[Q] WILL HD2, GET GINGERBREAD V3.0 ? (October release) - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whem HD2 gets NAND port Android, will be easy to make a port to Android v3.0 Called Gingerbread? That Coming in October for the Nexus and One Desire, by rumors on the web.
I think in matter of Hardware it's possible.
What are the biggest difficulties that the Devs shall go find?
Or now that we have almost complete Android Tree, everything will be much simpler....
Now that tasted the flavor of Android OS, i don't want anything else .... so hot ... uhm ... uhm ....

class 6 sd cards are faster than nand and give you more internal storage , may be the android 3.0 needs more than 512 internal to work so sd class 6 is a better choice

where is the proof, what I have seen on the thread of storage card, is the performance due to the class, is still very debatable.
but if this is true, it would be great.
I'm still with the original Storage card class 2, therefore, not whether there is enough class, 4 or 6 or 10.

<sigh>
Let’s not get into an argument about NAND versus SD card. (FYI, let us not forget SD card consumes more power than NAND).
Yes, HD2 will get Gingerbread. Why? Because this is frickin XDA. N1, Desire, and probably even the G1 (for some reason) will get Gingerbread…just because this is XDA and they do the “impossible”.

i think also that desire or nexus one or galaxy s willnot get the 3.0..
But if it goes for example in the new desire hd that will come in the next months mayb we can have it on our hd2 !!!!!!

I cant believe some of you are saying you dont believe the Nexus One wont get it.
It meets all the minium specs for ginger bread, some of gingerbread was demoed on it already at google i/o, and the main reason it will get it is because its the Google Dev phone!! its the phone they are testing it out on as we speak!

+1 - Google itself has stated that the Nexus One will get all future updates - BEFORE any other phones. This is not to say that other phones wont concurrently get the updates, but only that it will be pushed to the N1 first.

If HD2 comunity won't have in Developing house the Master devs that have at moment, I wouldn't believe in this stuffs port, but how they work for us, I'm very optimist they port the gingerbread.
But realistically speaking, if they give us, a froyo 2.2 stock build, like HD2 was a original Android device, for me is enough, and will be forever gratified for the Devs....
If ginger comes better, if not, no problem.
WM dies for me, in the day MS make the statement, that will not give the WM7 upade.....horse for them.....minus one WM7 embassador.......better for Android SO win a new crasy and devote fan.....( I know iPhone SO, Palm Pre, because have one of wichother in the house).

Yes they will. The Nexus is one of the first phones to get it.

The nexus one will get gingerbread for sure, no doubt at all. Meets all requirements and is the official google dev phone. Other phones with similar specs may get it as well (desire, etc). Regardless of who else gets it, I'm sure HD2 will get is, this is friggin XDA. The devs here are known to be able to do just about anything.

Yep, remember people said that froyo couldn't be done on the g1 and look what happened.
Our HD2s meet all the requirements for gingerbread anyway, our hardware is very similar if not nearly identical to some of the other phones which will run gingerbread. I can't imagine it being that hard for the devs.

[Q] ANDROID????

Check the activity of the Android forums compared to this one. That should answer your question. Currently Android requires some parts of WinMo to work, but I use a very small version of WinMo, ChuckyDroid ROM.
Android development is thriving. WinMo 6.x development is dead. In many ways, Android runs better than WinMo on the HD2.
winmo? people still use that junker? this thing shoulda ran android from the start...
Absolutely, go for it. There is no way you can harm/brick your phone because android is only running off the microSD. Download a few different builds and try them out. The worst that can happen is ending back up in windows mobile. I would reccoment trying shubCraft.
Well, I guess it depends on the compatibility issues of the software you use. In my case, right now, I cannot leave WinMo as of yet because of that.

No way for me
I've had the Nexus One for the last 5 months and Android running on the Hd2 is like a car without oil in the engine: VERY ROUGH
For someone who hasn't had a Nexus One yet then yeah the Android port will be fine for you and you wont know the difference but for me I can DEF feel it and it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
Lag + not everything works = I'd rather have WinMo 6.5 for the rest of the Hd2's life unless the can start making the Android versions smoother/work better.

Yes BUT not yet from reading through the amount of postyers having issues with using Android on the HD2 at present is far too much,i would wait until all the problems have been rectified and everything is 100% before i go with Android.

I sold my Nexus One in order to buy an Hd2 for cheap off of craigslist knowing that I might never even run Android on it. I wanted to give Windows Mobile a chance and learn the basics before trying to port Android. Turns out it was the best decision I could have made since I actually prefer Windows Mobile more than Android!
People complaining about a phone they have already purchased need to get a life and better purchasing skills
I don't understand all this hype about Android. From what I have seen it's all over-hyped on the HD2. I went to the Android section expecting to be blown away by the amazing detail, features and screens of Android. Instead i've been underwhelmed and put off of Android. The Interface looks more like a step backwards about 10 years.
Where is the holy grail of Android for HD2 that is going to make us all want to switch to Android from WinMo?
Ok - I get it that for geeks Android might be the way forward as it's all open source and available to tinker with - but for people who just want a phone that works - WinMo 6.5x runs rings around Android. God help us when WinMo 7 arrives on the scene.
I understand that this may start a flaming session - but my mind is open to be converted - point the way.....show me the eye candy...

The hardware is compliant with 3.0.
If Samsung doesn't upgrade to 3.0, it will piss off a lot of people. I know I'd never buy another Samsung.
Seriously, why do you think Gingerbread is "all that". We haven't even seen a working version of it?

by the time 3.0 rolls out this phone will be out of rotation, happens to all phones, might get one update then they are pushing another better phone.

Android 3.5 is Code Name "Honeycomb"
Given that Samsung expects this to be a 2 year phone, one would HOPE they keep it updated but there is no way to know.

I wouldn't go that far. The original Omnia and its successor were one of the nicer WinMo phones before the HD2 came out. Last time I check, the Omnia II is still getting updates even though it's been out for nearly a year. Shame on Samsung for not keeping their promise of getting the Behold II to Eclair, but they're not screwing over all of their phones.
I highly doubt Samsung will ditch the Galaxy S, there's way too much of these phones out there. If they dare to do so, they'll pretty much commit suicide in the mobile phone market.

Seeing as though you have nearly 200 posts, you should know that this should have gone in GENERAL or QnA. Please remember this for next time.
As for Windows Phone on an Android handset,... Never,... as it is not open source. I'm pretty sure that is the only answer you will get.

ya know, i get the fact that winmo has been completely redesigned etc. but .. ionno , if idd have the option to choose betwen android and winmo i would totally stick with android ^_^

the only way it could be done is via virtual machine i *BELEIVE*. Youll need a powerful ass phone though to manage it, any phone in existance couldnt run it properly via vm due to requirements of additional power for virtualisation.
come to think of it, i dont know if any phone processor suports virtualisation...
Until VM Ware for mobiles gets released? I should Google that again, haven't seen any updates in a while.

Yes well android is open source and can be modified. And even then, this was only done on a WinMo device very similar to an android one.
You can look at it by comparing Macs with PCs. Can you install windows on Macs? No! Why? Because Apple won't make hardware property drivers for Windows. The same here with Android and Winmo7. When HTC will release new phone with Winmo7 devs on xda will be able to port it to similar device with similar hardware, so drivers are more or less compatible. So I agree with ddotpatel that Hero won't have running Winmo7.
On another hand technically it is possible by using reverse engineering, but that is the hell of the work so I don't think someone can do that.
... or HTC have full stock of Hero hardware which they can't sell so to reduce costs they decide to design new model with Hero hardware running Winmo7. I personally think Hero could handle Winmo7 without problems.

There was a project (iDroid maybe? not sure if that's the name) to bring Android to iPhones, but I think the last model supported was the 3GS. It used the open source openiBoot bootloader (a replacement for Apple's) and I think that was the limiting factor in not supporting past the 3GS.
EDIT: There is a port of openiBoot to the iPhone 4 on going. More info on the whole project here: http://www.idroidproject.org - the "status" page is probably especially interesting to you.

@SifJar, the project you mentioned is interesting, but very likely dead. I happen to be in the exact same situation now and would like to do the following to an iPhone 4 which I bought and is SIM-locked:
Make a full backup of the phone and all its data on LINUX
Fully remove the SIM-lock and make it work with all providers
Completely wipe everything, especially traceable information
Install the latest possible Android, preferrably a port of AOKP
I will press the THANKS-button for every useful answer!

Not going to happen any time soon. Apple has massive lockdowns on their devices. Even if someone breaks into it that far, it will be well past the devices lifetime. I have tried the iDroid project, and even when their was work, it was very primitive and not worth actually trying to use. Don't expect an iPhone to work well in Linux any time soon (maybe ever) or be able to back up without a jailbreak.
Well that's very hard. Because apple is closed source and they have encrypted whole system. Can anybody imagine why would anybody change a iPhone to android. I mean what's the point of getting iPhone then..well you can sim locked broked. Jailbreak if you want some more functions. Just purchase a new android. You will more than apple 4S in cheap android.

But it runs on hardware that is fairly common to android phones. What steps would need to be taken to get to a point where we could attempt flashing a rom from a phone with similar specs?
It would be a lot easier though to just buy a $150 android phone and be done with it. ICS or jelly bean wouldn't run too well with the 256mb ram, and the 8gb (6gb) fixed storage is pretty limiting no matter what OS you are running.
dude this is some serious development stuff. there is no step by step guide or anything.
impossible, if not, it takes a LOT of development

ROM from Nokia?
Nokia was developing Android for Lumia in secret from Elop. They were to enable installing them in 2014 when the deal with MS was ending. Does anyone have these ROMs?

Enough is Enough!!
After seeing all the weird replies and pleas,I'd actually like to answer it in a more complete manner.....
It doesn't matter the Windows phones have similar hardware like Android devices,it's mainly about the vast difference in the OS's that achieving such a feat is close to impossible........You will have to work from ground up,Starting with
1.Creating the bootloader that supports Android
2.Creating the kernel from scratch
3.Creating drivers for everything like the touch,ril etc and make sure they are compatible with your kernel
4.Finding a flashing method for the Bootloader so that you can actully flash recoveries and ROMS
5.And finally praying to God that it works
The HTC HD2 has gone through with this process,but the thing that made development easier was the popularity of the device.....before gaining it's fame as a "Multi-OS device",it sold like hotcakes(check out it's history and you'll see)....The Lumia 610 on the other hand,doesn't have that much experienced developers to back it up.....The HD2 got even luckier as the HD7 was launched,because it had nearly identical specs.....which is the reason the legendary phone also gained the gift of WP7
If you have just skipped to the end because you got bored halfway...........You don't have enough developers to back you up
