Wp7 on DHD - Desire HD General

3-4days ago, I saw that HTC announced Titan and Radar.. and both the cpu is msm8255. Moreover Radar is 1GHZ.... So I think we can port wp7 to our DHD... What do you think?

Well, the problem isn't just the chipset. There are also other hardware parts that probably aren't the same as in these devices.
And that parts are the problem because wp7 is closed source so you can't really modify drivers, kernel,... Since android is open source, the drivers can be "easily" modified or replaced by others.
But if HTC uses the exact same hardware in these devices, there is a SMALL possibility that it will be portet someday. But imo it's unlikely that it will be ported.

It would be awesome indeed. But I doubt that someone will do it.

In my opinion, if you want to use wp7 and don't want to spend very much, you can buy a used hd2 around 100€... I am playing with this idea now, because I use two phones and wp7 looks nice and works good, but my main phone is and will be my DHD with Android because android can do more, than I would wish on a phone. It's the most amazing operating system ever...
Sent from my HTC Desire HD-T2X using XDA Premium App

the question, why? I would have answered, just because of the good feeling that our phone can do that. I would never use W7 but I would like to try to look again and tell myself that the DHD with Android platform the best choice.

Well, if there are someone who will to create a new custom bootloader, den I think multi boot on multi os is possible

I saw someone discovered dual boot between sense rom and non sense rom....

[sarcasm] Wow, surprised this hasn't been asked before[/sarcasm] If you want WP7 on your phone go buy a windoze phone, it's closed source and would be a helluva a lot of effort for people to go to and why bother?.
Anyway MODS any chance you can close this thread as you have the other 100+ asking this question?

I suppose that it will be nice to have dual boot, but IMO wp7 sucks. The effort in achieving this is just not worth it.
Have wp7 on my work phone and I must say that win 6.5.x on my topaz is much better. Yes the speed and UI are better but some general things (which are very annoying in daily use) need to be polished.
Many missed calls as the wp7 can be powered off while phone is locked. So every time you put it in your pocked you must be sure that power button is face down.

i just can't honestly think why any one would want wp7 as a daily OS, maybe for a play, but why, really why?

Android is the best
ill stick to android..one of the best...

I for one would love to see WP7 dual boot with CM7 on my DHD. Even if it's just for a proof of concept. The new Mango update does give WP7 ability to run on DHD hardware. Maybe not e'thing would work but the chipset will be supported. So porting it to DHD shouldm't be that difficult.

here you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709763, its only the launcher (which is the main component of touchwiz anyway). Have fun
p.s. i recommend using a stock n1 rom since people using this have had the most sucess with it
I think we have enough smart devs here to make it possible. It's only a question of whether they want it or not

Thanks for this, it's quite good.
i dont know.. The UI just seems very useless. It's like Samsung just wanted to be different and put something on top of Android. Maybe later down the road.. but I definatly prefer the devs focus more on Sense and Stock but TBH I'm just happy I have android on my HD2.
100% agreed Samsungs android customizations are total junk.
It's the screen the makes the phone, not the Android layout IMO, but taste differ.
Fair enough friend at work just got one and thought the layout was pretty good so just thought if u can then y not

What phone next? (Not a hate topic!)

Hi forum...
If I want to buy a new phone now, replacing my X10, not because I hate my X10, but because I would love to play with custom roms, then what phone should I go out and buy?
I have 2 or 3 things I would want in the phone, though.
1. good working gps reciver.
2. Fm radio.
3. Nice big screen and battery.
I have NOTHING against the X10, I only want a phone more for fun, and to play with custom roms...
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
i would suggest Desire HD
If you are a ROM freak HTC is the way to go.

How did you know it is great ? Have you used it ? Sure the ROM in that is great but what about other aspects of the phone ? Do you know it has a good working GPS ? Do you know it has a FM Radio as OP has asked for ? And do you know if its not going to be locked down ?
This looks promising. Teathered too...

The desire hd looks insane good. Makes the iphone4 look 5 years old.
well for sure, not a SE anymore
my nect could be an evo or the nectversion of it xD
I'm going with Captivate.
Worse camera and GPS issues but better CPU/GPU, good screen, more ram, hacked bootloader, custom roms (just not a froyo one still, but it will and at least it already has 2.1). Desire HD is nice but plain expensive still (it's new anyway).
HTC is the way to go because as i see it the HTC phones have the most customs roms available and are better supported by devs and HTC.
I had a HTC Hermes, after that a Diamond, after that a Touch HD, and all of them were supported by devs and flashed Roms every day.
I must say that were great times. I hope we can do it on our X10 sooner or later.
I would buy a Desire HD
I would go for desire HD or a gsm version of droid x.
I'd wait to see what WP7 has to offer. The UI looks unique and sleek. X10 styled WP7 will be attractive if it comes early.
HTC Desire HD will be my next phone, and i have already pre orderd it.
Honestly, if Apple allowed Widgets, I might go that route - but they don't so I'd lean to something like a Driod X.
I'm hoping I can get my hands on a desire hd for sure....if not I will definitely be going back to HTC....I do love my X10 a lot....but I hate SE now lol.
I'm currently looking at the HTC HD2 right now...I really like winmo to...I might give it a shot.

i m looking forward to buy a new android phone. i have 3 options.
1. HTC Desire
2. HTC HD2
3. Samsung Galaxy S I9000
can u help me choose please? which one u think is better and why?
desire/hd2, i prefer the desire though, hd2 has a lot of stuff going on around in dev, flash like crazy haha (im not a flashaholic), but then again it is fun to try out quad-boot os on your phone, id just stick with android though
Galaxy s = iphone knock off plus crap build quality and lag.

hd2 provides you with a bigger screen but with less color compare to desire... hd2 has also a newer processor, but his running wm... I would take hd2 and flash it to run android...
Galaxy s may be the best on paper but its laggy. If you want to mod it go for the hd2. If you want an official gingerbread update go 4 the desire

i sold my wildfire for 20K, and HD2 will cost me 27k, Desire and galaxy round about 30k. (my budget wont allow me to go higher)
Desire. Friend got one, and, its pretty amazing. Seems to literally get hot though.
(Although, after comparing his stock ROM, and mine with CM7 and ADW Launcher EX, he feels my phone is far smoother and faster than his. hint hint. )

its the most beautiful sense i have ever seen.. wow

htc desire hd has got the sensation rom port:
http://phandroid.com/2011/04/15/desire-hd-gets-sensation-rom-port/
now i guess it becomes more easy to port to n1.
it consists of lots of new widgets ,icons and animations specially.....
and its gingerbread......
lets see how much time it takes for the porting of sensation rom to nexus one.
guys inform the great developers out there to have a look...
:-D
great...
I hope someone can port it to our n1
Here's an easier download, the chinese one isn't the easiest to navigate.
Sorrry, but do you think this will be ported? No dev has been found to port desire s Rom entirely. This is a dead child in think...

i love my nexus as much as anyone, but folks, it's time to get a new phone if you want dev results. nobody cares about it now, and with the sensation, g2x ,etc coming out, it's going to be further in the dust. i may keep it just as a token of the first great android phone, or i may sell it, but the sensation is my next phone.
this rom dump is f'n HUGE lol look at that file size, i don't think it could ever make it onto the n1, and if it did it'd probably be slow as dirt.

Ice Cream Sandwich for more HTC smartphones coming in April

http://www.247smartphone.com/mobile/breaking-ice-cream-sandwich-for-more-htc-smartphones-coming-in-april-25642012.html
We knew we could trust HTC, and in fact after the already announced devices a second round is ready to be unveiled and we can already tell you about it.
In fact, thanks to a reliable internal source, we received information about an April release of Android 4.0 with HTC Sense 3.5 for the HTC Desire S, Desire HD and Incredible S. The three devices will receive the new firmware on different days during the month, and will follow the upgrades of the Sensation family (confirmed for February) and the EVO 3D (early March).
Thanks HTC for being always ahead listening to its customers and updating the most devices and not just the top ones.
yeahhhhh!!!!
if you like it press thank you
ps.capy i saw your Thank you...please help us (no more off topic)
Thank you for the news. It's nice to know that our DHDs will continue to receive support from HTC. (Although I know our lovely devs are keeping the home fires burning!)
Maxy
nice! cant wait to see this release of ics. finally have some of the bigger issues/bugs worked out of the roms on xda with this, if the devs don't get to it first!
Not really suprising. Because every android phone should get at least one update in the future. If the take a look at Desire S, it shipped with gingerbread, and because of that it must get at least one update. And because more or less Incredible S or Desire hd hardware is identical, its easy to port to these phones too.
Maybe it's the last update, buy our dev's on xda are the best and we get all updates after the last one.

Timing is fine for me...
I see a lot of notes in recent app changelogs about fixing things for ICS - one thing is the ROM, but all the apps need to be stable too.
Pleased about the confirmation all the same.
so good for my dhd
like sense
thx
This is good news! I think this will give me enough updates until the end of this year, when I can pick a new phone Including working camera and stuff.
i have unlocked my bootloader through htc and want to flash this rom but cant seem to figure out how to do it. Any help or directions would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Just makes it slower and with less memory available.
Get your costum ROM and that's it.
Why should HTC release an official ROM without "HTC" Sense?
