A developer has managed to provide six years
old HTC HD2 smartphone with Android version 6.0. It released its installation
instructions, but as yet not all features work on the device. That report XDA
Developers using a ROM developed by a user with the pseudonym macs18max. He
made a modified version of Android ROM CyanogenMod 13 for the HD2. This
version of CyanogenMod is based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. According to the
maker, the ROM yet suitable for everyday use.
The developer has the forum of XDA released a
set of installation instructions for those interested in trying the CyanogenMod
ROM. The HD2 users must have installed Magldr and an SD card with two extra
partitions. Macs18max also points out that the first boot may take about twenty
minutes.
For now, the software is not very suitable
for daily use, and it is primarily intended for enthusiasts and developers.
This is how the screen, wifi and audio, but the software is still in a great
deal of bugs. It is likely that come out improved versions in the future, but
it is not to be expected that a completely unblemished ROM is released.
The HTC HD2 is one of the most popular
devices in order to install custom ROMs. Although the device was released about
six years ago with Windows Mobile 6.5, developers succeeded in all versions of
Android to install published to date on it; Android Marshmallow can therefore
now be added to that list. Developers also have various versions of Windows
Phone, MeeGo and Windows RT even knows how to install it on the HD2.
