I seriously want to be the first person on this thread to thank you guys for working on this. I cant wait to see what comes from this!
Subscribed! Will be checking in!

I'm waiting for the Android port too. Thanks to all those people working on it! Hopefully it will be done as soon as possible because I can't wait till I can run Linux on my Rhodium.

What's up pimpin I was going to bring it back in already but might as well give it another week lol This with Android is going to be ill!

I love ANDROID
Cool stuff.....
I love Android
Props for starting the thread....
BUT....
I CANT STAND AMERICAN STREET SLANG!!!!
ITS DUMBING DOWN THE WORLD AS IT EATS IN EVERY TV SHOW AND RADIO BROADCAST!
Kids in London all walking around "word up pimpin'?"
Word UP PIMPING!!! PIM<PING!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean - pimps are a BAD part of society. They are only there because of the stupid laws that mean there is no such thing as a SAFE LEGAL sex worker.
But Android WILL ROCK!!!

id like to help but i havent programed in 6 years... and i kind of fail at using linux on my laptop. (so i use windows) i havent yet used android but i assume its alot better a os then winmobile... wm6.5 ect makes me wish i has symbion on my phone at times... just because of how laggy it is.

This thread is great, but could someone post a quick status update? Ideally, the first post should indicate a few main points so people don't have to read all of the chatter to find the basic info.
A few things that would be nice to have on post #1:
Overview of project
Status
Blocking issues
Help needed from community
(dare I say) ETA?

Is this just a wishful thread or is something really happening ?
+ for the project.

i agree with paulbram!!

For a fully working Android port to TP2 I would definitely donate some cash!
And probably more than me would do the same.

I just got my TP2 last week. Must say that i am liking. Anyways wanna give out a shout out to all my peeps, chuck up the deuce and to all them chicken heads out there, keep flapping your gums!
p.s. ^ that was just a joke. But hopefully we do get some developing going on with this badboy.

Please keep in mind those of us on CDMA networks!
Thanks!

Here here. I'm brand new to this stuff for phones, but I have a ton of linux/windows experience and an HTC tp2 so if you need me to break (ok hopefully not) my (CDMA) phone testing something, I'm down.

Who is actually doing work on this? I mean, we can have a thread about this and talk all day, but if nobody works on it. Wish I had the knowledge to program this..

Not just a wishlist
this thread was started because the other 30 pages posted were on a poll thread...cr2 i think is to a point where he/she is now lab testing. i think the got dumps from both GSM & CDMA.anyway, i can't wait to get this port...

I will donate 200 bucks if somebody makes Android for hd7

I would donate 200 bucks or more if somebody makes an android rom for HTC HD7 and i bet a lot of others would donate also.
This phone is even better than hd2 why doesn't nobody want to start making an android rom for it, it shouldn't be that hard i guess.

But is the HD7 any better than a desire HD which already runs Android. I prefer the case design that's for sure - the hd7 is a pain to keep clean and the sharp edges are prone to chipping

Because most people bought the phone with intentions of using Windows Phone 7? You don't buy an iPhone to use Android do you? He is simply bringing up a valid point, the desire HD is better than the HD7 if you want Android.
Second, Windows Phone 7 is nowhere near as hackable or open as Windows Mobile on the HD2. It obviously is not that simple. Even on the HD2, it look a good half year before the early releases of Android on SD were even released.

Dacook2, all one has to do is look at your 6 posts on xda to find out who submits useless comments. First you want cab files now Android. You clearly never bothered to use the search feature, where these things have been addressed many times over.
Pro tip: do some research before you a) buy a phone and b) post troll crap on a developer forum. take your 200 dollars and buy a clue.

Why don't you just take those $200 and go register a new contract with your carrier for a new phone ?
Register with T-Mobile 2-years contract for an HD7, paid nearly $200 and then now begging someone else to make an Android for a Windows Phone.
If i don't mind, please allow me to ask you straight : "Are you $tupid?"

you are the first one who put the money where there mouth is....
hope $200/- is very big money... in indonasia at least...

Where's the mods in this section? Lock these stupid useless threads, three Android threads, one is getting filled with rants by some Sandra user, the other one you have idiots demanding you tell them how to brick their phone with clone hd7 rom, and now this? Thread needs to be locked, its useless and stupid. There are people on this board that do want to see real info on the status, not retarded threads that lead to nothing

wow you guys are really rude what kind of a community is this ?
you gang up on some new member and flame him as much as you can.
this is my topic it doesn't have to do with any other phone i made this topic only to say i would donate for this development to make somebody be interested in making it if it's money he is asking.
Why do you come and read this kind of topic if you have no interest in.
You are just here to flame new members showing off how many posts you have.
In the rules there is nothing that states about that i am not allowed to ask questions about HD7 phones and yes i have used the search button i couldn't find what i was looking for that is why i made these 2 threads.
If you don't like me that is another story pm your msn and let's talk it through but don't derail my topics saying my posts are useless of course they are useless to you because its my questions.
If somebody from you doesn't have something wise to say please GTFO of my topics.

I think the moral of the story is not to start new threads that have already been covered dozens of times.
You stated you searched for Android development but couldn't find anything, yet you posted on the "HD7 and Android" thread before starting this one? Also, when you created this topic, you must have seen where it lists topics of a similar nature?
It leads back to my question on your other thread to do with .cab files, did you not look into the phone/OS when you bought the device?
The key thing to remember is that this is a Developer forum.
Threads such as this are basically redundant. Asking questions or asking for help is fine, but requesting developers waste their time on porting over an OS that is readily available on a number of handset that look and act almost identical to the HD7 is holding back the development of this OS, which understandably annoys the Majority of us in the HD7 section.

Lets not just jump over board kids.
Donate someone to make android is quite silly. Again no one will believe such thing and 200 wouldnt be happy enough. You would donate more then 1,000 to someone but that again would be quite stupidty.. However i can understand your frustration as much as i am.
Windows phone 7 marketplace use useless wonders.. theres nothing i enjoy there for apps. I do more apps on the phone then making calls.
So lets fingers cross for android for HTC HD7 should we ? we are all together into this.
cheers
sandra

I have 39 post so you saying I'm trying to show off my count or bring rude is ridiculous.

I see a lot of good points in this thread. I personally would like to see HD7 get Android, even though there are better phones for running Android OS alone. However, I like to peak and tweak what I have, so I would enjoy having a phone running an os that isnt supposed to have it, with the option of going back (since I cant make up my mind, nor leave a perfectly good working phone alone for 10 seconds). I am currently running an HD2 with Typhoons Cyanogenmod, and I love being able to do anything I want to my phone whenever I want. I can't wait to get ahold of the HD7. I appreciate all the devs and all their hard work. I have gone through 5 different tmobile android phones in the last 6 months, and XDA has been THE site for me. I am currently trying to learn a bit about how the android os works (hardware handling, coding, etc), so I can add to the already awesome pool of devs that are here. XDA is the best, and I appreciate all the efforts.

I think we all need to remember what our mothers use to tell us "If you don't have something nice (or helpful) to say why don't you just shut yer' cakehole"
dacook2 is just trying to get something going on a great phone that won't let you do crap with it.
I think we should be asking Microsoft how the hell can they release a product that needs so much work......Hell i can't even go forward one song on my media player without unlocking my damn phone.

Thank God i think there is a future for this community after all if members like this one interact here.
I am so happy i could **** rainbows.

Remember kids. If wp7 doesnt get android for HD7 the only smart thinking is toi buy a tablet. with android built in. Never a tablet with wp7 obviously.
Tablets are now more and more available and relaly just the cost of a small price for a 10.1 sizes screen.
So we can get the tablet not an (ipad2) because are all not into apples. But a nice tablet 10.1 for android. And the phone HTC HD7 will just stay as it is with wp7 so there for u have android on the tablet and wp7 on the other device. And take the tablet around with you everywhere you go. After all a phone that that small screen is still really a small screen to beging with.
10.1 screen tablet will make you happyness.

You r going hard on him i think that his offer is good.sometimes we look for the change just because it's a change
it's not a matter of which is better wm7 or android but it's interseting to be able to use more operating systems on the same phone

Ha we're rude!! I point out to you that you're barking up the wrong tree trying to get Android running on the wp7 version of an Android phone and you start taking offence. You're just whinging because you bought the wrong phone

Excatly. I loved my HD2 and kept it for as long as I could before getting HD7. The only reason I run android on it is to see if I like it more then WP7.
All in all Android was good but interface speed was frustrating, so I tested Desires S in a shop and it worked the same way. Only now that I tested Motorola Atrix I would go with Android phone as it is easilly fast enough to run Honeycomb android on it. Normal Android is very fast on it.
You did not see what WP7 is about, what it can and can not do, what are the apps just went bought a fashion accessory like many iphone users do/did.

[Q]Why is this commuinty flourish just now?!

Hi everyone!
It might sound silly and i hope i post it in the right section, but i just bought the S3 mini(N version) and before i buy a new device i check XDA community status, checking for custom roms, root, recovery etc etc....
coming for a very huge community of a flagship device(HTC Desire HD, which had 4.2.2 update just a few days after official google release)
i was disappointed to see not too many roms in the development section especially for the N version (and no fully working CM rom),
but it was still enough, so i bought it and i'm very pleased.
Nowadays i see the community flourish! new N version compatible roms, toolkits, themes, all updated and with constant replays from the chefs,
so a question pops into my head... why now?!
the device was released in November 2012... what took so long?
i do understand it's not a flagship device but still.... i'm wondering...
i know the reason i bought the device right now it's because of it's low price at the moment(about 350$ in Israel).
on the same note i would like to thank all the developers and who ever is contributing to this wonderful community, may it continue to grow!!!

The community's been around for a while. This phone's only about 6 months old, root was gained inside a week, and they were struggling to get a working recovery that didn't cause a soft brick for a couple months. Give the devs time to get us a working CM build.

Chill out, better now than never, take a look at Galaxy Ace, it's from 2010 (?) and still receives new roms and updates. I prefer our phone to be maintained for 2-3 years than have a quick but short span of excitement and then nothing.

let's clear something, i am chill and i praise the devs for the work for how long it will take,
it was all from curiosity! sorry if anyone thought otherwise!
you gave me good answers and i see the development moving on rapidly, may this device will have support for at least a few years.
thanks guys.

A read about the forum state regarding Kit Kat OTA update

This is not a rant or a moan or whatever you want to call it. This is just clearing a few things up after the last few days what i have been reading on the forum.
Firstly support for N4 will still be there after this update, and i am sure we have at least one more major update to come for our beloved device. People saying that our phone will be next are just talking rubbish. People all over the forum are crying thinking that our device will be next. Until a confirmation from Google can people please stop with the conspiracy theories.
Also regarding with the launcher. Now i am not that really bothered if it gets released or not as i do not use Google Now. But again were is the official confirmation that the launcher will not be included for our device? There is none. Just tech sites writing there stuff as usual and every one is lapping it up and making a fuss.
I love my phone and i do not see a reason why i should upgrade to the Nexus 5. I do not want though people in the forum to start moaning about things that are not official yet from the God itself which is Google. Yes they are not perfect but until the actual release gets to our device and we have things missing then fine all hell can break lose.
Oh and one last thing. Yes am gutted that we not got the update soon as the release came out but we are still the first to get it were other mega devices are not getting it at least December or Xmas the earliest..So am still thankful for the Nexus line. But that will start not meaning anything soon anyway if they carry this new strategy of there to put money first before anything else.
But till then please take a chill pill people.
This will get shut down and deleted am sure but i just wanted people to read this and seriously take it easy till there is ACTUAL CONFIRMATION by GOOGLE THEMSELVES..
Mods sorry if this should not be here but sometimes a man has enough when reading through the forums and having whiny kids whine all the time.
And to add...We are XDA...If things go missing and are not included in the build that our beloved N4 should get then people trust our great and respectful Developers here who are if you do not mind me saying better than those at Google..We will have those features that the N5 has and if not should be better build than stock...So please show your support for our devs and less whining and help this place for newbies instead of moaning all the time about something that has not been confirmed yet

:highfive: for you!
This is exactly my opinion on the subject.
If you are on XDA, odds are that you know how to mod your phone, and believe me, everything that will not come with the official OTA will be made avaliable soon here on XDA.
Right, you might need root, you can argue you do not want to root but then what is the point of your anger if you do not want to take action to get something you want?
Just wait for Google to release the OTA and everything will be clear!
Should be soon I guess

exactly my friend. until something has been confirmed i do not understand why people are panicking. and by the next update which will be by summer time our phone should be more than capable to handle it and i am sure we are in for that to. phones should have a support from the OS development team ie Google at least maximum two years...so why are people are stressed is beyond me.
Now as the Galaxy Nexus that is a strange one and Google should state the reasons why they are not supporting it but again that is nothing to do with me or concerns me..But for people to start saying that the N4 is next is beyond silly to say

Sure there is confirmation. It is not included in the Nexus 7 WiFi KitKat update. And Google confirmed it with The Verge and said it is possible they will bring it to other devices other than the N5 someday but not initially.

Great post OP.. You know what I think it is? Purely my opinion after mulling over how absolutely weird the 4.4 rollout and release has been.
Ever been in a corporate environment where someone important is replaced? It's hell.. JBQ left and was replaced.. So here you have a new guy who is pulling the old corporate "I'm new and have to flex my superiority and change things to make it look like I'm doing something different and being productive" (ie: Fishing for his next promotion).. This happens in nearly every business.. It's hilarious to watch happen in real life because most employees know it's coming.. 3 months later after everyone hates the new guy and his useless changes everything goes right back to the way it was. I'm certain all the rumblings this is causing is being heard..

This is all very nice but it makes my think longer and hard did l make the right decision buying a nexus 4.With the ota out for nexus 7 and 10 l just wonder what the delay is with nexus 4

It has to do with the Ti core not being supported anymore. Also, not being supported by Ti did not meant it doesn't work for Galaxy Nexus, just means Google would not support a device without former support to its hardware.
Anyways, Galaxy Nexus got 4.4 already, go Install it

To be honest the reason why i opened this thread is to get my opinion about the many things that i have read on the forum. Many false information that is going around by others is beyond ridiculous because they listen to tech sites most of them without any proper confirmation by Google itself...Now as to regarding the updates that are coming for our device if there is an official changelog by Google to say what are the changes from the older nexus devices compare to the N5 then i will eat my hat if it is out already stating what we are getting and missing out on..
But again people forget that XDA is here to help..Hence why we should not be ranting and raving
What am trying to say is that i want this thread to stick to a proper adult discussion about our device regarding the build that we should get..And i do not want people to give mis-information till we get it from the Big Boss itself

I can understand your point here OP but, the purpose of forums such as this one is to allow for open discussion on a topic. I see no issue with speculation or assumption as long as people keep their heads. That is, after all, what makes things interesting and keeps people intrigued. If we went purely on the facts at hand 100% of the time, discussions would end fairly quickly and most forums would be desolate places.

[Q] (Q) Ubuntu touc For us?

Hi all, can anyone develop ubuntu touch for us? @szezso if you can pls develop

It's not ready for general consumption. Read some of the reviews.

Blast you for raising a non-dev topic in the Dev subforum!
Also, developing is not as simple as words outta the mouth, it takes quite some effort to port Ubuntu Touch even for flagship devices, let alone ours. Szezso has his own life just like ours, thus we must remember that he devotes his free time to dev for us for absolutely nothing. He is already busy with dealing with unfinished issues in CM11, don't bother bogging him down with another request, especially if the request is put forward casually.

If you treat it a question then why post it in the Dev section? General section is where these belong.
Additionally, like said above, Ubuntu Touch is currently very limited in function. As I experienced the "stable" version on my Galaxy Nexus 2 months ago, only calling, SMS and basic web experience can be guaranteed, many apps are just placeholders or won't work properly. So even if you somehow persuaded someone to build, your excitement won't last longer than 10 minutes, I can almost guarantee that.
