Hey there I was sitting on Twitter and suddenly @backtrack tweeted:
*POSSIBLY* the birth of BackTrack 5, Chrooted ARM edition.... touchscreen, screen keyboard all functional. Blog post to follow.

The first thing which came to my mind:
HD2 has ARM processor.
Backtrack 5 *POSSIBLY* comes with ARM support.
Ubuntu was booted on HD2.
If Backtrack is based on Ubuntu then Backtrack can be booted on HD2.

So what do You think about this idea??
Yes! I would love BT5 on the hd2! I think it's possible since it's already been implemented on the Atrix.
That be such a cool idea!
think about it, a walking talking mobile hacking machine! SICKKKKKK!
Mothers keep hiding your daughters, fathers, start hiding everything else, I'm coming "to test your network security" muhahahahaha!
okay maybe i went a little out of hand... but love the idea.. can't wait to dual boot it in with my android.
make it happen, I donate.
Any news ??? It would be great backtrack running on htc leo
But, what about a driver capable of monitor mode for the wireless card of HD2? Should it be included in BackTrack 5 ARM version?
any updates?? eagerly waiting for it!! 1 super phone in pocket would be the best thing to have....i just love LEO!!
Hello,
If you are not ever see it
http://gitbrew.org/debdroid/
i've not ever test so if anyone have test it im interest by feedback.
Thanks
I don't think this is referring to being installed on NAND. I ran BT5 on my HD2 a few days ago and it was great; however, it is an image file with a script that you execute in the terminal of Android, then you can VNC into it to see your GUI. It still ran pretty smooth, but I think it would be better if it was stable on NAND.

How did you do it? Is there a tutorial how to run BT5 on HTC HD2 directly from WM without Android somewhere or can you give an explanation?
Would be very helpful, thanks

Im not going to update this thread anymore.
It has been a terrible experience here.
All the updates from now on will be on irc channel ..
I hope everyone will be happy and excited about this closure.
Cheers.
Cant we have dual boot on the HD2. it will be cool to have android 2.0 and windows 6.5 on the phone, it will surely kick some ass. and do you think that this phone is upgradable to windows 7
Only possible for dual boot as you need to run harret to get it to boot into linux - android stuff.
Acer Liquid, coming on november will bring Android powered by a Snapdragon processor and wvga screen, I don´t know how it works but maybe it´s rom could be ported easier to HD2? and adding the Sense ui from Hero? I´m sorry I know it´s not easy, but since I´m not a developer I just can see these steps inside my head

Cool! I like WinMo, but I would prefer to try Android, and since no hardware is better than HD2´s, and new possibilities to port Android successfully are coming, I think a new monster could be born here
yes, i`m definitally for this thing.... there will be no problem if leo won`t support wm7, if it will be able to run android...
In fact it will support wm7, but thats up to the OEM's if they want to release a wm7 test rom for these cortex 8 devices =].
HTC have says no to android on HD2, so if its going to happen your going to have to do it yourself.
What would be required? Android 1.6+ supports other CPUs including Snapdragon so what else is required to get it to work with Android? Would be very neat.

that would be great, but what makes you so shure??
who wants andorid 1.6 on the hd2. what we want is the full version of android 2.0
Definitly 2.0
maybe the release of a htc android device with the same hardware as the hd2 will make it easier for developers - but better off getting in the mindset that it won't work
the hero has the same processor as the hd1 doesn't it (and android development on that seems very difficult and slow)?

it would be good to see the progress.. I have read the last few pages on the blackstone and haven't seen anything from the developers. Last update was the 18th where it went back from v1.6 to v1.5?
I can't see why time is being devoted to 1.5, surely the focus should be to work on the most up to date version of android than taking a step back.
Obviously i'm not a developer for the android project on the hd1, but if one comes to the hd2 I will donate to a project with quicker progess on android 1.6, preferably 2.0.....
I have one of these HD2's on pre-order just for this reason I hope I can get something accomplished, and am willing to work on flashing and dumping things
if anyone so asks, as soon as I have it in hand.
Ill be working on it myself too.

Hi there
I've seen the works from XDA on getting android working on some HTC...
and i have too say... Lucky bastards!!
Is there hope to see it working on Omnia i8000... and next on the B7610 ?
Maybe some changes in the drivers could do the job
also looking for android to work on i8000
I guess that it's a huge new project, 'cause Omnia II have a totally different processor (Samsung S3C6410) and all other devices XDANDROID supports have Qualcomm MSM chips.

First of all, i don't own a i8000 but a b7610...
If i could afford a different gadget, i would have an android, an iphone, even a sciphone... but i can't... too bad for me, right
I got the b7610 because it was (and it still is) the most suited for me...
If i can run linux and windows on a single pc, it's the best of both worlds...
The same for windows mobile and android, win 95, whatever OS...
More diversity, more utility, more i can get from my expensive hardware
It has been proved that it can run on the original omnia, and on some HTC's...
So i only ask if is too difficult to port it to omnia II (and Omnia Pro)

I wanna try Android on O2... the reason is that the speed is said to be much better than WM. Yet, I'd to keep my WM OS on when I play games coz I still like my WM games.
Maybe there is a little chance for Android for i8000
Look at this link. This device seems to have hardware (especially CPU) similar to our Omnias

So, any plans to bring WebOS to the HD2, now that it's opensource?
webOS is a good OS, but i hope devs will continue on meego first
What has WebOS got to do with Ubuntu?
What has WebOS got to do with Android or WM?)
WebOS isn't yet open-sourced, HP just said it will do that. No sources are available as of now, and it's silly to ask when it'll be ported to HD2 if we even don't know when sources will be available. But, it might me easier to port than meego, as meego's most interesting version (from nokia n9) is closed-source, and opensource meego is, according to devs, not much usable.

This one looks like kernel (and possibly some other GPL-ed components) sources. And it is there probably since a long time. So no, WebOS isn't open source yet.
Sorry for posting the question here. I thought , as nobody really looks at the meego board anymore, I should ask it here as the guys'n'gals that are into porting Ubuntu to the HD2 are a little more hardcore and thus apt to give an honest perspective on whether or not this could happen. I read on the Verge that someone had it running on the Evo 3D so maybe it isn't that far fetched.
As I have understood some of the UI/UX stuff is not open source yet.
We shall come back to this discussion when it's time for that.
WebOS? I'm still waitng for further development of Ubuntu! Sound? Calls? Magldr?
Bumping for interest and the sake of prosperity for our mighty HD2...
Face it Meego is going nowhere slow, if anywhere at all... With the announcements of nokia going to wp. Ubuntu is making very small but slow baby steps...
So why not stir up a craze that'd baffle the internet media once again with the viral power of what the HD2 can do?
It's been ported to many other HTC devices so why not our HD2? We can't just let it die with millions of android and wp builds and lack of interest in other projects such as linux and meego, so I only see one other hurdle to jump that being WebOS.
Well, we'd have to find someone, who could port it... If I wasn't a total failure when it comes to programming and stuff, maybe I could do it :x
The difference between Android and other OSes is Android is popular and it's rather easy to cook a ROM... But here, we'd have to work from scratch. And nobody wants that. Shame on you, community, shame!
The only thing I see possibly coming next for the HD2 is WP8 (Maybe, if it's possible or at WP7.8) I rather hate WP and still love my huge variety of apps and customability with WM... I'm doing Win95 on it, Boxmax SD XDAndroid Sense and Ubuntu...
I don't see why or how it'd be so hard if so many other HTC's have it running already, get the closest build with matching spec's between the HTC HD2 and whatever HTC is remotely similar to our in hardware, edit it for Android maybe and change the drivers of the HTC (In question) to the HTC HD2 in code by similarity of Android builds for HD2. On a side note, I read that the HTC Evo 4G is the same phone as the HD2 on XDA, so if we could find a WebOS Build for that we'd be off to a good start. Then onto the debugging and next step is glory.
If I knew anything about coding and cooking I'd give it a whack, but I don't know much about it.
+1 on WebOS on the HD2...
I have it on the Touchpad and I love it!

Windows 8 is Windows 7 and we did that already, we'd just be spinning our wheels or going backwards then instead of moving forward with bootable os'es.
If you want Windows 8 so bad on your HD2 hunt around for a 7.8 rom, closest you'll prolly get. Anyways you could get in a whole lot more trouble cooking an OS/Rom onto an unsupported phone that hasn't even been released yet to normal consumer users yet.
WebOS would be great those who aren't ready for Android or don't want it and those who don't like WP, but desire something other than WinMo 6.5.
WebOS is dead...
Still would love to see a new OS once in a while. +1 for WebOS, +1 for MeeGo, +1 for Firefox OS (or whatsisname)
is it possible on our legendary phone ? :d

I think it all depends if the first generation devices (HD7,...) get the update to apollo. then we can expect an update to our hd2 to apollo or even to the real arm windows 8 (since they share the same kernel)

Apollo is not "WP8/Win8 ARM" and it should be the last update for WP7 devices, so you can count on it on HD2 I think.

Indeed I've also always read that Apollo is the codename for WP8.
Anyway I hope that there will be a WP8 rom that is runnable on HD2. I sometimes think to buy a native WP8 device, like HTC Titan or Nokia Lumia 800, but than I wouldn't need to follow the HD2 rom development anymore, something I couldn't live without at the moment

I'd like to see Ubuntu become available for the DHD. I'd definitely enjoy playing around with it. If Ubuntu for the PC could have easily run Adobe apps (out of the box) I would probably have been using it at home for the past few years. Would love to see it on our phones. It would help to breathe new life into the trusty DHD, if indeed the DHD can run it smoothly enough.

Canonical announced that the new Ubuntu OS would be available in two kinds of phones, one at the entry level and the other one called “High-end superphone."
The hardware requirements are quite acceptable. The Entry level Ubuntu smartphone needs to have at least a 1Ghz Cortex A9 (single core as the bare minimum), 512MB or 1GB memory, a 4-8GB eMMC + SD for storage, and Multi-touch capability.
The high-end Ubuntu "superphone" is a little more demanding and will need at least Quad-core A9 or Intel Atom processors, minimum 1GB for memory, minimum 32GB eMMC + SD for storage, and Multi-touch.
The difference between the two models will consist in what Canonical calls “Desktop convergence.” With the help of a dock and a monitor, the high-end Ubuntu "superphone" can be turned into a thin client for Ubuntu.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
despite the fact that QSD8255 architecture is simliar to Cortex A8, it easily reaches 1.5-1.7Ghz and with 700MB RAM it should be well above the minimum requirements, so performance shouldn't be an issue in any way..... Let's hope devs will succeed in integrating A8 based CPUs drivers.
I doubt, that it will be usefull. Just think about all the apps that support sharing with other OS and the SaaS through browsers. no need for DHD ubuntu here.
Ubuntu is a hell ride on desktop due to Unity. Hope it becomes joy ride on mobile phone.

Hey,
I think one of the main problem will be the disk space because I think it will be impossible to run a dual dual on a acceptable speed. But as on every OS, the apps will decide.
Anyway, it will be nice to see some players on the field of the market
I think Ubuntu Phone OS will work with DHD. Its Linux Kernel, Linux OS. Its would be great when they release the source code.
Just remember HTC Said about the Sense 4.0 it will not work correctly on the DHD, it will lag. Now the DHD has Sense 4.1, we also have jellybean and icecream sandwich.
For the DHD there is no such word as can't.
I think it would take a long time to port Ubuntu to DHD
