Despite having the Nexus S, Google is still not forgetting its darling Nexus One which the company used to startup the momentum for Android’s snow ball rolling. Now, when Google announced Nexus S, they also made Gingerbread freely distributed to the open-source shortly after. Now there’s already a custom ROM for Google’s Nexus One. But the Nexus One is not the only handset out there to have an early taste of Gingerbread. HTC’s HD2 is also getting this custom ROM. Surprised?

Yes, that HD2 which runs on Microsoft’s previous ‘failed’ platform Windows Mobile 6.5 can now survive the same Android code, and it works perfectly decent too. However, as early custom ROM culture, you’re still not getting quite a number of features running along. What’s missing? Well, not much. Cameras, GPS receivers, official Google apps, and probably a few more minor stuffs, but not a big deal really.
