Hi there everyone, I have a simple question:
I intend to try and change the actual WM 6.5 on my htc touch viva to android (rom, not by SD card) and I would like to know the new battery performance in the same equipment, running android (of course, starting from the state that I'm really able to move to Android)!
Anyone knows? =) thanks in advance
you can't install android into rom
you can find all information about android here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628917
i've already read that topic among others.... and I intended to unlock the rom, 'till I found that those programs needed to do that wouldn't run in my X64 bit processor :'(
It is said that is possible to run Android from a ROM instead of SD card...
First of all lets not turn this into a war of the mobile OS's....Everyone has their own oppinions and needs, which is why there will NEVER be a definitive answer to the Question: Which is better, WinMo or Android? So please dont start flamewars or fanboy arguments in this thread.
The purpose of this poll is to determine how many of you will be 'switching' to Android on a pemanent basis, and how many of you will be sticking with Windows Mobile in some capacity.
I ask this because originally when I first tested Android, I envisaged myself sticking with Windows Mobile when a flashable Android ROM was released.
Then as great progress began to be made with the AndroidHD2 development, I began to think that windows was dead to me and I eagerly awaited the NAND version of Android.
Now I am beginning to think that I might stick with a dual boot option even when the NAND version comes. Ideally I would like to have Android as my flashed ROM with a version of WM 6.5.x running from SD as a dual boot option.
So... When the NAND Flashable version of Android for HD2 comes...What will you do?
(I know this should be in the 'General HD2 Android' section but there isn't one...yet. Mods, please move when possible).
I like the widgets and backgrounds, android is just so much easier.
But for tomtom, I'll still be using my winmo. Some stuff just req windows to function.
So, best of both worlds, I guess..
If i can still retain WinMo then sure, why not... but if it's not possible then i'll stick to the Micro SD card. I wouldn't want to give up my ability to dual boot.
The Android builds are fast enough anyways on the card and i'm sure a class 6 Micro SD will be faster than the NAND anyways.
As well as in PCs, having dual boot means you can use both OSes Apps. So I will stick to dual boot.
I plan on buying the next big android phone tmobile and htc come up with (and i have a nexus one), so my hope for the hd2 is flashing wp7. I dont know if you nand flash if you would be able to flash wp7 if there are gonna be wp7 roms.
ANDROID: NAND
WINMO:SD card
Ubuntu: SD card
iOS4: SD card
and I wish having a new bootloader possible to select before splashscreen.
Cheer!

Now THATS what Im talkin about!
Even the iOS4 might make it onto my card if a version was ever released for HD2...one more app store cant hurt
Here's the thing
If we flash Android to nand, will there be any going back? Will there ever be updates to future versions of android? This is the primary thing to me, if the dev's will continue to upgrade Android for future versions then I might flash, but if it's kind of a one and done, I'd probably stick with dual booting. I'm also hoping that there is eventually a wp7 port for the hd2 as well...
I'm thinking if it's worth investing in a class 6 card to keep dualboot, what do u guys think about the performance difference between NAND and Class 6?

same for me, the other gps software are.... not as good and easy as tomtom.
I will use Winmo for tomtom only and the rest on android
maybe tomtom release a android version

Would it ever be possible to have iOS on a hd2? That would be great for all the extra apps.
I am happy with Android on SD card and dual booting.
I prefer the functionality of a dual boot, but in appealability I would much prefer to run Android as a day to day phone when the nand is finally ported. But I wouldn't jump in feet first,I'd hope that it was totally reversible and not flash back & forth,just that winmo could stay as an option to return to. And that the devs can continue to feed us with fresher versions when they become available.

And I'm thinking there is a different thread on that subject
i prefer winmo over the android , im returning to winmo , its just my openion :!
Bye bye winmo
The only thing that winmo is doing in my phone right now is to help me to run haret.
sure i would flash it, just to satisfy my curiosity, but i would eventually stick with dual booting winmo and android on SD.
NAND is so close....the Devs are finishing the structure port...them is a question of work to give the polish in all.
today the dev work is located on leds notification.
were is the status thread?
for the poll, I will make what turns more eficient the performance of Android....including the question of baterie life, very important.

This is great news! i really do start reading the dev channel logs to keep up to date
triple booting
i am sticking with triplebooting android ,ubuntu,winmo.i am using a class 4 card and the speed is great,moving up to class 6 .my hd2 with android scores better than my brothers evo on linpack,and quadrant.
At the moment I will stay on dual boot. Cant wait for a really stable Android for HD2 If we can get TomTom or iGO8 on Android then i will go with it on NAND.
Hi
Im considering getting the HD2 due to the great mod community surrounding it however I've heard that its quite unstable with most ROMs, is this true? Also is it stable when dual booting with android and windows phone 7? Particularly for android as I'm quite an android enthusiast. I use a class 4 16gb card and i could apply the read/write mod in android if that helps. Is there a way to quickly switch between windows phone 7 and android by say pressing a button on boot like the xperia x10's recovery screen?
The instability you have heard about is the stock Windows Mobile ROM that comes on the HD2, but if you flash HSPL and a custom ROM from here on XDA like say an Energy ROM you will see none of that instability. I can not speak from personal experience with dual booting WP7b and Android as I have not flashed WP7. But the dual boot on Windows Mobile and Android is awesome I have a one touch boot app for mine that will allow me to choose on boot up if I want to boot Android or Windows Mobile. I say buy an HD2 you can not go wrong and you can get tons of support from here on XDA.
No it isn't unstable. Just some android roms you may find slow.
thanks sounds like a great phone to go to, specially after the x10! Although does anyone know if theres a way to make it so that you can boot into android when windows phone is booting up without having to set it in the recovery menu? I saw 1 post about it so im not too sure if it was possible or if they were talking about winmo/android
can someone give me a good guide to dual boot, and a good combination of two roms?
It depends what do you want to dual boot?
Do you want to dual boot Windows Mobile and Android from SD card?
Or do you want to dual boot Windows Phone 7 and Android from SD card?
Also interest
Hello,
I'm also interst by dual boot SD/NAnd
I know W7 NAnd/Droid SD is possible but Droid Nand /W7 SD is possible ?
Thanks
After being frustrated with WM6.5 for over a year, then trying a few SD card roms I'd recommend a CM7 nand rom as your base. Very lightweight and blisteringly fast. Might dual boot myself soon but I'm so happy with my "new" phone now it's low down my priority list.
To be honest sense isn't my cup of tea either, my wife's Desire HD appears less slick than my HD2 on CM7 hyperdroid, not even same league, as long as you can live without senses gimmicks.
3 replies, and no one has answered his question. geez.
here's a link to the guide. if this doesn't help, then i don't know what will. it's completely step-by-step:

Also, i would suggest trying to flash a NAND ROM on your HD2. The phone is much faster.

windows mobile and android from SD
Hey All,
I am new to the HD2, i bought it after i gave my HTC Desire to my girlfriend and found out the HD7 i got was not correct for my network (dodgy australian thing). So i sold the HD7 an with the money bought a HD2 and had some spare
What i want to do is see if I can triple boot the HD2. That is use WinMo 6.5 on the nand and boot WP7 and Android from SD.
I have found this article:
http://www.techautos.com/2011/01/24/htc-hd2-triple-boots-windows-phone-7-android-winmo-6-5/
it links to XDA here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913815
I have read that thread and it seems to deal with dual booting WP7 and Android... have i read it wrong and these are the instructions for triple booting?
If they arnt, is it possible to even triple boot these os'es or is simply impossible at this stage?
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
Triple booting is NOT an option.
I do not think there is any way of booting WM 6.5 or 7 from sd.
So you are left with any other combination.
There was work on getting WM6.5 booting from SD but I think that has been abandoned.
Currently you can boot...
NAND: Android, WM, WP (One or the other)
SD: Android, Ubuntu, Meego
Being able to boot WP7 from SD would be awesome..
