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.

just to help you get started...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6y0YK1IqjB0
and as the above stated...do some reading first before starting threads. Most often than not...people have been in your shoes before..all you gotta do is search. And Welcome, and good luck with your phone endeavors!
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.

So these days i was googling for a way to really install windows 8 on android tablets. I came over a video about a software called "changemysoftware". It seems it would make your devicea dual boot with windows 8 and android. What do you think? Is this fake?

But theres a video of someone installing it on their Android, it dual boots windows 8 and android, but windows 8 was laggy due to his dual core tab. There were 200+ likes and 20+ dislikes so, seems legit, he also uploaded the program onto ZippyShare so that you didn't have to do the survey, but when I tried it tells me the software is outdated and needs to be updated, so I cant do it unless I update it completing the survey...
You do know that it can still be faked right?
Give me half an hour and I'll show you how to install any OS on any device. All that was is a video of something on someone's PC screen.
Okay, I know this I am late for the talk but I think this is best for future questions. Just to be clear for other people who is confused with this scam.
The program is .NET framework based so I decompiled it with .NET Reflector. I got the source and trust me, there is no ADB related code. It is picture and text popping out. Also if you try to rename one of its .DLL file, it is the text "changemysoftware" spamming around to make hundreds kilobytes file. You might think I'm lying so you better see the source itself, download the attachment.
Note: Reflector failed to decompile it into Visual basic or C# so .IL file is only working. Try to find "ButtonX_Click" event in the Form1.il. Pictures and assets are in the .resources file.
fake images only
It's a fake. I just tried without connection any device. it showed as my device locked and have to contact them to unlock. to drag money....

Change my software is fake! But there are many ways to run windows on Android:
Can you install it with BOCHS, but it is Windows XP
Can you use TeamViewer but you need a PC
If you find 2 tablets with the same hardware but one with Android the other Windows one then it is not a problem this dual boot with just a some fix to the bootloader. Or if you collect all of the drivers from windows tablets and find Android tablet with hardware that has win drivers and then mod the windows rom...
Only phone I've ever seen that on was the old HTC HD2.

You can't do that, but may be ask a dev to build a Windows arm build may be?
Technically, yes.You can find arm64 windows rom on UUPdump.
But it does not works on any android so we need to develop.
First you need a rooted 64bit phone with twrp and unlocked bootloader.
Then wait for a dev to re-partition device to only /system ,/ recovery and /bootloader.
Then he needs to develop drivers for that device.
That dev also needs to debug a uefi bootloader and after bootting from usb and install windows,thats done.
But it still need a arch converter which is placed in windows installer that can convert X86 or AMD64 apps (.exe)(.msi)into ARM64 apps.
It is hard so no one(at least not me ) can do this and the device-adding speed will be extremely slow.
(You need to re-develop when the cpu is changed. So only the arch-convertor is usable when you are working on a different device.)
[This is the full process to building windows arm64 build ]
Please note that arm32 is not supported.

I just googled this and saw this article (to my surprise); http://www.stuff.tv/news/microsoft-can-convert-android-phones-windows-10-devices
So basically I have a Blu Vivo Aire LTE handset coming my way, I'm actually keen to just try Windows OS after my past 3-4yrs of Android use, is it possible to do this yet?

I'm wondering if its possible to install Windows phone 8 on to my android which is fully rooted, I have played with custom ROM's on it before, I just wasn't sure if I'm able to install Windows phone 8 on to my android, or even where to get the ROM if I could, any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I am starting a new project for the Windows phone and don't have a test subject I can play with.
Thanks
NO.
1. Closed source. We can't port it.
2. Tbh, i kinda want it. But the lack of apps is a let-down.
Hi everyone!
I'm facing a "big little" problem with an custom made Android app. I don't have code skills so I don't know how to change the code of the appk.
The problem is something like this:
- Have an apk created a few years ago, with the API level 19 (android 4.4). It runs okay at all Android 4, 5 and 6 versions, but since android 7 I can't use it. Is an application that need root privileges to work properly.
There are any simple way to do something that allow me to run that apk on Android <=7 version?
Can't downgrade Android version because the stock version of my actual android phone is the 7.1, can't go lower than that.
Sorry if my question is not well explained, my English is not too great.
Thanks
Cheers.

Don't worry , your English is understandable
I don't think you can run older APK on a newer Android version. Because the API used in this app may be deprecated or something like that.
I'm not sure of the info I provided you here so if someone tell you the opposite , he may be right .
