Need advice: other similar forum like xda for Samsung WinMo devices? - Touch HD General

Hello guys
I know its the wrong forum, but I own a blackstone, so this is my home to me I want to ask you if there's a similar forum like this one for the Samsung devices. Cause I saw the Omnia II and I'm very, very interested in it, its a beautiful device for me, it supports native divx and has AMOELD. So, I'm highly impressed. My problem is, that I absolutely love this forum, only with xda is my blackstone how it is.. And I fear that there is nothing similar for Samsung.. Is there any ROM-cooking? Is there such an support? Customizing? Development? If thats not there, I have a serious problem and I think I'll stay with my blackstone. So now the real, final question: is there anything similar for the Omnia devices? Thanks a lot for your answers!! And sorry for posting stuff about other brands but HTC Anyway, HTC rocks!
Greets, cad^^

Lots of good ROMS: how to choose?

Hi everyone and thanks to all the coockers that are working on new beta roms for our Polaris.
I've read all the 3d about the different coockers/release and I can say for me it's not easy to try all of them.
It's also difficoult to stay updated on every release news, fix and so on.
For me would be VERY USEFULL a 3d in which summarize avery release with all the caratheristics, positive and negative fatcs and so on.
What did you think about it?
Bye
HELLO i agree with you..
It's a good idea, but I'm not sure you'll find a quick reply.
The main trouble with the Touch Cruise is it's limited implementation globally. With the only US supporters having to import it, and the high price pretty much everywhere, I've noticed the general Polaris "community" isn't nearly as positive or helpful as the Kaiser thread community is. That doesn't mean EVERYONE is a jerk, but it's frustrating to have come from a device and forum where there were tons of people with a positive attitude, all sharing ideas. Here, it seems like most people just ***** about the device they bought, with only a few people (most in the upgrading forum) looking to make the most of it and improve it.
I've been waiting for someone to release a Diamond rom that would work on the Touch Cruise, simply because I like the analog clock look. But I don't have any real interest to force Office 2007 on myself, as I've used the app and don't see any real improvements over Office 2003. But this post isn't about which version of MS software is best.
Anyway... here's hoping the gurus of this forum stay upbeat, keep up the good work, and someone can "port" the Diamond VGA driver to the qVGA device. On the surface, it seems like a simple idea. But you have to wonder if the video chipset in the Polaris just isn't all that without more horsepower behind it, and maybe a better screen. Maybe that's why the Diamond is the new king of the pile. I'd love to upgrade to it, but just having bought my Polaris in Feb. or so, it will be a LONG time before I can justify ANOTHER new device.
Anyway, my compliments to the masters for all they do, and best wishes to those with a pretty cool phone!
My request is only trying to make an unique post in which all the coders can list their ROMS with the list of apps inlcuded and positive and negavite facts.
So when a new owner of the device came here can choose without loosing his mind in looking for informations in thousands of post.
That's all here....
Bye

its a good idea. but comparing various roms is a full time job and i'm afraid not many people have that kind of time.
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=373233 has been around for a while with a list of Roms, I think thats the best you are going to get, it's just updated when it can be as far as I can tell but its came in usefull for me. Not sure if you missed it but it's been on the first page for a while. Unless I've missed the point and it's something else you are after?
The polaris is a good device and I've found help and support on these forums but its still quite new. I upgraded from the XDA Orbit and thats only been out just over a year I think, a lot of people bought in to 18 month contracts and so wont be upgrading for a while. I'd just bare with it and if you are unsure of anything, just ask.
My favourite ROM at the moment is Bepe's just because it's win 6.1, fast an clean then I've modified it to the standard I want by adding apps and tweaks. I've tried other roms but they are all at such early stages of development that a lot of them aren't really practical for day to day use as they can be very flakey. This won't last forever though.

TyTn (Hermes) with Android.. Possible???

Just wondering if anyone has come across anything which might indicate that Android may be able to be installed on the Hermes?
I have seen videos of Kaiser (TyTn II) running an older version, and the specs are quite similar between the two handsets.
With cookers moving onto newer devices, it would be nice to see some development of Android on the TyTn to bring new life into the old dog. God knows we will not see any new windows mobile versions past 6.1.
Anyone else agree or have any comments? I think Android may be a great alternative to this excellent phone.
Just my 2 cents.
Hi dravenb_4u,
please discover the search function in this forum first.
There had been a lot of threads discussing this issue so far:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387225
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=404145
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378374
To run any kind of android code on hermes there's the need of porting a useful linux to this platform.
See this thread as a starting point:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273579
I like the hermes very much and it's still my favorite phone.
Best one for everyday usage and to play around with gimmicks.
It's quite normal that people are more curious about new devices.
But should i spend so much money for an up to date gadget???
I won't!
At least there are quite a lot of posts in the hermes section.
So i think because it is a very useful phone some people will keep it alive
Also have o look at openmoko.org and you'll see what could be done with opensource .
Best regards,

Question : What can we expect ??

Hi people
One of the reasons I bought a Diamond was that I was sure that there would be a lot of development and "funny"-stuff for this device. Like new interfaces and so on. Things that would almost always keep the Diamond new and fresh so that it rarely bores me.
Well there has been a lot of development in these forums and I am very grateful for that. Thanks to alle the developers.
But still it's not as much as I expected to be honest. Don't get me wrong , I don't want to complain or sth. to the nature (That would be more than ridiculous since I am an absolute loser when it comes to developing). Developers do a great job.
But I was waiting for more differnet UI's and stuff to play around with.
So my question is :
What can one expect from the Diamond in the future ? Will such stuff come ?
The reason I ask is that I am thinking about selling my Diamond and get myself something like a Nokia E71. I know that there won't be much of the things I ask for here, but at least the battery is allegedly lasting super-long...sth. the Diamond does not have.
So I am asking you for advice ....Stick with the Diamond because there is a lot more to come ? Or rather sell and buy sth. different ?
I would be grateful for any needful answer.
PS: The reason I put this question into this section is because I thiink it's more a development question rather than a general Diamond one....
Uh Bell UI, Android, apps, themes.

HTC HD vs Xperia X1

Hello ppl from HD forum...
I have a question to ask to any user that owned the xperia and the HD...
I bought a touch HD but I'm not sure if is a good choice cause of the lack of keyboard and some reported(?) problems with the cam, bugs, etc... I tried the xperia keyboard and wasn't that great (compared to the kaiser)!
I would like to know if it's worth having the touch HD or for someone that owns a pda with keyboard is better the xperia x1 (though the kexboard ain't that great)... Thanks ahead for your opinions and comments
P.S: Does anyone knows exactly if the Orange HD come simlocked and if yes how to unlock it?
bandit, there are MANY threads already that go into great detail about the questions you're asking. Use the search function on the top menu line and let google do the searching. Search for 'hd vs x1' or something like that, and you'll have a multitude of xda forums to look through. Good luck!
Also, look through the first few pages of threads in the Blackstone forum for one titled something like 'Xperia Panels coming to the HD, NO CAB YET!' The user that started that thread has both devices.. his avatar looks like a Panels view. Send him a PM.. He's a busy person, but he may take a moment to answer your concerns..

If wp7 can't support htc hd2(hard ware)

WHO CAN HELP HD2 CAN WORK WP7?
MICROSOFT MAY BE Environmental protection not
WHAT do you want??
You should have started this thread in the General discussion, not in the Rom development
Nobody as yet knows what 7 will be like, I may be in the minority here but i think 7 looks like LG software!
How do you know you even want it?
It may be the windows vista of mobile software, besides it's not out for months yet I don't understand all the hype about something we really know nothing about.
Time to bring it down a notch i think and concentrate on the awesome device we have now before we get side tracked on something thats just half a number higher than we already have.
for all those having orgasms over something they havent even used or seen give me 5 reasons you want it?

wp7 news,I saw in CHINA POST,BUT WP7 IF REARY CAN'T SUPPORT HD2,WHY BEFORE MANY PEOPLE SAY WP7 CAN WORK IN HD2
SORRY MY ENGLISH IS NOT GOOD,I HOPE YOUR CAN UNDERSTAND
I thought the only reason the HD2 won't run 7 is because it hasn't got a dedicated bing search button? That's not a technical reason, that's a marketing decision.
OMG, yet another WP7-Thread.
I really can't read anything about this anymore. Nobody knows anything about WP7, what it will be like and when it will be ready.
In addition, WP7 seems to become the biggest crap phones have ever seen.
Just wait and see what will happen and stop crying around before anything is settled.
An other thread have been open in "HD2 themes and apps"
We have designers, just missing Developers
If anyone want to give a little help, go on this thread:

Please post in an ongoing WM7 thread.
