I need a new phone, im poor lol.. so my choices are a HD2 or a Xperia X10, I love android, and I wanna know if the ROMs on the HD2 are as good as any other ROM for a native Android device.
Or am I better off with the X10?...
Thank u guyz.
Oh and is it hard to install Android on the HD2?
Well got both an X10 and an HD2,
Got an Desire HD Android build on my HD2 and i find it as smooth as on the X10.
Tbh, as you don't need to be root on Android HD2, I find it easier to tweak and you got more answers on the web whatever you are searching for.
So my vote would go to the HD2 + Android, as smooth, better screen, easier to tweak, a better feedback and you can still use the native WM or alternative Rom.
As for the installation, you just need to copy any Android build you want to try on your
MicroSD device and launch this.
Should work perfectly. (Just had to flash my radio because of a robot voice issue)
I'd get an HD2 simply for the development factor, you can get more kernels, ROMs, and builds and fixes.
You also have your choice of any winmo ROM if you want as an added bonus.
Android on HD2 is on par with Android on the X10 IMO, I would much rather have my HD2
You guyz are bomb!!!
Thanks a lot for the help!!!!! =D

Hello
Im new here, so excuse me if i posted in the wrong section.
Im failing at taking a decision between these two
I know that hero has better specs, but ii think that you can mod the G1 more.
is there also alot of hacking and modding aviable for the Hero?
If so, what do you guys think about the hero? Is it really a "hero"?
-Thanks :3

I have both devices, I had my G1 running the Hero 1.5 which was really good, I liked it for having a hardware keyboard which makes it so easy to browse the internet, text and play games like Emulators, but there is a noticable difference between the two speed wise, although there are many G1 roms which really make it very fast (Maybe faster than the Hero?), in terms of modding I would say they are both the same..
Personally I would choose the G1 as it has a keyboard, if you dont want or need that then get the Hero
Get the Dream,... then save up for the Vision!!!!
Lets say the Dell Venue does come out.. as stated
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/gadgetrev...ell-venue-launching-in-korea-this-month/20811
We do get our DVP as notified....
Whats the chance you wonderful Android Chefs out there could cook up an 2.2 Android ROM based on teh Dell Venue, that would work on the Dell Venue Pro, and still let us use our keyboard.. (DLL off Motorola Charm or Droid Pro maybe..?)
Just thinking out loud..
Please lets not start this "i want android" crap! If you want an android phone why not just buy one in the first place?
Maybe because he prefers Android with a Keyboard?
You probably prefer WP7, but Since Dell is releasing the Venue pro with Android there's a good chance the DVP will be able to run it too...
It's still XDA, cooking up roms is the one reason why we're here

Epic 4G, G2, Droid Pro, rumoured Shift 4G - tons of options for android keyboard devices. No need to clutter the forum with the inevitable "WP7 is crap, android is better" BS that is in practically every other forum.
Well,
I'm with you, no need to clutter, but if you're in love with the look of the DVP but need the keyboard, that's the best option you have...
Guess making a sub-forum for this questions makes best for both worlds?
with the consensus android is a nice addition but definitely not needed. I am much happier with wp7
I ask because I LOVE the DVP form factor.. and I have three HUGE issues with WP7.
Tethering.. I HAVE to have a phone that tethers. Keeping two lines (one DVP and one my Dash3G) is BS.
Storage.. Why should I keep a thumb drive around when I have a phone with 8-32GB of storage ?
Customizing some basic things. Like not having all my pictures in the picture hub, ALL my facebook contacts in my People hub.. If I have some videos or pictures of a personal nature I would like a way to hide them from being easily seen in my hub should I want to show some less personal pictures to friends, etc..
That said, I personally am not a fan of Android.. and with my time with HD7 I found that I really like WP7 the 99% of the time I am using if for a phone, or texting, etc..
Personally I am seeing a lot of what WM7 could have been in andriod when it comes to customizations and other features. Heck looke at HTC sense on 6.5.3 and HTC sense on the EVO 4G. They arent that much different, heck if WM6.5 had added more active widgets and such, to a PRODUCTION phone it may not have been given such a bad rep. Look at the 3VO and other cooked ROMS here. A LOT of them are better than iOS or any Andriod I have used, but a lot of those features were never added to a production phone.
I digress.. when it comes to andriod.. the new Netfront UI for andriod looks awesome. There are also a ton of apps that simply arent being done for WP7 yet. So.. Long story short... I like personalizing and customizing my phone. I may get over that with WP7.. I may not. Be great if I had an option to play with a Andriod ROM on my DVP, and then go back to WP7 and so forth. Even be cooler if I had the ability to dual boot. But I doubt highly with the way WP7 deals with the SD cards that would be possible.
In any case not trying to get into a WM6 vs Andriod vs WP7 which is better conversation.. they all have thier pluses and minuses. Just curious if anyone thinks it would be possible to put andriod on a DVP should the need arise.
Or even better.. anyone try putting a WM6.5.3 ROM on a WP7 yet? I havent checked..

Just get an HD2 if you want WM 6.x.

Would that be the one that fits in my hand perfectly.. and has a slide out portrait keyboard.. and a nice vibrant screen.. ? OR the fragile huge phone with no keyboard.
I guess I could get a new tilt2.. but it doesnt have a portait keyboard and a smaller darker screen.
The whole reason for this thread.. is the DVP is a UNIQUE form factor.. and one of the most beautiful phones I have ever owned. If they made it with WM6.5.3 it would be my first choice. But since they don't make it that way.. it would be awesome to have a Energy 6.5.3 Rom for the DVP Personally thats my favorite UI to date.

Agreed.. they are both good in thier own way.
Im starting to like WP7.. its just so different.
As I mentioned, personally I like WM6.5.3 but know I am in the minority there..
I was praying and crossing my fingers the HTC Throphy (The mock up from last year and not the WP7 phone) that would come out before WP7 launched. As that looked to be my ideal phone.
I only started this thread because if the Venue and Venue Pro ar the same hardware, I wouldn't mind trying Android on my DVP (and mybe play witht he Netfront UI and other things) and possibly switching back to WP7.
Although as I mentioned.. I would gladly pay if someone could find a way to boot the Latest WM6.x Energy Rom onto my DVP.. I would be in heaven then.
Engadget Hands-on with the Dell Venue:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/23/dell-venue-launched-in-hong-kong-we-go-hands-on/
Id pay some good money to see android on the dell venue pro. I like windows phone 7 but the OS is still a bit young.. there's certain things I like better on android and no im not trying to cause a debate or argument.. im just sayin, if the dell venue comes out, how hard would it be to make that compatible with the dvp..I love my dvp by the way, especially the slide out keyboard
It would be great if WP7 and Android can be run on Dell Venue and DVP.
Anyone try yet? Or has anyone gotten the ROM off a Dell Venue?
bump, I'd like to see this get done, and I'd pay some good money for it too!
Bump... Just wondering if anyone has rooted the Venue and figured a way to install on the DVP yet..?
I've started a Bounty on Android on the DVP here:

Hi all, I just wanted to make a thread for you, X10 users, to see what phone, what and what OS you use. Comment of what phone and vote in the poll for what OS. Also comment on if you liked it, and its pros and cons compared to an x10 running android.
I'll start:
Previous phones: Look at my sig. N97Mini, really loved it, apart form Symbian was really buggy and had **** apps on the Ovi Store. It was really easy to cook a firmware and edit .sis(x) apps, unlike android, which is really hard to cook a firmware and edit the XML files of an apk. On the N97Mini, it was so easy to type and I went hardout in texting ! but now, the on-screen keyboard ... ew =]

i had a windows mobile 6.1 or 6.5 samsung epix. kinda looked like a blackberry.
Before that, just crappy flip phones.
I had a HP ipaq rw6815 running windows mobile 6.1 cooked ROM from off here can't remember which though, then a blackberry curve 8320 which my brother lost, then a Samsung tocco running the pink ROM different font on it lol upgraded to the rooted SE experia I had it replaced 5 times due to regular faults now an iPhone 4 16g my first apple product but have to say I prefer android to ios, ios seems very clunky imo

I'm onto something, but it's not tested on any TG01. Trying to get hands on one, to test it, if it works, you might have a new ROM and may be a new theme to play with
No promises though!

You never know, maybe there will be another rom release, but its pretty much game over for TG01 since Miro had all his work stolen along with his laptop.
I have moved to android myself, still have the TG01 at the moment, but i guess i will be selling it soon enough.

Why none of You will continue Miro work ? He said His rom was not protected and I guess He would not mind if anybody did it.

Wow, was that a tumble weed just crossed my path?
Just dropped in to see how it's going in here, apparently it's not going anywhere any more.
I know that was a bit of a troll statement but I just can't believe how quiet it is.
Wow, it really is quiet here! Haven't been around for a while!
I still have a TG01 which i will probabley keep... and if there are any new ROMs, themes etc, i can always be a beta tester
I never use my TG01 now; the last time i swithced it on was like 3 weeks ago! I got too many phones now haha!
Will probably need to start selling some!
yoo 5 phones in home :S is driving me crazy but tg01 is allways on at me and ofc sgs2, i use tg01 as main phone and sgs2 as dvd, ubuntu, music player, on my LCD tv and bluetooth mouse

Nice! Wow, you still prefer your tg01 to sgs2????
I tend to use my desire s more than sgs2. I don't mod my sgs2..
I use my desire s as a main phone, because the battery life last me really long! i may consider selling my sgs...

Yea, the sgs2 is to much pimped phone, not really usefull as phone, but i found him a use I have tg01 for longer time then sgs2 and i got used to it, so and i dislike android. My biggest hope is to see wp7 to tg01, but as i see, no can do sir, that's why i am selling the tg01 and buying iphone or Samsung Omnia7.

Yeh hahah it is definitely a lot harder to understand how to mod/flash roms on Android then tg01!
The tg01 was a great device and served me well for 12 months. It also helped me adapt to big screen phones aswell, and a real bargain when I got it!
I still do prefer wm in 1 or 2 aspects to Android though!

The number of apps on android is huge, but the quality of the apps for windows mobile is much more impressive, at least i think so. Android software seems very fragmented, no standards, windows mobile and most of the apps for it are easy to navigate due to the basic interface.
But i feel now for me is the time to move to android, apps are entering the market every day, and they are updated quite often, its a difficult decision to sell my TG01.
dont bother with the iphone there a waste of money and space i suppose the iphone4 aint that bad but i like windows mobile personally because theres so much to personalise and do on them its endless. also android and iphone apps are cheasy and pointless windows mobile is a clear winner. if i was you id go with a htc hd2. android, wp7 and wm6.5 are all available on the hd2. meanwhile keep a tg01 just in case a mirracle happends and we get a exelent clean rom
Miracle i wait but hope is losing slowlly the fack i still have is the wp7 next phone will definetlly have wp7 on it, i had 2 HTC HD2 but i dislike HTC soo badlly, i had for a short period a lot of HTC's first HTC HD2 i got when it got in sale and i had miserable 8-12 hours battery life time with allmost no use at all, screen is a lot worse on HD2 then on tg01 the capacitive screen doesn't mean much to me. I love phones all phones that aren't over-priced... iphone is one of them but i can get one very cheap, i need phone for music i have sgs2 as my app toy and thats more than enough if tg01 had 3,5mm jack i wouldn't sell it never!! Till he is dead or me
yeahh true. and yeahh if the tg01 had a 3.5mm headphone jack that would be quality. to be honnest theres nothing really thats caught my eye yet so im just hanging around with a tg01 with mirom 8cfc rom. just out of interest nikola what rom are you using on your tg01?

True. But now WM is dead there is no more personilization with new apps. I tried almost all wm main apps adwell. When I first got Android I was like wow! Things are similiar here, like HTC sense for android. . I'm always flashing latest versions etc. It's like WM. Only now I don't have to worry about optimizations (FREE RAM, ROM, BUGS ETC) , as sense is built for my desire s. With our tg01 sense roms there were always bugs with every Rom in sense. (E.g-we.never fixed the home button for touuchflo/sense 2.5)
The community also. HTC devices always have the best support here..
I don't really like non HTC android devices.. the roms don't have sensr, so flashing roms are just improvements not much visual or UI changes.
For example. Nikola, your sgs2 Rom, cm7, what real visual benifits do u have over stock? apart from adw launcher?This is why my sgs2 is on stock. The UI is more or less the same.
But on HTC sense, there is always a new version coming up very often, just like the new leaked sense 3.5 Rom.
Android is still a huge leap forward from WM / WP7 imo though

Wow, nice to see you switched!
How much did you sell your TG01 for in the end?

Try WP7, it works fully here, unlike the TG01

hi
i can recommend you 3 roms you should try (wm 6.5)
1. dutty's legacy rom - without cht, fast and most stock like rom
2. hd2O 's rom version 22 - with cht 2, stock like fast rom
3. cracing's rom - different icons, slider from others, cht 2, slightly slower than other two.
there's no best rom. just try all and see which suits you the best. problem is that you cant expect much development for wm any more. also consider wp7 and android, since you have hd2 with you.
regards.
£40 oly and thank you kanish i will have a look around
try Artemis roms
