is also available on HD2?
thanks

i think you can install the dual.root but there is no version of android itself to run on htc hd 2, as i assume.

if they mange to port it yes, ideally it would have a dual boot where you can chose what you want too boot when you turn on the phone.. that would be really nice

what about this? i found this on a website wich i cannot post here because i'm new.

Yes, what he said. You can READ about the progress they have made, but please no posts like:
'Can't you just use the Android from Nexus One?'... The Developers are smart people. So to be honest, there is probably NOTHING you can teach them. Just let them to their job. It is harder then you guys think, so this could take a while.
Enjoy your HD2 as it is. The main reason I want Android is for the appstore. But probably tomorrow the Marketplace will get an update, that allows you to switch regions, install on SD card, and makes it easier for Developers to make apps. Let's hope the Marketplace start getting better within the next months!

there is no android version for htc hd2 i have tried other versions installing on my device but it did not work..... i think people are working on it hopefully sooner or later we will get it.....

Maybe never !!!

thank you guys and sorry.

Just for fun: Video - My HD2 loading and running Android 2.1...

I took this for a friend and thought I'd share...
My 4 day old HTC HD2 loading and running Android 2.1 (rough). I think the song choice (and timing) is awesome. lol
Sorry for a little shake in the vid, I didn't have a tripod handy and had to hand hold the P&S camera...

lol I love how people keep saying not to expect a stable android rom ported over to the hd2 for a year... The way the devs are working and making progress it seems like in months we will have a stable rom.
Yes we could look over the history and see that it has taken years to port android to winmo devices and yes they still aren't 100% stable but then again none of those older winmo devices were the hd2 nor did they have all the internals this bad boy has. There is a reason why they are advancing so fast.
It's called will and power (power meaning the phone )

i cant wait until there is a fully stable version of android on winmo lol

have you checked how much RAM is available after android system is running ?
Is that the original Android 2.1 or is modified ?

when is this coming out?

Go to the link I post earlier in this thread. Download the zip file and extract it to the root of your SDcard. Go into file explorer and run HARET. Press run and let it do its thing, enjoy android. Now its not a fully working port yet for day to day use.

Android runs on top of windows so you have no access to any of your windows programs while running android.

Finaly Windows Phone 7 ported on HTC HD2 [ Video ]!!!

We always knew this day would come, some guys at xda.cn has managed to get WP7 up and running on a HTC HD2. The HD2 which was the only capacitive screen Windows Mobile device was expected to get an unofficial port of WP7. This does not look like the release build of Windows Phone 7 ( Xbox Live tile has a green background in the release build of WP7 ) . In the video you can see that the OS runs quite smoothly on the HD2, and they shows the various hubs like picture and games. The hardware keys have been mapped to mimic the Home and Back buttons, Search was not shown in the video, doesn’t necessarily mean its not there. They also demo the multi-touch pinch to zoom in the picture hub.
It looks nice and all and is a nice hacking feat but do you honestly want to run WP7 on the HD2 or get one of the new WP7 device ?
look the video at pocketnow:

This is indeed a great day to be an HD2 owner.
For the obvious question: when can I get my hands on it?
(Answer does probably have something to do with patience )

I saw that just a bit ago on twitter. Looks very promising. I wouldn't mind being able to boot wp7 just for the netflix streaming!

so excited about it ....

Its because Windows phone 7 needs a licence. You cannot access a few bits (one of them is marketplace ) without activating the OS

I think that may be correct. The ROM's must be big on those devices as they are meant to have more than 512 NAND storage. Hopefully they implement what HTC did in some and use the microSD as extra storage on them

i don't know, but energy's new extreme ROM has the same problem. Might have to do with the size of the port. My ROM is 400mb and that confuses the phone and it said on boot I only was using 56mb of storage.

Are more XDA developers going to produce WP7 ROMs?

Would really like to try out WP7 but I heard there are some touchscreen issues with the current and only ROM available. Based on how DFT released the the first Android NAND build and opened the gates for developers to update with new fixes that are currently I can only hope more developers start doing the same with WP7. Also with the workaround to have access to the marketplace does this mean we can also receive updates from Microsoft since they recognize it as a HD7?

I hope so.

I don't think we'll be getting any updates because of our hard buttons and every other wp7's capacitive buttons.. But I could be wrong and hope im wrong

It seems to me like current ROM is pretty much perfect, or as perfect as it's going to get, given that the OS is closed and never existed for this device in the first place (unlike Android/WinMo6).
I've not had a single issue since I installed - everything works identically to a 'real' WP7 device.

Guys lets use the best motivation for developers
I make the beginning:
For an fully fonctional Costum and STABLE WP7 Rom for our HD2s WITH WORKING MARKETPLACE
where you dont get the error message "cant get this info right now try again in a while" when trying installing an app
I will donate 35 $

I will donate 25$, with a better Kamera

u have to change the registrz etc....see the first posts in this forum...
than this message wont appear..

yes it is . I had a hd7 and this build is just the same in every way IMO .

Like mentioned, the camera lacking the autofocus is the only major problem in the DFT build. Because Microsoft only has one version available for every manufacturer and they cant make any changes to the system for now, theres not much to develop.
I never thought I'd like WP7 this much, it's clean and simple. With the integration of Zune it's a great mediaplayer.
The only thing you have to do is activate to make the OS usefull, without activating it's just an empty skin.
Oh, a decent door to door navigation app is what's still missing.

actually the preview of the camera is crap but the actual photos it takes are perfectly in focus and look fine to me

When you go to setting/about it should show your phone as HD7, not Leo70... if it says Leo70, then you didn't change the registry right.

I know it would maybe take 10 min or something but you would really help me with that.
I searched entire days but couldn't figure out what to do and which registry type i should create in the HTC folder i made in the registry.
The marketplace is the last thing remained more making my wp7 perfect.
Thanks really a lot

For me I had a bad version of XMOD (45kb instead of 131kb) found the other and reinstalled and ok . (342kb before install) .

[Q] Urgent --- Stable + Fast Android , is that possible ?

Hi guys,
I have to install Android on a customer's blackstone..
I want to install him a Stable (everything working : Wifi, Camera, GPS, GSM network, speaker, ..), and almost fast ROM under Android 2.2 or 2.3
Tried every available ROM. Some are not working for me, some are unstable (Froyo X Camera : I can't get the camera working / FRX06 : I can't get wifi working : many errors / Blazn won't boot / .. ).
I saw there are many modules and zImage available, and other files..
Could someone send me, please, a full packaging of a completely working ROM ?
Or just explain me/ Tell me how to install a working order rom ?
Thank you VERY much !

Read other threads / search forums

I searched for 3 days.. Just nothing stable
I found that some people were using Froyo X Camera with camera app working, but I'm unable to do it, even following the tutorial.. They don't explain more..

Wait for Nand or buy a 2G-no class µSD card as many issues are caused by µSD cards.
Any way, any stable Android you could find 'd not last more than 12h so I'wd'nt propose that to a customer...

Hi dear compatriot
I have to bring his phone back tomorrow, then I have to do a rapid choice..
I succeed with FroyoXRed, seems faster & more stable with some files I found randomly on the web (rootfs, ..) , now with Camera..
But if somebody has a "fast/stable" complete android ROM, please upload it

As I have now an Android device, any XDAndroid related files have been trashed and I'm waiting patiently for NAND.
Can't help you no more than givin you Tiad8 and Rootfs

Just my opinion after much persuasion HTC Android for the adoption of its system
Neither the assembly does not work well, it's only for playing and testing. The problem is battery malfunction components (cam, bt, usb,...), restarts, etc.
Perhaps NAND see how it will be a solution orig Android.
Good luck and patience during installation, I have not yet surrendered.
sorry my english

The problem is: there is yet no android ROM. It will come soon, check tiad8's site as jeanfrederic said. He is working on it.

i have used GBX0A for two weeks,or so...and i had no problems with it,everything worked fine,even 2D and 3D...and i had not even one SOD (sleep of death)
you can find it @ xdandroid.com in their repository

Sorry... I don't understand this... you HAVE to?
Simply explain that Blackstone is NOT Android specced phone, and that maybe even TIANDROID (Tiad8's NAND Android) will not bring it to full stability/speed/usability.

Tell the customer his a .... (you can decide) the Touch HD / Blackstone is a Windows Mobile Device ! Android wont run, Well to a point, but it not stable enough to be used as a day to day system, As many features dont work, Like
Camera, GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth,
If your " Customer " wants Android tell him to either get the HD2 / Leo or a dedicated Android Phone,
The List
- HTC
- Samsung
- Motorola
- ZTL / ZTE ?
- Orange
Is Endluss......

Why are you sending people AWAY from xda-devs? XDAndroid is hands down the best Android build(s). tiad8 got banned from xda-devs for a good reason! Don't direct people to his site, shame on you!
Edit - just read the OP in detail, what do you mean a 'customers phone'? I wouldn't install this on someone else's phone unless they are well aware that this is not stable or ready for primetime yet.
