Android on Touch HD - Touch HD Themes and Apps

Hello all
Does anyone know if it’s possible to run android on the Touch HD and where it can be downloaded from? I would like to give it a try to see if it’s quicker on the net as the wm base is painfully or could it be classed as suicidally slow
Cheers Jez

Have you even searched this forum?
1. Not its not fully functioning.
2. There is no release date.
3. Don't hassle the developers.

Seriously... There are new threads asking for Android on the HD popping up almost every day - why doesn't anybody use the search function? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524898) Or check the wiki? (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlackstoneLinux)

No there isnt any ROM that works with touchflo for the hermes, only buttonflo, and that sucks I tried it once and its crap (as you know).
I searched and searched on every forum or blog or google.com whatever but no luck for the Hermes. I guess we have to wait to get our hands on the Kaiser. That supports touchflo (As far as I know. After a few adjustments)

I think the hermes is one of the best devices that HTC ever had. But the Kaiser is just a level higher..
So Kaiser will be my next device..
I don't buy it that the Hermes doesn't "support" TouchFlo. What does TouchFlo require that is so much more sophisticated than ButtonFlo?
If the dang Artemis can support it, why not Hermes.. lol

From what i understand it is somehting to do with the touch.dll, but i dont know what, why or how!!
but i do agree with you that it doesnt require any special hardware so i cant understand y it wouldnt work, but im equally sure that there is a very good reason as to why it wont work.
We need to find someone smarter than us to explain it to us!!
Exactly. Not to mention the fact that I have an app on my Hermes that does that exact little "flick and roll" thing and it works fine.
What application is that Stpete?

Should have touchflo working shortly, testing now. Watch the kitchen thread, that's where it'll happen.

This first one is from bepe's base. Still getting my feet wet with the new hardware. I'm open to suggestions
I would base it off the official release that came out this morning Matt.. In all seriousness, the other ROMs are going to be obsolete.. if you can make it with the official release I will beta test for you all day long.

I thought the ones JJ and sleuth came out with were better than the official? they have better build numbers etc, JJ and sleuth have developer roms available.
(if i am incorrect please correct me, i would actually like to know, thanks in advance!!)
the new JJ rom Black Satin are based off the official release of the Dopod 838pro rom that came out this morning... which is why they werent released until this morning since they were RTM .. new build numbers...17944.0.3.1 ...

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.

Touchflo 3d for Blackstone?

Hi there,
can anyone give me a link of where to download Touchflo 3d for Touch HD??
I've recently found a thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470164 which compressed whole manila files to make the Touchflo 3d relatively smaller and faster to the original one, but this is for diamond only, I'm looking for something that suit for my touch hd, if anyone got what i'm looking for, please let know, many thanks!!
wrong post ?
dude, the Touch HD comes with Touchflo as standard, why on earth would you want to download it again ??
Also this is a the wrong part of the forum to post on !!, if you havent got it, then contact your phone provider

I believe lynne02191 is asking for a compressed/sleeker version of HD Manila (i.e., the images in Manila's qtc files are compressed) that runs more smoothly, etc. than the stock version, and this would be the right place to discuss this, IMHO.
I think with the inherent capabilities of the HD, as well as the wonderful cooked ROMs people are making, Manila runs very well, and there is plenty of extra memory on the HD with it running, so a compressed/sleeker version may not be a priority.
Just my opinion, but this might explain why no one is trying to do something similar to the thread you linked, which was done to make HD manila run smoothly on the Diamond. Then again, someone may already be doing this, I do not know.
You may want to look here ( see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470798) and look into the compression process.

Hi sk806,
Thanks for reply!
I've already been searching for a while, and I didn't found any version that is manila compressed but several .cabs which claimed are ported from the original blackstone manila.
after that, I installed all of them, but the result disappointed me, since I've encounterred many problems from the procedures.
anyway, like what u said, there are plenty of nice ROMs around there which run HD manila very well, so I won't bothering meself from searching anymore

KWBR's ROM; 'a Touch of HD' uses Chainfire's CFC

i tried the "live patch" before flashing a full ROM but it didn't work on the HD, Chainfire is too busy at the moment to fix that up

[REQ]Developers wanted for HTC Sense UI Clone for HTC Touch HD

Since it's unlikely we'll ever see the Sense UI, in the iteration that currently is available on the HTC Hero, i'm proposing that as a community we try and do our own clone for the Touch HD.
I know that a couple skins already exist, and kudos to their creators, but they're only surface skins, and i'm interested in proposing something that goes a little deeper.
How many people would be interested in contributing to the project?
Well the impression is that Manilla 2.5 is the new Sense for WM phones correct me if im wrong.
which is why i said the iteration of Sense UI that appears on the Hero device.
Dont waste your time. Its on android and you might aswell put your efforts in the backstone-android project here
http://blog.androidkernel.org/
Its not as easy as porting the UI from one winmo device to another. Think how long it has taken for the x1 panels to appear fully working. On top of this, it is in another OS and so that will bring difficulties in itself. Lets not forget that the hero isnt even a WVGA device.
I was thinking it could be done on top of another platform like even pointui. I don't expect it to be easy, but i don't think its impossible. Maybe saying the word port is incorrect.
There is nice new skin for Mobile Shell 3 which makes your phone look like with Sense UI.
http://www.mobilecustom.fr/forum/index.php/topic,2174.0.html
I already use this
Yes i know about the skins, i made reference to them in the first post, but they're only one layer deep, i want something approximating tf3d v2+ in its depth, but that looks like the Android version of HTC Sense UI.

TV guide

Hi Guys,is there a tv guide that works on our HDs,updated by connecting to Windows mobile,maybe the weeks programs on freeview.
Don
I'm also looking for this!
Me too, but for Bulgarian TV.
Doesn't anyone out there know of anything.It would be handy.
I am using TV-Browser.
A user called "Benne" wrote a viewer for WindowsMobile called TV-Browser Mini.
You have to install the desktopversion of TV-Browser. For the export to TV-Browser Mini you need a plugin provided by Benne.
I hope this is what you are looking for.
Best regards
here try this. I use this on my Touch Pro2 and works good, some of the menus are slightly off but still very very good. I forget where exactly I found it, I actually have been using it for almost a year on my Touch Pro and then my Imagio and now my Touch Pro2.
you could try asking the developer of OnTV
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548653
You can also try SPB Tv.
Thanks for the suggestions,lads, RKnight's one won't work on the HD but the last one is promising if I can get the listings to stay on the HD after updating as the weather does.I have asked the developer.
Don
I was thinking about developing a TV-guide for the touch HD. There are some open source XML sources out there that could be used. I went as far as getting a fully working prototype up and running on my own device.
If its something that people want I could get it get it to a release build?
Yes Please
