Wanting a Tinker Phone. What do you think. - Nexus One General

I currently have a Nexus One and will not be replacing it.
what im hoping to find out is what is the best tinker phone around.
im thinking the HD2 is for me because it can run windows 6.5,hope soon to have windows 7 , android, meego, ubuntu and who knows what else.
so what do you think? what is your tinker toy (phone).
My Currnet Tinker toy dont laugh at me but its a Motorola Backflip running 2.1.

I think the HD2 is a good choice, you definitely can play with it a lot, I had one before getting a Nexus but I preferred just having a stable build rather than having to continuously update and find a good build with the HD2.

You can find more information Here Its pretty cool. Runs anything that can possibly be made for an ARM, 3G capabilities, Sim Card slot the whole deal .

The HD2 can run Windows Phone 7? I thought like one video was released and a public build was never posted?

Iphone OS

Recently a hacker successfully installed Android 1.5 on the Iphone 2G. Is the opposite possible? (Android running Iphone OS)
alpha124
Only Apple knows how to do it. And they won't.
But in theory they could use ANY hardware. But they won't.
Why do you want to run IPhone OS on different hardware in the first place?
because we can?

If you manage to get ouch-phone OS (if you where to translate "iPhone" phonetically to Swedish you'd get the equivalent to "ouch-phone") running on other hardware than the fruit company's own hardware I'd take my hat off...

I'd like to see someone try! Even maybe an iPhone theme for Sense would be pretty cool, in an ironic way of course.
android is open source, so it's much more adjustable, therefore it's more "easy" to get it to work on the iphone, than the opposite.

yeah I also thought of that, but was kinda hoping it would somehow work.
I'm fairly sure it's possible, but I don't think it's possible to do it with full functionality.
well I would be happy if I can make and receive calls
Even if it is possible I am sure that the OS has a built in check to confirm it is running on their hardware.
I don't know if this counts, but...

I dunno, I've never used an iPhone. Just like the look of it.

Milestone Officially Announced for Cellular South

Not my next phone... also not a game changer...
But here it is. The Milestone
If it had a SnapDragon, I'd totally go to CS, they've got great coverage in my area.

See Droid Shadow (also known as Droid Extreme though there is debate about that)
Yeah, I love HTC though. I'll probably never leave them or XDA.

Out with the right one then.
I'm looking for a snapdragon also.. won't move from the Hero until then! They say that this is the first of many... so hopefully the next one will be the Shadow.... or Desire... Incredible... etc.
Hints from some CS reps point towards the Desire to come out soon after the Milestone...

And the best part is, Android is at or above the market share the iPhone had in it's first year of release. And it's outsold the iPhone for the past two quarters. It's impossible to compete with a multi-phone platform

Ubuntu for phones announcement

Today, Cannonical has announcement a version Ubuntu for phones. They can found more info here: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone
The requesites are very similar to HD2. Will be posible portable to it?
hope so...
Sorry for my bad English. I just reading that link. Some of my friend say that the Ubuntu OS is base on Android Kernel so we totally can port it to our HD2 but the rom running on Galaxy Nexus just a demo rom that mean the need a lot of time to config. Ubuntu OS is currently in the development stage and finishing, according to the source before we have to wait until 2014. I think that time is too long for our HD2.
^
well you never can say, there are a lot of Dev's here that are even miles ahead of those manufacturers/ phone companies, all we have to do is wait & see.
I also noticed just yesterday in one 2nd hand site here in HK all the HD'2 where sold & at least 10 more people where looking for one.

I'm a NAND user on a LEO1024. Since Ubuntu phone will support android kernels and the drivers it will be quite simple to get the required files from tytung's repo and merge it into the OS.
As soon as it's released or leaked there will be a race for "FIRST"

I assure you there will not be and if you want it, you will have probably to do it yourself. It's not android, nobody wants that... yet.
Challenge accepted!

To be the first would be awesome. I'm ready for it
i am waiting for that
please release it fo hd2
A very interesting project! My HD2 is looking forward!
I think it will be fun.
would be good as an excercise, i suppose. as long as the support is there.
why would it be better than android?
in my experience with ubuntu on my laptop, anything i try to do always seems end up typing long lines of code in a terminal window
as someone once said "linux is free if your time is worthless"
been developing with the new SDK & its a freakin beast ! .....i eat ...sleep ...poop ..Ubuntu ...its so much fun
Ubuntu Phone OS is going to rule ....its just so awesome !

HTC HD2 Leo - Windows 11 On Arm

I recently saw how the guys are using Windows 11 on devices such as Nokia / Microsoft Lumia 950 & 950XL and remembered the HTC Leo and the legend that it is, would it be possible to run Windows 11 on this little guy ? ​

I don't think so.
Possible, maybe.
But would it "run" ? I don´t think so.
The hardware specs already struggle with more recent android apps and tasks, how would a whole (bloated) desktop OS run on this?
However i saw it would run fairly decent on a OnePlus 6/6t but many things are still broken such as audio and RIL.
Yeh you guys are right, it's just that I really like the device, still using it with Android 5 on it, I think it's the last version of Android that has the camera working, didnt find any 6 or 7 rom with the funcctional camera, but still, awesome little phone, love it.

Making and selling software is not easy, they've done some things they should not have done.
They've annoyed their userbase with all kinds of weirdness, problems...
They sell it like "your old apps will work" and so the new OS inherits BS code from ... somewhere.
It's because of greed. They need money. Not sure what for, since they didn't use them to make a better OS. Let's say they wasted all the money.
Moving to Linux and Hackintosh. Can sill use Win in a VM no matter which version, the lighter the better.
Theyve actually announced WIn12 which immitates Android more. Which I have spammed them to do since I don't rembeber when.
I am not an optimist for that corp, they will mess up many things as they always do. They don't have what it takes, they are weak.
Windows is a mess.
Anything that gives Gates more money is bad, very bad. Too bad it was Allen that perished and not him.
MS started the cloud crap, now Android is emulating that lame role model. Being the data mining pimps that they are...
