I wana android to my htc mini. But i didn't find the suitable rom. anyone help? thanks!
Currently here roms are still in beta, my suggestion would to select a more popular device that has more support than us
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
the android kitchen can port roms from one device to another. i've messed with it on occasion and just doing the basic port process generally results in the rom loading, but a lot of things not working (bluetooth, wifi, camera, etc).
its a good place to start, though.

How bout you and the op trade? That'd be the easiest way

True but mine has about 20 min of use right now, and I have trust issues on the net.
Well IMO if you have trust issues then stay away from windows mobile. I just upgraded a month back from a windows mobile phone. Interface worked decent but not only was it restrictive it what it allowed me to do it didn't like me to tinker and customize it the way it worked. At least with the android based phone I can see the inner working, understand how and what is going on. And I can disallow whatever I feel isn't good for me.

you can't put winmo on an android phone.
If you can put android on a winmo phone why can we not at the least dual boot on a android phone

Its difficult, with winmo we could shutdown winmo with a app and load a os into the phone through the SD card but still there was alot of compatability issues. I'm assuming its going to be the same the other way. Camera will never work or radio ect..

Probably has to do with the fact that you'd be moving out of the grey area of rom flashing and firmly into pirating since you never attained a winmo license.
Which would also mean most sites wont allow it since your work becomes a liability.

its not pirating really, if so then my tilt2 had pirated software on it, i had htc sense (winmo6.5) ported from the hd2 to it plus i dual booted android 2.1 and had a full fledged linux on at some point
the real problem is the reverse engineering which no one wants to do, and i dont speak for all people but for alot of people winmo is become less than useful not saying it sucks because i loved my tilt2 but it had its limitations that my aria doesnt

That version of Sense you had was reverse engineered to a certain point. I can bet you if you took the cab straight from the hd2 and installed it on the Tilt, it either wouldn't install ir would be very, very buggy.
And as i said, doing this would move you out of that gray area. One could make an argument that you've paid for a license for WinMo and Sense and by flashing these new ROMs you're just updating. You can argue the other side, but thats why its called a gray area.
Android in its most basic form is FOSS. Google's apps aren't, but the OS itself is. You can legally install it on whatever you can get it to run on. To be fair, i don't know how they handle distributing it.
Windows Mobile on the other hand is licensed. You HAVE to pay for a new license otherwise you're pirating the os.

Your right and I'm not trying to be an ass
But to break that license you would hafta sell the software modified. They finally passed a law stating basically if its given to the open public it can be modified all u want untilled is sold then its illegal. The one good thing apple brought upon us
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Not exactly. I think its if you distribute it, not just selling it. From Engadget:
Basically, they just can't sue you for the specific act of breaking their protections but there's nothing stopping them from putting those protections in there in the first place, or for suing you for an infringement not covered in this exception -- like distributing Apple code in a non- Apple-approved way, or installing illegal or pirated software.

i realize this shouldnt be much of a problem to port
the only problem is probably the bootloader and recovery mode are for different OS's but otherwise these phones are almost exactly the same
although i have no idea how to port anything
Not to annoy anybody, but is there somebody even trying to port Android from the Aria to the Mini at this moment? Or is this a real dead one...?
Since the hardware is almost exactly the same, the only major thing should be a safe way to flash from WinMo to Android, or am I wrong?
Guys, are there any developers around here that can give an indication of how hard it is to port an Aria Android Rom onto the HD Mini? Could it be possible that just putting the Aria Rom on a HD Mini will give a 90% working phone (trackpad/screen/windows button are the only differences as far as i know)?

We will probably still never get a sense port or a wp7 port, that is next to nearly impossible still.
The problem is that HTC havent released a sense sdk

Hahahahahha. Good luck mate. You gunna need it as it wouldn't run on our x10 as there aint enough ram. If the nexus s and the galaxy s are having trouble running 2.1 do you think the x10 could run 3.0 or 3.5. Think again. It wouldn't boot or the launcher would just keep getting killed as there wouldn't be enough ram. I have a sensation and that has 752ram some odd and that only has like 200 left foe apps so that shows what the sense is using. Nearly 500mb of ram. Its just a dream now buddy. I.think the x10 might just be able to handed 2.1 but that's still a push.

Would take A LOT of work to port sense to x10

I can't understand this obsession of some people with sense,The important things is not just that it runs on X10, We already have that, The imp. thing is how well it will run, Btw I think the only one who can do this properly is J who is apparently not willing in working on it & I can clearly see why, I mean why waste your time when you can work on such a greater, more valuable achievement like CM7
Good idea

Well it is easily the most polished android skin.
It is the longest and really incorporates social networking and functionality well.
The dialer and contacts are easily best I've used.
The weather application is very precise.
Lots of eye candy if that is your thing..
Earlier sense 2.1 isn't a memory hog either like the 3d sense 3 is.
Is there's a Windows 7 ROM for the MT4G (or other Android phones). Not sure how difficult the coding would be to do or if anyone's even interested in doing one. From the quick scan I just had, I found nothing in the Development section.
Just curious, please don't flame

I think it's possible because it's virtuously the same hardware that most W7 phone's work on.
But it will never happen because I can't imagine anyone taking their time to port over a W7 ROM. Would be too time consuming since there wouldn't be a demand for it.
But it would be kinda cool to play around with for an hour though.

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess there really isn't a demand so no one's going to go through all the hassle to do it.
I just started looking into the Windows Phone platform once Mango was announced over the summer and they look like they got something good happening.
I primarily like the fact that:
1) has a very clean look to it (apps have a very consistent look, even 3rd party ones on the app store)
2) update straight from Microsoft rather than OEMs or carriers (I guess that's also thanks to the "strict" hardware requirement Microsoft has set for OEMs, so software wise, all phones can get updates at the same time, unlike Android's fragmentation)
3) very snappy and not very demanding on hardware
4) simple, but different from iPhone's style
But then again...I'll most likely miss flashing ROMs if I ever do migrate over (however, I think I can live with it if everything's super snappy and there's enough app support for the OS). And really sucks that there's not a lot of WP7 selection for AWS and no tethering yet for the OS.
I'm trying out the Launcher 7 right now, but because it's running as a launcher and Sense is still running in the background, it's killing my battery lol.
I'd love to test a wp 7 ROM or atleast a hybrid version with Android.
From my fist to your face, enjoy!
I am sitting next to a girl right now in my class with a windows phone running Mango
It's pretty snappy but loads apps that aren't stock apps slower then shz.
I am my mom's "little elitest"
Deal with it!

You know adobe gave up on mobile flash right?
WM 7 is not open source. To get a working port would be a guessing game and super not worth it, not a DD. That's the reason you don't see honeycomb ports to other devices either like the nook color. It was never open sourced. Windows is not going in the open source direction either

Let me first start by saying the rom doesnt boot completely. It boots all the way to when the screen dims and vibrates, when it is about to display lockscreen.. Logcat shows everything installing and starting correctly.. It wasn't hard to get to this stage, so it gave me a little bit of confidence in this awesome project.. Froyo was my favorite android version, as it was a huge upgrade for my old hero.
I thought it would be hilarious to release cm6 for the nexus s, heck I would have run it for the rest of my nexus's lifetime.
So, let me know what you guys think.. keep digging around to get it booting or give up because its old news..
If anyone wants to help for just a fun proof of concept project, or just to poke around, lemme know, the more the merrier
That is all. Waste of a thread, but that is what the general section is for.
LOL in this time and age running froyo is like going back to xp from windows 7. But yeah as a proof of concept its kind of interesting;-) What would be really interesting, is running gingerbread on the gnx
Oh wow.... I don't even know what to say.....

They are incompatibility. Because Nexus S is the first Gingerbread-device, Androi 2.3.0 is the lowest compatibly OS version.
You also can't install System V(AT&T's Unix system since about 1970) in your computer.

Yes this is true, but the point is that its almost booting.. I knew this from the start, it will require back porting drivers and probably a few kernel edits, but it may be possible.. in the end its just Linux running on a few upgraded drivers and a few kernel changes..

Not without doing some back porting.
This is much easier to do from Gingerbread back to Froyo though, since you are building something to run on the same hardware and software stack (ARM and Android 2.x). The most difficult part would be getting drivers to work, but just as older drivers are made to work on new OS versions with shims and other tricks, in theory this is possible, if not a lot of work.
I'm not sure what will be gained though. Gingerbread didn't seem like a significant resource drain over Froyo, so I can't imagine there are any speed/power gains.

Yeah, its funny because I tried porting a froyo touchwiz rom from the og epic, and it got to pretty much the same place when booting haha.. hopefully I can get this working, along with other variations of froyo, that would be the greatest achievement for me in any android related stuff.
