Android OS now running on HTC Diamond: Cute little MID?
HTC Diamond is a great phone. Now, thanks to great folks at xda-devs, running Android OS on it has now become a reality. HTC Diamond runs Windows Mobile 6.1, but now it can Android OS too and you do not have to remove Windows Mobile from your device too.
Calls and SMS, both work without a problem. Here are the steps on getting Android on your Diamond:
1. Go to Connect-UTB Diamond download page
2. Download Android for HTC Diamond (70 MB)
3. Unizp it
4. Paste it on your internal card root
5. Hit the exe. First Android boot will take time
6. Have Fun
7. Restart your phone for coming back to Windows
Due to this hack, I can again start using my device as a MID. Internet Explorer Mobile 6 that comes with the Windows Mobile is downright pathetic when it comes to Web-browsing. The Android’s browser is based on web-kit, so the browsing experience must be much better than Windows Mobile.
I also own a HTC Diamond and looks like it is time to experiment Android on it. I am using Android 1.6 on my ASUS EEE 701 and it is running great.

It also runs fine on Raphael models (Diamond + slide keyboard)
It still not runs data service required programs but you can try Android’s expirience without lost Windows Phone OS, just a soft reset.
XDA-Devs provides a great upgrade to Windows 6.5.3 (TAEL’s ROM), I had installed an I have not problems of any kind with it. It includes Opera 10 Beta that really improves the previous versions of the OS
PS: sorry my bad English
Thanks for sharing the valuable information, Josemarti!
@ josemarti : how to make it back to Windows Mobile OS if we have running on Android?? And is there any problem running Android on HTC Touch Diamond??
Thanks for the information :)
Hello!
I’ve tryed this one, launches without any problem, but stops on screen, writing SIM card is locked. After entering PIN writes: Incorrect PIN Code. Tried different simple codes, like 0000, or 1234 – no result, as well, as with a correct PIN. Now trying on another sim, without PIN Code, everything works.
