The HTC hard disk Mini, too previously known equally Photon, is pretty onetime equally far equally smartphones go--the Windows Mobile 6.5 scream upward was starting fourth dimension released dorsum inwards Feb 2010. So a XDA Developer fellow member has given the cellular telephone a novel lease of life yesteryear bringing Android together with Linux OS to it.
Forum fellow member "Cotulla" managed to larn the hard disk Mini running Android via the Haret Launcher, a file used unremarkably to kicking Android on Windows Mobile phones. The ROM for the hack was created from like HTC handset HTC Aria, which tin endure booted from a SD card. Add the files (Cotulla made a developer file together with a user file, together with therefore selection your camp), launch Haret, together with Android for hard disk Mini is yours! Sadly, the Linux OS is far from complete.
Although the hack is upward together with running, it's non without it's problems. The battery driver doesn't work, together with neither does the GSensor or WLAN. Some of the touchscreen buttons are too non perfectly aligned, together with therefore ask a flake of work. Unfortunately, Cotulla is no longer working on the hack, leaving it to the residuum of the developer community to consummate it. If you lot are going to run this hack, it may endure worth asset on until the hack is a piffling to a greater extent than reliable.
As Cotulla points out though, instead of hacking this scream upward to run Android, it mightiness endure easier to only selection upward a newer handset, or his recommendation, the HTC Liberty. Still, at to the lowest degree onetime Photon gets Android now, right?
