After reading a few articles about the HD3 coming out soon I was thinking about how nice it would be to have WM7 as stock ROM w/ Android on SD.
Don't shoot me but what are the chances of seeing this happen?
*ducks for cover*
I was thinking of the same thing the other day.
Where are you going to put the SD card? From what I've heard they're not coming out with a slot. That's why they got the large internal. Ill double check.

By that time, I'll buy new device with dual core.
Right now I'm rockin' WM, Android and Ubuntu, I'd prefer to just be able to add WM7 to the selection than be stuck with anything tbh.

WM sucks so much wish i new how much before I entered my contract. Least things are moving forward and wouldn't mind trying out WP7 or might even get out the credit card and get an Iphone 4 (Yep I said it)
Who wants to bet that Windows 7 will be ported on HD2 and we will be able to leave Android on it as well??? .... why... well HD2 is just best device on the market ...
Since cotulla got win ce7 booting off sd card on the hd2, when wp7 is ported, I bet we can boot that off sd also. Then we can have wm6.5, wp7, android, & ubuntu (and hopefully meego once they get the 3d working correctly on non-android linux!) all on one phone! Da_G mentioned cotulla was working on a haret-like loader for wp7.
It makes me wonder why people want android on nand so much when you can have a phone that does all that... A multiple os booting superphone or just another android phone?... I'll take the first option.

Agree I wouldn't mind trying out win7 just to compare it to 6.5 Guaratee Cotulla could get win7 on hd2. Nand sounds awesome. If I really had a choice I would pick win7 and android off sd card rather than nand. Beggers can't be choosers. I'm just grateful for all the work devs have done so far.
everybody says that winmo sucks, but without winmo we didn't have haret to boot ubuntu or android.
i havn't seen a phone with ubuntu stock

Nope. I just looking over it. It's an free OS. I wonder how it compares to windows programs, compatibility wise.

Cotulla is working with Da_G to get WP7 on the HD2 according to Da_G... I assume that's why he created a loader that could boot winCE7 off of a sd card. It sounds like the first steps to getting WP7 booting on the HD2.

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.
yeah if they put android on iphone they definetly should put this in HD 2 ohh...i don't know why HTC choose that HD 2 to have WinMo......

because there is nothing majorly wrong with wm6.5 and senseUI on the HD2. WinMo6.5 is a lot more flexible in terms of functionality, connectability, and programmable comparing to android and iphoneOS. People just love to ***** whenever they can...

Yes, that makes no sense whatsoever... Especially since there are Android phones out there with very similar specs to the HD2!
If HD2 had android people would be complaining about lots of other things. just ignore those people >.<

Of course it would be cool... and it will happen eventually. But nobody should get this phone for that reason or be expecting android anytime soon. If you hate WinMo, you shouldn't buy a WinMo phone.
Also, there's no reason for people to make threads asking when it's gonna happen or trying to rush the developers. They're doing there best and doing a great job... but they have their own lives and it's a very complicated process porting linux. It'll happen when it happens. Don't get an HD2 expecting it.
has this not already been done?? im sure there is an android rom that lets you choose at startup whether you want to run WinMo6.5 or Android from the SD card, dont hold me to this but im sure i read it somewhere a few weeks back and they were just ironing out the final creases then!

Not for the HD2. They are still working on the linux kernel. They have working ports for the first HD, the TP2 and a lot of other msm72xx WinMo phones.
That when a stable android build is out for the HD2, it will be able ot run on the internal memory with NO windows mobile at all, and not kill the battery? i just wnat to make sure that i will not have to run the build of my sd card for ever.
i just would like all your opinions, cause i don't know weather to be patient and keep my hd2 or get something else...Just wondering what all your thoughts are..and when would you think a stable working full port would be?
thanks gang. Love this forum
Thanks DEVS! Great work on this!
no one??????
To be honest I think you'd be better off just getting an android phone if your looking to completely replace the os.......
You could be waiting a while otherwise.......

Really? that is what i feared...
what (IYHO) would be a "while"?
I wouldnt like to even guess at how long because my knowledge of the whole android thing is very small, its not really something that interests me to be honest......
From what Ive been reading the newer builds are coming on in leaps and bounds but at the end of the day the HD2 is built to be a WM device, android will never run as efficiently and as stable as it would on an android handset....
Of course its going be fun to play around with but I dont think it will ever be able to replace the original os........
It sounds like you'd probably be better off with a desire / evo.........

Well they have been going since March, it's now July and we are on alpha release. A month, two, three...? Who knows.
i wonder how "usable" it will be, and will there ever be a rom that works on the internal memory and not the memory card?

I should think it would be stable and you may well be able to flash it to the internal ROM, or at least have a dual boot option. Personally I have no interest in running Android on my HD2, despite tinkering with it already.
I have my eye on the 'Desire HD'.

I have never tried Android, but I do like WM 6.5.x a lot, but it's well on the way out now. I'll be gunning for an Android phone next I think, and the 'Desire HD' looks like it will fit the bill nicely.
When I was considering the HD2 or the Android, the main reason I chose the HD2 was because of WM6.5. Despite all the bad impression, WM is still fairly stable for me. Furthermore, you can only install apps onto Device Memory using Android. How many programs do you think you can get onto the Device Memory?
I have an 8gb card (standard issue) and I have no qualms installing a program and playing with it for a while, and don't need to worry about memory becoming too low...

You can install apps on the memory card now... was added in 2.1 or 2.2
Soo yeah, It was on the main page recently that a build of windows phone 7 would soon be released for HD2. I know I'm begging for a good flaming for this but is there anywhere I can find an update on the status of this project? I know its a locked down OS and blah blah blah but I use the HD2 as my business phone and would like it to have a more business appeal to it. Does amnyone have an idea on the status of this project?

WM7 will come , but like chefs told its just a demo. i dont think its will for a daily use. Android is enough .
i just don't get it. can't the device handle the os?
I think it comes down to if the team is willing to crack the OS so everything works. Last I heard, the thing thats holding back release and making the OS usable would be Windows Genuine Phone. It prevents non-genuine versions of windows phone to work properly. Without live tiles and access to apps, the usefulness of windows phones is non-existent.

of course it can, its just the fact that porting a complete OS is a massively complex task that us mere mortals can barely even comprehend.....

Well I'm gonna patiently wait. Android is helping bide the time, but I'm ready for some new microsoft goodies.

Hi guys, I have one question
Can be good idea install Win Phone 7 in my Hd2?
thx
I know that a lot pple love w7, but in my opinion is mmmm....
It's your choice mater and wrong forum. Do some reading and make your choice if you want it.
Personally loading WP7 to my HD2 is the best thing i ever did, surprisingly it feels very good to use.
good idea: flashing WP7 on your HD2 with dual-boot Android 2.3 off SD
bad idea: flashing a .51 radio on your tmous hd2
Dual Boot

I've thought of doing the dual boot WP7 & Android, but I only have a 16GB SD card and running WP7 only I've used 10GB already and I'm not installing much waiting for nodo update.
What size do you have? And do you find any problems?
Cheers
Tnx, but no tnx... I will stay out with win phone 7, until someone made it bootable from SD card

I'm back with WM6.5 with Android on SD.
WP7 runs very well on the HD2, just not got the extreme flexibility of WM6.5
Wait for the NODO HD2 update, if it ever arrives that is...

I use a 4gb partition for WP7 and the rest for Android on my SD card, everything works perfect with no more needed space.

It's up to you. I've installed WP7 on my HD2 and love it. Sure, can't tweak the settings like in WM6.5, but now I have more time to do other things with my life than to constantly tweak my phone.
I'm finally getting my money's worth from my data plan. LOL
To reiterate...to each his own. And for those who don't want to install WP7, what are you doing in the WP7 forum bad mouthing the platform? Go and be happy with what you're running on your phone and leave the people who want to explore WP7 alone.

After 4 months (or more) everyday use of it I can say YES
Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944995
is the most stable ^^
actually the best idea ever would be if there thread wasn't in the development sub forum
The thing is I don't really like going into Magldr, so i was wondering if there was an already stable app that let's you load android by shutting down WP7 after WP7 is already loaded?
Help would be much appreciative and thanks in advance

True but sometimes ill forget and an app would be pretty useful, instead of rebooting all over again.
I wonder if anyone is trying to make an universal app where you can go back and forth between WP7 and Android.
