Porting Android ROM to Diamond

Hi all!
I've been part of your community for the last few months and am just beginning to get a grasp of how things work.
To sum up my situation now...I had the diamond,but it was broken and then bought the hero not knowing the diamond could be fixed.When I got my diamond back from repair though I thought about,you know,doing a little hacking on it.So I've been flashing ROMs and,of course,have tried android.
I know some of you will say "Why not root the hero and flash a custom ROM on it too?".BUT!I want to keep my hero stock,mostly because of warranty issues and cause I don't want to brick it (always possible,right?).So,having the diamond available for everything and having loved android after hating WinMo,I thought about trying to port an android ROM to it.I've tried all possible android "installations"(so to say,it's never actually installed) and have liked Myn's Warm Donut most of all.Then the idea crossed my mind...As there are so many wanderful android ROMs,why not have one on the diamond?
I am thinking about trying to port either Team Villain's SuperHero or Exit93's Kimera 1.8 from hero,but I haven't got any past unzipping the ROM file!
So,what next?What do I do?If anyone wants to help you're welcome!After all I have thought of it as a community work product!
flashing an android rom isn't possible..for now...but if you want to port an android rom you should start from a rom of the g1...then if you want to do system.sqsh you need a linux distribution and sqsh tools..to use it in a ext2 partition i don't know
I am aware of the situation my friend!I know that,unfortunately,android can't be flashed on the diamond...I just want to make it run on the diamond,through haret!
And for the other thing you said about my PC's OS,I use Ubuntu mainly(much better than Windows,believe me!) and Windows 7 once in a while...So,where do I start from?

the why i don't know but we can only flash a windows mobile rom..maybe there are some troubles getting working linux without using wm...anyway the developers like babijoe and phhusson are working to make this possible
is there a superlite wm rom that just contains the essential stuff to run android?

if you run haret.exe to start android, the WM will be completely shut down. wm is just used to initialise the stuff for android. u can use a full WM, no need to have an extralite one

Anyone knows what I need to replace to get Myn's Warm Eclair running on the diamond(from ext2/3 partition,NoSquash method)???

This is in progress. I managed to get it running till boot animation and this - unfortunately - is relooping. But I've uploaded ito to the dev (=Myn) so he can perhaps fix this
Did you check with adb logcat ? The last time I had some loopings I had some wrong permissions on /etc/dbus.conf.
adb shell , chmod 755 on the file fixed it
Don't know guys,I'm not an expert!
One thing that has come to my attention is that your SuperHero ROM vatoloco might have problems only because of the Sense UI.Try deleting Rosie.apk and Rosie.odex from /system/apps and try again.Haven't tried it yet.Not that I don't like SuperEclair,but wouldn't it be better to have two nice Android Roms instead of one?

[Q] [Req] Defy Modding [Req]

Hello,

There is already dualboot mod in the dev section, but you can only dualboot between two androidsystems. Windows will never run on defy because windows isn't opensource and you can't modify it so that it runs on the defy
so bada is also another option...........
except that our boot loader is locked. a dual boot of android system is the max we can go

That's right. We can't port things with our locked bootloader. Even if it wasn't locked we would need the sources to port the os but they're closed source.
HTC HD2 was originally a windows phone thats why it has windows. Currently windows has not been ported to any android devices yet or ever. But android has been ported to the iphone search up idroid. Like UEman said it's not possible on an android device because windows is not opensource but like you see android can be ported to almost any device using linux as it is opensource

Install windows phone in android device

First of all, hello, I am new here and sorry if this is not te rigth section for this topic.
I have an old galaxy ace with android 2.3 which I am not using for anything and I would like to know if is possible to install windows phone on it, not a rom or an ui style but the OS itself.
Since I dont use it, there is no problem if something fails in the process, its just for experimentations
So, is it possible?
Thanks!

Several doubts and some help! (newbie)

Hi everyone I'm new in this forum and I don't know anything about this smartphone world but I have some questions about my personal Xperia M. First of all I want to apologize for my bad english coz I hate web-traductors so I don't use them.
A friend told me I should install CM11 (Cyanogenmod If I remind correctly) in my smartphone coz it'd be better, I've tried to find some information in Google in my language coz I barely undertand the english technicisms for smartphones but I didn't fund anything so I decided to post in this forum.
I heard tha there is no official version for my smartphone and If I install an unofficial version this can broke my smartphone, is that true? Do you guys think that the CM11 is advisable for my Xperia? I want to know if It'll improve the performance.
How should I start If I want to install CM11 in my Xperia M? I'll let you some information:
Xperia M Android version 4.3
Xperia M C1905

I am also a newbie to Android like you
Do you have a PC with you?
Then why don't you make root access on your phone?
About 75% of my installed apps requires root to get its full potential.
I am on XMD (2004).
otherwise I would help to root your phone.
there maybe many threads for rooting your handset (1905)
CM11 is one of the greatest option for the beginners i have ever seen!!!.Pros Are -
1. Extended Battery Life
2. improved performance
3. KikKat UI
I think you can go for it

& its 'cons' ?
I have heard that many options will not work with CM as it is still on beta stage! is it right?
also if I couldn't lock my boot loader, I will loose my warranty also.

no problem with CM. cuz you can always lock BootLoader via flashtool and there are some minor bugs ( No problems to the user with these bugs)

Possibility of Android Go in our device?

Android Go is a lighter version of Android to help with the phones having 512mb to 1gb ram. Is there still any developers willing to give it try for our beloved Nokia X?
i don't think our phone can support android 8.1 it not the RAM that you need to make the phone run we have a low CPU and GPU too
so i don't think that but i am going to try to use it i will tell what will be the result that i will get but i think some other dev's can get another result i am still a noob in android development
