HTC Runnymede Bliss Sense 3.5 ROM Available For HTC HD2 [Download]

HTC HD2 is perhaps the only smartphone in recent history that has remained undefeated in paradigm of Mobile OS development. The phone surfaced with WinMo 6.5 and then opened its doors for Android, Meego, Ubuntu and Windows Phone 7. Recently a lot of NAND based Android ROMs have emerged for
HD2 that basically allow the users to boot right from the phone’s internal NAND memory decreasing SD Card lags etc.

The phone also boasts of the largest underground Android development community, which is in consistent process of cooking ROMs, developing custom kernels and improvising tweaks / hacks etc. Recently HTC Bliss and Runnymede, two high-tier Android phones, had their system ROMs / RUUs juiced out and now HTC HD2 also has a ROM based on systems dumps of the earlier mentioned phones. Sense 3.5 UI is the unique selling proposition of HTC Bliss and Runnymede phones.
