HTC HD2 Dual Boot - Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango)

[johan420]

Any way to do this on the HD7S? I very much dislike the mobile windows os

[Pinnger]

wow.. this boot logo is realy brain wash...

[piotralex5]

i hate wp7 that's why i flashed energy rom and got back to 6.5

[hh1183]

Why can't nexus one run ics?? fuk!

[jukpulfer]

It takes fucking long to boot... is that normal?

[GODLOVEEESYOU]

This phone is a hacker's dream phone it can boot any OS & has a big screen but I'm not buying it coz it has no front camera. :'( Even though this phone is 2 yo it's still good now & demanded a lot on eBay. ;D

[GoseDiGenius]

is there a tutorial on how to do this?

[brijeshchandrakar]

wp7 started much faster than andriod

[hemo1001]

who bought this smartphone .... is really fucking lucky .

[kingofthekillz]

how long did it take for yours to boot up?

[Jabid21]

Community is really hard at work. On the android side of things. Everything works well other than the camera in ICS. Drivers are also being worked on to fix compass, improve multitouch, auto backlight and camera on wp7.5. I thank all the developers who've worked for making HD2 the ultimate smartphone.

[guru0011]

I believe that you're running WP7 from NAND and ICS from SD right?

[Waclaw111]

wooooow!! ICS on HD2 seems to be pretty smooth and responsive, cant wait to put it on my device!

[eragonn14]

@Waclaw111 wait for working camera driver :) And also games on ICS are very laggy and crash often. After ics i installed 2.2.1 and everything work fine :)

[mkbillionaire]

Hey does dual booting have any down sides? And also won't each OS want some internal memory so the 512 Will be split

[Jabid21]

@mkbillionaire Only one OS takes the NAND storage space. In this case WP7, while Android is booted from the MicroSD card.

[InfnityInfinity]

i had this phone, then i sold it

bad mistake

[MrKzLee]

Hey u should try the other wp7.5 rom, the dft one, that one far more stable than yuki one.

[BlacKGraFFiX]

This phone is soooo old! Yet I still love it. Especially whn I see videos like this. ICS ran pretty smooth...very smooth actually! Shows what the hardware is capable of if you know what your doing.

[KamikazeNerdNL]

Any instructions on how to do a dual boot?

[MelvinSF]

This thing just keeps on rocking, doesn't it.

[231karl]

Hey man, thinking of getting HD2, I'm in the UK and I can get a used one for a really good price! Could you just answer a couple of questions?

1. Is it yet possible to download apps onto WP7?

2. What is the community/development like? Is it still very active or is it fading?

Thanks!

[skystealth22]

@231karl i'm not a hd2 user, but hd2 should still have heavy development support, and the first question, yes.

[jmailfl1]

@231karl

1. It is possible to download apps onto WP7 if you can get an activation code. There's more information on that in the xda forums.

2. Here's great article about the history of the HD2 at w w w (dot) xda-developers (dot) com /windows-mobile/two-years-late­r-the-amazing-htc-hd2/

The community is pretty active, the devs are porting the lastest Android and WP7 builds.

[ayouthwellspent]

@231karl If it makes any difference at this stage... Do it! I didn't regret it, though you'll have to bear in mind advances in phone technology are starting to race along and you will definitely at some stage in the next couple of years be looking to upgrade again :L

I bought myself a Samsung Galaxy Note, which I run the test of CM9 with ICS on... and the HD2 on WP7 and the combination of the two works for me! Message me if you have some queries though :) HTH :L

[lawryyXD]

how good is the battery on either OS? can it last a full day? thanks

[bxbbrian]

Which OS looks the best?

[jmailfl1]

@bxbbrian Definitely WP7. It's very different in a refreshing way, plus it's super fluid and clean.

[dtlone2009]

@jmailfl1 can you please try to help me, i don't know why its loading up last time the graphics ran for like 20 minutes before the phone turned off.

[jmailfl1]

@dtlone2009 It hasn't happened to me so I'm not sure. Try taking a look at the Android XDA tread linked in the video description. I would say try installing the latest version (with EGL v.5), or try a different brand/class SD card.

[dtlone2009]

How long before the graphics dissappear? My hd2 resets after 15 minutes

[jmailfl1]

@dtlone2009 Mine's been running for the last ten hours, no reboots.

[coldfustion]

lol i think you hold down on the android cartoon..

[jmailfl1]

@coldfustion Yea, I realized that afterwards...

[hui556677]

it is real smooth!!!!!! so my desire can do this too ....hah
