Has anyone thought about porting the new iphone os to the leo?
is it at all possible?
just a thought?
No and no.
You can install an Android build that looks similar enough if you'd like. Look for MIUI builds in the Android section.
Would you really want to? iOS is getting a bit like Symbian,Outdated,Anyway apple put so much stuff into there firmware to stop people hacking into it,it near impossible so no
Why?......
I'd only want it for the games, but android is growing.
It would be good to have another games/apps platform but I would feel dirty allowing iOS on my device. And I dont think I could ever forgive myself for abusing my beloved HD2 like that.
PS. @OP dude at least use search before posting, or even look at the "similar threads" that pops up when writing your title, This has been discussed before on many occasions, if you want to discuss it further reply in those topics.
I'd rather take it over my face.
No no no.
HTC HD2 has been created to kill iPhone and I just can't imagine it running iOS. I Don't mind seeing Symbian or whatever else (Windows 95) but not iOS!
HD2 is an amazing device worth every penny I paid for it and I would never ever want to hurt it with iOS
When people at college say to me 'Why did you not just get an iPhone?' I get the feeling to punch them
+1
I think running IOS on HD2 is a regress

Its the apps and games. seems like the winmo apps are weak and boring. I mean there are a few cool ones but not even close to as many. Don't get me wrong, I love my phone its the best hardware $$ can buy right! I have just been getting bored with the apps I have and the ones available.
thanks for all the feedback.

Actually.....just stick to the themes! Dont punish yourself! (check sig )
I would like to emulate the apps on the HD2, as lets face it, there are some well cool games on it.
i can understand wanting an emulator, just not replacing winmo with iOS. thatd be like putting a geo engine in a race car.

I suppose it's like android on ths hd2. Not to replace winmo but have it as a seperate os. Would be cool to have a triple boot system with winmo, android and ios to try the different apps and games.
I was just wondering if it was possible it would. The hd2 would be the greatest smartphone if it was able to run ios wm and android

Evening all, just a quick hello.
Having been an Android user for almost 2 years I’ve made the leap back to WM. My last WM device being a SEXperia which I loved. My move this time was prompted by a rogue app that dnw/uploaded nearly 4Gb of data in 4 hours.
This time round I’m looking forward not to have to keep checking I’m on the latest ROM as I’m normally a believer of if it’s not broke don’t fix it.
Looking forward to participating when and where I can.
welcome . i upgraded from a touchpro2. this is a much better place
Back to Windows Mobile 6.1? Or 6.5?
Sorry! Was upset about a fight with a friend last night.., and irritated over some wp7 enthusiasts who were hell bent to prove Android sucks.. Anyways , I still hope you come back to Android someday.. and no, I don't have wp7 .. Just saw this on top on the xda app.. Sorry again! !
harshdoshi25 said:
You are a brain-less fool. Nothing else. If you don't know how to prevent an app from using data, then you shouldn't use a smartphone. Use a Nokia. As for Android, which phone you had? Cuz if you had an ICS ROM, then there is an option to monitor data. And it was ur mistake in the first place to install such sucky app. And don't fix if it ain't broke? You mean like Apple is doing? Ur oh so wrong! Nothing is perfect. Yes not even Apple. iPhones multi tasking sucks goats nuts.. There is literally no multi tasking. And, nor is Android perfect..

Thanks for the welcome Doshi and remind me to kick you in the nuts if I see you OK. You know nothing about me yet you kick of with an abusive posting.
I was running a Galaxy S from the Darky and Ficeto stable, and yes I was monitoring data so that I could see who to blame in such a case. And I blame Seesmic 100%, they are looking into my logs.. like hell they are!
Once again thanks for your welcome. I just hope eveyone else under this device heading has some manners.
Cheers for the support link )
@Tai getting to grips with a Titan of course.

I started a Android to titan sticky for just such posts. This one is all ready going down hill. I will not have any bashing of any OS.
Good luck to OP, hope you have fun with your new device

i went to best buy today to exchange for white note.it took me two hours just to exchange because old people buying iphones.they really dont even need a iphone.they need old flip phones.three people front of me bought iphone 4 or 4s.i couldnt tell the diffrenece.it took atleast 45 min to teach them how to use it.
i use to wonder why apple leads in iphone sales.now i know its because of dumb people just want to own a iphone.just to be hippie again.i was so angry waiting for 2 hours just to exchange and watching stupid people using iphone.
Are you serious? People buy iPhones because they are simple and do what people need them to do. Old people buy iPhones because they are simple. Other people buy iPhones because they are SIMPLE.
Apple leads in smartphone sales BECAUSE THE IPHONE IS SIMPLE TO USE. I love my Galaxy Note but I'm not about to try and say that it's easier to use for a NORMAL PERSON.
And if you ask me, you're not too bright either from the looks of your spelling and grammar.
prob. smarter then u.i dont have time to write **** here.lots of other stuff to do instead playing ps3 or something
I can't figure out how you made it up to 82 post without either being banned or at least warned.
As much as I hate Apple and their products I gotta agree. Simplicity is the key ingredient to Apple's success. A counterpoint to this is the fact the simplicity is what you make of it. I promise 5 years from now Android will become the new 'simple' and iProducts will become the new flip-phone.
Think of computers 10 years ago. Out of every 10 people, theres was one that would get called up to hook up a printer or set up a keyboard. That same ratio is now 1 out of 2, because people are educated in the matter.
Oh, and less flame, more actual content.

ah....
When people used to ask me android or iphone i used to say android, obviously. but i got tired of explaining why its better and you know what, for a guy whos not tech savy at all, an iphone will be much eisier to use. i think it would be much better for them to learn how to use android becasue it can do so much more but hey... i dont make any money of more android sales.
i did get my father to make the switch from ios to android, (i sold his 3gs on craigslist for $350, which paid for galaxy s2, accessories, batteries etc. but thats only because i want the best for my father. if others want to be stuck, locked into that riged ios.... be my guest.
sorry for rambling... but in short, yeah ios is so much simpler, you cant say oh i dont like this so ill change it. thats the beauty of it. Severely dumbed down. but thats what alot of people want...
OK, so I have never felt the need to make a pointless thread till now...
I was out at the bar tonight, surrounded by iPhone people....going on and on about how they had one problem or another with whatever random android they had and how suddenly their iPhone solved everything.... And they were saying "oh, our phone is so much faster than yours"
So i made them all download linpack and blew each of them away by double...
Perhaps it doesn't mean much, but it shut them up

Yay, a grid of icons on top of icons! The solution to all of life's mobile phone problems. Oh, and a robotic sounding woman you can have "conversations" with.
The reason why Apple is so successful is because the notion of "choice" is too much for the average person to handle. I understand the lack of common sense and willingness to do a little legwork when purchasing things that most of society has, but having ONE phone and ONE computer is preferable to anyone in the entertainment business than shuffling through the hundreds of Android phones. Especially since they're catering to the society I wrote about. They will know what an iPhone is. They will not know what __insert_stuipd_android_device_name_OEMs_who_don't_understand_how_the_world_works_come_up_with is.

Better to have Iphones than the stupid symbian Nokia phones............
My town is surrounded by Nokia phones and some chinese/indian crap......
Though the problem is that here a basic phone without camera and some basic features costs at 2000-3000 rupees (40$-60$) while the evo 3d was around 49$(contract) in USA and is around 700$ (without contract) in india , I would have purchased so many phones at this cost if that contract thingy would have been available here...

No you wouldn't because they are ,like you said, contracts . That means you can only get a device at that price once every two years once the contract ends.
The reason so many more people appear to have iphones is Apple advertises everywhere. People want a brand name they can trust and they all love their ipods for music, so why not get an iPhone. Then the old yoga moms who bought it rave about their new smartphone to all their clueless friends, who tell even more people, until apple phones are owned by every clueless person in the US. Then Apple decides it's time to implement project X, a top secret project that uses siri to take over its users like a parasite and TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!! Well sort of anyway...
Yeah, idk, I just enjoyed it because they all had to admit my 3d blew their iPhone away... And you guys are right, it is brainless... Have you ever seen two iPhones that look different? Nope, they are all set up to be huge app drawers... Idk, I like having a bookmark and a calendar widget.... I like being able to make it my own and not just follow suit....

How incredibly humble of you
Apple has carved an image for itself, and it does it's job very well, and people from all walks of life has iPhones, from trashy people, to incredible smart. Some people just don't care about customisation and are more interested in a complete solution with little fuss. This does not make them brainless.
the main reason i keep seeing these lil girls get iphone is because its a status symbol , ppl think if you have an iphone ur cool or going to get more *****, that phone is plain out boring when its up against a high end android.

How DARE you display objectivity, blasphemer! The iPhone is for the feeble minded and Android for the intellectual elite.
I think people chose iphone forbthe same reason i dont root my phone. Not everyone has hours a day to waste altering these phones or can afford for something to stop working. People say rooting your phone makes it better and faster. How much faster can it get seriously? I mean my epic touch is fully stock with 1000 songs and plenty of pics and videos and sometimes it seems like it selects what i want before i even swipe it. Every other thread on xda seems to ke oh i flashed this rom and my camera stopped working my wifi stopped working my voicemail stopped working im not getting my notifications stuck on htc screen or whatever else can go wrong. Im only 26 but i have a gf and a 1 year old son. Some people cant afford to have dumb **** like that go wrong. I need everything on my phone working all the time. Im not worried about the latest theme and if i was that worried about ics id go by a galaxy nexus.

Cool story? Trust me depending in the Roms the phone actually shows significant performance over the stock . You don't actually spend hours a day switching. Or whatever. Just download follow simple steps and go.
Most times the rom is perfectly working for users. Just some people don't read the change logs on what works or not.
And I have-not seen that many oh my wifi or whatever is not working threads.
Unless you take advantage of rooting you probably arnt the one to talk about these customization steps, goes for the iPhone users alike.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Alright so after reading this thread which has a slight undertone of hate both ways, here is what I've gathered....
iPhone: For people who want things done for them... They don't want to worry about every detail (big or small) of their phone, don't mind little customization, and follow a 'trend' (if you will). At the same time, everything is easier to use, because it is less complicated and everything is right there. The phone that is already 'set-up'.
Exclude the whole concept of Jailbreaking your iPhone. If you jailbreak it, you are basically making it an Android anyways -_-. Making it Open-source so you can add MODs from Cydia to it for a little more customization and control. Sounds like browsing XDA looking for new things for your phone, hm.
Android: Contrary to the iPhone... For people who want to take control of their phone. In every aspect. Having a phone that really reflects you and shows your personality. Something you can tinker with for endless hours ALWAYS finding something new. You don't mind the 'kinks' of rooting and ROMs, because you like the need to fiddle with your phone. All around, you're more alert to everything going on in that phone of yours. The parts waiting to be perfectly put together.
Don't get me wrong. Android is fully functional. What I meant by the part thing is; everything is ready to go, but it needs a little extra to get it how you want it.
Which one is better....? I personally like Android because of all the things there are to, and the very thin boundaries (if there are any) to what you can't do. However the iPhone offers a very refined experience that isn't anything to scuff at. I do not find the iPhone faster either. There are plenty of tests to show otherwise. It wouldn't be fair to compare a low-end Android so assume I'm talking about the SGS2, Galaxy Nexus, etc. And if there is any difference in visual speed (which isn't totally reliable) it is honestly a hundredth of a second or less. Processor wise Android destroys iOS. Visual smoothness iOS at times over throws Android. Overall they're both good platforms (and I have used both for over 6 months).
Now if more iPhone users could realize that Android is just as good as iOS. Then we could finally get them to shut-up about what their pre-personalized phones can do.

I'd never buy an iPhone, or Apple product, for that matter. That said, had I been one of those people who just lost the linpack challenge, I would promptly have asked you to open your web browser, or home screen and take the lag challenge, to which you would have failed miserably.

Lets not kid ourselves on the 7.8 update folks, as its not going to offer anything more than resizing the tiles.
Now that we have been abandoned, we should demand that HTC/microsoft release the source and unlock the bootloaders so we can flash an OS of our choosing.
I believe that ICS would run smoothly on our radars. If it could be done with HD2, it can be done with the radar.
What do you folks think?
Does ics run smoothly on hd2?

Well, we already have a EOL device at the 6 month Mark, give or take. Microsoft said they didn't want fragmentation like android, but here it comes already. My radar is put back in the box and I'm back to android for functionality. My radar is the LAST WP product I will buy. Look at the poor bastards who jumped on the Lumia 900 just a couple months ago. I'm sorry but Microsoft had to know that all these new devices wouldn't run WP8, but they decided to snow ball their consumers instead of being open and honest.
Now Nokia has all these phones they built that I'm sure people won't buy now with the info just released. Nokia is already hanging by a thread.

@awrnsmn, I totally agree with you. I'm seriously considering selling it. Its shame thought, I love the hardware, and the battery is the best I've seen yet in a smartphone. And the dedicated camera button is superb. But, in the end, we all want functionality so I'm likely gonna list this on ebay.
I'm considering the HTC amaze but I've read mixed things on battery. I'm also looking into the ATrix 2.

I know I said my time was done here but.....well anyway. What bothers me the most about all of this is Microsoft was really on to something with WP, it could of been a fantastic os to rival the big 2, but with the decisions their making they're killing already......sad because I USED to like where they were going with it.
