Big Thank you to all Contributors!

These devices right out of the box just don't seem ready for market. Whether its some draconian bootloader not letting one install the ROM he wants or tweaks and settings that arent right, out of the box they leave quite a bit to be desired.
But then i comes the people of this board. As i read through the extensive wiki and went through the process of flashing new ROMs on my Hermes I really came to appreaciate the MASSIVE amount of effort put in by this community in order to allow this PDA to really live up to its potential.
So thank you to all the contributors! I couldn't have even begun this process without your help.

i agreee with you

Me too. You folks are great!!!

ditto!
I would probably have sent this thing back were it not for sleuth255 and mikechannon and goestoeleven and others working on this forum.
fortunately htc has this free resource to fix their buggy phones.
i'm still eagerly awaiting the 8525 aku3.3 update. cingular had said it was due out by feb 1st, but here it isn't. maybe it will be soon. I still wake up with a locked up phone pretty often.
thanks to all of you that have helped make this feature rich thing useable.
wes

Thank you and I too like this community

I agree with all the accolades given. I looked on this board before I bought the phone so I was prepared for what it was not when it came. I had also downloaded all the goodies and was ready to make it the way I wanted it. But since then, more and more things were discovered and shared. Right now, this phone is almost just right. There are a couple of things I am waiting for the new ROM to resolve, but it is currently the best device I have had yet.
As soon as a better toy comes out, I will quickly jump ship and take that one, but only if it has the kind of support this forum gives.

Anyone else not have the cupcake update?

its almost the end of june and yet no update yet just wondering if it was pushed back even farther since it was supposed to be released the 1st week of june. also could it not be updating because i have my phone rooted? thanks

If you want cupcake...go to the android development area of this forum. And load a custom cooked ROM onto your phone. You have root so you will NOT be getting the 1.5 update that t-mobile is currently rolling out in the U.S.

Like the others said, you have a rooted phone, which means you wont be getting OTA updates. Ever. You have to go to the "Android Development" subforum under Dream and find a ROM (JF/TheDude/etc) and follow the directions carefully. If you need help, search that forum, because there may have been someone else with the same problem.

has it not been on the site for some 2 months now? This thread is only going to turn into bashing

Did you bother to read it? Nowhere does it say that android is available for the HD2 from HTC. It's just some shop in the UK that is offering the option. They don't mention that they are voiding the factory warranty while they are doing it though.

spam. ban this guy.

SPAM???

Maybe it is a shop selling the phone whit a hack job install.
I saw it while playing on my new dual boot hd2 with android last night and thought it might be worth looking into by some of the xda experts. Ban me if you want, just telling you what I saw.
I'd post a pic of it here but can't even figure out how!!

Considering it's running off an SD Card and doesn't touch the NAND I really don't see how this would void any warranty.

All the link says is that you can install Android. And it's got the potential to 'provide a ɡrеаt boost tο thе sale οf thеѕе HTC HD2 contracts аnԁ thе pay аѕ уου ɡο mobile phones.', nowhere does it say it comes pre-loaded or you can buy a dualboot option.

Wanting a Tinker Phone. What do you think.

I currently have a Nexus One and will not be replacing it.
what im hoping to find out is what is the best tinker phone around.
im thinking the HD2 is for me because it can run windows 6.5,hope soon to have windows 7 , android, meego, ubuntu and who knows what else.
so what do you think? what is your tinker toy (phone).
My Currnet Tinker toy dont laugh at me but its a Motorola Backflip running 2.1.

I think the HD2 is a good choice, you definitely can play with it a lot, I had one before getting a Nexus but I preferred just having a stable build rather than having to continuously update and find a good build with the HD2.

You can find more information Here Its pretty cool. Runs anything that can possibly be made for an ARM, 3G capabilities, Sim Card slot the whole deal .

The HD2 can run Windows Phone 7? I thought like one video was released and a public build was never posted?

Have we done it before? I joined this month so I have no clue that it has been tried already

That is not going to happen, it's not that easy and remember, it's not Motorola anymore, it's lenovo.
If they decide to do it, that would be a mess at the time to get the update. I am pretty sure we needed to make a full wipe. It wouldn't be just an update, it would be installing a new system from scratch and that's not something a lot of people would like to do, including myself.
I haven't had any problem with the device running a 32bit system and I am pretty sure I won't.
I would like to get Google Cam just for HDR+ but it's not a big deal and I can live without it.
We have an amazing dev team for the device so there is nothing we are missing for having a 32bit system.

Yes... There have been several threads here since this device first released whining about it being 32-bit, wanting to pressure Lenovo about making a 64-bit version, comparing the difference between the 32/64 bit world's, etc.
Simple answer, it's 32-bit... It's going to stay to that way, live with it.
