Dunno, but I tried entering my Sprint Serial number and it would not let me download it.
C'mon Dave, where are you?

Any why would it not work? The phones are capable of both GSM and CDMA.

What, close the thread you mean? Why we should have to post to another thread about supposedly official ROMs I don't know
According to HTC site
"*This is a generic software update. Any additional software or settings provided by your mobile operator or company will be lost. If you require this customization, please contact your supplier first before upgrading."

At the moment, the forums are seeing a large number of threads such as this - all this thread seems to be doing is providing the notification and link - if you keep these all in one place it makes searching easier.
Also, stuff about ROMs usually goes in the ROM section of the forum, rather than the general section.
The best place would probably to put the link in the wiki actually, now that I think about it.
I do understand your point about the other thread tho as that links to another site anyway, and is aimed at Tom's releases. But then again if you post the link there it provides an alternative to his, so maybe it is a good idea after all.
I only commented as I had just seen about three threads in the Rom forums that were like this one and closed by Dave.
Since the HTC Smart is formally an HTC phone, will it get it's own dedicated forum? It came out back in March and I still have yet to see a forum for it. Can anyone let me know if/when a forum will be made? Thanks!
Until we hear from some developers on how much can be done with the HTC Smart, we're going to skip it. This could change...
Alright, I haven't heard much from it. That's why I was curious since every HTC phone ever made is on here... except for the Smart....

That's not true really. First ones that come in mind are:
HTC P3000 (HTC Wave)
HTC P6300 (HTC Panda)
Qtek G100 (HTC Galaxy)
Those devices was never added to xda and there are some more I think

Aren't those the chinese ones that are all under the Dopod name though?
AFAIK, there's not much that can be done with the HTC Smart at present
I know someone with it, but he seems to feel hard-done by compared to my Hero and other Android phones out there. I dunno if it can be 'rooted' or anything like that.
But I imagine that given the proprietary nature of the OS, it will gain a limited following, which might hinder any possible dev work.
But if you can get into the device using telnet or anything like that, or find a way to flash or modify the filesystem, then you're half way there

Well.... if their was an XDA section I think it would progress in terms of customization and support.

+200. By adding a BREW forum (like you did with bada) we could most likely get some people on board to look at the HTC Smart and Freestyle.
And then there was silence!
Brew forum needed
I agree about the need for a Brew forum. Discussion breeds ideas
Bought my wife one of these sweet looking phones as her introduction to smart phone what waste of time, thing just keeps freezing, dialling when it likes to random people and openly moves stuff around after she has customized it......
Tried to sync it even that is not strait forward.........downloaded the HTC Sync software and can get it connected but the section on the right is all greyed out and it comes up with tick on of the boxes for it to sync.....but there's nothing to tick..
Anyone else had any problems?? I feel an updated firmware might well help. The no mention of the phone even existing on the HTC website and I only got it xmas just gone. I find that pretty appalling...

You want to put windows onto an android phone?
Virtually everyone that owns a Leo (HD2) has been trying to do the opposite since they got their handset.
In short. No
There are far too few interested for any chef to bother.
There are Windows Phone 7 themes and apps that can replicate the look.
If you get Launcher pro and pay for the extras then i recommend having a look at this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781455
If anything it looks better than WP7
Also have a look in the market (from your phone) for windows phone android.
Its a work in progress app that will give you the awful blue tiles effect that you want.
There is also Zune Home, This looks like the older windows 6.5
Hope this helps (if it does hit the thanks button)

i know the topic is like 9 months old, but you might want to consider that a future is not written until someone takes it as a challenge and wupti you got phone7.5 on HD2
So, never say "No"

Indeed. of course the desire would end up "crap"
Unfortunately it would never happen mate. WP7 is closed source. Microsoft isn't too happy with people flashing it to the HD2 (leo) and that runs wm 6.5.
Anyhow android is so much better. But try metro or launcher7 on the market. There's free and pay for apps.
HTC Desire
Not a rom, but try "Launcher 7" from the market. It's a launcher that gives the look of WM7.
Not sure if it's any good, not tried it personally.
I'd be tempted to try and get a HD2 if I was interested in WP7 - because of the ability to run WM6.5/WP7/Android/Windows98/etc.
I can't see it coming to the Desire anytime soon - as already said - lack of interest to port something that will be very difficult
I don't like the WP7 launchers. Want one? Then get a WP7 phone. or the hd2 as that beast does near enough anything. Except ios and palms software ofcourse ;-)
HTC Desire
I know this is an old thread but I did not feel like opening a new one for a question that's already asked.
So the question is: Can WP7 run on a HTC Desire. While it would be difficult to do, i'm absolutely sure that someone would be able to do it. Why?
1: HTC HD2. It can run Android, it can run WP7. This makes the point "WP7 is closed source so it's not possible" invalid.
2: Somebody made Ubuntu run on a HTC Desire. also there is a lot of information on the bootloader of Android devices and I'm sure there is some info on the Windows Mobile/Phone bootloaders.
3: Android 4 ICS is already running on the HTC Desire with Hardware Acceleration, even though the drivers needed are not published by the maker (Quallcomm if I remember). This either means that someone is doing extra work of making existing drivers work or that someone is actually making th new drivers.
4: HTC uses the same kind of chips for their whole lineup. Take for example the HTC Mozart:
CPU: Qualcomm QSD8250
Memory: 576 MB RAM; 512 MB ROM
GPU: Adreno 200
Resolution: 800x480
Those are 4 of the most important parts of any phone that may cause problems because of drivers. Also the HTC Trophy and HTC Radar have the same camera resolution as the one in the HTC Desire, so they may be the same.
All in all, I think it should be possible to port WP7 to the Desire. Main problem would be to find someone that actually cares enough to put lots of time in it and also knows the details on both Android and WP7.
Other main problem is that WP7 is closed source, which would make the developers process take a lot longer, discouraging devs even more to try it.
So let me know how your (educated!!!) views are on this subject.
I got HTC Desire, but I dont like Android. Still no chance flash it to WP7 ?
Ehh I'm waiting for wp7 too. Know that feel Bros.

I've just upgraded to a Sensation, have my desire lying around and I wanted to know the same thing... Looking back at it now its sluggish on my ROM. I fancy trying wp7 but there don't seem to be any ROM's around still. I think that with a bit of tweaking for the desire it would be cool... We just need a chef to cook something like this up... Please, if anyone has the skills...

Sorry to burst your bubble but this isn't by HTC is on ibt website also it is for hox+ by llori if I'm not mistaken,all htc say in the article is that they have no plans so far to update HOX at the present time.

There is hope for aosp if anyone has time to build it for hox but as for htc updating it could happen as i think Google want as many handsets updating to 4.4 as possible but the decision will be HTC only.

We will all know the truth when the times come if HTC decides to release a pure AOSP 4.4 for us but we just have to manually do it ourselves. Doubt I would go for it since I didn't had a good time with the AOSP rom floating around in the forums
It's for the one x+, showed up on my BlinkFeed today.

I just have a basic question. I'm considering the HTC M8 as my next phone, (waiting on Nexus 6 unveil first ) but was curious about how the Google Play edition and "normal" will work. Is it possibly to just transform the standard Sense phone to a stock android with OTA, and vice versa? And if not, are you simply able to flash each new build pushed to the Google Play editions on the standard Sense edition since it's the same hardware?
Thanks for the help!
Obviously I can't say how it's all going to happen here, but with my S4, I was rocking out a nearly stock GPE rom. It did have some visual and performance tweaks, so I never got to try the OTA updates, but as best as anyone could tell, the two devices were identical. With the GPE M8 apparently shipping out, I'd expect similar roms to hit the forums in short order.

Oooh glad to hear, thanks! I'll probably end up back here if we don't get a sexy metal bodied Nexus, and I really doubt we will
Can someone help me please?
I have bought a HTC m8 sense 6 version in the UK and want to make it GPE. How do I approach this?
