Hello all,
To be clear I'm not asking for a ROM, I'm asking if the XDA-Dev tools can be used to produce a TG01 ROM?
I've just got one on an upgrade and I'm not sure if I like it enough yet, one of the big deals would be if I could take a dump of the factory installed ROM and then play around trying to get it how I like it. And then I geuss a follow on question would be, can the HTC roms be used on the TG01?
I know that XDA-Dev is really for HTC devices, just think this is the best source on the net to ask WinMo brains a question.
Cheers
Until there's a way to flash your modified ROM back (without bricking the device too), what's the point of playing with the ROM dump reconstruction?
To answer your question, yes, you can use some of the tools found here with TG01 ROM dump, e.g. to rebuild IMGFS. Most probably existing tools won't be capable of creating a flashable ROM image in the format TG01 expects/supports though. Especially since this format is not known yet AFAIK.
Hi! I'm new around here.
Anyway, I've been wondering something and figured that if anyone knows it'll be the gurus at xda-developers.
Is a way to make use of the HTC Hero's multitouch/pinch-zoom functionality in your own applications (whether using Android SDK or NDK), and if so, how?
Preferably without the end user having to root his phone.
Regards,
Andreas
Hi all,
I was wondering how people creates custom ROMs. Does it work (more or less) like unnattented install of Win xp (with nlite software for example), or like custom Ubuntu CD images?
I would like to create my own rom (with a bunch of friend), but I don't know where to start, and what skills are required (programming, or just good computer / software knowledge?), etc.
If anyone can help me, and give me some hints / tutos, I would be very happy!
Thanks in advance.

Since HTC hasn't released the Hero kernel source, creating custom rom's will be quite difficult. But if you want to try on porting rom's from sapphire 32a roms or make a quick dirty rom check these threads:

it is possible to run win ce / WM on desire?
No
Not that I'm aware of. You can't run Win Mob full stop.
Is it possible to dual boot with 2 different Custom MODS?? Like OpenDesire and Pays Rom for instance... Or a custom ROM and the official one that came with the phone..

This would be brilliant , they have android on the hd2, why can't we have winmo on the desire
+1 for a winmo 6,5 port
Would be great if you could multiboot, like with different sd cards.
But why would anyone want WinMo on the HTC Desire... Android for the win!
this is xda, this place has always been powered by "Because we can!", so don't ask such questions
Who in their right mind is going to put time and effort into porting a what is basically dead OS to the Desire ? Even Microsoft aren't bothering with WM anymore
Doesn't have to be 6.5...
But some WP7 features seem quite neat though.
I second this request! (if it is a request)
It's not possible since wm is not open source like android

back to the dual boot point, we can boot from a sd card so it is possible to dual boot 2 diff android roms

You are right on that. But Microsoft provides bootroms to test their emulator. Using this rom for dualbooting would be legit I guess..?

I think you miss the point - whilst there is a legal aspect here, I think the main point is not the license associated with open source, but the source code itself.
As Android is open source, it can be compiled to different targets, and deep changes can be made to the source code to get everything working.
As WinMo is not open source, you do not have this luxury, and so the porting exercise would be much, much harder.

Well.. I didn't look at this closely enough.. but Microsoft also provides an emulator for testing their roms.. using this "microsoft device emulator"s sources would make it a bit easier I guess? Well.. you can click on "license" on the following link.. but I just get a "page not found".. so I don't know any details.. but here is the link I found:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...ED-6C95B261DDCD&displaylang=en&displaylang=en
I'm not a dev.. just did a bit research on this one and found their offical emulator.. besides that, there are also a few emulators for the WinMo environment.. some even written in Java I believe..
Again I don't know if they used some code from MS, or just wrote everything from scratch.. I don't really have enough knowledge here.. but I thought maybe I could share my thoughts and get some answers.. and maybe the information I found was a bit helpful?
Thanks anyway

At first im sorry for my bad englisch.
Back to multi boot of desire.
How we can implementing boot from sd-card and back.
How can i boot from sd-card?
What is with data.img, is it nessesary to build an other image or can i use the stock-rom to boot it from sd-card ( i think its unpossibele) ?
Is it right we need to patch hboot ?
is it possibel to load an other bootloader? (grub or somthing else)
I know many questions, but im faszinated of the idea "dual boot on my desire"
Greatings

This would be a nice, becouse there is some apps that newer will be on android, and there is people that need this apps.
Dont tell me buy win mobile phone, becouse I get droid from my company. I m not programer, so I cant help on that way. I can only tell that i will donate some money to someone who make native winmobile app install / run on android via emulation or custom rom for desire.
Tnx for your time and i support this thread.

im really interested in this as well ,i have just got a htc desire hd and would love to run both wp7 and android ,wp7 for xbox live is this any new info on this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UE-LVuudEk&feature=player_embedded
So its possible on the DHD!
Maybe on the old Desire too.
AFAIK the Desire's internal memory is not large enough for dual boot... I mean some ROMs have trouble fitting on the partitions now so what do you think would happen with 2 ROMs lol.. you'd have no space for apps... and if you did somehow manage to run a ROM from your SDCARD like you can with legendary devices like the touch pro where you run haret.exe from the phone which boots android - it would be very slow and impractical. So I doubt we will ever see this happen.

Hi there!
I have a question:
Is it possible to create (or may be it already exists) a ROM with following features:
Android 2.3.x
Sense 2.1
RTL (hebrew) support (built in, or ROM should be deodexed)
Without any kind of a2sd/data2sd built in .
The reason I ask is I am using Link2SD solution for Desire's small storage problem.
It turns out that link2sd is not so popular, though IMHO it is very good solution.
Anyway, all ROMs I have encountered so far use some kind of xxx2sd solution,
which I am not interested in, and that interferes with link2sd.
So if you can point me to such ROM or create one, it would be great!
Thank you in advance!
