very similar on specs but can anyone that has actually owned or used both give a proper comparison? got a dhd atm but is it worth swapping for multiple os the hd2 can run.

Depends on what ur looking for... if u want to be able to use WM7 and android this is the only device that can run both atm.
The HD is a very good device and runs both OS's very smooth.
If i were u i would stick to your Desire HD as the specs are better and the device will be more supported in the future as the HD2 is getting older now and wont receive any (official) updates anymore.
WM7 cannot even do multitasking untill end of this year... and by then google will release android ice cream sandwich anyway.
I personally would stick to android, WM7 is just not worth it (yet).
ok. thanks very much for your reply.
i was locking more at running ubuntu. the devs on the dhd have done a brilliant job. but its not functional enough for proper use.
have you run ubuntu on your hd2? if so how does it perform for useability? ie. smS, calls and 3g data
thanks

Sorry, i did not use the Ubuntu build on my hd2 but im interested in experimenting with it too.
I think i just will get a 2nd HD2 as they r very cheap on the 2nd hand market just to fiddle around with ubuntu, meego etc...
Other people can correct me if im wrong but i dont think it would be interesting for daily use (yet) (from the smartphone point of view)

i think this is unfair since the desire is latest than hd2 but i think if they were made at same period it would be a split since desire is android and hd2 is windows anyways they have the same screen and speed

Doesnt matter how its called, everyone knows what im talking about + i did mean updates from rom cookers OR official updates, thats why i pu it between ().
Besides if HTC doesnt release official updates the community wont have updated kernels to work with.
The point of my post was : why sell the HD if you can have both

Hi all,
i would like to ask about have any Android Rom for HD2 ???
If using winmo to boot android i feel abit lag and not like real android.
Android ROM for HD2 is it possible for now or future??
please advice......
No, it's not possible yet. They still use WinMo to initialize some components.. more development is needed before it's possible.... but it is still real android. Windows Mobile is shut down completely and the linux kernel is booted to allow android to load.
android works at that status u said but its run abit slow. any ideas for that ??
It isn't slow for me. That's even on my 16 gig class 2. Try a faster sd card. Btw what build did you use

This is just a dream come true....
Android should have been native to the HD2 from the beginning! Depriving europe of a EVO 4G-like phone was a big mistake made by HTC and European providers.
Good thing that XDA has the best Dev's around!

Personally i prefer dual boot system.I like also wm and android and if htc wanted would give us officially this thing.China e-shops sell devices like diamond 2 clone with htc logo on it that runs wm and android with hardware a lot times lower than the hardware of hd2..I cant believe that htc has not the technology to give us a full working dual boot rom for hd2 ,but they are not going to do it....

It has nothing to do with technology or knowhow, it's all got to do with money and willing to see an opportunity and taking it!
HTC and the European providers missed out on this one.
Great news for me at least as it seems that WP7 on the HD2 is alive and well. Here is a video showing it booting up fairly similar to how we boot up android. It has not been released yet but from the new on this website it is not far off. I assure you it is all very legit and will be here soon. I used google chrome to visit these sites as it auto translates so let the actual countdown begin. this is exciting for me at least as I think HD2 was and still is the best mobile HTC ever made. this thing runs Android, WM6.5 and WP7!

Yead and they it will be available by end of the next week... in our dreams of course...
SO when ?!
So when finally we can use one of these WP7 ?!?
it is taking much more than I expected !
yeah it seems to be working, but seems also quite slow/sluggish compared to, say, the hd7. maybe it's due to the boot from sd
howcome in the video the IE tile has nice graphics while on all other phones i've seen its flat like all other tiles...?
well i am just happy it still alive and well. it does seem a bit sluggish but it is out there and will be available soon. it boots off microsd like android so there will be flaws. like android however it will work well. seeing that the htc hd7 had a microsd as its internal memory( pictures on the web to confirm) we should be very optimistic to have this running near perfect on HD2

old build
this looks like an old build that's running on the HD2. that's why the IE icon looks different and also that's why it's slower. the newer builds have performance improvements. let's hope they get the final build running on it too.
also, did you notice the other phone in the video (Mozart) had AT&T branding on the hardware, but Telus branding on the software

I wait so long of a new version from ubuntu ore a useable version from meego
Having Stable OSes like Android and Windows, its less likely that Ubuntu and MeeGo will make up for the daily-use ROMs. The number of developers who spend time on Android are much much more compared to the MeeGo and Ubuntu, and moreover the latter are just a port, all the features may or may not end up working.

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.

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!

Hi guys,
May most of u read about the HTC W8 from evleaks. I dont know if its true but lets say there will be a W8 with the same Hardware specs as the M8 would it then maybe be possible to port WP8 to the M8 and from that base to the M7?
Just an idea...what u think about?
Cheers Naily

I have to say, when I saw that device too I was thinking if it was able to be ported to the M8.
That would be very cool

a very experienced dev on hd2, sir Cotulla from DFT, was working on a custom bootloader for m7 (magldr) which makes multiple os boot possible, in particular he was trying to port win 8 RT (he wasn't much interested on WP)
this could be a good news for him

overall talking about the windows phone and not about lumias.
wp8 devices(samsung and huawei) have been jailbroken which is called interlop unlock.
also lumia 520 has been interlop unlocked using j-tag. so it is highly possible that other lumias may follow soon.
