Does anybody think it will be possible for the OS on the Google phone to run on our PPC-6800's? please excuse my noobness if this has already been discussed but I was just curious.

Just follow the directions and everything should be groovy. Enjoy! :-D

I would like to add that it's really a "beta" and shouldn't be used as your "main" OS; as it's nowhere close to 'ready' (at least in my opinion) for this device.
I mean; go ahead and check it out, but don't expect it to be your phone's primary OS.
It was way cool to check it out and play with it but still very unstable but its getting there.
Cant get it to boot
Well I downloaded the files to boot it and i click on the harot boot exe hit run and then it hangs. Where are the actual directions on how to run it? Is there any?

You might want to put the files on a different SD card as I think it needs to be on a Fat32 partition.
It is a 512mb formatted to fat32 and it still doesnt work. I downloaded the android zip and not the sdk though if that might be the problem.
I actually figured out my problem. i kept all of the files in the folder and didnt extract to the root. my fault.
Do I have to install that heret bootloader first or should the olipro one I have work?
boot loader
No olipro is not even part of this. All you have to do is put all of the files in the root of your SD card and run it like an app and linux will boot. Keep in mind that there are so many bugs in it that you will never want it as ur primary os
development
Is anyone currently working on / developing a workable Android OS that we can flash, as opposed to using the Haret.exe file to essentially shell over Windows Mobile?
I installed this in the last couple of days, and have been able to make calls, access Google Maps, the browser, etc....but have no access to the keyboard, an on screen keyboard, etc.
I'd be willing to help test out anyones work if so. Thanks!
none of the buttons on the mogul works. a few of the keys work on the keyboard.
Update.
Join the HTC-linux chat channel.... If you want to help out. So far not many people on there own a Titan, so i've been trying to do my best to help out... The guys on there are extremely helpful... They will walk you through everything, and if you give them the information that they need, they will be able to develop more things for our titan... We are working on getting the keyboard working as of right now.... if you go in there... talk to dcordes, ginge, or ali1234... they will help you out... Like i said if we get more people in there we will be able to use Android to it's full capabilities... DZO has it working almost perfect on the Vogue.... The touch screen is still kinda wild in my opinion.... So we need to find a way to improve that as well...

When I get done with this Hurricane B.S. here in Texas i'll get with this guy and see if I can port any of it over.
Also something I'm interested in. Windows Mobile is tiring me, and I honestly would feel more comfortable running my phone on a *nix. Plus, it seems like Android is gaining momentum where WM seems to be losing it.

We just need ppl to get the keyboard and buttons on the Titan to work on Android. It will be done in good time, it's just there's no timeframe.
I've noticed that the touchscreen is quite flaky, too. Frankly, I think that's higher-priority than some of the hardware buttons.

...in that a single device has been launched from naught?
WM device sales have not decreased... Revice your statements and be honest. Android is immature. Particularly in that it lacks choices in software and suffe from odd OPEN development hesistency from Google. Android is a nice toy but it is not yet ready for widespread adoption. So, again, let's be honest and drop the rah-rah Android versus WM hyperbole.
It will great to have another OS to run on our HTC phones -- particularly the Titan -- but Android is unlikely to be on par to what WM provides within the useful lifespan of our current devices. As such, Android on the Titan is a great developmental toy.
Problems with tha applications !!
Hey !! i have run the haret.exe on my mogul but i have some problems, one of them is the calibration, it looks like the calibration of the screen is not the correct but anyways, that is not the main problem, the main problem is that i dont know how to close and application , i have tried with all the buttons and the application doesnt close, so i have to reset the mogul to start again.
The version on this link http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/ is the correct one to the PPC6800?? or what is the correct version for the mogul??
Thanks in advance for your help !!

The buttons are complicated...to tell you the truth i hold down a bunch of random buttons on the keyboard...hahaha... but hold on... i'll try to map them right now...
Q = unlock
Q = menu (WHILE INSIDE PROGRAMS)
Shift = QUIT
Windows button = QUIT (one might be minimize, idk for sure)
hope that helps...make sure your getting the newest Android release... DZO has 1.0 on his website...http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/
ok so we all know that the htc leo has alot of cool features you can use on it and alot of its qaulity is unique. but unfortunatly it has lots of problems too. i so far has gotten 4 brand new htc hd2's and they all have bugs and problems within them like restarting by itself many times and freezes. tell me what u think?
I love the phone. But I also have very few freezes and have never had the phone reset itself.
I've never had a defective phone. I think a lot of it is things we do to them.

Same here. The only time I get lockups or slow-downs are after I install certain apps.
Same here..............
Had mine since November and the only problems have been ones that Ive caused through too much tweaking.....
And a problem with T Mobiles original stock rom but that was T Mobiles fault not the HD2.......

The HD2 is a wonderful machine that gives you best performance and wonderful features.
Especially when u compares it to competitive products or the price paid.
I have HD2 , T-8585, since January and never had any freeze or self restart.
All problems I had never cased from the HD2 itself. They cased from installing soft wares which sometimes do not work properly with other soft wares. That was easily recovered with the assistance of nice guys here.
Some problems occurred from defective accessories such as croppy cheap usb-micro cable.
The HD2 is wonderful machine that can be easily converted and modified according to your needs and imagination.
Thanks for the great answers ! I think its just the T-Mobile Rom thats a complete piece of crap. Because I didnt even add anything or tweaked the first 2 phones i got and they still caused many problems within the first day no B/S. Another quick question dough, how much would it cost to buy and repair an htc hd2 LCD screen, because one of my phones screen cracked. Its not the glass outer part that broke but the inner screen.
I am agree with you all, it's a great phone fast-big screen-cool design, but....
It's worth to pay 450 euro for this phone now (AUG)?? I mean I can wait for the next generation (mabe hd3/NOV or DECEMBER) thaat will have more features like an S-AMOLED and mabe a hdmi cable, and all of that with +50 euro.
Do you know anything about new HTC phones that will be released and when, and it is worth to wait more??? Thank you!
I believe the hd2 is one of the best devices on the market. It's fast, it has wonderful features, and now it is capable of running more then one os. Even the stock winmo isn't bad if yu change the rom and don't care about downloading apps. I believe for tmo usa, the hd2 is hands down the best phone they have, other then the n1. And yes better then the samsung vibrant, which is supposed to b upgrade but doesn't even have a camera flash.my experience with samsung phones has been horrible. I don't even think froyo has been released for it. Even tho it's ported, I've been running froyo on my hd2 since late july. As for up coming phones, google htc vision aka g1 blaze. 1GHz processor, medium sized screen, slide out keyboard and android. Basically the first legit replacement for the original g1. Much better then that mediocre mytouch slide 3g. The choice is yours.personally I love my hd2, but yu might just want to wait alittle while longer.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Btw the htc vision should b coming out before the years end. Also there is a rumored hd3 coming soon that is supposed to run wimo7. Decision, decisions lol best thing about the hd2, runs winmo 6.xx, runs linux, runs android, and most likely will run winmo7(I'm sure someone will figure out how to port it) what other phone can do that! Lol decisions decisions
*that was Sent from my HTC hd2 using XDA app*
i think its a Great phone, i love everything about it slim design customisation element big screen but unfortunately it does have its flaws eg battery life occasional freezing to name a few plus no further windows upgrade officially it looks like a dying breed imo but without the chefs on here this handset will be resurrected with android port coming through and presumably windows 7 the futures look good
I do love the phone alot and i do think its the best phone on the market but im just highly upset with its problems. My bad luck i guess hehe . I have another question dough.
What does the red or yellow dots on the back of the phone next to the battery on the lower left mean? I got a 3 phones with red dots but 1 with a yellos dot.

all that is a reset button. First it was red, then on the newer batch, it was changed to yellow.
For me, its the best windows phone I have ever used. Although if I was thinking of buying a new phone at this stage of the year, I think I would wait till around Oct-Nov or at least i'll wai for the first release of W7 and see if it is worth the wait. But the HD2's built I think is almost perfect(virtual keys at the bottom would have made it perfect for me).
Well dasz really true ! Thanksz for all da help guysz .. Ima jusz try to find the best rom out there . I wuld like sum help on dat too if u dont mind hehe This site is very supportive and useful !! Big thumbs up
Coming from a google phone for the past 2 years and then going back to Windows I was amazed how easy it was to deal with the phone.
The issues are the same as the others freezing, lag, etc. I think its the stock ROM itself, but I wonder? Sometimes it acts like my old dash and when you have to close the tasks and use a program to clear up ram space, it annoys me.
I don't like the windows market place, in google certain programs are free, but in windows you have to pay to use features? F-that.
I awating till they perfect a andriod rom to be put in the HD2 with no issues.
The good points of the phone is that it syncs to my outlook with ease..

So does this mean that no matter what rom i put into the phone, it will always be lagging and freezing as it normally would?

I wouldnt say that since most of the roms here seem to make it run better, but Windows mobile is crap compared to Linux.
The HD2 has the same features as my Andriod phone Google maps, You Tube, Google Browser, yet run like crap on the windows mobile phone. GPS take forever to lock on and the maps just has a differnet feel to it..Youtube runs differnet and the browser is crap
Does this phone really have a 1 ghz processor? It feels like my a phone is on 450ghz at times, again maybe window mobile requires too much?
I'm going to flash a rom on the phone since I am tired of the battery drain which is annoying
I have a Nexus One that I am in the process of selling since I like the Hd2 alot more.
The Hd2 does everything I could ever ask of a smartphone and more:
- Free turn by turn GPS directions
- Emulator gaming
- Word/Excel documents
- Bluetooth keyboard support (Android cant do this at all)
- Voice recorder
- Gorgeous 4.3' monster screen
- Tethering
I haven't had any problems with my Hd2 whatsoever. If anything Android gave me more problems than Windows Mobile. The only reason you hear about Android more is it's newer and the media want's to push it as hard as they do with Apple stuff for ratings...
I'm bored with my HD2. Because its working perfectly. I guess I need a new phone with lots of problems
I love the phone. It's design is great, the screen is amazing and the hardware is beefy. What really makes the phone though is the community and chefs here at XDA. I lose count of the amount of times I have reflashed my phone. With different ROMS, experimenting and messing around. It's a great device if you like doing that. It makes you pity the iSheep followers, really..
However, my main 2 drawbacks are this: 1) The battery life is poor.. although that is understandable with the screen and hardware it's got to supply. 2) the fact that HTC have confirmed that they will not be supporting/supplying WinMo 7 for the device. However, I hold out hope that will not be a problem for the clever guys here at XDA .
a POS $500 paperweight that no matter what ROM you put on it Windows 6.5 will F up.
After many phone exchanges and owning Android and Windows phones, Windows 6.5 is the windows 95 OS of phones, period. The HD2 seems like a great phone, but that Windows 6.5 renders it useless.
The promising ROM of Core Droid on the HD2 can’t take away the lag, freezes and unresponsive that Windows 6.5 is. It’s just a POS OS for phones, have you tried Windows Mobile 7? So much smoother, if it wasn’t for this OS, I would completely hate windows mobile.
I had hopes for running Android on the HD2 and again the promising ROM of EVO Droid made it possible, but only for a couple of days. Running off the SD card is not ideal for heavy use and the way I use to my phones, I test them to the limits. I hate having to reboot the system, every time the phone lags. So for now, you may be able to run Android, but it has its limits.
So that leaves me with a paperweight. The fact that I have to take the battery out to reboot the damn phone was my last straw. My HD2 is smashed : ) and now I am going to go get a loaner phone and see what other phone is available for me. I hope to never own another POS phone like the HD2. I once said that with the DASH, fooled twice.
This is just my OP, and if you disagree, well that your OP also. I’ve had it with the HD2; it doesn’t live up to its “hype”

Ahhh... I can see your problem... You're an idiot. There's a little yellow button back there too that precludes battery removal. It's called a "reset button" in the trade...
One can only assume that if you can't get something as simple as that right then all your other woes are of your own doing... I own an HD2 and manage a dozen of them - they all work very well with no complaints from my users.

I don't believe this community should be in the habit of mocking its members. FenderGuy was merely stating his opinion, albeit, in a Q&A forum, but none-the-less, the response wasn't appropriate. I too own an HD2 and find myself sympathizing with FenderGuy.
When I had the 2.10.531.1 Stock T-mobile rom, it took about 10 - 15 seconds for for the music tab to load my music. There were a thousand 'fixes' and none of them worked. I finally had to get a different program, disappointed in HTC. The music tab wasn't the only problem. My phone would reboot randomly. I have tried custom roms, but I don't recall that they improved my WM 6.5 experience (no offense to anyone making the roms, I likely did not put in enough effort to make them work for me better).
The newer 3.14.531.1 T-mobile rom is 'better.' The music tab works fine, but I've obtained new problems. The weather never updates in 'my location' (I know there are threads on this topic). Also, my phone reboot when I plug it into a computer via USB. Every time, without fail, the phone reboots when I plug it in. And I have no resolution to this (if anyone has any idea... please let me know, I cannot for the life of me find any forum threads on this).
I like android roms, but they still seem less responsive than the native WM 6.5 and the camcorder still doesn't work (but, I truly appreciate everyone's work on making android on the HD2 possible).
Last, though this should've been my first point. I too find that I have to reboot my phone often. I have a case on my phone, which I have to dismantle, then remove the case of the battery cover, and then pull out the battery. This is an annoyance. If anyone suggests that it is easier to press that little yellow button than to pull out the battery, you must either have your tools always accessible, or you have managed to create and attach a bionic finger that has a release mechanism with a 1/8th inch-pointed tool hidden inside that can actually fit and press the button, because my fingers cannot press that button without these tools.
Actually, even if you did have a tool handy... It's way easier to just remove the damn battery.

The peanut gallery has spoken
Let’s see the reset button can be either yellow or red right, and you have to actually get a pin or something to poke it to reset, so taking the battery out is just another way to reset the phone when the reset doesn’t work, after all the HD2 is perfect ?
I could care less if you manage your clients phones and I doubt they are so perfect as you claim, like I said it's my op the HD2 is a POS
I use to work for T-mobile and guess what the #1 phones that has complaints was always the Windows Mobile phones, even now when I went back to get a loaner the HD2 is still the #1 issue phone with customers

There must be like a "driver license" for this phone
Some people are realy but seriously really dumb
There are many threads with an answer for almost all problems of the HD2!
Get lose of the STOCK ROM'S like Airborne Aircrew say's
And if u are installing new rom's read the installation guides first!! there are 10+ guides at your disposal
Now the chance of a problem is decreased with -99% believe me
If u getting android... read the installation guides first!!
Congrats!!!! if you have no problems you may obtain your HD2 driver license (create your own one)
How strange or stupid that ppl keep saying that Android builds are unreliable, with constant freezes and such...... I have NO problems running 5 different builds for days with no issues and no restarts... I do restart the phone once in a while but only to switch to different builds....See that's the beauty of this phone we can switch to many different roms, both Windows and Android. And to break a phone bc it froze shows being very immature. Instead should've found a reliable Rom there's Lots of them here. It never seizes to amaze me the ignorance of some people .......
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
My honest opinion
When i first got my hd2, i was super excited with it. I thought it was the best phone ever. I'd already worked with WM so i knew something about it. The HD2 was great, but after few days i was bored of it. I found nothing to do with WM, as there are almost no GOOD apps for it. Then, i came to XDA, and read about flashing custom roms. I was afraid of bricking my phone, but i flashed a custom rom anyways. After that, I flashed like 5+ custom roms on my HD2, and I looked at it and said: Now this is more like it. But i was missing something. WM, custom or stock rom, has almost no GOOD apps. So, i decided to try android on my HD2. I've used more than 10 android builds on my HD2, just for fun. After putting android on my Leo, i can honestly say I think it's the best, most versatile phone EVER. I currently use WM, Android and Ubuntu on my HD2. It's so much fun. Why would i want a phone that has everything there, when i can have my HD2, and get excited when a new custom rom is made, or a new Android build comes out for it. My Leo is more than my phone, it's my hobby.

I think that the hd2 is one of the best phones of the generation. With how far the android developers have come since I sold mine, I think that its a fantastic base platform not a 500 dollar paperweight.

umm... HD2 = a windows phone. android was ported to it.
as for windows phone to android i dont think anyones tried or tried very hard.
try launcher7 gives you the look and feel of a windows phone and runs nice
Wp7 has some strict hardware requirements... the note breaks almost all of them

Impossible no. But it is not going to happen. HD2 was a microsoft windows phone to start. The Note isn't. If you want a windows phone then buy a windows phone. I am sure a mod will have this thread closed very shortly like all the past threads.
damn that sucks i want my note screen with windows phone 7 guess that dream wont come true -_-
Did you read the post about trying win7 launcher

Wow. Where to start. Hrmm... Okay:
The HD2 originally came with windows mobile installed. Due to the (at the time) awesome hardware specs and large screen, everyone wanted it. After a week, we all realized how horrible windows mobile was and started experimenting with getting Android to boot. For an entire year we were copying Android versions over to our SD cards and booting from there. Around Christmas, we finally got the bootloader unlocked and we had a great phone. It wasn't much longer before Ubuntu was also running and once Win7 came out, folks had that booting too. All of this was in answer to one problem: windows mobile sucked.
Our Notes do not suck. Even the "stock" version of Android that ships with the phone is better than anything Microsoft has come up with so far.
So, no, I don't think anyone is concerned with getting another OS to boot on the Note.
On my Note via xda app.
Windows Mobile 6.5 is different than Windows Phone 7. I often miss some of the things Windows Mobile used to offer. NRGZ28 made a killer Rom for the HD2. I also loved the level of customization and the ease of applying things via .cab. It used a lot of desktop computer features as well. We're only recently reaching that level of nuance in Android as far as that stuff goes. The problem with Windows Phone 7 however is that all these good things died, and thus so did the true pocket PC.
Android has come such a long way and our devices are beautiful and versatile now. Who would ever want to run anything different at this point?
Just for reference, I posted some screenshots of my old Windows 6.5 HD2.
Not sure why I felt like doing this, but it made me remember those times
Never gonna happen.....
but it would be cool....for about 10 minutes.....LOL......g
Ahh yes I remember the good old days on my tilt2. Good times. Gotta love triple booting

Windows Mobile 6.5 far from sucked. I still have my Telstra HD2 and it has an NRG ROM too. There were many things you could do on it that you still can't with android. The problem was not the OS but the lack of quality and compatible apps and the ending of support from microsoft.
Windows phone was microsoft's attempt to go after iphone. They locked it up very well just like the iphone OS. But unfortunately that takes away from customization and apps also. Reliable but boring for most. I'm just afraid android is going down the same path as microsoft once did. Too many phone variations and incompatible, crappy, and harmful apps.
Has anyone ran Windows 8 (Windows phone) on an Android? I know HTC has a Windows phone. The reason I ask is because I would like to try Windows and be able to use Cortana, and if I don't like it, I can revert back to sweet a$$ ROMS from here. Thanx
Dude... Windows phone isn't just a rom... Simple answer... No never. They aren't even close to being the same. Try one most carriers will offer 30 day money back offers an I believe T-MObile has a trial thing going on as well...

I know Windows isn't just a rom, Verizon has the HTC m8 as a windows phone so I thought maybe the one max could run it also. I was hoping since you could run Windows or Linux on the same machine that maybe the phones would also be able to dual boot. I thought I seen someone dual boot Windows and Android on a tablet on youtube awhile ago. So you are 100% certain there is no way to dual boot or run Windows on an Android device? I want to be for sure. Thanx for your reply.
