HTC HD2 is a great phone. You can run stock Windows Mobile 6.5 on it. Err… WinMo 6.5 is a little bit outdated. No worry, you can install custom ROMs like Android and Windows Phone 7. Personally, I don’t recommend WP7 unless you need to use a killer app only build for it (but I doubt that). So Android OS is the one that you should get. And here are the latest and greatest Android ROM based on Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread that you should try.
Wow… Lot of NAND Android builds lately. Here is another one from xda-developer, imilka ~ Stock HD Sense. It is HTC Desire HD build that based on latest RCMixHD v3.0 [TELUS WWE 1.84] for Desire. Using Android 2.2.1 Froyo and Rafpigna 1.7 OC Kernel. By the way, it is deodexed, zipaligned and unsquashfsed build. So you need to have 400MB system layout on ClockworkMod Recovery. And all your data will be stored at ext partition on SD card.
Normal SD card Android development is slowing down after NAND Android and Windows Phone 7 came out. However, there is a way to run Android on SD card with NAND Android or Windows Phone 7 installed on your phone. It can be done with the help of SD MAGLDR Android ROM. Normal SD card Android cannot run on current MAGLDR without modification. However, most of the SD Android ROM chefs do not support it officially. And left only few that current still developing and supports it through SD MAGLDR method. Here are the top 3 SD MAGLDR Android ROMs that I tried based on CyanogenMod 7, HTC Desire Z and HTC Desire HD builds.
Latest build is always the best. Lot of bugs fixes and improvements… Here you are ~ Ultimate Droid 3.3 from Crawlingcity. Ultimate Droid is one of the Android ROMs that I like. It is fast and smooth. Crawlingcity always updated this ROM based on latest UD build and kernel. And this build is based on Android Gingerbread 2.3.3 and using Tytung r9 Kernel.
Who want Windows Phone 7 Mango (7592) ROM on your HTC HD2? It is time for you to download and install it now. DFT released WP7 Mango ROM for HTC HD2 but the mango is in green colour (beta release). For your information, I did not test it out yet. Or maybe won’t install and test it at all even with the Marketplace is working…
