HD2 run Android 4.0.1 Ice Cream Sandwich

ICS can be installed on HTC HD2 right now if you are interested. Since this is an alpha build, some pretty important things aren’t working: data connection (3G), audio, USB mass storage and camera. Since these things are quite important for daily use so we suggest staying away from it until the stable or at least beta build arrives.

 From XDA:

Installation:

• Please use at least 150MB system partition (and at least 2MB cache partition). (New version may need larger system partition.)
• Full Wipe.
• Flash the ROM.
  • MAGLDR: Flash NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Alpha1.zip, then reboot.
  • cLK : Flash NexusHD2-IceCreamSandwich_Alpha1.zip andcLK_kernel_for_ICS.zip, then reboot.

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich was officially revealed along with the Galaxy Nexus about a couple of weeks ago. It is, undoubtedly, the most important update in Android’s history as it marks the OS’ jump to a much, much snappier, easy to use and, of course, aesthetically pleasing user-experience which previous versions, arguably, didn’t quite offer. Physical buttons have been ditched in favor of virtual on-screen ones, redesigned apps, integrated screen capture, a vastly improved keyboard, unified copy-paste, powerful voice recognition, a much more able browser and then there is the brand new UI which makes Android look “mature” and some are even calling it “beautiful” which, well, we is something we all can agree on.
