What you do guys think about Android OS running on Windows Mobile powered phone? If you think it is impossible then you are wrong. Sim4996, A arch-modder Over at XDA-developers did it. He hacks HTC Kaiser (aka AT&T’s tilt), a Vogue, Niki and Polaris and make these phones run on Android 2.1. That’s really awesome. What you guys think about HD2 ?

Android 2.1 is working well on these devices with some little issues, like the Bluetooth is not working correctly and the camera doesn’t currently work, otherwise the phone’s are working great.

You can make calls , also you can use WiFi and GPS. But keep one thing in mind, if you install Android in your WinMo, then your WinMo is erased forever. So don’t do it if you dont want to leave WinMo behind forever.

  1. Leaving winmo behind? Not a problem ;-)

    Especially as these are older models, it would be a nice project to undertake.

    Weird though, 2.1 working decently on these phones, while the HTC hero still has no “near perfect” custom rom. I know, has to do with the drivers which are non-open-source, but still…

  11. When Android was first released, I was able to run Android on my HTC Mogul. When I turned off the device, it would boot back into Winmo 6.0. So I’m almost positive you can still restore Winmo after flashing.

    Great news I’d love to have the HD2 with android. Was just about about to shell out the 520 for the nexus but may just wait and use my family plan upgrade to snag the hd2 for 200. Why’d you not include family plan users google?
