Since many companies nowadays are getting Google’s free mobile OS to run on different devices, it is not surprising to see Android on many gadgets. But to see Android OS running on a Windows Mobile phone, well, that is definitely another story.
Yes, you read that right, and no, there’s nothing wrong with your eyes, that is an Imagio by HTC running Android on the image above. A forum member at PPCGeeks got Android 2.0.1 to run on the WinMo handset, and although the functionality is not 100%, we can see progress on this matter.
Here’s what the crafty guy said:
I’ve gotten android 2.01 to boot on Imagio based on the topaz work on xda. After changing the the startup config’s I’ve got the touchscreen responding properly but the hardware keys arent mapped right. The latest kernel noted in post 602 on xda didnt boot but the original pkg did. PS vol down is for vol and backup key as its mapped currently and the bottom right onscreen button on the press the android to start will let you change the lang to english.
Also it works using the topaz’s mtype but not with rhodium mtype. I registered a mtype for whitestone with haret a few months ago of 2514 which hopefully we can use to further development.
He also said that there’s more work to be done with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Hardware key Mapping, the CDMA Radio and GPS. Yes, we know this is not the first time someone tries something like this, but for many Android users who like to get their hands on a HTC HD2, this is good news.
