's great when we can boot into android when you want and use some android apps, but it's going to be a very long time before its functional enough to want to use full-time. If you want to have a hd2 and make full use of its features, your gonna have to use winmo. A bootable android will be a great feature and fun thing to play with, but thats all its going to be good for for a long time.... something to play with. I dont think theres been a fully functional port to a winmo phone, yet.
So to the people waiting for android on your hd2... be patient, and dont expect a fully working version anytime soon.

[Q] Will the Desire HD ROM come to HD2?

I'm very impressed from the first Desire HD GUI Screens. Will there be a build for the HD2 soon? Is the ROM available, yet?

loosely translated all you're saying is:
If we had a different device we would still have to wait for this...
Again you put up a thread in a forum it has nothing to do with. This is supposed to be about Touch HD Android Development, not an advertisement channel about stuff for different devices that might be available sometime...
and maybe... if your entire post fits in a 'tweet', maybe you should open a twitter account...
