Real and old news, those pics were from months ago. Cotulla has now given up development on the HD2 though.

He's decided that the HD2's hardware is simply too old and outdated to continue developing on. As for the second question, I honestly don't have any idea since I'm no dev.

Far from perfect, but it would definitely be a lot better and I'd probably still be using mine right now.

Hi,
Does anyone know a HD MINI WP7 ROM in portuguese? Really liked to have Windows Phone 7 on my HD Mini.
Hope for your answers.
if you will search and read around here you will see that its IMPOSSIBLE to install WP7 on ANY device made prior to WP7 release due to many requirements and stuff..all you can get is a WP7 theme

Yes it did, and the HD2 is the ONLY device that's able to run WP7 and that did come out before WP7 itself.
man, we all raped of our money by htc for hd mini, they could have told us to wait until wp7 is out. J

You could have opened your eyes too, of course. There were rumours talking about WP7 in February 2010. HD Mini came out in May...
Soo yeah, It was on the main page recently that a build of windows phone 7 would soon be released for HD2. I know I'm begging for a good flaming for this but is there anywhere I can find an update on the status of this project? I know its a locked down OS and blah blah blah but I use the HD2 as my business phone and would like it to have a more business appeal to it. Does amnyone have an idea on the status of this project?

WM7 will come , but like chefs told its just a demo. i dont think its will for a daily use. Android is enough .
i just don't get it. can't the device handle the os?
I think it comes down to if the team is willing to crack the OS so everything works. Last I heard, the thing thats holding back release and making the OS usable would be Windows Genuine Phone. It prevents non-genuine versions of windows phone to work properly. Without live tiles and access to apps, the usefulness of windows phones is non-existent.

of course it can, its just the fact that porting a complete OS is a massively complex task that us mere mortals can barely even comprehend.....
the devs need time and for others to be patient....
Well I'm gonna patiently wait. Android is helping bide the time, but I'm ready for some new microsoft goodies.

You´ll be surprised soon with Leo running smoothly WP7
You can read how well all is going on Windows Phone 7 section.
By now we must have patience and support the great masters like Cotulla and Da_G just for mention some.

Yep, Meego does look promising. Definitely looks like it would be good to have a play about with.
Going OT slightly, I'm actually really disappointed that Nokia went with Windows and not Android. I would have loved to see some Nokia Android phones! I was always a big fan of their handsets back in the day... oh how I miss my N95 8GB

i think after symbian died nokia saw an opportunity to strike a big partnership with a massive company, they want the kind of relationship HTC used to have with Microsoft. after all it was windows mobile that made HTC the company it is but it was also HTC that made Windows Mobile the success it is now, HTC have clearly taken google's side in the "OS Wars" so nokia are sneaking in to take HTC's place in Microsofts bed lol

Found this in the real WP7 forums. To me this makes copy and paste secondary.
Looks like the there are good things to come with the mango update. Just have to wait for the release now and then hope that the devs get it running on our HD2s
Yeah, the multitasking looks great.... similar to how webOS did it. I saw about this a couple days ago. Can't wait til it's working on our HD2s.

I haven't heard anything about this... where did you hear that. I don't think MS will waste their time worrying about the small percentage of HD2 users using wp7.

no itisn't , it s blocking ''chevron.exe'' but we can edit the rom to look like hd7 before inistalling it on our hd2 so we won't chevron.exe anymore
IE9 uses hardware acceleration for it to run smooth HTML5. Do our HD2's even have that hardware?
aye, we do have quite a good 3D chip built in, Wm6 would have been amazing if it could have been used! drivers being the issue.
But anyway assuming it will even install it will be just fine as it uses the same GPU as the HD7

In terms of hardware the HD2 is equal or superior (more RAM than the Optimus 7 and Omnia 7) to any current WP7 native device. Only drawback is the lack of 4 point multitouch. Everything else is 1:1.
Dear Amazing developers,
I am sure you have encountered this question several times but I just need to understand if I can install Android system on my HTC Trophy 7, I am hating how microsoft is hounding their users in such stupid way. Please advise.
Thank you so much
Not possible....yet. But, team from XDA.CN are working on Android ROM currently for HTC HD7. I think that if they make it for HD7, it could be done for all wp7s out there...
Here's the video about their progress.
Bye!

thank you so much, do u know an estimate or a time range?
Unfortunately noone does... I can guess that it might me avalible in let's say 1 month or more... If you ask me, I would love it to be avalible tomorrow, but i highly
doubt it happening.
We can only say thumbs up for this project and keep our fingers crossed that they
don't encounter heavy problems during the realisation of this project!
looooooool... Yep thats exactly what am doing RIGHT NOW
I can wait , just cant get into WP7 Ive tried and tried to like it but its still a 50/50 thing.
i think if the HD7 has nand Android i think its not so hard to port then Android
to Trophy and Mozart because they has the same CPU.

Why don't you just sell you WP7 phone and get yourself a new Android device ? The market price on a Trophy is as high as it's going to be, so you'll get the most for it now.
Also you don't not have to worry about Hacking Android to get it on the phone, that sometimes might not offer the best performace or hardware not working correctly.
Just wondering...
Is there anything new about putting Android on HTC Trophy, since last reply and asking about this was about the end of April..?
Thanks, and thumbs up for developers...
Nope, nothing new.
Please get yourself and stock android phone, i perfer WP7 over ANDROID everyday.
because they all have android least the trophy? Someday there will be someone dared you succeed? (before you break into pedas) jajaja
Some info to all the xda.cn video is just a fake confirmed by cotulla
anyone knows if somebody is doing it..? I mean, dooes it 'fits' on HTC Trophy..?
thanks
Why would anyone want to do this? And even more important why would anyone want to build a ROM? Screw Android. I'd rather someone make a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM for the Trophy instead of this crap.
I do not agree with you... I believe it would be better if android fits on HTC Trophy... That possibility would be great!
