Droid on non droid phones

Post by HaGGardSmurf »

Heys guys just wanted to give a heads up you can install android on many phones that may not have android on them.

What you do is copy the OS onto your SD card, then launch an executable that will reboot your device into linux, and from there will boot into android. Its 100% safe, and as far as I know you cannot brick your phone. It will not void your warranty since you are not installing a new rom, your simply booting into a new one. If anything goes wrong, just turn your phone off, then back on. (It will boot into windows mobile like nothing ever happened)

Supported devices:
Kaiser (AT&T Tilt, HTC TyTN II, MDA Vario III, XDA Stellar)
Polaris (HTC Touch Cruise)
Vogue (HTC Touch CDMA, Verizon XV6900, Sprint Touch, Okta Touch)
Titan (HTC Titan, xv6800, Bell PPC6800, Mogul)
Diamond (HTC Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV)
Raphael (AT&T Fuze, HTC Touch Pro), Topaz (HTC Touch Diamond2, AT&T Pure)
Rhodium (AT&T Tilt 2, HTC Touch Pro2).

There has also been preliminary work on booting Android on other Windows Mobile devices, including the Sony Xperia X1

I'm currently on android 2.01 its not 100% ported, camera and GPS dont work, but there are updates almost daily. According to the big guys they are about 80% completed to a full port, good thing android is open source, god I love google...

Battery life isnt too good, but they are supposedly working on that last...

Anyways I'm loving it :P

It's a good demo for android, my battery life currently is only like 3 hours but I dont use this for daily use, Ive only been using it to play around with droid and see how cool it really is. I think my contract expires soon, I'll be getting a droid for sure!

As far as I'm concerned, droid phones are currently the bomb. Especially if you're running 2.1.

I got 2.1 on my phone and its amazing, the only thing with my phone is my battery life (Since its not made to run android). When I'm at home I have my phone running android all the time.
