This is how smooth the Hero SHOULD be!

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...291737/this-is-how-smooth-the-hero-should-be/

That looks super smooth! It greatly improves the overall experience and will probably lure me back to Rosie in favor of the default home screen

I cant see any difference between that and my hero. I get no lag and switching between screens is just as smooth and fast.

yeah, i agree with you. my hero Runs just as fast with no lag And i have the Flipping Clock!

Wait a minute! Now, How do we know thats an actual update coming up?? The video was made by modaco and posted at his website... You can clearly see it contains the superuser app and the market enabler app on the phone. An OFFICIAL VIDEO with the update would never have such apps installed!
Like i said before my hero runs just as fast and i could make a video to prove it.... But this is NO UPDATE PREVIEW OF WHATS COMING UP!
and now im thinking, everytime modaco makes a post in these forums, he links to his website where the actual posts are made... this is not the first time...
Is such promotion allowed on these forums...

Hah, it is a video of the upcoming update!
I do say on the video that i've installed a few apps, and it is rooted (I said that on the first video take (that I corrupted by pulling the SD from the camera!)), not sure about the one I posted.
There are definitely considerable performance improvements in the new ROM, particularly when i've got all my usual stuff installed and running - Rosie remains smooth as butter (which it didn't before!)
Of course I link to my forum where the posts are made, i'm posting here for information!

I have a pink Hero at the moment, maybe i'll boot them with the same setup and do a comparison vid.
Love the conspiracy theory tho minogue.

Paul, I think you're doing an awsome job regarding the Hero!! You're one of the guys posting informative and great guides. Keep on doing that!
Why post the same info twice?? Just link it as you're doing allready!

Well my camera isnt the best. Or should i say i dont know how to configure it nicely for best picture quality, but sure. Ill have it up and running in a few hours as me is doing something right now...Ill even pm you when video is ready...

k. i just got done recording the video. i will go ahead and upload it to youtube and then share the link..

I should just point out that now i've installed all my stuff I KNOW it's smoother (and hell, you'd expect it to be, it's a newer build).

well im sure the newer build will be alot smoother when it comes out.
Hopefully it comes out soon, however i have made very little to no modifications to my hero to get it running as fast as i have, so im guessing that once i do my own modifications with the newer build ill be able to have things running better and faster than ever!

What is the build no?

Hi Paul,
Great to hear that the updated rom improves the performance of the hero.
I'd like to ask if the speed of loading pages in the browser is somewhat improved?

Windows Phone 7 Series on the HD2

I know most of you who clicked this thread would probably think this is another thread that asked if it was possible. Well I'm here to share the great news to HD2 owners... http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2381 read it up!
Apparently a russian team has been working on it and looks like theyre working (from screenshots) and a beta release should be soon
PS MOD: if it is against the rules to paste links from htcpedia pls delete thread. thanks

Again, no video. It's easy to fake screenshots. On the other hand, why would Tom destroy his reputation?
Let's wait and see...
I think I'm going to keep my HD2 a little longer. Not that it's likely that I will prefer WP7S over WM6.5 or Android, but I'm curious to try it...

tom is a pretty reputable source, i dont think that he'd do that either.

It was also confirmed by a Mod in the HD2 ROM development thread. Lets wait and see..

easy to fake a screen shot with shadow and glare and perfect reflection...

A prominent person such as him is not a person who would let his name get dragged in the mud like that, I'm inclined to believe this is the real deal. Its alot sooner than I couldve ever hoped for, but with the lack of software available at this point anyone trying this without an IRONCLAD way of downgrading is a hopeful idiot IMO.
Still, fantastic news nonetheless.

Of course, if you display it on the phone.
Very easy, actually.

Well, Tom actually says the pictures are coming from Russian hackers, and I'm a member at the forum where this was posted initially. These guys are very reputable and have proved more than once that they have some good sources, but they could play a joke as well.

Good sources? Afaik they just hacked an HTC server.
But you're right, those guys are credible.
Too bad they couldn't make a video, though

Video is up guys
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJCFdojbjh8

And that video doesn't look like it's that Throttle Launcher WP7 skin?

not to me...
I say bring it on though

Video seems suspicious to me as you can't see if it's really an HD2 - all you can see is a black shape. But then, these people who have done and confirmed this are indeed reputable...

My prayers have been answered. Granted, I figured it would just be a matter of time... just not this SHORT an amount of time!!!

Guys, this is tom_codon. Just have a look about XDA, I very much doubt he would do this.
As for me, I read in the (other forum) thread that you cannot go back to WM6.5 once installed, as they had to replace the bootloader to get it to work - so this is definitely out of the question for me...

video 2 for all the doubters....

whoa, i didn't think it was going to look cool but after seeing the video, i agree. i gotta have it! so simple but looks pretty cool.

why bother porting when most of us will be upgrading to 2.3 on our respective roms anyway?

We have nowhere to port it from..its not in the sdk.

on nym or any other rom or just by making it a .zip somehow would be aweomse

It's not in the framework?? Whatever it is, it's in the sytem image somewhere. Someone smarter thatn me should do it.
To the poster that said "Why, we'll have 2.3 roms soon" (paraphrasing):
I would like at least this small porrtion of gingerbread on my totally/completely stable/fast Myn rom now. i doubt that the first, even the 2nd or 3rd phase of community built releases will be perfect. But if given just this one feature, I'd be happy. It's not like you can take advantage of new Android features in 2.3 with the evo anyway: we don't have a gyroscope, we don't have a NFC radio.
That said, of course I'd love a full gingerbread release for the evo, but beggars can't be choosers.

Yes and no. It could be a proprietary Samsung thing. Then it wouldn't be in the SDK, but rather in the Nexus S image. Now, seeing as it's supposedly a Google Experience phone, there shouldn't be proprietary things on it... so that would lead me to believe it is in the framework somewhere.

Regardless of where it is, i want it too, lol

I might be wrong, but If the EVO officially gets Gingerbread or even if its ported over.... I the gyroscope is in the and part of the new OS itself and not hardware. Like I said, I could be totally wrong, But think about it, If the EVO Gets Gingerbread then we'd lose out on the new gyroscope feature?? Just doesn't seem right lol

Nope the gyroscope just like NFC is a hardware thing so there is no way for us evo users to get it without some insane hardware modding.

Honeycomb extracted system.img available for download

I have the Honeycomb extracted system.img from the sdk uploaded to mediafire, (mediafire is a lot faster IMO) if anybody wants to take a crack at it, have at it. Be aware, this is not a rom, this is simply the extracted system.img from the honeycomb sdk, just in case someone didnt fully read the title.

Sorry I didnt notice it earlier, but then again, the sdk was released about 10 hours ago, so, its not all too bad.

It's Android 3.0 Preview SDK, not the final one.

If you count Android version as one OS, it should be many more ;].
Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb.
And not Android OSes: Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows Phone 7, Ubuntu, MeeGo. Does Windows 95/98 are counted too? If yes, it makes 10 in total, and 8 usable . Of course if we count like we should Android as one OS, it would make 5 systems. Even then it's damn sky high as majority of smartphones run just one dedicated OS.

Isn't Honeycomb strictly a tablet OS? I tried to use the normal HD2 res on it and 240 display density and got only force closes when trying to boot it on my PC.

I have just got used to Gingerbread and now we could get Homenycomb??? Maaan, this would be awesome I only want the devs to take their time to improve Gingerbread as much as possible.

Why would you want a tablet based os on such a little screen like the hd2. Makes no sense to me. I do believe this is one ill stay away from..
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Yea ok, i bet if its ported and runs nice u will flash! lol

Just caught eye of this new story. It appears Honeycomb won't be limited to tablets. There's mention of a phone version to be released later this year.
Honeycomb love. Outstanding! Because the preview version impressed me. A lot different from the usual Android. I would love having this on my HD2.

Honeycomb is very nice according to pocketnow

you could have just done it and not post about it. It makes as much sense as the fact the even though u said you wouldnt, you will...

I am posting here so that any dev that could start working on this would better improve Gingerbread. I wouldn't install it yet, I will wait just like I did with Gingerbread. Nice file though.

Sense 4 on the nexus s. Makes you wonder what can happen on our phone. Many people will probably say it wont work without major tweaks and drivers but look at the HD2. That phone has been pushed to the limit. I wonder if our device could do something similar.
