Hi there,
I'm using Android for some time now. And it works far far better than WM. Now was my question. Is there a possibility to single-boot android. So installing android like the shipped rom. No Windows Mobile ?
Best regards
Not yet ! You have to be patient. A team work on an Android nand for HD2.
But it's not finish.

My wife bought GT-I8910 which has installed Symbian OS, is it possible to reinstall Android OS or Microsoft OS on it? On network I couldn't find such experiences. Is there any chance to change OS or I have to give up?
You can't install Android or WinMo on Symbian phone.
thank you for the reply, so be it.
Hi everyone. I am a complete idiot when it comes to phones so I thought I was doing well when I shelled out some cabbage for the HTC HD2 only to find that the WinOs SUX! Thats how I found this site. I am wondering if anyone can provide step by step video / detailed instructions on the best driod os for a tmobile usa htc hd2 with updated rom. My knowledge stops at turning the phone on so all the talk about radio and rom changes etc is foreign. I am stuck with this phone now and need some help. Again, sorry for being an idiot and I thank you for any guidance you can give.
By updated ROM I mean that I have the updated rom supplied by tmobile....2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE...radio 2.10.50.26.....OS version....5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89)
welcome to the forum; everything you need to know is DEF here......now with that said I have to be the first to say that nobody is going to be inclined to help you until you read up and educate yourself first a little bit. people go through the trouble of writing tutorial and making stickies for the soul purpose of informing people (such as yourself) with limited/minimal knowledge. do yourself a favor and take a little bit to familiarize yourself with your phone and read as much as you can and I'm sure that whatever questions you might have about getting started will be found. as far as which android os is better, well that's subjective. your best bet is to flash and try any and all and form your own opinion. good luck and welcome again.

Use either darkstone sence or hdfroyo from darkstone by far best android builds. I got the crazy robot voice during calls with 2.13 tmo us rom. I would use one of the custom roms people on here sugest. Or do what i did and install the previois tmo us 2.10 rom. All can be found on this site. Look around there are plenty of guides and search on youtube there are videos on there also. Just a note android is much better than win mo but the builds are about 95%. They all still have some small issues, bluetooth not working, compass os wacky ect. But very useable as an everyday os. Goes on sdcard so your NOT replaceing win mo. If you restart the phone youll be back in win mo and have to start android again but its a simple prosess and there are android launcher apps on this site that will give u a win mo icon to launch android in one click. Pretty slick. Just do some reading you be ok.
Sent from my HTC HD Droid 2 using XDA App
1. Go to HD2 ROM Forum
2. Install HSPL3 (Hard SPL)
3. Install New Radio (Not required - but please pay attention - reading required!)
4. Install New ROM - I recommend ChuckyROM, VB, or Energy (need WWE)
5. Select Android Build and download
6. Don't expect Miracles
7. ???
8. Profit!!
Also....
You can't just simply "upgrade" the WM rom. You still need it to run the android rom, just like the fellows above said, read up on it and you will get going soon.

I have an DELL XCD28 GSM with Android 2.1, i really wanted to know how to Upgrade to Android 2.2.
Dell does not going to release an Upgrade to 2.2 in future.
So what are the ways i can install Android 2.2 on my Device?
Thanks
I have also purchased dell xcd28. As it was the only android phone in my budget. Please let me know how to install froyo or gingerbread on my device. Dell is not providing any official updates for the device.
Please reply to this post as early as possible.
Hello,
I am aware that DELL is not going to provide any upgrade even for XCD35 they are not going to release anything, thats sad :-(
But XCD25 is actually ZTE Racer 2G model with extra facility of 3G added for DELL model. I searched for some ROM upgrade but only one ROM i found that too was for the chinese model of ZTE without EDGE support only 3G was working.
I finally decided instead of looking around and wasting time. i am gonna create my own ROM for my device. I am a developer and i can create my own custom ROM. So i just started the work and hopefully in a few weeks i may finish the ROM.
I will let you know about the ROM soon
Meanwhile get your device rooted and add some cool features to the 2.1 version. You can find many apps and utilities which you can add using rooted phone.
BUT DO THIS ONLY IF YOU ARE TECHNICALLY GOOD AT OWN TROUBLESHOOTING!
ALSO BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL ROM(with rooted device) BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY CHANGES!
So good luck!
I would like to know how to root my phone and I am also looking for a free tethering tool through which I can connect to internet on my pc. I am a Windows Client Administrator and just know a bit about android development.
Rooting for android device is easy but its a bit technical
follow these steps below:-
1.download z4root from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
2.After rooting your device DONT FORGET TO BACKUP YOUR ROM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY CHANGES!
3. For backup using NANDROID!
I have fully tested the above steps and its working 100%
Good Luck!

Zofus u r d man... keep up d good work... share the created rom for xcd28 with us.... Thanx....

Hello Everyone,
I just saw a video about Android Security from Kasperksy Lab in YouTube
But, After seeing this video about Android Security from Kaspersky Lab I realised how dangerous rooting and loading custom rom maybe, I personally had this question with me as i was developing the ROM as it completely pulls the security out of your device.
Android Malware attacks are in the news now. So its better being safe then sorry
So I have decided not to release the Custom ROM to public and also i am stopping the Development of the ROM.
Also i am not saying that you should not root your device and do other cool stuff with it. Its solely up to you. Finally its your Android Device!
Good Luck!

Hello good members of XDA.
I'm curious to know if there is any app for android that works like Haret for Windows Mobile?
I want to be able to boot Rhobuntu on my Rhodium that is currently running a NAND Android Rom, and I don't wanna have to revert back to Windows Mobile to do so.
Thank you!
Amusingly enough, I've been wondering the same thing myself for sometime. That way I could install and test NAND builds, and use my current SD build.
Found this: http://lifehacker.com/5826050/how-to-dual-boot-multiple-roms-on-your-android-phone
but I'm not sure how well it'll work on our phones (got a Rhodium too)
I am wondering if I should just put it back to stock with the RUU or start from where it is. I was told it is a NAND install of 4.1.2 (CM). I want to be able to dual boot Windows Phone 7 and 6.5. What should I do with it? I got this phone purely to play with it. I have several android devices already so having android on it isn't that appealing.
I would stick WM6.5.5 custom rom on it from NRG along with radio flash to be safe.
Loads of still active links in HD2 wiki for WM roms/radios/flash tools etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD2#ROMs
Once flashed with WM6.5.5 I would test functions for while & be sure no hardware glitches before further playing.
WM6.5.5 is pretty good platform if you got experience with it & know where find software (plenty about if look), I still use it as a daily as so simple yet capable.
WP7 was a bit poor but a good way test/use platform back in day.
