What about a petition to get an android ROM from HTC ? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

I am not very good at that but I am totally fed up with Windows Mobile 6.1...
HTC has all the code to put android on Diamond...
Whether they can create a great buzz by opening all the drivers code for Diamond, wether create the ROM themselves but :
LET US HAVE a quickly a stable (not tweacked) ANDROID on Diamonds !!!
Anyone to take the flag and move on ?
Cheers.

I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but I don't think HTC will have any interest at all to offer Android on any existing devices. There is simply no money in it.
HTC will want to use Android to market new devices.
That said, make a petition and I'll sign it. There are services for petitions availible on the internet.

Bye!

The biggest problem here is, that HTC has nothing to say about this. Rather try google

Full Tmobile Wm6!!!!!

I HAVE FULL WM6! NOT BETA! FULL TMOBILE BRANDED WM6 FOR THE DASH!!!
i have good news, and bad news
good: its AMAZING, every issue was solved, i cant get this thing to hang, or find ANY problems, EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET THIS!!!!
bad: it was installed onto my device by HTC, and i have no idea how to get it off, if someone can tell me how to download it so others can use it let me know
very kewl post the rom version radio version ext... that would be great. screenshots would be good too
it LOOKS exactly like the beta, just runs properly, and ALOT faster, and uses less ram, even beter then after removing snapin from the beta version
windows ce 5.2.1236
build 17741.0.2.1
radio version 4.1.13.34_02.79.90
htc messed with your rom? Was it in for service or purchased this way?
why would htc do that?
HTC as a whole dident, i know people, but this person wouldent give me the file, but he did updat my dash
thats cool
did he say if the htc version was ready yet?
i wonder why they are waiting until may 4 if the rom is ready now...
its part of a licence agreement with microsoft, microsoft wont let them release it yet
lol. figures that ms would want to control everything.
maybe it has something to do with live messenger and live update.
can't wait to check it out
Sorry I do not mean to pretend to know more than HTC or the original poster (being sincere here, no sarcasm), but I have an OMAP 2430 with Wm6, with an awful H264 decoder issue that I cant fix. (DSP level error). So unless these guys are using other hardware or DSPs I would expect at least 1 more version... sorry cant say my deadline.
Official Windows m\Mobile 6 Rom
This rom will be available for download on t-mobiles website May 4th. all dash an mda owners will be able to download it free from their my t-mobile account.

where did you hear that? I was thinking more like June because of todays announcement by HTC.
MDA ????? i thought it was only going to be the dash for an upgrade not the mda??? thats why i got rid of the mda and kept my dash. Any clarification on this if it is TRUE?
thanks
Does that ROM have other languages than US english ?
So is there no way to get this ROM off his phone?

I guess I'm one of the few who like the t9 option.
I find it makes text messaging and websurfing much faster.

I can't wait neither! Not only is this ROM coming out that day, but I'll be finally done with my finals!

android on i780

Any project or ppl working on this?
Not that i have heard of, i would have thought it is pretty unlikely to happen to be honest. Probably more chance of it on the I900.
I dont think our I780 user group is big enough for there to be the demand needed to make it worth someone doing it.
i dun think so man, it is a great challenge to do tat
i really wait eagerly for the day that i port my i780 to android! some people got to be working on this

Dear,
it's looks like cool if samsung i780 could run android too...
any one want to try this ?
thx
Who is still interested by putting Android on his i780 ? I am personnaly interested ! who can upload the rom ?
i think, the first thing we should do is download the SDK and try to dump it into i780 if possible
thx

We know that is some part of the world, the i780 is or is going to be distributed with Android installed on it, so for sure, maybe trying to dump these roms & to install them on ours, should be the first & best simple step, no ?
That's why I was asking for Android ROM as it should exists for i780 in some part of the world
Anyway, I just installed the Eclipse environment for the Android SDK... in the case of....
ME!
I would certainly like to run android on my i780.
The one reason i got it, was because of the touchscreen+qwerty setup, but the touch screen is pretty much useless as it is.... Well except from playing Lemmings CS, that is.
Bugs and a terrible UI are the main drawbacks of this device.
The only way I have managed to get sort of a finger friendly interface on it, is with spb mobile shell and the 320x320 theme pack. But it is not a todayplugin, and so "pop-ups" does not work properly, and it will go back to the WM today-page when clicking the end-button or exiting many apps.
WM was never made for a mobile phone device. Neither for being navigated without a stylus. I believe that is the main reason why it suck so much at both. Android on the other hand...
And from what I have seen so far, it looks nice. Me wants.
edit: Seems like the Koogan Agore was never released? A comment somewhere seems to point the finger at google an some google certification problem.. Still, maybe someone could mail them and ask nicely for the ROM?
I hate saying this, but is there any news? Maybe someone spotted some news on the web?
I found a video which showed two Samsungs running Android. The Omnia and the i780/Epix.
I'm searching for a couple of minutes now, but I can't find it anymore.

Looks promising indeed! Do you know how stable is this?
so has there been any significant breaktrhough regarding android and the i780
I had the wm6.0, then the 6.5 and now the 6.1, but I find them all to be much too unstable and to fidly to even bother learning more about them.
I did like the wm6.5 interface a lot and I believe android would be a class above everything else regarding UI
Also the guy on the blog posted an image with the android.

WM6.5 for ultimate 9502

Hello guys!
I know that you guys support only HTC phones, but duo to your amazing works, i decided to ask here. I have I-mate ultimate 9502 wm6.1 and i would i to have wm6.5 (very jealous lol). My question is:- anyone knows if there is any cooked wm6.5 for ultimate devices?? or if there is any cooked wm6.5 that can be used on 9502?
Thanks
I'm using 9502 and 6150.
And it seems this site is HTC Developers or something like all-except-imate developers. They won't create subforum for imate, not even one. And if I ask something about imate, ppls here will just switch to pretend-that-there-is-no-post-about-imate mode... even if they see it, they just banish ppls that ask about imate stuffs.
And personally I think this site, XDA-Devs is so bad, not only they so HTC-crap oriented. Many ppls here just cant solve any small problem, for ex: my Windows Live Messenger Mobile's emoticon suddenly disappeared for unknown reason..
I ask it here and no one able to solve that...
How do you expect ppls here CAN or ABLE to break imate ROM lock to create new WM6.5 or upcoming WM7 ROM?
I'm so pessimist with people here, they're so HTC oriented and don't care about imate users. They should change their name to HTC-Developers so ppls know that this site is not for all PDA...
its so sad and disheartening...
but thank god i have a htC
thank god i have a diamond lol

XDA is a specific kind of device manufactured by HTC. XDA's all share a common architecture which means the unlocking and ROM flashing process is very similar. The Xperia X1 for instance was manufactured by HTC and thus shares this architecture. Devices such as the imate ultimates are very different. Perhaps they could be figured out too, but unfortunately there just may not be enough popularity for those devices. Whether or not a device will have XDA support is a factor when I decide to purchase a wm device.
Perhaps someone else can give a better explanation of what exactly an XDA is but hopefully you kind of get the idea from my explanation.
I know XDA, it the old kind of PDA, before PDA (from Wikipedia).
What I think is: even 9502 got the same hardware as Diamond, so what's the diff?
I can use Diamond's driver and HTC things in my imate, so what? diff architecture? I don't think so...

honestly not to blow your bubble but i doubt you will ever be able to update winmo 6.5. as for a cooked rom , you are definetly not in the right forum . i checked on google for you and theres so custom roms having 6.5 or even 6.1 lol . so i think you could just try spb mobile shell to give your phone a new look . . sayonara
No, you can't since 9501 got more advanced function like Quadband GSM, Tiband UMTS, TV-Out and many more. Plus the ROM Update is locked with special password.
But the rest, the basic architechture (MSM7200) is the same as Diamond.

Hi, that is the difference between imate and htc, you mention it.
And I guess, not just that, they can share the same architecture, but there's must be many differences between the two pdas.
let say an xda atom comparing to hp ipaq 6282(cmiiw), they both hv same hardware configuration, but they have really different drivers to use.
And maybe that's why there's no such cooked rom 4 imate,etc
Thanks for the suggestion, I wish it had worked.

No, won't work, even if you have an HTC device and try to install a ROM that was intended for another HTC device still won't work, ROMs are device specific.
Btw, I had an Ultimate 9502 but I sold it because of the limited support that Imate devices have and I got an HTC instead.
I don't think you'll be getting any more support anytime soon because the company has been closed.

Yup, you're right. But I think there a bunch of clever devs here that can oversome this lil problem I guess... Or my guess is wrong? Devs here are not as clever as I think so they can't even break this ROM lock?
I'm trying to cook a ROM now for Ultimate 9502, tho i'm so professional but i know how to read those amazing threads that you guys have writen. My question now is:- is there anyone who can help i case i need some professional advices??

WOW! ^^ Yup, there's some people here like Shonky or casouzaj that can help you... I can help you a little, but not for doing program disassembly. I had tried to reverse engineer the EUM for flashing but couldn't find the solution for ROM lock. But I'm able to confirm that the camera.exe for 9502 is natively capable of GPS-Photo but lack of required registry code/system files. And the A-GPS is supported but no one can utilize the API. For A-GPS, you can check in the registry, there is a key named HKLM\Software\Mobi\agps, inside there's some keys with blank value. Tried to fill them but got no luck. Hope you can continue developing ROM for our devices. Thank you very much. ^^
You are welcome man. What i really need to know now is how to find the damn XIP start, i have read maybe all the threads about xip but still the damn RomMaster is giving me an error. In my opinion there is somethinig wrong when i splitnb and then imgfsfromnb, it gives me an imgfs that has a size of 0 is that the right way u did it?
Hmmm, from the way that I did....
I just read it somewhere that the core and XIP for imate series ROM is compressed. Therefore need additional tool to extract it. So we can't extract it by usual HTC ROM method.
And I just realized that, and that's explain why my compiled ROM got smaller size than the original ROM even though I didn't alter anything, just decompile and recompile.

Android rtl support and compare between HD2 and Desire

Hi;
I wanna to buy my first smartphone.
and after some researches I aim at HTC Desire and HTC HD2.
another notice is that my language is Persian (Farsi) and It's a right to left language. Does HTC Desire support my language plus English?
As you Know in a web cruise. We face to a lot of languages so it's better that they seem correctly in phone screen
Is there anyway to solve this problem with Desire OS (Android 2.1)
And should I Buy HD2 instead of Desire? Why?
Also PLEASE CONTRIBUTE IN THE POLL
Regards ...
A google search says it doesn't, not without installing it anyway (you need to be able to use ADB to do that).
Having said that, I'm pretty sure I have arabic in my settings menu (which google search also says isn't avaliable) =/

And that finally can I add Persian language after buying HTC Desire
Also PLEASE CONTRIBUTE IN THE POLL
Hi,
regarding your poll, I think the HD2 is too big for a mobile device.
regarding the Arabic/Farasi support (and all other right-to-left languages), ... Google android does support this (right-to-left rendering), but it does NOT show those languages by default (natively) meaning you cannot read Arabic characters (by default) in Web/SMS/emails, .. etc
however there are some Arabic developers that made that happen in android 1.6 and I believe they will work on it for the android 2.1 also.
check this post
https://sites.google.com/a/ut.utm.edu/arabic-android/
http://blog.amr-gawish.com/39/arabic-language-in-android/
If you are not very familiar with rooting (and do not want to be ), and you HAVE to HAVE Farsi in your phone, than go for the HD2, buy it from your country so it would come with Farsi by default.
BTW, in Google android issues, the number two ranked issue on the Android list is "arabic (and other right-to-left) language support for android". many people are asking for it.

Very Thanks Dear Irkan
I want to know more about rooting and Its manner If you can please ...
And that Is rooting possible for android 2.1 now? If it isn't ; so what's the duty ?
Thanks a lot
well, .. it is possible (the Nexus one has been rooted) but i think (and many other think the same) that the Desire rooting (even though that it has Android 2.1 as Nexus 1) the procedure of rooting might be a little different, but it will happen when the device reaches the developers. and we are going to find out.
My best answer to you is to wait for the device to reach the devs here (probably 2 weeks from now) and see when the device is rooted, after that you can safely order the Desire, and follow the procedure of rooting the desire and then apply the Arabization (and Farsi-zation if I may add)
check this thread
Arabic/Farsi Language on nexus one.2 March 2010
the procedure of Arabizing the desire will be almost the same as the Nexus One (more or less), but the rooting process might be different, thats why you should wait and see how exactly the Desire is going to be rooted ...
Thanks Thanks Thanks Dear irkan

Thank you very much,
But why will it void the warranty as it legal?
and Do you know that I should ask who (specific developer) to add 4 letters to Arabic languages to become Persian?
Thanks a lot
It will void the warranty because they need a scapegoat They need something to point to if your phone breaks, so they don't have to fix it for free Plus there's the off chance that you actually do break it by doing something root-related

Hi,
As HTC Desire was rooted ; How can we add Farsi/Arabic language to it?
Is It completely similar to add Arabic/Farsi Language on nexus one ?

Check http://WWW.handheldusers.com/forum ,I have added some updates regarding desire and Persian support
It supports part of the whole thing,
There is preview custom Rom supporting Arabic/persian which can be found at modaco

[Q] HTC_Desire A8181 to WM6.5

Is it possible to put a WM6.5 rom in the HTC Desire in stead of android.
It's a dutch KPN phone.
I ask it for a friend, who couldn't get a HTC HD2 anymore by contract.
So he has now the Desire but with Android while he was counting on WM6.5.
I hope there is one so he can work more suitable with the Desire.
He also want to use the phone as internet port for his laptop trough USB, but i can't find any solutions for this for him without costs.
Thanks in advance everyone.
I so want to subscribe to this thread.... I can see the answers already!
"WHY?" "Are you serious?" "Is this a joke?" PPPP
May I suggest the "search" feature?
To answer your question. NO it is not possible. Winmo is closed source and costs money per copy. So fist someone would need to ensure and/or port all drivers to work on desire and spent money on each copy installed on a phone.
TL;DR no it wont work.
-.-
Not again.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Oke, before everybody ask me if i'm crazy to go to WM6.5, the answer is NO !!
But my friend is used to WM6.5 and is an older person who is not familiar with Android and has difficulties to change every time with all this electronical stuff.
KPN did not told him about Android and when you unpack the phone and allready used him once, than you can't return it. So thats why i asked these 2 questions.
I'm sorry if i hurt someone.
Thanks allready for the replies
I dont think that he will not get used to android.... so just give him some days.
oke, we will see what happens.
Thanks all
