HTC Radiant (Titan II) Android?? - HTC Titan

Hey guys.
So today I just got my first Windows phone. The HTC Titan II, or as I like to call it - The HTC Radiant.
In other words I am very newbie when I comes to just trying to use a Windows phone (I must admit though, did only take me about 2 minutes to work out the main idea of how it operates), and.. I don't like it.. At all.
Sorry I am ranting a little here.. My question is: Why isn't there / Why hasn't there been an Android port for this phone?
It is a really nice phone, 16mp back camera, large LCD, 4g and an over good feel; kinda seems like a waste to me..
From my little understanding, the internals of this phone are no program for any Cyanogenmod porter?
Thanks in advance!

[Ended] Android on HTC Touch2 [9/8/10] Project Started, Phone Received

Hello
Is it possible to run Android on Touch2?
Nope, it needs the HardSPL first and then a custom android rom cooked just for the touch 2.
If I sound like i know what I'm talking about, I dont, but thats what I've been told so far.

I dont think that you are right! You dont need HardSPL for Android not even to change ROM! You can run Android under windows for many devices just not Mega yet! Check this.

Yup. There is possibility to start the android from Windows Mobile with help of special executable (haret.exe). But it seems this way does not work for Mega yet.
hah, fair point, i did point out that i didnt know what i was talking about

Or maybe just a hoax.
yeah it's definitely a hoax.
I really want android on the mega
I really don't understand you guys...
Why did you bought HTC Touch2, which is with WinMobile OS, when on other side you could buy HTC Tattoo with Android, and with more hardware, and also little cheaper...
And now, you want to put Android to Touch2...
Why didn't you buy android phone...?
I just don't see point...
How about getting WM on the Tattoo?
These two devices seem as similar as it gets.

i could buy the Tatto when i chosed my phone , but i didnt know WTF was Android ... just heard only that it's a new google OS and that's all ... and when heard that if u start posting all the apps for WM u cant stop for years , my choise was done ;]] now Android devices question if they can run WM on their devices and we quest if we can run Android on our devices isn't it cool
WinMo<--->Android fight which is better , but they want to run each other and give it a try ?!

The touch 2 is half the price the Magic and the Hero are.
@secosan
Touch2 is about 10 euros more expensive than Tattoo...
@LtBlue
It is nice to have dual boot (WinMO and Android). I have it on my Diamond.
Only thing is that Android will never get 100% ported to Diamond (or other WinMO device). There is always something missing,... and battery life when using WiFI is very short (approx 2 hours). This and other small bugs (plus frequent Android crashing on Diamond) is turning me from android on Diamond...
There is android topic in Diamond forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402002 with more than 6000 replies, and more than 1,600,000 views, but solution for 100% port of Android to Diamond is not yet found.
Honestly, I think it will never will be made... More likely, everyone who desperately want Android on Diamond, will buy Android device, like me... (still need money for that)
Well, I just wanna say to you all: Don't give up with android on Touch2, but most likely it will never work as it work on native Android device.
If you are desperately in need on Android device, then buy one...
And have in mind, that you will get more hardware with Android phone, and it will be cheaper than WinMO device in same rang.
Hope I helped a little...

[Q] Is it posible to have another OS?

its possible to install another OS on my x10 mini like S60 5^ or 3^

Why would you want to do such an awful thing? our x10s have feelings, you know? don't take android away from them!
I can't understand why you buyed this phone if you didn't like its OS...........Don't talk silly........if you don't like it pls simply switch to another phone!!!!
I think out if curiosity i'd love to see this question answered... although i can't imagin abandoning the A-OS for anything currently available
P.s. this is only my "OPINION" but currently;
Technically; possible, our hardware meets the basic specs.
Physically; highly improbable due to a currently unhackable bootloader
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
Just corious beacuse S60 was easier and i love sony ericsson thats why i got this one
its cute but i feel its to hard to do some stuff.
*SPOILERS*
Hi i had an sony ericsson w600 when was younger; 14 or 15 though
i love it especially the VideoDJ app then i got a nokia 5800 when i was 17
i loved that phone was awesome and so cuztumizable was currently running C6 Firmware on it but the maid stole it i know the other one told me she has
NVM.
my dad was asking me if i wanted a new cellphone i told no dad idk really liked my nokia there was much stuff on it like: Feelings, Adventures, goodf time. and software related stuff also.
then i lost the hope of finding it and blocked it with a remote code
And i looked at a little pretty cellphone on a shelf and it remind me my old W600
i though oh that one would be nie so i got it.
*END*
dont missunderstand me i like my cellphone but is just that i miss stuff that i was able to do on my 5800 as well as video and photo edition tools that were present on w600
You Could... providing someone develops a working HAL so the software could communicate with the hardware!
Unfortunately, this doesn't exist and it is such a big job that manufacturers won't do it as they only seem to focus on one OS per device at a time (And then neglect to update it - No 2.2 for me)
So basically, whilst is is possible it is very improbable (Notice that I never said never!) LOL
Dude, have you ever launched the android market? Do you know how many photo and video apps you can find there?
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
Bro I did but those app are too buggy also internet is very slow I think bcause I cant get 3G (same data plan on other phone works fine)
Also I cant pause video recording wich is usefull 4 square by square animation.
And sorry I cant just dish my phone and buy a ndw one congratulations for those who can.
Can somebody point me to specific apps or rom
That could fill my needs
And deano thanks for the ROMS are wonderfull but im still being a newb
I think you didn't check out the right apps. I'm sure you'll find the right applications for you in there : there are close to 300000 applications in the market. For editing pictures, you have Photoshop express and hundreds more, for videos you have a whole bunch. If you can't get your 3G working, you should check with someone from your mobile company to configure your phone right : 3G works fine with the mini.
Finally, if you don't like this phone, you can sell it on eBay at a good price. Also, sorry to tell you this, but nowadays you'll find this same OS (Android) on most SE phones, Motorolla, LG, HTC, Samsung, etc... So you better get used to using it, unless you want to buy yourself an iPhone or a BlackBerry.
or just stick with Nokia.. good old Symbian (the reason I switched to SE from Nokia was because I wanted Android and Nokia refuses to see the light)
Why anyone would choose Symbian over Android is beyond my understanding.. but each to his own I guess.
Naaah im loving it nao but i need some guidance with root explorer
i mean if i rename an app as bak it will work on background but not all of them so waht can i do for hidng apps and they will fully function

[Q] Windows Phone 7 [Mango] ROM for Galaxy SII

Hello,
Some of you, or many, might have or might have not looked for a Windows Phone 7 Mango ROM for the Samsung Galaxy SII. I know I have.
However, to no avail, Google had failed me in my searches, and I couldn't find any, or maybe I've just failed. Also, I had a look around the forum, and again, there was no such luck. My guess ? Probably because there are none.
If that is the case, and developer working on such a ROM for the Galaxy SII ?Or, even, is there one already that is hiding from me, and from many others for that matter ?
never gonna happen, as its Closed source
Your post does beg a few questions...
Why not just go for a windows phone itself than such a ROM?
i am honestly refraining from saying something rude here...
If you are looking for a look and feel then here's some post on a theme
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288324
Please bear in mind that smartphones so far are more near to apple desktop/laptops than PC...
they can run OS from only one platform....
Not going to happen unless samsung put out a windows phone with similar hardware to the sgs2, and as wp7 has a very limited hardware spec which doesn't include the soc used in the sgs2 I don't see it happening anytime soon.

I usually express the same when people buy an Apple and would like to install Windows on it. Why not just get a laptop from the beginning ?
Anyhow, that's not the point. I've had my share of Windows phones [mobiles]. I first used a Windows Mobile 6.1 pro on my Samsung Omnia back in 2008. But, I didn't remain loyal to it. I am happy with my Android.
The point, is, or was, such as the HTC HD2, that is shipped with Windows Mobile 6.5, and can run Android, and also Windows Phone 7 [Mago too], thought maybe it could happen with the Galaxy SII.
It is not, however, going for a Windows Phone, but, it'd be nice trying it out without buying one. Not just the look and feel, sir.

That's because the HD2 has the same specs as the Desire HD (android) and HD7 (WP7)...

And microsoft were testing wp7 on hd2. In sure that's where the first rom came from. And that's why no other phones have had wp7 ports.

Just got a lumia 800

Right, never owned a windows mobile in my life, Im an android person, but Ive just bought a nokia lumia 800. The phone is a few months old but its in decent condition for its age. What can i do with this phone OR do to it (without screwing it up). I know the lumia 710 can be jailbroken (hate that terminology, jailbreaking is for ios devices). can the same be acheived with the lumia 800?? I guess i should do a search. Easy to do or a ball ache? Im still going to stick with my htc sensation but its handy to know this stuff and where better place to find the experts than on xda forums :highfive:
Any help and advice will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance
Edit.................Ive just found what Im looking for thanks
Please can a mod lock or delete this post. Thanks
you sure are a Droid boy. "Windows Mobile" lol
starting
hi nice to see another lumia fan well it goes somthing like this
if your lumia has a qualcomm bootloader your free to install the custom rom in the dev thread on here but as i have found your phone might be on 7.35.0.0 and come up as qualcomm device but if you dont have access to the nand (in windows it would come up as a flash disc) then your pretty much stuck with stock roms and stock apps untill the dload bootloader is cracked. have a read in the dev forum there quite bit of info to get you started

Yes, no better mobile phone operating system in my book. I couldnt turn down the chance of the lumia because it was cheap. And a change is as good as a rest so the saying goes

Tip for when you need the phone to last longer (like weekend visits etc.)
Sync and mobile data is a huge battey drain. Disable mobile data and it the phone will last for days.
My advice is go slow..
With Android, most of the stock google applications like gmail were garbage so you had to go to the marketplace to find better versions.
Also, you have to root Android phones to get rid of crapware installed by carriers.
With WP7 and the Lumia..
Like iPhone, all the stock applications are excellent quality. The Mail program for instance is second to none; I don't even have any supplemental programs to it..
Also, while the Lumia will come with carrier crapware, you have probably already found out you can simply longpress and delete these with out jailbreaking or rooting. I understand this was a rule Microsoft imposed on all carrier programs to create another selling point for WP7..
So the only reason you would need to unlock would be to install homebrew applications, custom roms, or simply dicker around with the phone. All of which are fun to do but unnecessary.
In short, I found with Android (I had a Samsung Vibrant), you HAVE to unlock and Root just to have a good quality system. With WP7, you don't - the phone is good out of the gate and you only need to Root & jailbreak to do some higher level experimenting.
Good luck - hope you enjoy the phone!
What should I do?

Hello,
I have some carrier crapware into my Lumia 800 - it doesn`t let me to use another SIM card but the provider`s (it`s locked on Bouygues Telecom - France) And I was wondering if a NOOB`s guide to interop unlock my phone exists. Thanks.
Android convert
My first visit to the lumia 800 forums and I am in the same boat as the op.
I've been an android fanboy for several years (htc desire, samsung galaxy s, htc sensation, htc one x, acer iconica a500) and have found myself obsessed to the point of addiction. Yesterday, I bit the bullitt, put my one x on e-bay and ordered a network un-locked lumia 800 to be delivered today.
I would like advice on how to unlock the full potential of my device and will be reading this forum very carefully before I do anything risky but, before I start, could somebody possibly advise as to wether there is anything that is important to address before and during my initial set-up?
Hopefully I will not become too obsessed with my new venture and any informed advice would be much appreciated to a windows phone noob
ps Had a windows mobile 6.5 device a few years ago
Ive left the Lumia 800 as it is. I wanted to jailbreak it as I wanted to install a specific gps app, which I have on my androids but do you know what?? Nokia Drive is really really very good imo. Im happy with it as it is. The interface took me some getting used to though but thats just me. I will probably end up jailbreaking it in the end as this is what Im like, but for now, its ace

First few hours on the device and loving it. Couldn't sync google contacts which was really bothering me but did an update whilst searching for a solution and the update had solved the problem!
Would love to 'jailbreak' it (like to mess) but, rightly or wrongly, I am getting the impression that it's not possible on this. Any ideas how to do this? Is it like root access.
It's all very different to android but makes a great change so I think I'll be staying with this little beauty for some time.

android on fortress ???

i have a moto razr maxx but in broken, in the time i buy the lcd, i have a htc fostress that a friend give to me, the window mobile is so slow, and i intalled a custom rom , but is slow, i whant to install android , can i?? and how much dificult is?? is goind to be much faster??? any help on istalling android in my fostress is very good to me, ...sorry my inglish is bad.
I almost infracted you for posting in the wrong section...
I had no idea AT&T called the Rhodium the "Fortress"...
Yes, the Fortress is the Touch Pro2, or the Rhodium. Should be RHOD300 if it's AT&T branded (I'd guess so....)
Have a look at the Android Development section - any of the builds or ROM's should work fine.
