Maybe will be available such combinations as: WM65 on NAND + Android on SD, or two Linux based systems (Android + Ubuntu) via MAGLDR.

What is NAND?
NAND is the internal memory on your phone. This means that these ROMS can be ran off your internal phone's memory, without it having to be on the SD card.
UPDATE: It WILL be possible to revert back to WM by just flashing an WM ROM!
http://twitter.com/CotullaCode/status/24870232359
UPDATE: Video has been posted of the HD2 booting from MAGLDR into Android directly from NAND!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWsxUWwUo_E&hd=1
Some information about MAGLDR on the htc-linux wiki:
Features
* Keep heads up for release: will be announced soon
* Choose between WM 6.5 / Linux-based OS
* WM 6.5 can be installed on NAND while Android could be launched from SD, or two Linux-based OS's can be launched; one from NAND and one from SD.
* Select different kernels (you can load kernel from list)
* TTY mode for developers. (ability to dump dmesg after crash, etc.)
* Built in Tetris (This is not a joke. It really has a Tetris game available that can be played with the 4 front keypad buttons.)
* Support YAFFS2 partitions flash via USB / from SD. Up to 8 YAFFS2 partitions.
* Support EXT2 partitions flash protocol (is this correct? please update talk page if not.)

Just asked Cotulla via Twitter. Let's hope we get an response! If I get one, I will update the opening post.
I am really looking forward to it but the sd card system also has its benefits.
To backup I simply copy the android folder to my PC and if something goes wrong, I delete that folder from the sd card and copy back the folder from my PC and I am good to go.
Also I can keep at least three Roms on my sd card and boot which ever I want to.
However, I think a NAND rom is a NAND Rom and has to be better than the sd card one.
delete mesage by me!
Can you dual boot? Or does it whipe WM6.5. And can you only
re-install by hard reset?
great news. i hope it will ease the consumption of the battery as long as sdcard consumes alot of power!
besides im going to hold the ground until people try this and see the ups and downs of android running off nand.
a trillion thanks to cotulla and his co-developers.
Is this true? I still can't believe my eyes!
Seniour memberz are tweeting, as this is really needed other than a fully functional Android on Sd card
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

OMG!
I'm think im going cry.......of happyness.
Thanks Lord Cotulla...i'm your slave.
blargh its going to be a pain trying to figure out how to backup my android settings and apps that I'm using on cyangeon mod.
still can't wait for this to be up and running

Well I just make the steps posted in first post and wait.
Now I can run android but the buttons are not mapped yet, but xplayerku is working on that and maybe Darkstar can have a board support for artemis soon.
Oh ok thanx for the reply, ill just wait for the board support
have you gotten the buttons to work??
I wait the button support
how to close the applications?...... to do it ihave to remove the battery......

Hi Guys,
This rom cannot be updated on shady 313 WM6.5 Rom. if you want to update android you should change your operation soft ware to any other one.

its not a rom
it's still experimental
it isnt finished yet
getting it run on half working hybrid 6.5 rom will be quite far down the priority list
just for the developers information, it runs fine on pdhee's last 6.5 rom...or rather it did until i tried it this morning and it crashed out with the kernel error that others are reporting (cant mount fs).
reading the dev lists it looks like some poeple think this is an sd driver issue or something that was introduced in the new version
waiting for a fix anyway
hi..... i found this http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/w...sid=376427fb5e6d23cdd5c037d34389f847&start=10
i'm not a programmer and i can't compile kernel but i think this ca help you....
is there any guide for compile the kernel? i've downloaded the sdk on the mac os...
sorry for the english
cuzzo94 the page that you found is the page for this project
the reason for that you dont close applications its because until now we dont have mapped the hardware buttons.
xplayerku is working on that and maybe darkstar too (i hope so).
BabelOued work in a similar project few years ago.

like he said he has working some drivers.
Maybe some programmer could mix the 2 projects.
do you will relase a new version with mapped buttons?
thanks!
if you read the thread, they are discussing making a specific artemis board config.
i think this needs to be done before we get any more progress
once the board config is done for artemis it can be fixed to run properly, but we need to wait for them to do this.
at the moment there are board configs for wing, prophet, herald and wizard, but no artemis so our phones are being booted pretending to be one of these 4 devices (which is why it doesnt quite work properly yet)
ok thanks!
good job

Hi everyone,
I am installing Android 2.2 (FroYo) On HTC [03 Sep 2010] (V1.6) on my Touch HD and got a problem with a message "Waiting for SD card". Could anyone help me to fix it?

After installing Froyo in my HTC HD, I found that the camera cannot work anymore.
Hey guys,
I borrowed the old sd card from a friend then install the android and it works!
LOL My original SD card of touch HD didnt work. I think only old sd card works right now. make sure you format it with the tool here http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/
and the issue about the camera is not fixed yet. we have to wait for the next update i guess.
goodluck guys

As it's and kernel related (driver like) problem and it just doesnt address the camera at all atm - there shouldnt be any risk - so it's like there would be no camera for the system.
But dont try pin me on that later
(Dunno if it also applies for testkernels,...)
Anyway - what u could have found is the standart termes - android is experimental - all at youre own risk - but there shouldn't be one atm (think i read it somewhere some month ago)

"Fix 3: Tell your wife / girlfriend that you are about to make some modifications to her phone... change the ringtone and steal her old Class 2 SD Card to use with Android.

Hi, I'm very new to HD2 and currently having a problem with it. I used to flash some winmo roms on my HD2 UK, but then I moved to Android. Everything was working well with Android builds on SD card, however, when I started to flash Android on NAND, the welcome screen of my previous WinMo rom is still there. So do I need to do a task29 to format my device's rom then? And if so, do i need to flash radio and MAGLDR again?
I still get that few seconds screen of my energy Rom but it doesn't mean wm is still there.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
well winmo isnt on your phone anymore but you can still do it to have a "clean" build. make a task29 (preferrably with the light version which is using a blank .nbh, youll see it in first post of task29 thread) then flash any .50 radio and afterwards magldr and android. did it the same way to have a (hopefully) clean build

Are you putting your HD2 into bootloader then attempting to flash? You MUST flash from bootloader!

It's doing exactly what it should do. I'm not being funny, but did you even look at the thread before downloading the ROM, because the very first image on the page shows you a WP7 style app running?

You need to either flash a stock gingerbread ROM (if you do want Gingerbread), or find out what the WP7 style app is and just uninstall it.
The good news is that you do have Gingerbread now running on your phone
no i did look but i thought it would be switchable? because even on the screenshot you got there there are 2 styles to the rom or so it appeared to me

If you find out what the Windows Phone app is then you can clear the defaults for it (Settings, Applications, Manage applications), so that when you press the home key it will ask you what app to use. You can then select the stock launcher and use that instead.
If you're not going to use the WP7 app though, you're better off getting rid of it.
ok
i found a good stock gingerbread and i just magldr 1.12 flash right over the wp7 rom or do i have to uninstall the wp7 ....microsoft sucks hahah android owns the earth D

Yes, just use Magldr and select USB flash. And you do not have WP7 on your phone. It's an Android application that looks a little bit like it.

It causes problems..
I don´t know if I´m happy with the 3.2
Take note, though: With Android 3.2, SD card support means something slightly different than what it's meant in the past. Whereas Android smartphones treat SD cards like regular drives, with full read and write access, Android 3.2 tablets view external cards in a much less PC-like manner. In short, apps can read an SD card -- but they can't write to it.
The reason: Google has switched to a new protocol for SD card handling in the 3.2 release. The thinking seems to be that with the high amount of internal space provided on Honeycomb tablets, most users will be turning to SD cards for purposes like media storage as opposed to application and app data storage. With that mentality, writing data from a tablet to an external card becomes less important, and a simplified user experience -- one that's less dependent on a user's understanding of file system structure -- becomes a higher priority.
To be clear, you can still write to a mounted SD card via your PC, using a USB connection; you just can't do it from the tablet itself. That means in an Android file manager utility like Astro, you'll be able to browse through the SD card and access its files, but if you try to copy files to the SD card or edit any SD-card-stored files, you'll find those options to be grayed out and unavailable.

I think that really sucks
I'll wait for the CWM flashable version. This is awesome. Asus does it right. Just give us quick vanila android update with minimal crapwares. That's all we want.
I'll be waiting for the updates of custom rom's as well, probably won't be long.
