when does the hd2 get android 4.0???? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

The new android 4.0 is uber uber cool. Any news as to when our beloved hero htc hd2 will be able to get this ported ?
I cannot wait for the port ill be the first to try the beta when atleast 70% features working.
Let me know if u have any info on that thanks

Android 4.0 should be pushed to AOSP when the Galaxy Nexus is released. Or so I read.. Mid November ish

I suspect it will need to be a "slim" rom to work with so little memory on the phone, but I'll tru it myself as well

[CLOSED] ANDROID/MAEMO/LINUX on HD2:) [NO MORE ACTIVE!!]

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)?

yeh but look at the possibilities of where we were and where we are today. progress is being made every day now, i hope you go throught the irclogs if so, and it takes time to achieve every goal. a seed doesnt grow into a tree in a day, it takes time and thats whats being talked here. so it wont be hard enough for us to get to the deep of the phone when it comes. cheers.

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.

[Q] Android 2.3 on GT i 5800 ?

Android 2.3 on GT i 5800 ?
...is possible, but nobody has did it yet.
I think that we never don't see Android 2.3 on our phone :-/ If you want you must buy new phone....and Samsung get again our money
Just look over there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045224
What are the advantages of 2.3 ?
Just use Google ! -> http://lmgtfy.com/?q=android gingerbread advantages
hi
just for ur info it has already been very successfully ported on the HTC tattoo
and i have used the same everything was working fine but i did not see anything great about it but the tattoo is less powerful than our phone so all we need to do is wait for one our great developers to make it happen
Yes I think too : our developers will soon make us a 2.3 Rom
I hope developers to work on this please

ICS or not ICS: that is the question

As in title, can we hope to see Ice Cream Sandwitch on our Tattoo sooner or later (maybe through CyanogenMod)? The Android team said that EVERY phone that had Gingerbread can have ICS: it's the same for the Tattoo or it's not doable due to the limited hardware (I also mean screen size)?

i really hope we can see this happen
but for now i think it's to early to say. high end phones have no info yet, so we gotta be very patient ICS source is not out yet...
so for now, we are happy that we have 2.3.7 which isn't on many high end devices
this is a nice read
http://www.androidcentral.com/ice-cream-sandwich-what-happens-next
We have to wait until Google releases the source-code. After that, we can see if our device will be able to run ICS
I have actually given up the hope to upgrade my tattoo further than 2.3.7, because I don't feel that my phone can use the new features in 4.0 so what's the point ^^ GPU Accelerated UI and better dual core support isn't very much for the tattoo. The ride with my tattoo has however been really nice, and it was a really good way to get introduced to android Galaxy Nexus here I come?

It's sad to say this, but I think you're right :')
Consider that the Nexus S is now almost the price I payed my tattoo 2 years ago: maybe it's time to switch in the near future...
In the meanwhile... ICS IS OUT IN THE WILD RIGHT NOW, GUYS!! So, let's see if there's some more juice to squeeze out from our little tattoo!

Great news!

The alpha build look slow on the G1. Hopefully some tweaking could cause performance improvements.

Hi Guys,
What do you think about this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511495
Looks like there's a chance to get ICS in our Tattoos
I have checked it yesterday.
stelios97 has ported it to both X10 mini and wildfire,
so there is very good chance that we can have ics miui for tattoo.
But then I wonder, is there any dev still holding a Tattoo to help us.
Would be really nice to have MIUI on our tattoo.
It would even be better than having ICS!

The other day I read that 2.3.7 source for MIUI was released
http://shrewdgeek.com/2012/02/04/xiaomi-makes-miui-gingerbread-2-3-7-open-source/
all we need is to get it compiled for ARM v6
Where are the developers for tattoo roms?
Arco? Kalimocho? rallapag? you've also done some ports, didn't you?
can someone port MIUI to our tattoo?
i don't know much about android rom development, but i think it wouldn't be much more work to port this miui rom than port some sense roms. a wildfire version is already available.
Its more some driver related things, i think
can someone try it please?
Hi .dot
You know, I am not a dev.
What ever I do, I am afraid it will be incomplete like my sense 2.3 rom port.
We need a real dev, unfortunately Arif-ali as well gave up working on Tattoo yesterday has indefinitely stopped android development.
ics
i really hope that there will be a new rom.cause i´m a little bored with my tattoo and the nfinity-rom. i hope that the dev will start to work on it..it would be fantastic!PLEASE
There you go guys,
A test version of CM9 is here for Tattoo

[Q] Android 4.2.1

Hello,
Someone is working on porting the new Android Jelly Bean v4.2.x?
I'm sure they are, just be patient. Don't ask for ETAs

I'm not asking for ETA, I just wanted to know if someone is already working on, and not when it will be released
Hopefully tytung is Gina do it

well according to what ive been reading on twitter from the cynogen mod team
its laggy and unusable on a few phones they have got it working on
so may be quite awhile till it even branches down to the hd2
My personal opinion is that hd2 and devices with same or lower specs are dead devices for new android versions.With 4.1.2 allready lags in many ways and i dont think that this will magically get fixed.I am also really sad that many devs that started the hd2 android project arent anymore in the scene.The only hope to get a fully working 4.1.2 and 4.2 is to have all devs that worked in hd2 to work again on it.

First, sorry for my English.
Why do you think HD2 is dead device? Last week WP8 was ported to the HTC LEO and Desire C have almost the same hardware. As I remember that phone is supported by CM. Anyway I don't like buy a new device because have bigger, more numbers of CPU/GPU/RAM etc etc if my phone works enough fast. Why, Why I need buy a "new" device?? Because is supporting official by HTC?
BTW// HTC was twitt photo of HD2 and write some about working OSes on in it but nothing more...
My previous phone was HTC Magic and that phone had only one year fully supporting. Official still have Android 1.5 in Europe!! I'll never trust that company about support in the future.
Now I think even tytung (who is greatest small user) or DFT support that phone longer. Another devs did and doing great stuff of course too
Do you remember Desire HD and complain about Sense 3.5 or Desire about update to 2.3.. I don't have words for this.

Did some tests trying to boot 4.2 but it doesn't boot.logcat gives netd 1.0 loading
We will have to wait for a new kernel to support 4.2 that's all i can say from the logcat

Unofficial Android 6.0 maybe coming to Nexus One

Guys, good news! It looks like Dmitry Grinberg is working on a Marshmallow port for the Nexus One! If you don't know who Dmitry Grinberg is, he is the hacker who works at Google and he ported Marshmallow to the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 7 2012. Other than these two ancient devices, he was also able to make Android M run on the Nexus S.
From his posting on his website, he is now focusing on the Nexus One!
http://dmitry.gr/index.php?r=06. Thoughts&proj=05. Android M on Nexus S
dookie23, I get the excitement over porting Android 6.0 to those "ancient devices," but that accomplishment pales in comparison to the Nexus One - the latter represents the original "smart" that was added to Android phones at the Dawn of Mankind ... (Jan 2010). Cue Also sprach Zarathustra (Strauss). . .
I have found some M and L ports for our Nexus One on google but did not have the time to try.
Has anyone tried any, if so which one?
Cheers..
Could you please share those roms, I googled and couldn't find any Marshmallow rom.
If he wants to do it he will do it , i know its possible even the htc HD2 got M working and nexus 1 and HTC HD2 have mostly the same hardware.
I OWN BOTH OF THEM
Holy wow! I came here per chance after being out of touch with android developments for so long. I cherished some hope when 4.0 came out and it was being ported. But builds were wonky and incomplete (as I remember at that time) and my hope of a stable daily driver quickly faded.
This was the last thing I expected to see here. Super exciting!
In order to be able to use these the font package and keyboard need to be updated to recognize the emoji otherwise you get a symbol in its place because it's seeing code it can't translate and you wouldn't be able to select the new emoji without the keyboard being Speed Test updated to show them as well.
