Believe it or not there are actually a lot of people that don't know this but, if you want to get Windows 7 to recognize your device without having to install SDK or manually installing drivers or you feel like you're just stuck. Go to this site, http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php download and install PDAnet and it will fix your drivers issues !! Just wanted to post a topic about this because I've had quite a few people ask me about getting drivers for HTC to work with Windows 7.
i pulled the driver out of the install for htc sync. it is a zip file posted here: http://www.multiupload.com/C2VKYM1RDH
Note: this is a file to extract on your computer in order to point your windows 7 search for drivers to the correct folder. DO NOT TRY TO FLASH IT
it worked for me. if it doesn't work for you, let me know and i will pull it.
You can also download the driver files from htc http://developer.htc.com/ thats what i use

Yea pretty much just used HTC Sync. Never had an issue on either of my Win7 PCs.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying I myself am having problems with the drivers. Just have had a lot of people ask me about them over time and figured I would tell them about installing PDAnet as a little workaround.
I don't remember ever doing anything except plugging my Eris in and letting Win7 find drivers.

I'm guessing you're the one who recommended that link in another thread, that I thanked you for. I'm a "latest version hound", so I was very happy to find that file at the bottom of the list at that link that has just the very latest HTC drivers alone, no HTC Sync, and that both the ADB and the RNDIS drivers were updated in October or so. Probably won't make any practical difference, but it's nice to be updated.

I work on people's computers for a living, so I install Windows 7, both 32 and 64-bit, quite a lot (several times a week). I believe you. I just have to say that Windows 7 most definitely (not even with SP1, which I'm using) still doesn't include any of the Android drivers.
I don't recall if Windows/Microsoft Update might have the drivers, so that if you have Windows 7 set to look online for drivers it might've found them there. I'm guessing that might've been how your Windows 7 retrieved the drivers. Either that or you didn't realize or remember that you had already installed HTC Sync or something else which included them.
This isn't a flame or anything, so I hope it doesn't appear to be.
I will add that I avoid drivers coming from Microsoft Update except as a last alternative, since they are normally not up to date, and/or crippled versions of the full driver installations from the original manufacturers.

This is all I did, and I did not have to search online for them, I plug my phone into 3 different Win 7 machines regularly.

Maybe we're talking about two different things. If you're only referring to mounting the phone as a USB storage, then I think that'll work without any special drivers; as far as Windows is concerned, it's just another thumb drive.
It's for using ADB or any Windows software which uses ADB that requires the drivers which are not included in Windows 7. Also for tethering, which is a separate driver than the one for ADB. http://developer.htc.com/ at the bottom of the list has an updated zip with drivers dated from October or November. It includes drivers for both ADB and RDNIS (used for tethering) for Windows XP, Vista, and 7; 32 and 64-bit in the cases of Vista and 7. It doesn't include drivers for 64-bit XP, but that should be so much even more rarer now than it was even when before Vista came out.
No idea what all drivers PDANet includes. As an OEM, I always go straight to the manufacturer for drivers. Not always user friendly for the average user, but if you know how to navigate around the different manufacturer's websites, then you always wind up with the most up to date, bug-free and feature-full driver.
Didn't mean for this post to turn in to "who has the better way to get drivers." This was simply a post for a little tip that a lot of people don't know about. No need for everyone to list where they get drivers from and why it's better than installing PDAnet. No offense to some of you, I know you're just stating your opinion. However, this was just a tip for some users who have tried windows update and htc sync and the htc site itself.

I hope you weren't offended by me, either, and I apologize that I continued to lead the thread off topic since I felt strongly about clearing up what drivers Windows does and doesn't include, since I deal with that every day. For the record, I have no issue at all with recommending anything, including installing anything as relatively innocuous as PDANet, to help people, in order to make things easier for people.

thanks to all you guys I was finally able to get adb working on my computer!
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.

Well, it can be used as a secondary display ! You can use it to mirror the screen of windows device over the Android powered tablets . For guide on how to why don't you try seeing the post over by the tech hive it will help you in guidling how can you mirror the Android device screen by using some simple tricks. What you are going to require is an Android application, Android powered tablet running JellyBean or higher version, Window7 or higher version of OS, and both of the devices should be connected to the same network.

Thanks for this information about using android devices as secondary displays. I knew exactly where to come for the best information. I've read elsewhere on the Internet that this can cause the android device to freeze up and other problems, but when executed correctly, it can be quite useful. Does anyone have first-hand experience with this?
Grateful
Before I dive into this I'd like to thank you. The fact that someone like yourself would take time out to help out a dummies like myself. I don't know if any of this applies to a Note 5 or Galaxy Tab A ,but trying to mirror either one of those is a friggin joke,it's like Vegas odd's if it will work!
Hopefully I can help someone
else out down the road.
I've actually stayed away from your site for quite a while. The last time I was on it the person I was trying to get ask a question apparently didn't like my level of "tech intelligence",he scared me,lol. So it's nice to have you answer something that I've been afraid to ask and embarrass myself for long time ,this is really good stuff,
so alot thanks,...jl...
Hi everyone,
First thanks to the XDA community I'm new here, even if I know and use XDA forum for a while, and you have been always so helpful!
So I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9305), actually running CyanogenMod. I have been looking for tuts or help, in order to port the UBUNTU Touch on my device (I'm quite a noob^^), but with no success... :-/ Apparently things are almost completed for the i9300, but nothing for the i9305, which would be quite different if I'm right...
Is there any news, or any projects to port Ubuntu on this device?
I'm not an expert, but I'll be happy to help in any possible way, for porting Ubuntu Touch to i9305. I know this device is popular (like other the S3 models), and I'm also sure this would be useful for a lot of people!
Thx in advance for your answers and your help (and sorry if my english is not so good...)!
Did you find a way for the Galaxy s4 i9500
Hi, here it is about the S3, which porting project seems to be, like for the S4, more or less abandoned... It is sad and I would be pleased to know the reasons, and if it is possible to "restart" at least some of those projects.
Anyone ?
Dont think so bud
Pretty sure very few currently unsupported or older devices will get ports, what few devs are available will work on more relevant devices. Time for a new phone..
Yes, apparently porting projects are mostly abandoned... That's sad I think, according to the still important part of potential adopters (like me ) who still have their "old" flagships, and do not necessarily want to buy a new expensive phone, at this point of the Ubuntu mobile OS evolution.... but maybe I'm the only one thinking that way?

You obviously didn't even try searching for it before you came here, or, if you did search, you didn't put much real effort into finding it. You took the lazy approach and came here to ask instead.

Ok. Rude. I have been looking but the one I have found is only updated to February. I was seeing if anyone had an update that's been updated recently

The tab S3 is an old device, most devices don't get new ROMs at such an age as this device. In fact, very few devices have ongoing development past 2-4 years after the device's release to the market because the developers that owned those devices and were creating development for those devices have moved on to their next device by then and have started developing for their new devices.
I wasn't being rude, my point was, there is quite a bit of development for the Tab S3 here and that it isn't hard to find and isn't hidden under a rock here. Therefore, a simple search of the forum using your device name/model number will easily find any and all threads/ROMs/development pertaining to Tab S3. If you did such a search and didn't find anything that satisfies you then what you are looking for doesn't exist here. If you found the "official" LOS 17.1 ROM thread for tab S3 then you found the most current version, any new updates would be in that thread, there wouldn't be another thread for a different version unless someone has built an "unofficial" version and it probably wouldn't be as well developed as the official version.
If you have, in fact, been looking but haven't found anything better, didn't you even consider that it might be because it doesn't exist? Or did you assume that it "has to be here" but just isn't showing up?
The latter was probably your assumption and you posted your question in the hope that someone else would do the deep digging to find it, if it exists, so you would not have to continue the search yourself. That is, by definition, laziness, hence, the lazy approach.
