droid on tp2

[richards108]

so as most of you have prob herd verizon is really pushing there droid launch. i know there is going to be a htc droid phone. will we be able to put the droid software on our tp2. im still wm all the way but itd be cool to play with droid to get more familure with the interface.

People having been working on getting android to run on the TP since the os came out but havent got it to where you can use it fully. There is no data or voice so its purely for looks. If android 2.0 gets ported to the TP2, it will be awhile for it to become functional and be loaded onto the device.

Don't see this happening anytime soon. You can emulate but not fully port it over yet.

I like how VZW has people convinced DROID is a whole new OS or something. It's Android...stock Android 2.0 in fact.

This has been dating back to when android came out and people were trying to get it on the Vogue and Titan..

Note: I did not test it on the TP2

HaRET isn't an emulator

And yes, according to dzo, you can port it over, but lose access to stuff like the CDMA service menu, which is why it's HaRET for now

Ummm, probably because Android 2.0 is a whole new OS?

We should be seeing working data, since the hero was released along with the SDK.

I'll clarify: IMO, it is an update to an existing OS. What I meant by my post was that with their advertising, VZW has some people convinced that "DROID" is a new OS when in fact, Android has been around for well over a year and is not named "DROID."
