hello,
I have a doubt that I would like a reply here. I am thinking of buying a HTC 7 PRO or HTC Titan. I know they're two completely different phones, but my question has more to do with the updates. It is anticipated that when updates come out the HTC PRO 7 will be entitled to them? if not is likely to appear here on xda?
Greetings
Which updates do you mean exactly?
like the tango update, or the windows phone 8 ...
I am search because i am divide by android too

Hello sker100
Tango update will arrive this month to all WP equipments.
Regarding WP8 there is no information yet...HTC Titan probably will have that update, like Lumia 900...but it's not a certain yet
Thanks,
Santos
I would go for the Titan
The Titan was recently unlocked by the DFT team and the first custom ROM has been released.
By this I emphasize 1st. I'm running it and I know that soon there will be other custom ROMs popping up. A new one just today Dynamics!
The Titan is Fully unlocked whereas I don't believe the 7 has been yet. Believe me, you will not enjoy it fully unless it is fully unlocked.
Hope this helps,
Grenadez

I'm agree.
After DFT Fully-Unlocked the Titan , I don't think any phone (yet) can compete this phone.

As far as I'm aware Froyo 2.2 has only been officially released for Google's own phone (the Nexus One). However they should be releasing the source code for Froyo soon.
The HTC Hero current runs on Android 1.6 although HTC may release an update (most likely for 2.1) in the near future. Unofficially ROM developers may release Froyo as soon as they can create a stable version for the Hero.
So in answer to your question in short - no.

Umm, I just got my hero and it is running 2.1! I'm not sure, but maybe you missed the official release?

For sprint...what i'm not, but just goto your carrier website and device support for download if you don't have it. Keep in mind latest update will not allow root - you can root by re-flashing back to an earlier build without any problems.
As for 2.2 - official release from sprint for hero will take awhile. We will most likely see a fully functional port before then. There is already a port of 2.2 available in the forums - but a lot is missing such as speaker, mic, and gps!

Once HTC gets Sense UI figured out for 2.2, I'm sure it won't be long before ROMs are ported over. I highly doubt the Hero will get an official release, but HTC is not stupid. They'll know that people will expect Sense UI on their new devices, and they know that new devices will start to ship with Froyo.

No offense, but keep dreaming. They're having a painful enough of a time getting 1.6 on the HD2, your handset is far too old

And you expect an Android build of 1.5 which still won't work with wifi or sound to suddenly have everything working with 2.2?
Sorry, it's not going to happen, the Artemis is simply too old and doesn't have a large enough userbase.

Indeed, you will have to buy a new smartphone. This is the nature of technology. Even the EVO will be obsolete within a few years time.

Years? More like months, consumer tech moves on so quickly the evo will be old hat in 6 months time.
Still a few minor bugs with the Eris Froyo ROM, but it is sweet!

Hi everybody,
I was looking around for some informations about getting wm7 for HTC HD2, but I found many results, some of them said that it will, some said not. So, do You know if there will be official update to WM7? If not - will be there any non-official ROMs? I've heard that someone already did it, but I don't know anything more about it.
Thanks
as far as i read there no wp7 for hd2 but its will ported in time by the community here
take a look in the windows phone 7 development forum. Da_G and a few others are actively working ok windows phone 7 with a couple of leak builds.
The other build you saw was never confirmed by the community.

Maybe. It really depends on how compelling the unique features are in wp7 as to whether anyone will feel compelled to work on porting it to the HD2.
I've heard that someone already did it, but I don't know anything more about it.

Someone apparently faked a video at one time showing wp7 ported to an HD2. I think they used the remote desktop app to remote to a PC running some kind of wp7 emulator.
I don't have any links to any of this information. This is just stuff I read somewhere, at sometime but I would imagine you could find the sources if you did a search using the correct search criteria. You know, stuff like "WP7 HD2 faked" and stuff like that.
I 99% sure people will attempt to port window mobile 7 to the HD2.
How successful they'll be will be is uncertain.
That's a pity that HD2 won't get official update. I like this device, and I'm happy owner of it, but personally I think that WM is restriction for this mobile. Somewere it's ugly, and slows down terribly...
This is one question I can not seem to find a word on. Microsoft said they would work a 7.8 update around the time WP8 will start to ship.
However where will 7.8 officially come from.....
Microsoft? HTC? or Mobile Company?
Has anything been said, leaked????

It was originally leaked at a polish blog, but it wasn't brought out,
dotcompt brought it out, but within 10 hours it was deleted by xda mods,, but developers/cookers have cooked roms and brought them out... This wasn't stoppable anymore by xda. I was the first one to port it to the radar

Just waiting for wp 7.8
I guess HTC will update it in Zune whenever 7.8 is available
Im usually never an early adopter on a phone, let alone a new OS. Are we likely to see any custom ROMs for the 920? I havent seen any for any Windows 8 Phones yet. Im guessing this is just because its still a month old OS?

hmm. my opinion...doubtful. maybe the other windows phone like htc 8x will. i had the nokia 900 before but returned it because it lacked development. i guess its too early to tell since its fairly new. that is why im still waiting a lil longer before opting to get the note2. i want to switch to a windows phone since im planning to get a windows hybrid laptop/tablet that will pair nicely with a windows phone device. anywayz, doubtful is just my opinion, and i hope i will be proven wrong.

I would think, one of if not THE most popular Windows 8 phone so far, would get a lot of attention of custom dev type people. But so far, it appears not. Is it that Nokia phones are just too hard to deal with so they stick with HTC, Samsung?
Looking at the Dev page for the 920 and theres not much activity at all. Love the phone and the OS, but custom stuff just really makes it so much better. Especially when you have a hard headed company like MS, that keeps many things on lock down, its always been nice in the past to have Custom Roms and apps that require unlock.
I never had a Lumia 900, but I just saw that that has never had custom ROMs because the security was never broken on it and never will be. Sad to say that it will probably be the same with the 920.
If Nokia knows, and I imagine they do, that they were able to make the 900 so secure that the devs here couldnt crack it, theyll just carry the same security over to any other phones they push out.
So I guess that pretty much answers my question. Most likely, we will not be seeing any Custom ROMs or hacks for our 920's
I actually would assume that it would be much harder to get Custom ROMs on any WP8 device then it was on WP7. Given that WP8 now uses secure boot which verifies signatures on the bootloader and kernel every time they load to ensure that no malware was deployed to the device. In the end this most likely means that any CustomROM would be identified as well and the device would simply reject to start it (and that is assuming we find a way to at least get the ROM on there). WP8 most likely is the best protected Mobile OS in that regard.
Actually, these guys seem to have hacked the boot-loader successfully

At least, as far as I can tell from Vietnamese to English Google Translation.

Hello there
I'm an Android user, and I like switching between many ROMs, manipulating a bit (even if I don't know much).
But a friend of mine has a HTC Titan, and I was wondering what could we do about those phones. I mean, can we change to custom ROMs ? Are there as many as there is on droids, is it as easy (or kind of) as Androids, or is it dangerous, are there any risks, etc. What are the possibilities ?
Thank you in advance for your answer

The simple answer here is...No! There are three variants of the Titan; the first one was a coon's age ago and the last two might as well be from different planets. The "Eternity" variant is the one you want; the "Radiance" variant is a lesson in futility as are all future Windows Phones. In an earlier life the Windows Mobile 6.x platform could be customized in every way Android is today. Windows Phone 7 comes along and the braintrust at every carrier and Microsoft decided to make life hard for us who enjoy customizing our phones and you'd think common sense would win the day...oh no...despite a 3.1% marketshare and royally pissing off every WP7 phone owner along the way they continue to lock these phones down and as more than a few Lumia 920 (WP8) owners will tell you the latest update now won't allow them to edit their mobile data speed and most are now stuck on LTE and what do we know about LTE boys and girls....one, not everybody has it; two, a lot of folks don't have it; and three, you can't edit the device to HSPA+, 3G or 2G as we Eternity variant Titans can. To answer your question head on - The Titan II cannot be tinkered with and no device since can on WP7 or WP8 platforms. Prior to Titan II...you bet; the HTC HD2 is the device you want for tinkering on any platform known to man; one look at its XDA main page will tell you its your device of choice for customized flashing of any ROM on any platform and it is extremely doubtful there will be another device like it ever made again, but one can wish...hopelessly. All that said, I love my Titan I, the Eternity. There are multiple level of locks...there's Interop, Developer and HSPL and you need all of them to play. It is not for the faint of heart, this is not Android....I can tell you I successfully HSPL my phones but I can also tell you I was scared to death I bricked them too, but there is a world of difference between a WP phone you can install your own apps like the Windows Mobile days or be so locked down there's no joy in any of it. Today, I'm on the fence as to whether to remain with Windows Phone despite what appears they finally got right with WP8 but I'm sick of this attitude that our devices have to be locked down that you're left to their whims not your own. One look at the WP pages will tell you development is little compared to Android. I ordered my wife's HTC One from HTC for $649.99, the 64GB Developer Edition and the next thing I did was install Launcher 8. Yes, under the hood it's different but it made for easy navigation of apps. I expect someone on Android is going to create a "live" tile for a WP8 skin of Android and likely I'm gone from WP. I'm not aware there is any further development going on over at WP7.8; there is some rumor that across the pond there is to be a WP7.9 release but as to what that is likely to entail; I don't know. Rumor is begging for a better bluetooth interface which is sorely missed even on WP8...what were they thinking? If you use Skype, it doesn't run in background on WP7.x. It's a mix bag...I love the platform, I'm sick of how the powers that be have really ruined it for us who enjoy it for what it is...different and I'm not kidding when I say this, it runs as smooth as butter; I simply do not understand the brain trust behind it and why they made it so damn hard for those of us who have been loyal to them for years.
Well said, even a rooted titan with a custom rom is not in the same league as a HD2 running WM.... its a real same those days have gone!

Or an HD2 running WP7.8 or as I am currently the NexusHD which I'm about to update to NativeSD with his most recent release. I am so fet up with all the obstacles that Windows Phone owners have had to put up with and even if you are HSPL and Developer and Interop Unlocked there are still obstacles and Android there is none and I simply don't understand the logic of what Microsoft and carriers are trying to accomplish; you'd think they'd welcome what contributors at XDA have done and maybe flashing my Titan today is a good example trying to setup Straight Talk with MMS, make Bing Map and Windows Phone Marketplace play nice and nope, no can do! Android? No problem. Throw my HD2 into the mix and despite only having EDGE; it all works but the bottom line is, you shouldn't have to pay for what you benefit from using W-Fi not mobile data.
Thank you guys for your answers. So I suppose there is no advantage of customisation with Windows Phones ^^
Take a look in the Titan ROM development, i,m running Dynamics 2.0 by ultrashot.... best ROM in my opinion. I edited the registry so it thinks its a Nokia, this way I get all the nokia apps. Read the thread to get a good idea of what a custom ROM gives you. Rumour has it that version 2.2 coming soon so keep an eye out. Rooting the Titan really is risky so read up on it before you take the plunge!
