hey guys it's Brenda minimun front pocket now calm for a while now you've been able to run android on your HTC hd2 by running the heresy lenox bootloader off of your microSD card now there's actually a way to run android on your hd2 throon and storage almost making it feel like your hd2 is natively running android and now there are many roms available for this method of putting android on your phone even once with Gingerbread this video we're going to show you gingerbread sort of natively running on HTC hd2 through the nand memory tool ok so i'm going to turn it on right now we're going to see what will happen here it's going to show you a splash screen for the windows mobile rom i was using an energy rom and now it's going to boot into android from net so it takes just a few minutes and i'm going to cut back in in a minute when it's all ready to go and here we are i should mention that if you do this and you don't like the android you can go back to windows mobile so here we are i'm going to unlock the screen and what we have is a kind of custom version of gingerbread 2.3 you'll recognize a lot of it the performance is good the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ends radios work it's just it's gingerbread on the hd2 running natively so here we've got a Wi-Fi connection it looks good let's dive to pocket now calm we've got the gingerbread style keyboard here looking great we'll run some benchmarks on this in a second to give you an idea what kind of speed you can expect to see because you can presumably or definitely use this as your your full time operating system and actually run gingerbread on your hd2 you were able to do this with the other method but with the nand storage method things seem a little bit faster so we are loading pocket now we can go into landscape mode accelerometer support is there and here we go really good performance in the browser as it loads pocket now ok we're going to jump back home now and it has support for landscape got a reflection they're in the home screen as you can see okay and so let's jump swipe around a little bit kind of standard android home screen stuff here and let's go into quadrant and run some benchmarks now in order to do this on your hd2 some things have to be in place for example your radio needs to be updated and your hspl needs to be updated to one of the newer versions I won't fit all the steps in the post on pocketnow.com so you can know how to how to get this going because it's not as easy as dropping some files on your SD card and going to a file browser and running hair exe but close let's see what the score comes out to for the den and Android on here on the on the hd2 and we're almost finished here it's doing some of those 3d tests should get a result pretty soon send the benchmark results up and let's see what we get Wow pretty darn good it's coming right a little bit of better better above the the galaxy s they're not as good as the motorola droid x definitely 9 not as good as the nexus one running froyo but pretty darn good for something that's not intended to run on your hd2 so of course we can go back to the home screen go into the settings everything is is pretty much normal here and go to about phone and we can go take a look this is android 2.3 point one so kind of the the latest version there they pull down notification has the black this is obviously full-blown gingerbread and it works pretty darn fast there's no question that you could use this as your daily operating system even the little shutdown animation works boom there you go so again we'll put links on pocket now calm on how to get this running on your hd2 really cool that this is even possible if you think about it very interesting stuff and there are tons of roms that are coming out with all different flavors on XDA developers that you can use if you do the nand method of loading android onto your phone please give this video a thumbs up if you liked it and thanks for watching that's it for now
