Hello, I have an HTC Touch Dual but a Neon300, and y wondering if i can get Andoid on it. I have seen on a Niki and it´s Great.
Thank You...
Nike and Neon look like twins from outside, but have very different hardware, android kernel from Vogue can be modified for work with Neon, but i don't think anyone even tried to do it.

Hi...
Anyone knows what is the deal with TomTom on the Qtek 8500? I have gotten one of those cracked versions available practically everywhere, to see what it looks like, but hey I get the screen wich is smaller then the physical screen plus that everything is blurred...
Anyone any experience ? The version I have downloaded was for the Windows Mobile smartphones, at least that is what it said, Which is by the way identical to the one wich is made for Symbian...
You need at least v5.2 for it to work with the QVGA display. You can download the v5.21 upgrade from tomtom.com. But of course this will overwrite any "patched" version you have...
Thanx mate, going to try that, although the version I am installing it says is 5.20...
Has anyone got a cracked version of TT 5 Mobile for me v5.20 for WM5 based smartphones
Thanx
If I'm not mistaken HTC's Sense UI is build on top of Android 1.5 Cupcake.
It struck me it would be nice to the the HTC UI on top on the new 2.0 Donut build.
I wondered what are the thoughts of the people on this forum on this.
Does anybody think HTC will do this and will they do it for the Hero as well as newer HTC hardware?
If HTC don't do this for the Hero would anybody else be able to? e.g. MoDaCo?
Apologies if some of my comments/questions are a bit naive or uneducated but I'd appreciate your thoughts.
Some correction:
The new Android SDK version is 1.6, not 2.0
1.6's name is Donut, Donut is not 2.0
One would hope that HTC will update the Hero firmware to Android 1.6 and beyond for as long as the hardware can take it.
If not, I'm sure MoDaCo and others will be playing with this...
well at least the next TWO android updates shouldn't be any problem for the hero and i strongly believe that HTC will provide the updates.
I mean they are doing the same with the new WiMo devices: Touch Diamond 2 and Touch Pro 2 will both get official WM 6.5 updates.
I do believe that the latest MoDaco Rom has components from Donut. Not the new features, just some of the performance stuff.
It's almost an impossible task to get Sense running on Donut without it being sourced from HTC. For one, we don't have the kernel source to even make a donut build. Then you have the problem of getting htc's framework to play nice with the updated 1.6 framework. Even if you do get the htc framework (for Hero) to run on top of 1.6, Sense is still built atop 1.5, so it's no like you'll be able to use global search from Rosie, you'd get a bunch of forcecloses on settings and other key places.
We'll just have to wait for htc to either release 1.6 sense for Hero or use Tattoo's 1.6 sense and port it to Hero, by the way, anybody have a dump yet?

Thanks for the correction.
And thanks everyone for your thoughts - I'd be excited to see HTC bring 1.6 to the hero.
Well afer seeing this link:
http://www.htcheroblog.com/2009/09/25/sprint’s-htc-hero-to-launch-with-android-1-6/
which says that Sprint's Hero will already have Android 1.6, obviously running similar (if not the same) Sense UI, I don't see why it should take too long for us European Hero owners to have Sense UI smoothly running on the new 1.6 firmware. I am quite hopeful.
Tattoo is what you're looking for. It's a brighter version of Hero (grey instead of black) but has the widgets and overall appeal. Supports native QVGA resolution. Built on Donut from the start.
I'd like to figure out how to get it on a plain Donut build though.

There is already tattoo bootable port for hero youd have to unodex the whole build and port particular parts to 1.6 or change over the whole framework.apk after unodex'ing to support our 160dpi LCD screens over the tattoos 120dpi screen
gimme a second ill grab the link for this guys thread that ported tattoo for hero the rapidshare links are on page two youll have to fastboot his build its not just an update.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=564984
hes already got it going on the hero im working on mytouch(magic) and Dream right now

I have a Kaiser and have Tattoo working just fine. I think it came from the Sapphire threads. Then I have 120 dpi on a QVGA screen as well. Still, I ran it at Hero's resolution and the only thing I could see was that the images were not scaled but it functioned correctly (like the slider bar was cutting off the Phone button on the home screen) so that should be easy to fix. I don't know what you mean about unodexing as I believe that they either don't need it or at the least you can just sign the file back once you've swapped images.
I'd like to know what dependencies it has with the fun of tweaking Hero is rolling over to Tattoo. I'd like SenseUI on a bare Donut to make it a little more stable.
yeah without a doubt we'll be seeing 1.6 + sense in the near future.
the android 1.6 demo suggests that android cupcake doesnt support cdma, donut will. so for the sprint hero to run at all they'll need donut.
hopefully we'll see the donut come out of the oven in the near future
I've got nothing but failed attempts at getting Hero on Cupcake and Tattoo on Donut native ROMs. Maybe someone more experienced can figure out the dependency hell involved. I don't have a MyTouch but I know my way around the ROMs. The only thing you should need is the /system folder from Tattoo and mod boot.img's init script. Or are you having issues getting Donut to run at all?
twittter
if you subsribe to htc on twitter, they usually send out updates, and from what i have been getting we will be gettign 1.6 for sure on the hero.. they just wont give us a when!
WM 6.5 upgrade for my HTC Touch Dual NEON 300
Has anyone got this to work? I am keen to try it on my NEON300.
Is the Neon 200 and Neon 300 the same/similar device like the Niki100/200/300 are?
DT
If someone could pleaseeeeeeeeee let us know on how to upgrade from wm6.1 to wm6.5 it would be greatly appreciated. I have the HTC Touch Dual.
Also, what is the difference between a NEON or NIKI or whatever, I'm not sure how to tell which phone is which, and i'd like to know which one I have.
My model on the back of the battery is: BTR5310B

Hey guys, i been recently offer a deal on craiglist about trading my htc hd2 for the htc g2.
I was wondering if this is a great deal.
I hate WM, and i am currently running android on my htc hd2. The problem is that its taking too much battery to run it. I like the idea of having a keyboard, yet swype seems a better choice to type in. The screen is much larger on the htc hd2, but hey i don't really need that big of a screen.
Help can't decide.
What are your cons and pros about this?
Thank you
I would stick to the HD2.
- The battery life is depending on which Andriod build you use. My battery last for about 30 hours without recharging.
- NAND install for Andriod is coming really close
- WM aint that bad. The Sence build of HTC makes it all good. Specially when you use a nice and shiny ROM of Miri and Dinik which will be updates with CHT2.0 soon and new skins.
- Swype comes with WM and Andriod, I trully like the touch screen more then a solid keyboard.
- There isnt a phone with better/ much better hardware specs then the HD2
- There isnt a phone with more capabilities then the HD2 (7 OS ports (wm6.x.x, WP7, Meego, Andriod, unbuntu, Win95, Win98, etc), fully changable ROMS, no fabrication limitations)
My conclusion is that there isnt a better phone then the HD2 at the moment. Maybe next year there will be some new phones which will be better. I'm curious about the dual screen mobiles which supports 3D. But how it will work and what the experience of those will be .. i have no clue

I personally believe that it is highly unlikely as the mimimum requirements for Windows Phone 7 are the following:
ARM v7 "Cortex/Scorpion" – Snapdragon QSD8X50, MSM7X30, and MSM8X55
Capacitive, 4-point multi-touch screen with WVGA (480x800) resolution
DirectX9 rendering-capable GPU
The HTC Legend does not meet any of the criteria and Microsoft does not support most of the hardware in the Legend so I think it's a no go :/

Nothing has been ported to any other phone yet either, so the Legend is even less likely. The Desire HD has loads more developers and is similar to the HD7, but nobody has found a way yet. It would be like someone porting iOS to an Android phone as it is locked down in the same respect.
If you want a windows phone buy a windows phone
