Just for fun: Video - My HD2 loading and running Android 2.1...

I took this for a friend and thought I'd share...
My 4 day old HTC HD2 loading and running Android 2.1 (rough). I think the song choice (and timing) is awesome. lol
Sorry for a little shake in the vid, I didn't have a tripod handy and had to hand hold the P&S camera...

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.

Android runs on top of windows so you have no access to any of your windows programs while running android.

(q) desire hd Vs. hd2

very similar on specs but can anyone that has actually owned or used both give a proper comparison? got a dhd atm but is it worth swapping for multiple os the hd2 can run.

Depends on what ur looking for... if u want to be able to use WM7 and android this is the only device that can run both atm.
The HD is a very good device and runs both OS's very smooth.
If i were u i would stick to your Desire HD as the specs are better and the device will be more supported in the future as the HD2 is getting older now and wont receive any (official) updates anymore.
WM7 cannot even do multitasking untill end of this year... and by then google will release android ice cream sandwich anyway.
I personally would stick to android, WM7 is just not worth it (yet).

ok. thanks very much for your reply.
i was locking more at running ubuntu. the devs on the dhd have done a brilliant job. but its not functional enough for proper use.
have you run ubuntu on your hd2? if so how does it perform for useability? ie. smS, calls and 3g data
thanks

Sorry, i did not use the Ubuntu build on my hd2 but im interested in experimenting with it too.
I think i just will get a 2nd HD2 as they r very cheap on the 2nd hand market just to fiddle around with ubuntu, meego etc...
Other people can correct me if im wrong but i dont think it would be interesting for daily use (yet) (from the smartphone point of view)

i think this is unfair since the desire is latest than hd2 but i think if they were made at same period it would be a split since desire is android and hd2 is windows anyways they have the same screen and speed

Doesnt matter how its called, everyone knows what im talking about + i did mean updates from rom cookers OR official updates, thats why i pu it between ().
Besides if HTC doesnt release official updates the community wont have updated kernels to work with.
The point of my post was : why sell the HD if you can have both

Android 4.0 (ICS): F5 is getting bashed, which dev is gunna be first?

Hey guys/gals, Like many of you are probably doin im checking XDA every 10 mins or pressing F5 eagerly awaiting to see who is gunna be first to release a Alpha/Beta/Test port of ICS for our HD2.
I know its still too early and I need to be patient, but I'm like a kid on Xmas eve here
So any guesses as to who is gunna be first to release a ICS port from source?

I was just looking for the same thing lol

I think that the fate of this release, such as HoneyComb

Haha, doing the same thing.
My F5 key will be severly used the coming days...

not bothered about it, if i do give it a go, it will be after a month or two of the first rom being released as there are bound to be loads of bugs/issues with it

I think he means that the chance of getting ICS on our HD2s is as remote as getting honeycomb.
Personally, reading other threads, I must agree. Where are we going to get drivers from?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

I think there will be a good chance that CyanogenMod makes it work for the Desire, which has the same hardware as a Hd2

Maybe Imilka will..........
Lets keep our fingers crossed....

Well, if someone works on an ICS port to Nexus One, it'll have some drivers for HD2. We use the same chipset...

I agree, considering that gingerbread still has issues here and there, ICS might take a while before a stable version see the light.
I'm not worried much about drivers, Honeycomb was released for tablets mostly, so creating new drivers for the HD2 would take a lot of time, but since ICS is made for smartphones (and tablets) it would be easier to make it work on the HD2. but I may be a bit optimistic.

ICS will happen but its going to take some time. Even when its working it will take more time to polish into a every day rom.
I dont think there will be anything worth flashing until 2012.

me 呵呵呵 哈哈哈

man who stole my F5 key?

Dev's are working on it, patience.

I'm going to mess up my fn and f5.

hey do not wait just go to this site -> http://galnetmiui.co.uk/landing/ics-builds/ and enjoy ics miui rom for hd2 curently it is the best rom and fastest rom I tried for htc hd2!

Is this the real deal? It looks legit but didn't they just release the code not even 1 or 2 days ago? I'm downloading right now, what new features does ICS have?

[Poll] Who wants WebOS on Desire Z ? VOTE AWAY !!!!

Hey y'all, i'm just asking whether you'd like WebOS running on the desire z. Think about it, the desire z would be AWESOME with webos, and it would be (relatively) easy to compile, since it's got the same processor as the Veer.

webOS is fine...
but i was hoping someone could make a windows mobile ROM... but that's clearly impossible since its not open source...
oh well... but i vote for webOS.... even if its not that good, it would help the developement...

They have a different touch screen, camera's and drivers so I don't think it would be that easy ;p but hey I may be wrong

Yep, that's my understanding as well. The hardware drivers don't exist, so they would have to be made from scratch. A huge amount of work to get what is . . .yes a dead OS onto our phone. So unless the OP or somebody he knows is planning to take this on as a project, this is kind of a pointless post.
Other than that, more variety on ROMs is always a good thing. If you don't want it, don't flash it. So there is no real "downside" to having WebOS ported over.

Other than the "because we can" aspects why webOS?
I would much prefer a windows phone Rom...
Sent from my HTC Flyer using XDA App

I'm new to here... but this poll really suit me, as I have currently a Desire Z & a Pre 3! I would love to have webOS on Desire Z but I prefer vertical keyboard. Horizontal keyboard is good but a bit too large for rapid typing.
So my answer is: if I don't have Pre 3, Excellent to have webOS on Desire Z. But since I have one already, it's also a good idea for me to have a Android phone, mostly for apps and games.

Actually, someone made an MIUI ROM running an optimized version of launcher 7! It's VERY nice.

I think this is where Obama's "Yes We Can!" would be perfect i guess..

two things:
first its the look of windows phone not windows mobile (i want a 6.5 not a 7)
second its still android... webOS will change its OS to webOS...

Well, "Everything is relative", a smart guy once said. So true. and i must admit, maybe i exaggerated a bit by saying "easy", 'cause nothing i've ever seen related to coding seems easy at all. i know nothing about coding, but i do know that if you can make the processor run without modifications, then the rest won't be too hard. After all, it is a SoC . I may be wrong, but i can't help it.

This would be more like Proof-of-Concept in my books...regardless, I'd definitely give it a whirl!

sorry, but i think i puked a little when i read the topic... I was using webos on my touchpad and damn it was more of a scientific demonstration of what it can do.. it's painfully unpolished.

I've never seen webos. Hellz bellz yeah ill ride that donkey for a day. It cannot possibly be any worse than Amazons horriibly kanged android.
I also want to see XP on it since the fella in that other thread brought it up. MSDOS too.

I'm not too interested to test this.
But, if you can make it work without problems - why not?
I bet there's much people that would like to try this out!

Would be interesting to try.
The more the merrier.

Anyone still interesting?
As HP was released a complete WebOS source and there are GNex port, so any hope to have this charm thing on our phone!
Just curious to see something new in porting for this device.
Keep the fire flaming!

It would be interesting to see, but that's definitely a LOT of work.

Let's see that what's we have here? The most problem with porting job is linux kernel and drivers compatible and fully functionals working. We have some working Android kernel 3.x, the most close version compared with official Linux kernel, WebOS is based on Linux kernel also. If developers still interesting on porting it then they can do it a quite easy than the time before kernel 3.x got working.

[WP8.1] Windows Phone 8.1 port for the M7

Hi guys,
May most of u read about the HTC W8 from evleaks. I dont know if its true but lets say there will be a W8 with the same Hardware specs as the M8 would it then maybe be possible to port WP8 to the M8 and from that base to the M7?
Just an idea...what u think about?
Cheers Naily
Sent from my Nokia 3310

I have to say, when I saw that device too I was thinking if it was able to be ported to the M8.
That would be very cool

a very experienced dev on hd2, sir Cotulla from DFT, was working on a custom bootloader for m7 (magldr) which makes multiple os boot possible, in particular he was trying to port win 8 RT (he wasn't much interested on WP)
this could be a good news for him

overall talking about the windows phone and not about lumias.
wp8 devices(samsung and huawei) have been jailbroken which is called interlop unlock.
also lumia 520 has been interlop unlocked using j-tag. so it is highly possible that other lumias may follow soon.

I would love to have a lumia 9xx dualbooting wp8 and android..but i am actually a student and cant afford a new phone so my hope is in the wp8.1 port for my beloved m7 btw to the guy 2 posts above me...: nice typo
