Hey!
I was just wondering if there's any chance that the Dell Streak ROM will be ported to the HD2?
Or if there's any chance of getting the same perspective as on a Dell Streak by using another Android ROM but with landscape with the Streak's "taskbar"
Thanks!
Hi,
Its unlikely as the Streak has a fair few different bits of hardware to the HD2, and its taken months to get an Android build from a phone with a similar specification to the HD2 so far.

Oh alright, to bad.
Do you know if there's any alternative method of getting the same kind of interface on the HD2?
What do you mean about different bits of hardware? The Dell Streak have the same Snapdragon processor, and the same resolution. Is it the screen you refer to as different bits of hardware?

Hm instead of 3mL you should put FML...your funny
But we all used to be like that once upon a time
What he's saying, is that the Dell streak has different hardware compared to the sexy HD2! Although the processor may be similar, it's not the SAME. It'll be a model variant. Also, the memory module manufacturer, the touchscreen drivers, and other internal hardware will almost certainly be manufacured by different corporations. That means it'll take longer to make the hardware and drivers to interact etc. And anyways, why the Dell Streak? That's like going a step backward Then again, you have your reasons and wishes in accordance to them Hope I helped!

Ah , I did not think that much about different manufacturers.
Why the streak? Love the taskbar And my mother owns a Nokia N900. So Im quite familiar with landscape use.
And landscape on the giant HD2.. Damn that'll be nice.

Buyer beware, try before buy.
Sure, just like the Folio it might have great hardware (except screen) but I
would not trust.
Every 10" Android has ****ty screen and bad software. They may be able to replace the screen, add $200 to the price and place Honeycomb on it but will
that mean its bugfree ??

We are talking about a new OS on new hardware, most sure that it will have serious bugs. The problem is not the bugs, because most of software have bugs and android is no exception, the problem is that Toshiba is not interested as far as we know to correct it, if they were interested Folio will be working fine by now.
But software development is not only about correcting errors but also about improvement. I don't see any of it from Toshiba until now.
screw the new folio! i'd love to see THIS INSANE GUI ported to our folio

This guys are using a one (with a tegra 2 inside) to powerup a deskop enviroment! This is brilliant!
This sure demonstrate that Folio as enough power to have decent software running in it! To sad that Toshiba doesn't understand this!
And isn't Honeycomb is Froyo!

Than we would be possible to use our folio as desktop by using the dock and connecting to a tv or pc screen

Does this new tablet got a name ?
More rumors here
Who would thrust Toshiba again?
I won't. They don't support their products. Hardware wise they are okay, but what's the purpose of having a tablet if it doesn't work well with the shipped software. We are still waitting for official flash support. Thank God we have FolioMod!
Many manufactures are suffering from this same problems, good hardware but aweful software.
Sure is pretty, but will it be usable?
what is its cpu?
Recently ive been wondering why android is so different compared to windows?
I mean, although android 2.2, 2.3, (2.4) is out and running, only a small percentage of the phones actually got the upgrade, and most of em are still running 2.1 or lower for the time being, so what is the point in having a new firmware available if you cant run it on your phone anyway ?
Android is just a firmware right ? So why cant it be like windows, when there is a new version, no matter what specs or brand of PC, you just install and your up and running... And phones are just like small computers right ?
So why doenst google make android just as compatible as windows, and as soon as a new version comes out, we just install it and were good to go ? I know this is sort or less the whole point of it being open source, but there has to be a solution to this.
This would actually make so much more sense than it is right now! I know all phone-brands want to add there personal touch to there android phones like SE did with timescape and mediascape etc, but its all just based on the same firmware right ? So why cant these things like timescape and mediascape be seen like an update ? rather than fully integrated in the firmware ?
In my opinion, phone brands should go back to what they are actually good at.. manufacturing phones, and google should go back to what they are good at, designing new android versions, this shouldn't be the other way around.
Could one of you pls explain this to me ?
As a master student in economics, IF android could actually be compared like windows as I just explained, this would only have positive effects on the android/phone market, instead of all these angry and disappointed customers...

this threat is what made me write this, it is clear we are not the only ones stuck with 2.1 (but the gods at XDA are doing their best to fix this!)
I understand your point. My take on it is about the fragmentation. I'm not commenting whether it is good or not, but here's what I think. Windows machine have a much higher memory where they can store drivers, settings, etc. Just Windows XP alone took approx 6GB? I don't think phones can have that much internal memory at the moment. Also, PC's have interfaces where everything comes out to the correct machine language (PCI, SATA, etc) While these lacks on phones. They have different architectures and peripherals that supports only that architecture. Therefore, to keep it lightweight, it is the manufacturer's responsibility that if they are using OS such as Android, that the OS works with their hardware, while on PC, it's more hardware to work with the OS.
I'm sure if there's a universal hardware interface for mobile devices and enough internal memory, your wish will come true

I understand what you are saying, but then again, why dont we just manufacture android phones based on the same architecture ? So they will all be compatible with every version of android ?
If this could be accomplished in some way, manufacturers wont have to deal with the lack of compatibility of newer versions anymore, and every phone will run optimal with any given firmware.
Android is at the same development stage as windows when it was win.dos, effectively; the future development was not foreseen. The aggressive marketing by ms changed that, obviously, but pcs from that era are hopelessly outdated. Mobile manufacturers are keeping up with Google rather than being dictated to by them. Eventually, a physical threshold will result in Android updates being software instead of hardware.
I think...
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
android is a fairly new n young operating system... its hardly 2 yrs old....
give it time... the way its goin now it headed in the right direction (same as windows)... compatibility issues will be sorted as time progresses... bare in mind that android devices span vast array of price ranges (and thus diff hardware as suited for that price) so compatibility will be an issue which will be sorted out in time...

The problem is there's too many architecture to go for. A universal architecture means we're eliminating many companies. For example, say we choose snapdragon as our universal. That means ARM, NVIDIA, will all be taken out the competition. Of course ARM cannot build a microcontroller based on snapdragon's design either, this is due to licensing and such. I'm sure manufacturer wants something like you said, it will be much easier to manage, but chip makers are doing things their own way. Also, you have to consider how much new technology is being introduced to phones in just one year. It is massive. Even if phones have the same architecture, the problem that comes about is the memory size to store all the drivers. Either way, it will have to go through the manufacturer to strip it out, which would be back to where we start again. So it will not work out anytime soon...However I did heard Google is aiming to make a flexible Android where it can do something like you said, but looking at the hardware change, it's impossible for now
FWIW - I think that it's more to do with USP's - Each manufacturer could, quickly and fairly easily just bung stock android onto their hardware, and therefore make it extremely easy for us all to upgrade to the latest OS.. but they think.. "hang on, if we do that then all the phones will look and work in the same way.. why would anyone want to buy ours, over xxx competitors phone... no that simply won't do.. we must make our phones special, different and more appealing to XYXY subset of the market... that way we'll sell more phones than our competitors and eventually.. if we're lucky, we might just compete with Apple"..
Or something along those lines!

i wonder if WP 8 will be installable on current lumia 1st gen.
i read some thread who's talkin about but well if hardware are missing for WP 8 feature we can run WP 8 without using those feature... like NFC and others
So why it can't really be possible, due to bootloader restriction ? kernel ?
I'm not programmer that's why my question seems like "newbie"
I'm forgine me about my english ..

First: I'm not an IT expert so there might be some mistakes in the following Explanation.
The first thing we have to consider is the architecture. As you may know there are different processors out there. There are the "old-fashioned" computer x84 (32bit) processors and the now well spread 64bit processors. For mobiles there are ARM processors. When a program is compiled it gets translated into certain codes that are executed by the processor (and other hardware like the graphics processor). So every OS has to be programmed, optimized and tested on a range of processor types. There are even differences in different generations of these processors with different capabilities. I don't really think that matters to the WP8 portability, as far as I know only the performance would be different.
However WP8 also has a different kernel. Windows Phone 7 is based on WinCE and Windows Phone 8 will have the same "foundation" as the Windows 8 products. This presents us with the first problem. Every phone has "custom" peripherals by the OEM: the camera, the speakers and microphone, WLAN chips, BT hardware, etc.. This hardware is different for every device series. A HTC Mozart has a different camera than a HTC Titan, and our Lumias have even another version ( I think you get the point). The Windows Phone operating system doesn't really know how to access all the variations of different peripherals directly. A HTC camera is controlled in a different way than a Lumia camera. This is why the OEMs (Nokia, HTC, Samsung, etc.) have to write drivers and integrate them into their phone software. A driver provides a way for the System to communicate with the hardware. The driver defines a fixed set of functions. For a camera some of the functions could be: "Give me your current status", "What do you currently see", "Set the ISO value to X". So Windows Phone doesn't know how to do the operations directly on the hardware, instead it knows that there is a driver that has the functions to do the desired task. The phone communicates through the driver with the hardware. The way of communication is like a predefined contract and every manufacturer has to implement this contract. However Windows Phone 8 changes some things how drivers are handled (the contract has changed) so the OEMs would have to rewrite their drivers. This is tied to lots of work, ressources, time and money.
(At this point you might ask why the HD2 can run Windows Phone 7. This is because the HD2 hardware is very very similar to the HD7 hardware. So the HD2 can use drivers of the HD7. Also Windows Mobile is based on WinCE as well.)
Another thing is that Windows Phone 8 is speculated to bring a number of security related improvements. These come with restrictions as well. It is possible that some hardware is required to encrypt and decrypt certain stuff. (Now a very speculative part) Windows Phone 8 might also require UEFI. When you turn on your PC the OS has to be loaded somehow. This is most commonly done by the BIOS. The BIOS is saved on a chip on your motherboard and this chip is (more or less) a read only memory [when you open your computer you might see a chip with a shiny PHOENIX or AWARD sticker on it]. It is not always easy to update the BIOS and manipulating it can cause your PC to become unbootable. UEFI is a successor to the BIOS. It (UEFI) implements a wide array of features. For instance it can check signatures and verify the OS integrity to see if someone has manipulated the OS.
These are just my two cents, you can find more (possible) reasons by digging through the various WP7&8 sections here on XDA. Also feel free to ask if something is unclear. It's hard to tell the hardware related reasons that prevent porting because I didn't stumble upon a "Windows Phone 8 hardware requirements"-sheet yet. But I guess security related hardware is the main thing that prevents WP8 from being ported to current generation hardware. On the bootloader/BIOS/UEFI thing, a person with more knowledge about Emmbeded Systems could explain more I guess.

ok hello im really angry about lumia 800 and it's unlock possibilities (dev unl only) i got mine since last year ,how long

posts like that are really gonna motivate them in to working on the lumia 800 :laugh:
I guess its the end of lumia 800, its been 6 months for my 800 and i could just carry on with dev unlock..
And trying to run hombrews which dont need root, not that im sad with the phone, but looking at most other WP phones open to other greater ROMs get me hyped.
Root is something a high end phone like this needs!!
And im sure WP8 cant be ported to the 800, WP7.8 is enough, since there is a lot of changes that we see over the web, including a new lockscreen for WP8 and not wp 7.8.
well right now dllimport project has given us yet another app BluePhoto Beta done by navisluni, so i dont know if any of the devs would like to sit and have a Nth thought of an unlock for 800.
The main problme is the lumia has fallen in hands of youngsters since its a NOKIA phone, young people tend to buy this phone and they have knowledge enough to say that a root is needed to customize this OS a bit, or else its a beauty!
Till now only 710 is the great one, and 800,900 and 610 are left behind.
I just hope there is a universal way to root the device types, because checking some stuff over the web, WP7.8 doesnt implement secure boot in any way...so we still have a free open OS, but to its current restrictions.
All the best to anyone trying for an unlock in anyway..

Greets,
I don''t know where to post this but has any of you been having issues downloading apps from the marketplace?
I noticed that I cannot download any application that are more than 15mb - once it reaches 50% it says "Attention required. Tap Here.". I can download large podcasts just fine but its another story for apps.
Also, I noticed that you can login using a single Windows Live account on two phones (I have a Dell Venue Pro and a Nokia Lumia 800), could this be interfering with the downloads? (BTW I'm trying to download games that are already installed on my Dell to my Lumia - then again I was able to install the apps that have a relatively small file size).

lumia noise
Hi
I got a new lumia 800 about a week ago and I've noticed it makes interference sounds (the same noise one would hear coming from a radio speaker while a mobile getting a call or msg near by) while speaking on the phone or even when just browsing or playing with it. Also when i'm recieving a call or email. It seems strange to me as my old phone never made these sounds. Has anyone experienced this on their lumia?
I wonder if there is something wrong with mine.

Anybody have any experience replacing the glass of the Lumia 710? I just bought my phone off eBay for $100, and although the seller said it was in "like new condition", the screen is pretty scratched up. Normally I'd complain and return it, but I think $100 is still a pretty good deal. I was thinking of buying a new screen + digitizer for like $25, but I'm a little worried about removing mine. Specifically about the part where you have to heat up the LCD screen to remove it from the glass because it's stuck with double-sided tape.
Otherwise, the phone is still in warranty, so would Nokia replace the glass under warranty? or at least at a discounted price from the out of warranty price?
Unlocked my 710.
What roms would you guys recommend? I tried rataplan, but there's no 4g, which I want..

Why wear case and make phone fatter, enjoy as he is without it.

Wow

Hey guys, didn't know where exactly to put this, but imo it fits best here (if not please tell me)
So i thought about fooling around with software and hardware, basicly: getting iOS or win7.8 or win8 on a android device (and i am not talking about some sh** that just looks like it)
As i have no experience in ROMs or anything programming related i just wanted to know if this would be possible?
It would be really awesome as i am very fond of fooling around with hardware devices where you dont expect the software you have xD
Because i heard of some classmate of my cousin who flashed android on his windows-phone (he had some old 6.x version)

Well, it's impossible. iOS needs specific HW, plus both OSes are closed source. You can run Android on iStuff and on WinMob devices (HTC HD2) because Android is open source, you can change everything in it without problems.
iOS and WP aren't open source and you can't modify it.

Right.
the iPhone has its own processor -- the "A6" is used in the iPhone 5 which is based on the ARMv7, but I'm confident it is different enough to effectively make "porting" the iOS to another hardware platform essentially impossible (short of repackaging an iPhone's internals into a different case).
Now Windows Mobile 8 runs on "Qualcomm Snapdragon S4" chips (according to Wikipedia) which seems a bit safer on the hardware end...but then you're looking at trying to get a closed-source operating system to run on a different hardware..
I'd say Windows Mobile 8 is pooooossible, but it's a very very long stretch. And then, is it really worth it? Or just to say that you did it?
I think I'd just stick to Android since they are GIVING us the operating system. It's like free money!
Thanks guys
Well, pitty :/
And yeah...nothing goes over android xD

Apart from the panel everything else is different, so no it's not. Actually the cpu/gpu part is like twice as fast than "AllWinner 31" but whatever..
Having said that it would be trully a shame if it's not to be supported by xda. It's by far the best archos tablet and (by far) the best tablet under $300.
It's one of the few android tablets I would be happy to shell out money for, the part that it is not being supported by XDA is what makes me rethink it...

What difference does it make if it's a 'Platinum' or a 'Titanium'?
Facts are, there were/are VERY FEW devices Archos has ever sold that worked right! And the very few that ever did they screwed up with bad firmware!
Believe it or not, there actually ARE devices that work as good (in some case actually even better) than ANYTHING from Archos.
The reason there is so little support here on xda-developers is simply because ALL Archos devices are set up in a NON-standard way compared to all of the other major manufactures of Android devices. Archos COULD be making some world leading Android devices, but they really do not want to simply because if they ever did that they could not sucker people into buying the NEXT WORTHLESS ARCHOS DEVICE. Archos is actually WORSE than most of the cell phone companies here in the U.S. in that regard.

I know how badly the software sucks which is why i don't buy those tablets, so much more the reason to have custom firmware to fix it. If anything custom firmware matters a lot less in devices like nexus that are already close to impeccable. It's companies like archos that needs the most to be supported by xda *because* their software sucks yet the hardware is decent and it all goes to waste...
AFAIK Archos is the only droid manufacturer that has produced decent 4:3 tablets (which dimension I find ideal for tablet usage) and as it stands it all goes to waste, because of archos bad software *and* xda's zero support to it :-\ , it's a shame trully...
It has an octo-SGX 544...I don't see how anyone who's interested in tablets could possibly pass this thing up. I wish it was possible to install Chrome OS, Ubuntu, or Windows RT on the Platinum because the GPU would be great for those things.
