Request to improve hd - Touch HD Themes and Apps

Hi All
This is a request for all developers of xda please help us to make the touch hd
very good more than the iphone. I see that the iphone apps make it very sensationl and THE HD has touchflo3d,very wide screen,G-senso, Accelerometer sensor,can be multi touch and many features and specs more than the iphone.When i see the the i phone with my friend and lots of applications which are very funny and look to HD, really i feel i want to sell my HD and buy iphone
,but i like HD more i do not why so please help us?
I read once on an arabic forum "Why do not HTC has a partnership with any company such as microsoft to open the way for programers to make application for htc company like the iphone ?"
and no one answer,so let we do this coz no one use the hd and get bored.
I hope i could be reconciled

"HD LOVER"

Hi
Firstly what are you asking? Do you want us to make you feel better having purchased an HTC Touch HD and now you envy your friends with iPods/iPhones? I don't think that's going to happen.
There are plenty of good and even great software packages out there for us to choose from. Admittedly not that many amazing games but then the HD is seen as a more professional tool than the ipod which is really a nice looking gadget phone.
If you want daft stuff to impress your mates we have a useless light sabre thing, a fart machine and a great but useless imitation hair clippers program should you wish.
I don't intend to waste my time documenting the difference between the two phone they both have their merits.
Microsoft are setting up an Application store as per apple iTunes etc and this will give more exposure to current software.
My suggestion is use your Touch HD as the best current phone on the market and but an iPod Touch for games and an MP3 player and you have the best of both worlds.
Regards

Are they comming out with the application staor this year?
That would be the smartest thing to do!

This is a very good game. With this game you can impress your friends who have a Iphone if that is what you want.

Iphone for the Artemis

Hi to all you programmers, would it be possible for you to build a rom for the Artemis that will make it look and feel like an Iphone, i think it would be of benefit for the Artemis as it would use the touch screen system more, i have tried many diff, roms and would like to try an Iphone rom for my phone i would go out and by the Iphone but dont have that sought of money. any way i hope someone will let me know if it is possible to build an iphone for the artemis.
Sounds like combining a car and a motorbike and this is not a trike forum. Of course it's possible but you probably won't find any good chef right now that wants to do that. I suppose the best would be to cook it yourself.
apple are an even more closed software company then ms are
and the hardware is not the same
best you can hope for are the iphone skins i'd say
disgusting request, honestly. if you wanted an iphone, then sell your artemis and get the iphone. you don't list where you are, but if you're in the states, a used artemis isn't worth much less than a new unlocked iphone
You could try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349861 I haven't myself, sounds like folks say it's a bit slow on some devices but it looks promising for future versions. Not seen an Iphone in the flesh, but I have seen wm6 which without cooking has the most disappointing power to usability ratio, Iphone at least woke us all up a bit.
Problem too, is that "IPhone" is a registred trademark of Apple, the creator of Iphone like for our PDA, in Thailand, was requested to stop anything about "IPhone" creation. Naturally that was too late and there went source code many time downloaded fron his website. At this time there are many free application that look like "IPhone" and one that you can buy on the net is iLaunch.

iPhone Games on Touch HD ??

Is it possible to install and run g-sen enabled iPhone games on Touch HD ???
Only thing in iPhone which is beating touch Hd hands down are the games available for iphone . One of my colleague is rubbing it in all the time by showing amazing games on iPhone which is not possible on WinMo devices like diamond/pro or now HD.
games
Not sure if there are any games like that, but show him the things HD can do that iphone cant do. My daughter has an iphone, she doesnt play games, but other things such as tons of programs, Tom Tom are just a few. She walks away....
Oh yeah, thats also my question. I had seen on an IPhone of my friend "Super Monkey Ball". I fell completely in love with this game... But for sure, I'll by a Touch HD, can I port this game for windows mobile? Or does it exist already this game for wm? I really want this game.. Or at least, knows anyone here something equal? Greez, cad^^
I don't think it will be possible to port the games - besides the different Operating Systems there is one mayor difference in using the games -> MultiTouch
Yes, but for example "super monkey ball" doesn't use the touchscreen at all (besides for the menue, but this isn't multitouch), its a game only for the g-sensor. So, wouldn't it be possible to play the same game on the touch HD? Its suuuch a great game, really!!! Please, is there some hope? Greez, cad^^

Actually both even have similar processors, but the main problem is they run different operating systems, so if you dont port the application itself you would need some kind of emulator which might not only exceed the present processing power but also might not offer the same experience as if run natively.

Or would it not be possible for someone to figure out how to run Iphone OS on HD? Or is that even possible?
With a screen with twice the pixels than the iphone don't spect the HD to be able to move the screen on games smooth like iphone.I think only games using 3d aceleration can be smoother.... And why is not a Direct 3D standard on WM ?
I really like the bowling game on the iPhone. Is there an equivalent for WM?
Im interested in this to. If we currently cant port iphone games, then what games out there take advantage of the g-sensor and 3D drivers inside of the blackstone? It has to be more then tweeter.
hi !!
Is there any news about that...because to be honnest, I'm a little bit disapointed by HTC... I thought that more games would came for it...
Games!
Yep there don't appear to be any good games, the current crop such as machines at war or call of duty 2 have various bugs because of the high resolution. Apparently the hd actually has a custom graphics chip that HTC wont allow developers to access.
I wish someone could make HTC understand that with this screen if there were games comparable to the iphone the HD would have mass market appeal and blow the iphone away.
yah!!!
That is exactly what I also think... lets wait and see, maybe they need more time
an iphone emulator for hd
hi guys
there are some issue that we should notice :
1. i think we as developers should take participate in this and make emulator to run the iphone gamse on blackstone , waiting for game companies to figure it out is not a good way.
2. the multi touch problem will resolve in WM7 , so just be a little more patient fo it.
3. blackstone really need some thing to resolve this problem , if there is not , iphone will win.
4. please come together to make it right.
thanx all
Unfortunately, an iphone emulator is out of the question -- the two devices are too similar in processing power for one to be able to emulate the other. Running the iphone OS is also unlikely, given how much trouble there is even with running Android. All we can hope for are native ports of games, which, given the current market trend towards the iphone app store (e.g. warfare inc.), is unlikely.
i dont know ive i may post them and ive its freeware but i have a lot of games/funny stuff for the blackstone
dont know ive i may post it because i got it from somewhere else and i think some programs are cracked ive a mod can help ill upload it somewhere and send the link to you so the mod can check ive i may post it

plz pm me the links... ;-)
porting games == having the sourcecode and doing the changes required for it to run on another platform
2 problems with iphone source code which makes it hard to port
1. it's objectiveC rather then c++ / c or c# which are the languages more used on wm
2. it use cocoa the apple version of .net kinda which don't exist on wm
another option is
redoing the whole game
writing it from scratch but thats a lot of work
i think ms has done a good job of persuading devvers to jump ship from iphone to winmo. i think that, by wm7, gaming will be far more commonplace on windows mobile.
games
Well there is a website with some pretty good freeware games. This is the link
www.krenisiswinmobilegamesapps.com
Has games like supermariobros, metalslug, and canabalt. They are all freeware but they are pretty fun.

HD7 VS Desire HD...Which 1??

Ok..A lot of you are going to hate me for this..but I have some serious doubts, so I have made this thread...
A lot of people here have been advising me to go for the HTC Desire HD...
But the problem is, I am in love with the WP7....
I use my phone (Currently Xperia X1) for mostly music, browsing the web and E mail (This is a v important point).
I have nothing to do with apps and all..(I consider it for the children in college) and like I have mentioned, only use it for music (once in a while, may be movies), E mail and surfing.
So any ideas which one should I go for???
I am eternally confused...

I highly recommend going for the HD2. Every bit as good as the DesireHD, but you can flash a bunch of other ROMs if you like. The DesireHD ROM for the HD2 is sweet...the one from Gauner1986. Just give it plenty of time to setup and a few reboots and it is slick as WP7, for the most part. Currently I'm using the Nexus S ROM (pure Gingerbread) from Tytung and it is amazing. You won't be able to do that with the DesireHD. The HD2...the US version...is highly recommended.
If you have no need for apps, then you need to ask whether you'd be okay with being tied to Zune on your desktop for syncing and whether you need flash.
If you need flash on your browser, don't like Zune (although it is quite good actually!) and primarily use gmail with google products then go for the Desire HD
If you don't mind zune and don't use google products extensively, then go for the HD7! the music experience will be better. But movies will depend on which codecs the files are using...zune is quite picky over which avi's it will detect.
Well for music you have the zune player on wp7 which in my opinion is better than the android player but android is able to support more media codecs for videos/music. If you just use standard avi and mp4 for videos and mp3 or aac WP7 is the better choice.
When it comes to the browser you have to decide what you'd rather have, html5 and flash on android or a smooth browsing experience (better scrolling and implementation of pinch to zoom).
I don't really know what you expect from a good email client but for me the one on WP7 works pretty good. I'm a pretty casual user so my use of the email client isn't that deep going. If you have common email accounts (hotmail, yahoo, gmail,..) setup is very easy and push works well. Private domains can be problematic and one thing that annoys me is that media content in the mails aren't loaded automatically but you have to click on them to make them visible.
I don't have a lot of experience with how android handles emails since I never used a android device longer than a few hours.
I hope that helps somewhat (and since I'm a bit of a WP7 fan ofcourse my vote would go to the HD7). But if you have the possibility why not just try them both out?
HD7 all the way... the more I use windows phone 7 the laggier and more beat up android feels regardless of device.... play with it awhile and you'll never want to turn back...
I'd also recommend HD7. The Desire HD is also a good phone, but if music, videos, internet and multimedia is what you're after, I don't think you can go past WP7.
Besides, you said it yourself - you're in love with the OS. Treat yourself
HD2
second MartyLK. Just flashed WP7 onto my HD2 and you can get live services enabled, jst google it. Then you end up with full WP7. I've tried android and was impressed but not keen, however it really is flawless on the HD2. I saw someone suggestion it willl be able to dual boot Android and WP7, so what more could you want? For me its only the unibody and kickstands I'm jealous of now. I imagine its cheaper too? And just in case, it'll always do WM6.5? Which i still love...
hd2
it's HD2
I hate to be a prude but don't listen to the people that only experience a phone based on hacked firmware. Running wp7 on the hd2 is a fantastic feat, but it honestly does not outperform the dell venue pro or any device specifically made to run wp7. My screen sensitivity could be better, there is a considerable amount of lag when loading games/programs, and live services after today will not work with the hack in place. The live experience is considered key to microsoft. I actually like it lol
But I think you should play with both devices if you can for a day or so and decide from there.
If those are the things you use your phone for, I'd say to go with the HD7.
The Desire will give you functionality that isn't quite available on WP7 handsets yet, but since you're not using them, then I'm going to assume that you just want a well implemented experience for the things that you do use.
And for the things that WP7 does, it does extremely well.

What he said. Your specific needs will be taken care of very well. Zune is a much better music player than anything android has. The email integration on WP7 is very good and IE does a good job and will include HTML5 and Flash hopefully by summertime. Apart from that, WP7 has a sleek, quick and responsive interface, which android does not have. HD7 is a good fit for your needs, I'd say.
Since you did say you like WP7, the HD7.
If music, web and email is all you need, than WP7 seems like a fit for you.
The Zune experience is more than capable (blows away the competition, maybe not iOS), the browser is smooth and the email client is so good, that you won't ever need to rely on a third party app.
Get HD2. Apparently you can put android, wp7, anything on it -.-
First of all, THANX A TON all you guys! Now I am 99% sure of my decision (THE HD7!!!!) but just a couple of questions about something you guys replied...Like:

Yep..thats all I need...But I am a little confused about the Zune Backgrounds that keep changing with the artist I listen to,(since the Zune is one of the primary reasons I may buy HD7) HOW does this thing work??
I mean, I (obviously) have the desktop Zune software (which I LOVE BTW) but what about the phone background???
I mean, how does it work on the phone?? Does it download the BG from the net (I live in India BTW)
So..if you guys can help me in this last bit...
BUT again, THANX EVERY1....
Here's some stuff to think about.
If you want a phone that...
Works out of the box with little to no hassle: Both
Has a big community with lots of support: Desire HD
Has a large app store with more mainstream acceptance: Desire HD
Has a lot of power for movies, music, internet, and more: Both
Has an easy to use interface: HD7 is slightly more intuitive
Is very fast with more complex gestures: HD7
Supports turn-by-turn out of the box: Desire HD
Has a large media ecosystem with lots of content: HD7
I have both and must admit that after using the HD7 since launch, you become increasingly frustrated with the Lag of the Desire HD.
The Desire HD is a Fantastic phone, probably the best and smoothest Android you can buy. But the OS is not nearly as smooth or fluid as WP7.
The main benefits of each phone for me are:
Desire HD - Fully customisable - There's pretty much nothing can't customise
WP7 - Silky smooth and much easier to actually use day to day
To be honest the media player aspect of both phones is pretty much identical. They both play movies & music very well, albeit the way you navigate and use the media players on them is very different. But untill I see Android running as well as WP7, i'll be leaving the Desire HD with the mrs. and won't be giving them a second thought

Just what I wanted to hear. This Desire HD lagging is something I am getting to hear almost everywhere. But its good cause, its directly telling me HD7 is superb..which it is and I have made my choice I think....But again, the confusion amongst the WP7 phones...Mozart OR HD7?? Or even Samsung Omnia 7???

Android currently has more features than WP7 (cut n paste, voice turn by turn nav etc. For what you want (email, music etc.) WP7 will be fine.
I find IE on the HD7 very good, only thing I miss from my Desire is text reflow, but meh no biggie, there are also alternative browsers for WP7 in the market place.
The backgrounds are downloaded automatically form the internet, it has always worked perfectly for me, some people have had problems getting the backgorunds to display but there is a thread on here which tells you how to fix any issues you may have (I think it is to do with song ID tagging). It is a really cool feature BTW.

[Q] Buying a New Phone HD Desire HD (intially inclined towards HD2 and then HD7)

Hey tomorrow I have to purchase a new phone for myself.
Previously i owned HTC Viva wm 6.1 phone. I was very happy with it as i can remote desktop my servers, install, play with lot of apps, can view my office docs etc, copy data from any PC but thing missing were GPS and a faster CPU. And at the END that phone was stolen.
Meanwhile i used a cheap Nokia as in interim phone.
HD2 launched: HD2 and Wp7 announcement was made. I was daily visitor of HD2 forums (XDA) learned it was a cool device for me. then the fear of wp7 not upgrading on wp7 dealyed my purchase.
I eagerly followed all wp7 presentations, seminar, webcast etc and believed its a good os by good company.
HD7 launched: Loved its specs and was really looking cool, especially the facebook integration and was very excited. Loved its speed and positive reviews But i looked some of the programs like skype which did not have app for wp7 and copying data only through pissed me.
I didn't liked Android because of its look and feel. and thread by me supports this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624884
Desire HD launched: That one exicted me the specs similiar to HD2 and HD7. I said hey why not look at android when whole world is going after android. And I found it has everything what windows mobile provided and a it more like resolution, 720p videos , google voice support free, skype app. and top of that htc sense , htc offline gps maps locater, www.htcsense.com feature. So I have decided to buy this one.
Hey this is not a flamewar topic and dont start here I like both of them infact are cool to have. If possible I would love to have the wm6 like customization on hd7 or wp7 like UI on DHD both ways are good
Now my questions.
Best feature i like on HD7 is live tiles and facebook integration and live update.
Can we get similiar experience on DHD.
How is the sound quality (call) as well music quality through Headphones.
Is there anything I will miss If I go with DHD not buying HD7?
Sorry I posted in the wrong forum. was trying to post in DHD forum. Mods can u move this to Desire HD forums.

Ehrm.. Well, yeah. The entire WP7 experience. I.e. a phone that just works.
Although, reading your post I think a HTC HD2 would be the perfect device for you as you could run WM6.5, Android or WP7. Hell, you could dualboot your pick of two if you so wanted.
Get the HD7 made for Wp7 and works well. I only wish it had an SLCD.

Wow, there's long thought that you have..
Anyway, it's the same thing going through my mind.. actually, my dhd is a mistake that i make.. originally, i had place my orders on hd2.. Until that thing came to the store after 3 weeks of waiting, it was broke, not functioning at all, not even start up, even with charger.. they even told me that was the only stock, and if i want a replacement, i have to wait for another 1 month, what the heck..
Then, the store offered me wp7, and i said, i want ONLY hd7, none others.. after 2 weeks of waiting, the only thing that came was htc mozart and 1 unit of dhd to put on demo.. as i want only 4.3" screen, i buy the dhd because of i need phone asap..
And, it was the most beautiful mistake i ever made.. The phone is fast, vibrant and huge.. And the ability to hack (hd2 is far more hackable) puts my dhd stay in front of current htc release version on android.. Use gingerbread from cm7, and love it more every minute..
I would say, go for it, buy dhd, and u'll be amaze..

Do you think it still needs window 7 looks, because believe me, you can do lots, try rooting your phone, adding a custom rom,
i even put a theme together, with more apps on one row in the ap drawer, transparent all over, to give it a glassy effect, even the right hand key you can change it to whatever you want!
loads you can do with android, i hate windows phones now but was a huge fan of them, previous phones include, xda orbit2, htc touch hd, hd2
welcome to android
Welcome to android. I can't speak for wp7 facebook integration, but dhd has enough of it(for my taste) , you get more apps, roots and customizations . I read your post about different os, you sound like someone in need for a wm 6 is with a modern feel, well android is just for you. I love both my phones, and I wait for official cm to remove all the bugs from my hd2

Thanks ikhzter and deckoff...... Phone is perfect and everything is working like a charm without any modifications. and in noway m missing wp7 and HTC sense has doen good work. People is automatically populated with emails, pics and nos, calender has the entries for Birthdays, etc- amazing. Voice Navigation is working, I Get gps fix in secs when outside, sad Google voice navigations is not availabe for India (heard brut all works but can we install without rooting). the only problem is Battery but its only two days old lemme me check it can improve. I m loving it
MODS : there are double threads with the same title can we merge them . Sorry for the trouble

Takes at least a week before the battery behaves like it should
I had a HD2 and loved it really was deliberating about getting a DHD as i literally had one already with HD2 and android.
I really liked the windows homescreen with CHT mods and then being able to pop into and out of android seemed the perfect system for me.
But about 3-4months now with the DHD i've put a few custom roms on and i love it, so silky smooth and fast, its smooth in a way the HD2 won't ever be purely because of hardware.
My HD2 was brilliant but the DHD is just awesome IMO

Update: Battery is working like it should be ....(3g & flash disabled, I will write a threat for battery improvment ) . ..This is the best OS + Hardware Combination. It has the flexibility of Windows Mobile and intuitivness / smoothness of iphone. meaining best of both worlds.
But I m fed up with one thing with this phone, whenever i took my cell out of my pocket colleagues asks for it, thrn i hav to demo them and as word of mouth spreads more pppl want to see it. Chicks ask for it please give me ur cell for five mins etc etc....
