I saw a few months after the hd7 was released someone was able to port android to the hd7. Please tell me they have a rom for it now. I know i know if i want Android i should just get the device but if i can run wp7 and Android well you know.
Moved to Q&A
I heard they were going to move hd2 development slow from the hd2 to the hd7 but you see how that turned out.
Damn that means it won't be around till the next windows update sob

I was wondering (sorry for sounding stupid); if you can put android into a microsoft phone, can you put microsoft into a Dell Mini 5?
I've been trying to find some site to answer this but I think the best place to answer this is here.
Thanks
AFAIK windows mobile isn't open source. So the kernel code is not available.
Android however is open source so you can download its code to port it to other devices.
I appreciate your answer. While patiently waiting for the HD2, this Dell Mini 5 is now being shown, now I'm a Windows man (?) & the Dell being Android which is kinda new, I use Google search. With this in mind am I already familiar with Android???
I hope you understand my dilemma, simply put am I already using Android?
I don't like Bing I use Google search.
Lastly am I waiting for a Windows phone or should I be getting the Android (Dell Mini 5)???
(Lots of questions but again Thanks).
This is driving me crazy!

I hope I understand your question. Android is a very user-friendly OS, so it's not important if you're familiar with it.
If you buy an HD2, there will be android available for it in future and maybe also windows phone 7 series.

I don't understand your question. Do you want to ask if you are already using Android when you use Google search?

Again, I suggest you buy the HD2, it's a great device!

No problem, you're welcome.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Thank you, you did understood my questions.
I've been following the 'Leo" for a very long time but since then new apparatuses have arrived & all this talk with Android, I just wanted to make sure that by the time the HD2 gets here it would still be proper to buy.
You have calmed my nerves & waiting for the HD2 is "still" at the top of my list. Its been awhile but good things come to those who wait.
Again Thank you
I figure here is the best place to say this, Android is lagging in so many ways I'd be a fool to go there. The Dell Mini 5 looks good but the Android really is lacking. I truely hope Windows can get themselves into the cloud as quick as possible. Regretfully the HD2 isn't allowed there (WIN7) & to wonder how long before another phone would be developed with regards to the mighty HD2 makes me accept the HD2 & use it for the lenght of time until the WIN7 becomes usable, concidering this is a new decade with new ideas.
I don't think I will have any regrets doing this.
Thanks.
Hope this makes sense to you.
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.
Hey R U Guys Going To Make Android For HTC Hd7
And If Yes Than Can U Plz Tell Me When R U Going To Release It
ThnxX
And Can Someone Tell Me How To Sim Unlock HTC hD7
I Really Need Help For My HD7 Because Wm7 Sucks And i Dont Like It
I Hope U Guys Will Make Android for htc hd7 Soon
Why R U Writing Like This It Makes It Really Hard To Read
And Does Not Look Cool At All
seriously.
There probably won't be an android ROM for the HD7 soon, because it is basicly the same as the HD2.
If you wanted to have an android device anytime soon i suggest getting the HD2.
The only way to unlock it at the moment would be to either contact your carrier or use a website that sells unlock codes. There is no tool for this yet.
Are you guys going to make the android for htc hd7 in future..?

thats better
I took a look at the hd7 forums on xda and so far it doesn't look like it.
The consens seems so far to buy a HD2 if one would have wanted a HD7 with android.
You could try other forums, i.e. android central? maybe they are trying something.
Why dont you guys try to make android for htc hd7
This is a great site and the developers are extremely talented
Many people want android in their htc hd7
And i am sure that they are ready to pay or donate some money to have android in their htc hd7
You can't force people to make a ROM.
You could start a thread and collect money offers from people and see how much are actually willing to offer money for it. Maybe enough comes up that someone is willing to do it.
This has already been done for other devices.
I'll quite happily swap devices with you if you want android and an HD2
Seems like a fair deal
I've been searching for this answer but unless I'm using the wrong keywords or maybe the info I need is buried on page 30 I can't seem to find.
Does anyone know if any dev has been able to or has ported "windows phone 7" OS of any version over to the Thunderbolt?
I've asked in a few other areas but got flamed for wanting to overwrite Android so I gave up in the Thunderbolt forums.
If it has been done all I'm asking for is the url, of course I have no problem reading the info.
It wont happen.. It is far to difficult to port at Binary based closed source OS to different hardware.. The windows mobile 6.5 HTC HD2 was an exception as it has the same cpu and gpu etc as most the WP7 devices so was more of a hack than a port..
shame but thats how it is
Thanks for the answer. Was searching Google and getting crazy stuff. Not really wanting to switch to Nokia or T-Mobile. For me having 7 or Mango version would make my business sync issues so much easier. Again Thanks Much.
Hello all,
I am Kushal, and I own an HTC HD2. I want to switch over to Android but don't know how to go forward with it. Its been very long and I still not able to figure out in which way I should head and change my Phone's O.S.
Hope to get some answers soon and hope my queries get resolved ...
Thanks People ...
I may be mistaken but isn't the HTC HD2 an Android phone? No need to switch over to Android...
Not really. The Australian HTC HD2 came with Windows Mobile 6.5 Pro and not Android....
