Sprint's HTC Touch Pro 2 Gets Updated to Android

The XD Android project has been helping WinMo phone users load an Android operating system on their phone for some time now, but recently the folks behind this mobile mash-up decided to try it again with a newer handset, the HTC Touch Pro 2. This process seems simple enough—and according to them, it is—and the best part about this project is the results. We love HTC phones for so many reasons, but what we truly appreciate is how versatile and accessible these handsets are. In this video, first reported by PocketNow, we see an HTC Touch Pro 2 demonstrate a deliciously speedy boot-up of Android and some astounding capabilities such as working calls, SMS, the addition of shortcuts and other data.

We’ve got you covered, so check out some of the links we’ve collected. You'll want to check the thread designated for your device. Installation instructions may vary, but they usually involve dropping a batch of files onto your storage card or installing a CAB. After that, just run HaRET from your storage card and it'll boot Android in about 2 minutes (slightly longer on first boot)."
