Would it be possible to have Android on this phone since its basically the same phone as the hd2
I assume you mean as a duel boot? As i see a lot of people asking to put android on it yet they could just buy the htc desire hd an almost identical phone that is designed to work with android. tbh i would love to see some sort of emulator for a couple of the apps but i am so so glad to be rid of android i loved it but it felt like an early 90's computer all basic with no flair.
I think it would be possible but it will be glitchy and a long time off my advise would be if you want android to buy an android device they have a lot to choose from.

its more advanced then the HD2 and has less touch buttons
however its a bit of a silly question IMHO. If you want android get the Desire HD.
Why put a round peg in a square hole ?
I actually think it's a great question.
Why would people want it? because it gives you CHOICE!
It would be great if you could dual boot with Android and WM7 so you get the best of both worlds: taking advantage of Android whilst also using WM7 while it matures. I'd absolutely love to have a device with android and WM7.
Wish I was a developer, I'd work on that project straight away! I'd pay to have a dual-booting HD7 (or desire HD!) !
Bring it on dudes!
Wow please close this thread since there are so many options available for android these days and if anyone needs a android phone they should buy an android phone
I'm not sure I agree with the last poster. T-mobile has no android alternative to the HD7 that I am aware of.

really? for tmous or t-mobile europe? Cause there is the g2 and mytouch4g that just came out android...
To the OP, considering how the hd2 android is booted from the sd card and technically, there is no sd card on the wp7 (once it's inserted it becomes program memory), I don't think this is happening anytime in the future. Gotta agree, that dual booting for computers can be important to some people, but for phones, I just don't see it happening with the newer os's.
I'm a layman with no technical knowledge, just interested, so my comment was more on a visceral level than technical. To clarify, what I meant to say was that '...there is no android alternative ...... I am aware of'...' regarding the large screen format of the HD7. I bought a G2 but returned it because it was bulky, and I decided that I did not need the slide out keyboard. I really liked my first foray into the andriod world during my two weeks using the G2, and was hoping that I would be able to use the HD7 with android as well.
PS. I'm in Florida.

If he wants Android, tell him to go get an Android phone if it's within 14 days, otherwise, it'll be awhile before Android comes to the HD7.

[Q] [question] HD7 ANDROID?
Okay I was just wondering.. is the dev going to make a way to port android to hd7.. I have a hd2 and its been ported.. I love android but love HTC 4.3 screen hd7 and plan on buying it.. what is there to come for the hd7. Android, or no?

I agree. I don't get it. WinPho7 is amazing. If you want andriod, dont get a brand new phone that just came out with a new windows version. Sure andriod has its perks, but so does Windows. I've had Apple, Andriod and Windows, and I just dont get the point of changing something off the bat. Altho He is probably thinking that the HD7 is like the HD2, with WinPho6.5, which I personally did not like. But it did have its perks too, like multitasking. I don't think many realize how long and how much work it took to bring Andriod to the HD2. I'm not a developer myself, but I can only imagine!
hd7
Okay I find out there is a phone out that's come close to the hd7.. its called HTC desire HD.. its looks just like the hd7 but the only thing defferent is the cam. Which is a 8mp instead of 5mp and its a android phone.. its not windows..
Just get a desire HD if you want an android powered 4.3 inch screen

If you want an android phone.. Why are you buying a hd7??
The answer is maybe. If you want Android, get an Android phone. There is a high likelihood that someone will at least attempt to port Android to the HD7. Whether or not it will be anytime soon, if it will be stable/usable, or if it will actually happen at all remains to be seen. My advice is not to buy a phone on the hopes that Android will be ported to it.
[Q] Why HTC LOVE not to upgrade the previous HTC Devices even though they are able to support the software??
Because they can sell new phones.
Have patience.
htc is actually one of the better companies when it comes to upgrades on older phones. I hear sony or motorola customers get no love.
I guess being better doesn't translate to being good at updating previous models. It's all about making a sale.

Cause if every single HTC device have right of upgrade, what's the point of new devices from HTC ? This forces people to buy new products. Hope you understant
like i said, it's all about the sale
They sell a device, support a few updates for a while, perhaps after that one or two updates spread out, then they do focus on the sale of newer devices almost exclusively.
HTC is better than some companies, and at least they have made lots of hardware that can support better software, because we can enjoy the great work of independent developers like those on xda to give us lots of options. We don't have to rely on HTC that way!
Go open source!

I will be happy if HTC just gives out drivers to stop the camera lag in AOSP ROMs, that's all I ask
I found that app in sensation forum...it is force closing on all the roms except virtuos unity one. It won't even run on the IS official sense 3.0 update.
Anyone knows how we can port it???
You should be happy, as HTC is actually releasing updates...go to Huawei or Motorola...the phone sells and dies with the same Rom. You'll find all sorts of unofficial Roms, but not from the manufacturers.
So, HTC is doing quite all-right, not as good as Google (from obvious reasons) but not as bad as Huawei or Motorola.
OK. once again regarding this app, does anyone have any idea how to port it?
i have the sensation qhd .apk of this app.
any one willing to resize this app for wvga?
Hi guys,
I'm thinking about picking up an original HTC One (M7). I'm not too interested in Sense, so I'm wondering how good/buggy/reliable the Google Play Edition (GPE) software is. Would it compare to a Nexus 5? Is the Sense software actually better?
Thanks!

You'll probably not have much comparison between the HTC One GPE and the Nexus 5 here because comparison thread are not allowed. Personally, I prefer Sense over GPE. Maybe you could go in store and try both to get an idea? And there always the possibility to convert your phone to GPE if you don't like sense (require to S-OFF 1st). The only thing I can say is we see many people here converting their phone to GPE and then they want to switch back to Sense again....
I made another petition which might help getting the KitKat update to our HTC Desire 500.
This time it's in English. The problem is that there are alot of people that are using HTC Desire 500, but HTC simply doesen't want to get us any update. Desire 500 would run KK or L flawlessly.
But still, we have a big chance. Sign the petition now!

Patrik.KT said our phone is not getting kitkat because our processor (msm7627a/msm8625) is too old. Phones from samsung with the same processor are still on 4.1 as well.
Very sad to post this guys, but turns out the device will not be getting lollipop due to not providing an "Optimal Experience"
https://twitter.com/htc/status/592823289204047872
We will be getting 4.4.4 though which still sucks as it will take them another 3-4 months to develop it.
This sucks .. Ironic that my last device s4 mini that I sold over a year ago is getting lollipop while my new device isn't..
Well i don't trust htc .. sometimes they said something and it's totally wrong.. remember on their website they said that the One mini 2 will get Eye Experience ... And look now .. no Eye experience on our device..
So let's see
Disappointing and no M9 Mini on the horizon.... I might have to buy my first non-HTC phone.
Together with the disappointing release of the M9, this might have been the last HTC phone I've bought for a long time. I felt they had something with the M7, but since then no significant progress has been made and announcements like these certainly pushes me over the edge.
It could be 1gb ram is not enough ..
I noticed the HTC sense home update made my phone lag a lot so I uninstalled it seems much better now.
I think my next phone won't be a HTC maybe a Samsung .Samsung generally have better cams than HTC I think
Moto G is same cpu and ram and runs android 5.1 very well.
So either Sense put too much of an overhead or HTC just didn't sell enough HTC One Mini 2 to make it worth worrying about. It seemed to have been a popular phone in the UK but in US its only on one network.
Few custom roms for it either .....

Guys i run my stock rom with no lag at all .
I've made one stuff to get this kind of flying..
I will build a rom hybrid if i can get some htc apps work on cm12 rom.
I think we can get a rom close to sense 7.0 on lollipop.
I'll try that and i'll open a thread for the project .. if any dev who owned the one mini 2 can join me on this project
Stay tuned
Ps : to get more free ram to run sense with no lag i will make thread for you guys
My mini don't lag at all I'm running ur ROM will . but I've debloated all the useless apps that HTC like to put on the phone kids mode google + etc I even run the old version of google apps that let's u save maps and keep for longer than a month but as soon as I updated sense home it caused lag so I uninstalled it ..
hey guys ..
someone can make a petition on twitter or via mail to htc for release Lollipop with sense 6.0 on the HTC One mini 2 ..
i cannot believe that they pull out some device and they just left their users ...
Maybe there's still hope...
If someone can talk to them.. ask them for the lollipop .anyone who got a twitter account, send them this message about lollipop for mini 2.

I have... But they have the same sh***y PR reply stating that there won't be an "optimal performance" in Lollipop
Old tricks from HTC. The same was with Desire HD and One Sv and few more phones. Thats why i change the brand. I still like the HTC phones but not gonna buy me again. I was with HTC since the original Desire was out.
Same for me. I realy like the HTC Device looking. But the One M8 was too big for me, so i decided to take the mini 2. And now i get the same answere as i got for my old good Desire: No Update.
And they cannot tell me that Lolipop will not work on the mini2 It's simply the same hardware as the One M7 and there everything is working.
This was my last HTC and the last Android, too.
That's partially true, m7 has more ram and a different processor, but that's not an excuse in my opinion. The m7 is one year older than our mini 2... And 2nd, there has been no major update, we're still on 4.4.2, as when it was commercialized... Absurd
Just had this convo with HTC. Of course they used the same reply
