We always knew this day would come, some guys at xda.cn has managed to get WP7 up and running on a HTC HD2. The HD2 which was the only capacitive screen Windows Mobile device was expected to get an unofficial port of WP7. This does not look like the release build of Windows Phone 7 ( Xbox Live tile has a green background in the release build of WP7 ) . In the video you can see that the OS runs quite smoothly on the HD2, and they shows the various hubs like picture and games. The hardware keys have been mapped to mimic the Home and Back buttons, Search was not shown in the video, doesn’t necessarily mean its not there. They also demo the multi-touch pinch to zoom in the picture hub.
It looks nice and all and is a nice hacking feat but do you honestly want to run WP7 on the HD2 or get one of the new WP7 device ?
look the video at pocketnow:

This is indeed a great day to be an HD2 owner.
For the obvious question: when can I get my hands on it?
(Answer does probably have something to do with patience )
I saw that just a bit ago on twitter. Looks very promising. I wouldn't mind being able to boot wp7 just for the netflix streaming!
so excited about it ....

Its because Windows phone 7 needs a licence. You cannot access a few bits (one of them is marketplace ) without activating the OS

I think that may be correct. The ROM's must be big on those devices as they are meant to have more than 512 NAND storage. Hopefully they implement what HTC did in some and use the microSD as extra storage on them

i don't know, but energy's new extreme ROM has the same problem. Might have to do with the size of the port. My ROM is 400mb and that confuses the phone and it said on boot I only was using 56mb of storage.

Hello everyone!
I had a question to ask ...
Some time ago I saw the dualboot windows-android htc available for some.
is also available on HD2?
thanks
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623792
i think you can install the dual.root but there is no version of android itself to run on htc hd 2, as i assume.

if they mange to port it yes, ideally it would have a dual boot where you can chose what you want too boot when you turn on the phone.. that would be really nice

Yes, what he said. You can READ about the progress they have made, but please no posts like:
'Can't you just use the Android from Nexus One?'... The Developers are smart people. So to be honest, there is probably NOTHING you can teach them. Just let them to their job. It is harder then you guys think, so this could take a while.
Enjoy your HD2 as it is. The main reason I want Android is for the appstore. But probably tomorrow the Marketplace will get an update, that allows you to switch regions, install on SD card, and makes it easier for Developers to make apps. Let's hope the Marketplace start getting better within the next months!
there is no android version for htc hd2 i have tried other versions installing on my device but it did not work..... i think people are working on it hopefully sooner or later we will get it.....
Maybe never !!!
thank you guys and sorry.

lol I love how people keep saying not to expect a stable android rom ported over to the hd2 for a year... The way the devs are working and making progress it seems like in months we will have a stable rom.
Yes we could look over the history and see that it has taken years to port android to winmo devices and yes they still aren't 100% stable but then again none of those older winmo devices were the hd2 nor did they have all the internals this bad boy has. There is a reason why they are advancing so fast.
It's called will and power (power meaning the phone )
i cant wait until there is a fully stable version of android on winmo lol
have you checked how much RAM is available after android system is running ?
Is that the original Android 2.1 or is modified ?
when is this coming out?

Go to the link I post earlier in this thread. Download the zip file and extract it to the root of your SDcard. Go into file explorer and run HARET. Press run and let it do its thing, enjoy android. Now its not a fully working port yet for day to day use.

Great news for me at least as it seems that WP7 on the HD2 is alive and well. Here is a video showing it booting up fairly similar to how we boot up android. It has not been released yet but from the new on this website it is not far off. I assure you it is all very legit and will be here soon. I used google chrome to visit these sites as it auto translates so let the actual countdown begin. this is exciting for me at least as I think HD2 was and still is the best mobile HTC ever made. this thing runs Android, WM6.5 and WP7!

Yead and they it will be available by end of the next week... in our dreams of course...
SO when ?!
So when finally we can use one of these WP7 ?!?
it is taking much more than I expected !
yeah it seems to be working, but seems also quite slow/sluggish compared to, say, the hd7. maybe it's due to the boot from sd
howcome in the video the IE tile has nice graphics while on all other phones i've seen its flat like all other tiles...?
well i am just happy it still alive and well. it does seem a bit sluggish but it is out there and will be available soon. it boots off microsd like android so there will be flaws. like android however it will work well. seeing that the htc hd7 had a microsd as its internal memory( pictures on the web to confirm) we should be very optimistic to have this running near perfect on HD2

old build
this looks like an old build that's running on the HD2. that's why the IE icon looks different and also that's why it's slower. the newer builds have performance improvements. let's hope they get the final build running on it too.
also, did you notice the other phone in the video (Mozart) had AT&T branding on the hardware, but Telus branding on the software

Sure they'll get it sorted to go to the masses (us) now if they could only find a way of getting it to run from phone and not MicroSD we really would be laughing .

There was some links here, but of course - not for HD2. Still waiting then...

Do not download and flash with downloaded files, unless you want your HD2 bricked!

I don't know if you've noticed, but this xda.cn thread is from today.
I am confused
is there a wp7 for HD2 or not? the linke is too chinese for me
There is some download link, but even though i have an account on xda.cn - i can't download because of some credis i suppose (google translator ftw.).
sthEn, can you paste some info from the thread here? After translating it off course.
"3 files I've downloaded, to be sure the file is uploaded to the excellent eggs today"
There should be some mirrors soon thanks to one of the xda.cn people
Basically, nobody've tested it yet - too soon i guess.
Google translation from the above site:
HTC HD2 takes all three large-scale system to run successfully WP7
Windows Mobilephone the king of the group, has once again implemented a perfect trial run of WP7,HTC HD2 (parameters), the system has successfully transplanted Android 2.2 onto HD2, and now once again is trying to run WP7 for real, HD2 an emperor once again, becomes a focus of attention.
HTC HD2 performance of mobile phone configuration is in full compliance with the requirements of WP7, the screen has a 4.3 inch capacitive touch screen, built-in 1GHz processor and 500 million pixel camera. From the already listed HTC HD7 (parameters)of view, HD2 processor and the same type HD7, HD2's only drawback is its key design which does not meet the physical requirements of WP7, but it will not stop it from running WP7. Time is drawing near, let us work together to cheer!
Damn....I guess I wont get to sleep...This is freaking crazy....

i just spotted this on youtube but after looking deep into the forum there is no where the nand rom can be found.

A release was done by DFT off their website and on a few chinese sites. I don't know if it's a leak or not, but we should be getting the ROM reaaaaal soon on the forums. I personally already did my work and got the ROM and all documentation related to it. Will flash once I have another SD card.

Yes! All things works but I can't find any reasons to use WP7. Definitely it is a big change from wm6.5, but the change is become more worst! Just played with it for ~30 minutes and flash back to Android! Of course, having wp7 on HD2 is great to show off, but not for daily use.

Switched back to Android. I like WP7 because it runs so smooth compared to Android. Camera software is so worse, i don't like it, but 720p recording works like a charm (don't know why this feature doesn't work on Android)
I find Green button assigned to the camera a little weird to use (is more handy to assign the phone software).
Anyways, it looks promising but i'll stick to Android until something good about WP7 will show up.
Many thanks to Cotulla and all the devs for making this happend!
camera is very ugly on WP7 :-D
