Porting Android from Sensation XL? - HTC Titan

Hello guys,
quick thought, I just read that HTC Sensation XL is pretty much HTC Titan with all HW specs same as our Titan. According to this I would say Titan is the hot candidate to try to port Android on it, no?
But since this is propably known (similarity to Sensation) for longer time and I haven't found any thread about it I just ask general question... What is the main problem with porting Android to WP devices? Is it a bootloader? Or something else?
Thanks for the answer(s)

I am going to close this thread because i started the android to titan thread to try to localise all of these sorts of questions. I dont want any threads bashing either OS (not that it is) but it can easily go that way.
Feel free to ask any other android/titan related questions to that thread.

What's the difference?

Usually I'm really good at figuring things out myself, but I've just gotta ask:
What's the difference between the custom ROMs?
I'm using Fresh right now, but I might as well have spun a wheel and picked at random. I tried browsing each thread, but couldn't find any useful hints as to what it's about. Is it just speed?
I understand that 2.1 is under development and not fully functional, so what is MCR, Fresh, Modaco?
MCR and Modaco are the same MCR = Modaco Custom ROM.
It is just a rom made by Paul O'Brien at http://hero.modaco.com
Really it's another custom ROM, just personal preference dictates which you use. Personally, I use MCR3.0, although there is a beta of 3.1 available for ad-free members of his site, and it will be publicly released when ready.
So the difference between Fresh and Modaco is...?
Fresh is a CDMA Rom, so you'd probably be better off asking this in the CDMA subforum.

You could try and search for yourself, or at least be gratefull for the things Anon and others say
You're not gonna ask here how you're able to flash the motorola droid are you?
Cos the cdma hero is another phone. It has a dedicated subforum and people
who own a gsm hero (the folks over here) can't tell the difference because a CDMA version doesn't work on a GSM hero.
It's easy to blame others for not searching yourself, these people are trying to help. The only thing you want is a list of pro's and con's....
Considering custom roms are made to fit personal needs no one is gonna make a list good enough for you.
Search before you ask

I did! I advised you to ask the question in the subforum for the CDMA Hero, but you decided to ignore that advice.
A little history lesson for you - the Hero forums existed long before the CDMA Hero was released by Sprint. Once Sprint had released their version of the Hero, Sprint users lobbied long and hard for a CDMA subforum (which they've now got). To be honest, the Sprint Hero probably deserved its own set of forums rather than just a subforum, just the Verizon Droid Eris did.
The *reason* that I advised you to go there is because most of the ROM discussions outside of the CDMA subforum is related to the GSM Hero. If you'd flashed MCR 3.1 to your device (as mentioned earlier in this thread), you may well have bricked your device.
Sarcastically saying that "You sure make it easy" when you've been given good advice isn't going to get you very far here!

Dave
Sorry guys. Bad week. Cheers for the guidance.

[Q] Mod/Hacking???

Evening guys and gals...
now im thinking this question may have been asked a lot but i couldnt see a clear answer flicking through the forum.
Ive had my HD2 for a while now and pretty much since the day i got it, it just hasnt impressed me so i want to make it A) more user friendly and B) just look and run better.
My problem here is that unlike the Iphone i had before im not sure where to begin with it. So my question how do i go about modding the phone? Is there a guide on here ive been to blind to see, or perhaps someone can give me some pointers.
Im thinking that unlike the iphone where its just a case of jailbreak it and mod it from the phone the HD2 as it runs windows takes a lot more effort/work?
Thanks in advance for any help given.
Read.....The HTC Leo (HD2) Wiki pages - to learn about the HD2 in all its' glory
Read..... HD2 STICKIES | USEFUL INFO | POSTING RULES - to learn about how to.... what to.... where to.....
Read..... all threads starting [ROM]..... in the HD2 ROM Development thread - then you'll know what other people are doing with their HD2's.
That's a good starting point ...... should take you most of August to get through that little lot and then you should be in good shape to start updating and tweaking your HD2 to behave just how you want it to.....
Hope that helps!!
Mark.
Your my new hero! Cheers buddie

[Q] Is there some way to install Android 2.2 on HD2 main memory and not on SD card?

Hi,im new to this forum and first i would like to apologize if i posted in a wrong place.
Please delete or move this thread to an appropriate place if needed.
Last night i managed to install HTC Desire Android 2.2 on my HD2 and it works perfect!
Unfortunately its working strictly from the SD card so its a bit sluggish.
Is there some way to install Android 2.2 on HD2 main memory and delete Windows Mobile for good?
Thank you!
get the **** out
well i'm half way there at the moment.....

Did i do something to offend you?
Im new to changing roms and i dont know if it is possible to delete Win Mobile and replace it with Android.
And if it is possible please direct me to correct stable rom.
Again thanks!
at the moment the answer is no i'm afraid. people are working on getting droid running from the phone but don't expect a replacement any time soon.
i'd advise you search as there is plenty of info about this
regards
Chris

As Chris said above, it's not possible yet. The devs are hard at work on this as we speak and hopefully it won't be long.
P.S. if you have any more questions on Android on the HD2, please post in the HD2 Android General forum
And welcome to xda

There's no need for that kind of language...it's not tolerated in this forum. While it may be frustrating seeing the same posts over and over, it would be a little more helpful if you were to help the OP and guide him to where he should be looking.
Thank you for answering this.
Im sure its pretty hard to redesign OS like Android to work on device that is not intended to run it.
The guys at XDA are doing a great job!
I apologize for opening another thread about Android.
Is there some news about WinMobile 7?
I heard that MS officially dropped support for HD2.
Will there be custom ROMs based on Win7 for HD2?

Sense rom?

Hello, I know this is a really stupid question and please if you find too stupid delete this thread or report it.
Here goes: Is there a slightest possibility to get a sense rom on the samsung galaxy s2? Since im used to my htc hd2 which runs many roms and Oses.
Thanks in advancE!!
Someone is working on it, search for the thread in the dev section.
No its nowhere near working, its not even booting at the moment.
And it probs wont be usable for a very long time.

[Q] Why the HTC Explorer (Pico) doesn't have a section in XDA?

Hi all!!
Just bought a new phone, a HTC Explorer. It's a very good phone: Small, beautiful, and it has Gingerbread with Sense. I had an HTC Legend and in this forum I found many custom ROMs and answers to my questions. But now I realised that this HTC doesn't have any section in XDA.
Well, maybe it isn't a very popular phone, like the S2, but it's popular (more popular than the HTC Legend, I think)
So why this phone don't have a section here? It would be great if there's any way to create one
