not another one of these threads. learn to use the search button. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651632
there is NO WAY right now to even port it. like the guys above me said, go buy an android phone.
close thread please.
what you could try is:
copy a HTC desire ROM to your HD2 and see what happens when you boot it..
please let me know the outcome..

I know its agervating to answer this question over and over when someone doesn't know how to search the forums. Tho I know you are being sarcastic, and you show may of signs of being sarcastic, but he/she may not and will end up bricking his phone.
Don't do what he suggested. You will have a $500+ brick.

Didn't know we had so many comedians here on XDA, have any of you thought about trying out for Last Comic Standing?
Did you catch a hint of sarcasm, you sure did!
Should the OP have used search, yes. Should the OP take a look at the XDA homepage from time to time, sure. But really, whats the point in replying if you have nothing to contribute of value. Reply #4, even though it was blunt and could be read in a not so pleasant tone, still offered a valid answer and link without leading the OP down the path to a possible brick. Everything other reply was useless. Go ahead, flame me all you want, I don't give a ____.
To the OP, no, there is not a direct port of Android in any flavor for the HD2, or any other WinMo based phone for that matter. Yet. This doesn't mean it won't be possible, amazing things have happened here on XDA since I joined in 2007. There are options though, keep watching this thread as there are currently 6 known working HTC WinMo devices that can run Android via a WinMo app called haret.

I think there's more than 6 winmo devices that can run android through haret. But otherwise, you're completely right.
I don't think a lot of the people on these forums asking for android on HD2 understand the fact that there has been no perfect android port for any winmo devices, yet. I've noticed there's a lot of new winmo users on these hd2 forums who think that a port should come soon and they will be able to install/flash it and have a perfectly working android phone. I've even heard people say they bought the hd2 anticipating an android port.
It doesn't work like that. It never has. These ports take time. They are very buggy at first, and even when they iron out the bugs, it is still not fully functional. It will probably be years before we have a port that can use bluetooth, wifi, camera, sensors, etc.
If you want to use android full-time as your main phone os, get an android phone. It's great when we can boot into android when you want and use some android apps, but it's going to be a very long time before its functional enough to want to use full-time. If you want to have a hd2 and make full use of its features, your gonna have to use winmo. A bootable android will be a great feature and fun thing to play with, but thats all its going to be good for for a long time.... something to play with. I dont think theres been a fully functional port to a winmo phone, yet.
So to the people waiting for android on your hd2... be patient, and dont expect a fully working version anytime soon.

[q] Glacier WP7?

What would it take to get a working windows phone 7 rom onto this device? I don't know anything about WP7 dev, but have been dying to try it and this phone is more than capable of handling the load, it's just a matter of if it would jive and such.
Any thoughts comments, etc?
If you truly want the w7 feel you should use desktop Visualizer I think... go to the themes section they have a guide on how to theme your android to something VERY similar... as far as actually porting a rom... think that's prolly a little too much coding and work considering if someone wanted it that bad they likely would have just bought it as such...

loosely translated all you're saying is:
If we had a different device we would still have to wait for this...
Again you put up a thread in a forum it has nothing to do with. This is supposed to be about Touch HD Android Development, not an advertisement channel about stuff for different devices that might be available sometime...
and maybe... if your entire post fits in a 'tweet', maybe you should open a twitter account...

I'm sure you and i are not the only ones who know how and where to find tiad8's website.
I come to XDA to see if there is something new, but lately most of the time in the Blackstone forum most new threads are all about OMG tiad8 says he's gonna do something!!!
That's Twitter-stuff, dude

i understand. sometimes i get all http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-LbvFckptY from a certain announcement too, but i might not videotape myself dancing around the living room and post it
i mean, nothing wrong with enthusiasm, but i think it would be best to let the actual builder make the announcements and spread the word when there's something to test/try out for everybody
ok yankees2450 i will not read any post written by you a gain it's the second time you make me soooo nervous

Some interesting news for those interested in making AOSP/CM for Kirin SoC

Hi Everyone,
I have been doing a lot of research and digging the last few weeks on how to make a CM/AOSP build for the honor 7. I have not found much but I did come across something very promising from the Huawei P8lite forum.
They have managed to get a booting AOSP rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/rom-aosp-5-1-1-ale-l21-t3350106
This looks really promising, maybe we could take a look at how they made this and adapt it to our device? In the interim I have found loads of other Git pages for the P8lite if anyone fancied taking a look.
https://github.com/olrak2/android_device_huawei_p8lite_alel21
https://github.com/hak86/android_device_huawei_p8litekirin
https://github.com/olrak2/android_device_huawei_alice/
I know this is a long shot but I think we could really work with some of these sources, either way I thought I would make a thread so we could compile any research regarding custom ROMs for Kirin SoCs here so they're easy to find.
That would be pretty cool. I hope to see a CM rom for our device some day but I don't have knowledge to make it... I hope someone will work on it. I feel sometime like I have a Ferrari in my hand but I use it like a Fiat because of EMUI and bad kernel/rom management in general...

We already have one, but it's still not complete(as it is not spitting out a bootable ROM).
Can you solve errors, I mean do you know coding in Java, C, C++ or something? @memht We will need any help we can have.
