Ubuntu Linux Booting and Running on HTC HD2 – Fully Functional!

30th November, 2012 - Posted by admin - 25 Comments

EDIT: It does actually make calls and call the number but there is no sound. Here I have my T-Mobile HTC HD2, which is a Windows Mobile phone and I am going to boot Ubuntu on it. Ubuntu is a Linux Operating System for desktop and Laptop computers. It runs very nicely and is very smooth. It has text and 3G internet and all features of Ubuntu. It can’t make calls as of yet due to lack of drivers for the phone/modem. Developer’s Site: htc-linux.org Download here: gamesquare.co.uk

Ubuntu is Linux, its built on Debian Linux, has a Unix core, and runs on the Linux kernel.

He was actually right about it being the Linux KERNEL and Ubuntu being a distro. Fedora is RHEL. But you knew that :)

there is only one problem with ubuntu on hd2, just after restart, wm will not run programms, so you will make hard reset…

Why ubuntu? So heavy and clunky…something like Arch, or Debian would be better.

Ubuntu being built on the Linux kernel doesn’t make it a Linux operating system. Hmm, funny. I guess Android isn’t a Linux operating system either, but still has a Linux kernel. Must be the same for Fedora. BAHAHAHA

Ubuntu isn’t Linux. Its a distribution. Linux is ONLY the kernel. I’d also suggest pulling gnome out and installing a lighter DE like LXDE or simply use openbox, it will make it run a tonne faster.
