Hi All,
I have just bought a HTC HD2 with Windows Mobile 6.5. I am really pleased with it and just making a few adjustments. I have read numerous articles about installing Android but I am confused as to what flavour of Android my needs and I would really appreciate any guide into exactly ehat to do. As I don't fance hacking blindly at the phone.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Dave.
i'm fairly certain it can't run android (yet).
I am a little confused over what you mean hacking away at the phone? the HD2 cannot run android yet unless you plan to help in the dev of the android on that platform
Thanks for the replies. Once again I am getting ahead of myself. I'll wait and see.

Anything to replace tcmp as well as media player and ie trying to find something that works great. Tried the new opera and it kept freezing the ppc so if anyone can help that would be great.

Welcome to the forum
Not sure if this model is made by HTC as we dedicate this forum to HTC devices.
Perhaps other member can point you into the rigth direction
Good luck,
Its actually made by hp and to tell you the truth i have no idea what htc really is. Im sorry though but alot of the programs for most of the htc stuff has worked on it previously as well as currently and ive not really had any problems with it. I just want to make it more finger friendly as ive said before anyways. Im glad you guys will still accept me here no problems. I would be greatly appreciative of help with this matter no matter what though.

This is HTC and in general what XDA-DEVS is about:
Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.
Since we develop software for it, we need information, and nobody seemed eager or ready to give us what we needed. So we 'reverse-engineered' the devices, found a lot of information, and shared it with the world. But as our site grew we realised that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from a lack of support. They started using the xda-developers forum to communicate and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developer forum.
We hope that you will enjoy this site and find it as useful as we do. We encourage you to donate or otherwise support this site. Of course absolutely all proceeds from donations will benefit this community.
You are more than welcome!
Just wanted to let you know that we are HTC devices only
Good luck,
tis there noone that can help me at least with the .net com framework stuff.
Can some one post on how to change the .net compact framework it does run windows mobile 5 the only difference between this and a phone is the phone part everything else is the same so if someone can please help me with this I would greatly be appreciative.
I have an HTC touch one of the originals. 128MB ram. This phone is from alltel before they were bought. Anyways I have a few questions. First is, is there an android software to replace the windows mobile software? If not, is there something I can or some sort of OS to replace the windows mobile? Third, is there anyway that I can download windows mobile software if the new software is not to my liking? I know I am asking alot, but i am new to "cracking" a phone if you will and I am trying to learn. I am trying to rid my life of windows as much as possible. Any help is much appreciated. I thank anyone that can and is willing to help.
Welcome aboard,
I don´t think it´s possible to install Android, but you can upgrade your WM version to the newest 6.5 or 6.5.1 and install many apps.
Instructions here:

Also you can visit marketplace section and perhaps do a trade for an Android device.
Good luck,
Hi Guys,
This is my first post.... I am firstly thankful to xda team for all their efforts and also to everyone who are working to fine tune WM6 and Android. When will MS learn all this? Damn Windows....(Hope MS is listening)......
Anyway i/everyone am/are totally fed up with WM6... Hope the XDA team is launching Android or WM7 for HTC HD2 (aka LEO) soon... Any NEWS/updates guys????
In short; yes someone (as in a lot of people) is working on both. Welcome to the forums, and check the threads and search function. You will find that threads concerning your questions are quite high in their respective sub-forums. Try and read up before posting, it'll make the stay here quite pleasant. Some people here are tired of answering the same questions over and over, and it'll keep the forums tidy.
very possible but i believe the developers said around end of this year for the android/wp7 on HD2.cant wait......
Well,WP7 is just around the corner.
As for Android,I tried it before but wasn't satisfied because it is maybe interesting at first but later it becomes really boring(Anyway for me).
The HD2's hardware can easily handle WP7 and Microsoft needs to change its mind:just because the HD2 doesn't have a bing key(I think that the problem is about this hardware key.Correct me if I am wrong) this doesn't mean that it is not capable.
@ForceField
Its not just the searchbutton. There are several hardware issues against the "new" mobile concept of MS. Especially the missing sd-card support or better MS don't wan't you to have changeable memory on your device, that might interfere with their "MS marketplace only" app source. That means there has to be much more internal storage in the device itself - like on the iPhone or Palm Pre.
It's definitly easier to become Android on the HD2 since HTC is releasing the nearly similar (hardwarewise) HTC Evo on Sprint - I guess this a nobrainer for the xda-chefs to cook the needed things for that.
microsoft must give an upgrade for htc hd2 because the wm 6.5 is getting boring....some of us loved it but would be great to give a chance to port a wp7 to hd2.. the android operating system is very good too...they made such as good phone as htc hd2 but they gave it away...the next htcs phones doesnt have even sense anymore if i am not doing wrong...after hd2 with sense they throwed away the sense and android came up more famous like HTC Evo or desire..!!!its too bad for such a hi-tech phone to stay forgotten!this phone needs some love so microsoft must give love ;-p and a special gift finally... !!!but at all thanks to god that we have xda-chefs to give us some real dope stuffs to hd2 in nearby ''future''....
ps sorry for my english... ;-p

It is definitely NOT a nobrainer putting Android on the HD2... the EVO may help a little.... but it is not the same hardware as the HD2. The nexus1 is closer hardware-wise to the HD2. They are using the nexus kernel as a starting point for the kernel they've been already working on for months. But they still have alot of work ahead of them. It is not the same as cooking a new rom. They have to port a working linux kernel.
Help......
God.... i am suffering with ORD... please help.
is this possible?
I just sold my iphone 4 to try out the android system.
I am using the hd2 and want to have it rooted. preferably on 2.3.4
I have 2 macbooks and no pc's..
I've been reading around a LOT on google and have read around on this site but can't seem to find anything about mac...
Can i even do this with a mac?
I currently have a 2 gb sd card (i am going to get a larger one) that came with the phone i bought off craigslist.
I really need help as windows mobile is awful..
If I can be helped I can help out people in the future with their phones..
I know all about jailbreak, custom ios, unlocking, etc, even ios 5 beta and all but android is a TOTALLY different WORLD.
I need help please, the terminology and names of things are confusing me too...
I don't know what ROM is..
any help is appreciated!
-sorry if I missed a sticky somewhere or if this thread needs to be redirected.
Does anyone have an idea? one day in and windows mobile has gotten real old. like real old.
The best place to find the info you seek would be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=531
I will be the first to tell you I am not tech savvy at all! I have been doing some research with regards to this and have used many resources avail, including this site.
I have read most of the answers to my questions but still require assistance. I have the HTC Desire with with my local internet provider Cox Communications and I have a 10.2 inch tab through wowpad that is powered by Android supertab. It is operating on 2.1. My HTC is 2.2. I am very new to the smart phone world and tablet world.
Is there a way to just simply upgrade my tab to a new OS? Do most of you feel that rooting my phone is the way to go, because I never ever have storage that I need. I know it comes down to a personal choice. Or, will my phone eventually upgrade to a new OS?
I really want to do my tablet but honestly I literally need step by step directions in doing so. If I mess this up on my own, my wife and daughter will kill me. Thanks in advance to all of you. This is truly the best site in the world!
How would rooting your phone solve your storage issue?
More Storage
From what I understand, I will have superuser rights and that would allow me to delete some of the stock programs to free up space. Is that right?
Help
Is there anyone out there willing to help with this issue? It would be greatly appreciated.
This Sucks
Ummmm Wow! I thought I would get some help with this, but I guess not. I guess I'll try another site.
Take it easy, look up your device in the forums and look for how to root.
It's not that hard to do and most devices have a manual how to.

Thank you
Thank you krt. That is exactly what I needed. Thanks again.
