Wonderful job!!!
Even for the flagship HTC 2011 called Sensation there is only Android 7.1.2
HTC HD2 is a real legend!

seems like its dead atm, galaxy s2 took its place (while s2 doesnt run as many OSes as leo, because its kernel development went on for longer it survived the "purge" of android 8-13, and it got mainline linux kernel effectively making it immortal to a certain extent. also likely because it was supported by replicant, who are incredibly devoted to the devices they work on.)
thats not to say it wont ever come back, its still an armv7 device and therefore technically still meets android's minimum requirements (and has over 512mb of ram, lower might not be able to boot)
on top of that, the amount of work that was already done on this device makes alot less impossible for a developer to just pick up from where others left off, since alot of it was open source.
i have this , you can test. i don't remember if it work , good luck.

Android 8.1 LineageOS 15.1 for HTC HD2 - To see if an 11 year old phone can run a fairly recent version of Android.
All credit for source code goes to @J0SH1X and @Lunarixus for the source code to compile this ROM. Without their hard work this would never be possible. Just trying to get together some people so we can get this ROM to boot properly. Their sources are available here: https://github.com/qsd8k-legacy
This ROM is built from Lineage Sources and the device tree, kernel and anything else from J0SH1X and lunarixus. I will provide manifest.xml used to build if anyone is interested. The ROM is completely untested at the moment as I am having trouble with my TWRP at the moment. I literally built it from source and uploaded the ZIP. This page is more for the community to test and give feedback on the ROM.
Again, IT IS NOT MY FAULT IF YOU FLASH THIS AND IT BRICKS YOUR PHONE! It shouldn't do as it is compiled from source for htcleo but don't blame me if anything happens. It's on you!
That said we would be very happy for any feedback and glad to compile a ROM for an 11 year old phone!

ps. if you dont add proper credits and sources i see myself forced to report this thread to moderators21
I am fine with giving credit. Just wanted to get a ROM put together that might bring some more people in to help with the project. I am taking no credit for the sources just compiling it into a ROM. If you let me know exactly what you'd like put there I will get it updated ASAP.
