Hi all, new here and very much liking it. I have a little problem, I am running the latest Androkkid on my Hero G3 and noticed that I am unable to lock my phone from the Androkkid UI. Does anyone jnow how to fix this please?
wrong forum. this is the android forum, not the forum for windows software that looks like android.
edit: or you got something mixed up. when i google androkkid it tells me that it is a ui for windows mobile that looks like android. but that won't run on a hero, as there is no windows mobile for the hero.
Yeah i agree, Androkkid is for windows mobile only.
So even if you do have WM on your Hero, why would anyone do this then make it look like the OS that they had on there already?
Im totally confused.

No Sir, you didn't mixed up, but what's you don't know that the Chinese copied the Hero few months ago (100% looks the same) but it uses WM 6.5 with androkkid
No doubts the original poster is a Chinese
100% looks the same doesn't mean it is the same.
The chinese version is not a HTC Hero and therefore questions about it shouldn't be posted here.
BOOM!

So....
I have a HTC Tattoo and I just ordered a HTC Snap, for development and business use (I'm a secondary school student and a soon-to-be freelance web designer) but I didn't want to get a blackberry.
I've got a few questions. The last time I've used Windows Mobile was ages ago, on a HP iPAQ rx1950. It lagged like crap. How is the performance with Windows Mobile 6.5? Is it speedy or is it still laggy?
That's the method of jailbreaking/rooting the HTC Snap? Can you link me to a thread? I've tried looking in some forums, but I'm kinda confused - too used to one-click-root on Android.... Heh. I think it would involve flashing the SPL, a possible CAB file to add administrator privileges and some other things.
What's a good ROM for the Snap?
Is there any chance of running Android on the Snap?
Thanks again, peeps.
The model of the one that I purchased is S521. What is the codename for this one?

WM6.5 on the Snap is pretty decent. It has a much faster processor and lots more RAM than the rx1950. WM Standard also tends to be slightly more responsive on equivalent hardware compared to WM Professional.

There is no jailbreaking or rooting with WM - admin privileges are automatic. App unlocking may need to be done depending on your carrier, but is a trivial process. If you're looking to flash a custom ROM, then HardSPL will need to be flashed. Check the ROM development board.

Depends on taste. Some people like a basic Stock ROM, others like an all-inclusive tweaked-out ROM like 3VO. If none suit your taste, feel free to fire up a kitchen and make your own.

HTC Maple, I think.
Thanks for the extensive reply. Completely gets me on track to get started with my Snap!
I'll possibly opt for the tweaked ROM, I looked at the screenshots and they totally impressed me.
For themes in WM6, is it like Windows XP's theming - a theme can change the look of the start bar and everything? Windows Mobile 5 only allowed people to change the colors and wallpaper... Nothing much else.
Thanks again!
Title says it allis it actuallu possible to install Windows Mobile onto a HTC Magic device

No. There are no Windows Mobile drivers for this phone. HTC hasn't and never will make em.

To each his own, but you just made me throw up a little. I won't bother asking, but I really want to know why you'd want an outdated piece of crap like winmo on your beautiful android device. Oh well. As I said, to each his own.

When I had a winmo device I was using the Haret method to run Android on It because I hated winmo and I always will...
Maybe you should sell your htc Magic and get the htc HD1.

Because It's better than the total rubbish that is android, thats why. I also want Winmo on my mt3g. I can't stand Android, but I can't afford a new phone.
In that case, I'd try your local Craigslist to see if anyone is willing to trade you.

are you serious? windows mobile is garbage..
windows as a PC operating system is the best. windows 7 is amazing.
but windows MOBILE? GARBAGE...they even tried to make windows mobile 7 more like android os,iphone os,maemo os, etc.. and they failed miserably.

welcome to xda.
to answer you question, no there is no wp7 rom available for hd2. there are themes that emulate it.
additionally, this has been asked with new threads about it quite a bit...please do use the search function.
again, welcome.
Wow...awesome answer! Saved me the trouble
Really?
I saw a video over on BGR website showing a working port of windows phone 7 on an HD2 Here is the link if you want to check it out, but I would love Windows phone 7 on my HD2 if at all possible.
http://www.bgr.com/2010/11/07/windows-phone-7-ported-to-the-htc-hd2-again-shows-more-promise/
We have all seen that video, and it's currently unknown if that is real, or just an emulator image...because it certainly isn't RTM, nor are the chinese releaseing the image to anyone.

Looks legit running side by side with the HTC Surround though doesn't it? I guess it could be black magic.

Really because to my knowledge XDA China is responsible for the port and video,...Guess I could be wrong...I always am according to the wife LOL
Right, but XDA China is in no way affiliated with XDA-Developers, and the chinese are not releaseing any information on their "port" until, according to their words, "enough people are mad enough that it's not out yet". So yeah, personally I think it's fake.
In another thread, another Chinese guy called the number from the video a couple times and talked to the maker of the video. First he said that if the rom was flashed, there was no way of going back to winmo... then the last time he talked to him he said something about it being false.
What I heard, and what I believe to be true now, is that the Chinese got whole of one of the wp7 test hd2s that m$ used to test and develop wp7. Its well known they used hd2 to test in the early stages, and it doesn't surprise me that one of these devices surfaced. Unfortunately, I have a feeling we will never know for sure what was used for the video. I think we're still a long way away from using wp7 on our hd2.

Now that makes total sense, I can see how that could have unfolded.
I could not find any similar poll and the curiosity is killing me. Please vote so that we can get a picture of how people are using their HD2/Leo. The options are:
I have not tried to run Android or Custom Windows Mobile ROMs and am using original Windows Mobile
I have managed to run Android or Custom Windows Mobile ROMs but prefer using original Windows Mobile
I have managed to run Android or Custom Windows Molile ROMs and I mostly use Custom Windows Mobile
I have managed to run Android or Custom Windows Molile ROMs and I mostly use Android
EDIT: I messed up the first poll option. It is to say "I have not tried...."
The idea is pretty good (been wondering myself for a while). However, don't you think that this is a little biased? I mean, it is in an Android Forum. Shouldn't it be moved to HD2 General Forum? Just a thought, anyways, good idea man!
Merry Xmas from Portugal

I realised after I posted it, so I went and posted the following thread in the HD2eneral Forum.

Still, you are right. The answer will be biased. Oops.

Isn't posting it in the general section biased too? I'm not sure if that many Android users still go there. I know I don't (never been a WinMo user though, so I don't have the old habit of going there).
It's probably best to take the averages of the results here and in HD2 general.

Thanks dharvey. You couldn't move this thread to the HD2 General forum, could you?
I'm heavy Android user (I own a G1 and I tried almost every possible ROM for it), but right now I'm in love with WM, it's all new for me .
Wow I never would have guessed 97%+ of Leo owners have tried an android build...
surprised with so much HD2-android users
thanks for the poll and merry christmas!
Convert
I have to say I was passionate about Windows and Touch Flo on the HD2.
But the great builds from the folks at XDA Devs coupled with the cool and cheap / free apps on the Android market convinced me to make the jump.
Desire HD is not Touch Flo, but it is close.
I never used a winmo on my hd2 directly after the buy i use android
Thanks to all developers, I'm proud to be an Android HD2 owner Also, I need to thank custom WinMo developers because without them running a stable Android build is very problematic and difficult. MERRY CHRISTAMS & HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Btw i just got HD2 today, it's awesome phone. I'm running mostly android on it since i have only 4GB card. When i get 8GB one i will try ubuntu and anything else that is availble here.
Guilty as charged! I have been using Android on the HD2 since I figured out how to load custom winmo and android roms. Thanks to all the developers!
hey everyone
This has been a long time coming. Thanks to the unshakable versatility of the HTC HD2 (what other phone runs Windows Mobile, Android, MeeGo, Windows 95, and Ubuntu?) we finally have a working port of Windows Phone 7. As you will see, the port works quite well: everything works
hd2 is the coolest phone on earth

Sorry to rain on your parade, but this news has been all over this forum (and others) all day!
It was about 12 hours ago I flashed WP7 to my phone! (Back to Android now though )
Seriously, the forums are plastered with it! I really don't know how you missed it (unless you didn't look first).
