No not at this stage. I can recommend Miri's ROMs for android compatibility but havn't tried many others but there is currently no way to run Android on our HD2s without first booting into WM.
There are also a few ROM builds (see the HD2 android development thread) that have a lot cut out of them for faster operation/boot and there's also the option of using one of the developed Android loaders (boots WM then Android for you).
Not possible right now. The devs are working on a NAND version which will make it possible, but it's not available yet.
Highly recommend Energy's Titanium rom, its very lightweight and is perfect if you reboot your phone and want to get back to android fast.
I use ChuckyDroidROM as Winmo build (very low on all recourses), and put shubCRAFT 1.5 or mattc Froyo 1.7 on top of it.
Using the little boot app in the ROM it runs great now
Almost dont notice its a layer
Its cool to have 2 OS on 1 phone, why not?
Question seems to be answered. Thread closed.

[Q] new poster - HTC HD2 --> who is running android 2.2??

hi guys,
sorry if this is a stupid question, only just found this forum today.
I've seen the HTC desire HD running the new android 2.2 and it looks pretty cool. I've also seen this running on the HTC HD2 on you tube.
My question - who is running android 2.2 on their HD2? Is it stable and worth running? where can I find out how to do this (i.e. like a guide for dummies like me!)
cheers

hi,
There's a section dedicated to Android on the HD2.
Check on the "HD2 Android developpement" forum, everything is explained .

yes goto the android on HD2 section of this forum. it explains it all. you will need to flash a custom rom and depending on the android build a particular radio.
im running the Froyostone V3.1 on a cooked rom. its built from the android HTC Desire build and it works fine for me.
OK proceed with caution!!!
Do not brick your device, do alot of reading first before entering or doing anything to your phone. The first step you will have to do is Hard SPL your device and then for Android to run, you will need to change your Radio, for android to run, you do not need to install a custom rom like many believe.

[Q] New HTC HD2 from T-Mobile user

Hi guys, I am new to this and I have been reading around, right now I am using -=MDJ FroYo HD v.4.6=-[FRG83D][kernel:MDJ S8.0] from SD but last days it has been so unstable , just today I rebooted like 8 times and my phone is still crashing after a couple of mins when android is loaded. So I am planning to format my sd and reinstall again.
Right now I have all backed up with Titanium app, so here is my question:
Since I am no expert (and non english speaker btw) do you recommend me to install again the same android build? or maybe install another one?
Thing is I have been reading that NAND builds (Android/WP7) are kinda unstable right now, so I am kinda afraid to move from SD to NAND, I am not really interested in WM 6.5 but I don't wanna harm my device.
So, any tips out there? Please include links, I appreciate it. Thanks

"Tytung's" builds, in my opinion, are the best; whether its and SD/NAND/GINGERBREAD Build. Check my thread link in my signature for info on all three.
i can recommend the new hyperdroid nand.
Another vote for tytung's build. I have nand nexus froyo 1.9b installed on my phone, only had once the phone didn't respond after stand-by. Also the charging bug because of magldr (but that's with every nand rom). It's my daily build and I love it.
Ok I think I will give the NexusHD2 build a try...
It is so confusing because I am a starter... but I will keep reading.
Thanks

[Q] Reboot HTC HD2 to WM 6.5 from android 2.2

Hi guys, I'm pretty much a newbie to this all and was wondering if anyone could help me get my HD2 back to its original settings of being on WM6.5.
I recently upgraded it to 2.2 by NAND ( no idea what that means) but I was successful on getting it up and running on android.
Im now trying to be more adventurous and see if I can boot the rom to 4.4 but just for safe measures, I'd like to know how I can get the system back. Also if anyone can post the links of what Id need to download to get it to 4.4 and how I need to do that from 2.2 would be great. I don't know if I could just upload another android version on top of the 2.2 or if I would have to remove that first.
Thank you in advance

In future search before posting. To flash a higher version of Android (although 4.4 doesn't exist yet and probably never will) check out the guide in my sig. To flash a stock ROM just download one from the HTC website and flash the RUU in the bootloader.
I tried looking for previous posts that would hep, but this stuff is completely going over my head and I am still determined to get my HTC on an upgraded android version. What android version would you recommend? anything more up-to-date than 2.2 would be great (with everything working, I have read posts where some people have had problems with the camera not working)
I have had a look on the HTC website and they no longer support HD2 :-/ How can I restore it? *confused* I'm a complete newbie and a noob, yup both, but I will not be giving up
Further guidance would be great.
I think a JB ROM would be good if you want functionality and the latest version. If you want stability then 2.3 is probably best. The only real solution is to try a few ROMs out and see what you like best.
