Can HERO Run WM6.5 - Hero, G2 Touch General

Hi
Is there anyway HTC Hero can run WM6.5 ?
Thank you.

Hi!
No. Thank God.

While technically possible, from a religious point of view it would be considered a sin.
If you intend to give WM a try, you'd better to lend a WMphone and play with it.
If you changed your mind about a Linux powered phone, ebay is the way.

I cast you out from our sacred land

Ofcourse it would be possible... if you have the source code for WinMo and got the drivers for the Hero hardware.`But tyou don't have that (I am sure HTC got both though).
But why would you?
I am sure that you can put Android on already existing hardware too (how about Android on S60 phones or even the iPhone)

Technically != by anyone
But the idea of running Android on the E series is quite interesting though.
I could even revert back to a N0k1a in that case ...

Groan......Not another one!

Life could be actually easier. But won't.
This is why we have the tax, the flu and Windows.

agreed. Windows and tax suck...although the flu is a great way to get some chicken soup and a few days off work!!

Maybe this is something for you in the future???

Not really. We need the native Android on all phones.
Unleash your phone, give it adroid!

WM 6.1 ROM

Exist any WM6.1 ROM for HTC Dream ? Please dont ask me why I need this.
Thanks.
No, not going to happen, been asked many, many, many times already.
why not ? where is the problem to cook non official ROM ?
For one, its a waste of a perfectly good phone to put that CRAP on it. If you want a piece of crap, buy a piece of crap.
Second, the required drivers simply don't exist.
What do you men crap ? OK, the second explanation is better.
I think lbcoder got it right. windows mobile IS Junk. I have a Kaiser in addition to the G1. The Kaiser has great hardware minus the KB, small screen, and quiet speaker, but it has a horrific OS e.g. It's slow, locks up, restarts itself for no reason.
The G1 however has a great OS that needs little or no changing at all, but dumbed down hardware.

Bottom line is if you want WinMo, buy a WinMo phone. Most of the hackers working on HTC Dream are working on Android.
Oh yeah and use the search.

I concur. I couldn't imagine going to winmo after being blessed with android.

I guess we want what we don't have? Many folk are working on porting Android to our WM devices.... Maybe it's just the challenge of it all?

Now that I think about it; I sure wouldn't mind the ability to dual boot. Not even sure why but maybe just for that hell of it.
Makes no sense
I had the T-mobile Dash before the G1 and wound up giving the dash to my wife. I was helping her learn to use it and only then did I realise how goofy the setup of it all is. They say the beauty of it is that it tries to emulate the Windows experience, but if my desktop worked like that...I'ld have a mac.

Best post in this thread. Completely true and funny as hell.
That being said I'm STILL excited to see what WinMo 7 brings to the table.

Can we flash WM6.5 on this device?

the hardware is pretty similar with HD2, I wonder if we can flash HD2 ROM on this device. I like the hardware of Nexus One but missing the WM6.5. I will try to flash it when it is received tomorrow.
i have a better question... why would you want to?
Seriously, just buy an HD2 if you have such a WinMo boner
Are you kidding us? WM doesn't exist...
If you try Android you will never go back to WM..
yeah... gonna dump my fuze.. maybe sell it for $100 and get outta ATT..
buy the phone outright, and jump on the $59 plan they got (or maybe make up a different one - i'm not much of a texter), then add on the work discount.. cheaper than paying $180 for it and being stuck w/ the $80/mo plan.
I'm done with winmo after playing with my parents android phones
HD2 cost $670 +shipping, but if I flash the Nexus one, it only costs $562. it's a better choice than buy a HD2.

I couldn't even pick up the phone with WM.. It would just freeze..
is this a joke?
The 4 real mobile OS this generation are OS X Mobile, Android, Blackberry, and to some extent, Symbian... Winmo is not even an OS anymore it's pieces of junk getting stitched together like Frankenstein
Yay for developing honeycomb style apps screen for the past 2 years

Well there is a device called Sunno, supposed to have both WM&android - dual boot, similar to your desktop's dual boot. So it's possible then?I think it would be beneficial for these devices to have changeable os. Monday - android, tuesday - winmo. About stupidity - I don't like android (hero that is) - so I'm stupid then??
Biased people.. Android fans start to sound like iPhone groupies. All think Android is a new killer OS, ever owned a GOOD WM device? "whats new? what is all the fuss about?" What can you do now that is sooooo different from what I could do 3/5 years ago with Winmo? The only good thing in the nexus? The snapdragon used in WM HD2..
this android is just stupid program. Got it today.
can not download applications from Android market. it just say "starting download", but never start.
I try to download from windows XP, and copy to SD card, but
it even does not have file explore. it's no way to find and run the installation.
what a trash program!!!!

HTC EVO 4G ROM on HTC HD2

indeed thats the question we are all waiting for the answer to..

An interesting concept, there are those that are asking if Windows Phone7 is going to work with the HTC HD2 as well. Be nice if we could choose either. The HD2 is a lovely piece of kit.
when is the evo actually out? nobody got a whiff of a leaked rom?
got an hd2 myself, would love to get android

May the force be with you
I'm not so sure about this....
With the Evo not coming to UK waters and no other screen size planned this side of the pond the ROM on the HD2 may well be the only answer.
However, lets not forget.. the Evo has a lot inside which will be different to the HD2 and these short comings won't make the HD2 an Evo in disguise.
It may end up being a sheep in wolf's clothing.
I don't think you'll see it because of driver issues but if enough people want it anything is possible.

Tell that to Winterboard and AndroidLock. But yes, theming isn't supported natively.
However the iPhone port of Android is an actual native port, loaded using OpeniBoot, a custom "iBoot"-style bootloader. And you thought the HTCSPL system was tricky...

Belated, but May the Fourth be with you.
I find it quite unlikely. Developers are still trying to get Android EMULATED, not installed, on the Touch Pro, and that version still suffers from poor battery life and frequent errors.
You can't just drag and drop ROMS from completely different operating systems onto different phones; otherwise, all phones would be sold without an OS installed.
The two phones may be similar in regards to features, but the insides are completely different. For example, the Evo has a maXTouch sensor, while the HD2 does not. So, while you may be able to get Android emulated on the HD2, it doesn't look like it's going to be very possible to transform it into an Evo by giving it the latter's ROM.

iPhone ROM/OS on the HTC HD2

Okay, so before I get flamed to death for asking - it's just a random question!
Is it possible [or has it been done?] to rip the ROM from the iPhone [or get its OS or whatever] and flash it to the HTC HD2 so that it behaves like the iPhone?
Yes, it's a stupid question, but I would like to know the answer - Just to play around with the idea a bit.
I will take the lead!
If you want the iPhone OS, take the easy route and get an iPhone!
If you want the Windows OS, you have got a few options (and you are probably in the right place)!
lol...
No seriously, iPhone's MAJOR drawback is the ability of users/developers to access the installed operating system. Until this is sorted, no one can dump the iPhone OS and hence it can not be run on any other hardware.
But, why would you want to do that ?
Seriously,
If you want the iPhone OS, take the easy route and get.....
lol
...or get the iPhoneToday plugin.

The reason I was considering it is just that I like the look and feel of the iPhone, and its OS isn't messy like Windows MoFoBile.
I'd get an iPhone...but I'm locked down for two years with this HTC HD2
However - that's not TOO bad since I cooked it with that Energy ROM - the BEST ROM IN THE WORLD, by the way.

I realise that the iPhone and the iPhone OS has virtually no customisability, but I mean...if a ROM was made that resembled it - then customisability could be cooked in somehow...

Flog your HTC HD2 on ebay, and then head to an apple store to purchase an iPhone. Uncle Steve loves you indeed!

[Q] Android on my HTC Trophy 7

Dear Amazing developers,
I am sure you have encountered this question several times but I just need to understand if I can install Android system on my HTC Trophy 7, I am hating how microsoft is hounding their users in such stupid way. Please advise.
Thank you so much
Not possible....yet. But, team from XDA.CN are working on Android ROM currently for HTC HD7. I think that if they make it for HD7, it could be done for all wp7s out there...
Here's the video about their progress.
Bye!

Unfortunately noone does... I can guess that it might me avalible in let's say 1 month or more... If you ask me, I would love it to be avalible tomorrow, but i highly
doubt it happening.
We can only say thumbs up for this project and keep our fingers crossed that they
don't encounter heavy problems during the realisation of this project!
looooooool... Yep thats exactly what am doing RIGHT NOW
I can wait , just cant get into WP7 Ive tried and tried to like it but its still a 50/50 thing.
i think if the HD7 has nand Android i think its not so hard to port then Android
to Trophy and Mozart because they has the same CPU.

Why don't you just sell you WP7 phone and get yourself a new Android device ? The market price on a Trophy is as high as it's going to be, so you'll get the most for it now.
Also you don't not have to worry about Hacking Android to get it on the phone, that sometimes might not offer the best performace or hardware not working correctly.
Just wondering...
Is there anything new about putting Android on HTC Trophy, since last reply and asking about this was about the end of April..?
Thanks, and thumbs up for developers...
Nope, nothing new.
Please get yourself and stock android phone, i perfer WP7 over ANDROID everyday.
because they all have android least the trophy? Someday there will be someone dared you succeed? (before you break into pedas) jajaja
Some info to all the xda.cn video is just a fake confirmed by cotulla
anyone knows if somebody is doing it..? I mean, dooes it 'fits' on HTC Trophy..?
thanks
Why would anyone want to do this? And even more important why would anyone want to build a ROM? Screw Android. I'd rather someone make a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM for the Trophy instead of this crap.
I do not agree with you... I believe it would be better if android fits on HTC Trophy... That possibility would be great!
