HTC HD2’s new Android 6.0 Marshmallow build proves mettle
This is the latest update about the release of Android L and Android M on HTC One M7, M8, and M9. And as noted by HTC, this is for the unlocked models, not the carrier variants.
However, not all HTC One M8 devices are getting the rollout right now.
Previously, HTC One M8 Google Play Edition also received an update from Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
HTC is extending its Black Friday and Cyber Monday trade-in offer for the One A9 until January 7, 2016. Great news, all testing has been complete [sic.] and the update for Marshmallow will be sent out within 24 hours. The company released the One M9 this year, featuring a very similar design to its predecessor, and even when they opted for a more traditional camera, it didn’t perform as well as some others from the competition, so this phone still didn’t sell as the company would have wanted.
He then merged it with “Evervolv”, a set of fan-created legacy codes to help older devices work with newer versions of Android.
Android 6.0 Marshmallow is finally beginning to roll out to OEM Android handsets in the US, after months of preparation and waiting after Android M was introduced on the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, with the Nexus family of devices following with updates soon after.
In the last couple of the years, modders brought it to present by porting various operating systems, newer than Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional. Some user might choose to get Android 5.1.1 to enjoy their familiar software, but some might skip that and go straight to Android 6.0.
It has been just under a year since Lollipop was ported to the mighty HD2 with most features working and now the folks at XDA-Developers have managed to do the same with Android’s latest version.
