No, for now its not possible. Maybe in the future, when Android is fully ported. Maybe never...

yes it's possible but unfortunatelly the developer who can do this will not do this for us as he retired from Android for Mini development
name for this is NAND build and it deletes WM from phone.

You Can't do that with HTC HD Mini, because it doesn't have enough space, it's about 300MB, Maybe Android's need at least 500MB.

Question Why need flash Android?

Hi guys,

Just to join the discussion, can someone tell me why some want an Android dedicated HD mini when, if you can double boot, you actually have choice between 2 os (Wm & Android)?

Would flashing Android (if & ever that day comes) make the Photon that much faster?

Or is it something else

Sorry, I just think the dual-boot option is ideal!

cheers,

curiouser
