Just to let you know:
For all the users in Europe, the HD2 with Android seems to be the only chance to get some kind of a light version of the "HTC EVO 4G". In fact, there wouldn't be that much difference.
The Motorola Milestone (= your "Droid") has not only a signed bootloader wich only accepts signed images, it also has a hughe bug in audio quality.
And the Desire (= 99% your Nexus one) has a crappy screen! (due to the Pentile Matrix of the AMOLED Display)
Alternatives? NO! At least nothing in the "Nexus class".
Android on the HD2 would not only be a "geek hack" or just "fun". It would be something awesome and insane, no other product or money could give you (at least in Europe, where we might never see the EVO 4G)
I and a big bunch of other users here, "over the pond", really, really hope, the XDA Devs will make it!
My honest respect and good luck to all the Devs who might bring a second Christmas Day into 2010 with Android on the HD2.
This is not limited to the fine folks on the other side of the pond. I'm in the states with an HD2 (duh) on T-Mo. Not to say T-mo is the end all beat all, buy I really don't wan't to go Sprint. Nothing against the Sprint network, as my professional experience shows it's as good if not superior to T-Mo in my area of travel.
Still, I would love to have an android device that's fully functional. And since I have not the technical where-with-all, I rely, as usual, on the brains here at XDA.

oh god... please dont say its not that much of a diffrense... thats the most retarded **** to say.. first of all. if u dont have a hd2 why the **** would u be asking for android all over the place.. and that proves that obviouslly u can't just go buy another 600 dollar phone right?? so its alot of diffrense... The android coming out on hd2 as another phone doesnt do ****.. its just retarded, it just makes most hd2 users feel sick to their stomach that they are stuck with the piece of **** winmo os
these threads are just annoying, its not on the hd2 yet, maybe one day, you had 14 days with most networks to return the phone and change it a android phone, yeah be cool if it comes in hd2 if it doesnt so what!!! same with WP7 if either of them cone cool.
Just to let you know:
the majority of the HD2 owners don't give a damn about android on the HD2. It'll be a cool novelty idea when it'll come to fruition, but other than that, it's nothing to bust your nut over.

Exactly, most people who bought the HD2 bought it because it's a WinMo phone. That's how most smartphone users pick their phone... by what os it runs. Why would you buy a WinMo device if you didn't want a WinMo device? If you bought it just for the big screen or fast processor, you're impatient and dumb.... there will be phones just as fast with just as big screens for android soon enough. Even the next iphone will have a processor just as fast and have a higher-resolution screen (although, not quite as big).

I don't understand what you're saying. You responded to this thread that's been dead for 2 weeks to argue with the op.... but you're stating that winmo is a piece of ****, so wouldn't you agree with the op as he is stating he wants android on the HD2. What am I missing? And most HD2 users are quite happy with WinMo.... why else would they have bought a HD2, a WinMo device. And why did you buy it if you think WinMo is a piece of ****?
alldino, I think you didn't get me!
I don't own a HD2. I have a Milestone (US=Droid) and a Desire (US=Nexus).
The Milestone has a big bug in speech quality, the Desire has a crappy screen.
So there is actually no device with "perfect hardware".
The HD2 does have a great hardware, but WinMo - and I want Android!
and btw. there is NOT much difference between the HD2 and the EVO 4G!
"Just" a higher MP cam, HDMI and more RAM and ROM as far as I know off-hand now.
this will be my one and only reply in an "android on hd2" thread (not including the one that, one day, will officially announce android for hd2 )
IMVHO, if something "linux-ish" has to be ported to HD2, it would be extremely silly that it was android. Android!=linux, linux>>android
Android comes from linux, but it's so underdeveloped and sectorialized that it retains just a little bit resemblance with the flexibility of proper linux.
I am really counting on the fact that something like meego will come to the HD2.
Luckily, as soon as it will be possible to port android, it will always be possible to port meego/moblin/maemo to it.

I, too, look forward to the linux kernel port being completed and seeing the different os's that get ported. Meego would be awesome... I haven't had an opportunity to play with it, unfortunately, so a port to the HD2 would provide me that opportunity. I'd also like to see Ubuntu on the HD2. Android will be nice because of the variety of apps it will open the HD2 up to, but I wouldn't use android full-time. But thats why I love the idea of using haret to boot the linux kernel... I get to keep winmo as my main phone os, but can boot up a linux os when I want to.

I'm sure there will be some Android phone released in europe in the next few months that have as good of specs as the HD2. Definitely by the time there is a functional android port for the HD2, there will be Android phones that are comparable.

Any chance you could tone down the language?
I personally bought the Hd2 simply because the hardware is just awesome. Never used Winmobile before so I really didn't know what to expect and quite frankly I don't think it's as stable as the Iphone I sold to get the Hd2. Does that bother me? Nope, not a bit. To me, the tweaking and modding, hacking etc... that's the fun part. Android? I say, bring it on! The more I can modify and tweak and hack, that makes me a happy camper!
I, unfortunately, also don't have the expertise to write the coding to do these marvelous things so I'm also waiting patiently for some of the supergeeks,(and I mean that with the utmost respect), to come up with these solutions and programs so that I can run whatever OS that's available for my new toy. I say, the more choices I have, the more fun I'll have!
I currently have a Samsung galaxy s and I'm pretty happy with it, but at the same time the development for it is starting to bore me, IV realised this is because I'm getting a bit bored with android in general. I just want a bit of a change and nothing really offers that more that the hd2 and its abilities to run 5 different operating systems. But ofcouse to get one I will need to sell my galaxy s to raise the money. I was just wondering if anyone thought this is a good idea?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using my thumbs
I would get the HD2, the samsung galaxy has a better screen as in quality and detail but I like the flexibility of the HD2. Plus it all has to do preference. Its what you LIKE and WANT. Do some research (it already looks like it) and I'm sure you'll realize what you want
yes, because at least you can generate a bit profit from selling galaxy s to buy a hd2, lol.
Anyway, about 5 OS on hd2, don't expect too much!!! Only wm6.5 and android are quite stable at the moment.
WP7? it seems ok with some people now, but when M$ announces wp7's update (very soon indeed), who knows what will happen???
Meego: it's so lagging and some developers have just left that project.
Ubuntu: how much time did you spend with ubuntu on your laptop?
So moving to hd2 because of android while you already have very good one? Or do you want to try the last decade's wm6.5?
I understand what you mean about the is situation bit at the same time, from what I gather, the development scene will continue for a long time on the hd2, whereas the galaxy can only go so far, and if I must confess I'm a bit of flash junkie so hd2 will keep me plenty entertained

One of my friends came round with a SGS, and I was quite impressed with the screen, and the overall responsiveness, but as a fellow flash junkie, I would recommend sawing off ur sgs in two, selling one part, and buying half a hd2, and gluing them together.
If that's not an option for u, go with the HD2

Well, if you really like hd2, go on then! I've moved from motorola miletone to blackberry, then htc mozart, finally hd2 now, never ever regret it! 4.3 inches screen is great and always fits my palm.
But in case u feel like "uhm ..uhm maybe hd2 a good choice but...uhm...not sure though...", my advice is sticking with ur current one, as I know that galaxy s is very good as well!
About the flexibility in flashing roms on hd2, to be honest, i was just excited in first few days, and then realised that i can't have enough time to follow every single rom updated daily by hundreds developers, so i chose one rom working fine for me (even bugs still occur) and dont care about anything else!

I'm sure galaxy development will go on as long as the hd2.... the galaxy s series in general is a much more popular series of phones and there are more galaxy s users than hd2 users, so development will go on. But the HD2 is a great phone for being able to run multiple os's... I love being able to dual-boot with WP7 on my main memory and running android off my sd card... both are running very well. Let me warn you, though... the battery life on the wp7 and android ports are not nearly as good as native phones. You'll have to charge your phone twice as much. It can be hard to get a full day out of a charge if you use your phone a decent amount. I recommend getting a spare battery or an external backup battery if you use your phone a lot.
nope !! get a n0kia 3310 !
If what you want to tinker around with your phone, try out stuff every day or two, and I mean literally, then by all means, the HD2 is your phone. However take note, as said above, only android and winmo work "perfect" and the others are a bit iffy.
Nobody knows what will happen to WP7 on the HD2 once that update hits, and it sounds very grim in my opinion. WP7 on the HD2 has problems also, you can read up on the problems in our porblem thread in our HD2 WP7 Q&A dedicated forum.
Ubuntu is not a fun ride on the HD2 either, since despite the 4.3" screen, it's still too small for the OS.
MeeGo seems to be coming along but I don't expect it to reach the stability of android on our HD2's, any time soon.
So think about what you want first. If you wants a phone that works great for what it has, then the galaxy s is your phone. However if you want to tinker,, the HD2 is your phone. Just know, the HD2 while very well rounded, does not excell in one OS.
i am also thinking of buying an HD2... is an in-depth comparison between android HD2 and Desire? battery life? performance? etc...

If you just want to run android, you'd be better off with a native android phone... you get much better battery life with use on a native phone. But the hd2 makes a good android phone for the price, but you will have to put time and work into learning how to set it up and work past any bugs to get it running good. One positive about the hd2 is you can run windows on it too if you don't mind running android off sd card.

i don't mind having windows mobile on it... having multiple OSes sounds exciting... was reading that with the latest nand android, battery life improved but is it still that far away from a native android phone like u r saying?
Hey there.
I have a Galaxy S, rooted, modified to the max, tried out most of the roms, kernels and so on.
Just last week i found out that HD2 is capable of Win7 AND Android. At first it felt like a stupid idea, HD2 is too old.
After some research, youtube and XDA I have decided. Tomorrow afternoon some guy comes home to me and make the switch.
A larger screen, multi-OS and the fun of changing phones is my reasons
You will see more of me in this part of XDA
Please forgive my bad english!

If you keep your wireless off and keep battery eating things off during standby, you can get ok standby battery life, but its nothing like a native phone. During actual use of the phone, battery drains fast. A few hours of use will kill your battery... an hour of using xda app will take 25% off my battery. My brother has a galaxy s series phone, and his battery will easily last 2-3 times what mine will last of actual use.

You might have gotten more helpful, less defensive responses if you didn't end the OP with:
"Its a slick, nice phone, but its a shame to be stuck with Microsofts os."
Anywho... There is currently no Android ROM for the Focus. As others have said, there are other handsets made by Samsung with nearly identicle specs and looks that are already running android, so there won't likely ever be an android ROM for the focus.
If buying a new handset is out, understandably, look into trading a Captivate or Galaxy S owner for your Focus.
hmmm I understand where you're coming from, but honestly, why would i be seeking android if I was impressed with wp7? It seems to me that if there are already samsung phones with nearly identical specs that run android, that one of these marvelous cooks would be all over porting it. I mean, I can't even count how many roms have come out for the hd2, and they are pretty much ported from similar htc phones with similar hardware. Do cooks/devs just not like playing with samsung?
Apparently, it is a different bird.
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
We can't even find an stock WP7 ROM for focus, let alone other ROMs.
Typically, Samsung phones get very little tractions in devs because of the lack of stock ROMs (for Windows Mobile and Windows Phone OSes).
You can't judge an OS through an unofficial port of an OS that is not meant for your HD2. Regardless how you think it is, HD2 is a piece of junk designed for Windows Mobile 6.5, IMHO.
And regardless how you think Android is cool, it is piece of junk OS the way Samsung implemented it on Galaxy S, IMHO. And Android ROMs on Focus, if ever happened, will be ported over from its Galaxy S ROMs. So, don't expect any better results coming out of it.

Truth has to be told. HD2 was a fantastic phone.... two years ago. Its hardware is way ahead of its time and WinMo 6.5 can barely harness all of its power back then. It's a shame really. Nowadays, however, it barely matches mid level smartphones from Android or WP7.
I personally am an android fan I have lg g2x im in here for my fiances focus looking around . I like how responsive the wp7 os is but at the same time when I play with her focus it seems like there is nothing today besides social websites(facebook,etc..) I like android for the customizations but android phones are not as responsive as wp7 plus on any android phone i have had there was always bugs. I would like android customization plus the ui with the stability of wp7.

3.htc titan

should i stick to android or switchover to windows 7.5???
If you are looking for development, then look at the Incredible S / Desire S rather than the Rhyme. IMO, it won't pick up as much as the other 2 I listed, and development will not be that much (Eg - Check Salsa / Wildfire S, Practically Zero Dev, and Rhyme doesn't have a section of it's own yet). As for WP, I have no idea honestly. Your best bet is to visit some of the WP7 devices and check for the level of development on their respective fora.

You were already told that if development is a priority, then stick with Android, and avoid the Rhyme. If you need more specifics, your queries have to be more specific.

Thanx for reply everyone....I was looking for incredible s by I didn't like it much how about desire HD,sensation and evo 3d
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Evo 3D is seriously overpriced. Are you sure you are ready to spend 35K on what is essentially a gimmick? That apart, the phone itself is pretty good. Same goes for Sensation, which is a good phone in itself. (Although there are quality issues, like the touch screen stops responding, the headphone jack stops working etc - There ARE fixes available, detailed on XDA itself, but when I spend 30K on a phone, I would expect better quality). Besides, with a budget of 28-30K, I would definitely pick the Galaxy S2 over the Sensation. There's probably a reason why it's among the worlds best selling high end phones, and the Sensation is nowhere close to it.
Of that 3 you just listed, I would pick the Desire HD, simply because it's good Value for money (It *should* be, I am not too sure what the price of one is anymore. I *think* the Incredible S replaced it, so availability can be an issue), and, it has one of the strongest dev communities here on XDA without doubt.

Id go with titan any time. With a phone like that, who needs developing, youll get updates. Android on the other side is evolving fast and your phone will get outdated soon.

I would wait for a couple of months. Prices will drop significantly with the ICS releases.
If you can't wait just get an HTC with android. So you can have a chance to choose between sense and aosp. desire s makes sense. shouldn't depreciate much in value.
Time for some speculations! What is 2012 gonna bring for our beloved HD2? Do you think we will get the camera working on ICS? What new features will be introduced with Android Jelly Bean and will we get a functional port?
Are our awesome devs possibly even gonna port further OSs?
Or are you guys planning to replace your HD2 with quadcore smartphones hitting the market next year? Voice your opinion here and have a Happy New Year!

I definitely think we'll have the camera working in ICS but then surely it has to be the end of the line. I've already moved on to the Galaxy Nexus which seems to be attracting lots of development work.

How about the mysterious magldr 2.00? I think now its a canned project with too many of the small bugs not worth the extra legwork. And it sounds like dft has had enough with whats been going on elsewhere.
I think that the developers will allow us to keep the HTC HD2 for at least six month yet.

Certainly, but the HTC HD2, in performance, does not have anything to envy.
I've been ready for an update since like May, 2011, but there is nothing I see worth me committing 2 more years without me leaving T-Mobile. I'm digging the RAZR, but I don't want to leave T-Mobile, I'm also looking at what WP7 does this year.

Hopefully WP7 can come already unlocked with activation keys no more chatting with Microsoft for HD7 keys.....

Certainly, but the HTC HD2, in performance, does not have anything to envy.

I'd love for more developers to do SD versions of WP7 and Android.
OR find some way to dual-boot WM6 and anything else. WM6 is very efficient for what I like to do and I don't want to leave it yet.
The Opera browser is awesome in WM6. I never have to hit any physical buttons and it retains all my tabs even if I do lots of other things. In Android it just closes my browser if I start doing other things and I have to reload all my tabs..
I hope w 8 Release
I found after moving to the Galaxy S2 that the HD2 especially when running cm7 is still more than enough for everyday use and I would quite happily pinch it back off of my missus lol. However if you like to game I found that the Adreno 200 is far to weak in 2011/12, even the more basic games can struggle to perform well e.g Random Mahjong etc. I can see it definitely running ICS quite well and getting some love from that department after that not so sure... No Windows 8 for sure lol.
I quite like the look of he Galaxy Note, but I'm not sure that I'm ready to move away from sense yet :/

Until the loud ear peice volume is fixed, I don't see the attarction
technically the phone will be fine until its fully run ICS update, so i think that the future half of the 2012 will be well lived by Leo's
and if it runs well (like any 3.5 ginger-sense roms) the ICS Sense, hd2 will live much more
i feel the same. every fone out there can be my hd2. no need to upgrade till we get some true improvements in hardware. htc and hd2 rule
