Similar to the procedure of installing Android on iPhone, the hack has been developed further and now we have an HTC HD2 phone running successfully on Android 2.1. With the dual boot option, your HTC HD2 would have the capability to run Android 2.1 along with the Ubuntu Linux “Karmic Koala”, which is the default OS.

The group which calls themselves HTC Linux are responsible for the port and they seem to have done a tremendous job in porting Android 2.1 smoothly on HTC HD2, as it runs there like it would run on any other Android device.  At the moment, both the OS look a bit buggy after being installed there but hopefully it would soon be removed in the next update.

To know more about how to port Android 2.1 on HTC HD2, head to the XDA-Developers forums and grab all the necessary files you need to start the process.

With this port, you would have the capability to experience the HTC Evo 4G OS on your HTC HD2, with the difference of 4G speed and hardware.
